By very heavy request here is my video on Who should go exactly where in KoF XV! Now a few notes: This is my opinion and my opinion only, so if you wanna change things up feel free and by no means do not let me stop you. If you have an idea for a different position for a character do not feel discouraged and/or freak out on me about it lol. There are some quick video examples on this video but for the most part its basically discussion, I already got one 2 hour video under my belt so wanted to make this discussion a bit more prompt. Team placement is an important art in KoF so if this video has helped you out in any way then drop a like!

Chizuru's a mid/anchor. She gets really good mixups off her EX teleports, including unseeable left-rights, and her pressure super gives her an overhead/low mixup that leaves her advantageous on block.

More KoF coming! Although baring any big news I think next we gotta talk about some Street Fighter, lots of stuff swirling around my head and gotta get it off my chest. Also! Keep in mind streams are back so check out the rooflemonger twitch channel! Schedule is posted on there but mostly tues/thurs/fri, and for the most part its gonna be a lot of KoF XV for the foreseeable future

The people asked, and you answered. You give the people what they want. What more can anyone ask for? Glad I subscribed.

Idk why but just seeing chizuru in her own tier list kills me with laughter. I hope this becomes a running gag.

Chizuru is point/mid af. Been playing her since 98 (the actual year, not the game) and the plan is more or less still the same. She has great normals and her illusions make her kind of a zoner that plays mind games on you until one of those gets in your face, at which point it's great to have a few bars to keep the combo going but she can do just fine without them, keeping you away and wasting time till your mid or anchor's turn. I feel anchor would be wasted on her having so many characters that can make much better use of a full meter and TOD you from a jump-in.

It's so cool that despite having no interest in kof or knowing all of the characters' names, i can tell everyones basic play styles and thus understand their place on the tier list from your 2hr character summary video. Keep up the great content :)

New KoF15 player here, thank you for all the helpful content. Very informative and done in a way that's easy to understand. Thank you, Rooflemonger! I would also appreciate a Chizuru video at some point. =)

Very nice and quick elaboration of each characters' positions! Personally, I actually like to run Maxima in mid, so that I have more meter to use EX Anti-Air Grab as a reversal, EX Grab to instantly put people in the corner during combos, Max Cancel off his amazing armored pokes, or even raw Beam super if someone dares to throw a fireball at him! Maybe it'd work out if I were a little better at the game, lol!

Im here to say i appreciate all the work you put into these games. I love your channel

was waiting for this exact type of video after your team-building one. thanks brother! king of fgc content.

You are the absolute best FGC content creator bro. Thank you so much

Thank you so much for the content brother. You have been putting in the time to help out all of us new to KOF and it has made the world of difference for my friends and I. I await every new KOF video excitedly. Thanks again and keep up the good stuff!

Chizuru is also super versitile when it comes to meter usage, neutral, meter building and damage out with or without meter mid screen or in the corner.

Thanks so much for all the guides, this is very helpful!!

Thank you sir, may I have another! This is an essential piece to the puzzle and one that no KOF XV player should overlook. This guide on team comps is fantastic and unfortunately it's an aspect that many new to KOF will NOT realize the importance of until now. I've seen other ppl put out tier lists and such but honestly what use is it if you put "x" character (who's meter hungry) as point and can't achieve any of their real combo potential. Really good stuff, much appreciated. Keep putting out these fantastic videos and I'll keep coming back to watch and learn from them.

I didn't really ask for something like this, but it is something that I sorely needed, thanks!

Excellent video and break down. I couldn't have done better, phenomenal synopsis. 👏🙌👍

Appreciate the content for new viewers. Being honest, despite NEVER playing a KoF, I grind fighting games so much that I'll just learn by trying. Watched your "who to play" to find out what characters do and who I like the look of. Screenshotted this for an idea of the general consensus on team building(despite probably going to ignore it for what I wanna try or experiment with anyway), and I'm gonna go get my ass kicked til I wanna experimenting and use these videos for reference. But I think that's why I really respect your content. Some stuff like "who to play" for people who've never touched a single KoF. Some stuff like this that's immediately helpful for beginners, but can also be a good reference for intermediate players trying to experiment and sorta learn how THEY play the game. Characters specific stuff that helps anyone who's picking up a character for the first time at any level. Just a bunch of content that can help.

Every video you make is making me want to buy this more and more. Good to know that clark can be played in two roles and that most charcaters I like can be played anywhere.

As a brand new KOF player. Thank you. You've helped me a tremendous amount the past few weeks

Just the video I need you never disappoint roofl 🤘

This def helps me on deciding how to structrue my team. I simply find it funny how El Rosa used Ramon in all positions and Dino on anchor and they were TEARING the competition

Your opinion is pretty valuable especially to beginners who may never have played KOF before. Thanks dude super helpful FYI. I'm a beginner and have never played KOF before

Thank you as someone who new to fighting games especially KOF XV this really helps currently been getting destroyed online

Nice video bro, i remember when i first started in kof13 i tried to find some kind of guide to build a team but wasn't able to find anything like this one right here. Very cool and it seems like we're on the same road. My team is Kyo/Luong/Ryo.

Great video I'm a beginner getting into kof 15 and this was extremely helpful

All reasonable placements, especially Chizuru, agree 100% on that one.

I'm so happy I found these videos. I love the KOF content got the game yesterday and I can't wait to play it when I get home. I Loved your who should you main video and I have a handful of characters and teams I wanna try. I wanna do Kyo, Chris, and Vanessa atm tho. I really like the sound of that team

Very good video! This will help people develope a team! My team ATM is kula/kyo/chizuru. So far chizuru definitely works as mid and potentially anchor. Her supers debuff the enemy and the other can cause mixups/extend combos.

I love all this KOF coverage!

Been looking for a video like this since launch lol great video

Bro you are without a doubt one of the GOATs when it comes to fgc content. No one puts out videos this high quality and informative videos THIS fast! Keep it up King Roof 👑

These have been some of the most helpful videos. Never really took the game serious. Just thought Iori's laugh was cool. Learning curve from SFer has been better thanks to your videos. Especially the Clark video. My friend is already hating on Clark's juggle anywhere dash throw.

Thanks for all this useful KoF XV Stuff. I am eagerly awaiting the Ash Crimson Saga Lore Video ;)

Thanks a lot for this! I haven't been able to get the game just yet, but this is definitely exactly something I've been thinking about until I can. It would be very helpful if you updated this placement list with the release of each DLC team, as well!

I like that King can go anywhere, since she's sort of my "main". So if I followed this with the other characters I like using, it winds up as Shermie/Blue Mary/King, King/Delores/Elisabeth, and King/Luong/Vanessa. Although I could play around with more combinations.

*Looks at the list* "Three times Anywhere. Cool." Thanks roofle, I'll just let the video run in the background and continue sandbagging

I'm waiting for my Omega edition to get delivered and I will definitely be using this video to make up my team.

Thank you for this video

Thank you for this

This game is the first time I've ever heard calling any of these characters points mids and anchors. Usually you throw your best last, 2nd best first and anyone in the middle. My anchors are usually Ryo, Terry, Yuri, iori. Points are kyo, Athena, or Ryo. Mid is anyone who matches the team

Loving all the KOF content. Looking forward to the Ash Crimson saga recap

If Elden Ring wasn't about to come out I would have played KOF XV by now. I'm gonna still watch these videos because the game/characters seems super interesting and to support the channel! Hopefully one day I'll find time to play it, it's fun theorizing who I would want to play with all the past videos you have released on the roster

You got a new sub. I'm trying to learn how to play this game when I have free time. Since the only characters I know are the ones who appeared in teh versus games (SVC & CVS) and Art of fighting so my knowledge of them is short bar a 5 min test on MAME. So far my characters are King, Benimaru, Dinosuar, Vanessa, & Terry

Chizuru is point/mid in my opinion. She has some decent extensions with meter and her super cancel is useful to have available for the debuff, but for the most part you'll be zoning with clones (and building meter), counter-zoning with reflect and abusing the boot. She also has an invincible reversal that's very reliable.

Maybe make the next CG Chizuru as she’s in question. Also I figured Garou will come end of March but should we see individual character trailers soon?

I like using Yuri first, while her combos aren't so great without meter, half a bar here and there isn't too hard, and she's effective at running around like crazy even without meter. Still the video is super helpful as I finally feel like I have an actual grasp of why these placements happen beyond just that characters vaguely like meter... Puts a finer point on the whole concept. Thanks!

It’s cool to know that my main team of King, Blue Mary and Terry is pretty flexible. I can see myself swapping these guys around during a particular match, like swapping King to the anchor position and Terry to point.

For this being my first KOF game in a VERY long time. This helps alot! Great vid roof!!!!! Now please make just 1 combo vid of 21 when she comes out lol!!! (Ik u aint feeling dbz anymore but... do it 😁!)

KoFXV is definitely my new favorite fighter since USF4

Thanks for kof xv content.

Thank you

I think mid is probably right for shun'ei so he can do the ex dash mix and resets getting discovered. Seems like those will be really good and useful as the game goes on

Tier list was alright 👍. Gonna do mind in due time 😆

Angel, Isla and Ash are literally in the places you put them and they are my team! What a coincidence.

When you clicked the video just to see where he’d put Chizuru.

I probably won't get this game but just here to support and drop a like lol

I have Khronen in point, simply because he has a lot of normals that are rough to hit confirm off of (forward A and standing C specifically), but those normals are really good pokes in their own right. I’ve won games with JUST point Khronen by poking with my drill normals and slowly gaining meter by throwing out his fireball.

I guess it's the character efficiency with meter is the main concern on point.

I like how Chizuru’s just there

Thanks

Kula and Elizabeth randomly have transparent backgrounds unlike the rest. Just wanted to point that out! Jokes aside, excellent video as always man.

Ahhh okay. So today I'm going to switch Angel from anchor to point just to learn her more and use her more often to get the muscle memory down.

This video made me even more confused! I’m trying to decided who I want as anchor between Elizabeth and K’ and I can’t make up my mind, and you just told me either is fine!

You can tell how evil someone is depending on where they put Athena.

My impression was actually that Ash would make a GREAT point (regardless of whether it would be better at the anchor position) -- its jump-in HP no bar bnb does 301 damage, and it can do well simply zoning and anti-airing, not to mention its command button which is great neutral. Am I wrong???

I think Chizuru really needs to be anchor, all of her setups and mixups require ex and if you want to actually deal some damage off your hits you're gonna need to spend that bar too.

So my team would go Athena/Yuri/Ralf if I go by the list. Thank you!!

What would we do without you, Father Roof?

I put Shemie mid as I love being able to link her grabs into supers (plus my point is Iori and that guy can do anything really). Great info though, thanks! (PD. lol for Chizuru, God knows I tried, really hard, but I don't get her in this game)

Nice - turns out I chosed 2 anywhere characters and one mid :v

Well uh... This is interesting. All of the characters I was thinking of playing are on the ANYWHERE tier. Guess I gotta go by feel, then.

Very nice and helpful guide, as usual! I would say that creating a team of 3 "Anywhere" characters is the strongest option right? Because you can switch their position at the begining of each match without thinking too much about it. Is it true or am I being dumb here ?

Hey Roofle, when the dlc teams come out, will you make an updated tier list?

By your tier list my team is all in the anywhere tier

I agree mostly, but I do have a few personal changes from experience; Venessa, I'd put as a pure anchor for basically the same reason as Ash being there. Vanessa can play a basic rushdown/hitconfirm-y game, but she explodes with EX puncher vision, and most of her real good damage wants a bar or two. She won't use all of your meter at once, but she'll eat through it like a fire. King, Athena, Heidern... anyone who's a zoner or can function as a zoner does well as point in my humble opinion. Lastly, I kind of feel like Clark could fit anywhere on the team. Point and Mid are his best, but the same is true (IMO) of Iori, Terry, and Kyo. I think Clark benefits a lot from being able to recklessly back-up his command grabs with super, so he can easily eat a lot of meter, especially with EX Juggle anywhere assisting with his hitconfirms. Honestly though, otherwise I agree with the vid, keep up the amazing work!

Out of curiosity, why is Ryo Sakazaki a mid/anchor whereas Robert Garcia goes anywhere? From what I can understand, they are very similar characters with mostly minor differences. Do said differences alone account for the discrepancy in position placement?

This the one!

🙏 Thanks

K, so, I'm running King/Clark/Robert, so this should help me decide where... *Sees Tier List.* Well, that helps a lot.

New to KOF and discovered your vids which help a lot! Just wondering why you put Vanessa as mid/anchor as you didn’t mention her. Almost all matches I’ve seen, even in Latin America have her point and I’ve heard multiple times she does great dmg with normal combos. I ask because I’m really liking her and Mai so far. Still trying to find my 3 but there are so many cool characters :-)

Really want to run the full Orochi team but not sure where to put everyone, I've seen lots of people put them all in the point/mid category. Any ideas on which one benefits the most from some meter?

I like to go mai point, shermie mid and terry anchor

Right now I’m practicing with Terry-Robert-King. Terry as anchor, Robert as mid, and King as point annoying people with zoning. But sometimes i put Terry or Robert at point since they have good meterless damage output. I probably gonna try different characters like Shermie, Chris, K, Kyo, or Iori.

Dino in the back so I can dinner into climax. Possibly the strangest sentence I've written all day but there you go.

Is there link to that list on the tier in the beginning of the video?

When the character you want to use the most is anchor only and the target dummy for the video :/ It's also the one I need to put the most effort for the character I want, so I better get practicing a bit more and make the best out of him when I get to the last character

This Video may have solidified my "who would I play" thoughts. Point Angel Mid Maxima Anchor King of Dinosaurs I'm amused that I picked a bunch of front liners, but that's the way I play so it makes sense. I'd I'm left with just Dinosaur I'm going to be abusing those throws. And the ground is never safe while Dinosaur has Meter!

Still trying to figure out where I like to put Isla and Dolores. I've been using Dolores anchor because the quick max confirms let her do so much damage while isla isn't really doing super long combos. Its also early and i also have King on point so things can honestly change

Can somebody explain why I'm seeing so much Shermie anchor then? Reynald had her yesterday on a big tourney

Ramon’s best place is in the character select screen, but he should only be used at point if one picks him. His EX Moves are mostly trash and his only good Super is the Lv. 2 where he runs to the wall first. His damage output for the meter used is moldy buns, so any other character would generally get more mileage from meter.

Would a team of 3 "anywhere"s be better or worse than a dedicated point, mid and anchor in your opinion?

Can you make video on how to approach I don’t know if it’s just me but 95 percent of the people I have played refuse to play the game until I make a decision

Been thinking of swapping Shermie out to a side team in favor of Luong but looking at the vid that'd leave me with 3 Mid/Anchor characters (Isla, Luong and Krohnen) so I'm conflicted

Geese sounds like an anchor character ⚓

"If Angel had meter she wouldn't know what to do with it." Well, I can think of one thing. TIME TO STYLE ON EM' WITH A CLIMAXXX!!!!!!!!! 😆🤣 God damn I love this game. LMAO! Thanks for all of the content. I would've never tried it otherwise.

I actually use ash as a point as he has strong normals and I just prefer to keep my distance from the opponent and if they go toward him he has the power to keep them away with normal specials although I sometimes switch him to mid with Robert at point instead My team is Ash/Robert/Iori

Playing KoF 13 I got so use to playing Maxima anchor with so much meter and HD bar it was crazy. But being that this game isn't KoF 13 I guess he does need that much meter to work with. Still good damage with 1 bar so might give him a shot on point. That might leave Betty mid for my team and King as Anchor for a lot more Ex Venom strikes and damage in combos

In my admittedly amateur experience, Kukri is a fantastic Point character, he only needs maybe one bar to do impressive damage and his neutral and oki game is phenomenal even without it.
