So here's another guide for KoF XV! This one was basically made because someone asked me a question, so basically never be afraid to ask! Mixing people up in KoF is actually really basic and universal, anyone can do it because everyone has the tools. There is character specific stuff to add to the mix sure but lets start with the basics! If you found this video helpful leave a like! It helps the video, and the channel

I would also really appreciate a defense guide to counter the things I just saw 😅 Great video though!

These guides have been ridiculously helpful! Thank you so much for putting them out (especially so quickly).

In large part thanks to your guides, I was able to beat a level 18 despite being only level 3 just because I knew fundamental basic movement. Thanks bro, I'm hoping to go far in this game.

Probably more combo guides soon? God I hope the big capcom countdown is for SF6 and not more resident evil stuff. Its gonna be more resident evil stuff though :(

Despite having like 6 years of fg experience these videos are always helpful. Especially that hold button trick! Made things so much easier

Helpful as always for us noobs. Had no idea you could super cancel most overheads.

I love that you did this with Vanessa, i really needed this, against everyone i face its so easy for them to block her stuff.

Thanks for all these guides. The last KOF I played was 98 and I would say I'm a casual player.

That's really helpful. I appreciate you bringing that topic up. Mix ups can be difficult at times even daunting. The transition between SFV and this for me is night and day. So any video you post helps alot. Especially to a newbie like me.

Good insights, including corner stuff, hops, overheads (and cancels off them), and more. Thanks!

dude love your vids! back in my days I used to be a local champ of kof 98 in my town, with the past of time I stopped playing the other versions, now I managed to squeeze some time to get back to kof but I'm super rusty, but your vids have helped me a ton to get to know the new mechanics and practice the old ones, thx a lot.

Thank you for making this video and you made it very clear on the neutral. I have been trying for a long time since kof 98 to figure out the hops and mix ups

I just started playing KOF yesterday, your guides have been super helpful, I never play grapplers but I used your guide for Dinosaur and let me tell you he might be my main from now on.

Wow the anti roll tech is a game changer. You’re a blessing to the new player community.

You always hype me up about the _idea_ of playing all of the games you showcase, but the sad reality is that I lack the motivation to practice, persevere, and get good with even a single character in a single game (e.g. GG Strive MB or Type Lumina) 😛

2:48 Since it wasn't mentioned, do note that if you recover from soft knockdown, you do not have any throw invulnerability on wakeup. Choosing to not recover on soft knockdowns in the corner when your opponent will be in your face afterwards is more appealing because of that, though you obviously may feel free to recover to try and throw off your opponent's oki timing if you show a pattern of staying down.

Another fantastic guide on XV basics. Should provide lots of critical information for those just getting in to VX or looking to sharpen their skills Thanks you for performing this tedious task

Ayyyyye keep em coming rooflemonger!

Appreciate this! Even though I don’t play KoF, the concepts brought up are applicable to other fighting games like Guilty Gear. Thanks for the hard work that makes it so easy to understand!

Thanks for also showing the Mai crossup option. Trying to level up with her

I definitely need to practice my short hops not only for fast overheads, but also for safe jumps against things like Wakeup DP to keep up my offense.

Thank you

I go online and everyone suddenly is good at mix-ups Me: Dang You, Rooflemonger!!!!!!!

Awesome guide. Now I only need to stop getting jumps when i go for hops >_

"Auto khambo with Vanessa, No Skill, I get hit because I do nothing and it is laagy" The vest guy

Thank you I was struggling to open people up who are just sitting and flash kicking lol

Another thing that’s important is looping jump blow back pressure, if you can execute the hops its really good for baiting buttons, especially with characters like clark and dino

Bought this yesterday... men did I regret it 😫

I tried out Angel and understood why she was so difficult immediately. If they made her any easier, she would be the strongest character in the game.

Your video have help me alot. Now im practicing only mixing up my normal attacks to truly understand my character weakness and strength. The only problem I have is being corner. I try to escape roll but I just get throw back into a corner. Any advice?

the jiggles man

Is there a trick to doing shorthops on pad? The window is really difficult to hit consistantly for me

Few questions- when you were doing hop moves, the game says theyre minus on hit. I saw it in the video too Do you need to time it really specifically?

Is wake-up throw invulnerability sacrificed if you roll? For example, if the person rolls on frame 1, can they be thrown on frame 2 even though throw invinc would normally be much longer? Kind of a weird analogy but in 3rd Strike, the throw invincibility window is nullified by the super freeze.

Hey Rooflemonger can you make a guide on how to learn a new fighting game, possibly using KoFXV as an example if you haven't already?

is the best way to practice safejumps is to make the dummy do a wakeup throw or dp?

Characters with close D combo starter seem much better for the anti roll grab tech since they can just hurl the opponent back into the corner if they try to roll out…

Yo rooflemonger thanks for the vids man always great to see them. Any chance I could get some movement tips? I'm a potemkin main from Guilty Gear & it's common to jump (while holding block) as a movement option to get in, but you can't block in the air in king of fighters. It feels like the only safe movement I have is to run up and then quickly stop myself with a block. IDK I just feel like I cannot close the gap & get any close heavys to start a combo. It feels like I need my opponent to run up at me if I want to get effective close hits. I feel like I lack agency in the game. Any tips would be appreciated - thanks :).

Awesome video 👍🏼!. Is there any shortcuts to do short hops?

Is there setplay in kofxv? I'm coming from guilty gear as a millia/dizzy player so that's kinda what I'm looking for, characters who can vortex you and loop mixups

Vanessa! 😍😍😍😍

I know you've made a team building guide, any chance we can get something like which characters do well in what positions?

You should do a video about the buffer system in KoF cause by far that the only thing that don’t make sense to me and everyone kinda sucks at explaining it

Sf6!

Any quick tip for dealing with wakeup throw, am I just not timing my meaty properly?

Is the basic mixup only useful in the corner, or can it be effective mid screen too?

any recommendation on which joystick to use or you guys use the PS controller instead? Just want to get the best experience out of this awesome game.

2:20 realistically if you empty jump low, you are gonna get wake up thrown

Would you say that in the corner you have alot of "hoptions"?

What can you do against Grapplers and Throws in general because at this point they feel boderline annoying espesially Romans invincible throws. Like not everyone can zone them out and now they can just go through it too.

has anyone ever said you sound like chef john from food wishes

I just wonder how to hop consistently with pad

How do you reverse sides in training mode, it seems like the only option is to jump to the other side

Now how do you defend against it? ;-)

as kof noob and a guilty gear/mortal kombat/smash bros veteran I've been getting really upset at short hop spam lol. Also why, when I finally manage to anti air all their jump spam, do they land and recover faster than i can pressure them? it's like 0 frame landing or something insane. Everytime it's my turn I just get punched and the game feels like it makes no sense. Never been so frustrated learning a fighting game before trying kof but at least this video was helpful, thanks.

Can't they just wakeup dp

I get my ass beat in this game, it makes no sense, shouldn't

Tried this in matches an none of it worked. People just get away with whatever they want in this bullshit game

They need to get rid of the left analog inputs.. The inputs of some of these moves are too quick and precise... and omg the Light punch spamming forces everyone to play like noobs.. its more rewarding than trying to put in strict combo inputs
