Its time for Season 2 of KoF XV! So heres the big video going over pretty much everything! Some character changes are exciting, some are kinda boring(but thems the breaks), everything timestamped for your ease of use. Make sure to check out the full patch notes linked in the Video Description as well! If you could drop a like on the video it would also be greatly appreciated, and if theres something you think I didn't get all of in the patch by all means post in the comments below so everyone has the maximum amount of info available!

It's definitely one of the harder fighting games to pick up. Namely because it is faster paced than a lot of the others and has legacy inputs and quite a few movement options. The good news is that KoF has stayed the same mostly the same throughout the years and so if learn how to play 98' or 02'UM then you can do well in XV. The Discords are also huge and helpful and there are a ton of archetypes and a big roster for you to pick who you like.

you're doing the lord's work my good sir, thank you for the breakdown! a couple tips from my end - bit of a correction: whip's been able to do her double jump from a backwards JUMP for a while, but this patch is what let her do it from a back STEP. a VERY welcome change though, extremely silly. i can also confirm that her swatter is like... usable? now? like it actually feels like you don't have to predict a fireball to hit it. again, very welcome, just helps round her out and make her almost a real character! - yuri's f+A whiff cancel i believe just means you can whiff a button and cancel it into the flying butt in neutral. not sure how much of a difference THAT makes but you CAN sometimes get a link from it if spaced right so maybe there's a use case for it. - as for leona changes: while i'm sad to see EX x-calibur got spayed and neutered i think the cl.D changes make SHA combos both easier and stronger which i thoroughly appreciate. - and athena changes: cl.B DOES chain into cl.A which further links into far.C so for like, quickmax combos and crossups it's actually a pretty nice little change! she's a character that doesn't get like... anything from lights besides her autocombo (which was optimal in the last game lmao) so it's appreciated. - rugal needed like a LITTLE more but what he got was nice. i think the "hits in-air opponents" thing for heavy vanishing rush is mostly for like, allowing it to hit from EX reflector crumple (at least from what i've seen) but i've yet to lab it out much more than that

As a Yuri player (Main squad is Yamazaki, Yuri, Ramon), I can say the changes aren’t too much but more tools for her already pretty good pressure is always welcome, the whiff cancel buff is interesting, I really wish they just made the overhead cancelable but can’t win em all. My boy Ramon getting the proper buffs he deserves is the real winner to me, being able to ex throw after hoist and LEVEL 1 SUPER from regular sobat is huge and I’m excited to play more later today.

NGL, I think honestly Yamazaki losing his free meter build might be more of a nerf than all of his buffs put together. That was a huge part of his gameplan and one of the most cited things about him by a lot of people who played him. So I'm not sure I can agree with rich get richer, I think it's a lot closer than you're giving it credit for. A deserved nerf, and hopefully the buffs are enough to cancel it out.

You made mention of Clark's c.HK not being able to avoid low attacks. That isn't true, it still goes over lows but now if he takes a hit it'll be a grounded hit instead of causing him to air recover. Also the change to his c.LK makes it easier for him to do his sweep combo: 2LK/c.LK > c.LK > LK > 2HK. The sweep is a pretty easy link off his far LK, a good simple knockdown combo that you can cancel into his LK+HK short hop to close distance. For Geese, I'm pretty sure the change to his 214HP>HP just makes the wall bounce more consistent to follow up on. You also missed mentioning his Raigou Reppuken has a wider hitbox when used while the opponent is in hit-state. They made it taller so it hits easier when comboed from a wall bounce - a small but nice quality of life change. Same dealy with O. Yashiro's command normal follow up, the mini-blowback he gets after 6LP/LK: the way it hits the opponent in the air changed so that his anti-air command grab will hit more consistently at the end of combos. It's very noticeable when you do c.HK>6LK>HP+HK combos, because the kick command normal would push the opponent too far and make the air grab miss.
