So here it is, the beginning of the King of Fighters XV coverage, with the classic "Choose your main" video! There's A LOT OF CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME. So this video isn't meant to be a comprehensive breakdown of every single character, but rather to give you an idea of what they are about and their flavour to help inform your decision on who you might wanna play. If you are looking for a beginner guide you can also find that linked either at the end of the video, or linked in the video description. Timestamps everywhere to skip to whomever you think is neat and enjoy!

As a Mexican, I have to play Iori or i lose my nationality.

[impressivestory]

Man this game is so stylish. I will main everyone and never get any good. 💪

[Maken-X]

Athena Asamiya
Archtype: PSYCHO BAAAALL

[lucasl]

One thing to note about Chizuru: Her illusions never cast a shadow, whereas she does, so you can distinguish between the two before the move finishes.

[moemanji]

Man you are greatly appreciated. You actually have no idea how clutch you are allowing me to sit here and understand a game before purchase, you do this for a lot of fighting games and Ngl I think I speak for allot of us when I say you are a big reason newer gen fighting game players are getting fighting games. You make it easy

[kentstarliner]

"If you want to lose friends, Athena is a really good way to do it". Lol!!!😄😄😄
People do get a little annoyed if you get away from them with the teleport a few times.

[Cheezmonka]

Can't wait to pick the characters that everyone considers difficult to learn and get frustrated with the game instead of acknowledging that my own choices cause my problems. Great guide homie. Looking forward to the eventual dozens of hours of character guides, but be sure to pace yourself and not work *too* hard.

[Ikenhauer]

I know it's not exactly what video is about but I love how over the top expressive characters' walking and running animations are. So much personality.

[scoothimself]

Nothing to do with the game but the line "And Bob's your uncle" gave me the biggest hit of deja vu. My Grandpa used to say that ALL the time, hadn't heard it used in over 20 years. Lol. Weird moment.

Thing about fighting games like this and how cool all the characters seem from what I seen in the little gameplay trailers for them, it’s hard to decide who I want to main. Just because I’m blown away by how unique every character is and yes they are some that take a back, more then others but I’m here for it. They got every type of archetype I like(which is basically all of them, even charge characters). Which is why I like videos like this. They help me to weed out certain characters and help me find out which characters I went to specifically focus on and get good with. So I got to thank you for such an awesome, albeit long video.

[Ryumi]

"Helloooo aand welcome!"

When I first started watching your channel: "God why do I find that so annoying"
After months and years of enjoying learning from your content: "What a comforting and familiar intro to a learning session~"

[LoDart]

What's awesome about the characters is that with the system mechanics, characters can easily switch up their playstyles on the fly. For example I love King's zoning tools, but with run and hops, I can play her aggressively and use her tools in new ways. Or take Kyo as another easy example. He's definitely rushdown, but with rolls and the ability to cancel rekkas whenever you want, you can easily play him as a bait and punish character.

I've played fighting games for a long time, and DBFZ was the first game I really tried to get serious in, but eventually the same-iness got to me, and I can't enjoy it as much. Getting into KOF has been fun because it has that breakneck pace but also that classic fighting game feel of expansive options. Looking forward to 15! Thanks for the content Roof.

[Neogears]

Terry really benefits more than most from the ex move changes. He’s typically been terrible at mixups (a deliberate decision) because he’s never had anything to make you wanna stop crouch blocking sans an obvious jump in so ex crack shoot really does a lot for him. Combined with his other great ex’s and it’s nice to see Terry in high tier again after years.

[jhoughto]

You are actually such a workhorse, great job getting this done

[lancelot]

I love this video is just here to be this conversation:

"So kof has a lot of characters."

Rooflemonger: "Yes"

"Which character has command grabs."

Rooflemonger: " Yes."

[sirbumblebee]

I love how the universal buff to hit confirming in this game. XIV had a lot of characters that lacked Cmd normal true combos and thus took a lot of effort to learn how to be safe with

[samedwards]

And heeeerrrreeee GO! The big boy video to start it off! Thanks for this massive boost right at the start of the game, once I get home from work I’ll be watching this beast in full! (And hopefully finding my main team)

[KinaliBZP]

There are still so many KOF characters that I want to try out so I really appreciate something like this! You’ve got a real knack for getting across what makes characters fun to play, while still keeping their weaknesses in mind

[codyPP]

This being my 1st KOF I'm getting into is super helpful. Thank you very much!!!!
