King of Fighters 15
“The King of Fighters” (KOF) is a series of fighting video games produced by SNK. It all started in 1994 with the game The King of Fighters 94. Originally, these games were produced for SNK’s Neo Geo MVS arcade machine. They used Neo Geo MVS until 2004, when they decided to switch to another arcade machine called Atomiswave. They produced two King of Fighters games for Atomiswave, namely “The King of Fighters Neowave” and “The King of Fighters XI”. But since then, SNK stopped using Atomiswave.
Now, the newest arcade machine they’re using is called the Taito Type X2, and they started using it in The King of Fighters XII. They also made versions of these games for different video game consoles. The latest game in the series is called “The King of Fighters XV” and will be launched in February 2022.
“The King of Fighters XV”, also known as KOF XV, is a fighting game produced by SNK. It was released on February 17, 2022 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. This game is special because it is the first game in the “King of Fighters” series to be made using Unreal Engine 4, and it is also the first game to use the GGPO rollback network.
The story takes place after “The King of Fighters 14” and mainly tells the story of Junrong and Aila, two fighters with special abilities related to different dimensions. Along with other familiar characters, they face new threats. People love this game because of its characters, how it works as a team, and its smooth online performance. However, some people disliked the story mode, found the tutorial a bit complicated, and thought some of the game mechanics weren’t great.

King of Fighters 15 gameplay
The game system of The King of Fighters XV consists of three fighters, just like previous games in the series. There is a move called Crushing Blow, which is a defensive move that can also be used offensively. As before, there’s something called “Max Mode,” which allows fighters to perform stronger moves when their energy bar is full. In this game, even without entering MAX mode, characters can use special moves in the MAX/EX version. The game has different online modes, including ranked matches, casual matches, room matches and online training.
For beginners, there is a button called “Rush” that helps them perform combos and special/super moves easily. This is an updated version of “King of Fighters XIV”. Crushing Blow is a defensive move, but it can also be used offensively if timed correctly. It’s a bit like the “focus attack” move in Street Fighter IV. In King of Fighters 14, people mostly used max mode for combos, so in King of Fighters 15 they made some changes to it to balance things out. The developers want players to use Max Mode in different situations, not just combos. They also made some changes when the game is in neutral, making the attacks stronger and breaking more guards when activated.
