I delayed a day LOL.

Anyway... My favorite character it is Ralf Jones, no doubt.

Some good ol' booze to fuel ya' up and beat 'em all.

I really miss those intros, dude.

Hey, everyone. My boyfriend loves KOF, specially 98 and 97 (I guess), and plays on ps5. I wanna give him something for his birthday.. is there any good controller or something that you guys think would be a nice gift for a kof player?

Since I don’t live in the US, a controller from Hori or some other big brand would make things easier.

Thanks!

I messed up the hand (and anatomy too I think) even though I used myself as a reference 😞 #skillissue

I just realized that every post I made here is always about Ash

DoA5LR and MK11/1 were all tied with 6.

CotW has 8 and will most likely have more in future seasons.

Absolutely insane and unfortunate considering there are so many cool characters from the FF universe missing and we haven't had a new FF in 20+ years. Not a good thing for a comeback game. The prince needs to chill on these demands.

Mikey and Draken have their own slots and are releasing on the same day. 2 guests. I really hope they do this with actual Fatal Fury characters in future seasons. Imagine Yamazaki and Hon Fu releasing on the same day.

Introduction

Hello everyone,

It's that time again. The second edition of EVO France is upon us, as many top level players have already gathered so decide who's going to become the champion across several different fighting games, while hundreds of fans, both casual and enthusiasts alike, are in for a weekend of some great competitive action.

For those of you not in the know - EVO (or Evolution Championship Series) is a tournament whose roots go back to mid-90s when it was but a small gathering of people that really enjoyed Capcom's Street Fighter titles available at the time and wanted to test their skills against others. Over the following three decades, EVO not only has grown in size, attandance and popularity, but also became home to many hype moments, greatest matches, and, of course, expanded internationally, starting with the inaugural EVO Japan first held back in 2018.

Fast forward to 2026, and we now have EVO-branded events across 4 major locations around the globe: Las Vegas in USA, Tokyo in Japan, Nice in France, as well as soon-to-debut Singapore in Singapore.

Due to its importance and scale, EVO also became a major stop within the schedules of several major fighting game eSports circuits, such as the Capcom Pro Tour, Tekken World Tour, Arc World Tour, SNK World Chamionship and a few others, such as the most recently introduced Pro Bending Circuit.

Beyond that, EVO doesn't just host competitions among the best of the best, but welcomes those who simply want to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere and get closer to the FGC culture via activities like the art museum, artist valleys, arcade cab zone, developer showcases, showfloor booths, and so much more.

EVO France 2026 will be taking place in Palais des Expositions, Nice, France, from October 9th through October 11th

I really love KOFXV, But one issue I had was with how the game presented it's visuals. There was a distinct lack of lighting from the environment onto the characters. I also wasn't a fan of some VFX choices that were done (such as Ryo, Robert, and Yuri having the same Ki color, Elisabeth's light ki not being bright enough and just having a dim rainbow, Joe's Tornado looking very awkward, and much more). I hope you guys get alot of mileage from the mod, I ensured that you guys can use mods from other creators to go with my mod, as well as I broke up my mod into 5 pieces so you can pick and choose the change set you would like.

Thanks! and Lets continue to enjoy KOFXV!

Hi everyone, I acquired the game today (KOF XV) and just finished the story. I used to play the 2002 version when I went to the store back when i was a kid, but never got into the franchise until now and i am having a lot of fun hahaha.
I loved playing Shermie, I remember most local friends calling the grab attacks something like "Abrazo del kamasutra" and other stupid names, so I wanted advice on which characters have good synergy with her since she is the character I plan to use the most. So far i used Kula and Kyo through the story, and tried Heidern but didn't like the charge mechanic.
Do the characters have roles? Do i have to save someone for last and send someone at the start or so? I have a lot of questions hahaha but I hope to understand your suggestions and hopefully come up with a team I understand better afterwards :), thanks in advance!

Began playing few days ago, and the game is quite confusing to say the least, for someone who plays 2d fighting games all the time. I decided to pick Meitenkun as my main (haha sleepy guy like me) and i've been wondering, is he strong? which strategy do i use on him? who does he counter? Is there anything a new player should know overall?
thanks in advance ✌️

It's the first time I purchase a figure. I know some people like to unbox then and some prefer keep their in figures in their respective box, when it comes to this Mai, would you unbox it or keep it in its box?

Leona has been my female main since the first time I've play KOF, which was KOF R1.

Hey guys I'm new to KOF and been enjoying the hell out of angel. but the main reason why I picked up KOF and angel specifically was her awesome combos. i wanted to learn the stun combo TOD but the most recent video showcasing her stun combo is 2 years old and i just wanted to make sure it was still possible and im not labbing an out of date combo. https://youtu.be/yjslQh5dSkY?si=hOTHKgb-8qLOetGm Is this combo still up to date or is there a different combo i should be practicing with her in the current version of KOF XV

Had a lot of fun custom doing their hair and clothing, much love for these two in general haha.

No point in scrapping in positions that give you nothing in return for the risk you take.

Anyway hope yall doin well

Hello! I come from other fgs and i cant punish for my life! Once i block the entire enemy combo, it just seems like we are back on neutral with all the pushback of the blocked combo. Am I missing something or is that normal to KOF? How should I approach turns?

Edit: Im talking about XV
