Was jumping way too much tho. Feel like she’d get anti air’d usually against someone with more experience. Btw not a kof player so idk if this is normal
"how do you know this game so well" You see this is something that has creeped on the KOF community for years. It remains stagnant or grows little because of the high skill cap and when new people try it they get absolutely destroyed by people who been playing since the 90s or early 2000s. Then this folks go and gloat how they destroyed "noobs" online to then say why no one is playing in a couple of months after a new game. At least in Latin America that's how it works. KOF is one of the few fighting franchises that feels weird jumping week 1 as a newcomer because the new people to veteran ratio is very disproportionate.
True, but I don't know man, I've seen that kind of "playing" in other games. They were playing exactly like a computer would play, instant perfect answers to opponents movements and stuff... Just saying. Seemed kinda fishy.
Git Gud, Dood. Any fighting franchise has veteran fans. The problem is not with them, but with new players understanding the mechanics and dedicating themselves to improving. And that's why ranked exists, you fight with your game level. The community offers players new tutorials on all mechanics, from beginner to advanced mechanics, frame data, combos, positioning, character tips or weaknesses, etc. KOF 14 and KOF15 are new games, so there are no "veterans" to worry about, after all, even veterans are training.But it's obvious that the franchise is loved and, like me, the game has been played for over 20 years. So the only difference between a veteran and a novice in KOF XV is just a sense of game and positioning, as the gameplay moves flirt with old ones but the gameplay style is totally different. It's like complaining that a Street Fighter 2 Veteran beat you in Street Fight 5 because being a Veteran, he knows how to use Hadouken.
@@albertovinicio123 "get good" is not advice it's the comment that shuns people away. It's why fighting games struggle. They don't capture new audiences as they once did. The games themselves do very little to teach new players how systems or basics work because of mediocre or so so tutorials like GG Strive. You have the move list and KOF15 button prompts can be very confusing for new people or just casuals in general. The way advice is given by most veterans as you put it is mostly irrelevant and tends to drown new people in info so they go away. Frame data, UA-cam videos, one should not require that to play at a basic level and have fun with it and improve. It's why aot of people bow out because they seem to think of it as a chore because it's outside the game itself or think of training mode the wrong way as a time sink rather than a problem solver. And yes someone who knows how to fireball is already at an advantage over someone new. It might seem silly but it is. And ranking means little when you have the majority of the player base in high mid or top ranks playing and barely anyone left on ranks below 10 in a couple of weeks, unless they are smurfs and the occasional new person. Games and this franchise in particular need to learn to be more appealing to newcomers without drowning them in information and retaining player expression for veterans. It's worrying we ain't seeing no fuzz about fighting games besides NRS stuff and that's mostly because of IP alone.
@@Plasmacat1 Your argument is the world's silliest excuse. Kof, like any fighting game, is a competitive game that requires technique and training from the player if he wants to have good fights. It's like complaining about League of Legends veterans because you're a rookie and get killed multiple times in the game. So instead of trying to understand the game, immersing yourself, learning how the mechanics work, how the characters behave, how to use builds and the meta, it's easier to complain about improving. Your complaint is not valid simply because it doesn't make sense for a game like KOF to change so much that an old player in the franchise doesn't recognize the moves just because of new players. As I said, the community already offers tutorials, combos and game notions to help the newbie improve. Not only that, but you will also find people to train together, the community is always very united. In the end, either you get good, or you drop the game. That's how it is. Or is it just you playing vs A.I. in story mode, then there won't be anyone getting in your way. But you probably expect the A.I. just look at you and let it hit, after all, you are a beginner.
The trick against Vanessa is to throw some random sweeps here and there to deals with her sliding forward motions, works like a charm when you get the timing, Vanessa mains change to defensive big time.
GG's Maximillian, thanks for considering putting our fight on your compilation (I'm the Mai player). From my point of view I was a bit "nervous", because people in my chat (about 5 viewers), told me that I was playing against you (with 14k viewers) haha. Sorry if this reads as spam, that not my intention.
you were amazing I can't remember the last time I saw a mai player that good I'm going to have to follow you cause I really wanted to see you play the other members of your team but either max didn't show it or wasn't good enough to get to them
@@TheCreepypro Thanks for the comment bro, to be honest I think only Mai is my good character, I still haven't found two others to form my team and have them better dominated like her. And anyway there are many fights where I leave Mai last, and I can't do anything to save the fight haha.
@@vertex300 I think you should always have her in the front to scare people then even if they manage to beat you then they have to wonder if your other characters are just as good even if they aren't
If you like kof music, there are arranged soundtrack from the old games on UA-cam that are great, Arashi no saxophone 97' ver, ne 94', terry 115 2000', saxophone under the moon, psycho soldier 94' and so many more are fantastic
I've noticed the damage is ridiculous in this game, at least for KOF standards, and it appears that its becoming a trend. The latest Sam Sho has it, but Sam Sho always had that, but then Guilty Gear Strive started showing off Potemkin taking away 80% from a Pot Buster along with other characters eating your life bar, and that was before it released. Now KOF has these supers practically tapping out the current opponent of the opposite team. I have a feeling that future fighting games are going this route.
It's just a comeback mechanic... Even if you're losing big you can string together very easy to do supers and take away 90% of your opponents health... Super lame
I think a feature that they would add to these new fighting games that would really enhance the gameplay is to add a special button on the controllers that is marked with a skull and when it is pressed it automatically kills the opponent. Then there can be a ranking system which ranks people who how fast they can push it and how many times they use it in a match.
Max, Vanessa's move where she does that uppercut is safe but if you fireball or do any attack with decent range you'll probably beat it. It's also a charge move so if they're backing up or crouching for no reason, chances are they're charging for that move. Not many people use it, but when she uses her dash she can do a similar move that's slower on startup but catches people if they aren't ready for it. It's often used when they use their dash move to back up because then you can jump back forward with it. But I believe that one is unsafe. And since she doesn't have a fire ball or anything, you can typically just wait for her to make a mistake if you're ready for the charge move.
I curse the day that they decide to add a punch in the floor to Ralph,that move is so damn shitty,also they took off the dive kick on Benimaru and let him have that silly move from 2003.Still,the game is good.
yo idk how max avoids tilt sometimes. I'm just amazed at how calm, brotha man, is when those fights happen. The fuckin Mai would've made me 720 my TV into an OTG out the window LMAAOO
ta top esse kof, eu que nao gostava desse estilo virtual, gostava mais do antigo, ja estou me acostumando, parabens pela empresa que ta mexendo nesse jogo
We know Kyo Kusanagi is the poster boy of the KOF Series, but there is no doubt that Terry Bougard is the true King of Fighters. 4:41 Now say it with me "BUSTER WOLF, BUSTER GEYSER." Max: "Let's go Terry, get that damage." Terry: "Ok."
I'm surprised max didn't tried k9999 yet, I mean he's top tier and extremely fun and deals insane damage, what's more surprising is that he didn't encounter any krohnen player yet
I love how when Max plays he gets some dudes who barely do normals and occasional special and when I play I get matched with some combomad Lations who perfect me within 8 seconds of the match
The thing about whenever the player wake up from the fall, they will have this i frame for a moment, so the player will 3 things, either the reversal attack move or do a throw or just roll away.
I definitely recommend it! I got into KOF after trying out Terry in Smash and it’s been really fun! I’m still not good with how kof works since I’m used to Tekken’s mechanics but it’s such a neat experience to learn the characters moves ^^
.......hey, I only ever played kof casually but wanted to take it a bit more seriously. So far I've been interested in using a team of Mai, K', and Iori. I'm also interested in Vanessa and Leona as well. I was wondering, what places on the team formation do any kof vets (if here) works best with each character. Normally this isn't something I pay attention to, but I was curious on what people think. At the moment I have Mai first, then K', and then iori
I’ve noticed Max almost never uses that new stagger counter mechanic (you throw an attack and your opponent gets staggered or launched into a wall bounce). Is it not useful or something? 🤔
It seems to mostly be a "newbie-friendly" mechanic for easier combos bc most combos that use it are not optimal damage. We'll see if that stays true farther into the game's life tho
Max isn't used to the new Shatterstrike mechanic. Its got armour so its a good way to callout buttons in neutral/jump ins and can lead into some decent conversions when normally you wouldn't get one.
@@gliath888 I think max isn't using the shatter strike because he is going for big long meter combos and well shatter strike uses a whole meter or half which is still wasting meter. But it's a good Mechanic but isn't really max play style from what it seems
@@shepherd9312 At 5 meter, you can convert into a quick max mode lvl 2-3 combo from a shatter strike confirm. 4 meter is the typical meter dump with max mode. shatterstrike helps land the hit to get a full 5 meter combo. That is one of the uses that i can see to utilize all 5 meters.
There seems to be an input buffer bug that makes it so that double button presses such as EX moves or CD need to be frame perfect. You probably need to bind a macro until SNK patches the bug.
I find it easier to combo but you have to know the tricks of it, how it actually works under the hood. Rooflemonger put up a good video on the topic you should check out.
I only did the beta, but I had a lot of problems with combos and special moves. I don't have any issues with SF, and KOF felt like combos required you to be tighter.
@@phabiorules If you learn the button holding trick and buffer windows you will be fine, like a comment above said Rooflemonger made a good video about that stuff.
combos are less of a problem of spacing and the flow of KOFs, incomplete guide to KOF can set you in the right direction if your aquainted with fighters already
I don't even know how to play this game, and watching your game play, help me get an idea. I am having a good time playing Vanessa and blue Mary in training, still trying to figure out 3rd character. PS I am a mortal kombat player. I am new to this and totally loving the experience.
Who here plays on controller? How's your experience with online matches? I got this game on PS5 and I'm using a base PS5 controller. I haven't played online yet cause I'm still learning the basics and practicing the inputs. This is also my first KOF.
@@jesusmejia3417 I've heard that too. Hopefully they fix it soon. I don't think the input delay is substantial enough to effect the majority of players though. Thanks!
To answer one of Max's questions; I don't think its that that one player was extremely good (not to say they weren't good), but I just think Mai is that good in this game. So far, I've been seeing Mai carry entire teams singlehandedly regardless of the one using them. She's easily top 5
I can see why people are already so good at this game, the gameplay and moves remind me of KOF 2002 a lot (i mean the original not the BS 2002 UM). So that's good start.
I hate the sandals design on vannesa it use to look way cooler just with shoes i feel like the sandas just breaks that mafia girl style into something random.
I wonder how long did Max spend in training mode, because if it's Day 1, it looks like these opponents have been battling online since the first second.
Can someone explain me what does terry says when he does the "buster launcher"? Because sometime i hear "buster launcher" and then i hear "buster eruption" ._.
I know that Terry is unique but i always wondered why terry's flames were always just blazes and didnt leave any flame residue like mai, ralfs or any flame for that matter. A bit confusing if u ask me
I hope they fix Joe's hurricanes which look like ps1 models. All the ugly sparks and energy effects were completely fixed by release and look great now, everything is great... except the hurricanes.
That Mai player uses a lot of short jump attacks that turns into combos. Its difficult to deal with it if you are not used to it. Thats how i and many others play kof back in the day at the arcade. Good times. 😋
Speaking of your guard cancel cd not coming out, does anyone know why Shatter Strike will just be ignored? Like sometimes it will armor through multiple hits and sometimes it just gets beat the fuck out
I'm so glad kof 15 is getting a lot of love. I really hope more people get into the kof series.
I know I’ll be getting into it soon!

And he was using Mai first, when the optimal for her is usually last. That means his other picks might be even scarier.
Mai mains have a weird duality of either just simping for her only to never play her
then you have the people who will brutally beat your ass with her
She is indeed a handful…
There's also the fact that she's just really good in XV so far

@@gliath888 I think max isn't using the shatter strike because he is going for big long meter combos and well shatter strike uses a whole meter or half which is still wasting meter. But it's a good Mechanic but isn't really max play style from what it seems
@@shepherd9312 At 5 meter, you can convert into a quick max mode lvl 2-3 combo from a shatter strike confirm. 4 meter is the typical meter dump with max mode. shatterstrike helps land the hit to get a full 5 meter combo. That is one of the uses that i can see to utilize all 5 meters.
That Mai is scary goddamn
Vanessa might be one of the coolest characters in the game.
There seems to be an input buffer bug that makes it so that double button presses such as EX moves or CD need to be frame perfect. You probably need to bind a macro until SNK patches the bug.
I jumped into it this morning got my King missions out the way since she's been my main forever. Shermie is next
King mains rise up
This game seems way more intetesting than SF5
Those jiggle physics on Mai give vertex_peach even more of an advantage, despite already being a very solid player.
Love this game !
The theme that starts playing when Iori comes out is pretty dope. What is it?
Goodbye Esaka
Iori vs Kyo is Goodbye Esaka, Kyo vs Iori is Sadistic Eyes
Also, every character can grab on wakeup at frame 1 by just tapping forward and holding punch or kick for up to like 30 frames before wakeup. 👍
Being new to KoF, I picked Terry because I used him alot in Smash. Such an awesome character
As someone that is pretty good at the capcom vs games but finds the combos in street fighter damn near impossible, how would I get on with this?
I find it easier to combo but you have to know the tricks of it, how it actually works under the hood. Rooflemonger put up a good video on the topic you should check out.
@@ZYR47 thanks going to have a look now.
I only did the beta, but I had a lot of problems with combos and special moves. I don't have any issues with SF, and KOF felt like combos required you to be tighter.
@@phabiorules If you learn the button holding trick and buffer windows you will be fine, like a comment above said Rooflemonger made a good video about that stuff.
combos are less of a problem of spacing and the flow of KOFs, incomplete guide to KOF can set you in the right direction if your aquainted with fighters already
I don't even know how to play this game, and watching your game play, help me get an idea. I am having a good time playing Vanessa and blue Mary in training, still trying to figure out 3rd character.
PS I am a mortal kombat player. I am new to this and totally loving the experience.
Man, this game is fun to watch
Are you OK?
BUSTA WOLF
POWER GYESAA
Did Terry just do a Shinryuken MvC style lmao
I didn't understand, what do you mean?
Upside down Shinryuken. Known as the Rising Tackle. He’s had it since the 90’s
Exelent performance,epic fights...
That Vanessa in the first match was insane
I like max's team
26:30 for winning pose lined-up perfectly deer antlers
Terry is my favorite character he makes me think of Zero from MegamanX
Who here plays on controller? How's your experience with online matches? I got this game on PS5 and I'm using a base PS5 controller. I haven't played online yet cause I'm still learning the basics and practicing the inputs. This is also my first KOF.
PS5 I think has the biggest input lag of all platforms. But worry not, that only would affect like the top 50 players in the world.
Enjoy the game!
@@jesusmejia3417 I've heard that too. Hopefully they fix it soon. I don't think the input delay is substantial enough to effect the majority of players though. Thanks!
Can’t wait for a rate the super on this game
I don't know how max will rate it because some of them have the same climax as 14
@@asahi5912 it’s up to him if he uploads it
To answer one of Max's questions; I don't think its that that one player was extremely good (not to say they weren't good), but I just think Mai is that good in this game. So far, I've been seeing Mai carry entire teams singlehandedly regardless of the one using them. She's easily top 5
I mean with arms that huge of course he does a fuck ton of damage
8:50 i just notice that they change the sign in the background
Wassup Max? Good matches bro! :)
I can see why people are already so good at this game, the gameplay and moves remind me of KOF 2002 a lot (i mean the original not the BS 2002 UM). So that's good start.
That fkn Mai dear lord, that man became one with the jiggle physics and learned all her combos
I hate the sandals design on vannesa it use to look way cooler just with shoes i feel like the sandas just breaks that mafia girl style into something random.
That Mai was amazing :o
"Oh Mai God"
I wonder how long did Max spend in training mode, because if it's Day 1, it looks like these opponents have been battling online since the first second.
Kof has a lot of legacy skill involved. Combos from KOF13 and earlier still work with some chars
@@vangoghsseveredear Yeah, didn't the first guy last episode had like 90 battles?
@@DelphinSquared 95 wins and 124 losses, so over 200 battles.
@@JeffHikari If this is a Day 1 result I can hardly believe it.
This is such a beautiful looking game and who knew you could make attractive sprites who's hands and feet are not twice as big as their heads
Can someone explain me what does terry says when he does the "buster launcher"?
Because sometime i hear "buster launcher" and then i hear "buster eruption" ._.
I believe he is saying Stardust Ignition
Buster Lawn Chair!
Buster Launcher and Buster Ejector I believe
That Mai player was no joke! I shudder to think if their Robert on the 3rd slot was actually their anchor character.
Awesome comes out in a couple of days.
You need to put someone with range on the team. That Mai combo to take out Kyo was nasty.
I know that Terry is unique but i always wondered why terry's flames were always just blazes and didnt leave any flame residue like mai, ralfs or any flame for that matter. A bit confusing if u ask me
I hope they fix Joe's hurricanes which look like ps1 models. All the ugly sparks and energy effects were completely fixed by release and look great now, everything is great... except the hurricanes.
That Mai is scary af 😂
Maybe I should come back after a long break in kof.. looks fun again..
Can't they make dlc storylines for KOFXV , hope so ... I'm disappointed in the bosses didn't give that big of a challenge...
I don’t think I’ve ever seen (or simply noticed) Max making so many faces lol.
Hey Max you should do Team Hero’s story ending. It’s really insane LOL.
That Mai player uses a lot of short jump attacks that turns into combos. Its difficult to deal with it if you are not used to it. Thats how i and many others play kof back in the day at the arcade. Good times. 😋
This elisabeth color is so dope.. I am a huge fan
26:30 Isla with horns and cat ears
Lovin the gameplay
Is it me or lvl 3 stops the music?... Noticed it on terrys lvl 3
Speaking of your guard cancel cd not coming out, does anyone know why Shatter Strike will just be ignored? Like sometimes it will armor through multiple hits and sometimes it just gets beat the fuck out
The combo at 32:01 was ACTUALLY disgusting
I still am trying out the characters and sadly I have to go on vacation for a week. So... sucks.
