Andy's EX fireball is a lot of fun too, since it's pretty big and slower than his dash. It reminds me of how SFV Laura can use her janky electric arc to cover her approach.

Yeah! I'm actually having a difficult time finding good setups for it so far though, at least from his combos that I've been using. It was easy to setup in XIV you just had to sacrifice damage to do it because of how max mode worked. I think Andy being slower and the screen size being smaller make this a bit worse, but I'm still messing around with it, it's just hard to force them to take the mixup.

Terry is already ginormous in the game, haven't you seen his muscles?

But you can always buy 3 copies of the game and play on party mode, that one let's you repeat characters iirc.

Just loving ONCE I would love to have a working modern KoF on PC that I can play online without issue. This is the most irritating loving thing.

If only there were some way to test this poo poo for issues before release! That would be great! But no, no such thing exists on PC, you just have to suffer and eat poo poo.

How is the PC port? Is it worth getting over the PS4 / PS5 version?

havent tested the netcode yet but everything else about the port seems fine?

there were some netcode issues on console too but it seemed to be with crossplay between the ps4/ps5 versions.

Other than having to fiddle with Steam to get my PS3 fightstick to work, I haven't had had any technical issues with the PC port, and the netcode seems like an improvement on KOF 14 from the one match I've played so far.

The game is still a lot of fun don't get me wrong, I'm just really salty that there are so many PC port issues after they neglected to do a PC beta again.

I can't connect to anybody online in ranked or casual, it just pops up with "An error has occurred" every time, unless for some reason it's a 1-bar connection then it works fine (but is obviously unplayable)

Room matches I can KIND OF play sometimes, but not always, and if I try to search for a room all I get are 300ms ping matches, and there's no way to tell what the connection will be like until you sit through the loading screen for the room. It's insanely frustrating

I've done the usual troubleshooting and looked online for answers but there are none to be found. I'm just fed up with getting poo poo on as a PC player.

Edit to add things so it doesn't just sound like a connection issue: Vsync is hosed up for a lot of people, the game straight up won't launch for a few that I've talked to despite demolishing the recommended specs, the game has weird slowdown the first time you do any specific super (but seems to not do it after the super has been done once, even after restart? Fuckin weird), the anti aliasing on PC is all sorts of hosed up so characters like Liz have sawtooth hair, there are basically no graphic settings beyond resolution and turning off features, you can't turn off controller vibration, you need outside help to remap some keys on the keyboard.

I'm sure there are more but that's what I've seen in my usual discord hangouts.

I don't think the ray tracing is really going to help KOF15 not look like rear end.

The game also works for me. I played some non-ranked online matches last night too which worked with no connection issues. I think the most confusing part about the PC port is there is no native 1440p output.

Robert has a corner "infinite" (in quotes cause he can only do it until he runs out of meter) and it's extremely easy to do. So naturally he's on my team now. Wonder how long they'll let it rock.

Probably forever? Touch of death combos are not uncommon in kof so like, being able to keep pumping meter into someone is basically that's kof baby!

I believe there was a preview of an upcoming patch from SNK that had some bug fixes/slight balance changes and included was that they were increasing the recovery of his L1 Ranbu super so that you can't do the dragon punch follow up to get the loop.

Probably won't help if the problem is speed, but if it's a matter of timing you can hold the button after the qcb+hcf for a while to get more generous window.

One thing I can say about the PC version is that it seems to have better load times for matches than the console ones. It was concerning to me just how long the load times seemed on PS4/PS5 on the streams I watched the past two days, even on rematch.

Preliminary thoughts playing just a few characters against CPU and as someone who sucks at fighting games:

Yashiro is extremely beginner friendly even for an idiot like me. Basically qcb kick to close distance and qcb punch for damage. Get into the corner and mash. Some characters are very subtle but this guy don't seem like it.

Krohnen also isn't too bad because his normals are pretty good. I couldnt really get much out of his specials but the level 2 super is a projectile with multihits and his level 3 takes up the whole screen.

Shermie is my favorite so far but is way more complex than the other two.

I don't think so, I'm not aware of any input parser tricks for that. I'm not a kof expert though by any means

Unlike dp+hcb being read as qcf+hcb for sorry l super purposes and stuff

So I'm not sure because I'm bad at KOF but I saw a rooflemonger video talking about doing dp, hcb qcf as a combo and I'd imagine it might still apply? Try like, qcb, hcf punch, qcf whatever. It's like, as long as you hit all the points in the input parser it'll count it or something but I think you can start with the back motion, do a different move, then finish the forward into super.

You can't use the super input for the first qcf but there are alternative inputs you can do for the qcb+hcf that might be more comfortable:

qcb,qcb+f or qcb+qcf (drop the downback input)

There isn't afaik but you can do the qcb hcf as qcb qcf if that makes it easier for you.
