This is definitely a good KOF game, its got some pretty cool things that we havent seen in any other game like, boss challenges, custom songs from past games for stages, has some pretty good mod support as well. They even brought back K9999 from copyright limbo, under a new name, Krohnen Mcdougall...
kof still stands as one of the few fighting game series that are actually made for the fanbase rather than appealing to outside audiences. make of that what you will—it of course makes the games markedly niche—but for those it appeals to, it feels second to none. probably my favourite thing about kof is its roster of characters that are each their own take on a versatile, refined shoto playstyle rather than half of the cast being primarily shallow, overpowering gimmicks (something sf is really struggling with lately).
the big 3 might include MK for some—but for people like me who are passionate about 2D fighting game design, KOF has to take its place. if only it managed to reach the popularity of others, because i really think KOF15 is a great competitive game that has maybe the least design frustrations of any modern fighting game. fun movement, offense and neutral; all with very few knowledge checks or unintuitive, overwhelming, or flowcharty mechanics.

The best released this year bar none. Haven't put that many hours into it since online play doesn't work very well on my platform of choice, but I sure wish I could. Gameplay is top notch, don't think I've played a KoF that feels smoother to play than this one. No real singleplayer content is a real shame, though.
I don't want to sound like the "noooo my high execution" guy but the part that i liked abt kof is the gratification of doing needlessly difficult stuff with max mode and i don't find the same feeling labbing combos.
Otherwise, no complaints, not rated yet bc i have still 10> hrs in the game and im still doodoo at kof

KOFXV is an amazing fighting game1 with an impeccable roster of unique fighters with badass super moves and Climax moves. The characters are vast and feature characters from the history of King of Fighters, as well as Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury. The models are high quality and very artistic in its style and design. The male characters look badass and muscular, while the females look badass, sexy, and cute. The story mode is a classic arcade style story, where you choose 3 members for a team (depending on which 3 are paired based on the roster is who's story you'll go through, with the most important being Isla and Shun'eis being the most important in terms of what happens. The game is a very japanese esk fighter but features a vast amount of diversity among the cast. The game is my second king of fighters and i have to say it was a very amazing and awesome experience. If you were a little unsure about this series of Fighting games, i absolutely recommend it. 😁❤️
Criminal that SNK doesn't know how to advertise, cause this is a really good KOF game. My opinion of this is kinda like my SF6 opinion but altered. It feels stiff at times (Idk a better word to describe it, but the interactions are anything but smooth). I wouldn't put anything above really good, but that's just me.
I love king of fighters i think the roster is really cool and fun and I rlly enjoy picking three characters for my ass kicking entrouge. I think this one is kinda weird with its reasoning for some of the characters being back but otherwise its the best looking a 3d kof has ever looked in my opinion
i wish street fighter 4 looked like this lol
ALSO B JENET IS BACK!! cant wait for snk to vault her again for another decade but.. atleast shes here! my favorite character purely bc i think her kit is so fun and something abt a pirate lady is intriguing to me.
Id probably either like or dislike this game a lot more if i was aware of more than like 12% of the overarching plot in king of fighters
final thoughts: beating motherfuckers with your high heels will never not be gnarly
