KOFXV has many game modes that bring variety and fun, one of them is the DRAFT mode. This tournament uses that format.  The first player will choose one character, the second player then chooses two.  Then the first player chooses their next character and then the second player picks their last character, then player one can pick their last.  It makes for fun viewing as the players try to counter pick each other, as only one player can take the strongest character, yes, that’s right, there are no mirrors, each character can only be picked ONCE.  There can only be one Krohnen per match!!!

Match Format is FT2.  Brackets will be shuffled live on stream, then simply the player at the top of each bracket will takes first place.  Matches will be fixed FT2. Players may change characters after a loss but winner stays in lobby position.  Final stages are FT2 and if time is running late, TO can rule sudden death.

This is a PC online tournament over the EMEA region.  The PS4 tournament for EU was in April!.

6. Orochi-X

 

He says he’s a “casual player trying his luck

7. Khatefx

“Veteran of kof-
One of the best players in morocco,
My speciality : female charaters-
I’m a loyal Shermie and Athena main since forever!
I also play other characters like :

Orochi Shermie, Mai, King , Athena

and Elizabeth in case someone took my princess”

Well I guess he knows what he’s doing!!

This will be a harder player to counter pick,

as he will have no shortage of waifus!

brackets title graphic

Here’s the direct link to the brackets if the embed does not display.

The brackets are shuffled live and may be adjusted if certain countrymen or team members have to face off immediately. Due to the nature of Draft Mode, the top slot of each bracket is assigned to player 1. That means this player goes into the left slot (player 1 side) of the lobby room and gains first choice in the draft mode.


Remember the brackets will be adjusted just before starting the tournament.  Contact the TO through the stream chat, steam players have a special group for communication, so please add the TO through steam.

Thanks to SNK, all the players, and YOU.

 3.

Akatsuki.Fathi

Another legend in the community will enter!

Fathi was one of the players strong enough to face Misterio at the finals, usually armed with King and Billy Kane!

It will great to see what he can do in KOFXV!

 4.

Zhen Chen

He said:
“I’m a big fan of kof, a very classic Asian style of game.”
and I’m not sure if he’s trying to be inflammatory

or if DeepL had some translation issues,

either way he’s registered for the Mix Up in Lyon,

so he’s itching for a good warm up.

But will tonight be too hot?

 5.

Twif

“Street Fighter 2x player from the caribbean.

You might have not noticed it,

Kimtastic v2

Updated with video of Xiaohai and Leshar using Kim and a couple of strat tips plus more events! I think this page will most probably contain everything you need to know about Kim Kaphwan, apart from the fact his first name is Kaphwan.

  • Foreward
  • Frame Data
  • Videos and clips
  • Events News

Here’s the roundup for Kim, and as feared, he looks absolutely killer.  Even SNK released a video to guide you through how to wreck your opponent: it’s all about their reaction time, can they block  the mixups, the followups, the 4F hangetsuzan and then a crossup?  I can’t see how this character will be as much fun versus the CPU, so it’s likely that there will be a surge of activity, so don’t spend too long in the shed, get out there and fight!

SNK has also released some bug fixes to adjust some missing hitboxes and inconsistent invulnerabilities which might explain some things.

Official Video Guide

v2 Update: Want to watch the pros? Ok here’s Xiaohai vs Leshar

Tweets

Please message me on twitter for removal, I apologise for not asking first.

Update: When your character can take more than 50% with one combo, you’re good.

Updated : So the next thing is to find the best combo from crouching B, of course… you can find some here!

Update Strategy against mashers

Update: Crouching C setup

41% for 1 bar?!!

In the end, you’re going to get hit by this one the most

https://twitter.com/BBBQ51/status/1643186949157683200

How about 1 bar for 576?

2 bars for 569 damage, ok!

Update: some nice photos of Haruna and Sarah!

https://twitter.com/iwamotobusta/status/1643264170241171457

Combos are fine, but how about converting an anti-air into big damage? Ok gotchu

How to punish…

More mixups? No, not enough, surely

And he has loads of safe jumps, for example

The dude is just invincible, don’t believe me? OK check it

This will probably be the most used combo

Update: Will you choose a longer combo or a hard knockdown for setups? Ah

And there’s more to come, crossplay, Goenitz and Sylvie are next! Can’t wait!

Multiple champion: Crossover, Brussels Challenge

and 5th at SNK Regionals! Watch out for his Kyo!

Zouni was disqualified

 3

4. MotionMan

Another veteran of the scene, we played KOF13 till the early hours!

He skipped XIV entirely, now he’s active for KOF15!

Hailing from the Czech Republic,

he’s been playing online tournaments on a weekly basis and won one of the Orochi tournaments recently!

Otherwise, regularly placing top 8 in online tournaments, will be one to watch!

 4

5. Boroshin

Who? Should need no introduction really!

The UK Maxima specialist and regular streamer, Boroshin is

usually rocking with Gato and Yamazaki but you never know if there’s a pocket counter pick!

 5

6. XFrame

5th place at SNK Regional Finals!

SaltyEU & Eurobeatdown champion, he might drop a new album, but he won’t drop a combo!

 

 6

7. Rayzo

The Kukri specialist, should be good fun

to see what happens if someone steals

the Morrocan prince! Yes, he made that

costume himself and even made Antonov’s belt!

 7

8. KOFmadness

This player has been giving everyone many

headaches with a solid, solid Clark, but then dropped

all that mid tier nonsense and went straight in

with Yashiro, Gato and Rock. He’s not playing!

 8

9. Vics

Top 3 Tournament Finalist at Stunfest and others!

Leona, Luong and now Angel specialist,

but maybe has some other tricks up his sleeve!!

 9

10. Wolfman

Another veteran of the FGC,

3rd place at SNK Regionals!

Nuff said!

 10

11. WivGar

Recently top 8 2CBU finalist,

WivGar continues to improve.

Actually starting FGs with Drabon ball fighterZ,

KOFXV is their first KOF title,

only recently taking it seriously.

It is always interesting to watch the progress of new blood in the scene!

 

 

 11

12. Nissouma

Out of nowhere went straight to

2nd place at SNK Regional Finals!

Very very strong with K’ and Chizuru

but will he keep Krohnen?

 12

13. LordTenrai

ICFC Champion. 2BCU Champion.

3rd at Stunfest 2022

7th place at SNK Regionals

The long distance connection will

probably be his only obstacle!

 13

14. ROV| Monoborracho

The streamer is getting stronger and stronger!

Originally a Tekken player, he started playing KOF13 during the pandemic, and started to compete in KOFXV.

This year he has reached Top 4 and 5 at 2BCU online tournaments and top 8 in Claim the Crown!

The interest in the game inspired him to launch the KOF XV Spanish league to grow the community and improve the level of the players, so a huge thanks to him!

He would also like you to know his favourite character is Leona!

 14

15. Megaman Azeddine

A champion of KOF2002UM , KOFXV & 98FE!

Watch out for the superfast reflexes

even online!

 15

16. Crazeh247

Is it “crazy two forty seven” or “twenty four seven”

or “two hundred four seven”, ah that’s the question.

Armed with multiple fighters and dedication,

his only weakness will be teleporting rollback!
