Top 10 EASIEST Characters for Beginners in KOF

Ойындар

Who is the best fighter to start with as a beginner in the King of Fighters series? These are the characters that I personally find them simple enough to use and are my main picks whenever a new KOF game is released. However, that doesn't mean that mastering them will be equally simple.

    For Terry Id argue his weakness is just opening people up. He’s got incredible pressure and is not a guy you want bullying you in the corner but he’s reliant on forcing openings rather than finding them as he lacks a command grab or an overhead outside jumping moves.

    Even if that was true (it's an exaggeration), that's ONE game in 14, and only counting major titles. A proper generalistic judgement has to consider the whole history of her character in the series. This is not a discussion about Kof Xiii, but Kof in general.

    Kula was the character that taught me how to do KoF combos. I picked up Kensou because I liked the sound he makes when he does a CD in 14, and I grew to like the character to the point where he became my main. Maxima became the third character I learned how to use, and I'm surprised that he's not part of the list. Very small moveset, easy BnB combos, a fun command grab, and supers that are easy to execute and are very effective. Sure he's hard to use in high-level play, but I think he's great for beginners to learn. I'm glad you mentioned Sylvie as well. Despite her looks, she is fun and easy to play, and her combos do mad damage. Her main weakness though is her poor range, so getting in is what makes things difficult for her.

But according to his tricky logic, that put Robert and Iori in the list, maybe she deserved to be in just for the sake of coherence. Shen could be omitted because he is too new and the list is meant to be generalistic. But anyways i agree on the point that he is among the easier ones in the games he appeared.

    Great video! Im also inclined to add the fact of how op Kim is in Both KoF 02 entries (OG and UM'), due to how his basic moves has barely few to no startup frames, with long active time. Pair that with the many options his specials give him and you have a High-to-god tier character. On the other hand, Andy entry on this list surprised me. Since Im more of an Old School KoF player, I always regarded him as a tricky character to play, mainly due to how one should know how to properly zone the oponents out while not having many safe on block options, added to the fact that his punishes/combos are very frame specific, especially when it comes to linking his desperate move (Chou reppa dan). However, since you emphasized his XIII onwards entries, I cant be the one to argue with that since I dont know much about those games competitive wise. ;)

    I definitely would have put Kensou at # 1or 2 at the lowest, because of that backwards 421 dp motion. Defensively it's the easiest non-charge dp in the game. You can buffer it quickly without having to move forward or come out of block, which makes it so much easier to defend blockstrings in a game that already has fast jumps and hop jumps. It combos easily into his super motions. AND, his fb is punch while his dp is kick. So you NEVER get accidental dp when going for fb.

    I consider Iori to be THE fighter designed to teach players "KoF". Not only is he easy to grasp for new players as you say, but he basically has all the tools to teach you rushdown, space control, command grabbing, that can be applied to other KoF archetypes once you decide to branch out.

This list is just about perfect really, Athena and Kula especially are simple but effective and can also be used strongly in nearly any KOF game, plus I just love them period. Also, I feel the 13 and 14 versions of Mai Shiranui are also incredibly easy to use, and this is coming from someone who struggled with her in older games when she used to have tons of special moves.
