The King of Fighters XV

OverviewStrategyDataCombosReplays

One of the cybernetically modified humans created by the secret syndicate known as NESTS. Her fighting style is something she calls "Perfunctory♥", which is an unorthodox fighting style that makes use of an 'unchain' system that involves multiple throw techniques.
All this means she has unparalleled strength when up close. She loves to joke around, and her personality isn’t something one can pin down. Leaving her life in Mexico behind, she joins Krohnen and enters KOF.

Gameplay Summary

Ángel is a very, very strange and complex character in comparison to the rest of the cast, in part due to some unorthodox normals and mostly due to her Unchain system. Ángel's Unchain system allows her to cancel a set of special moves into another set of special moves into another set of special moves to confuse and mix up the opponent. She has multiple different lows, overheads, and command grabs and ways to set them up. However, actually pulling off these commands is a different story. Ángel's inputs aren't necessarily hard, rather they're very unusual, akin to Mortal Kombat or Tekken inputs. She is a different beast compared to everyone else in the game, but can be very rewarding for those who put in the time and effort to master her. Outside of her complexity, Angel is a powerful brawler who excels at close range. Her Unchain System allows her lots of variety in her approach, punish, and pressure games, and getting put in the corner against her is a death sentence. Angel's biggest weakness outside of her complexity is her neutral- as a brawler, Angel will have to force her way in against her opponents. Her pokes are terrible and her approach is very committal, making it easy to push her back. If they can successfully keep her out then it can be hard to run her game properly. Angel functions best on point, where her high damage potential and good meter build allow her to vortex the enemy team to death.

Ángel is a rushdown character that excels in pressuring her opponent with the Unchained (UC) System.
Pros Cons
  • Unchained System: Angel's gameplan is centered around her "Unchained System", which comprises her specials. Angel has three sets of specials: Unchain Starts, which begin the chain, Unchain Circle, which continue the chain, and Unchain Finish, which end the chain. Each one of these categories has at least six different variations, allowing Angel unprecedented approach, pressure, and combo opportunities.
  • Flexibility: Angel has a huge number of tools to help her out in battle. Several Unchain Starts help her contest neutral or defend against her opponents approach, which lets her adapt to her opponents gameplan easily.
  • Massive Damage: Outstanding meterless damage. Achieving upwards of 40% damage without burning meter is not out of the question.
  • Terrifying Mixups: Angel's left/right game is absurd with her j.C, which crosses up incredibly well. Her high damage allows her to two-touch most characters and vortex them back into the mixup all over again. She has everything a pressure character could want, including command grabs, frame traps, and even an honest-to-god unblockable for catching the hardest of turtles.
  • Complex: It cannot be understated, but Angel is really hard to learn past a beginner level. While specific Unchain series can be easily learned to help get started, Angel players will have to put time and effort into learning what each one of her chains can do and how best to use them in certain situations. This is on top of the execution required to remember over 20 individual specials and Unchain series moves and when to use them. While Angel can be very rewarding to learn, this is balanced out by being very hard to learn as well.
  • Awkward Neutral: Angel's neutral can be very awkward, with normals that range anywhere from unspectacularly bad or situational to decent at best. Whiff punishing can be difficult, and even trying to punish on block can be difficult due to her close heavies having very short range and the subpar nature of her far normals. It’s not all bad, but if Ángel is not given the sufficient space and time to utilize her Unchain in neutral, her normals will make for an uncomfortable time on defense.
  • Issues with consistency: Ángel has an uncanny ability to make rounds go really, really bad for your opponent, but there will be times where you may find it difficult to truly get Ángel’s offense started and you are forced to spend the next round trying to make a comeback. Even her defense is serviceable (don’t forget, she has a 1F counter super that beats safejumps) for the most part, but that runs into issues with consistency too. You may press B to stop a hop with far B, only to find that close B (absolutely not an anti-hop) comes out instead and you eat a combo. You may get out of the corner by command dashing through your opponent, or you just get counterhit out of the dash and eat a full combo. At least her meter gain is consistently high for your troubles.

Basic Combo Starters

2B 2A 46B

  • Only way to launch the opponent after this is with uc.6A(1)~66A. Must be right next to opponent for this to work.
  • Followups are limited without meter or corner.

2B c.B 46D

  • 46D keeps the opponent closer after launch, allowing more followups using 46D again to juggle.
  • 46D does not combo from 2A.
  • Works from further away compared to 2B 2A 46B.

2B c.B 214A

  • Launches opponent, easiest to combo into uc.2B.

c.D 6B 46D

  • Longest hit confirm off a jump-in.
  • Launch opponent with uc.6A~66A.

c.D 6B 214A

  • Highest damage combo off a jump-in.
  • Follow up with uc.2B.

Unchain Overview

Overview Unchain can be thought of as a complex rekka series.

  1. Use a Starter move. Once this move has been used, it can be canceled into an unchain circle more regardless of whether the move hits the opponent or not.
  2. You may cancel into any Unchain Circle (UC) move. On this wiki, Unchain Circle moves are notated as uc.8B, uc.6A, etc.
  3. Optionally, you may cancel UC moves into other UC moves,
    1. You must alternate between punches and kicks.
    2. You cannot repeat directional inputs between consecutive moves.
    3. You cannot use the same move twice within one unchain sequence.
    4. If the Starter was a 41236B/D/B+D that was canceled into off an UC move, you cannot cancel UC moves into each other.
  4. Optionally, cancel into the Unchain Special Move, a dodge (4/5/6A+B).
  5. Use an unchain ender. These are not cancelable into anything, however uc.66A/C can be comboed after.

Starters

  • 214A/C
    • Launches on hit.
    • Can be canceled into unchain circle moves before the hit.
    • C version has no pushback
    • EX (A+C) version is not an unchain starter.
  • 46B/D
    • 46B has more pushback, making certain combos drop.
    • 46D cannot be comboed into from 2A, however can combo from c.B.
  • 41236B/D/B+D
    • Can cancel into unchain circle moves after a minimum distance has been traveled.
    • Automatically passed through opponent when you run into them. Upon appearing behind them, can cancel into unchain circle moves.
  • 3B
    • Hits low.
    • Travels forwards slightly.
  • 3D
    • Hits overhead.
    • Causes hard knockdown when you hit an airborne opponent.

Unchain Circle

Enders

  • 41236B/D/B+D
    • If used as an ender, you may cancel into an UC move, however this UC move cannot be canceled into other UC moves.
  • 66A
    • Launches, but has poor range. Hard to connect in many confirms.
  • 66C
    • Unblockable.
    • Doesn't combo off anything on standing opponents.
    • Can be juggled into.
  • 66B/D
    • Overhead that causes hard knockdown.
  • 236A
    • Delayed command grab that travels forwards.
    • Impossible to combo into but can be used for mixups.
  • 236C
    • 1 frame command grab.
    • Go to ender for unchain series' that cannot launch the opponent.
    • Poor advantage upon landing this move, sends you full screen with no possible followups.

Strategy

Anti-airing

  • Best anti-airs: j.A, f.D, f.B
  • Angel's anti-airs are generally speaking weak. Your best bet is to try to intercept their jump-in with your own rising j.A. This requires acting somewhat preemptively, and hitting them before their jump attack becomes active.

Movement

  • Angel's backdash can be canceled into j.2D. To do this, simply backdash with 454, then slide to 1D before you hit the ground. This allows you to backdash slightly faster, and the j.2D has a chance to hit the opponent, especially if you're cornered.
  • Unchain can be used for movement. Tricky to use and not required for starting the character.
    • 41236K unchain dash can be used to approach off canceled attacks, such as canceling 5C+D
    • 41236K is good to quickly cross through the opponent. This can be used for mixups and possibly avoid some attacks but don't rely on this.
    • During unchain dash, you have access to unchain circle moves after a short minimum distance. You can input 7A+B, 8A+B, or 9A+B to get a quick uc.8B which will immediately cancel into dodge, which can then be optionally cancelled into an unchain ender.
    • uc.2B covers a lot of distance quickly, however is unsafe as it is fairly easy for an aware opponent to punish you. Angel can actually be thrown before uc.2B hits.
    • 41236K unchain dash can be quickly canceled into itself with the uc.8B whiff cancel trick. To do this, start unchain dash with 41236K, then input 412369B. This will make Angel whiff uc.8B and immediately cancel into another dash. Use this to extend the range of unchain dash.
      • Alongside the dodge (4/5/6A+B) to avoid attacks and projectiles, this allows you to move (in a somewhat stilted way) while retaining quick access to your unchain options.

  • Compensates for being the second-slowest 2C in the game by being the only launcher 2C in the game.
  • Special cancelable, even on whiff.
  • Commonly followed up with 214P (kara) > 2K; this is also the optimal combo starter after a 214AC guard break in the corner.

  • Good poke, does what a CD does and not a whole lot else
  • Press C 1-2 frames before pressing D to get extra range out of this move. A 2-frame gap will result in the longest possible range.
  • On hit from midscreen, cancel into 63214B/D to quickly get back in range of the opponent in time to convert into a combo, usually with 2C > 214A (kara) > 2K. This is fairly risk-free as Red Sky is safe on block anyway.

  • Fairly standard horizontal j.CD. Decent air-to-air.
  • On counterhit, use 426BD after landing to convert this into a combo.
  • On block, provides enough blockstun to attempt a crossup on a crouching opponent with hyper hop j.C.

  • Cancel into this after j.A (unless it's a hop) for extra damage on your jump-in
  • Opponent may switch their block to low after blocking the j.A, leading to a hit if the j.2D comes out after
  • See notes in the movement section about using this during a backdash for some advanced movement.
  • If you are backed into a corner, you can backdash and also immediately press 2D to use this move as a sneaky, fast overhead (can be tricky, and quite situational)

  • Ángel slides forward about half-screen distance. B version is faster, D version has longer range and is +2 on block.
  • This is a hitgrab, not a true command grab. It can be blocked.
  • Works as both a combo ender and a way to advance forward in neutral due to its safety on block.
  • On a CD hit, use any version of this to quickly get back in range of the opponent and confirm into a combo, usually with 2C > 214P (kara) > 2K
  • EX version slides faster and can go through projectiles. Grants hard knockdown and an easy safejump, a property that makes it one of the best combo enders Ángel has access to.
  • Safejump: Immediately hyper hop forward after the 624BD animation ends.

  • EX Version has less startup frames and launches higher. It also has strike invulnerability starting on frame 3.
  • Tick throw setup: Make the enemy block a Close A, then use 426AC as soon as its recovery ends (do not special cancel directly out of Close A or the grab will whiff)
  • Usually followed by 46D to continue the combo
  • Some moves can combo into this, but this should be avoided due to the unnecessary damage scaling this would apply to a combo.

  • Unchain starter with good range
  • Often used to continue combos on a launched opponent
  • Can be used as anti-air (not recommended)
  • EX version is faster and vastly improves the distance Ángel moves forward, allowing for consistent 46BD > 6P > 66A chains, especially off 2A confirms. It also makes this move decent (but not great; it’s still an 11 frame special that costs half a bar) for use as a punish tool.
  • Technically advances Ángel forward as long as you cancel the first hit into an Unchain Circle. This makes 46B (whiff) > 6K a surprisingly effective way to fish for overhead hits.

  • Unchain starter that can lead to big damage and works especially well after 6B
  • You can kara-cancel this into any Unchain Circle move, get creative with it and do stuff like poke low from midscreen by canceling into 2K
  • Light version is faster and plus on block with huge pushback, heavy version has no pushback on block and generates much more meter.
  • EX version will guard break on block or crumple on hit
  • EX version is not an Unchain starter. Very few things will combo after a guard break from this move, but 46B (or 46BD) will generally always connect and 2C becomes an option if this guard break is performed in the corner from sufficiently close range.

  • Ángel dashes forward, switching sides if she runs into the opponent unless they are fully backed into a corner.
  • Can be canceled into any Unchain Circle after running for a minimum of 10 frames or after switching sides with the opponent
  • Do not use this in the corner unless it is the EX version, as it will not side switch on an opponent that is in the corner.
  • If Ángel runs into an opponent that is already in the corner using the non-EX version, she cannot cancel into an Unchain Circle after.
  • EX version deals damage and is mostly used to extend combos due to it being extremely punishable on block. If it hits on an enemy already in the corner, you may cancel into a Circle.

35 High - 10 3 32 -14 -16 - 30 40
  • Ángel jumps forward, kicking the opponent very early into the jump
  • Fastest overhead in the game. Also advances Ángel forward
  • Commonly used after catching a launched opponent with 46D, and is usually followed by 426BD after a hit on an airborne enemy.
  • Also works as a good way to mix an opponent after hitting (or whiffing) with uc.2P
  • Has lower body invulnerability to projectiles, allowing her to jump over any ground and medium height projectiles. Higher projectiles, such as Rugal’s eye laser, cannot be jumped over.
  • With proper usage of the Special Spin, this move is a lot safer than its frame data implies. Generally, this move cannot be punished by any strike attack as long as a back Special Spin is inputted immediately after.
  • Unchain Circle follow-ups: 8P, 2P (On a grounded opponent, you are usually better off cashing out with 236C)

  • Ángel spins after performing an Unchain Circle move. If 4 or 6 is inputted along with AB, she will move in that direction. The back spin travels further, the neutral spin recovers faster, and the forward spin generally appears to have better throw invulnerability.
  • Outstanding for baiting reversals during Unchain, especially by using 6P > 4AB
  • Has complicated invulnerability properties. Most consistent of these is the fact that all spins are invulnerable to projectiles for the spin’s entire duration. The spin can end while a projectile is right at the center of Ángel’s hurtbox, and she will still block it. Throw invulnerability will vary. Strike invulnerability starts on frame 1 and lasts 19 frames. Circle · Feint (Backward) - 6AB has the same properties as back dashes when it comes to air throws which means that Ángel cannot by air thown by non-anywhere juggle moves while she is in the air.
  • Useful for repositioning in the middle of a combo (e.g. after 214A > 2K > 8P, use 6AB to get in close enough to launch the opponent with 66A)
  • Can also be used to fish for a normal throw or command grab if the opponent is blocking your mix. A back spin into 66K will usually catch your opponent’s attempt to poke or run up after the back spin.
  • You must use an Unchain Finisher (or drop the combo) after performing this move

  • Good range and safe on block, works great for whiff punishing after a back Special Spin or frametrapping during an Unchain string.
  • Safejump: Immediately press A and hyper hop forward after the hard knockdown

  • Ángel does a slow leap forward, grabbing the opponent
  • Can still hit crouching opponents
  • Nothing combos into this, but it has situational use in resets or on opponent’s wakeup due to its unusually lengthy active frames
  • Keep the universal 10-frame throw invulnerability window in mind when attempting this after a successful hit
  • If this hits in the corner, hold the forward jump input while the animation plays to perform a safejump.

  • Ángel quickly (frame 1) grabs the opponent and kicks them far away
  • Good for cashing out damage after a combo against a grounded opponent
  • You will be far from the opponent after doing this midscreen, but the oki you get out of this move is much better in the corner. Try 46B > 6K right after hitting this on an opponent in the corner.
  • Can be used after a forward Special Spin to fish for small damage, especially on an opponent with low HP.
  • Surprisingly long range
  • When attempting to hit 6K > 236C, be sure that your opponent is grounded before pressing 236C. If 6K clipped an airborne opponent, 236C will leave you in a lengthy recovery animation while your opponent gets up.

  • Ángel runs forward and hits the opponent with a series of punches and kicks, launching them after (does not actually combo into anything except for Advanced/Climax cancels)
  • EX version switches sides if the opponent is not backed up against the corner. It also does not launch, but a Climax will still hit after.
  • Exclusively used as a combo ender, but you will have a hard time justifying using this move. Low damage and poor oki, combined with Ángel’s very poor returns on dumping meter, will make it much more worthwhile to end combos with moves like 66K or 624BD to get better oki.

  • Ángel lifts her knee up. If an opponent hits her during the fairly tight active frame window, she will Rock Bottom them (switching sides) and then perform The People's Elbow.
  • 2-bar version does more damage, and nothing else.
  • 1F startup means this move will beat safejumps clean, including crossups. Consider this as an option when your opponent is at least than 20% HP, or if you are backed up into the corner.
  • Due to its tight active frame window and ability to beat safejumps, this move is best used on wakeup.
  • Can be canceled into from normal and Unchain Circle moves; this should be avoided as it will almost certainly be a waste of meter
  • 2-bar version can be cancelled into from Real Rave (her other super), and this can then be Climax cancelled. If the counter is done raw, it cannot be Climax cancelled.

  • Ángel flips forward and comes down hard with her legs. If this hits, the rest of the animation (and damage) plays, in which Ángel hits the opponent with a few punches before stuffing their face into her chest and dropping to the ground hard, taking the opponent down with her.
  • Don't use this too close to the opponent, she will jump over them and whiff
  • Not an overhead
  • There are two kicks that come out when you activate this attack. The first kick is the one that plays the animation and does full damage. The second kick will give you a knockdown, but does not play the animation and will only do 150 damage.
