Check out the latest video gameplay tutorial Coliflowerz has created for King of Fighters XIV‘s Billy Kane! It runs down all of Billy Kane’s moves, from his normals all the way to his Super Special moves! You will also learn some easy combos in this video too!
Billy’s combo potential is pretty limited but simple. If you just stick with the midscreen ones you’ll honestly be fine, especially if you play him point. His corner combos are where it gets tricky. It can be weird utilizing Px4 in your combos, but it allows for really awesome extensions. It’s not necessary to an effective Billy, but it might be nice to know.

Check out the latest video gameplay tutorial Coliflowerz has created for King of Fighters XIV‘s Kim Kaphwan! It runs down all of Kim’s moves, from his normals (punches & kicks) all the way to his Super Special moves! You will also learn some easy combos in this video too!
Kim is a pretty simple character, the only tricky parts in his combos are some of his qcfx2 K combos and a few of his 3rd position combos. Not much to say but I hope the video helps!

For those interested in learning DLC character Vanessa, Coliflowerz has created a very informative tutorial video that outlines uses of all her normal moves, command moves, special moves and super special moves (include Climax)! This video also shows you some basic combos and tips that will help you learn how to play Vanessa!
This was a doozy… I tried to skim the video down as much as i could while still giving you all the info you need, or else you’d be watching for a good 20 minutes! I hope it’s comprehensible.
If you have trouble doing cr. C xx hcf AC, try inputting the hcf AC as u~hcf AC.

For those interested in learning DLC character Whip, Coliflowerz has created a very simple tutorial that explains all of her moves in easy-to-follow detail & instruction! Very good for new Whip players & intermediate players who want to improve!
Whip is a little awkward to combo with, but she feels pretty good once you get it down. Make sure you learn to extend your rolls. Also she has a potentially pretty tricky cancel in hcf xx qcb~hcf; just practice that until you get it consistent. I know you can do it!

Hop CDs can be a bit annoying to deal with defensively because of their spacing, distance, large amounts of block stun & because they soft knockdown on hit. JuiceboxFGC took an excerpt from his King of Fighters XIV stream on twitch that explains ways to beat or avoid hop CDs from the opponent!
