Hi, I just recently borrowed the game and it's SICK!!, one of the best KOF games for sure!.
Anyways, staying truthful to myself in KOF games I'm running the Ikari Warriors Team. I know that almost nobody in KOF run preset teams, but i just love those chars since '94 (since heidern days) and sticked with them all along. I must say than the Ikari Warriors Team in this game is a really good one!.
I run it mostly in this order (IMO the most powerful):
Clark/Ralf/Leona
Clark: Amazing on point. Almost no meter to do substancial damage, and builds it pretty well with gatlings, throws and normals. The fact that him and Ralf can hit confirm from cr.
gives them scary tools to work with. Clark can be pretty defensive and mindf**ing, especially with Light SAB "come at me bro" lol.
Ralf: Good on second position, with 1 or 2 bars can do decent combos and supercancels, even from a cr.
. Good battery char as well, is good building meter. His qcf+P move can annoy people off, and his C version is easily confirmable into more damaging combos.
Leona: The meter hungry of this team. Her EX X-Caliber is a great mixup/pressure tool, easy hitconfirms into EX V-slasher (out of a cr.
) . Her rapid fire cr. B into st. B chain is really useful, great hitconfirm into damaging combos. Her HD's can be complicated but are good, also is possible to keep HD combos simple and do really good damage (st. D ---HD--- st.D, f+B, EX V-slasher ----MC---- Neomax for example). Her EX moves help her more that the other two in her game.
Alternate orders are:
Ralf/Clark/Leona
or
Clark/Leona/Ralf
