The fiendish top tier of ''Garou'' returns to KOF XV. Gato is an extremely fast rushdown type whose gameplan revolves around his "demon flips"- Wind Fang and Backdraft Fang. By performing these special moves, Gato will launch himself into the air, where you can follow up with a button to perform one of four unique moves. Gato has a full set of four moves for each of his two stances, totaling eight special moves, each with EX versions. Correctly using these demon flips allows Gato to effortlessly work his way in against his opponent, where can then run a powerful mixup game. In the corner, Gato can demon flip into a high, low, command grab, pressure reset, a divekick... you name it. If that's not enough, he can also consistently convert these options into big damage, which builds him great meter very easily. As a final cherry on top, Gato has good abare and a DP, which is very unusual for a rushdown character to have and makes him infuriating to pressure. While Gato's moveset is unconventional, it is far from bad and gives him a huge amount of options in neutral and pressure. Successfully learning his kit opens the door to peerless pressure and mixup.
The taciturn fist of vengeance, Gato is all about utilizing his strong close-range offense to crush the opponent's defense. What he lacks in zoning options, he makes up for with incredibly strong neutral pokes and a suite of options specially designed to crack open the opponent's defense.
Ultimately, Gato's moveset covers all the bases you could possibly want in KOF XV, thus making him an incredibly solid character that is hard to contest.
Gato's gameplan revolves around the usage of his "demon flips"—Wind Fang and Backdraft Fang—for damage and pressure. Wind Fang can be followed up with a static projectile, a jumping kick, a divekick, or a slide, while Backdraft Fang is more utility-oriented—it can be followed up with an airdash, a counter, a throw, or a slide feint. As a ''Garou'' character, Gato can "brake" the heavy and '''EX''' versions of the jumps before the jump occurs—referred to as "stomp cancels"—that effectively serve as 15-frame launchers that are +2 on block. These are especially powerful in the corner where the opponent can't be launched away, giving him exceptional meter build and damage. Gato can also brake the heavy version of his fully-invincible DP, Lightning Fang, which serves as a fast and consistent launcher that is easy to follow up. All of these options can easily follow up into his main special, Quaking Fang, a palm strike with high damage and pushback that serves as his main combo and pressure option. Because all of Gato's specials deal significant chip damage, it is pretty easy for Gato to KO defensive opponents even if they just try to block his attacks.
Even without his specials, Gato still has an exceptionally strong neutral. For Gato, there's almost no such thing as a stubby button—all of his grounded normals have excellent reach and frame data. Gato has the rare attribute of all of his punching attacks being special-cancelable, which makes it very easy for him to string together attacks. His 2A is +2 on block which makes it a great frame-trap tool, and his 2C has great horizontal reach while only having 6 frames of startup, making is great for whiff punishes. Overall, this allows Gato to either run a gameplan where he can completely overwhelm the opponent with his offensive options, or play it safe and patient with his long-reaching pokes and punish the opponent's mistakes for big damage.
Ultimately, Gato's moveset practically covers everything you could want in a character. An incredibly solid character that is difficult to contest, his potential is limited only by the imagination of the player.

This cold and calculated master-class fighter always strays away from the pack. He set out for vengeance after his mother died at the hands of his father. Though he wishes to go his own way, B. JENET was able to convince him to join the team as she has some info on his father’s whereabouts.

Pros
Cons
Demon Flip Neutral: Having two demon flip specials in 214 A/C and 214 B/D, with four follow-ups each, Gato has a versatile arsenal of moves to work with to get in or counter the opponent's responses. The A/C series are all utility moves, while the B/D series are all strikes.
Pressure God: Due to his extremely powerful demon flip specials and great air normals, Gato has unprecedented offensive capability. His myriad of options for opening up an enemy includes empty lows, divekicks, command grabs, airdashes, stagger and more.
Meter Efficiency: With his 0.5 and 1 bar combos, Gato can dish out big damage while also being able to build a good chunk back, allowing for him to spend his due again and again.
Strong Conversions: Gato has many buttons that cancel into special moves, granting him a scary combo game off of stray pokes or punishes with his 5C/2C
Safe Gameplan: Gato has great frame data on his normals and specials, allowing him a remarkable amount of safety in running his gameplan.
Weak Against Zoning: Gato lacks consistent tools to deal with projectiles or long ranged options, requiring him to take risks on defense and even offense.
Lacking in anti-airs: Against airborne opponents, Gato does not have any anti-air normals and either has to meet them in the air and/or commit to using DP.
Demon Flip Commitment: The risk of using the demon flip follow-ups is heavily detrimental if the opponent guesses right and/or it whiffs, but before that the opponent can react to the flip itself and mash Gato out of it
Poor Light Conversions: The only EX followup Gato gets from a non cl.A light is an EX demon flip IF you are close enough, which is not the case in most scenarios. This relegates Gato to a meterless ender or a super that will deal subpar damage compared to the rest of the cast. This is a big downside that hurts his ability to threaten the opponent with scary damage from stray hits.

Long-ranged punish tool. Curiously has the same startup as far A, but its hitstun allows it to combo into more things. Has better range but is also easier to punish.
Links from (cr.B,) cl.A on any character. Very important for converting lights.
Use this interchangeably with his other pokes to set up a wall in the midrange that is incredibly hard to get around, and with almost every punch hit converting into pressure or a combo. You should get really good at confirming this.

Destroys meterless fireballs
Do not be fooled by the simplicity of this move. Although it is a generic combo tool, it is still incredibly powerful. Despite being technically unsafe on hit and block, it has massive pushback that makes it impossible to punish, making it a very strong pressure tool.

Once Gato touches the ground he slides forward for about half the screen. Like most slides it's only safe if spaced correctly, and it hits low.

Leads to a juggle instead of a super cancel, making it potentially more meter efficient. Travels a bit further and is safer, but Gato takes a while to land from his EX command hops so keep that in mind. If Gato managed to cross over the opponent during the hop then this will course correct instead of sliding further away.

A forward airdash which travels quite far and has fast startup. Gato's air normals are all good so this is very useful for extending pressure, but much like in most anime games this airdash can be easily stuffed. The EX version of this move allows Gato to attack far earlier into the airdash.

A counter attack. Gato will block a single hit then lunge his palms out for a soft knockdown. This is not a catch counter, so the opponent isn't guaranteed to actually get hit by this. Thankfully it has enough invincibility after the counter triggers to go through even multi-hit attacks. The EX version causes a wall bounce that can be followed up with additional combos.

A fake version of Sliding Fang, but it really shouldn't be used as such, as the sound cue is different unless you use the EX version. Instead, this move is generally good for baiting reversals of all sorts, as Gato safely leaps back while the shadow slides forward.

This looks like a better version of 623B, dealing more damage and resulting in a hard knockdown. However, it is not a reversal. Rather, it is a combo tool where you either go for the hard knockdown or use its brake for juggles. The full move gives a 4f safejump with an immediate hop after.

A fully-vertical reversal. The heavy version slides forward a bit before attacking, while the light version rises in place. Generally in combos you'll want to use the C version, as the A will often whiff(C version might be too slow for some juggle combo enders though). If you're going for an Advanced Cancel then start with this super.
Level 2 deals more hits than 236236AC so it scales more.
