The King of Fighters XV/King/Combos

Combo Notation Guide

Notation	Meaning
X Starter	Use the corresponding starter(s) from the 'Starters' section of this page.
>	Cancel the previous move into the following move. If preceded by a move in brackets, must cancel the start of the preceding move (AKA a 'Kara Cancel').
,	Link the previous move into the following move.
(X)	A move in brackets must whiff (not hit). Can also mean the move must be Kara Canceled.
~	Cancel the previous special into the following special.
cl.	Close to opponent.
f.	Far from opponent.
j.	Jumping move.
AA	Anti-air. Hit the opponent while they're mid-air.
[X]	Hold input briefly.
P & K	P and K each denote "Any Punch (A or C)" and "Any Kick (B or D)" respectively.
X/Y	Do either X move or Y move in a combo (Both final damage & stun values will be shown).
X * N {X} * N	Repeat 'X' input 'N' amount of times. Multiple inputs will be bundled into "{}".

Starters

Keep in mind: The combos in the "Combos" section have been tested using the first starter in each category (the combos in Bold).
The other starters in each table should also work in each case, but may not.

Light Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
2B > 2A > 3D	74	2B > 2A is your low light confirm. 3D is unsafe on block from the max range that 2B > 2A lands on block, but is easy to confirm safely.

Heavy Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
j.X > cl.C > 6B		Standard jump-in starter.
cl.D	70	Reliable 2-hit confirm. Opens up your combo routing with meter.

Other Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
CD	75

(Note: 'Other Starters' won't be referenced in the 'Combos' section.)

Combos

Notation Guide (placeholder XIV page for now, replace w/ XV page when available)

General Notes

• Can chain a second cr.B into cr.A
• Can use cl.C instead of cl.D too
• You can delay canceling of 3D into specials to guarantee 623D doesn't whiff.
• Meter Gain Values found by dividing number of pixels of gained meter by length of meter gauge (300 pixels).
• Some meter gain values rounded to nearest hundredth.
