Gameplay Overview

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.

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 is a mix-up character with very tricky options, limited only to the user's imagination, who can use those openings to deliver immense damage.
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.

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.
