Gameplay Overview

Luong is one of the new comers of the KOF series, debuting in KOFXIV on Team Kim. Luong utilizes a stylized variation of Teakwondo. Luong is a relative unique yet simple character to play as she has only a few special moves with her normals backing her up very nicely. In a lot of ways, some of Luong's tendencies in her game play may remind the player of the character known as Yamazaki as she has a lot of tricks to take advantage of in the neutral while fighting at the mid range. At longer distances, the player will have to plan their offensive approach carefully while keeping the opponent at bay with qcf+B or qcf+P. She can also delay her qcf+B or qcf+P if the player holds the K button and she can also cancel it altogether by pressing D while delaying it. This is a good way to threaten the opponent with a mid range poke or potential mix-up. Luong can also force mistakes out of the opponent and the begin implementing a barrage of attacks from up close. Luong is a decent character for players who wish to take a simple yet effective route or play a lot of mind games while getting a lot of damage off of well-placed pokes and close range combo opportunities.
