The King of Fighters XV/Mature/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 > 2A	60	Standard low light confirm, requires decently close range but not point blank.

Heavy Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
cl.C/2C/f.C	70	With no command normals, this is all you're gonna get for a heavy starter.
cl.D	80	Slower than cl.C, same speed as 2C, but has extra hitstun, allowing it to combo into 236A and, more importantly, 236D.
cl.A, cl.C	91	Light-heavy frame trap/link, cl.C has pretty good activation proximity but cl.A's is small enough that you will need to be very close to get this link.

Other Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
CD	75

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

Combos

General Notes

Combos

Rush Auto Combo

Combo	Damage	Meter cost	notes
cl.A > A > A > B	137	0	Rush combo ending in a special move(NOTE: the ending move is 236B, meaning you can combo after, and this technically leads to Mature's optimal meterless light routing)
cl.A > A > A > C	213	1	Rush combo ending in a super
cl.A > A > A > D	359	2	Rush combo ending in a Max super
cl.A > A > A > A	434	3	Rush combo ending in a Climax super

Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	notes
Light Starter > 214C ~ 4P ~ 4P	156	165	0	22.1%	Anywhere	Meterless from lights, it's this or autocombo(autocombo is technically better).
Heavy Starter > 236B, 214C ~ 4P ~ 4P	250	240	0	35.6%	Anywhere	Launcher into C rekka, best meterless from heavies(midscreen).
Starter > 214A	119/136	145/140	0	16.5%/17%	Anywhere	Not optimal, but safe, so you'll find yourself doing this a lot from heavies if you can't hitconfirm.
