    Kof 15 xbox series x has the best input delay response but right after pc as pc is the most fastest. Xbox version of kof 15 is alot more better than ps4 and ps5 ver. Ps5 version is the worst version of kof 15 as the input delay is even at 5.5 ms lmao

    Having Played 900+ Hours in Tekken 7, I wanted to change, KOF series has been part of my attention during my childhood, especially in the KOF 96 to 98 Era, Although in my books, I awarded the crown to Tekken 7, yet in its own category, KOF XV Shines in some areas and fades in the others, Athena's appearance is elegant, Looking at Clark and Terry!!!!!! OMG, they were far more elegant in KOFHaving Played 900+ Hours in Tekken 7, I wanted to change, KOF series has been part of my attention during my childhood, especially in the KOF 96 to 98 Era, Although in my books, I awarded the crown to Tekken 7, yet in its own category, KOF XV Shines in some areas and fades in the others, Athena's appearance is elegant, Looking at Clark and Terry!!!!!! OMG, they were far more elegant in KOF 96 to 2002 titles. They need to be re-modeled. The size of the game is enormous, Having all of the Arcade games libraries on Mame Emulator on my PC takes up to under 20Gigs, this game alone requires 65+GB of Space. Leaving all the complaints aside. This game is enjoyable if given some time and learning. I haven't experienced Online yet. I seriously fear the lagging servers. But if they are at least as good as Tekken 7 Servers, then I'm happy. If your wallet won't hurt, you may get it now @ $28.00 on XBox, else wait for it to drop at $10.00, and then you may secure a copy of your own.… Expand

    It's an excellent fighting game that brings a wide variety of characters, the possibility even for beginners to apply impressive and diverse battle modes and the best possible netcode for online matches. Easily a great chapter in one of the most iconic fighting franchises in video game history.

    The good:
    KoF is back on Xbox. The netcode is far superior. The character modeling looks good.
    The bad: It feels like another one of those Fantasy games in the series where they include fighters just because Ashe's saga ended in the previous game (KoF XIV) and we couldn't play it on Xbox. The modeling of the characters, although it complies, feels anachronistic. There are few people    The good:

    The bad:
    It feels like another one of those Fantasy games in the series where they include fighters just because Ashe's saga ended in the previous game (KoF XIV) and we couldn't play it on Xbox. The modeling of the characters, although it complies, feels anachronistic. There are few people playing already and they need to open up cross-play to bring the game to life. Some extra characters are paid. Didn't they fit on the disc? The game lost its essence of challenges and feels more like a "I want to be a Street Fighter" and it doesn't fit. It is only for Series X not for One or One X

    Lo Meh!:
    After crashing in sales for making the previous KoF XIV exclusive to another console, their return to Xbox after such a rudeness feels like that regretful dog who returns after wanting to escape from his owner and seeing that he can't fend for himself in the world. It is not on Xbox Game Pass and if the game came it would come back to life, both in concept, online play, and in the franchise.    … Expand

    Good-
    The gameplay feels as refined as 14. The visuals are a substantial upgrade from 14. The game has a great balance of learning and mastering the different types of combos and mechanics
    Bad- The "story" mode is so awfully structured and really feels like it was intended as a extended tutorial. There isn't really any mechanical upgrades outside of visuals and honestly just feels    Good-

    Thoughts-
    The game is fun but feels more like a overhaul instead of the next step in the series. It really only improves the visuals and presentation and that's it. The lack of a good story mode (which I beat in 2 hours) is very disappointing. Overall, if you enjoyed 14 then you will enjoy this but don't go in expecting a completely new game.    … Expand

    How a game that has been essentially the same since 1994 continues to be so fantastic? Let me explain:

    Firstly, KOF, at any time, in any generation, is an excellent fighting game. It is impossible to don't enjoy it. Its character and its fighting system is simply a masterpiece of fighting games. Second. The graphics, the mobility, and the scenarios are simply outstanding. Even    How a game that has been essentially the same since 1994 continues to be so fantastic? Let me explain:

    Second. The graphics, the mobility, and the scenarios are simply outstanding. Even though KOF VX is a 2D game, its 3D graphics are extraordinary. The game is fast and addictive, but overall, it is exciting.

    Ok, ok, it is essentially the same, but at the same time, it is the best of all the KOF. If you are a fan of the series, KOF XV is a must-be in your collection. Also, it is highly recommended if you already have mastered Mortal Kombat 11 or Dead or Alive 6 and are looking for new challenges in a fighting game.    … Expand

    Jogo bem divertido, lembra muito a minha infância. A jogabilidade clássica ajuda muito. Não é os melhores gráficos mas mesmo assim muito bons.

    Online feels quite barren. They need to enable cross-play. At least the input lag is not there compared to the ps5 version.

    The King of Fighters XV is a great fighting game and SNK did a good job on bringing it up to par with the likes of the competition. However the game has a fantastic roster, great gameplay and is looking fantastic, there are still a few things missing. You can't really unlock things, there aren't as many modes as you would wish and the story just isn't that long. If those things were better, then the game which already kicks ass, would bring even the greatest of competitors on its knees.

    The King of Fighters saga is back, without many improvements but with the same sheer frantic action and charm that made it one of the best in the genre.
