Differences between KOF XV vs KOF XIV Gameplay:

Similar to previous games in the series, KOF XV focuses on a fighting system that includes squads of 3 heroes. The parry system called Shatter Strike is back. This game also includes the MAX Mode system where heroes use powerful attacks once their energy meters reach maximum.

The "Rush" button present in both The King of Fighters XV & The King of Fighters XIV helps new players execute combos & special moves easily. Shatter Strike was originally built for defense but can also be used for offensive when players make use of guard points. In The King of Fighters 14, combos from fast activation were the core way max mode was used so the gauge depletion was enhanced from one to two to stop users from being overwhelmed. Neutral state in The King of Fighters 14 was not observed often so in The King of Fighters 15 attack power & guard crush is enhanced when neutral is triggered.
