Really appreciate the time you spent on this. I haven’t played this game in roughly 30 years, I feel like a deer on ice out there trying to move around and string combos. It’s nice to have a few strategies I can apply to most characters. Team Ikari 4 life!
KoF games typically don't have any "useless" moves as a result. Additionally, most attacks have generous hitboxes AND hurtboxes, which makes them all great pokes AND whiff-punish tools, so having a variety of hitbox types doesn't matter as much. What matters more is the speed of the attack, and when you use it. It's just a completely different style of game from Street Fighter fore example.
Tap up briefly. If you hold up for too long, you'll do a full jump. It takes some practice, but it's not as hard as some characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee. If you continue to have trouble, you can try going quickly from up to down.

Solid tutorial man.
Great video
I'm new to KOF but how come it doesn't have any medium attacks? If it did have them would it hurt or improve the system?

The Neo Geo, from which KoF come from, only had 4 buttons.
How do you use short hop with regular console controller?

@@Moqlnkn thanks. I'll try. It really hurts my thumb doing this lol.
@@boonieboonie568 If it hurts you, don't do it. Figure out a different method of hopping, or see a doctor.
Probably the best explanation of KOF neutral I've heard, very helpful 🔥👍🏽
That was very instructive, but the music of the game was a tad loud, and at times I had difficulty understanding you. T'was a little irritating.
