Although Vice and Mature aren’t set to hit The King of Fighters 15 for a few more days, it appears fans are getting a taste of what else the ladies are bringing with them to the game.
SNK just dropped the official patch notes for KOF15’s Version 2.41 update offering balance changes and adjustments to the entire cast.
Even though some strong characters like Benimaru, Isla, and have received a few nerfs to make a couple moves slower on startup or have longer recovery, the general idea lf this update appears to be buffing fighters all around and opening up some new combo options.
The official update is slated to release this Thursday, December 12 alongside Vice and Mature.
They also released a new video highlighting some of the bigger changes that can be found below.
SNK previously put out the character guide video breakdowns for Vice and Mature to show off what the new DLC can do in action.
