Although there’s still no confirmation yet on a Season 3, The King of Fighters 15 still has at the very least one more year of competition ahead of it until Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves launches with a lot of tournaments to be played.
One of those competitors for the game who’s topped more consistently than almost anyone in North America, TNS|Yurikov, recently dropped what will likely end up as his final tier list for Season 2.
Following the big events of the SNK World Championship 2023 and Evo Japan 2024 recently, Yurikov has six characters total in the S+ rank including some unsurprising picks like Isla, Geese and Benimaru.
For his other team picks from his championship Last Chance Qualifier run, Meitenkun and Blue Mary are up in the S tier alongside this season’s Goenitz and Sylvie plus the previously low-tier Whip.
Duo Lon, Shingo, Hinako and Kim’s pants aren’t quite as high though also not in the bottom ranks.
There’s only a total of five characters below B tier, and three of them Yurikov says to wait until the hopeful Season 3 / new balance update.
You can check out Yurikov’s end of Season 2 tier list for KOF15 below where only the S+ ranks are ordered.
