There is a massive roster of characters for players to look through for King of Fighters 15. This can be the case for many fighting games. However, players will always find a small handful of characters they enjoy playing more than others. What’s even better is when one of these characters is placed high up in the meta, such as A-tier, or even S-tier.
What matters more than playing to the meta is playing a character you can actually get good with. Some players will perform better with a zoner, and others will shine at the mid-game. Find which character works best for you to enjoy the game.

The Most Iconic Character Archetypes In Fighting Games
Fighting games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat follow character archetypes, which can identify the playstyle of the character.
S Tier Characters in The King of Fighters 15
S-Tier characters are the top performers. Players that can master any of the listed characters will be a daunting force to overcome for their opponents. Each of them has their own ways of playing, and it will take time and effort to master each of them.
S-Tier Characters in King of Fighters 15:
- Iori Yagami
- Benimaru Nikaido
- Yashiro Nanakase
- Chizuru
Iori Yagami
Iori is well-rounded and adaptable. No matter what opponent comes his way, he can pull off a play style to give them a run for their money and, in the hands of a skilled player, can chalk up consecutive win streaks. He has fast specials, slow specials, and can become immune to projectiles to close the gap on zoners.
Benimaru Nikaido
Benimari’s reach is something that is not to be underestimated. They can relentlessly punish their opponents by dominating the mid-game and seamlessly closing the gap. Players attempting to rush him will find themselves continuously being countered, and should they try to pull back, they will find that they are the ones being rushed.
Yashiro Nanakase
Yashiro is a heavy hitter that players will want to get in close with. While close, he can utterly dominate fights thanks to a large array of options. His kit allows him temporary immunity to projectiles and rushing to close gaps quickly and effectively.
Chizuru
Chizuru is a great choice for players that like to zone. They can send out clones of Chizuru to strike opponents at a distance or use them to fake out opponents. She can also use her clones to put pressure on other zoners, and punish players trying to rush from the mid-game. This can make her a very frustrating opponent.
