The King of Fighters (KOF) XV has just released its latest patch, Ver.1.70, which brings a host of updates, improvements, and bug fixes. Among the most notable changes are the addition of new music, enhancements to the game’s interface, and the resolution of various issues related to character hitboxes and moves.
One of the most notable changes in the Ver.1.70 update is the addition of a new album to the DJ STATION – the KOF Staff Roll BGM Collection 2. The update also includes Random Lists for use on the main menu and Member Select screen. Moreover, the Ranked Match, Casual Match, and Room Match settings have been consolidated under Battle Settings.
In addition to these system changes, the update includes several character-specific adjustments. For instance, Clark’s Close Standing HP and Close Standing LK moves have been resolved, which previously made him invulnerable to throws during a certain window. King’s Surprise Rose (Normal/MAX Ver.) and Illusion Dance moves have also been adjusted, as they were not previously considered in-air.
