K-Bot v1.0

Difficulty Easy

Focus Warm Up and Match Up

K-Bot is part of a large group of bots that use the same inputs, under the Codename "Big Fire". Any other bot with their own version of the preceding sentence, can be used/switched to, after entering this one set of Action Inputs. Those bots have unique point systems, purposes, and settings, so be sure to check other pages for that information.

K-Bot is mostly a warm up Bot that leads into any of the other bots in the "Big Fire" series of bots. It is mostly intended as a Match Up bot and a substitute for the CPU as it is slightly more useful for learning what options you can use against him at various spaces. Like all members of the "Big Fire" series of bots, he is aggressive in ways that force a variation in spacing making him suitable for combo practice. His point system may change later upon further testing.

Bots in KoF are able to be saved by activating the game's "Autosave" function. However, you can only save 1 bot at a time. Therefore, we have checked all characters using the inputs used to determine which of them can be useful, resulting in the codename "Big Fire" due to most of the characters where the bot is effective using fiery moves. These have been given separate, specific pages, when we consider the result to be good enough to act as a functional bot for that character, but there are a few more where we didn't think that the bot reached that level, but a player could still get some use out of going a few rounds with that character with just these 'Big Fire' inputs. A full list of characters and related things can be found in the 'In Depth' section at the bottom of this page.

Gauge Settings

As with all bots, 1P Health should be set to "Normal", set 1P Power Gauge to "1"

These settings may change based on your goals, explained in the Difficulty section below.

Settings for 2P are Health - "Auto-Recover" and Power Gauge - "5".

Goals

Completing each action gives 1 point. Try to get to 10 points without dying. Note that if you don't see the word Punish show up on your side of the screen when you perform a punish for points A, B and D you did not perform the punish correctly.

Points System

A - Punish K-'s uppercut move, or his punching super move, on block, with a punish that starts from your close standing HP or HK.
B - Roll forward to avoid K-'s 'flying kick', and punish from the other side, when far away from him
C - Use a Neutral jump on reaction to his Blackout vanishing slide and strike him with an aerial hit
D - Block and punish his 'flame flicker' attack (in any form)

Variants

To train Meter Awareness, change 1P Power Gauge to '2', points are gained for using the correct punish based on available meter (no points gained for punishes that use no power gauge).

Difficulty Levels

Easy - Points given for ABCD, any punish with the correct starter is valid for Point System A
Medium - Points given for ABCD, but all punishes for Point System A must also be the maximum damage you can get with the Power Gauge available (use it all to get the point)
Hard - Points given for BCD only
Extreme - Points given for B and C only (if you normally play defensively) or B and D only (if you normally play offensively.)

Recording Notes

Players should note that if you hold buttons or directions before starting input they will instantly occur once you start recording. This makes it easier to get frame 1 (FirstFrame) inputs compared to most other games. Additionally you can use the Options button to end recording just like other games, as well as the 'record' button. Use whichever is easiest for you, but note that we are still investigating if there is some input loss when using the Options button, and if you encounter problems, try using just the 'Record' button to end the recordings.
