KrohnenBot v1.0

Difficulty Moderate

Focus Match up and Neutral

KrohnenBot 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.

KrohnenBot is a fairly basic bot mostly intended as a CPU replacement due to the CPU not being very useful in helping you learn match up knowledge. Due to his moveset's ability to keep a player at bay and constantly need to advance in order to maintain spacing he has the ability to help beginners start to get the basics of neutral in KoF. Unfortunately due to Krohnen's moveset requiring mindgames and predictions only capable by a player he is limited as a bot, but it is able to get across basic concepts enough that we feel it can act as a primer for low level match up knowledge. The point system for this bot may update 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 - Low profile (if your character has the option) or otherwise interrupt Krohnen's Strike Slash.
B - Land a grounded blowback in neutral (does not count if done after a knockdown)
C - Whiff punish heat shield
D - Land a hop or jump attack

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
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 B and D only
Extreme - Points given for B and C only

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.
