is a reunion tour. When you see Geese Howard on the select screen next to Shingo, you feel something. You have 30 years of baggage, lore, and rage quits behind every portrait. Unlocking them isn't a reward; it's a homecoming.

Here is the tale of the tape. King of Fighters XV (Est. Roster: ~60+ characters) DNF Duel (Est. Roster: ~16 characters)

If you hand a controller to a friend with everything unlocked in , they will win. They will push the "MP Skill" button, watch a flashy explosion, and scream, "Did you see that?!" They will love it.

It depends on whether you want to study for a PhD in footsies (Play KOF) or whether you want to watch a Michael Bay movie (Play DNF).

Turn on "All Characters Unlocked." You'll have more fun with both.
