The King of Fighters XV Version 2.00 Patch Notes

SNK has released update 2.00 for The King of Fighters XV. The developers added NADJ to the roster of available fighters, accompanying the release of the character breakdown trailer, and also made changes to ranked matches and fixed various issues.

You can find the complete list of changes below:

System

New Stages

• Added a new stage: “Boulevard Riyadh City”.

TRAINING

RANKED MATCH

• Added new ranks: IMMORTAL and Ranks 31-40.

• For the IMMORTAL rank, you'll start off with 50 fewer stars than what you had accumulated while at the CHAMPION rank. * Ranks 36-40 and the IMMORTAL rank are excluded from Daily Boost.

Matchmaking

General

• Improved matchmaking speed.
• Made it harder for consecutive matching to occur with opponents fought immediately prior. * Consecutive matching might still occur if there are no other matchable players available.

”Similar Rank” Searching/Waiting

• With the IMMORTAL rank, it’s now easier to be matched with players who have a similar number of ★ as you.
• When there are several matchable players available, you’ll be matched with players closer in rank to you.
• Broadened the eligible matching pool for ranks other than IMMORTAL. Example: Up till now a Rank 28 player would be matched with a Rank 26-30 opponent. With this new change, the player will be matched with a Rank 21-35 opponent instead.
