For any newcomers coming into The King of Fighters XIV, picking three characters from the large 50 character roster may seem like a daunting task. To help simplify this and make sure that newcomers make the right choices that help them learn the series’ mechanics, Antinomy has come up with a handy infographic that should help people make their choices.

The infographic, which you can see in the tweet below, places the characters into 3 groups. First up is the green group, characters here are those that will teach newcomers the basic aspects of KOF. Characters in the yellow group are somewhat similar to those in the green. However, they also have some special moves or properties that such as safe blockstring enders, that may not exactly teach players how to properly play the game. Finally, those in the red group will tend to give players bad habits that won’t help them out in the long run.

In addition to the three groups, there is an additional black group that’s reserved for the final boss Verse, which players shouldn’t pick–for obvious reasons.
