KOF vs DNF Controls for Player 1 and Player 2

The KOF vs DNF controls split one keyboard between two local players. Player 1 uses WASD for movement, J and K for basic attacks, L to dodge, and U, I, O for special moves. Player 2 uses the Arrow Keys, Numpad 1 and 2 for attacks, Numpad 3 to dodge, and Numpad 4, 5, 6 for special moves.

Learn Movement Before Combos

Practice walking forward, retreating, and jumping without attacking. Spacing determines whether a move connects, misses, or leaves the fighter open. Stay just outside the opponent's attack range, then move in when an attack misses.

Dodging is most useful when timed against a predictable attack. Pressing it repeatedly without watching the opponent can leave no answer for the next move.

Build a Basic Combo

Begin with one reliable basic attack. Add a second hit only after the first consistently connects. Then test a special move as the final action. A short repeatable sequence is more useful than a long combo that fails under match pressure.

Different fighters have different reach and timing, so the same key sequence may not behave identically for every character. Use training or early rounds to learn which attacks connect at close and medium range.

Two-Player Keyboard Setup

Position both players so their hands do not overlap. Player 1 occupies the left letter-key area, while Player 2 uses the Arrow Keys and Numpad. Test movement and every attack key before beginning a competitive round.

For the listed DNF Assassin character, K activates the published Soaring Strike action. Treat character-specific keys as part of that fighter's move set rather than assuming every fighter uses the same result.
