Rolling only occurs at high-level play in very specific situations. You
will almost never see top players rolling around for the heck of it in
neutral, as an example. They play proper ground game and will run, hop or
jump depending on the situation. A roll might happen if they get a good
read or see an opportunity for a punish. Outside of that, its use is
limited to corner escapes (they'd be lucky if someone lets it happen more
than once during a match because they will get punished for it after) and
reads, projectile avoidance or guaranteed punishes. Rolling isn't this
magically new addition to KOF that confounds top players all of a sudden.
For example, depending on the spacing I use, I can tell when you might go
for a roll (9 times out of 10, you don't disappoint) and I punish you for
it, whether it's a throw punish or a light confirm, etc. If I can do it at
my scrub level, there is nothing preventing a seasoned player from doing it
too. If a roll goes unpunished, it's usually because the opponent wasn't
looking for it; not so much that they didn't expect it.
The only thing that's different about KOF14 compared to previous iterations
is that the characters are no longer 2D hand-drawn sprites. The
fundamentals required to play this KOF are exactly the same as any other
KOF before it post '95. Hops are still stuffed with jab. Rolls can still be
punished with throws.
@Nic and Manase, you guys have played KOF for years too. What do you think?
Is KOF14 so different that you'e had difficulty adjusting or does it still
feel like KOF?

I see that even top players allow that rolling out of corners to occur. it
is a thing.

KOF14 is hardly that different and you know it. Vets can still play the
exact same way as before.

LB thinks relying on shenanigans, switching characters/teams when he
loses and generally playing like an idiot is enough to secure victory.
Thanks to our matches, l've cottoned on to just about every single gimmick
and special move he depends on to win. There's only one other option
available to him, which is to actually start playing solid for a change. I
did ask you what you were going to do if l started figuring out how to
punish your shit, LB. So what are you going to do?
Side note: To date, l have NEVER changed my team since l started
learning Kukri (Kukri, Andy, Mai), so he really has no excuse for losing.
If anything, he should have my entire team/playstyle figured out by now.
