KoF XV Starter Guide: What you need to know to play King of Fighters 15

This is the first (of hopefully many) KoF guides to come leading up to KoF 15's release.
I'm still very new to this so if you have any suggestions on how I can improve drop a comment.
I know my voice is a bit rough, this took way more takes to get down than I'm willing to admit. It will be cleaner/better in the next vids.
