Interview with M', the winner of KOFXV division!
- Please tell us how it feels to be the winner.
M': I'm happy because it was really my goal. I was frustrated many times, so I am happy to have achieved it.
- How did your surroundings support you?
M': I would like to thank all the athletes from Japan and China who came along with me for training. I think the competition was the result of my training.
- Now that you have qualified for the SNK World Championship 2026 (SWC 2026), how will you prepare?
M': Since adjustments were announced earlier, I would like to take this opportunity to touch characters that I have not used before. I want to open up a variety of possibilities.
- Are there any players you would like to play against in SWC 2026?
M': I would like to get revenge on Lauyagami (@Lauyagami1 ), whom I lost to last time. Also, Xiaohai (@Xiaohai_ ), MadkoF (@madkof81 ), and many other strong players will be coming through, so I would like to fight them if I can.
- How did you feel when you were reset?
M': I felt that I made a mistake in my character selection and I was not thinking straight.
- You won the game with Coola.
M': I have been playing with Coola for about 10 years. Last year, I lost to Lacid (@kmg5661 ) in the Routers semifinals with Coola, but after that, I had been thinking of countermeasures for Lacid, so I was able to get into the game and win.
