Armor King possesses a good arsenal of pokes, counterhit tools, long-range high-damaging moves, and a great whiff punisher in Dark Upper. Combining these tools with good movement and his wavedash makes Armor King a whiff punishment and (standing) block punishment monster.

Armor King also has a nice set of counterhit tools that reward him with very solid damage on their subsequent combos. Once he has his opponent sitting still and blocking, Armor King can open them up with some of the best throws in the game.

What Armor King lacks is incredible mids and the ability to easily gain good frame advantage on block. However, he is still able to play a solid fundamentals-based Tekken game. Players should leverage core Tekken mechanics to maximize AK's potential.
