Archetype

King is one of the few characters whose throws are a true mixup, since both his Giant Swing (f,n,hcf+1) and chain throws (CD.DF+1+3 and CD.DF+2+4) look like 1+2 breaks but are broken with 1 or 2. As a tradeoff for this, his lows are quite weak, so he has to rely heavily on throws to break through defense.

Strengths

Fastest throw in the game (i10)
Loads of okizeme options and situations
Easy whiff punishment (f+2,1)
Mid check with good tracking (df+2)
Lots of elbows and knees, good vs parries

Weaknesses

Slower than normal d+4 (i14)
His mixups are easier to sidestep (throws have worse tracking than lows)

-King is a unique grapple-based character with extremely powerful oki setups, crowd-pleasing comeback factor, an excellent counterhit & punishment game, and solid mid pokes to complement his grabs.

-He's also one of the few characters to have an unreactable throw mixup.
+{{Infobox fighter (Tekken 7)
-King can be slightly unwieldy with his overall linearity and below average sidestep, as well as stubby range on some of his pokes. However, he more than makes up for it in versatility and raw power.
+|name=King
-Similarly, while his lows are weak, his grabs fill the role nicely.

-Notable moves include '''DF2''', a very strong i13 mid counterhit tool, his i14 '''DF1''' which gets better frames when well-spaced, his deceptive throw '''Giant Swing''', and his '''FF1''', a mid homing CH launcher with miles of range and days of + frames when it connects. Only -5 on block, too.
