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)
