PokeMixupKeepoutWhiff punishOkizemePressureDefenseTricky

King is one of the few characters whose throws are a true mixup, since both his Giant Swing (hcb,f+1) and chain throws (CD.1+3 and CD.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)
  • Lots of elbows and knees, good vs parries
Weaknesses
  • Fastest mid is i14 (df+1)
  • Slower than normal d+4 (i14)
  • His mixups are easier to sidestep (throws have worse tracking than lows)
