King combos (Tekken 7)

From Wavu Wiki, the 🌊 wavy Tekken wiki

Overview

King has an incredibly straightforward and simple combo game. There is very little variety and knowing just a few combo routes will cover the vast majority of his launchers. At the most basic level, King does not require any complicated inputs to perform effective combos. He requires no dashing, no manually timed inputs. This makes King easy to pick up while still leaving room for optimization and mastery.

Bread n' butter

Bread n' butter combos are juggles that:

  • Work on as many different launchers as possible
  • Work on all body sizes

Launchers that require unique combos go straight to § Staples.

Regular launch (e.g. uf+4)
f+3 df+4,3 df+2,1 S! f,f,f+2+4
Crouching recovery (e.g. CH FUFT 3)
cc f+3 df+4,3 df+2,1 S! f,f,f+2+4
Low launch (e.g., db+2)
df+4,3 2 b+2,1 S! f,f,f+2+4
