I’m playing Guile/King.
Works well imo.
Guile builds good meter and I can convert c.mk hit into king tag combo. Though be warned guile launches very low so the only consistent followup is c.lp knee dp p
Another good thing about this team that I can convert anti air flashkicks for good damage with king (above 400dmg)
Anyone tried out Kazuya/King sides me? Kaz builds meter pretty quickly and can combo into his mist step rising uppercut very easily, doesnt scale horribly either.
Vega/King works super well, any confirm into Scarlet Terror can be switch canceled into knee if you cancel it on the second hit of ST so that King comes in close enough.
What do you guys think of Juri/King? I tried out Poison/King, but the DP tag into Knee only works in the corner. With Juri, I can get cr.MK > HK Pinwheel > Tag > Kneex4 > Grab for 476 damage.
I’ve been using Rolento/King since I’ve only truly learned King. Rolento seems to be easy mode so far as long as you can confirm into Rekkas. Builds meter without requiring meter.
I’ve also tried Asuka/King and Bison/King. Asuka just isn’t a great point character since her footsies are horrible (probably even worse than King). She’d be better as an anchor. And even though I mained Bison in AE, I just don’t like him in this game, but I hope people can prove me wrong.
I think Bison is probably a solid starter, if only because you can just poke so hard with his MK chained to HK Launcher if the first hits. While King’s Footsie game isn’t the greatest, I’m actually getting a lot of success through Disgraceful Kick and the occasional counter if they’re poking high. I’ve had success with Asuka, but that’s more as to her awesome cross up than any real synergy with King; her big thing is that she can combo well off a cross cancel from his overheads, and he can combo well off her’s.
Rolento/King is probably really strong, but it does scale the juggles somewhat harshly due to having 3 Rekkas pre-Cross Cancel. I’m sticking with Sagat/King for the time, just because his footsies aren’t terrible and his zoning game is really strong.
My Akuma and King team is looking good so far.
I’m experimenting with that right now. So far so good. Good synergy between the two.
Kaz does great damage, but the only thing i can tag off of are either his ex :qcf: :mp:+:hp:, his mist step :lp:, or :qcb: :lp: into cr.:mk: Jag Bomb but the time is really tight on :lp: and some of his damage isnt that great. Any other suggestions?
Edit: Completely forgot about tagging in during his :qcf: :hk: so much easy knee damage
Been using Abel/King. Me gusta
Combofiend was using Juli/King then Rolento/King, both looked very solid
Vega King is great, love cancelling out of a roll for crazy mixup time. Poison king works really well for me as well. Her dp sucks for tag cancelling, but you can also tag cancel her close fireball and ex rekka for some pretty good set ups. What’s most important is that she:
a) has CRAZY pessure. She can carry someone to the corner, do ex rekka, switch to King, king has lovely positioning for a few mixups.
b) she is a meter MONSTER. In between her great poke/rekka game, her fast, relatively safe fireball, and her invincible meter building back flip, its extremely easy to get the 2 bars I always want before going into King.
I tried Julia King, but things weren’t really jammin’
This as my team as well. I came up with some really damaging combos day 1, but didn’t make note of them and now I can’t remember the sequence. One reached over 600k, 2 meters. =[
However I’m liking some of the teams I’m seeing listed, as they feature a lot of point characters I’m interested in switching up with (Akuma, Rolento, Julia)
Yeah im running Poison / King and im loving it, all the things you mentioned also with the ability to Charge Cancel moves makes it so she builds so much meter for king it’s perfect.
king is a grappler so i went with Raven as my anchor for his quickness, projectiles, and teleports. loving it so far.
Going to try Law/King. I’m assuming Law can be a good battery. This is just from gameplay I’ve seen of him. Still need to start learning him. Rolento/King is solid. I just think the damage could be much higher with a more appropriate starter for king.
The downside is Law has no real “get off me” or wake-up options. I get abused by really good rushdown once I get caught in a vortex.
Onslaught gem Guile / Immense Power gem King seems to be working out just fine for me even though I’m a beginner King player.
So far I’ve been able to whittle players down and build meter with Guile just enough to where after you tag King in they are done for if they can’t deal with the first mixup.
If I can’t get the KO, I try my hardest to tag Guile back in ASAP and try to rinse and repeat my strategy cuz once my opponent starts putting offensive pressure on my King, its GG haha.

Is it possible to Do 4 upknees with king then jump roundhouse tag cancel into Law and do something consistently? I tryed doing back MP MP when he comes in but it only hits like 10% of the time.
Depends on where you are on the screen. If you have a speed gem active it will always connect, however the startup for b+MP is often too long to catch them in the air unless they’re very high. What I’ve gotten practice doing is either linking two standing MPs or standing MP, standing HP and then doing shaolin spin kicks. It does similar damage if not more.
