its his shinning wizard move it can only hit if the opponent is crouching
Ahh thanks for that, hopefully its not too situational because it looks badass.
I wonder what moves he’s kept from Tekken; does he have his spinning punch? His while standing one-two punch? The duck forward grab chain throw starter? Any chain throws?
Played him yesterday…all I gotta say is DAT KNEE. It’s like…completely safe on block and you can juggle it three times into his running jaguar bomb. It also beats a SHIT ton of moves.
He doesn’t have any of his 10 chain throws in Tekken…but those sucked in Tekken so not a big loss I guess? Amazing pokes and air-to-airs. His Jaguar step (LK+MK+HK) goes to fireballs and is awesome way to get in on street fighter fools. Shining wizard is amazing but only hits crouchers, and Giant Swing is pretty…meh. It seemed it whiffed a lot at point blank range but who knows.
I’m sad that they didn’t give him Armor Kings wavedash capabilities, but that would’ve been too OP I guess. King is definitely top tier. Don’t take it from me, Seth Killian told me straight up lol. Seriously, when I used Sagat/King I did not drop a game lol. Day 1 main for me so far. I hope they will give him armor kings costume as an alternate.
Good info, thanks! Also does he have either f, f 2 gut punch or the gut kick that causes crumple on counter hit?
And sadly they gave Abel an Armor King costume and Kings is Alex from SF3; luckily I play Abel too so i can rock that team heh.
Never played Tekken, but always like the way King looked. Might give him a go.
he doesn’t have his chain throws? thats as bizarre as kazuya not having wgf. i saw nina doing hers, so i don’t see why he wouldn’t have his. if he doesn’t, then what’s “reverse arm slam combo” from his movelist? that’s close to the name (reverse arm clutch) of his f,d/f+1+3+_2+4 chain throw starter. i would take seths top-tier claim with a grain of salt. he’s there to promote the game and get players excited which he does well (game is hype!), but he’s made some bold impressions in the past. still super-excited for king.
I’ll be definitely picking up King, those combos and his anti-air looks really sick.
I wonder if sticking him with Rolento or Ken would be good since they have good ways to tag him and end a combo in a running air powerbomb, so he can be in close and get his grab game and stuff going.
my only concern is giant swing other then that i really want to play this guy king and hugo/zangief
havent seen anyone using his counters/reversal
King’s knee launcher seems cheap as hell from what i’m seen.
its incredibly fast, launches high and can be combo’d into itself like 5 times, or 4 then a special move of super.
For those wonder where was those outrageous King knee juggle combos… It came from the same guys that were doing the levelupseries for Paul/Law, meaning they obviously had the game…

1:11:36, if you notice King’s Knee doesn’t hit people horizontally that well.
1:46:00 knee juggle action
www.twitch.tv/leveluplive/b/308719589
Some footage from Armshouse of Fuudo displaying some knee juggle madness at 0:24:00 and 0:36:30
So the knee is :uf::mk:? That’s kind of a strange input.
That’s a pretty typical Tekken input isn’t it? I know in Tekken 6 Kazuya’s spin kicks are like that.
King has a launcher in Tekken that’s uf + 4 so it does fall in line with his moves; that launcher hits crouching and can be blocked high in Tekken, tho.
So at first I figured the downside to doing knee juggles was that it would be tough to actually connect with the knee outside of tag situations. Turns out you can just link it off of EX Jail Kick. This character is scary.
What’s up with EX Jail kick anyways? does it just give you massive frame advantage at the cost of one bar? Does it have a grab follow-up like the normal one?
I think I remember seeing the follow up being used in that same stream with all the crazy jail kick combos but don’t quote me on that. Could be like Rolento’s Patriot Circle in that there isn’t any followups.
