Alright, with Evo and other events coming up, I thought maybe it would be good to throw some gimmick ideas around. The King is generally a no-nonsense , fundamental type character. So let’s post some random gimmicks that will help give us that extra surprise advantage in game! Whether it be funky new or old, frame traps, throw setups, or just some tendencies you notice that players have, lets just get everything out there!
I’ll start off a few. I notice a sagat doing some kara dp sheninangans off a few set ups. if you do a point blank low TS (ex if you want to be safer) immediately throw a kara uppercut because ppl tend to move forward or press buttons.
Another one is the sanford kelly, i.e. doing a kara uppercut immediately after a jump rh/fp. this essentially auto times your uppercut to be late in order to catch crouch techs/buttons or even backdashes!
let me be captain obvious, but if you want free damage and have meter to burn, angry scar at the beginning of round 2 or 3. They do anything stupid (jump, slide, burn kick, etc.) free angry scar TU damage. If they don’t do anything, you got an AS stocked.
I want to see whiff F-RH (high step kick) then dp. Nobody reacts and punishes it while still active. Its a classic Sagat gimmick from vanilla and is sorely forgotten
I like to EX tiger knee then grab since it is usually left unpunished. Once my opponent reacts to my pattern of grabbing after every EX tiger knee, I usually go balls out and ultra the poor kid.
