The King of Fighters '99/K'

Introduction

The new hero of KOF and Kyo's Rival. He gets fireballs but no command throw.

Crouch height: Low

Stand	Crouch	Backdash	Run

Gameplay Overview

Zoning, Poke and Baiter character where his meterless combos do a lot of damage and dizzy pretty quickly.

He can be good if he takes the opponent to the corner since he can juggle his Second Shell after Iron Trigger (qcf+A) one time or even 2 times and he gets also infinite combo with juggle Second Shell in Counter/Armor Mode with the help of a striker (Clark, Kasumi or other).

Mid-tier character.

The problems in his gameplay is that he has moves with bad recovery which makes it quite easy to punish.

His normal attacks don't get good priority in this kof.

He doesn't get good crossup moves either.

Low-tier as Striker (almost unusable in fact).
