== Introduction ==
King is rated as a weak if not THE weakest character in the game. Not physically weak, although she IS a skinny girl, but weak in her ability to win matches consistently (it's a game after all). I'm going to try and be as objective about this as I can, but I have an undeniable soft spot for low tier characters. As per usual these characters have to work harder for their wins. That just means that YOU have to play better.

== Story ==
'''King''' is a highly skilled Muay Thai fighter, who defeated a legendary Muay Thai champion early on in her life. She often dresses masculine, originally to disguise herself since women are not traditionally allowed in Muay Thai competitions, but also so that she will be taken seriously and respected as a fighter. King mostly took to fighting in the streets for money, as she needed to save for a surgery her little brother needed on his legs, but was defeated and humiliated by Jack Turner and his gang, who brought her to Mr. Big. At the time, Mr. Big was the crime lord of South Town, and employed King to be a bouncer at his bar. King would eventually find herself hired by Geese to kidnap Yuri Sakazaki in order to hurt the Sakazaki dojo. Once Ryo defeated her, and found out she was a woman, she told him about her need for money. Ryo convinced her to help him defeat Geese, and she agreed, freeing Yuri as well.


King has a very good roll and some special moves that become a great addition to your arsenal if you RC (Roll Cancel) them. For this reason playing her in a groove with a roll would benefit you a lot. King has quite a few CC (Custom Combo) starters and that makes her somewhat of a threat. Her level 3 supers are of limited use and do relatively low damage. The preference for dashing or running is usually personal and/or situation dependant but running seems to add the most to her game. Lowjumps are almost allways a good thing to have at your disposal. I'm sure she can be played in many grooves at a decent level, as it allways comes back down to the player behind the controls, but considering all the aforementioned things I would recommend playing her in one of theese grooves: A, C or (my favorite) N. K groove being the 4th and slightly more risky choice. --[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:09, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
King nowadays fights in the various King of Fighter's tournaments, and is the founder of the popular Team Women Fighters, an all-female team of strong fighters. She befriended her previous victim Yuri, and those two made quick friends with Andy's girlfriend Mai Shiranui, forming the basis of the original team. King developed a deep crush on Ryo as well after he defeated her. In between tournaments, she runs a bar called the Illusion, with her two twin barmaids Sally and Elizabeth.

== Normal Moves ==
== Gameplay ==
To keep this short and more useful I'll only mention the moves I deem noteworthy. Some of her moves such as rapid fire c.lk and c.lp are pretty generic and others such as far standing mk are pretty silly, I'd like to skip both those categories.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:33, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
King is regarded as a weak character in CvS2. She was originally considered very bottom tier with Kyosuke and Dan, but is now seen as one level above, along the same lines as Yuri, Athena, Benimaru, etc. Despite this, she does have some good tools, like one of the best rolls in the game. What holds King down is having lackluster neutral pokes, no meterless reversal, low health, and low damage with no easy way to convert quick attacks into combos. Her mixup game is very basic, being almost entirely strike/throw with her normal throws and 2LK. Her only good move for resetting pressure can be interrupted mid-way, severely limiting its use against opponents who aren't unfamiliar with the match. And furthermore her supers are all terrible. They are all hard to properly connect with, cannot reasonably ever be comboed into, and easily punishable on block. Most Groove choices will have King sitting on her super bar for the entire match, never able to actually use it.
 
King has a few noteworthy strengths, namely her roll. She has the fastest roll speed in the game, and with an animation that makes it somewhat hard to know it's happening. Rolling directly into the opponent gives her a strong strike/throw game, and it also serves as a way to dodge and counter any poke attempt from the opponent. She also has a very strong anti-air game, with her 5HK cleanly beating out all but the very best jump attacks, and her 2HP to hit anyone jumping in deeper. She can also simply roll against any air opponent, guaranteed to avoid any attack they tried to, and then just punish them as they land.
 
Unfortunately, it's hard to convince an opponent why they should jump or risk any approach at all when they probably have better and longer neutral buttons than King. Her 236K Venom Strike fireball is simply standard, meaning it's quite easy to react to and punish in neutral. And while her 236236K Double Strike shoots two fireballs out and is great for fireball wars, its increased animation time and recovery make it horrendous to use in neutral. Roll Cancel also does not benefit King much at all, since all her specials are highly punishable on block. While you could use them simply to do an invincible counter-poke, a regular roll probably would've gotten you better results with much less risk.  
 
Of particularly note is that she is inherently weak against K-Groove. Her multi-hit specials, especially with a corner Surprise Rose extension, will fill up the K-Groove bar almost instantly despite doing little overall damage. The K-Groove opponent can easily rage three or four times during a match. It's not uncommon to bait their level 3, punish them for it, and watch their meter fill up to full again when the combo ends. Be prepared to spend most of the match fighting fully-raged opponents.


====Crouching MK====
King's biggest weakness is patient, defensive opponents, as she has a hard time maintaining attack pressure and moving into her desired attack range in general. But her biggest strength may be simply that everyone underestimates her and nobody else really tries to play her, so you can easily knowledge-check opponents who have zero idea how to do the matchup.
This kick will be used a lot thanks in no small part to the fact that it is cancelable to specials and has the most range of all her cancelable normals. It is also her most meaty move with a whopping 10 active hitting frames. Stick this out over a knocked down opponent that has no reversal moves and you might even be able to combo off the extra frames you get from landing it meaty.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:33, 26 May 2006 (CDT)


====Crouching HK====
Your run of the mill sweep. Very decent range and startup speed. Safe on block, which is more than I can say for shoto sweeps. As good as this move is in the range speed and knockdown departments, if you're like me you'll often opt for something more elaborate. However, you're mostl likely not like me, and once you use this move you'll notice how good it is and keep at it.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:33, 26 May 2006 (CDT)


Her slide can be useful, as if you are at a distance, it can leave you safe-you can snuff them out of fireballs, or if they jump at you, you travel a distance to reposition yourself. (credit to GeeseHoward)
=== Groove Selection ===
'''Best - C/A:''' These Grooves benefit King in allowing her to roll, and actually spend her super bar. C-King is likely her best overall Groove. Her level 2 Silent Flash is her only usable super, and does good damage for cheap when level 2 cancelled with HK Trap Shot at the end. Although the only viable way to land it is to roll directly next to them and blindly unleash it, this works well with King's inherent roll-throw game. The opponent has to guess whether they want to stay blocking and get thrown, or try to respond with an attack or throw break, and then eat the invincible super. And the level 2 being hard to punish on block makes the risk-reward quite favorable. The move also allows King to threaten a reversal more often. Other C-Groove mechanics like Alpha Counter give her a defensive option, and Airblock lets her be safer in the air. A-King gets a lot of the same mechanics, and now has the ability to spend her bar on a Custom Combo instead. A-King's CC is fairly damaging, and can easily be done as a follow-up after her various specials, allowing her punishes to be a lot scarier. Sacrificing reversal super potential for reversal CC potential is your own choice however.  


====Crouching MP====
'''Useful - N:''' N-King gets a lot more mobility and the potential for mix-ups. Both small jump and running allow her to maintain pressure much easier and will compensate for her bad poking game. Overall the mechanics of N-Groove benefit King more greatly than other grooves, but its flaw is that it removes any chance of her cashing out her meter for damage. Level 1 Silent Flash just has poor invincibility, and while Level 3 can be strong, you still have to blindly unleash it from neutral, and it will be much more painful than the level 2 if you chose wrong. Her meter may even be best spent just popping a stock for the power increase. Though don't forget about Guard Cancel Rolls, which are amazingly effective for King. Not high damage for the meter cost, but usually guaranteed damage considering her roll speed. But aside from meter woes, she has everything else she needs in N-Groove. N-King is a stable character to throw on point, and can help benefit everyone after her.
Only really good as a meaty move. On counterhit +4 frames but no moves to let you combo off of it. So meaty is the answer to get those extra frames, and with the right setups can lead to good damage.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:33, 26 May 2006 (CDT)


====Crouching HP====
'''Worst - S/K/P:''' These are all absolutely terrible for King, making her lose access to her best tool, her roll, and also giving her 0 methods for spending her super bar. S-Groove and K-Groove at least give her the rushdown options of N, but without a roll it's just not as good. S-Groove's main tools of dodge and free supers just don't work for King. Her dodge doesn't work better than anyone else's, and her standard roll already gave her a better dodge-like function anyway. And for her supers she'll never get in their face to actually land one, and since they're so punishable on block trying to spam them on low health will just get her killed immediately. K-King and P-King have the same issue with never having any chance to get in range to actually use a super. K-King's Just Defend doesn't particularly help via building meter, nor does it give her great punishes. Similarly, P-Groove characters have to have solid meterless punishes to really excel. King doesn't even have solid metered punishes. P-King gets almost nothing that she needs to succeed: no rolls, no running, no supers, and even worse health and guard bar percentage. In exchange, she gets parries, which are incredibly bad risk-reward for a character with no damage. There's basically zero reason to play P-King.
Good for stopping crossups. it's not as good an anti air as Standing HK hitbox-wise, but it works as a great substitute when your opponent is too close and you could risk getting Close standing HK by accident (as is the case with crossups).--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:33, 26 May 2006 (CDT)


====Standing HK====
{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses
A very good anti-air normal. Has great vertical range.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:33, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
|intro=
---------------------------
'''King''' is a neutral and zoning oriented character, though multiple flaws hold her back from being successful at this. King is often regarded as a bottom tier character, right above Dan and Kyosuke, and is rarely seen even in low level play. King's best Grooves are '''C-Groove, A-Groove, and N-Groove'''.


== Special Moves ==
'''Difficulty''': Medium<br>'''Tier''': D
====Venom Strike: qcf+k====
|pros=
A generic projectile/fireball attack. The kick strength defines the speed of the projectile. Like most projectiles it is a good way to attack from far away, but is extremely vulnerable if jumped over. Doing it at close quarters (best when RC'd) affords your opponent less time to react and jump. At a distance King can run (depending on groove) behind the fireball which will provide her with some cover. King will actually CATCH UP to the lk version of the projectile, making it even possible to combo in some situations. This is no different than Ryu's Hadouken, it's actually very similar.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:10, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
* '''Simple:''' King is very easy to play and execute, and her overall gameplan is straightforward
* '''Safe:''' Thanks to 236236K Double Strike and especially 63214K Mirage Kicks, King can maintain decent safety on block
* '''Normals:''' She has a few good normals for poking and anti-air, like 2MK, 5HK, 2HK, and 3HK
* '''Roll:''' King has a very short and fast roll, making it a great escape, though the shortness limits the use as an approach tool a-la Iori
|cons=
* '''Low Health:''' King has very low health, meaning she loses rounds very quickly
* '''No Reversal:''' Without roll cancel or at least a level 2 super, King has no reversal to use to escape pressure
* '''Low Damage:''' Even with meter stored, King's supers aren't high damage and are hard to land, and meterless punishes do very little overall
* '''No Mixups:''' Unless you have a run and hop Groove, King lacks any solid mixup except her strike/throw, which isn't very good overall
* '''Roll Reliant:''' King needs her roll, whether just for it's strength or for roll cancelling her various specials that require RC to be useful. This limits her to Grooves that have roll heavily
}}


====Double Strike: qcf, qcf+k====
=== Players to Watch ===
A double projectile attack. Two Venom Strikes in quick succession. Good in combos and for block damage. Hard to RC through with moves such as Psycho Crusher and Flying Headbutt.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:10, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
{| class="wikitable"
====Surprise Rose: dp+k====
|-
An upwards knee attack that knocks an opponent up followed by downwards diving kicks. A 4 frame startup makes this her fastest htting special move, but the lack of any invincibility makes it useless in reversal situations. It serves mainly as a juggle after Mirage Kicks, Trap Shots and 1-hit Tornado Kicks on a cornered oponent.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:10, 26 May 2006 (CDT)

|}


====Trap Shot: rdp+k====
<br><br>
A backflip kick that stuns/traps an opponent (even if hit in the air) with a guaranteed followup barrage of kicks. Knocks down. A decent anti-air when RC'd, but the lengthy startup requires you to be quite fast to react.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:10, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
====Tornado Kick: hcb+k====
Two airborne kicks. The first one will miss on crouching characters. The startup speed and distance of the kicks is defined by the strength of the kick used. The frame disadvantage on block is quite small (-2 on lk, -1 on mk and 0 on hk)and allows for some very tricky guessing games. Good bait. Once you've punished a few retaliation attempts this becomes less of a bait/setup move and more of a consistent way of getting close (when RC'd).--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:10, 26 May 2006 (CDT)


====Mirage Kick: qcb+p====
Several kicks while sliding forward a short distance. Three, five or seven kicks depending on which button was pressed. The last one knocks down. Usually used in combos but also a good move to go through expected pokes. It is unsafe and risky, however, the final kick of this move makes it tricky. The delay before the final kick will snag people that are too late trying to punish with non-invincible moves. Depending on the range the pushback will either allow the last kick to connect or make it miss. If the final kick is blocked you are somewhat safe because of the big pushback.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:10, 26 May 2006 (CDT)


== Super Moves ==
'''!!!THIS PAGE IS STILL A WIP. IF YOU NEED FRAME DATA NOW, REFER TO THE CVS2 BIBLE OR LOOK THROUGH EDIT HISTORY TO FIND THE LAST EDIT CONTAINING FRAME DATA IF THERE WAS ONE!!!'''
====Illusion Dance: qcf, hcb+k====
A lengthy backflip/evasive movement followed by a flying kick. Once the kick connects a combo is performed. If it is blocked there will be no combo but a lengthy recovery. Useful at level 1 as a CC ender. If anyone has a good use for this outside a CC, do tell.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:10, 26 May 2006 (CDT)
====Silent Flash: qcb, qcb+k====
A backflip kick that looks like the start of the Trap Shot. If the first one hits the super is finished. If it is blocked the level 1 and level 2 versions will stop and are safe to ''some'' extent due to pushback, but the level 3 version will PARTIALLY continue.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 05:10, 26 May 2006 (CDT)

== Normal Moves ==
To win matches you have to do damage. You have to punish mistakes and punish them hard. You gotta make your opponent make mistakes. Now to explain how to do both those things.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 06:52, 26 May 2006 (CDT)

c.lk, s.lk/c.lk xx LK Trap Shot or Silent Flash. You'll get one or the other because Capcom is lame. Since they're being way too lenient with input qcb, d, db+k IS SILENT FLASH! that's right, and I don't mean negative edging it by releasing the kick once I'm at back, no I mean exactly what I said there. It's annoying to say the least since it can cost you meter when you did not intend to use it. If you're cleaner with your execution than I am and can get d+lk, b, d+lk, db+lk consistently then good for you. If not, then try b+lp, b+lp, d, db+lk on biggies.

All of these require you to be very close to your opponent. And you usually don't get there for free, so train and memorize these, but combos alone won't get you far. Before moving on I'd just like to mention that comboing does not necisarilly have to be hitconfirmed, there's a few blind-man combos you can do that do good damage and can allways be done without much worrying about retaliation.

A followup to Mirage Kicks outside the corner would be LK Venom Strike, it will hit very meaty in the back of the neck. Run (where available) after it and if for some reason your opponent gets hit you can combo a c.mk into whatever you like, even Tornado Kicks since like most projectiles it stands the opponent up. Don't expect it to hit too often, but it pins them down long enough for a c.mk or even a c.hk to eat a chunk of guard bar. Another option would be to use HK Tornado Kicks as a followup to cover tech rolls. If you do catch their tech roll and their in the corner you can juggle with Surprise Rose since only the last hit of the Tornado Kicks connected.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 06:52, 26 May 2006 (CDT)

Running after a Venom Strike from far away (use sparingly as it's very vulnerable when predicted) It's important to be on your toes once you've done this since it's essential to react to what your opponent does. If he rolls you can punsh with c.mk xx HP Mirage Kicks. If he (or she, omg sexy girl gamers!!1one)jumps then AA as you please.

Roll. Rolling under a jumpin is fantastic. It only takes an instant to perform and is invincible. The roll distance isn't much and if you see them use an airborne move you might be able to trip them into c.mk xx HP Mirage Kicks since they will not have tripguard when they land. You must think I suck after seeing me list RC's under advanced and advising against RC Trap Shot, and now also advocation roll spammage.

===Mixups===
== Command Normals ==
Say what now? King? Mixups? For sheezy. If for some ungodly reason you end RIGHT next to your opponent and the situation lends itself for you to stick out a c.lp or c.lk you now have initiative! Frame advantage is not synonymous with initiative, but you'll often find that once you've done ANYTHING that directly affects your opponent's character you have the opportunity to get behind the steering wheel. That is my definition of initiative. You do so by knowing your options at every turn and every corner. And once you have it you should try to never let it go. The easiest way to keep things in your hands is to mix things up and mix up AGAIN if you guess right. Not every character's combos can lead to another mixup and even if they can often their alternative options will not. I think this is what seperates momentum characters from the ones that rely on more 'neutral' situations.

So once you have landed a c.lp you are in the position to either throw (tick throw) or counterhit close s.hp into HK Double Strike. The input for this is not as hard as it seems, because you can do qcf, f+hp, qcf+hk. The counterhit will mean this is quite a damaging combo and only 3 hits. Omg King is buff! So there's a mixups right there you can try if you're up close and personal.

I've spoken briefly about using a meaty c.mp to setup combos. Setups for this include a landed level1 Silent Flash followed by LK Tornado Kicks into c.mp. But of course any knockdown works if you can get the timing right. The setups jsut make it easier. Another setup is after a punch throw INTO CORNER, cover tech rolls with HK Tornado Kicks int c.mp. The mixup part comes into play when they start to reversal you, then you can keep your stick in down-back and transition to a throw as a simple mixup.

If you have access to lowjump you can try for lj.hk into Surprise Rose or Silent Flash if you see the hit coming and since that is so hard to AA they'll start blocking it. Now you can empty lowjump into c.lk into whatever combo you want.
== Special Moves ==


Roll is your friend. If you're trying to land c.lk/c.lp x2 xx LK Trap Shot and the two lk/lp get blocked you could expect a poke back since a lot of ppl like to mash the instant they see a possible opening/hole in your offense. If you stick a roll in after two lk/lp you will cross them up, and even if their poke was just a lk/lp it'll be hard to react to the crossup. Meaning you can try a more risky punishment like close s.mk into Mirage Kicks or Trap Shot. And if you're playing in N groove (bless your soul) and have a stock open you can follow with a "random" and risky level 3 Silent Flash. If they weren't blocking before the freeze, they will eat it.--[[User:Zenfire|Zenfire]] 07:29, 26 May 2006 (CDT)

Also, another thing you can do (as with most characters with this ability) is hop (dash) over dead bodies, and add that to your mix-up game. s.k, s.k into QCB + P works, as well as into S. Trap Shot. Just make sure you dont actually do the Silent Flash instead. Her dash is also pretty good in of itself, as its pretty quick.  (credit to GeeseHoward)

Yes, and I don't mean reversal roll. You can combo a traded level 1 Silent Flash if your back is to the wall (literally). You'll get a flip animation and your opponent will still be stunened when you land ad you can continue into almost anything you want.

Introduction

CVS2 King Data.png

Story

King is a highly skilled Muay Thai fighter, who defeated a legendary Muay Thai champion early on in her life. She often dresses masculine, originally to disguise herself since women are not traditionally allowed in Muay Thai competitions, but also so that she will be taken seriously and respected as a fighter. King mostly took to fighting in the streets for money, as she needed to save for a surgery her little brother needed on his legs, but was defeated and humiliated by Jack Turner and his gang, who brought her to Mr. Big. At the time, Mr. Big was the crime lord of South Town, and employed King to be a bouncer at his bar. King would eventually find herself hired by Geese to kidnap Yuri Sakazaki in order to hurt the Sakazaki dojo. Once Ryo defeated her, and found out she was a woman, she told him about her need for money. Ryo convinced her to help him defeat Geese, and she agreed, freeing Yuri as well.

King nowadays fights in the various King of Fighter's tournaments, and is the founder of the popular Team Women Fighters, an all-female team of strong fighters. She befriended her previous victim Yuri, and those two made quick friends with Andy's girlfriend Mai Shiranui, forming the basis of the original team. King developed a deep crush on Ryo as well after he defeated her. In between tournaments, she runs a bar called the Illusion, with her two twin barmaids Sally and Elizabeth.

Gameplay

King is regarded as a weak character in CvS2. She was originally considered very bottom tier with Kyosuke and Dan, but is now seen as one level above, along the same lines as Yuri, Athena, Benimaru, etc. Despite this, she does have some good tools, like one of the best rolls in the game. What holds King down is having lackluster neutral pokes, no meterless reversal, low health, and low damage with no easy way to convert quick attacks into combos. Her mixup game is very basic, being almost entirely strike/throw with her normal throws and 2LK. Her only good move for resetting pressure can be interrupted mid-way, severely limiting its use against opponents who aren't unfamiliar with the match. And furthermore her supers are all terrible. They are all hard to properly connect with, cannot reasonably ever be comboed into, and easily punishable on block. Most Groove choices will have King sitting on her super bar for the entire match, never able to actually use it.

King has a few noteworthy strengths, namely her roll. She has the fastest roll speed in the game, and with an animation that makes it somewhat hard to know it's happening. Rolling directly into the opponent gives her a strong strike/throw game, and it also serves as a way to dodge and counter any poke attempt from the opponent. She also has a very strong anti-air game, with her 5HK cleanly beating out all but the very best jump attacks, and her 2HP to hit anyone jumping in deeper. She can also simply roll against any air opponent, guaranteed to avoid any attack they tried to, and then just punish them as they land.

Unfortunately, it's hard to convince an opponent why they should jump or risk any approach at all when they probably have better and longer neutral buttons than King. Her 236K Venom Strike fireball is simply standard, meaning it's quite easy to react to and punish in neutral. And while her 236236K Double Strike shoots two fireballs out and is great for fireball wars, its increased animation time and recovery make it horrendous to use in neutral. Roll Cancel also does not benefit King much at all, since all her specials are highly punishable on block. While you could use them simply to do an invincible counter-poke, a regular roll probably would've gotten you better results with much less risk.

Of particularly note is that she is inherently weak against K-Groove. Her multi-hit specials, especially with a corner Surprise Rose extension, will fill up the K-Groove bar almost instantly despite doing little overall damage. The K-Groove opponent can easily rage three or four times during a match. It's not uncommon to bait their level 3, punish them for it, and watch their meter fill up to full again when the combo ends. Be prepared to spend most of the match fighting fully-raged opponents.

King's biggest weakness is patient, defensive opponents, as she has a hard time maintaining attack pressure and moving into her desired attack range in general. But her biggest strength may be simply that everyone underestimates her and nobody else really tries to play her, so you can easily knowledge-check opponents who have zero idea how to do the matchup.


Groove Selection

Best - C/A: These Grooves benefit King in allowing her to roll, and actually spend her super bar. C-King is likely her best overall Groove. Her level 2 Silent Flash is her only usable super, and does good damage for cheap when level 2 cancelled with HK Trap Shot at the end. Although the only viable way to land it is to roll directly next to them and blindly unleash it, this works well with King's inherent roll-throw game. The opponent has to guess whether they want to stay blocking and get thrown, or try to respond with an attack or throw break, and then eat the invincible super. And the level 2 being hard to punish on block makes the risk-reward quite favorable. The move also allows King to threaten a reversal more often. Other C-Groove mechanics like Alpha Counter give her a defensive option, and Airblock lets her be safer in the air. A-King gets a lot of the same mechanics, and now has the ability to spend her bar on a Custom Combo instead. A-King's CC is fairly damaging, and can easily be done as a follow-up after her various specials, allowing her punishes to be a lot scarier. Sacrificing reversal super potential for reversal CC potential is your own choice however.

Useful - N: N-King gets a lot more mobility and the potential for mix-ups. Both small jump and running allow her to maintain pressure much easier and will compensate for her bad poking game. Overall the mechanics of N-Groove benefit King more greatly than other grooves, but its flaw is that it removes any chance of her cashing out her meter for damage. Level 1 Silent Flash just has poor invincibility, and while Level 3 can be strong, you still have to blindly unleash it from neutral, and it will be much more painful than the level 2 if you chose wrong. Her meter may even be best spent just popping a stock for the power increase. Though don't forget about Guard Cancel Rolls, which are amazingly effective for King. Not high damage for the meter cost, but usually guaranteed damage considering her roll speed. But aside from meter woes, she has everything else she needs in N-Groove. N-King is a stable character to throw on point, and can help benefit everyone after her.

Worst - S/K/P: These are all absolutely terrible for King, making her lose access to her best tool, her roll, and also giving her 0 methods for spending her super bar. S-Groove and K-Groove at least give her the rushdown options of N, but without a roll it's just not as good. S-Groove's main tools of dodge and free supers just don't work for King. Her dodge doesn't work better than anyone else's, and her standard roll already gave her a better dodge-like function anyway. And for her supers she'll never get in their face to actually land one, and since they're so punishable on block trying to spam them on low health will just get her killed immediately. K-King and P-King have the same issue with never having any chance to get in range to actually use a super. K-King's Just Defend doesn't particularly help via building meter, nor does it give her great punishes. Similarly, P-Groove characters have to have solid meterless punishes to really excel. King doesn't even have solid metered punishes. P-King gets almost nothing that she needs to succeed: no rolls, no running, no supers, and even worse health and guard bar percentage. In exchange, she gets parries, which are incredibly bad risk-reward for a character with no damage. There's basically zero reason to play P-King.

King is a neutral and zoning oriented character, though multiple flaws hold her back from being successful at this. King is often regarded as a bottom tier character, right above Dan and Kyosuke, and is rarely seen even in low level play. King's best Grooves are C-Groove, A-Groove, and N-Groove.

Difficulty: Medium
Tier: D
Pros Cons
  • Simple: King is very easy to play and execute, and her overall gameplan is straightforward
  • Safe: Thanks to 236236K Double Strike and especially 63214K Mirage Kicks, King can maintain decent safety on block
  • Normals: She has a few good normals for poking and anti-air, like 2MK, 5HK, 2HK, and 3HK
  • Roll: King has a very short and fast roll, making it a great escape, though the shortness limits the use as an approach tool a-la Iori
  • Low Health: King has very low health, meaning she loses rounds very quickly
  • No Reversal: Without roll cancel or at least a level 2 super, King has no reversal to use to escape pressure
  • Low Damage: Even with meter stored, King's supers aren't high damage and are hard to land, and meterless punishes do very little overall
  • No Mixups: Unless you have a run and hop Groove, King lacks any solid mixup except her strike/throw, which isn't very good overall
  • Roll Reliant: King needs her roll, whether just for it's strength or for roll cancelling her various specials that require RC to be useful. This limits her to Grooves that have roll heavily

I decent meaty projectile or for fullscreen fireball wars, good push back. Works similar to a double reppuken, but both projectiles will travel.

A pretty safe normal and roll cancel special, 1st hit can be ducked. Can combo on standing opponents and can lead to custom combos on hit.

Mainly used as a CC ender, the long start up and dash back make this super very hard to use practically. Can cross up Blanka in some set ups.

A decent super at level 1 and 2 for wake up and after a roll, very little combobility for max damage. Level 1 trades leads to combos.
