King
In a nutshell
King is one of the more zoning characters in XIII due to her strong normals, but she has the tools to press the advantage on a knockdown. Her j.D is now more relevant from a hop, her hitconfirms are easy, and with meter she has some of the strongest antiair options. Overall King requires a good knowledge of controlling space with normals, the caution to apply passive-aggressive rushdown, and solid blocking fundamentals to find a way out of enemy rushdown.

Basic Strategy
Defense
- King has the normals to control the hop space in front of her, tools to antiair full jumps, good air-to-airs, and then Venom Strike (qcf+K) to control the ground.
- Venom Strike is easy to jump over if throw out predictably - however, because of this it is easy to bait the opponent into jumping, and that's where you use the appropriate antiair to hit them. Once they respect your air control and become cautious of jumping, you can use Venom Strike to control the ground space and force them to deal with it another way.
- Far C serves as an antiair, preventive jump check, and long poke against standing opponents. However it will completely whiff on crouchers and loses to lows.
- cr.C is King's best normal against full jumps. If the opponent outspaces you or uses a jump-in from a well-spaced angle, you may have to adjust to a different move. Far D's tip covers a unique angle that far C may miss, and it's worth noting that her df+D slide can completely go under and meaty many jumping normals. Meeting the opponent in the air from below j.B usually wins, and j.CD can serve this purpose although the startup is slower. When in doubt, EX Trap Shot (DP+BD) will beat everything clean.
- Other than getting hopped on, King has a 'weak spot' just outside her cr.B range. Her sweep is slow and short and loses to hops and df+D is too slow and would be unsafe from this range and far C/D would whiff if the opponent is crouching here. st.CD can help cover this gap, as well as Venom Strike or taking a risk to move forward for a cr.B/st.B. Be aware of this range.
Offense
- King plays more of a passive aggressive offense in that she doesn't have a really threatening high/low mixup like Kyo or K', but she makes up for that in blockstring pressure and keeping the opponent cornered where her combos hurt the most.
- Her basic blockstring of cr.B cr.B st.B df+D xx Venom Strike works well against opponents with no meter, but df.D can be guardrolled and punished if canceled into Venom Strike. If df+D is uncanceled, prepare to be punished from it hitting too deep. The solution is to use this series just enough to be able to condition the opponent to be watching for it, then vary up your blockstrings to bait guardrolls.
- Once cornered, King has the threat of her HD combo, extra damage from all of her combos, less room for the opponent to space their hop/jump making it easier to antiair, and easier setups for guardbreaks.
- King's j.D now has more startup and hitstun, allowing you to use it earlier in a jump while still having time to combo afterward. Note that it can't be used as an instant overhead anymore.
