== Story ==
== Story ==
'''Kim Kaphwan''' is a Korean Tae Kwon Do master. He is strict, and has a deep love for the idea of justice through learning martial arts. He had been the reigning champion of the martial art for quite some time when he was invited to the second King of Fighter's tournament, hosted by Wolfgang Krauser. He ended up losing to Terry, and openly admitted Terry to be a better fighter than him. Since then, the two have maintained a healthy rivalry/friendship, with Kim frequently staying in South Town to aid Terry in whatever adventures he has going on. Kim eventually has two sons, who become his future students as seen in Garou: Mark of the Wolves. One day, Kim saw that a rampage had started when Chang Koehan had escaped from prison and none of the police could stop him. Kim, enraged at this, went to fight Chang himself. During their fight, Choi Bounge jumped out to help Chang. Even in a 2 vs 1 against two convicted serial killers who even the police couldn't stop, Kim dispatched the two with ease. Seeing the potential in his power, Kim began his infamous Rehabilitation Project, where he would take wanted criminals and teach them about Tae Kwon Do and his strict, justice-based worldview.

Kim is a rushdown oriented character with solid mobility and some good tools for pressure. His combos are simple and fairly reliable, though many of his specials require you to charge which can limit how he does them. He has great tools for playing neutral as well, between some solid close-range pokes, his [4]6K Ryuseiraku slide that hits low, and some great anti-airs like his [2]8K Hienzan flash kicks. 214K Hangetsuzan is a fairly annoying flip kick special that jumps into the air and gets Kim in, and his j.236K Hishokyaku divekicks are useful multi-hitting divekicks as well. He has a very unique special in 22K Hakikyaku, a low hitting stomp that can super cancel for big damage combos.

He has a very unique special in 22K Hakikyaku, a low hitting stomp that can super cancel for big damage combos.


Kim even has a stance by doing 5HK or 22HK and then holding HK, with 5 different possible followups for the opponent to deal with. Setting it up over a knocked down opponent is a powerful way to use it, or even just threatening it after a blocked 5HK/22HK. However, what truly makes Kim as viable as he is would be his infinite. His 236236K Ho-o Hitenkyaku super launches the opponent for juggles, and by cancelling the level 2 version into a 22HK Hakikyaku, activating stance, and then kara-cancelling the stance LP into another 22HK, you can infinitely juggle them in the corner. With Kim's great rushdown ability, putting them in the corner isn't too hard, and if you can land this consistently you'll absolutely be stealing rounds. It isn't easy or damaging however, and you have to be in C-Groove with at least 2 bars of meter, limiting how you use it immensely.

'''Best - C:''' As stated above, C-Kim is the only Kim that can reliably access the infinite. This immediately puts C-Kim above the rest, as being able to perform the infinite is required at a high level. C-Kim does get other useful tools in general however, like an airblock to make his approach safer and a roll for RC specials. Kim's RC Hangetsuzan and RC Ryuseiraku can be very annoying in some situations. Consistent access to meter helps him in general as well, as it allows him to more often end combos in big damage and a knockdown without having charge. C-Kim doesn't get run or hop, but Kim has fine enough mixups and offense to live without them, though they definitely help. Even without the infinite, C-Kim is strong, and having consistent access to the infinite makes him even better.

'''Useful - A/N/K:''' If the stomp infinite was more easily available, A-Kim would likely outrank C-Kim. A-Kim actually has very good synergy with CC as a whole, and his CC does pretty good damage overall. He maintains all of the things C-Kim has except airblock as well. Sadly, you can't end a CC in the infinite (if you could, A-Kim would likely be a top tier), meaning it loses out to C-Kim overall. N-Kim gets more mobility for rushdown, and one of the better guard cancel rolls thanks to his fast roll. While ending in a level 1 super doesn't do much damage, being able to end in level 1 Ho-okyaku consistently helps Kim convert more often without charge. His level 1 Ho-o Tenbukyaku divekick super is great at calling out anti-airs and air-to-airs, however a level 1 Ho-o Hitenkyaku is essentially useless. K-Kim gets run and hop, but also gets a huge damage buff when in Rage, making his offense even scarier. A stomp cancelled into level 3 Ho-okyaku will do great damage, and level 3 Hitenkyaku allows for juggles afterward for high damage. Still, big damage doesn't match to an infinite, leaving K-Kim by the wayside.

* '''Mixup:''' Kim naturally has solid mixup potential, with his Nerichagi overhead command and a great crossup, but adding in his stance makes it even better, where he can go between 5 different stance moves to beat out whatever the opponent does or even just reset back into stance

* '''Supers:''' Kim has three useful supers, between his j.2363214K divekick super, a powerful launcher super in 236236K, and his 22K stomp cancels into his 21416K super for huge damage potential
* '''Supers:''' Kim has three useful supers, between his j.2363214K divekick super, a powerful launcher super in 236236K, and his 22K stomp cancels into his 21416K super for huge damage potential
* '''Infinite:''' His defining trait is his cornered stomp infinite in C-Groove, which is difficult to do but will kill any character if he gets a solid enough hit. It's performed by doing 236236MK super, cancelling that into 22HK, activating stance from 22HK, doing stance LP, and cancelling stance LP's startup into another 22HK, looping the stance cancel multiple times until ending in a level 3 21416K super to kill them

* '''Charge Reliant:''' Kim wants to be aggressive, but has to maintain charge while doing so, limiting how he can end his combos with knockdown
* '''Low damage:''' Kim mainly pokes and tries to land level 3. Many moves need to be close or can't be comboed into, making his damage output not great in addition to very average damage supers and bad level 2 cancels outside of corner
* '''Zoning:''' Kim can't zone out any opponents, and even moreso he struggles to deal with solid zoning himself sometimes
* '''Zoning:''' Kim can't zone out any opponents, and even moreso he struggles to deal with solid zoning himself sometimes
* '''Infinite Reliant:''' Kim really just wants to land his infinite most of the time, and that requires that the opponent be in the corner and that Kim has 2 bars of meter. This makes it a bit more situational, as opponents will play around not getting cornered. The infinite is very difficult as well, and can sometimes be dropped by a poorly timed stun or just misinputting, leaving Kim without meter and having to play the waiting game for another level 2
* '''Unsafe specials:''' Kim main guard damage tool qcb+k is punishable on block and hit depending on spacing, HK version being the easiest to punish, with LK being generally safe. Bad spacing can lead to being punished for big damage. Charge b~f+k also has a big gap between hits for punishes, can't be comboed into, and very negative on block, only safe by spacing (fast supers will hit)

Introduction

CVS2 Kim Data.png

Story

Kim Kaphwan is a Korean Tae Kwon Do master. He is strict, and has a deep love for the idea of justice through learning martial arts. He had been the reigning champion of the martial art for quite some time when he was invited to the King of Fighters tournament, hosted by Wolfgang Krauser. He ended up losing to Terry, and openly admitted Terry to be a better fighter than him. Since then, the two have maintained a healthy rivalry/friendship, with Kim frequently staying in South Town to aid Terry in whatever adventures he has going on. Kim eventually has two sons, who become his future students as seen in Garou: Mark of the Wolves. One day, Kim saw that a rampage had started when Chang Koehan had escaped from prison and none of the police could stop him. Kim, enraged at this, went to fight Chang himself. During their fight, Choi Bounge jumped out to help Chang. Even in a 2 vs 1 against two convicted serial killers who even the police couldn't stop, Kim dispatched the two with ease. Seeing the potential in his power, Kim began his infamous Rehabilitation Project, where he would take wanted criminals and teach them about Tae Kwon Do and his strict, justice-based worldview.

Gameplay

Kim is a rushdown oriented character with solid mobility and some good tools for pressure. His combos are simple and fairly reliable, but some are punishable even on hit and many of his specials require you to charge which can limit how he does them. He has great tools for playing neutral as well, between some solid close-range pokes, his [4]6K Ryuseiraku slide that hits low, and some great anti-airs like his [2]8K Hienzan flash kicks. 214K Hangetsuzan is a fairly annoying flip kick special that jumps into the air and gets Kim in, and his j.236K Hishokyaku divekicks are useful multi-hitting divekicks as well. He has a very unique special in 22K Hakikyaku, a low hitting stomp that can super cancel for big damage combos.

Kim even has a stance by doing 5HK or 22HK and then holding HK, with 5 different possible followups for the opponent to deal with. Setting it up over a knocked down opponent is a powerful way to use it, or even just threatening it after a blocked 5HK/22HK. However, what truly makes Kim as viable as he is would be his infinite. His 236236K Ho-o Hitenkyaku super launches the opponent for juggles, and by cancelling the level 2 version into a 22HK Hakikyaku, activating stance, and then kara-cancelling the stance LP into another 22HK, you can infinitely juggle them in the corner. With Kim's great rushdown ability, putting them in the corner isn't too hard, and if you can land this consistently you'll absolutely be stealing rounds. It isn't easy or damaging however, and you have to be in C-Groove with at least 2 bars of meter, limiting how you use it immensely.

Groove Selection

Best - C: As stated above, C-Kim is the only Kim that can reliably access the infinite. This immediately puts C-Kim above the rest (if you can execute it), as being able to perform the infinite is required at a high level. C-Kim does get other useful tools in general however, like an airblock to make his approach safer and a roll for RC specials. Kim's RC Hangetsuzan and RC Ryuseiraku can be very annoying in some situations. Consistent access to meter helps him in general as well, as it allows him to more often end combos in big damage and a knockdown without having charge. C-Kim doesn't get run or hop, but Kim has fine enough mixups and offense to live without them, though they definitely help. Even without the infinite, C-Kim is strong, and having consistent access to the infinite makes him even better. Keep in mind most of the cast need to be standing to get the infinite started.

Useful - A/N/K: If the stomp infinite was more easily available, A-Kim would likely outrank C-Kim. A-Kim actually has very good synergy with CC as a whole, and his CC does pretty good damage overall. He maintains all of the things C-Kim has except airblock as well. Sadly, you can't end a CC in the infinite (if you could, A-Kim would likely be a top tier), meaning it loses out to C-Kim overall. N-Kim gets more mobility for rushdown, and one of the better guard cancel rolls thanks to his fast roll. While ending in a level 1 super doesn't do much damage, being able to end in level 1 Ho-okyaku consistently helps Kim convert more often without charge. His level 1 Ho-o Tenbukyaku divekick super is great at calling out anti-airs and air-to-airs, however a level 1 Ho-o Hitenkyaku is essentially useless. K-Kim gets run and hop, but also gets a huge damage buff when in Rage, making his offense even scarier. A stomp cancelled into level 3 Ho-okyaku will do great damage, and level 3 Hitenkyaku allows for juggles afterward for high damage. Still, big damage doesn't match to an infinite, leaving K-Kim by the wayside.

Worst - P/S: P-Kim sounds alright on paper, but you have to give up charge in order to parry, meaining he rarely has a worthwhile meterless punish. In the rare instances he has meter, a level 3 super will do good damage, but it isn't an infinite. S-Kim has to give up neutral presence in order to charge for meter he really needs, and even then, a level 1 Kim super just isn't as threatening in neutral. S-Kim does get the ability to end with a solid knockdown and damage without charge every time when in Desperation, but it isn't as powerful as other S-Groove characters can be.

Kim is a rushdown and mixup character defined by his solid normals, good pressure and mixup ability, and his C-Groove infinite combo. He requires a lot of practice, and has to make his opponent get to the corner while maintaining at least a level 2 super meter, but if he does he can end a round immediatelly. Kim is best in C-Groove.

Difficulty: Medium
Tier: B+
Pros Cons
  • Aggression: Kim has lots of tools to keep himself in close range, or get into close range from a bit farther out
  • Neutral: He has a few solid pokes overall, and multiple good anti-airs to keep the opponent from freely moving around
  • Mixup: Kim naturally has solid mixup potential, with his Nerichagi overhead command and a great crossup, but adding in his stance makes it even better, where he can go between 5 different stance moves to beat out whatever the opponent does or even just reset back into stance
  • Supers: Kim has three useful supers, between his j.2363214K divekick super, a powerful launcher super in 236236K, and his 22K stomp cancels into his 21416K super for huge damage potential
  • Infinite: His defining trait is his cornered stomp infinite in C-Groove, which is difficult to do but will kill any character if he gets a solid enough hit. It's performed by doing 236236MK super, cancelling that into 22HK, activating stance from 22HK, doing stance LP, and cancelling stance LP's startup into another 22HK, looping the stance cancel multiple times until ending in a level 3 21416K super to kill them, making his comeback potential in C very high
  • Low damage: Kim mainly pokes and tries to land level 3. Many moves need to be close or can't be comboed into, making his damage output not great in addition to very average damage supers and bad level 2 cancels outside of corner
  • Zoning: Kim can't zone out any opponents, and even moreso he struggles to deal with solid zoning himself sometimes
  • Unsafe specials: Kim main guard damage tool qcb+k is punishable on block and hit depending on spacing, HK version being the easiest to punish, with LK being generally safe. Bad spacing can lead to being punished for big damage. Charge b~f+k also has a big gap between hits for punishes, can't be comboed into, and very negative on block, only safe by spacing (fast supers will hit)



Players to Watch

Name Country Groove Accounts Notes
Tetsu Japan C-Groove N/A Great Kim player. Lands the infinite with ease.
Sample Match
Towel Japan C-Groove Twitter: @TowelManX Very dominant player, plays great footsies and applies even better pressure.
Sample Match
masathu Japan A-Groove N/A A low tier hero of sorts, but Kim is definitely his strongest character.
Sample Match
Leezy USA K-Groove N/A Among Norcal's sea of K-Groovers, Leezy is arguably the best of them. His Kim is absolutely terrifying with great use of shorthops and stagger pressure to make him a surprisingly oppressive character.

One of the worst specials Kim has, with slow start up and easily countered. Can surprise an opponent on occasion and hits low, but hug gap between hits and punishable on block. Mostly safe on block due to spacing only.

A cartwheel attack with good damage and guard damage. The first hits whiffs on most characters that crouch for mk and hk versions. It's important to know when to use these attack, since done too close both the mk and hk versions are very punishable on hit or blow by normals and fast supers. When spaced only fast super will hit, the lk version is safe, but only combos from close. Smart use of this can cause high damage to an opponent's guard.

A low-hitting stomp that is safe on hit and block. The HK version has special properties of being able to be canceled into rush super or stance (hold hk).

This move is the key to his infinite in the corner by kara canceling lp follow up from HK stomp stance into another stomp.

Kim's main bread and butter for landing damage through counter hit lights or after a guard break. Not extremely powerful, but extremely versatile, able to combo from max range s.lk for lvl 2/3 and being a great punish tool for unsafe moves on block or anti air.

The part starter in C-groove and optimal A-groove ender for grounded combos. This move is good anti-air at level 2 and 3. Landing a level 1 in the corner allows for juggle combos with dive kicks and air super.

In C-groove landing a level 2 will start his infinite. In A-groove, it allows triple dive kick post combo for damage and meter build.
