Kim's ff.a does not hit crouchers, so avoid using it in strings where the opponent is crouching. However, if you do accidentally do it, the actual hitbox of the attack sticks out for a really long time, so an opponent may miss the somewhat small window on the punish, since as soon as kim stops skidding he can act again. | Kim's ff.a does not hit crouchers, so avoid using it in strings where the opponent is crouching.

Kim's ff.a travels a significant distance when its not done as part of a combo or it just misses in general, roughly 1/2 of the screen. Kim is also considered airborne during this move, so it will go over ground fireballs such as Kyo's or low moves in general. Due to the speed of it, it can be used to punish Kyo's fireball on reaction, or catch opponent's unawares, as unless they are crouch blocking it will probably connect, leading into many potential combos, and if it's blocked you can safely end in a divekick. | Kim's ff.a travels a significant distance when its not done as part of a combo or it just misses in general, roughly 1/2 of the screen.

Kim's ff.a can "wallbounce", as if Kim's kick connects to a wall then it's considered the same as if he hit an opponent. The difference is, Kim turns around after doing this. However when he does any other aerial move, Kim autocorrects himself to face the opponent. This can be used to really screw with the opponent's head since it looks really confusing to someone not used to it! You can also use to extend corner pressure a bit by chaining into ff.a and then coming back down with a quick jd or jc. | Kim's ff.a can "wallbounce", as if Kim's kick connects to a wall then it's considered the same as if he hit an opponent.

Kim's far standing d is 5 frame startup, making it one of the fastest long range moves in the game. It also links into close c or crouch b, meaning throwing this move out on neutral can lead to very big rewards, especially considering it covers many angles and will stop most jumps. However it will lose to most low angled moves, such as a sweep. | Kim's far standing d is 5 frame startup, making it one of the fastest long range moves in the game.
