Street Fighter X Tekken/King

King

Ideal Team Position: Anchor

King has been a part of all three of Esuta’s EVO winning teams, being saved for what Esuta feels will be the deciding set of a tournament. This is mostly because King’s damage output is absurdly high and in order to make the most of all that damage, he needs to overwhelm opponents with his frame traps, throw mixups, and underrated buttons before they can make the adaptations they need to defend themselves.

Unlike most grapplers, King does not rely heavily on his command throws as the opponent has to be either standing or crouching for them to connect depending on which one he chooses to do: the Giant Swing, hcf+P, only grabs standing opponents while the Shining Wizard, hcf+K, only connects with crouching opponents. In order to strike fear into his opponents long enough to put them in that kind of guessing game, King uses his potent Jaguar Step to pressure opponents up close where he can either go into a Step Ender or just do an empty step into whatever mixup he so chooses. Furthermore, the first two hits of his f+MP target combo is 0 on block, forcing the opponent to guess between a high-low mixup or just a regular throw that kills their red health and puts them into an unfortunate hard knockdown situation. King’s primary weakness involves clearing gaps of distance quickly, as he can be kept out fairly easily if he’s not already within striking distance. Furthermore, he can be blown up with aerial assaults as he lacks consistent anti-airs and his Parry (b+PPP) does not work on crouching opponents and makes him vulnerable to empty jump attacks or empty jump throws. Therefore, King should be the anchor of your team if you decide to recruit him, because once he gets a hot tag and has meter to play with for his EX Konvict Kick shenanigans, he can quickly put the opponent down for the three count.

Strengths

Weaknesses

High damage output
cr.LP is a 4-frame normal that reaches far and can easily reach for a link into itself to confirm into Cross Rush
EX Konvict Kick (dp+KK) is completely safe on block unless a failed attempt to cancel into DDT (KK) is made. Furthermore, a successful hit can lead to a full juggle through linking his knee attack (uf+MK)
Jaguar Step is invulnerable from frames 7-27 and cancels into itself, allowing King to step through his opponent’s attacks and counter with a 50/50 guessing game (follow-up attack or be thrown)
j.HP has a low angle that is difficult to anti-air thanks to King having a fairly fast jump
f+MP > MP block string is 0 on block and puts the opponent in another guessing game thanks to his strike/throw mixup
Can fake f+MP > MP with cl.LP’s identical animation
Can tick light attacks canceled into command grabs on block

Struggles against dealing with pressure as all of his reversals require meter and are vulnerable to neutral jumps
Throw game not as strong as other grapplers as neither of his standing command throws have an option that cover both standing and crouching opponents
Anti-air game is lacking as his LP Running Jaguar Bomb, his sole air-invincible attack, has very limited range compared to similar anti-air throws and are vulnerable to early-executed air attacks
His other anti-air option, his Parry attack, does not stop throws or low attacks, making him further vulnerable to empty jumps
Has difficulty clearing large gaps of distance quickly
Limited mobility

Special Moves

The Mid-Air Leg Screw and Leg Screw counter the opponent's position, not the attack type, meaning that Leg Screw can counter overhead standing attacks and mid standing attacks without having to worry about high/low game. Conversely, this move cannot counter any crouching attack, even ones that do not hit low (such as crouching {{ }}).
