Command Moves

Slide Kick = (df+D)

• King's slide kick moves her forward on the ground for a low hitting kick. If you land close high kick, you can combo into slide kick and initiate a cancel into Trap Shot (other cancels still to be tested). However, landing her slide kick by itself will not let you cancel into Trap Shot.

- Cancel-able

- Hit Detection: Low

- Damage: 40

Special Moves

Trap Shot = (dp+K)

• King will do a backflip kick. If it lands, she will go into a full animation where she kicks the opponent multiple times. If it whiffs, no further animation will occur. Trap Shot can be canceled into a lot of different moves (Venom Strike, Surprise Rose, others??) and seems to be safe on block, making it extremely useful.

(EX) = dp+BD

- Drive/Super Cancel-able

- Hit Detection: High

- Damage: 0+20x3+80/0+20x6+80

Venom Strike = (qcf+K)

• King's projectile. A standard fireball on the ground. She can also perform this move anytime during her jump-arc whether it be neutral, backward, or forward, which is very useful for zoning.

(EX) = qcf+BD

- Super Cancel-able

- Hit Detection: High

- Damage: 65/75x2

Air Venom Strike = (qcf+K) in air

(EX) = qcf+BD in air

- Hit Detection: High

- Damage: 60/120

Tornado Kick '95 = (hcb+K)

• King does a whirlwind kick forward. The start up on this move feels pretty slow, so don't throw it out when your opponent is close enough to react. It's called Tornado Kick '95 because her Tornado Kicks in recent games have been much more vertical, and this Tornado Kick resembles the OG horizontal version in KoF 95

(EX) = hcb+BD

- Drive/Super Cancel-able

- Hit Detection: Close

- Damage: 30x2/60x2/55x3

Desperation Moves

Double Strike = (qcfx2+K)

• King throw's out two very large and fast Venom Stikes.

- Hit Detection: High

- Damage: 105x2

Surprise Rose = (qcfx2+P)

• King does an upwards kick during the first part of the animation, then lands forward for more kicks. The upwards kick in the beginning makes this super viable as an anti air, but it does not have great priority and can get beaten out by certain normals. Depending on whether you press ;a or ;c, she will travel shorter or farther respectively with the second part.

(EX) = qcfx2+AC

- Max Cancel-able

- Hit Detection: High

- Damage: 10x2+0+12x11+48

Neomax

Venom Shot = (qcbx2+BD) -

- Hit Detection: High

- Damage: 30x(1~17)
