Hey fellow king players! just thought i'd roll in here with some (hopefully) new technology!!
so check it, you know how you have to be near the corner to do her basic HD combo loop, right? well, i found a way to get into the loop from much further away (up to around 70% of the entire stage away from the corner when you start the combo)
basically, what i found is that AT POINT BLANK RANGE, stand B, slide, into B tornado kick will let you follow up with EX trap shot every time. at first, this doesn't seem very useful, since it costs meter for little damage, and plus you have to be literally right next to your opponent otherwise EX trap shot will whiff.
BUT, if you land any close standing C or D, you can activate HD into stand B, which will hit at point blank range. you can then follow up with, slide, B tornado kick, EX trap shot, HD cancel B tornado kick, and hopefully at this point you'll be in the corner, so you can follow with regular trap shot, loop, finish the combo.
so yeah, now king can land her HD combo, for 1 extra meter, from like a long ass distance from the corner. very situational, but useful imo.
there is something weird about this though, and i hope someone can answer my question. king players will know that in the corner, at the end of her basic HD combo, you can do B tornado kick, D tornado kick, then EX surprise rose. for some reason however, if you cancel from EX trap shot, then do B tornado kick, D tornado kick, EX surprise rose will whiff every time. any idea why this happens? thanks all!
