Pretty nice King
i guess to be constructive, i'll say there were a few things i didn't like about that king.
during the round with mai, i found the midscreen HD activation fairly unnecessary. king, in general, doesn't do well dealing midscreen damage combos. if anything, she should have omitted the slide after the s.D following the HD activation and done a trapshot > tornado kick B > tornado kick D at the minimum. it's basically free damage and it gets the opponent closer to the corner. luckily, due to the duration of HD, she was able to catch mai in the corner again. however, she should have ended it with surprise rose after the tornado kick. at first, i thought it might have been a good idea to keep mai close and continue pressure, but what did king do? she jumped back and did EX venom strike =/ . gauging the flow of the match, she was never really put on the defensive in the first place. i think she would have been fine with the surprise rose corner ender. king doesn't need to zone when she's on the offensive, it's more for spacing/defense.
the round with leona i don't really have any complaints about. she pressured king decently, and i didn't see king make any standout mistakes since she didn't have meter to be spending. king just got outplayed.
in the shen round, king was sitting on so much meter and she was up by such a large life lead. i'm not quite sure if EX surprise rose would have won the match at that point but it would have helped immensely. at first i just thought it was negligence, but after watching it again, i saw a c.D which leads me to believe they just messed up the input. then, with all that meter, she could have EX trapshot/tornado kick one of those jump-ins or even guard AB/CD. instead, she ended up getting pressured and eating an HD combo to lose by timeout. when king has the meter, by all means, use it when you're on offense for that damage or save it for defense to get you out of situations king has a hard time getting out of. don't just sit on it (unless, of course, king is being a battery for you).
i'm not saying that this was a bad king player, just a decent one. my opinion is that maybe that player had recently picked her up. it's good to analyze how the little mistakes will cost you the match (more specifically in king's case this time). there's not much king footage, or even well-played king, so i always like to see what i can pickup or what mistakes to avoid when using her.
