{{SUBPAGENAME}} is a defensive rushdown character who can easily contest his own space with his variety of far-reaching normals, characteristic of his fighting style. Armed with an abundance of hard knockdowns, Kim can be a very tough opponent.


Compared to the previous few entries, where his moveset was cut down, Kim has seen some of the biggest changes out of the veterans to the roster. Kim's rekka system has been reintroduced, and Naeryo Chagi (6B) now combos from heavies, making Kim an easier character to get into while retaining his high damage output. You don't need high execution to excel with Kim—his rekkas are very easy to perform (just one directional input instead of a quarter circle), and with a few directional inputs and button presses, you can do a lot of damage and still get good oki. Kim has also earned a new move, Hisen Kyaku (236P[P]) which is a slow but very safe move that Kim can use to bypass zoning attempts.
Compared to the previous few entries, where his moveset was cut down, Kim has seen some of the biggest changes out of the veterans to the roster. Kim's rekka system has been reintroduced, and Naeryo Chagi (6B) now combos from heavies, making Kim an easier character to get into while retaining his high damage output. His combo game has seen a massive upgrade thanks to that, with many routes for the player to choose from, with some of the harder ones giving him massive rewards.


While Kim isn't necessarily reliant on meter for his gameplan, he nonetheless absolutely thrives when he has a few bars stocked. Houou Hiten Kyaku (236236K[K]) is a launching super that can be followed up with any of his specials. With proper usage, he can even combo into his ranbu super without having to spend the extra bar that other characters do. This makes him especially powerful in mid and anchor positions, where he may have plenty of meter stocked.
His gameplan snowballs to greater heights thanks to his never ending okizeme, which leads into more high damage combos, and so on. His defense reflects that too, strong, reliable, and often leads into his okizeme.


While Kim's mid and close range game is excellent, he does have his flaws. While he is undoubtedly a rushdown character, he doesn't have a lot of moves that are hard to punish and lead to massive reward without spending meter, which means his pressure game can get predictable and lead to Kim getting punished himself if he doesn't resort to his metered tools. Furthermore, Kim's long-range options have either been nonexistent or lackluster, and that has not changed in this game, even with the addition of Hisen Kyaku; while it can travel over fireballs, its startup is punishable. This makes Kim reliant on using meter for both offense and pressure.
While Kim's mid and close range game is excellent, he does have his flaws. While he is undoubtedly a rushdown character, his pressure game can get predictable. Not to mention his subpar Anti-Fireball tools, tough MU against long reaching characters and the risk of his own defense blowing up in his face.


Overall, Kim is a solid character with the tools to get the job done, and can easily be more powerful in the right hands. Make the proper use of Kim's kit, and you may find yourself sweeping opponents with ease.

| pros=
| pros=
* '''Hard Knockdowns Galore''': Kim can get meterless hard knockdowns, even from lights, making it easy for Kim to close the distance between him and the opponent after ending a combo.
* '''Combo Meister''': Kim easily starts any of his terrific combos from lights or heavies, with may routes to choose from.
* '''Great Super Efficiency''': Kim can chain his launching kick and ranbu supers practically back-to-back without having to spend two more bars of meter. This allows him to do a lot of damage without having to spend much in lower team positions.
* '''King of Oki''': Nearly everything Kim does leads into a safejump, crossup or just good ol' High/Low pressure.
* '''placeholder''': placeholder.
* '''Efficiency''': Kim is a damage and meter machine. He only needs a single bar to maul a character and he can build it pretty fast, or dump it all for the kill.
* '''Flying in the Sky''': His air game is great, thanks to great buttons like jC, jD, jA and the nightmare that is hus jCD. He can use moves like Air Hangetsuzan and Hishou Kyaku to change his fall on a whim.
* '''He Kicks High''': His defense is hard to challenge, with great AAs, high reaching pokes and the ever reliable Hienzan, Kim has no problem keeping you out.
| cons=
| cons=
* '''Limited Pressure''': Kim's safe meterless options are light Hangetsuzan in some cases and Hisen Kyaku which can be interrupted if the opponent sees it coming. He either needs to spend meter on EX Hangetsuzan, which doesn't lead to anything, or an EX rekka.
* '''Limited Pressure''': Whilst he has great frametraps, he'll often have to end his blockstrings with 214B, which pushes him away, or 236A, which is death against grapplers and can be called out with a reversal.
* '''Legs Only Reach So Far''': Kim is very good at close-to-midrange but lacks any options further than that when dealing with zoning. Hisen Kyaku can work, but its slow speed means he can still be stuffed out if he's not careful.
* '''Allergic to Fireballs''': Kim struggles with zoning, that much is true. His Anti-Fireball move isn't very good at its job and long ranged characters are his licing nightmare.
* '''placeholder''': placeholder.

Kim performs a flying kick that travels about midscreen. The properties of this move vary depending on if the move hits or is blocked. On hit, Twio Yop Chagi is special cancellable and can cancel into either of his two aerial special attacks. If no special move is inputted, Kim will simply bounce off the opponent to a fair distance away. On block, the move is ''not'' special cancellable, and Kim will not bounce off the opponent, leaving him right next to the opponent. Therefore, while this move is relatively safe on hit, it is extremely punishable on block.

Gameplay Summary

Kim Kaphwan is a defensive rushdown character who can easily contest his own space with his variety of far-reaching normals, characteristic of his fighting style. Armed with an abundance of hard knockdowns, Kim can be a very tough opponent.

Compared to the previous few entries, where his moveset was cut down, Kim has seen some of the biggest changes out of the veterans to the roster. Kim's rekka system has been reintroduced, and Naeryo Chagi (6B) now combos from heavies, making Kim an easier character to get into while retaining his high damage output. His combo game has seen a massive upgrade thanks to that, with many routes for the player to choose from, with some of the harder ones giving him massive rewards.

His gameplan snowballs to greater heights thanks to his never ending okizeme, which leads into more high damage combos, and so on. His defense reflects that too, strong, reliable, and often leads into his okizeme.

While Kim's mid and close range game is excellent, he does have his flaws. While he is undoubtedly a rushdown character, his pressure game can get predictable. Not to mention his subpar Anti-Fireball tools, tough MU against long reaching characters and the risk of his own defense blowing up in his face.

Overall, Kim is a great character with the tools to get the job done, and can easily be more powerful in the right hands. Make the proper use of Kim's kit, and you may find yourself sweeping opponents with ease.

Kim Kaphwan is a defensive rushdown character who thrives on massive damage and hard knockdowns.

  • Efficiency: Kim is a damage and meter machine. He only needs a single bar to maul a character and he can build it pretty fast, or dump it all for the kill.
  • Flying in the Sky: His air game is great, thanks to great buttons like jC, jD, jA and the nightmare that is hus jCD. He can use moves like Air Hangetsuzan and Hishou Kyaku to change his fall on a whim.
  • He Kicks High: His defense is hard to challenge, with great AAs, high reaching pokes and the ever reliable Hienzan, Kim has no problem keeping you out.

  • Requires holding a downwards input for 30 frames (0.5 seconds) to charge.
  • Both Light and the first hit of Heavy Super Cancel

Kim's signature reversal flash kick, great as a reversal and a combo tool. Gets great oki from both Heavy and EX.

Mainly used as a movement tool in this game, due to it's low reward.
