Gameplay Overview
King is a mixed bag character. She can keep an opponent at bay by utilizing her projectile game, though predictability in this area can work against her favor. Her rushdown isn't terribly exceptional since she doesn't have any real mixup options. Because of this, her neutral game is very important. Using EX moves and drive cancels, King is able to get the opponent to the corner, where she can get her best damage with either HD combos or EX Surprise Rose. King's difficult matchups are those against rushdown characters. Having poor normals and lack of a decent reversal without meter really hurts King in the defensive department. Coupled with the fact that she is generally poor at building meter, King works best when not used as a point(1st) character.
Gameplay Notes
Pros
- Good zoning tools (projectiles)
- Good EX moves
- Easy BnBs and HD combos
- Fast movement speed (backdash/run)
Cons
- Slow normals (short range, low priority)
- Poor mixup game (no overhead/proximity unblockable)
- Low damage potential compared to a majority of the cast
- Requires corner for high damage
- Needs meter for damage/reversals
- Not good at building meter

Throw
Hook Buster = (b/f+C/D) - King throws the opponent with her legs. C version throws opponent forward, D version throws opponent behind.
- Can be broken
- Hit Detection: Close
- Damage: 100
Command Moves
Slide Kick = (df+D)
- King's slide kick moves her forward on the ground for a low hitting kick. When landing a close high kick, can combo into slide kick and initiate a cancel into Trap Shot, Venom Strike or Tornado Kick. However, landing her slide kick by itself will not allow cancelling, so the trick is to empty cancel a s.A/d.A/s.B (any quick cancelable move) then perform the slide cancel.
- 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, Tornado Kick, EX Trap Shot, and Surprise Rose). Unsafe on block, especially if the opponent has the player in the corner. Not viable as anti-air unless done as an EX version. EX version has full invincibility against attacks (not projectiles).
(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 version version hits twice: goes through standard projectiles, trades with EX projectiles, and loses to DM projectiles.
(EX) = qcf+BD
- Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 65/75x2
Air Venom Strike = (qcf+K) in air
- When done as an aerial version, A version drops straight down, B version makes King jump slightly backwards before landing, EX version drops straight down at a faster rate than A version.
(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 the opponent is close enough to react. It's called Tornado Kick '95 because her Tornado Kick in recent games have been much more vertical, and this Tornado Kick resembles the original horizontal version in KoF 95. Second hit will whiff on crouchers (unsure on Raiden, testing necessary). Unsafe on block, unless blocked from afar (hits with the tip). EX version has invincibility, may be used as an anti-air.
(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. B version projectile travels slower than D version, same damage.
- 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. Max Cancel-able during any of the hits (minus the initial upwards kick).
(EX) = qcfx2+AC
- Max Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 10x2+0+12x11+48/10x2+0+(10x3+30)x3+10x3+100
Neomax
Venom Shot = (qcbx2+BD)
- Can be done from the ground or in the air. If done from the ground, King jumps straight up before performing the move. Superflash/timefreeze does not occur until the peak of the jump, and therefore can be interrupted before the move executes. If interrupted in this way, no meter is spent. If Venom Shot is done from the air, startup is 1 frame. Not all hits are guaranteed.
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 30x(1~17)
