Ex King is a zoning and neutral monster thanks to her great set of normals that covers all the different areas she needs to control and her good fireballs that sets up her zoning game. Without meter Ex King isn't as threatening but when she has a bar she gets access to two really powerful supers that lets her control the match through a very strong fireball super and a 2f invul super than can anti air really well. The main threat she has on offense is her proximity unblockable that launches for combo followups. Her weaknesses include a lack of defensive options without meter and that her offensive threats are limited.

Without meter, EX King isn't as threatening, but when she has a bar she gets access to two really powerful DMs that boost her damage, let her zone even more effectively, and fill some holes in her gameplan. Her neutral is her strongest point, but she can also push the offensive when necessary; her main threat there is her proximity unblockable that launches for combo followups. Her weaknesses include a lack of defensive options without meter, and that her offensive threats are otherwise limited.

* cl.B: This is a fast standing low. Cancelable.
* st.C : very fast and active poke at 4f that can catch hops and function as a anti air from further away. It also works well against grounded opponent in footsies, though it won't hit crouchers other than the large ones and is susceptible to getting hit by lows. Not cancelable.
* cl.C: Hits above EX King, so it can be used as a close-range anti-air. For combos, cl.D is the better choice. Whiffs on tiny crouchers.
* st.D : another good poke, hits a bit lower than st.C. Works well for Anti airs at long range where you hit with the tip of her shoe. Not cancelable.
* cl.D: Two-hitting heavy button. This is your main combo option from jump-ins, and the two hits make it easy to hit-confirm. Both hits are cancelable.

* Since it starts up so fast, it can also work as a close-range punish.
* King throws two big projectiles. The B version travels slower and the D version travels faster.
* MAX version travels at the same trajectory as the C version, but EX King does more kicks, so it deals more damage.
* This is a really good super as the projectiles King launches will beat out most other projectiles in the game. When King has a super bar filled she can easily win any projectile zoning wars with the D version of the super.
== Combos ==
* This super is also good for combos since you can land it both off of a slide and after the prox unblockable.
General Notes:
* both versions are punishable on block when done up close.

: Version of the above that does less damage, but resets the opponent into a meaty projectile for better pressure.
* Since it is only 2f startup it can also work as a close range punisher.
: <code>cr.B, cl.B, rdp+K, hcb+B(1), dp+K</code>
: Corner-only variant that does a lot of damage meterless but requires tight timing. The hcb+B must be delayed slightly, and only hit once.

Normal Moves
Close
cl.A: Good anti-hop option at close range. Whiffs on tiny crouchers. Chainable and cancelable.
cl.B: This is a fast standing low. Cancelable.
cl.C: Hits above EX King, so it can be used as a close-range anti-air. For combos, cl.D is the better choice. Whiffs on tiny crouchers.
cl.D: Two-hitting heavy button. This is your main combo option from jump-ins, and the two hits make it easy to hit-confirm. Both hits are cancelable.
Standing
st.A: Standard standing jab with good range and priority. Great for stopping hops. Chainable.
st.B: Has low invincibility when she's off the ground. Good for stopping hops, and but is prone to trading as an anti-air against jumps.
st.C: Very fast and active poke (comes out in just 4f, and stays out for 9) that can catch hops and function as an anti-air from further away. It also works well against grounded opponents in footsies, though it won't hit crouchers other than the large ones and is susceptible to getting hit by lows. Just a fantastic button generally.
st.D: Another good poke, hits a bit lower than st.C. Works well for anti-airs at long range, where you hit with the tip of her shoe.
Crouching
cr.A: A standard crouching jab. Decent for blockstrings. Chainable and cancelable.
cr.B: This is your main low combo option alongside cl.B, Chainable and cancelable.
cr.C: One of EX King's best anti-airs, as it has nice priority and hits a nice angle above her. On hit, you can cancel it into qcf+B to force your opponent to block it meaty as they're coming down. Cancelable on hit, block, and whiff.
cr.D: This is a pretty bad sweep, as it has about the same length of her cr.B but leads to nothing. It does have a lot of active frames though. EX King has no shortage of strong low options, so this being bad isn't really a problem.
Jumping
j.A: A fairly standard j.A that gets outclassed by her other jumping buttons.
j.B: One of your two go-to air-to-airs alongside j.CD. Use j.B when you think j.CD will be too slow to come out.
j.C: A strong jump-in normal. Can be used for crossups.
j.D: Another good jump-in normal. Comes out very fast and can be used as an instant overhead. When used as a jump-in attack, delay the button press so that you hit them deep, as the advantage on hit is a bit tight.
CD Normals
st.CD: Great poking tool, as it has low invincibility and can be canceled into qcf+K to make it safe/take up more space. Makes for a good meaty, as it's slightly plus on block. Cancelable on hit, block, and whiff.
j.CD: This is great as a air-to-air as well as jump-in, as it goes from top to bottom in an arc. One of EX King's best air-to-air buttons, and great to use as a jump-in for pressure.

Command Moves
Sliding Kick:df+D
A low-hitting, low-profile, cancelable slide. The complete package.
This move allows EX King to go under aerial fireballs, and additionally helps her poking game.
Fairly unique in that it is only cancelable during the raw version and not the canceled-into one. You can get around this in combos by late-canceling into it, which retains the cancelability of the raw version while still combo-ing.
You can cancel it into a special move, like qcf+K for pressure or rdp+K/hcb+K for a combo. Safe if spaced out, but punishable if done too close and not canceled.
Special Moves
Trap Shoot:dp+B/D
King does a backflip while kicking. If it hits, the opponent gets combo-ed and eventually kicked away.
On block, it has a lot of pushback, making it fairly safe. Not good as an anti-air, despite looking like a DP, as it will lose or at best trade against jump-in attacks, and it does zero damage in a trade.

Both versions are very safe on block, even at point-blank range.
Can be hopped over.
Very solid projectile overall, and important to EX King's zoning game.
Tornado Kick:hcb+B/D
EX King leaps forwards into the air and does two kicks as she travels. B version travels halfscreen and D version travels 3/4 of the screen.
Good move to throw out to catch approaches with, or to harass the opponent from long range.
B version is fairly safe on block, D version is punishable if not carefully spaced.
Good combo move when you're not in range for the rdp+K, like after a spaced df+D.
Moushuu Kyaku:rdp+B/D
EX King delivers a series of close-range kicks and then launches the opponent. There's no difference between the button strengths.
This is a fast proximity unblockable with partial startup invincibility.
This is a key move for EX King, as it can be combo-ed from both lights and heavies and it launches, allowing for a variety of combo enders.
This also helps her mixup game a lot, since she doesn't have many other tools to threaten with when up close.
Desperation Moves
Double Strike:qcfx2+B/D
King throws out two big projectiles. The B version travels slower and the D version travels faster.
Like most projectile DMs in the game, this is really good, as the projectiles EX King launches will beat out most other projectiles in the game, blowing away any zoning attempts. When EX King has a full stock, she can easily win any projectile zoning wars with the D version.
This DM is also good for combos, since you can land it off of df+D and rdp+K.

The MAX version's projectiles become bigger (about the size of a Haoh Shoh Koh Ken) and more damaging, and they travel the same speed as the D version's.
Surprise Rose:qcfx2+A/C
EX King launches the opponent up into the air, then divekicks them back down to the ground, where she performs a series of fast kicks. A version travels a shorter distance and at a shallower angle compared the C version.
This is an invincible DM with only 2 frames of startup. It's a tremendous reversal and anti-air that can make EX King very hard to approach. It needs to be done when the opponent is close to the ground for the invincibility to beat out the opponent's move, if you do it when they're too high up it might trade or get beaten out.
Since it starts up so fast, it can also work as a close-range punish.
MAX version travels at the same trajectory as the C version, but EX King does more kicks, so it deals more damage.
