Tips

Armor King's df+1 is a fast i13 mid but is -3 on block; use your i12 f+2 or 4 to check him if he tries to follow up with another poke.
- 0
Watch out for Armor King's f+2,1 Heat Engager; it is -9 on block and safe, but the first hit f+2 alone is -11 and punishable by your i10 jabs.
- 0
Armor King's db+3 Foot Sweep is a homing low that is -26 on block; block low and use your most powerful launcher like uf+4 for a maximum damage punish.
- 0
Be wary of Armor King's f,n,d,df+2 (Dark Smash), which is i11 and -10 on block; you can punish this with a simple 1,2 jab string.
- 0
Armor King's hopkick uf+4 is -13 on block; punish it with your f+2,1,1+2 string or df+2 to gain Starburst on counter hit if he mashes.
- 0
Use b+3 to keep Armor King from sidestepping your linear tools, as it is i13 and completely homing to both sides.
- 0
If Armor King enters BAD stance, be careful of BAD.1,4 which is +4 on block and jails; try to interrupt slower options like BAD.1+2 (i26) with your i12 f+2.
- 0
Armor King's f,f,n,2 low is -13 on block; use your ws1,1 or ws4 to punish and potentially enter Starburst.
