VODs from King's side

Tips

  • 0

    Heihachi's f,F+2 (Demon God Fist) is -16 on block; King can punish this reliably with uf+4 (Jumping Knee Lift) for a full launch.

  • 0

    If Heihachi uses db+2 (Eishomon), it is -18 on block, giving King ample time to land a heavy punisher or a guaranteed throw setup.

  • 0

    King's f+1+2 (Shadow Lariat) is i16 and +0 to +1 on block, making it a safe tool to check Heihachi's movement without giving up the turn.

  • 0

    Use df+3 to track Heihachi's SSR; it is i14 and only -9 on block, providing a safe mid check against his movement.

  • 0

    Exploit Heihachi's lack of a fast low by using King's d+3 or db+3 to chip away at his health, as they are i17 and i23 respectively.

  • 0

    Punish Heihachi's 1,1,2 or qcf+2 (-17 on block) with a fast throw like Giant Swing (i10).

  • 0

    Use b+3 (Toll Kick) as a power crush against Heihachi's pressure; it is i16 and forces a tech backroll on hit.
