Jin's parry (b+1+3) cannot deflect King's elbows like df+1 (-1) or knees like uf+4 (-13); use these frequently to safely pressure Jin.
- 0
Punish Jin's blocked 1+2 (Median Line Destruction) with King's b+1,2, as Jin is -14 and King's i12 punisher will connect.
- 0
Jin's d+2 is -14 on block; King can punish this consistently with his df+4,3 or even a well-timed ws4.
- 0
Use f,F+1 (Jaguar Hook) to catch Jin if he tries to sidestep your throws; it is a homing mid that is only -5 on block.
- 0
If Jin uses f,F+2 (Demon's Paw), it is -8 on block; use this opportunity to start your own pressure with i10 jabs or a Giant Swing (f,hcf+1).
- 0
Jin's d+3+4 (Double Lift Kick) is -19 on block; King can easily launch this with his own uf+4 or even the slower d+1+2 Atlas Hammer.
- 0
Jin's ZEN 4 (Corpse Crusher) is +2 to +8 on block; do not try to interrupt with fast buttons, as you will be counter-hit.
- 0
King's Muscle Armor (db+1+2) can absorb Jin's multi-hit strings like 1,2,1, but be careful of Jin's low options like db+4 which is -13.
