If Raven enters Soulzone (3+4), check him with df+1 (i14) or df+2 (i13) to interrupt slow options like SZN.3+4 (i27).

Raven's b+1 is +7 on block and leads to a CH launch; do not press buttons after blocking this elbow, as his follow-up will likely beat King's i10 jabs.
- 0
Punish Raven's 1,2,4 string (-14 on block) with King's ws2,2 or f+2,1 for a consistent knockdown or Heat transition.
- 0
Raven's BT.d+3 low sweep is extremely unsafe at -26 on block; block low and use King's uf+4 or ws1+2 for a full launch punish.
- 0
Use King's f+1+4 Body Check to beat Raven's parries (b+1+3 or BT.f+1+2) as it is a chest attack that cannot be parried by traditional means.
- 0
Raven's df+2 is an i16 mid launcher that is -13 on block; punish it reliably with King's b+1,2 for a Tornado knockdown.
- 0
Be wary of Raven's f,f,F+3 which is +4 to +6 on block; respect the frame advantage and wait for his next move rather than challenging with jabs.
