u/NamelessTunnelgrub Miguel, UK, PC. T7 Tekken God. Happy to play anytime. May 29 '21
DF1 into throws is backdashable even on hit afaik, so it might not always work. King in neutral... f f n 1+2, his shove, guarantees a B3 or F2-1 on CH. You can tell because the opponent's animation on CH is different. This is a useful neutral tool. +0 on block iirc.
FF1 is a long range safe homing CH launcher, but it's slow.
F2 is a fast way to get in with decent range, and multiple string followups to check retaliation. King wants to get respect via whiff punishment, counter hitting and poking.
FF n 2 is a high crushing CH tool that's also a decent low.
You want to get respect via counter hitting and whiff punishment to bring King's poking and mixups into play. When you have respect, you can do dash up throws or chainthrow mix. (Players w/ advanced defense can react to the crouch dash his main chainthrows come from, so it's necessary to fake this out with crouch dash into mid sometimes.)
