Welcome to my first character guide, I will cover one of the most technical characters in SFxT, King. King is a very effective fighter once you understand how he works. As a King player you have to keep yourself ready to react to your opponent and learn how to condition your opponent into falling for Kings mixups. King is extremely effective at close range, and he can deal good pressure and damage using his unique command grabs.

Unique Attacks
Jumping Knee Lift -
Damage 80. If you hit your opponent with this they will be in a juggle state. Advantage on block -4.
One of Kings coolest normals, not to be used by itself since it has pretty bad range, but you can combo this off of a successful jump-in for big damage. This is Kings most important combo tool, get used to the input because it will help alot in combos. This move will whiff on crouching opponents (Except Kuma and possibly Hugo).
There is alot of possibilities for Team Synergy using this move. Experiment away!
Disgraceful Kick -
Damage 90 Advantage on Hit: -1. Advantage on block -6.
This move will cause a crumple on Counterhit, it is a pretty good normal at the right distance, it has a 15f startup and a 20f recovery. It can be useful against people that like to throw out random pokes.
Shoulder Tacke -
Damage 110. Will cause a hard knockdown on Hit. Advantage on block -6.
King moves forward and tackles his opponent with his shoulder and will send them flying to the other side of the screen. This move can absorb one hit and will cause a Wallbounce on counterhit. Its punishable on block so be careful when you use it.
Moonsault body press -
Damage 110. Will cause a hard Knockdown on hit and this move cannot be blocked.
This is probably the move I have never dared to use. Its is extremely slow (50f startup) and punishable on reaction. It IS unblockable though, If its not interrupted by your opponent. My advice would be to not use this move unless youre trying to troll your opponent.
Rolling Elbow Rush -
Damage 60. Advantage on hit +4. Advantage on block +1. Damage 60. Advantage of hit +3. Advantage on block 0 Damage 80 Advantage on hit +9. Advantage on block -4.Rolling Elbow rush is a series of quick close range elbow hits that have the same speed and frame advantage as normal attacks. The first two hits will cause a knockdown on airborne opponents(i.e. catching them on backdash).The third hit is an overhead and will cause a ground bounce on counterhit, if you do land it and it is not a counterhit you can start a combo. However the third elbow is at -4 frame disadvantage on block and comes out a little late. This a pretty good move for conditioning but you have to be careful since you can get punished after the blocked overhead. If you do catch your opponent on counter-hit with it, it causes a groundbounce which you can combo off of. If you do the first two hits and your opponent knows the overhead is coming they may stand up, to which you can get them with a Giant Swing, if they just sit there get them with the overhead or with the knee smash.
