Introduction

「 King 」

Undoubtedly the strongest zoner in KOF03. High, mid and low projectiles, multiple anti air options and a LDM that wins fireball wars while also shooting a low projectile. King's fast movement, frequent airborne state and ability to cover large ranges and punishes allows her to outplay most of the cast with ease. Tornado Kick & Silent Slash(qcbx2+K) gives her a lot of unsuspecting power as a zoner with strong "get off me" tools. Additionally she is almost always a great swap in choice, in and out of MSCs.

Combos

BnBs:

  • (cr.B, cr.A) / cl.C / cl.D, df.D, rdp K / hcb D
  • (cr.B, cr.A) / cl.C / cl.D, df.D, hcb B, qcbx2 K
Omit df.D if midscreen. Possible to land the full combo but very inconsistent.
  • (cr.B, cr.A) / cl.C / cl.D, df.D, qcfx2 P

MSA Starters:

  • (cr.B, cr.A) / cl.C / cl.D, df.D, hcb B, MSA
Almost impossible link. MSA has to be done immediately otherwise it whiffs.

MSA Enders:

  • (After landing from MSA) hcb B, qcbx2 K
King will side-switch after hcb B, meaning you need to do the super in the opposite direction. Sometimes after landing from MSA, King will side-switch already, meaning she has to do hcb B in the opposite direction, but because this side-switches her, the super has to be done in the opposite direction of the initial side-switch. In the corner, none of this matters as King will remain on the same side.

Strategy

King excels in being at mid to long range space where she can punish jumps, fireballs, and grappler with her zoning tools, until they're pushed in a corner, with the perfect spacing away from the opponent that allows her to assault them freely.

King's new Top Venom (qcf+P) allows her to stuff a variety of jump and other airborne options from afar when the opponent no longer feels like a grounded approach is safe. Hits most characters standing, and none crouching. A very important tool as it also also crushes lows, and is airborne, thus avoiding grabs and a variety of other attacks. Additionally her LDM, a quadruple fireball super, includes a flying low fireball within it's mix. it's a guard breaker as a result and an effective punish, as each of these fireballs will destroy any onscreen projectile.
