The King of Fighters '96/Krauser

Introduction

Wolfgang Krauser is mixture of a zoning character like Sagat from Street Fighter and a character who also utilizes his grapple combos up close and personal.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Hits like a truck Lift up blow has great range, and has not much risk if whiffed (Does C version Blitz Ball) Fireballs and Kaiser Wave are decent Great movement speed for a grapple based character	Both versions of leg tomahawk if blocked leave Krauser open to a free combo. His best AA normal only comes out if the opponent is near him (Close D) Alot of his heavy attacks are heavily unsafe up close Big hitboxes Has trouble with rushdown, and people who zone better than him.

Strategies

• You can end most heavy attack blockstrings with B version Kaiser Dual Sobat. It's safe on block and by the time they recover out of block stun, there is very little they can retaliate with.

• If you score a knockdown from anything expect Kaiser Kick. Timing a B or D version Blitz Ball on their wakeup is a safe 50/50.

• Take advantage of that Lift up blow has stupid amount of range to cancel into, as well as being a 1 frame grab

• Try to get into Max mode if you can. This is where Krauser's true damage potential is shown.

• Any hop/jump attack hit = free followup into command throw. If you get the timing down for it.
