If you don't like being thrown, then don't be thrown. All normal throws (throws that don't require a joystick motion) can be countered simply by pressing both left buttons or both right buttons. If you get thrown otherwise, well.. you shouldn't have been standing around long enough for your opponent to tap the joystick for a power throw. The jury is still out, but it is rumored that power throws and multi-part starter can be escaped with 1+2 or 3+4. Theory 1: Know the breaker for all multi-parts. If the Ankle is grabbed by King, start tapping 1+2 then 2+4 then 1+3 but PRESS the sequence QUICKLY. Reason: if King goes into the Indian Death Lock (CPU and all players use this move regardless if they can do the Romero Special or not) you've already pressed the counter: 1+2. If they use the Scorpion Death Lock you've pressed the 2+4 counter. If they use the STF you've already pressed the 1+3 counter. Theory 2: Theory 2 is essentially the same as theory 1 but changed according to how it applies to the moves following the Arm Hyperextension. If King grabs the ARM, start tapping 1+3 then 1+2 then 2+4 but PRESS the sequence QUICKLY. Reason: even novice players can tap 1+2,1+2 by accident after the arm hyperextension and get the triple, but you have tapped 1+3, which is the counter. 1+2 needs to be the 2nd escape sequence you hit because it counters the Chicken Wing FaceLock (most players use this move regardless if they can do the Rolling Cradle or not) If they use the Reverse DDT you've already pressed the last escape sequence (2+4). ********* HISTORY ********* He's really King the Second. Raised in King's orphanage, he was 24 years old when the original King was killed. He put on the mask and assumed the role as King's successor to honor his mentor and save the orphanage. The new King only watched his mentor and really was unfitting of the legend. Armor King, knowing who killed King, feels an obligation to prepare King the Second for a rightful revenge. Four years have passed and King the Second is now a skillful wrestler. Feeling the time is right, Armor King tells his student that the "God of Fight" was responsible for King's death. Armor King breaks down in tears as he tells the gruesome story. King the Second now knows his purpose in life. ********* PROFILE ********* Catch copy - Anger of the Beast Country of origin - Mexico Fighting Style - Wrestling Age - 28 Height - 200cm Weight - 90kg Blood Type - A Occupation - Professional wrestler, manager of orphanage Hobby - Pleasing children Likes - Drinking beer in victory with Armor King Dislikes - Tears of children ************* DESCRIPTION ************* King is second to no one in the area of damage and multiparts. This time he looks more like a wrestler than a Tiger with clothes. I heard somewhere that this is what Namco wanted him to look like this whole time, and in Tekken 3 they finally got it! ********************* Fighting Strategies ********************* Playing as King: Multi-Parts are good but King is not dependent on them. He's got many other moves and combos. One very simple combo I like to use is Turnaround Kick (b+4) followed by his Clothesline (1+2). Or another one you could also do is Turning Hand Knife (1+2), followed by Clothesline (1+2), then do a Flying Cross Chop (f,F+1+2), and Turnaround Kick (b+4). That last one only works sometimes and you have to get the timing just right. King vs. King (Human vs. CPU): When fighting against the CPU you have to vary your attacks! Ten Hits are good because the CPU will usually fall for the last 2 hits. Even if it does block all of the hits it will put him/her far enough away to prevent a counter attack. King vs. King (Human vs. Human): This is the good part! Don't be afraid to use Multi's as most people don't know how to break out of them. You can do 10 hits every once in a while but don't use them too much, because most of the hits are high and easy to counter. That's all!
