Armor King overview & gameplay guide

Overview

Armor King is a really well rounded character. He has a lot of the tools the game has to offer such as varied grabs outside of generic grabs, really strong basics, good punishment on block and whiff, a super strong RD, and strong NH/CH launchers. He has strong approach with his CD1 which is a + on block high with huge range and forces the opponent to pre-emptively duck at range. He’s good at forcing whiffs with range on stuff like his generic d4, df4, df1 and so on. His damage output is quite high to complement his whiff punishment reward. He has ground throw mixups which means after certain knockdowns or wall enders, he can setup a 50/50 to add on a lot of damage onto his already high damage on a correct guess, so his comeback and oki game is quite strong. His lows aren’t the best so it’s encouraged to use his grabs/rage drive to make them duck. His 11f ws4 is strong but it’s all he has til he can launch from crouch.
