How is King still allowed to be so OP?

[valorant player]

King is actually one of the most knowledge-checky character in this game. Guy has ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ twenty different grabs, "oh just lab them noob its easy XD" yeah good luck trying to put what you learned in game when some guy with 2000 hours on King pulls out everything in his movelist. Why should players have to check the lab (especially beginners) to know that King has a 1+2 break that looks like a 1 break, or that he has an unbreakable grab from running? (which is an actual 50/50 btw)

All actual guides are literally infographics that doesn't even make sense. The best way to learn him is to basically main him for 100 hours which isn't fun. Most characters in the game can be learned to play against just by playing against them a lot but not with this guy.

Also, grabs now track much better than in T7, so good luck trying to side step (or duck and eat a mid anyway)

Watch your spacing + go for his ankles = Profit against King

ImGodAwful1979, try mixing those low grabs on those ducking bastards. Show them they cant hide from the hug hour!

I need to start doing that, but I keep either freezing in doubt or getting a whiffed ground grab :-(

king isnt even op lmao,
i get my a** handed to me when i play king every single time i only one like 3 games as king,

imo every character is balanced but the delay of the input needs to be toned down alot because half the time i can press rage art heat or try to do any kicks they feel like they dont come out at all.

thats not with king but any heavy character

Nothing is balanced right now game has just been released

you sure because it feels balanced to me,
but then again like you said game just came out,

i personally dont find any of the characters to be op i feel like they are slightly more higher damage output compared to t7.

Trust me meta is going to change multiple times and there are going to be many changes prob in a month or so

I was about to say- Look at the wacky frame data and see for yourself that stuff still needs to bake.

Oh but i get whiff ground grabs too when i guess wrong but they cant blame us for trying.

But if you notice that the other guy keeps ducking atfer a poke, do a ground grab for great fun.

Cause he's the KING not Pawn
If you think King is OP, wait till you meet a good Dragunov.

at least Dragunov actually has some counterplay, mfs just spam wr2 and d2 and the only thing I've seen Dragunov players mix it up with is a 1+2 break (which obv looks like a 1+2 break which is great)

Drag has different throws than those some in his strings tho it is a knowledge check if i recall (maybe they added some more threatening throws) but king is on another level especially in this favouring tekken 8 formula

I don't even care if Marduk returns, I'm ready to play King (and maybe Armor King when he's added) to the end of this game's life cycle. J.Sprint adds so much to his kit.

If there are a million King mains, I am one of them.
If there is only one King main, it's me.
If there are no more King mains, I AM NO LONGER BREATHING.
