what'd they do to King
This patch has me confused what they want for King exactly. I think we all knew in advance ffn2, b3 and homing throws were gonna get nerfed, but they gave king a WAVU?
What King player was asking for this? I sure wasn't, I've always been against them giving King more of AK's stuff.
King with his options out of wavu is gonna be really stupid. ws2, shove, ff1, ws1+2, and ofc ffn2. There was a reason he never had a true wave dash before.
On the flip side of this really stupid buff, they give him insanely stupid nerfs to his oki. Why am I now on the defensive after landing b3 and f3? Why am I in a MIXUP after landing muscle buster? removing "unintended followups" when BT3 was a followup after muscle buster since Tekken 3 is just weird. I can see removing free hits, but King doesn't even have oki in these scenarios anymore, getup kicks beat everything so now he has to back off, and in muscle buster he can't even do that much.

They should have just targeted the damage, not the oki. And dont give that mf a wavedash either. They slap ffn2 on the wrist and then gutter his best mid and best 1+2 break. He's had these things forever and suddenly now they're a problem, I don't think so. The problem has always been that stupid low, his heat smash, and homing throws

Anyway that's the end of my King tears. RIP Armor King that mf is never getting into the game now

He's still way too strong. Need more nerfs.
They actually buffed King, but don't let the scrubs find out :)

LMAOOOO
King wavu was always a thing, it was just very hard to do. It's just easier now.

It was hard enough to do that only the best Kings in the world did it, and barely at that. This is a bad change that's gonna make him more annoying to play against

He's definitely weaker overall now after the loss of homing throws (deserved) and those atrocious oki nerfs. King's oki was never a problem, people weren't losing games over an alley kick.
They didn't even TOUCH his heat smash which is crazy to me, and ffn2 is still busted. No clue what these guys wanna do with King's identity
