How to beat King's low kick?
Seriously once he successfully lands his first low kick I have be kicked like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hundread times and I'm like crippled and can't even get back to defense state. Then, he starts to low kick again and it's impossible to prevent his low kick again and he starts spamming these moves again. How to deal with King players who keep low kicking? The move is fast and hard to prevent.

If you get hit by Ali kicks on counterhit... you are minus enough for king to freely land a hopkick into one of his most damaging juggles... don't press buttons once you are hit and try to guess if the king will continue low or go for the mid knockdown.

He's tricky. He sometimes keeps spamming and sometimes he suddenly using the mid-lock down. Extremely hard to predict. A wrong guess leads to very huge lost in health. Simply cheap move 'cause it gives me extremely negative frames but yet it doesn't count for a single full combo for its follow up.

I just continuously lost to a King player for like 13/14 times and just managed to beat him back for once.

My father, when I play with him, loves using this trick. I've actually been able to practice low parries due to him using it. That's how I've gotten out of that stunlock.

yea lowparry works quite well. you can parry the second or third if you were able to block one.

but make sure to dont get hit by the CH 4 and 5 th. ali kick. it will lead to a full juggle.

the thing is king can perform 5 ali kicks in a row if the first hit was a CH but you are able to block after the third.
But since it normaly only does 3 low kicks max many people gets up again to retaliate and gets hit by the 4. and 5. lowkick.

if the 1st low hits you the 2nd low is not guaranteed. Hold downback or better parry it, react to the what he does after the 2nd low. its reactable after that

Just adding onto what people have said here...
Even after the first kick lands, both of his follow-up options (Low and Mid) are blockable AND launch punishable.

Only way to deal with Ali kicks is to play safe against King. The trick with his most used cheese lows is that they have huge range but only give him good reward on counter hit and are extremely unsafe. There is also that FC df1 that is only like -12 but is very visible. You can react to it easily. So you need to deal with them in order to make a king player start compensating his ♥♥♥♥♥♥ lows with his throw game when he actually need to cut the distance and take some risks while doing that.
Ali kick is not a natural combo so you can actually duck it and then WS punnish him with a launcher. Mid punch is not such a big reward though rather pesky to get hit by. You just need to learn to be patient with this stuff. It can also be fuzzy guarded. He starts that spin animation after all. That 2 is telegraphed after all. And it is unsafe too. If a king player spams ali kicks you just gotta expect it every time. Remember that it's a highcrush so he is allways gonna set this move up by provoking you to go for highs when you want to regain your turn and retaliate. That's when he gets his CH and harrases you.
You can try to make it wiff and then punnish it if you see king trying to cut the distance with ali kicks. It has good range after so they will going to try to hit you with it from afar.
If I'd be playing Feng for example I would kill that strat with his sick f3,4 wiff punnish. You can find your own characters options for that role. Like Lee, King himself and AK would punnish it with f2,1. Jin can just f4 it or b2,1 for a safer option.
In summary there ARE enough options to deal with this it's just that depending on a character and a situation you'll need a little more or a little less fundamentals for execution.
I myself get hit by this move from time to time even though I've played for quite awhile now. But I allways know that a King who abuses it is pretty much playing giveaways with me.
