It's not king's fault armor king was late to the party. Though to be fair he was probably late because he was busy making the best costume out of the roster.

[@Itsallover57]

I am kind of nostalgic for ttt2 despite its flaws. I played aking true ogre and could do a 165 dmg combo that ended in a giant swing. I landed that 1 time online and I still remember how nice it felt Also i figured aking was never going to be in t7 exactly because king has so many of his notable moves. Im glad he is though. I just prefer the way he plays

[@donovanchilton5817]

I do miss true ogre. Everything else though...ick.

[@Anomaly188]

I prefer AKs moves too. I'm a long time pro wrestling fan and AK's Japanese Puroresu inspired style is a lot more appealing than King's more traditional Catch style.

@@knife9185 Yeah. If you compare King and Armor Kings damage, frame advantsge and frame startup. Armor King has to work almost twice as hard as King, and King got way better grab mix ups on top of that. To me AK could use better mids, a bit better + frames for his pokes, and more damage. He is supose to be a more hard hitting King, while King has better grabs.

[@danny50117]

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 still my favourite

[@Unarmedgeof]

Would you consider potentially covering the Jin Omen Stance glitch? The glitch that gives any character access into Jin's specific stance is honestly one of my favorite glitches in any game, and I would spend a lot of time just doing impractical combos. Here's how to do it for anyone wants to know: This only works facing Jin & Panda. Recording the CPU, use Tag Assault as Jin, and as Panda do f+3+4, 1+2. The 3+4 must whiff, and just when Panda's 1+2 connects, do Jin's B+1+2 (Power Stance). The Power Stance must connect before the 3+4. If that's done, replay the CPU and tech roll (thats how I get it more consistently) and if its done correctly, your character will enter Omen Stance. This works on nearly the whole cast. It functions pretty oddly but its awesome to see almost any character do electrics, hellsweeps, and even some Jin tools for a little bit.

[@zwerble_]

My main team in tag 2 was bryan/armor king. Armor King was kino in Tag 2. I dropped him in Tekken 7 because he is just so much weaker thanks to the T7 meta. The throw break window being massive, the nerfed movement, and his worthless rage drive makes AK almost not worth the frustration to git gud with him. AK needs some serious buffs in season 4

If they added the old ss2 back i dont think it will be as good because of t7 movement and tracking. plus if AK gets buffed everyone will know about the 3+4 catch.

[@fasoooli2751]

it's gone for an obvious reason the bound system is changed overall

[@AzimusVonQuaq]

Great video as always but I have to disagree with one thing. Since AK got released everyone shits on his ss 2,1 and how it doesn't nosebleed anymore. Now let's say it will nosebleed again then what? You dealt 10 dmg with ss 2 and your 3+4 dealt another 6 maybe 8 points of dmg great buff isn't it, totally fixed AK. But I agree to 100% that he doesn't fit into the T7 system. He was taken out straight out of TTT2 then they "adjusted" his poking damage for T7, then gave him two new sup par string extensions and called it a day. I don't want to say that they fucked AK up but he has so many weaknesses in this game and the only thing he is good at right now is his standing punishment. I know how harada didn't like jdcr playing AK using his d4 alot but he only has the most basic poke set you can have and AK has no really good moves because he is always minus on block and the few plus on block moves he does have, straight up suck. And the worst part is that they probably won't buff AK even though he is in dire need of buffs. (edit: spelling)

[@fasoooli2751]

they don't even talk about the buff ss21 and the other bound strings got the 2nd hit will cause a bound instead of force crouch if the 1st one wasn't connected

[@lancerblaze1284]

When people shit on his ss2,1 it's just not about the damage, it's also about how they go down and then you can choose whether to go for oki or or the extra damage + setup if you had any ( like a cheeky ass unblockable from backturn) But yeah the main nerf to him was the toned down movement

Do one for king

[@wardogthreeisanidiot6561]

Armor King was great as a whiff punisher, unfortunately he had horrible combos to the point the one thing you did after hitting Dark Upper was always tagging in to King or whatever partner you had. His combo synergy with King was decent enough, which was a bless since his own combo abilities were mediocre at best. CH db+3, WS+4, d+2 for example the d+2 here just barely hits by a smidge, a pixel of a hitbox. If you were to be even a slight bit off axis this combo is doomed to whiff. His wall combo abilities were horrid because d+2,4,3 doesn't exist in this game and his other strings whiff AND his only menacing ground throw is db+2+4 and that one always gets broken by good players. He still suffers from not having good hitboxes in his moves, a good df+1 and d+1,N+4 but unremarkable df+2 (other than as a bound, and even that was generally outshined by d+2) mediocre hopkick, and even his standard 1,2 was among the WORST (and still is in T7 it seems) 1,2's in Tekken due to how the 2nd hit misses half the time (sure, you can still use 2,1 most of the time, but not after a sidestep). His command grabs, while excellent by the rest of the character standards, were still "not as good as King's" standard (unlike his brother in T1/T2/Tag 1 who had command throws identical to King's, Armor King II's throws are always a step behind King's equivalents, except for df+2+3 maybe). This includes his f,f,f+2+4 airthrow which doesn't even give terrifying oki as King's does. This is why I rated TTT2 AK as slightly behind TTT2 King in tiers in spite of his superior whiff punishment and better poking.

[@streetfighter5430]

T7 King f+2,1 and d+3 no original :(, T5-T6 poke pressure f+2,2,1/2 very cool and d3 no good, but basically, more f+2,d+1,2 it is Marduk move T6. King is not bad, but i really hate with 2 key move is Armor King on King move list in T7.
