TEAM Kim 

General

Notable Players:

Summary: When Kim activates, people block in fear of the blindingly fast EX Hangetsuzan, as when that hits, a chain of destruction undoubtedly follows.  Kim can also harass safely with stand HK and has a chainable crouch LK for easy confirms.

Check out this FT10 between 777 and arguably the best in Japan, M’.  While 777 eventually loses, you will see how Kim is not to taken lightly!!!

 

Best Position: Anchor

Best Tools:

  • stand HK
  • qcb K
  • crouch LK

Bio:  Kim is a very serious person with a strong and inherent sense of justice. As an expert in Tae kwon do, he can stop any opponent attempt with his unpunishable kicking techniques. Kim is convinced that Tae kwon do is the strongest fighting art, and wants to tell the world about it!

Misc: For Justice!

  • Jump : same

 

HP “Heavy Punch”

? LK “Naeryo Chagi” 

  • 21f Overhead

 

?? + LP “Twio Yop Chagi”

  • cancels, ex cancels, super cancels
  • Use to close up the distance after knockdown ; scary!  After throw into corner, do this, then standing blowback.

Specials

  • HK 17f
  • EX 10f
  • Air LK 15f
  • Air HK 17f
  • Air EX 15f

Notes: The unexpected Hangetsuzan is what kills.  Cancel your moves into it randomly.  Sweep cancel is a good one.  The EX is the move that terrifies players.  Try it after jumping back, or before landing, or during a backdash!  Then, combo it into ?? LP >  rush super.

Strategy

Strategy

Optionally sit down and charge your Hienzan!

Far distance:
dance around with hop CD, HP

Medium
Hop HP / move closer with HK

Close distance
Crouch LK then attack with hop HP and try to crossup with air LP

After knockdown, mix your crossup air LP / crouch LK  / overhead

Activate and do random EX Hangetsuzan combos, mix with throws.

Safe jump

Matchups

Remember that Leona’s slasher is not so quick.

Same for Andy

Don’t try it versus Kula, however

Punishing Meitenkun normally and in Maxmode

Punishing Chang

Chang’s hop LPs can be countered

Mian can be annoying but if you have meter…

Big characters such as Antonov, Dino, Daimon, Xanadu, Chang, Maxima and even Vice, fall prey to Kim’s hop LP

Punishing Verse’s reverse cancel

Punish Geese’s flowchart sweep

Punish Alice going for an overhead

Punish Robert going for command kick

Punish Gang Il overhead attempt (hope you are fast!)

Punish Gang-il trying to break guard with hop LP after auto pilot max mode

 

Slightly crazy read to punish Iori’s crossup attempt after auto Max Mode

Iori on the rampage? Flash kick and don’t look back!

Meaty set ups
