                        *********************
                         THE ART OF ESCAPING
                        *********************

Counter those throws!!  If you don't like being thrown, then don't
be thrown. All normal throws (throws that don't require a joystick
motion) can be countered simply by pressing both left buttons or
both right buttons.  If you get thrown otherwise, well.. you
shouldn't have been standing around long enough for your opponent
to tap the joystick for a power throw.  The jury is still out, but
it is rumored that power throws and multi-part starter can be
escaped with 1+2 or 3+4.


Theory 1:


Know the breaker for all multi-parts. If the Ankle is grabbed by
King, start tapping 1+2 then 2+4 then 1+3 but PRESS the sequence
QUICKLY. Reason: if King goes into the Indian Death Lock (CPU and
all players use this move regardless if they can do the Romero
Special or not) you've already pressed the counter: 1+2.  If they
use the Scorpion Death Lock you've pressed the 2+4 counter.
If they use the STF you've already pressed the 1+3 counter.

Theory 2:

Theory 2 is essentially the same as theory 1 but changed according
to how it applies to the moves following the Arm Hyperextension.
If King grabs the ARM, start tapping 1+3 then 1+2 then 2+4
but PRESS the sequence QUICKLY. Reason: even novice players can
tap 1+2,1+2 by accident after the arm hyperextension and get the
triple, but you have tapped 1+3, which is the counter.  1+2 needs
to be the 2nd escape sequence you hit because it counters the
Chicken Wing FaceLock (most players use this move regardless if
they can do the Rolling Cradle or not) If they use the Reverse DDT
you've already pressed the last escape sequence (2+4).

                             *********
                              HISTORY
                             *********

       He's really King the Second.  Raised in King's orphanage, he
was 24 years old when the original King was killed.  He put on the mask
and assumed the role as King's successor to honor his mentor and save
the orphanage.

       The new King only watched his mentor and really was unfitting
of the legend.  Armor King, knowing who killed King, feels an obligation
to prepare King the Second for a rightful revenge.

       Four years have passed and King the Second is now a skillful
wrestler.  Feeling the time is right, Armor King tells his student
that the "God of Fight" was responsible for King's death.  Armor King
breaks down in tears as he tells the gruesome story.  King the Second
now knows his purpose in life.

                               DESCRIPTION
                              *************

King is second to no one in the area of damage and multiparts.  This
time he looks more like a wrestler than a Tiger with clothes.  I heard
somewhere that this is what Namco wanted him to look like this whole
time, and in Tekken 3 they finally got it!

                            *********************
                             Fighting Strategies
                            *********************

Playing as King:

Multi-Parts are good but King is not dependent on them.  He's got many other
moves and combos.  One very simple combo I like to use is Turnaround Kick
(b+4) followed by his Clothesline (1+2).  Or another one you could also do is
Turning Hand Knife (1+2), followed by Clothesline (1+2), then do a Flying
Cross Chop (f,F+1+2), and Turnaround Kick (b+4).  That last one only works
sometimes and you have to get the timing just right.

King vs. King (Human vs. CPU):

When fighting against the CPU you have to vary your attacks!  Ten Hits are
good because the CPU will usually fall for the last 2 hits.  Even if it does
block all of the hits it will put him/her far enough away to prevent a counter
attack.

King vs. King (Human vs. Human):

This is the good part!  Don't be afraid to use Multi's as most people don't
know how to break out of them.  You can do 10 hits every once in a while but
don't use them too much, because most of the hits are high and easy to counter.


That's all!
