I. Why Kim Kaphwan?
===================
Kim is still as good as he was in KoF2k2. He's gained back his KoF Hishou
Kyaku, as well as his air DM Hou'ou Kyaku. So basically, Kim got better. Now if
the Programmers would just give him back Ryuusei Raku, I'd be an even happier
man.

-------------------------------
Descriptions of Basic Commands:
-------------------------------
Life Gauge-
SvC has adapted to 2 Life Gauges like Samurai Spirits 4. The Yellow Life Gauge
serves as the 1st half of your life, as the Red Life Gauge serves the 2nd half
of your life. The Red Life Gauge is something to pay attention too, especially
when it comes time to use your Exceed. More on that below.
Guard Gauge-
This gauge is under the Life Gauge. It's a GREEN Gauge that operates on Block
Damage. With each attack you block, the gauge starts to deplete. Once the Guard
Gauge runs out, words will appear on the screen saying, "Guard Crash!!". At the
same time, your GUARD will be broken, while being STUNNED for a brief moment.
Thus, leaving yourself open for a attack. Once you've been GC, your Guard Gauge
will return to normal.
Front Ground Step- f, f
Dashing is quite different from what it was in the KoF games. FGS is a new type
of dash that has the opponent slide forward. The distance it covers is around 6
steps (Sweep Distance). But what's so unique about this Dash is that you can
cancel out of it at anytime. The FGS can be canceled from a regular attack,
specials, supers, throws, and even taunts.
Falling Recovery Roll- AB before hitting the ground
Whenever hit by an attack that knocks you to the ground, you can recover before
hitting the pavement. This command will only work if hit by basic attacks,
special attacks, Super Moves that knock ya on to the ground.
Throws- when close, AB or CD
SvC has adapted to the 2 Button Throws from SFA3 and SFIII: 3rd Strike. The AB
Throws are the type that toss the opponent in front of you, as the CD Throws
toss the opponent behind you. The only downfall about the throws is that once
you miss a throw attempt, you'll LOSE 1/5th of a Level. So be close as possible
while attempting a throw. f + AB/CD may help too.
Throw Escape- when grabbed, AB or CD
If done correctly, you're character will push away the opponent about 2 steps
away from you. All throws must be broken with the same buttons as the opponent
is throwing you with. Meaning AB breaks AB and CD breaks CD Throws. Throw
Escapes do not work in the air. Characters that can throw in the air are Ken,
Violent Ken, Akuma/Gouki, Shin Akuma/Shin Gouki, Guile, Chun Li, Mai, and
Vega/Balrog.
Guard Cancel Front Step- when blocking, f, f (requires 1/5th of a Level)
Quick Guard Cancel Front Step- when blocking, BC (requires 3/5th of a Level)
When blocking an attack, your character will Front Ground Step towards the
opponent. You're Character is INVICIBILE during the Front Ground Step, until
you cancel out of it or wait till it the Front Ground Step ends. This move can
be used as a way to escape Pressure Attacks and score Free Hits. Theres no
difference between the Quick GCFS or the Normal GCFS, it's just the the BC
version is a shortcut if you can't do the f, f version.
Guard Knockdown Attack- when blocking, CD (requires 1 Power Stock/Level)
When blocking an attack, your character will perform the CD Attack, which will
knock the opponent away from you. In SvC, the Guard Knockdown Attack deals a
little damage to the opponent. Great to distance yourself from the opponent
though.
MAXIMUM Mode Activation- When Power Gauge reaches Level 3
Returning from KoF'2k2 with new abilties. Max Mode occurs when you reach Level
3 on the Power Gauge. This results in your character gaining Cancel Abilities
on certain attacks. You have 3 Levels in MAX Mode. MAX Mode has a Time Limit of
at least 17 seconds. During this time you are allowed to.....
-Perform 1 to 3 Super Moves/Desperation Moves (free in MAX Mode)
-Perform Guard Cancel Front Step (reduces 1/5th or 3/5th of the MAX Mode Gauge)
-Perform Guard Knockdown Attacks (requires 1 Level in MAX Mode)
-Perform Free Cancels on Normal/Special Moves (reduces 1/4 of the MAX Mode
Gauge each cancel)
-Perform Super Cancels for the Super Moves/Desperation Moves (requires 1 Level
in MAX Mode)
-Perform Free Super Cancel on Exceed's
-Damage Decreases by 25% on the opponent when hit with Special Attacks.
Notes: WHITE Flashes will occur each time you "Cancel" into a special move.
You are allowed to MAX Cancel Normal/Special Moves around 6-8 times.
You cannot build up your Power Gauge during MAX Mode, unless the opponent
Taunts. The taunt will build some power to the MAXIMUM Gauge.
You lose more Power Meter on the MAXIMUM GAUGE if you do Free Cancels, S*/DM's,
and Super Cancels. This results in shorten time in MAX Mode.
Desperation Moves/Super Moves- (requires 1 Power Stock/Level)
In order to use S*, you must fill up the Power Gauge to stock a S*. You can
store up to 2 stocks. You can also get 3 more stocks of S* in MAXIMUM MODE.
Most S* can inflict damage up to a Quarter of Health, on the Life Gauge.
Exceed- requires 2nd Life Gauge with the Characters Name FLASHING RED
Exceed Attacks are the lvl.3/SDM's of the game. In order to perform a Exceed,
your 1st Life Gauge must be 50% (1/2 or more) gone. Once this is established,
The NAME of your Character will begin to FLASH RED. During this time, you can
perform the Ex. You are allowed only ONE Ex Attack per Match. Meaning, if you
use it during Round-1, you won't be able to use the Ex in Round-2 or 3.
REMEMBER, ONCE PER MATCH!
Super Cancels- (requires 1 Power Stock/Level in MAXIMUM MODE)
This feature is back from KoF2k2. The only difference is, that Super Cancels
can only be done in MAXIMUM MODE. Super Canceling allows you to cancel special
moves into S*/Ex. In order to Super Cancel, you must have a least 1 Power
Stock/Level at the most. When the character starts to flash white, this
indicates that you have successfully Super Canceled.
=====================
IV. Kim's Basic Moves
=====================
A (weak punch):
standing- Standard Jab which reaches out forward and hits mid-range. Comes out
fast.
crouching- Low Jab which comes out fast and can be canceled into sC, Sanren
Geki x3, Hien Zan, Haki Kyaku, S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku, or S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku.
This is Kim's best crouching move cancel.
jumping and diagonal jumping- 45 degree angle downward jab which can be used as
a cross-up. This move is god. It still has the same animation from KoF2k1&2k2.
It's his BEST Combo Jump Attack and cross-up. It's also cancelable into Hishou
Kyaku and S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku.
close- Standard Jab which hits high. Comes out fast and can be canceled into
sC, Sanren Geki x3, B Haki Kyaku, S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku, and S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku.
B (weak kick):
standing- High Snap Kick that comes out fast.
crouching- Quick Low Kick which comes out fast and can be canceled into
standing A or croching A/B. This is how you'll be able to start crouching
strings/combos with Kim.
jumping- Vertical High Kick which comes out fast. Awful jump-in to start a
crouching combo. Not much use for it though.
close- An AUTO 2-hit of a Low and High Kick which comes out fast and can be
canceled on the first hit with either Sanren Geki x3, B Haki Kyaku, Hangetsu
Zan, Neri Chagi, S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku, and S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku. It can also be
canceled on the second hit with the moves I stated above. Best followed up with
B Haki Kyaku, Any S*, or Ex.
C (strong punch):
standing- Mid-Range Side Hook Kick which comes out fast. Great poke attack.
crouching- Rising High Kick which comes out fast and can be canceled with
Sanren Geki x3, Haki Kyaku, Hangetsu Zan, Hien Zan, S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku, and
S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku! Great anti-air attack as well.
jumping- Jumping Axe Kick. Comes out fast and has great priority too. You can
use this as your air-to-air attack. Crouching A/B/D or Standing A/B/C is the
only thing that can combo in.
diagonal jumping- Jumping Axe Kick. Comes out fast as a jump-in. Can do the
things I mentioned above (jumping C). Can be used as a Cross-Up attack.
close- An AUTO 2-hit Mid-Range Side Kick which comes out VERY Fast this year.
Kim can no longer cancel on the first hit anymore, like the previous KoF's. You
can cancel on the second hit with either Sanren Geki x3, Haki Kyaku, Hangetsu
Zan, Neri Chagi, S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku, S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku! Another great combo
starter.
D (strong kick):
standing- Spinning Double Roundhouse Kick which comes out fast. Not much use
for this move.
crouching- Standard Sweep Kick with great reach and speed. Can cancel Sanren
Geki x3, Haki Kyaku, Hangetsu Zan, Hien Zan, Neri Chagi, S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku,
or S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku even if the sweep does or doesn't hit. Doing this will
allow you to catch the opponent off guard, which you can score free hits. Great
to end crouching poke strings. You can also CANCEL OUT cD without even seeing
the sweep come out. You must be fast though.
jumping- Standard snap Kick which comes out fast. See Below for more info.
diagonal jumping- Standard Snap Kick and one of his other best jump-in attacks
to start combos. This is also his cross-up move. If you charge down while doing
the drop kick, you can perform Hien Zan immediatly after you land. Great
air-to-air attack.
close- Fast Axe Kick and AUTO 2-hit which can be canceled on the first hit into
either Sanren Geki x3, Haki Kyaku, Hangetsu Zan, Neri Chagi, S* Hou'ou Hiten
Kyaku, and S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku! You can also cancel on the second hit with
Hangetsu Zan, S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku, or S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku.
Guard Cancel Front Step- when blocking, f, f
Quick Guard Cancel Front Step- when blocking, BC
When blocking a attack, Kim will do a Sliding Dash forward to avoid the attack.
Very Fast and Invincible at the start up of the move. Invincibility stays until
you cancel out the GCFS or let the dash end. The range covers about 3 Character
Steps (Sweep Distance).
Guard Knockdown Attack- when blocking, CD
When blocking a attack, Kim does a Side Hook Kick. If connected, the attack
knocks the opponent full screen away from you. You can not cancel out of it
either. Use to distance you from the opponent or if your getting LOCKDOWN.

------------------
Move Descriptions:
------------------
Kubi Kime Otoshi- when close, AB
Kim will grab the opponent by the shoulders, then putting his legs between the
opponents neck, while slamming the opponent to the ground.
Sakkyaku Nage- when close, CD
Kim will grab the opponent by the leg and shoulder, then tossing the opponent
across the screen. Great throw to distance yourself from the opponent.
Neri Chagi- f + B
Kim's overhead axe kick which does 2 hits, high and low. Neri Chagi comes out
fast this year. The only use for it would have to be, when your opponent
turtles a lot. If ya see the opponent ducking a lot, do Neri Chagi. This move
can be canceled from close A/B/C/D, but won't connect, do to it's slowness up
close. If you somehow hit Neri Chagi when opponent does or doesn't block after
close A/B/C/D, you can cancel Neri Chagi's first or last hit with Hangetsu Zan,
Haki Kyaku, Sanren Geki, S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku, or S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku.
Hangetsu Zan- qcb + B/D
Kim flips forward while doing an overhead hit with each foot and ending in a
split position. This move comes out fast. The B version has very short
distance, while the D version goes half screen. Hangetsu Zan can be canceled
from close C and close D (first or second hit). It's one of Kim's great
pressure moves too. The D version is a Great Cancel move in MAX Mode too. B
version can super cancel into S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku or S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku.
Haki Kyaku- d, d + B/D
Kim uses his back foot to stomp on the ground, as the whole background shakes.
The B version come out fast, but the wave around the kick is how far it goes.
Haki Kyaku eats up ground projectiles, but it's the timing of the kick that
will stop them. B Haki Kyaku can be Super Canceled if close enough to the
opponent into S* Hou'ou Kyaku, but only in MAX MODE. The D version comes out
slow, but will knockdown the opponent if hit.
Hien Zan- charge d, u + B/D
Kim does a somersault kick straight up in the air. Kim was given his FF2 Hien
Zan just like KoF2k2. It's got great range this time around. Has INVICIBLITY
start up too. Great anti-air attack, but hard to combo off of, unless your
close or in the corner. The B version has great recovery time and moves him 2
steps forward, where the D version has slow recovery time and moves Kim half
screen distance. In MAX Mode, B/D version can cancel into S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku.
>Tenshou Kyaku- d + D (follow up after D Hien Zan)
The D Hien Zan can be followed up with d + D Tenshou Kyaku. Tenshou Kyaku is an
overhead Axe Kick. Tenshou Kyaku sends the opponent flying SMACKDOWN to the
ground. This move will give ya extra damage if followed up.
Hishou Kyaku- in air, qcf + B/D
Kim does a series of bicyle kicks 30/45 degrees downward from the air. This is
a great move because the damage and recovery time. The speed is a plus as well.
Hishou Kyaku can cross-up as well. Nice for chip damage and Guard Crush
Pressure.
Sanren Geki- qcb + A/C x3
In the A version, Kim does 2 Spinning Roundhouse Kicks and a 2-hit Neri Chagi
to finish. In the C version, Kim does 2 Spinning Roundhouse Kicks and a 2-hit
Kuu Sa Jin to finish. A 4-hit Combo if A/C versions are connected. Deals out
great damage and a nice pressure too. Unlike KoF2k2, you can choose between the
A or C ender for Sanren Geki. A good example would be qcb + A x2, qcb + C. If
you imput Sanren Geki like the example, you should have ended with the C
Version of Sanren Geki.
>Kuu Sa Jin- uf + B/D (follow up #1 after the 1st hit of Sanren Geki)
As soon as Kim does his 1st Spinning Roundhouse Kick, he can follow up with Kuu
Sa Jin. Kuu Sa Jin ascends 45 degrees upwards.
>Tenshou Kyaku- d + B/D (follow up #2 after Kuu Sa Jin)
As soon as Kim does his Kuu Sa Jin follow up, he can then finish off with
Tenshou Kyaku. Tenshou Kyaku is an overhead Axe Kick. This move will send the
opponent back first unto the ground.
Taunt- Start
Kim gives a deep breath sigh and says,"HMPH!" while shruging his shoulders with
his hands out. It's kinda like he's telling you to come on or your boring.
Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku- qcf, qcf + B/D
Kim will do an Ascending High Kick to launch up the opponent in the air. Unlike
in KoF'99, in which Kim launched the opponent into the air than finished with a
Massive Neri Chagi. Now you can follow up with anything from Hishou Kyaku, Hien
Zan, Hangetsu Zan, Sanren Geki, and S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku! It's great for an
anti-air attack. While the B version kicks the opponent away from Kim, the D
version kicks the opponent STRAIGHT UP into the air like KoF2k-2k2. Also on
Counter Hit, Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku does a little bit more damage.
Hou'ou Kyaku- qcb, db, f + B/D (air)
Kim's classic DM since Fatal Fury 2 in which he does a long jump towards the
opponent. If connected, Kim does a series of kicks, then finishes with Tenshou
Kyaku. Hou'ou Kyaku goes full screeen, so it covers distance. Hou'ou Kyaku is
extremely fast and can beat out some moves at times. It can be used as an
anti-air too. If Kim misses Hou'ou Kyaku, he gets this pissed off look and can
be hit or worse right after the opponent blocks. So be careful. ;)
Ex Hou'ou Kyaku- qcb, db, f + BD (air)
His Ex Hou'ou Kyaku will have the background flash BLUE and WHITE, then Kim
will do a long jump, while he starts off with Hishou Kyaku and does a longer
version of kicks and lifts the opponent with a series of Kuu Sa Jin's, then
follows up with Tenshou Kyaku as the finisher. This is a very damaging Exceed.
It can be Super canceled from the C version of Sanren Geki's 3rd follow up and
the uf + B/D follow up as well. Great air to air attack too, But can be snuffed
at times.

=============================
Haki Kyaku "BUG" Explaination
=============================
This is a "BUG" from Kim's "Super Canceled" B Haki Kyaku. This "BUG" has been
around since KoF'98. You must have under 3 Power Stocks/Levels to perform this
infinite. Now when "Super Canceling" B Haki Kyaku, you must cancel it into S*
Hou'ou Kyaku. But instead of hitting BD like KoF2k1-2k2, you can HIT B or D
(qcb, db, f + B/D) If done correctly, Kim will "WHIFF" the S* and "FLASH"
White. While flashing white, Kim can follow up with anything. You can do it
continuously until S* Hou'ou Kyaku comes out while entering MAX MODE. Think of
the "FLASH" as a FREE Cancel.
Note: Kim must start with NO Power Stocks/Levels in order to get the FULL
INFINITE (40-Hits). It will become a semi infinite if you reach 3 Power
Stocks/Levels. This is because ONCE it "HITS" 3 Power Stocks/Levels, the
"WHIFF" will no longer work. Instead, Kim's S* Hou'ou Kyaku will come out. So
always pay close attention to the Power Gauge if attepting the Infinite. During
the FREE Cancel on B Haki Kyaku, you can jump cancel out of the move.
===============
VII. Strategies
===============
-------
OFFENSE
-------
Kim is PURE RUSHDOWN! His attacks are all pressure. He still remains a bit
toned down power wise, but he still has what it takes to be one of the best!
His got the poke strings and pressure moves to keep the opponent busy. He can
also get that Power Gauge built up like no other.
Front Ground Step is KEY with Kim. Just utilizing the Front Ground Step like
jump canceling into Hishou Kyaku will get you closer to the opponent. Also
doing poke strings then Front Ground Step while canceling into more poke
strings.
Kim's cD (sweep) is one of his best moves. Kim's cD can cancel into special
moves like Hangetsu Zan (Best Pressure after cD). This applys more pressure to
the opponent when blocking.
Example: You do Kim's cB, cA, cD, into B Hangetsu Zan. let's say the sweep (cD)
gets blocked, but they get hit by the B Hangetsu Zan. I'd say it's a Mistake
PUNISHER. Not only does the opponent get hit by the B Hangetsu Zan, but you can
Super Cancel into a Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku or Hou'ou Kyaku if your in MAX MODE.
You can also use Kim's B Haki Kyaku "Super Cancel BUG" to apply MAD pressure
and build alot of Meter for Power Stocks/Levels.
-------
DEFENSE
-------
Kim is not a turtler. He's got a couple moves that can give him somewhat of a
Defensive game. He's got 4 good Anti-Airs to keep the air friendly opponent
away from you. Kim's got nice pokes to space himself out. but don't have Kim
getting LOCKDOWN. This can result with him losing alot of life. This isn't
where you want to be.
If you find yourself cornered or LOCKDOWN, you can always turn the tide with
Guard Cancel Front Step (when blocking, f, f or BC). This will at least shift
you back to offense.
You can also use the GCFS to play a safe game. Just wait till you have a chance
to GCFS, then do sC, qcb + P, uf + K, d + K or sC into any S*/Ex.
----------
Recovering
----------
Kim only has 3 wake up moves, his Hien Zan (charge d, u + B/D), S* Hou'ou Hiten
Kyaku, and Throws.
Use his B Hien Zan if opponent is dashing/walking towards you.
Use D Hien Zan if opponent jumps towards you while recovery. D Hien Zan is
quite safe in MAX MODE, since you can cancel the 1st hit into Hangetsu Zan or
Sanren Geki.
Use throws if opponent is over you while there throwing out meaty attacks.
Use S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku if opponent jumps towards you while recovery.
-------------------
Poke Attack Strings
-------------------
Kim has a few strings which can keep the opponent at bay. His strings are based
on how he gets to the opponent, either Front Ground Step or Front Ground Step
Jump Cancel towards them with a jA/C/D. I'll list a few pokes such as.....
cB, cA, cD (Bread and Butter String)
cB, cA, cD, Hangetsu Zan
cB, cA, cD, Haki Kyaku
cB, cA, FGS, cA, Sanren Geki x3/follow ups
cB, cA, FGS, Throw (AB/CD)
cB, cA, FGS, cA, Throw (AB/CD)
cB, cA, FGS, cA, sC, Hangetsu Zan
cB, cA, FGS, cA, sC, Haki Kyaku
cB, cA, FGS, Hishou Kyaku, sA/C
cB, cA, FGS, Hishou Kyaku, sA/C, Far sA/C, Hishou Kyaku, Far sA/C
cB, cA, FGS, cA, cB, cD, Hangetsu Zan
cB, cA, FGS, cA, sC, B Haki Kyaku(*), S* Hou'ou Kyaku, cA, sC, Hangetsu Zan
cB, cA, A Sanren Kyaku x3 (Overhead/Low Mix-up)
cB, cA, C Sanren Kyaku x3 (High Mix Up)
cB, c/sA, Neri Chagi (Overhead Mix up)
cB, c/sA, Neri Chagi, Hangetsu Zan
cB, c/sA, Neri Chagi, Sanren Geki x3/follow ups
cA, sB, Haki Kyaku
cB, cA, far sC/D
cB, cA, far sA, far sC/D
cB, cB, cA, cD
Far sA/C, Hishou Kyaku, Far sA/C
cB, sB, Haki Kyaku
cB, sB, Neri Chagi
cB, sB, Neri Chagi, Hangetsu Zan
cB, sB, Neri Chagi, A/C Sanren Geki x3 (Overhead/Low Mix-up)
cA, Sanren Geki x2, B Hangetsu Zan, Sanren Geki x2, D Hangetsu Zan (MAX MODE
ONLY)
cA, A Sanren Geki x3, B Hangetsu Zan, Sanren Geki x1, D Hangetsu Zan, Sanren
Geki x1, D Hangetsu Zan, B Hien Zan (MAX MODE ONLY)
It's always good to keep the pressure on the opponent. The Attack Strings will
have your Power Gauge FULL in no time.
-----------------------
Bread and Butter Combos
-----------------------
These are just some of Kim's combos that are a MUST LEARN.
cA, A Sanren Geki, Kuu Sa Jin, Tenshou Kyaku (qcb + A, uf + B, d + B) MUST
LEARN!
cA, sC, Hangetsu Zan
cA, S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku, S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku
sB, B Haki Kyaku
B Haki Kyaku(*), S* Hou'ou Kyaku (MAX MODE)
cC, S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku
--------
Pressure
--------
You can use many of Kim's moves to Pressure the opponent. Poke Strings are KEY!
-Front Ground Step (f, f)
By using the Front Ground Step, you can continue to pressure the opponent after
Poke Strings. This will get you even more closer to the opponent. It's LOCKDOWN!
-B Haki Kyaku (d, d + B)
You can use the Super Cancel BUG to apply tons of pressure and build meter. You
can do infinite pressure with B Haki Kyaku and Poke Strings combined as well.
Just make sure you have at least the Super Cancel down. Remember that when
doing the Super Cancel Bug, KIm becomes safe after Haki Kyaku. SO he cannot be
punished after it.
---------
Anti-Airs
---------
-Hien Zan (charge d, u + B/D)
If you do decide to turtle up, always have Hien Zan charged. This way if the
opponent jumps right at you, BAM! Hien Zan will knockdown the opponent. You can
then take the opportunity to dash in there and and let them have some pokes
strings. B Hien Zan is safer and better to use, because of it's recovery time.
Only use D Hien Zan if you're really sure you can land it or if in MAX MODE
where it's safe because you can cancel into Sanren Geki on the 1st hit. Hien
Zan can hit at GREAT RANGE, since the Cresent Slash from the kick covers so
much range.
-cC
A good anti-air against cross-up attacks. If you hit the opponent with a cC on
Counter Hit, hit them with a Hien Zan/Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku for a Counter Hit
follow up.
-S* Hou'ou Hiten Kyaku (qcf, qcf + B/D)
Another great anti-air. It's a Anti-Air that will let you juggle the opponent
with a jCD, Hishou Kyaku, S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku if connected. It tends to TRADE
hits with the opponent.
-S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku (qcb, db, f + B/D)
A great anti-air for opponents that like to do jump-ins.
---------------
Air-to-Air Game
---------------
-jA
Great Jump Attack. Nice move to bait the opponent to jump in the air. If you
hit with jA, make sure you always cancel into Hishou Kyaku (in the air, qcf +
B/D). But jA really shines if it's a "COUNTER HIT". Then it can combo into
S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku.
-jD
A Good Jump Attack. Has nice range, but may not beat out some jump attacks.
Best used as a back jump attack.
-jC
a Great Jump Attack. It can be used to jump attack forward, back, or straigth
up into the air. Has SO MUCH priority over most moves. Only bad thing is, it
suffers on range.
-S* Hou'ou Kyaku (in air, qcb, db, f + B/D)
-Ex Hou'ou Kyaku (in air, qcb, db, f + BD)
Beats out mostly anything. You can used this as a Back Dash Attack too.
---------
Cross-Ups
---------
-jA
This is best used if opponent is crouching. A good way to cross up is when the
opponent is waking up. A good example to use is by sweeping (cD) the opponent,
then high jump over them with the cross up. This also works well with jD.
-jC
Best used when opponent is standing,
-jD
Can be used for both crouching and standing.
------------------------
Front Ground Step (f, f)
------------------------
Kim's FGS comes in handy when you knockdown the opponent. You can either dash
in with sC (cA, sC is optional), A/C Sanren Geki x3 or do Hangetsu Zan. It's
best to sC with Hangetsu Zan. It will build up your Power Gauge and apply
pressure to make Guard Crushes a little more easier.
Kim can use his FGS to Poke from afar. His Best Pokes would have to be his far
sA, far sC, and far sD. I'd say his far sC is his Best Poke IMO. He can also
Cancel far sC into Hangetsu Zan and Sanren Geki in MAX MODE.
You can MIX IT up and DASH in with a cA, FGS, then throw. Of course there are
more creative ways too.
---------------------
Building Power Stocks
---------------------
The best way for building up for Power Stock is either doing Attack Strings or
B Haki Kyaku.
-B Haki Kyaku (d, d + B)
Mainly you just keep repeating the STOMP until the opponent starts to attack
you. The best way of doing this would be either Knocking down the opponent and
then do B Haki Kyaku's until they recover. You could also do Kim's Sakkyaku
Nage (when close, CD) and wait for them to recover. The Body Toss will space
out Kim and the opponent, given Kim MORE time to build the Power Gauge up. You
could also use Kim's B Haki Kyaku "BUG" as well.
-B Hishou Kyaku (in air, qcf + B)
Just simply jump back and do B Hishou Kyaku. Just keep repeating till the
opponent catches on.
Example: jump back, B Hishou Kyaku, jump back, B Hishou Kyaku, etc.....
------
Throws
------
Kim can get throws off easy by simply "Tick Throwing". Tick Throwing is done by
hitting a opponent with a cA/B, then walk up and throw.
While waking up from an attack, you can get a throw in.
You can also "WHIFF" a jC towards your opponent. When the jC Whiffs, you'll
land right next to the opponent and be able to get a FREE Throw in. But you
must attack with jC real late to WHIFF the jC animation.
-------------
MISCELLANEOUS
-------------
-Back Dash (b, b)
During Kim's Back Dash, you can cancel into S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku or Hishou Kyaku.
-S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku Shortcut
You can perform S*/Ex Hou'ou Kyaku by doing d, b, f + K.
Super Canceling without having a Exceed Attack will result in the character to
flash white. The Exceed won't come out, instead you WHIFF the Super Cancel. You
can also do this while entering MAX MODE on your 1st Life Gauge. I still can't
make heads or tails off this one. All characters can do this WHIFF SUPER
CANCEL. It seems to have no strange properties like fast recovery time.
-sC/cC, B Haki Kyaku
For some strange reason, Kim's sC, B Haki Kyaku doesn't combo on all the
characters (unless you cross-up with jA/D). The cause might be to the stun and
push back off the sC/cC on certain characters. So, if that's the case, I'll
make a list of the characters that can be hit with "sC/cC, B Haki Kyaku".
-Dhalsim
-Sagat
-Balrog/Vega (only while crouching)
-M. Bison/Balrog
-Tessa/Tabasa
-Hugo
-Dan Hibiki (only cC works)
-Violent Ken (only cC works)
-Iori Yagami/"Riot of the Blood" Iori Yagami
-Terry Bogard
-Mr. Karate/True Mr. Karate
-Ryo Sakazaki
-Choi Bounge
-Kim Kaphwan
-Shiki
-Kasumi Todo
-Earthquake
-Genjuro Kibagami
-Gesse Howard
-Mars People
-Athena

======================================
Entrance 1- Kim stretchs each of his legs. After that, he says, "Ikuzo!"
("Let's go!") Then, Kim goes into his fighting stance.
Entrance 2- (Kim vs. EVIL Characters)
Kim stands with his back slightly turned towards the background. Kim proceeds
to turn his head and then he begins to slowly open his eyes, while raising his
arm slowly up to point at the Evil Character. During this, he says, "Aku wa
yurasan!" ("Evil cannot be forgiven!"). Then, Kim goes into his fighting stance.
Win Pose 1- Kim wipes sweat off his forehead and puts both hands on his waist,
saying, "Naka naka no otemai!" ("A good fight from a good friend!")

Ascending High Kick), in which he then goes into his Junbi Stance, saying,
"hwah!"
Time Over Pose- Kim shrugs his shoulder with his hands out to the side, while
making a goofy expression on his face.
Note: Kim did this pose way back in Fatal Fury 2, whenever you picked him as a
character on the character select screen.
Character Select Screen Pose- Kim wipes sweat off his forehead and puts both
hands on his waist.

---------------------
Kim: You've gotten bigger. You could be Choi's splitting image.
Vega: You're pathetic. Unable to appreciate my unparalelled beauty!
Kim: What a cruel glare... Just what evil have you done so far?
Vega: To attain pure beauty, the deaths of a few are of no consequence.
Kim: What stupidity...! I cannot forgive you!
-----------------------
Kim Kaphwan vs. Balrog-
-----------------------
Kim: Oh, so it's you?
Balrog: You know me? Impressive. It deserves a smidge of mercy or two.
Kim: In spite of your ability, you fight dirty. And it got you banned.
Balrog: ...And you'd like to say?
Kim: With my rehabilitation, I can turn you around. Rehabilitate two.
Rehabilitate three. It's no difference to me.
Balrog: Rehabilitate? Say what? If you think you can, give it a shot!
Kim: Evil blocks your sincere understanding! Evil is my enemy!
---------------------
Kim Kaphwan vs. Hugo-
---------------------
Kim: ...Impressive specimens. Far superior to Chang.
Hugo: What do you want? Are you looking to become my partner?
Kim: How about making the most of your gifts and master Tae Kwon Do?
Poison: A wager then... If you lose, you must join our troupe!
Kim: Wah ha ha! Me lose? That's funny!
----------------------
Kim Kaphwan vs. Tessa-
----------------------
Tessa: Tae Kwon Do? Too many foot moves... Not interested.
Kim: Wait! It is time you learn the wonder of justice's strength!
Tessa: Justice, you say? Sounds intriguing. This justice... I'd like to study it
scientifically.
Kim: You don't need to. Justice courses through my body.
Tessa: Ooh, how inviting. That's more reason to look into it.
---------------------------
Kim Kaphwan vs. Dan Hibiki-
---------------------------
Kim: If you too are a fighter, you really should work on that gut, my friend.
Dan: Hey, do I know you? Want a knuckle sandwich?
Kim: You just don't get it. I'm just saying I'll put you into shape!
--------------------------------
Kim Kaphwan vs. Demitri Maximov-
--------------------------------
Kim: Ungodly creature! What brings you to this world?!
Demitri: Hmm hmm. This world... is ripe for my rule.
Kim: As long as I'm around, evil will never reign!
---------------------------
Kim Kaphwan vs. Shin Akuma-
---------------------------
Kim: A real fighter fights responsibly! Got that?
Akuma: Ludicrous!
Kim: For the likes of you, justice's hammer's coming down hard on your head.
----------------------------
Kim Kaphwan vs. Violent Ken-
----------------------------
Ki,: It seems you are fully in evil's grip...
Ken: Ooh-whoaaaa! ...Pure destruction... No evil. No good...
Kim: What can I do? It's up to me to pry you loose, I guess.
---------------------
Kim Kaphwan vs. Zero-
---------------------
Zero: Beat it, bub...
Kim: You dare say to me... justice incarnate... "Beat it, bub"? Could it be...
that you are evil? (Ping!)
Zero: No, it couldn't... It is! You nub!
----------------------------
Kim Kaphwan vs. Red Arremer-
----------------------------
Kim: There's something really wrong with this guy!
Red: Gyah-gyah!
Kim: I'll rehab you!

Red Arremer)
Evil is as strong as good. Stop worrying, booballa! I'll
rehabilitate you.

You lost by a sliver... You're so close to my abilities, it's
scary. Not!

---------
(Kim with arms cross as the sun sets behind him)
Kim:
..An incomprehensibly imposing evil still runs wild in this koo-koo
nutty world.
(Scene cuts to Kim looking into the sunset while clenching his fist)
Kim:
Work it! We'll yet rip out the roots of evil yet...! Get to it, you guys!
Let's do it!
(Next scene cuts outside of Kim's Tae Kwon Do Dojo. You can see the people
looking/hearing the noise coming from the shaking Dojo.)
Kim:
You call that training! Get with it, you slackers...
(The last scene cuts to Kim kicking at Chang, while Choi and Chang try to
escape from Kim's clutches. Both the Criminals have "TERRIFIYING" looks on
their faces, with May Lee/Jae Hoon standing in the background, confused and
troubled too.)
Kim:
..Or we'll never beat the monstrous evil in the world!
Chang:
Boy, we sure...
