Ahh, the deckbuilding forums. Long time no see. Due to a long time hatred for the control-orientated Block 3 and glad to see a rotation up and coming, I'm thoroughly enjoying playing the Mini-Block format, known as NEWFS.

Anyways, enough reminiscing, there's a reason you came here, to see a deck. You may be thinking "Oh god not another King deck" when you read this, but I've actually looked into King's support and nit-picked what's good and what's bad. I made King my character of choice from Tekken not only because he's great, but he's my fave in the Tekken games, much like other characters I have built. I can do his throw combos too, and I'm not kidding - I only just learned the Screwdriver combo the other day!

They call me 'The King' for a reason! - v1.0 (yeah, stole that line from Sagat)

Characters: 1
1x King*

Actions: 4
4x Beserker Rage

Assets: 4
2x Jaguar Mask
2x Path of the Master

Attacks: 16
4x Cobra Twist
4x Flooded Nile Throw
4x Flinging Half Nelson
4x Cobra Clutch

Foundations: 36
4x The Man Behind the Mask
4x Torn Hero
4x Brooding
4x Undisputed Ruler
4x Enemies now Friends
4x Memories of a Nightmare
4x Ka Technique
4x Strength of Ages
4x King of the Ring

Now the deck's missing Mexican Sensation, the only card I need to complete the deck as I don't have enough copies yet. everything in the deck has been of some use, although I haven't had full use of King of the Ring yet.

The idea's simple: Turn 1 you spew all your foundations and assets. If you happen to check a throw and none are in your hand, feel free to turn King 90 degrees. And then each turn you play a throw (preferably Cobra Clutch because it sets up the combo for the other 2 King throws), then another, then another... and so on and so forth. If you're opponent's not out for the count by turn 3 or 4, then something's going wrong.

STILL TO DO: Get more copies of Mexican Sensation. This thing will work wonders with King's F. Probably will be exchanging it with Memories of a Nightmare, or King of the Ring if that 4 difficulty gets too much for the deck.

reverse ddt? seriously run it.

(post too short )

Okay, the 3 main reasons why I don't run King's Reverse DDT?

1) I only have one copy so far.

2) the 6 difficulty doesn't help my deck, nor the Form abilities on King or Jaguar Mask.

3) Trying to get the combo looks troublesome, as playing the Reverse DDT on an 8 is not easy. It's not really worth it for slowing the opponent down rather than killing them there and then.

This.

The card is fantastic sideboard tech against tech against hilde and cassy, but i just think that if you want to play a two check it better win you the game every time. Enter Flinging Half Nelson. Its only 5 diff, great block, combos with it self, synergizes well with king's f in that you can enhance it at the end of your form chain, and deals a CRAP load of damage (especially with potm. always comes across for like 20 when played right.) I just cant justify funning reverse ddt main over fling. card is too pringles.

Latest changes for the deck

- Beserker Rage
+ Base Hold

With Beserker Rage, I found it's stats were getting in the way, especially if I had played a series of throws, then King F, then Rage. That card was just too difficult to play at most times and would end up failing it and losing 3 vitality for nothing. Combined with Brooding, the deck was a little too suicidal. So what to play for another damage pump? In steps Base Hold, which can work offensively or defensively if my opponent plays weapons. In offense I could use Base Hold then King F for a Cobra Clutch, coming in for 5H7 Throw at base damage. As for Defense, works seriously well with Man Behind the Mask, as that minimum 1 isn't a problem any more.

- King of the Ring
+ Mexican Sensation

As I expected, "Sexycan Mensation" works wonders. Play a throw, discard another throw using Mexican Sensation, then King F to grab back the throw I discarded. And as I mentioned about King of the Ring, it was too difficult to use effectively in this deck.

Sideboard Added:
1x Siegfried.
1x Rashotep..
2x The Double Crown of Egypt
2x Bracers of Horus and Set
2x King's Reverse DDT

As the deck was originally Rashotep before Tekken 6 came out, I've got him in the side, along with another character who works well with Path of the Master, and has his own source of damage pump. The Bracers work really well with throws, especially when Rashotep. And of course, when encoutering high hand pains like Kisheri and Christie, the Reverse DDT cripples them for a bit. Still haven't had use of it yet though.

hey guys i drop out for a bit here and was just wondering whats do POTM stands for cause i think it would help my king deck too talk to you all later canada1

Path Of the Master, the asset given to the POTM event winner (Jon Herr).

Okay, playing last week, I found some a major flaw: The deck sucks in terms of defense (ie. Vs Heihachi, Bryan, or anything faster than me damage wise).

So the recent change has been taking out Strength of Ages for four Earth character blocks - Astaroth, (Mai) Ragnar, Rashotep and Siegfried (the latter 2 brought in from the sideboard). I've also added a 3rd Path of the Master and taken out an Undisputed Ruler to improve the checks a little more. I've sided a couple of Tien Lei, Iron Thunder to help against Kisheri or Nina.

Considering putting in Konvict Kick instead of Cobra Twist as Twist hasn't been helping me recently due to low base damage, whereas KK can pump the damage of my next throw. Also doesnt help when I draw into too many throws and I can't use King's F, so cutting down might help out. Will also side into Rashotep more often because speed killers like Hilde rely on character abilities.
