This is my personal way to improve your gameplay as a King player in the long run! Throws and grabs and all the big moves are fun, but what happens when you can't do them? This guide is here to introduce new strategies, as well as what tools you can use to compliment the bigger moves!

    Excellent video Jesandy- a lot of my subscribers who are new King players want to know the higher level strategy for King- so I’ll point them straight to this video!
  • @auntyaja
    Hit a wall recently with my King journey and this vid is EXACTLY what I needed to see. Literally noted out all the stuff I was doing wrong.
  • @demohunto3
    I wish more guides were like this man. Strategy and gameplan matters way more than just going every move or combos
  • @BatagorKeju27
    The best strat guide for King in my entire life. Since T7, never going out of red ranks because of so many holes in my King gameplay. And you are just exposing it. From me, the kind of King player that chilling out from far distance, whiffing so much, randomly throwing out running exploder, running 3, b12 in neutral, not choosing the safest option etc.. Since he's King, and he's a grappler, so I must getting comfortable playing King at range 0 to 1 since that the source of King gameplan from
  • Thanks for sharing your knowledge, Jesandy. It was a great surprise to find this video
  • @langitpinagkait
    Wonderful vid! Been wondering why I had issues ranking up, after watching some of my old replays, I was able to see a lot of the common mistakes you mentioned in regards to spacing and spamming throws which I never really thought about before. Thank you!
  • @Zeergruush
    Exactly the stuff I was looking for! Thanks! ^^
  • I've been playing all the characters to Fujin and I've been hardstuck Flaming/Battler ruler on King for so long. With the minor adjustment of staying at range 0-1 almost always I started winning every single game. Great guide Jesandy! Thanks a lot! hope to see you more active on here giving us King match up tips and maybe some of your own match analysis. You are the GOAT King imo
  • @MrGaskmask
    Thank for the guide, was very helpful to me as a King main. Loved that you focused on gameplan rather than big combos and throws. Release some of the pressure because I'm not a big combo guy. Finally, your advice made me realize that I'm going in the right direction.
  • @NATE270RULZ
    This treasure trove of knowledge 🧠 👑 keep on kingin 🙌
  • @frankt4971
    Appreciate it! I am definitely one of those King players that like to hover kind of far out of range. Gonna work on getting more comfortable being closer to the opponent.
  • @BatagorKeju27
    Let's GOOOOO!! Finally, Jesandy uploading King video
  • @1Ksheffi
    This Tekken 8 journey with King has been challenging to say the least, and lately, I've felt like I have run in to wall. I'm glad I saved this video to comeback to it. Thanks.
  • @PIENSAYLEE
    Thank so much, King is my main since Tekken 4 and now I am Fujin but I have stuck in the blue ranges. Your guide will help me advance
