Level Up Your Game – SFxT – Marduk / King

by Rip

Continuing on in our Street Fighter x Tekken coverage, this week we cover the two grapplers of the Tekken series, Marduk and King. Both characters have unique playstyles and are a lot of fun. King’s combo potential is ridiculous so TastySteve on Cross Assault, take notes! #TeamTekken (Oh yeah, and stay tuned to the credits for a little bonus)

Also, congratulations to @lionheart88 on twitter for winning our first #TeamTekken shirt giveaway. We’ve got one more to give away so subscribe to our youtube channel and comment on the video or follow us on twitter @LevelUpYourGame and retweet the message at the end of the episode for a chance to win.

This King breakdown actually helped me a lot on the first day. Thank you Levelup! and make more!

Hugo genuinely scares me, why does he continuously shake!? WHY!??!

Its nice to see most of the moves are back from past tekken games for the tekken characters so each character still feels familiar for players who played past tekken games.

King looks so sweet, cant wait to get this game!

Nice work, very useful info. I'm really interested in yoshimitsu and jin. Keep it up! :D

King will always be the greatest grappler

King looks awesome, I'm kinda sad El Fuerte didn't make but looking at king... hey maybe I could still play a luchador, not exactly Elf but still pretty damn close (concept wise)

Really looking forward to King. Great vid, guys.

I am loving these character overview videos. Looking forward to the next ones.

I'm definitely going straight to King when the game comes out. Those juggles are too crazy with that follow up power bomb.

King looks pretty good, cant wait to anti-air with his counters. Does anybody know his wake up options if at all?

King looks pretty cool in this game. I hope u guys do a tutorial for Yoshimitsu/Raven soon.

so many grapplers in this game it's awesome

Thanks for the video tutorial. I've been considering giving King a try as one of my main teams (paired with Hugo for some grappling goodness) and it's good to see that he's still a solid character, especially since he was my main throughout the Tekken series.

You guys have the best character tutorial videos. Really in-depth. Good work!

Oh man, I cannot wait to footdive, juggle then command grab some suckers!

Looking forward to seeing more of the cast being broken down this way. Keep up the work.

King's my favorite Tekken character. I remember for the longest time I could never do his chain grabs. Then I stopped playing picked the game pack up and was able to do them again. I forgot them since I haven't been playing again though. Still can't really pull of the Rollin' Death Cradle which I wish I could.

Very nice and deep character breakdowns as always guys. Hopefully there will be a Steve one in the works.

Wow, this game is gonna be incredible!

I'll be rocking King for sure. Marduk not so much for me.

Can't wait to get my hands on this!

I want to see Steve, curious on how he plays.

I hope to see a Asuka and Ling Xiaoyu guide soon!

does king have hif f+2+3 in this game the shoulder ram?

That King stuff is super crazy. Great video, please do Jin next! Please!

I assumed that I was going to stick to SF for this, but some of these Tekken characters look amazing. Nice video btw

how many hop kicks can king connect in a row?

Very informative video. I think I'll be making King one of my characters now.

King and Zangief....talk about grapples ftw!!

Thanks for this guide, really shows me a lot of potential with these characters. After this I plan on using King along with Steve (who I can't wait to see the guide on.) Keep up the good work guys. :D

this game is like a dream come true

I kinda need to ask, does the 1+4 beat out everything once it's in the air? That move might be too good against non-dp characters. What about the hop kick? Does it launches people doing low?

It has a really slow start up but it is unblockable. Havent investigated the property to the fullest so not sure what it beats out/doesnt beat out. Hopkick does not launch people doing lows. You can see in the video that they can crouch under it and if they are doing low attacks, both players whiff. True high

Does king still have his multi-throws and kick counter?

His multithrows is just his super. Counters are still in, but not specific to kicks and punches. Instead theyre specific to jump in or grounded.

What are the recoveries on the counters? If my opponent is jumping towards me and I whiff the counter because they don't attack will they have time to punish me?

Its a major whiff like whiffing any special really. Whiffing anything in this game at ranges where your opponent can punish you is very costly. Very much like Tekken in that aspect
