Armor King

A mysterious character making his debut in Tekken 1 (1994) differing from the Armor King that we know now; has been in every Tekken installment except Tekken 3 and Tekken 4. Armor King has a very simple and straight-forward playstyle, meaning he does not extensively rely on excessive 50/50s, unlike his partner and rival, King. Instead, Armor King focuses on pokes and momentum. Although he has great poking tools, he is very limited in the options he can use to effectively open up an opponent. Therefore, causing the player to rely greatly on their knowledge of the games' fundamentals and matchup experience.
