Click to expand: King Crimson Strategy by Arna

"You're supposed to try to play around your miserable attack speed.

Supplement your jabs with spec jabs since they are actually fast.

Use donut a lot because its an okay threat that you can always move cancel. So if you miss, you aren't minus; if you hit, you get some neat damage that can go into a combo if you're dialed in. If they block it, you move cancel regardless so you have many plus frames and can take your turn.

Learn your combo routing so you can extract the maximum possible damage from every hit, because KC's defining trait is its cataclysmic damage output.

You should basically be finding an excuse to move cancel at any given moment because there is usually a good use case for it. You can also move cancel from something punishable into epitaph for an easy counter bait. The bnb requires you move cancel the barrage before its final launching hit. You can also use move cancel into desummon to get easy bake tandem combos.

You have One (1) fast attack option in the form of barrage; you should really mostly use it for defense. Its a great combo extender but it has much higher value as your only very fast mashing option that you can combo out of.

Time erase is le goated. Proper use will confuse players of any skill level, grant you a chance to recover, and an ambush opportunity. Pair this with blood toss for incredibly scary offense."

Trivia
