To be fair, the Corporate Elbow (which is what the move is called in the game) was what the move was called IRL when The Rock was heel as part of The Corporation.
7:20 im pretty sure the d24 2nd hit always induced pancake flip. the season 3 change made it so that d243 last hit vs grounded opponents makes them unable to tech roll, just like the how noctis' emo man last hit vs grounded opponents make them unable to tech roll. or any other move that has a ground stun property vs grounded opponents.
You might be interested in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Armor King's wrestling moves are motion captured by a NJPW wrestler and Japanese wrestling legend by the name of Minoru Suzuki, which is most obvious in his Sleeper and multithrows.
Too fair a character.... We need more transitions into shadow step imo. I would say the b2 string and the f3 strings being cancellable into SS after the 2nd hit would be neat, and keep the flavor of the character
This, Shadow Step is already a limited option, then if the opponent is familiar with the AK moveset it becomes almost usleess. Transition into Shadow Step by cancelling the heatbut ? Off you go to hop kick city. Transition to ShadowStep after ff3 is also average at best, a mucher better option is to side-step after and use DU if the oponnet whiffs or go for a throw mix-up.
@Sarincrow I think he need's the good ol' mid dark upper from TTT because as it stands you can duck most of the important parts of his moveset. I also think his clothesline needs clean hit properties just so its more obvious when you are or are not able to get a full combo off of it. Otherwise I don't think he's bad. He obviously has pretty good jab pressure, and a full throw game, though I think he should have more things to do after a tackle.
Dude you/your Team, are "new" because I watched Tekken-Content-Creators for about 10 years now... and you just comin in and kickin everybodys ass... no disrespect to others but this guy is legit number 1 now.
This video is cool , i know many things about tekken but everytime this man uploads , i must watch his shits whatever it is . Keep it up mate , you are the best .
You know I'm just getting into Tekken again after a year of absence and I just realized I was subscribed to this channel! I've been following for years! Lol.
Just picked up Tekken a few months ago and I was instantly hooked. Don't have a good pc so can't play 7 yet. I have been sticking to 6 for quite some time and it's my dream to have a new laptop to play 7 on, and I have been watching your videos for a while now. Although your guides for me maybe a bit weird due to differences between the games, it has helped me understand a lot about Tekken's system and characters, especially AK who's my go-to. All I want to say is even though I'm basically a man out of time, thank you for making these guides and keeping my interest and investment in Tekken. I sure hope it will be worth it in the future for me.
Glad SOMEONE mentioned his gutted sidestep in T7. Going from a character with UNUSUALLY long sidestep compared to his relatively big frame to weaker than average is massive, particularity when it comes to SS into Dark Uppercut launch. I really feel His power, core design and tier listing have took the one of biggest nosedives in T7(nothing beats Lars tough) But I am happy that he has managed to not only keep his audience but also expand it. the ammount of players that are playing him is STAGGERING, especially considering that he is a bloody DLC character.
T7's collab with NJPW was a huge success and brought many professional pro wrestling fans to the Tekken franchise, from what I can gather. In that regard, AK makes sense as a character who would be very popular among puroresu nerds. His Poison Mist being inspired by The Great Kabuki and The Great Muta while many of his moves are mo-capped by a current NJPW wrestler. Lil Majin has also championed for AK a lot on recent livestreams and in ranked play. It's also not like AK was unpopular in TT2, he was one of the best tag characters. I think all of this contributed to his evergrowing popularity.
Bleach music 👀 I really wanted more changes for Armor King, but being the designated Jack of All Trades restricts what he's allowed to gain, unfortunately. Give him too much and he'd be the next Devil Jin. One thing he does really stand out that I think was glossed over was his excellent pushback punish game. He's basically the only character that can punish Bryan's 3+4 at all (aside from Anna with rage), and he gets high damage with b+3 into microdash f+1+4, which works on a lot of other moves as well now, especially with the pushback nerfs to some of them. Also, the Lariat change also makes the Dark Upper combo possible after hopkick, CH d/f+3, and delayed hopkick as well. That's 73 damage on his i15 launch from crouching, same 80 damage on a safe CH mid, and 85 damage on a staggered low.
Is it just me, or all those rage drives just... SUPER aesthetically pleasing, as to how they all blended together? Just me? Okay, I'll see myself out. Lol
I wish I didn’t suck at this game I got tekken a week ago and I instantly wanted armor king to be my main but I don’t know how you guys do all these inputs it’s insane
Richard Montes De Oca That’s the problem I use analog stick for fighting games I find the movement way easier and spacing but I’m actually getting better with the inputs still not great at all but getting there
08:05 FUCKING FINALLY, someone pointing out the SS nerf in this game. I cannot believe you guys actually went out of your way to note this awful change.
@@Leadblast I know that but still play him as main in ranked get with him fujin. I'm not like those who play charcters just because they are the strongest I play Armor king because his amazing Badass charcter
@@Leadblast i give you my opinion why did you so shite heat do have a shit brain I give reason to play the charcter there a lot who cares but you are a nasty looser
@@Leadblast go eat your shit don't tell me to do your hobbys kid A lot who cares about me but it's seems you didn't finde any body who cares about you how sad are you a brawler? Hhhhhahaha
I think Armor King isa great choice for beginers since he is a character that is versatile and literary have anything in his arsenal to punish his opponents! The only skill Barrier that AK have for new players is that they need to get good at the game in general because AK requires great understanding of the game such as movement,spacing and punishing! The thing is you need to learn those things if you wanna get good and climb up and AK is a decent character for that as he will force/teach you to learn the game! So far there are 3 things that made AK a semi difficult character 1. Requires a decent understanding of the game(such as wavedash,backdash,punish) to be played effectively 2. Is that he can’t pressure and dictate the fight 3. Is that he bad at building up frames But other that this 3, he is a pretty easy character to pick up though there more characters who is easier to play than him like Lars,Claudio or Bob, yet you wouldn’t need to character grind with him like the Mishimas, Jin, Yoshi or Bryan!
The one change I appreciate from this video as opposed to the season 2 one's is the exclusion of the letter grade. That doesn't really matter when the pilot is the architect of play. It's just a silly quantifier for a talking point that people use to follow the game.
It’s a bit unorthodox but thinking of FC db,d,db 1+2 and his d2+4, d1+3 crouch throws as part of his punishment for blocked lows changes the way one might see his punishment options, especially on forgotten realm. Same goes for King
@@COMMANDLIST1 it can be teched but it's a mix-up. For lows that leave the opponent in crouch you can use the crouch throws which is a 1 or 2 break. For lows that recover standing you can do db,d,db 1+2 or giant swing which is a 1+2 or 1 break
A few details: 1. Don't agree about the oki. f4 is great but vs siderolls you suggest ground throws. The problem is that AK's ground throws are very bad - all his gt2 literally don't do damage in the open and the frames don't matter because opponent is too far away. 2. AK is weak vs SSR (and crouching!), true. His homing moves are slow, true as well. But he has certain moves vs SSR, for example df2 (df21 makes it safe on block) and f34 (especially with the CH changes) which you didn't mention. f34 is a mm safe string that on CH guarantees the 3 extension which wallsplats, knocks down, and tracks SSR. Otherwise great video!
Cheers for the feedback! Armor King's okizeme would be even better if his GT2 gave more than just advantage in the open, but in the grand scheme of things it's still pretty damn good. Df+2 and f+3,4 are also good options for catching SSR as you mentioned, but for the purpose of an overview we can't exhaustively cover every option.
@@gamwpanagia it's really simple to set mind games when your -2. You still have some flexibility from that position. D+4 is how I set ws 2 quite often. Lee has a couple of different attacks that leave him - on hit, but attacking isn't necessarily a bad option at all with him as well.

Keep going around giving misguided advice though
What do you guys think of his DDT throw? Since its a 1+2 grab its animation allows for a 50/50 throw break mixup with Giant Swing just like Shining Wizard, it does more damage than Shining Wizard (45 damage + 10 damage from guaranteed getup 3, the 1 situation where T7 system changes benefitted AK), and its input (d/b, d/b+1+2) allows it to be buffered from other moves (and backdash!) much more easily than Shining Wizard ever could

Keep up the awesome work bro
This is the first time I saw a thumbnail for a video and was fascinated by how high quality and sharp it looked.
The most beautiful thumbnails in all of the Tekken community
Love to see a lars breakdown as he has changed alot in season 3!
He's going through the list alphabetically
Yeah, what McStuffin said. Lars will be a bit down the line.
Groisu Lars has low combo damage? with walls he can get almost 100 damage per launcher...
Calling it the People’s Elbow is more appropriate for the babyface King, while the heel AK is the true heir to the Corporate Elbow name. Just some fun wrestling stuff lol
Edit: really enjoying the PDF versions of the guides, thanks a lot!!
Could also call it Flashing Elbow, since AK takes after Great Muta a lot.
@@Suiki1 That's definitely where The Rock got his elbow from, the Japanese legend Keiji Mutoh.
It's called the Corporate Elbow in the game lol
To be fair, the Corporate Elbow (which is what the move is called in the game) was what the move was called IRL when The Rock was heel as part of The Corporation.

I don't get why a guy like ARMOR king has a single weak ARMOR move...
its the best against Akuma in particular, when akuma jumps
It's because Armor King is a badass and doesn't need one

Grabs may be easier to break but I barely see the grab animation most of the time, much less break it.
Can't wait for zafina)':

Also gotta mention how disgustingly good he is on floor break stages
The fact that you compared his side step right to Anna’s 🤣 very true tho.

A few details:
1. Don't agree about the oki. f4 is great but vs siderolls you suggest ground throws. The problem is that AK's ground throws are very bad - all his gt2 literally don't do damage in the open and the frames don't matter because opponent is too far away.
