Blasted Salami. Thank you.

Cant get enough of That Blasted Salami。

Nothing stands out about him? And what about his design? He looks f'n AWESOME

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!!

I don't get why a guy like ARMOR king has a single weak ARMOR move...

Tekken community is lucky to have someone like you Keep up the awesome work bro

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

The most beautiful thumbnails in all of the Tekken community

This is the first time I saw a thumbnail for a video and was fascinated by how high quality and sharp it looked.

I know AK and King play different but he is still a weaker King imo. He is always gonna be cooler though

Playing Armor King always makes me miss the WCW back in the 90's.

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.

My exams are over, another blasted salami video is out, life is good

Love to see a lars breakdown as he has changed alot in season 3!

Thanks for the immaculate videos. The Tekken community has needed this for a long time. Cheers!

Please start uploading every week. My brain craves for videos like these!

Always at top level this videos! Only minus is that waiting for them takes a while.

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.

Top quality as expected. Thanks brother!

nice video for armor king s3 changes breakdown, looking forward to the other characters, keep it up, thumbs up

My man.

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.

What a great breakdown, props to you and your team

What a great video. The pdf is a really nice touch as well. Class all round.

High quality as always, but I still miss the tier rankings that you had in the previous videos

Persona 4 music at the end? Salami, you had my attention, but now you have my heart.

A prime opportunity to hear the T2 AK Death Valley theme, as you describe his flaws. Lovely.

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 .

Amazing content as always!

Lovely. Great video. Lookin forward to seeing Asuka changes

Fantastic as always

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.

Amazing video as always 👍🏻

YES! ITS FINALLY HERE!!!

Great Video. AK needs some more buffs tho.

man I can see your videos all day

Great video dude

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.

Finally! Love this channel

Yaay! I look forward to these!!

nice work salami

THIS IS THE BEST TEKKEN CHANNEL BY FAR

I've been using armor king since Tekken 6, and holy shizz. after watching this. I got better

I was JUST thinking about how I wish you made a video for him!

Keep up the sick videos guys!!

Beautiful video

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.

Good video as always.

Love this!!

Maybe not the strongest character but he's just so cool and so fun to play. Love AK anwyay.

Another great video. AK though, along with "standard" King, are two characters I've never never felt comfortable using, since their debut 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks for the video as always 😁🙏

Bro you can't just hit me with exposition that hard. I spent this whole video thinking about that fact.

Thanks for Armor King video, blasted team,, awesome

A lot of info in a small video. Good Job.

I still use him regularly nostalgia is too strong I just love the character.

Omg u finally uploaded 😍

Just in time. Just picked up armor King again

That retro Kazuya outfit tho. 😮

Ayiiiii the vid is Out !!! Was Looking forward to it 🙇

#buffarmorking!

The most demanded kazuya guide is still awaited!!

Thanks TBS! Will you have to update the Akuma guide after the nerf to the meter?

This Channel is perfekt for Tekken

Same thing as always - if you can translate this video to your language than you can do it. I will add english and russian subs soon.

God bless blasted salami for them good ass PDFs

i was today years old when i learned that there's also PDFs!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

The best Tekken guide ever!!!

This videos are so beautiful

Best Tekken Channel

8:45 that moment motivated me to play Armor King

Such a badass character

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!

Quality quality quality as always. Hoping AK get some buffs.

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

AK can do a hundred damage combo in rage. Though it starts off from a standing b+2/1/2 and needs the wall but can be adjusted for range.

Hey, I've been trying my best to make Armor King work to no avail... although I usually end up around top 8s during school tournaments. I'm fairly new to Tekken cuz I've been playing mostly Anime Fighters so I had no problem with difficult inputs, I only picked up Armor King cuz he looks cool and he is a grappler but people kept telling me to just switch to Kazuya cuz he is better... should I change my mains?

Poor Armor King he needs a lot of work to be a viable character in tournaments that doesn’t give you a hard time playing him.

Quality Content Incoming

Thank you Salami for always making great video for Tekken. Can't wait until Master Raven.

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

Huge props for that Bleach soundtrack

Im hyped for Lee’s video

Thanks for this, after watching this do i even want to play armour king for any reason then for the love of him. He feela so nerfed

I love that character

8:37 Oh shit, I've seen Rest at a local. He wrecked everyone.

Your Videos are always great Can you make a overveiw and changes on nina next time ?

Not even 10 seconds in and Marduk gets nut checked. This is going to be great

armor king will still be my go-to fighter 😤

Can we expect a full tutorial? I feel like there’s a depth of flow-charts and CH set ups to be explored

Waiting for Armor King Essentials

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.

Is that a Stage mod Blasmi? it looks amazing, or is it just no colorgrading? Looks great for the Iron Fist Tournament map

Armor King was, is and will always be the biggest Tekken badass.

Can we get a poll on potential future videos? Or that could be patron feature... But you should do both if you opt for polls! Cheers man.

Finally

Grabs may be easier to break but I barely see the grab animation most of the time, much less break it.

The fact that you compared his side step right to Anna’s 🤣 very true tho.

PLEASE do a full guide on Armor King

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!
