Normals
King Piccolo hits like a truck and being over 8 feet tall, he has great reach as well. However, he is not much for speed.
Signature Move (S Button)
King Piccolo shoots a generic ki blast. He can shoot upward by pressing D + S / 2S and he shoots downward in the air.
Special Skills
Wind Strike (F + S/6S) – Similar to Master Roshi, King Piccolo creates a powerful wind with the wave of his hand. It doesn’t deal that much damage and has lower priority than most projectiles but it travels pretty fast.
Special Attacks
“You’re not dead yet.” (QCF + L/M/H / 236L/M/H) – King Piccolo attempts to grab the opponent and if he succeeds, he will punch them in the face then throw on the ground for a slide down. The L variation is short-ranged but it is the fastest, the M variation is slower but mid-ranged, and the H variation (meter burn) is like the M variation but longer-ranged.
It works against both grounded and sliding down opponents.
“Come, my child!” (QCB + L/M/H / 214L/M/H) – King Piccolo pukes out an egg giving birth to one of his children being either Cymbal for the L variation, Tambourine for the M variation, and Drum for the H variation (meter burn). Cymbal uses lightning projectiles and can fly, Tambourine has great speed and can also fly, and Drum empathizes speed and strength but doesn’t use lightning or flight. He can only summon them once but they will stay until they are defeated.
Eye Laser (QCF + S / 236S) – King Piccolo shoots lasers from his eyes. It is mid-ranged but it hits low.
Super Attacks
Explosive Demon Wave (QCF + L+M or H+S / 236L+M or H+S) *Costs 1 ki gauge* – King Piccolo charges up a large yellow energy wave. Pretty self-explanatory.
Hyper Explosive Demon Wave (QCB + L+M or H+S / 214L+M or H+S) *Costs 3 ki gauges* – King Piccolo builds up a ton of energy for a move that unleashes a blast that emits everywhere from his body. It’s wide in radius and hard to avoid.
