Kim Kaphwan

Description
Kim Kaphwan fights for justice!
From the classic SNK game Fatal Fury 2, this taekwondo fighter uses his array of kicks and aerial moves to fight the opponent. This workshop creation was made for the FGC character jam. The focus of this character was on cancelling specials into specials rather than normals into specials.

Kim's Movekit
Cancels:
Kim can cancel his special as follows:
- Any specials can be cancelled out of dash attack
- Aerial down special or up special from aerial side special
- Up special from grounded side special
- Grounded down special into neutral special

Specials:
- Forward special is a twirl into a multi hitting kick move. The aerial version can be used to recover and hit opponents approaching from the air. The grounded version more reliably combos into up special.
- Grounded down special is a stomp that sends the opponent flying while not leaving Kim in stun. This can be cancelled directly into grounded neutral special. If neutral special is tapped in the correct window after hitting a stomp, something interesting happens... Down special can also avoid some low hitting attacks, such as Zetterburn down tilt.
- Aerial down special causes Kim to dive down through the air into a flurry of kicks. This move can be cancelled into a jump before it hits an opponent. Use this move as a mixup when stuck in the air or to hinder an opponent's recovery.
- Both grounded and neutral special causes Kim to halt all his movement and then fly through the air towards the opponent. Upon contact with the opponent, Kim will hit them with a flurry of kicks and a couple punches. This move is slower in the air, but causes Kim to fly further forwards, allowing for odd recovery routes.
- Up special is a flipping kick upwards, allowing Kim to recover vertically in the air. This move can also be cancelled into a forwards kick on hit with the attack button, which can hit the opponent if you read their DI.

This workshop of Kim Kaphwan was made for the 2025 FGC Jam. The jam version of this character is v1.0.

i feel like his nuetral could have been a mechanic all hi own with down special being his neutral and his slide attack being down special instead as a combo starter or linker but otherwise a very solid character very fun
