==Overview==
==Overview==
King K. Rool does a quick claw swipe. Coming out Frame 3, this is King K. Rool's fastest move in general, although due to [[../Hit 1|Hit 1]]'s transition, it is technically Frame 9. Like Hit 1, this deals 4 extra frames of hitstun in addition to the usual amount. Due to the reasonably quick frame data and good active frames considering Hit 1, it's a niche option for baiting opponents trying to punish Hit 1.

Like Hit 1, this deals 4 extra frames of hitstun in addition to the usual amount. Due to the reasonably quick frame data and good active frames considering Hit 1, it's a niche option for baiting opponents trying to punish Hit 1. It is also slightly [[disjointed]] for the same reason as Hit 1: the lack of hand hurtboxes.  


Jab 2 has slightly [[disjointed]] hitboxes for the same reason as [[../Hit 1|Hit 1]]: the lack of hand hurtboxes. This, in tandem with the previous hit, makes it effective for cancelling out weak projectiles like {{SSBU|Luigi}}'s [[Fireball]]s, but due to the low damage, it is matchup-specific. In the event the cancelling out occurs, K. Rool sustains minimal recoil lag, allowing for a quick punish.
Hitting lower than Hit 1 means Hit 2 is better at [[lock]]ing<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BU1v14JpuTQEWmhYLzJn5KEBnKRN6GoAvs6g4QUhiag/edit?usp=sharing</ref> or hitting buried opponents<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/113W9WQAmUCBukC0gNI09o3giIjTVnG9rHbUyg-aV3l8/edit?usp=sharing</ref> than the prior. This is important in some matchups, although it takes time to set up and thus tends to lose to [[getup attack]]. Outside of this, the best use of Hit 2 is in niche spacing scenarios where one needs more hitboxes, or is going into [[../Hit 3|Hit 3]].

==Trivia==
* Despite being a "punch" attack, this attack uses kick SFX.
* Hitbox ID 4 is effectively only used for launching away items, as ID 3 can only hit fighters, to avoid launching items towards King K. Rool, hitting him.
