{{SSBU|King K.

He then proceeds to attempt to suck in an opponent or a Kannonball through the Vacuum function (officially called ''Suck Up''). Blunderbuss is an extremely crucial move to King K.

Kannonballs are mainly used to control space and thus limit opponent's options in competitive play. This is usually done through analyzing the opponent's habits and then responding with either grounded Kannonballs, or full hop ones. These control different levels, with grounded ones forcing aerial approaches and full hop ones forcing the opponent to play grounded, or full hop over the Kannonball themselves. King K. Rool can approach alongside this to build pressure, or use [[Crownerang]] to cover the leftover space. If a platform is in the way, one can hold down to force K. Rool to ignore the platform while shooting the Kannonball. | |||

Kannonballs have extremely high hitlag when they connect, which allows them to be great combo tools and + on shield at range<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HhfsVfMdpIasaFZnaiDL5s4kdj9ARahz-lwEbZi57pU/edit?usp=sharing Shield Data</ref>. | Kannonballs have extremely high hitlag when they connect, which allows them to be great combo tools and also + on shield at range<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HhfsVfMdpIasaFZnaiDL5s4kdj9ARahz-lwEbZi57pU/edit?usp=sharing Shield Data</ref>. Their high damage also enables them to beat out projectiles in some matchups (Such as notably {{SSBU|Luigi}}'s [[Fireball]]s)<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dFIauwn5Kh4QqUBbfadUu4TqMhpa2ujiAzn23pMyWnI/edit#gid=0 Projectile Interactions</ref>. These two factors also allow them to be extremely useful for hitconfirming [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Dash attack|dash attack]] or [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Forward tilt|forward tilt]] for around 30% from a small interaction. [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Grab|Grabs]] are also possible. Holding Vacuum if a Kannonball hits at close range guarantees a Vacuum Throw, allowing for a ~30% combo. | ||
Offstage, Kannonballs can be used to restrict recovery routes. Thanks to buffs in 6.0.0, Kannonballs have legitimate KO potential offstage at higher percentages, giving them a significant threat factor. K. Rool players often abuse this to get offstage [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Neutral aerial|neutral aerial]] and [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Forward aerial|forward aerial]] hits for [[gimp]]s or KOs. This can also be used alongside Crownerang for more effective coverage, however, the KO potential is greatly dampened | Offstage, Kannonballs can be used to restrict recovery routes.

During the period a Kannonball is out, Vacuum becomes available, and a Kannonball is active for 120 frames, meaning at a surface level K. Rool has Vacuum for 2 seconds. Once a Kannonball has connected with an opponent, wall or shield, it will retain a hitbox (dubbed the "Ricochet Hitbox") and remain active for around a second, but once it hits the floor it can quickly disappear. The length of time it remains out, as a result, fluctuates greatly. All of this comes together to mean K. Rool should have Vacuum for around 3-4 seconds. | |||

When Vacuum is available, K. Rool can use it and slide through platforms for mixups. Vacuum can be delayed for up to 19 frames rather than simply holding the button while in the preparation stance, allowing for mixups. As such, pressing B after the Blunderbuss during the frame window will trigger Vacuum instead. Vacuum will come out on frame 6 after the game allows it to be used, which is effectively frame 31 considering the preparation stance. Vacuum can be kept active for 30 frames, but can be extended for up to 90 frames - thus 120 frames - through holding the button. Tomahawk Vacuum is a very common play as well as the typical platform slip due to the [[windbox]]'s wide range. | When Vacuum is available, K. Rool can use it and slide through platforms for mixups.

Once Vacuum is active, it will progressively enlarge a Kannonball searchbox. If a Kannonball comes into contact with this, it will slowly approach the Blunderbuss muzzle while retaining the ricochet hitbox. Once it enters, K.

If a Kannonball comes into contact with this, it will slowly approach the Blunderbuss muzzle while retaining the ricochet hitbox. Once it enters, K. Rool will reshoot it with drastically increased damage and knockback. So much so, that it is +3 on shield at minimum range, allowing for shield mixups and virtually guaranteed grabs. There are three reshoot angles, all of which have some use, with a decision window of 6 frames as the reshoot begins. | ||
* The forward reshoot is largely considered the best, and allows K. Rool to quickly dash attack or [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Forward tilt|forward tilt]] opponents into the Reshot Kannonball from around 65%. At 0%, a reshot Kannonball at close range allows for a [[King K. Rool (SSBU)/Forward aerial|forward aerial]] followup.

However, Vacuum can also grab opponents, and will prioritize them over Kannonballs every time. During a throw, [[intangibility]] is given to opponents until just before [[hitstun]] ends.
