Hitbox visualization showing King K. Rool's Hit 1 of neutral attack.

Overview

King K. Rool does a quick palm strike. Coming out Frame 4, this is King K. Rool's fastest move if we consider Hit 2 to use Hit 1's transition. As a result, it's handy to use in disadvantageous situations. While the move's hitbox doesn't quite match its animation, it is still quite large in terms of horizontal range, especially for a neutral attack. It is also slightly disjointed, due to the hands not being hurtboxes. To make it easier to get the jab combo, Hit 1 is programmed to deal 4 extra frames of hitstun after the regular calculation.

Neutral attack Hit 1 has one specific use on its own, in that it allows for regrabs out of bury states. This combats those who don't mash when trying to escape down throw into up smash, acting as the strongest mash deterrent that K. Rool has. However, it is very easy to mash out of down throw to Jab if the opponent is actually trying to, thus making it extremely unlikely to lead to loops. Confirming into Hits 2-3 is a reasonable alternative, being one of K. Rool's easiest and highest damage combos to do at mid%s.

It's also good for comboing out of down tilt even at lower percentages, usually allowing for a grab or dash attack.

While Hit 1 can lock, it doesn't hit all opponents, especially after they've missed the tech and are laying down. Ken is a good example of this. Usually, going into Hit 2 is recommended in these cases to try and score the lock, or using down aerial.

Trivia

  • Despite not having an ID 2 hitbox, the scripts have a flag for a hitbox with this ID to have the 4 extra frames of hitstun. This implies there used to be an ID 2 hitbox, but it was removed.
  • Despite being a "punch" attack, this attack uses kick SFX.
  • Hitbox ID 4 is effectively unused, due to being in the same spot, targeting the same grounded/aerial opponents and having a higher ID.
