If Namco had a Character Slot (despite what Sakurai said), It’d be King from the Tekken Series.
In Smash Bros, his strenght lies in his grabs and powerful blows.

Notes
I thought of using the Moonsault Body Press as his Fsmash, but I found the Jaguar Hook to be more practical.
Otherwise the Moonsault Body Press would have looked like this:
Fsmash Moonsault Body Press: King attacks with a burning Moonsault.
High/very high knockback, up forward. 22%
I also thought of making the all so famous Tekken Ball his side B.
But I wanted King to fight without any type of projectile, so the Frankensteiner was placed on side B instead.
