You may not think that a character that carries around a pillow could be a serious threat in a fighting game, but this compilation video of Korean player Lacid playing Meitinkun in The King of Fighters XIV would definitely make you think again. Lacid takes the wielder of the Sleepy Fist out for a few online matches, and the results are very impressive.
While some of the bigger combos he pulls off are eyebrow-raising, there is much to take away from the way Lacid plays Meitenkun. The way he uses HP Makura Nage (The upward pillow throw), for instance, keeps a good amount of pressure going; most of the opponents he faces in these matches spend most of the rounds in the corner.
For those interested, Lacid has hours of stream footage uploaded to his YouTube channel.
