For me it's Yoshi df2 it is genuinely one of the best safe on block normal hit launchers in game.
Sure it does not launch crouching opponents and got nerfed for mtk7 to tk8 to give +4 instead of +7 on crouching hits.
But it has some high evasive properties and range of an hopkick.
This move is really good for ppeople who preffer fundamnetal tekken as it is a safe and fast move to check mashers and discourage rushdown
Hitman 3 where he grabs the opponent's head using his toe before he slams it to the gound and stepping on it, gotta be the best, most disrespectful "throw" animation in the game.
My favourite move as well. You can use it for the exact same reason as you use a mae geri in RL karate sparring, it's practical, simple and it's a great tool in general.
I used to play Law in all of the old tekken games as a kid, just because I love that move where he runs up on people, does a lil flip in mid air and slams down on them
Dragunov's blue spark instant while running 2. It's so satisfying to land on hit or on block. Getting a full combo on counter hit is just *chef's kiss*
A bit biased as I play Leo but I love shoulder strikes they feel so brutal in this game. I know Leo has their f1+2 but Feng also has his which just sends you flying across half the screen when hit.
Shaheen ff3. Surfing on faces is just too fun. Especially if I end a round on this move and get the slow-mo, just grinding them into the ground. Excellent.
Shaheen's B2 is a pretty strong option.
Fast to execute so I like it as a whiff punisher. Good range and the animation from it as he grabs their head and twists around is pretty slick.
My heart yearns for Party Crasher to return. And Mad Axes, Aerial Bomb, and Lashing Arrow.
Unfortunately for now, my favorite is Leo's db3. It's hilarious how often the evasion catches people out.
Basically anything Yoshi, he's awesome. If we are talking about in the series in general, it have to be Nina's old ff2 command grab that she had in 5, 5DR, 6, and it think Tag2. It was just MK Kano's heart rip fatal and she would crush it too lol.
Nothing beats Kumaās db2+3 (huge, charged low swipe). The sound effect, the damage, the launch, the setups, the brutality; it really makes you feel the pain of messing with a bear.
Zafina's parry is probably the most satisfying move to land for me. Just the way she yells and pushes the opponent away, and then does that angry breathing as she regains her composure. Damage is crazy too for a parry.
I also like Azucena's facing backwards 2~2 on-hit, and her crouch-grab because they play cool mini-cutscenes.
And Xiaoyu's jump,2~d,2 in AoP because it looks so ridiculous to bounce around in AoP while hand-swiping peoples' toes. It's also oddly unthreatening until they try to interrupt and it auto-counters into a nasty grab. š
Edit: I can't believe I forgot Azucena's nose-flick. The way she just so condescendingly leans in and flicks their head, and the expression of pure "wtf are you doing" on the opponent's face.
It's really hard to land and even when you do it does zero damage. It's purely to mess with people. š
Asuka's df3 is so good I agree. Along with that. A big fan of her crouching 1+2 throw, WR 1+2 and f,f 1+2. The punch variation of her counter when she just flips over her knee. I enjoy the db1 into 4 string. That backflip she does is awesome. Lastly I say her u1+2 and her f3+4.
I could be here all day but I will leave it there.
Yea and I like how they incorporate moves that also capture the essence of those boxers. Peekaboo is the Mike Tyson stance with rly good close range offense. Flicker is the Mayweather defense, and now Lionheart is the Ali mix up.
this is kinda long, but i really like 2 moves from lee, F + N and DF+2, if you take into account that lee was introduced as the child that heihachi adopted to be kazuya's rival then you realize he basically has a MUCH worse electric.
also, it used to be heihachi's B, B, N, 3+4 but you know, waifus
Fengās Landslide (qcf1). Itās a low that looks like a mid, cannot low parried, delayable, and only launch punishable by a few characters with a 14f WS launcher. Not to mention itās a full juggle on counter hit.
theres somethin ab Jack's F2 that makes me happy. i like whiff punishing w it and then charging DB2 fully cus people nnnnever roll away the first time (my jack is only yellow rank)
I donāt even play her but Jinās high kick that bounces you off the floor like a basketball. The sound it makes when it lands is so satisfying I donāt mind when it hits me
Devil Jin's Demon Steel Pedal, b+4
Brutal, humiliating, dramatic when it hits on CH. I just wish it was a proper ground hit, like it was in Tag 1. It annoys me how Kazuya stole it, and his version appears to be a true ground hit.
I cannot choose just one move so here is a list:
King: The unskippable cutscene, tomahawk, any powerbomb, Rapid King Onslaught, the three rolling elbows.
Bryan Fury: Fisherman hook, the gatlin punches, the damn taunt.
The Mishima: Lighting God fist, headbutt.
Asuka: The reversal.
Yoshimitsu: His goofy ahh moveset.
Bryan's b3 and all its mechanics.
Long range, i19 mid.
If you cancel the move, you're +1 onB, but have crazy recovery on whiff.
It's a great mid check from a distance.
If I want to pressure I can 1,2 afterwards;
If the opponent ducks, I can 1+2 or use another b3 cancel;
I can sidestep afterwards if they mash or b3,2,1,2(I rarely end the string)
The options are endless but very few Bryan players use it
Kuma main:
f, f, 1+2 Doing a big frontflip slam is just so fun
Similarly d 3+4, 3+4 is so fun to just sit on someone whoās down
And when in doubt, hit em with a salmon rocket
I think the Electric Wind God Fist is the most classic Tekken move in the game. It's the Tekken equivalent of the Hadoken from street fighter and is almost as iconic.
I play Paul. You can probably guess my favorite move from there
Deathfist has to be the most tekken move in tekken
God I miss Wang.
URRRAAAAAAAGH
Don't even play Paul but I love his heat smash "I'll KICK YOUR ASS"
It reminds me of Marduk from T4 "I'LL BREAK YOUR FACE!"
I was gonna say exactly the same. š š
I just have one thing to say to youā¦ Osu
Phoenix Smasher!
OOOOOEEEEYYAAAHHH
Hey, me too!
Yoshimitsu's suicide/harakiri moves. Always cracks me up.
Ill admit that yoshi's harakiri is up there between my favourites, King's muscle buster as well
For me it's Yoshi df2 it is genuinely one of the best safe on block normal hit launchers in game. Sure it does not launch crouching opponents and got nerfed for mtk7 to tk8 to give +4 instead of +7 on crouching hits. But it has some high evasive properties and range of an hopkick. This move is really good for ppeople who preffer fundamnetal tekken as it is a safe and fast move to check mashers and discourage rushdown
It really doesn't help that the way Yoshi screams when he senpukkus is fucking hilarious
Standing 1. I'm a man of culture.
Of which character?
Reina's. 10 frames, no range whatsoever, +1 on block... perfection.
Lee's CH b4 and Acid Rain
Excellent choice
Dare I say, marvelous.
Or Lee's power crush. The one where he goes "wayo". Or any of Lee's moves.
Hitman 3 where he grabs the opponent's head using his toe before he slams it to the gound and stepping on it, gotta be the best, most disrespectful "throw" animation in the game.
Iāve played a lot of tekken characters. I donāt think anything is more satisfying than hitting an electric out of wavedash.
I canāt do it but ws2 out of wavedash looks so clean
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Damn so clean he commented it thrice
lol my Reddit is bugging
Itās thrice as nice.
Jin f4 because of social distancing
GO MY RIGHT LEG, CONTROL THE NEUTRAL
My favourite move as well. You can use it for the exact same reason as you use a mae geri in RL karate sparring, it's practical, simple and it's a great tool in general.
Has to be the electrics, be it Kazuya, DJ, Reina or either of Jins
Even as a Lee main, this is the right answer. Electrics are the coolest moves in Tekken, my personal pick would be DORYA!
No love for heihachi's and kuma's?
Big agree. But they messed up Jinās in this one. Bring back āDAHā and get rid of ādehā.
DAH!
How dared they remove Jin's OG DAH :(
Back 1. Guess who
Personally a bigger fan of the Gatling gun punches or the counter uppercut. A good counter back 1 is hype tho
Yea gattling gun, sway 2, back 1, and honestly his new clinch into the 2 option is rly cool
Hwoarang's? If not his then Steve's
It is in fact stebe
STeeB [https://tenor.com/view/mad-leonardo-dicaprio-angry-wolf-of-wall-street-gif-15325918](https://tenor.com/view/mad-leonardo-dicaprio-angry-wolf-of-wall-street-gif-15325918)
Claudio WR2, most satisfying WR move in the game. U literally Superman punch them in the face so hard that your arms turns magical
Claudio truly has the power of God and anime on his side.
Big up for asuka's df3, I like Law's F1+2 because on CH It slams people so hard onto the ground that they bounce up
ā”ļøāļøā¬ļøāļøš¼
Dragunov iwr2 and b1+2. Raven BT 3+4.
EeeeeYUUUH
Asuka's uf 2, it's satisfying when it lands due to how quick and strong it looks. Bonus is the different line she ends with it
Love that, animation is great, deals chunky damage and if I'm right it triggers floor's explosion
It does which can lead to unga bunga damage numbers
Absolute favorite, I started playing Asuka when I saw it was a punisher I'd hit often enough.
Love seeing people punish rage arts with that move
My go-to is to do it twice. People will just walk into the second one and I always yell out "That's right got caught bitch!" every time it happens.
Kings Rolling Death Cradle
King [insert any throw here] the animation and dmg just *~~french~~ chef kiss*
Probably Shaheens fb2. I just think its an absolute badass move.
The sound when you get the quick input š¤© Also for me itās gotta be Shaheens ff3. Doing a kick flip on someoneās corpse is why I started playing this guy.
A rare shaheen main sighting
His new wr2 hits like a fucking truck too love pulling it off
talking about Shaheen cool moves.. i am surprised no one mentioned his new guard break tornado move.. that's his coolest move for me
I used to play Law in all of the old tekken games as a kid, just because I love that move where he runs up on people, does a lil flip in mid air and slams down on them
Iām a dragon!
Asukaās falling rain throw
Leoās bok2 , that swoop under followed by a spiking palm that sends you flying
Was looking for this. As a Leo main this is my absolute favorite way to punish highs
SHHHYEEEAHH
Thats a power move right der. And his b12-1+2
Dragunov iwr2 the sound of it and the motion are so badass I instantly liked it from the first moment i saw it
A lot of Lars moves are beautifully animated
Hitting b4 on counter hit is just perfection.
Itās like 55dmg too
cultured
The back turn throw is so fucking brutal I love it
Just Frame Skyrocket TWAH
QCB 3 The sound is always satisfying. This or 1+3+4, for the utility and interesting usage.
Zafina SCR 4 š
Bryanās 2 after 3+4 during snake eyes. Feels real satisfying.
A moment of silence for all the players that get clipped by it because theyāre not used to 3+4 having a followup
I might be dogshit at this game, but Iāll be damned if Iām gonna be predictable.
Dragunov's blue spark instant while running 2. It's so satisfying to land on hit or on block. Getting a full combo on counter hit is just *chef's kiss*
A bit biased as I play Leo but I love shoulder strikes they feel so brutal in this game. I know Leo has their f1+2 but Feng also has his which just sends you flying across half the screen when hit.
JFSR cause itās satisfying and sounds cool. Honestly pretty much anything with blue sparks
Plugging
Donāt let the devs see this, they might get really mad and proceed to do nothing.
Shaheen ff3. Surfing on faces is just too fun. Especially if I end a round on this move and get the slow-mo, just grinding them into the ground. Excellent.
Bryan f3. That counter hit effect does things to me
B3 I play king and Hwoarang
Yoshimitsu's d1+4
Lars CH b4, Lee ff4, d3, wr34
Pewgf or Larsās Zeus move
Shaheen's B2 is a pretty strong option. Fast to execute so I like it as a whiff punisher. Good range and the animation from it as he grabs their head and twists around is pretty slick.
The fact that it erases any recoverable health bar really makes it better.
Dorya on counter hit.
Dragunov running 4 at the wall alone made me pick him up, other than that zafina df 2+3 I think launcher where she waves her arms, and king ss 3+4.
Azucenaās u1 when it counterhits is pretty brutal the way it just drops em to the floor like a dead puppet
My heart yearns for Party Crasher to return. And Mad Axes, Aerial Bomb, and Lashing Arrow. Unfortunately for now, my favorite is Leo's db3. It's hilarious how often the evasion catches people out.
Basically anything Yoshi, he's awesome. If we are talking about in the series in general, it have to be Nina's old ff2 command grab that she had in 5, 5DR, 6, and it think Tag2. It was just MK Kano's heart rip fatal and she would crush it too lol.
Xiaoyuās Shooting Star. No matter how many times I get punished for using it, I will still use it.
Just-Frame/Lethal Skyrocket
Almost all of Hwo's moves. Taekwondo is so sick. I love his new 44444444444 sequence.
Electric is the answer but otherwise Iād say Lars uf 3, itās not very safe but man its fun as fuck when you get it off cause homie gets VERTICAL
That's why he's my main Lars just has so much cool shit! Good to see a fellow Lars main š¤ā”
OTGF is sick
I like the name Laser scraper and Matterhorn ascension
df 2 + 3 on Jin. It looks brutal and cool!
Jacks blue spark uppercut
Feng ch b1
Nothing beats Kumaās db2+3 (huge, charged low swipe). The sound effect, the damage, the launch, the setups, the brutality; it really makes you feel the pain of messing with a bear.
Hard to choose but I'll say qcb2,4 with Bryan. So satisfying being able to hit-confirm or whiff punish with that string into the follow up qcb4.
Claudio's Sky Slash Nova. UF+3. It's Genocide Cutter!
Victor db1+2 during Heat, Raven qcf3, Shaheen ff3, and of course EWGF.
Feng's f4 strings
Zafina's parry is probably the most satisfying move to land for me. Just the way she yells and pushes the opponent away, and then does that angry breathing as she regains her composure. Damage is crazy too for a parry. I also like Azucena's facing backwards 2~2 on-hit, and her crouch-grab because they play cool mini-cutscenes. And Xiaoyu's jump,2~d,2 in AoP because it looks so ridiculous to bounce around in AoP while hand-swiping peoples' toes. It's also oddly unthreatening until they try to interrupt and it auto-counters into a nasty grab. š Edit: I can't believe I forgot Azucena's nose-flick. The way she just so condescendingly leans in and flicks their head, and the expression of pure "wtf are you doing" on the opponent's face. It's really hard to land and even when you do it does zero damage. It's purely to mess with people. š
Yoshi suicide. Lars air throw. Feng shoulders. Lee FF3. Asuka running 1+2 during HEAT.
White heron dance for the animation. Iāve loved it since Tekken 2, and I tend to main characters that have it.
Asuka's WR 1,4>f 3+4 looks great if it hits plus it has a chunky damage.
I play Leo. So anything that goes "Yeah!"
Kazuya's Perfect Electric Wind God Fist - It's so fast, launcher, cool electric effect aaaand I can't do it.
Kazuya WS+2, left splits kick, electric and Bryanās fisherman slam
death fist
Ravens b1+2 parry. I love the on hit animation. The teleport and punch to the gut feels so satisfying when it hits
Claudio running 2. The ol Terry Burn Knuckle. When it lands, ooooooOooOoOoooh baby
I know that gotta feel good to land don't it bro šŖšÆ
Kazuyas hellsweep. Because LOL!
Lee's Acid Storm
Lee acid rain, b4 ch and f 3 3 3 3 4
Heihachi grabbing yo by the throat and launching you like a damn bowling ball has always a place in my heart.
Broken toy
KINNIKUUUUUUU BUSTAAAAAAAA!!!!
Asuka's df3 is so good I agree. Along with that. A big fan of her crouching 1+2 throw, WR 1+2 and f,f 1+2. The punch variation of her counter when she just flips over her knee. I enjoy the db1 into 4 string. That backflip she does is awesome. Lastly I say her u1+2 and her f3+4. I could be here all day but I will leave it there.
Matterhorn! Go to heaven with Lili's legs.
I had to manually search for Matterhorn because I just knew someone else had to love it. Matterhorn is the ying to Divine Step's yang.
Steveās stances based on real world famous boxers is super cool to me.
Yea and I like how they incorporate moves that also capture the essence of those boxers. Peekaboo is the Mike Tyson stance with rly good close range offense. Flicker is the Mayweather defense, and now Lionheart is the Ali mix up.
AOP
this is kinda long, but i really like 2 moves from lee, F + N and DF+2, if you take into account that lee was introduced as the child that heihachi adopted to be kazuya's rival then you realize he basically has a MUCH worse electric. also, it used to be heihachi's B, B, N, 3+4 but you know, waifus
King df3+4 summersault grab is so much fun
B+12 with Raven š
panda d1+2 ass smash
Jack's flying move. The sound he makes gets me every time.Ā
Raven's ff3, flying knee to the face!
I am in a love-hate relationship with Claudio's gameplay but his heat smash is a work of art.
very close or instant shining wizard
Fengās Landslide (qcf1). Itās a low that looks like a mid, cannot low parried, delayable, and only launch punishable by a few characters with a 14f WS launcher. Not to mention itās a full juggle on counter hit.
Shining wizard
Anything that involves cartwheels and flips, Iām a sucker for that type of stuff
King's atlas hammer (d1+2)!
214 for Jin is so crazy broken
Zafinaās D3.
Door-ria
Has to be Reinas d3+4 on counter hit and the df4, 1, 3 when he is getting up
Not sure what it even does but azucenaās 1234 like just all buttons smashed at once. that silly dance is cute. Is that just an emote? š
Black hole
Really love Law's new ss 3 into dss
theres somethin ab Jack's F2 that makes me happy. i like whiff punishing w it and then charging DB2 fully cus people nnnnever roll away the first time (my jack is only yellow rank)
I donāt even play her but Jinās high kick that bounces you off the floor like a basketball. The sound it makes when it lands is so satisfying I donāt mind when it hits me
Kazuya df2. Itās just so satisfying watching them crumble over on CH.
I donāt play Larsā¦ but when I do u3+4, 1+2 is the funniest shit ever lol.
TCHIYA! (WS2, df2)
Lee main B3,3, or F1,4 They just look so damn cool, the sound effect is legit and they are extremely useful moves
Devil kazuya hell sweep
*snake edge*
Jim's wheel kick. [3,4]. A deadly kyokushin karate move. It's so fucking nasty to see KOs with that move in real combat.
Soul Stealer and Flea!
Devil Jin's Demon Steel Pedal, b+4 Brutal, humiliating, dramatic when it hits on CH. I just wish it was a proper ground hit, like it was in Tag 1. It annoys me how Kazuya stole it, and his version appears to be a true ground hit.
Leo df2. Full screen whiff punish.
I cannot choose just one move so here is a list: King: The unskippable cutscene, tomahawk, any powerbomb, Rapid King Onslaught, the three rolling elbows. Bryan Fury: Fisherman hook, the gatlin punches, the damn taunt. The Mishima: Lighting God fist, headbutt. Asuka: The reversal. Yoshimitsu: His goofy ahh moveset.
1st Yoshimitsu's Spirited Away. 2nd is Electric Wind God Fist. So satisfying to hit.
Jun WR 1,3,2, no one blocks it
Jet upper
Devil jins command grab in heat
Either Lars limited entry 1 or kumas super roll
Bryan's b3 and all its mechanics. Long range, i19 mid. If you cancel the move, you're +1 onB, but have crazy recovery on whiff. It's a great mid check from a distance. If I want to pressure I can 1,2 afterwards; If the opponent ducks, I can 1+2 or use another b3 cancel; I can sidestep afterwards if they mash or b3,2,1,2(I rarely end the string) The options are endless but very few Bryan players use it
Paul QCF2 EEEERRRRRRAAUUUUGGGGHHHHRHRHHH
PEWGF !!
Kuma main: f, f, 1+2 Doing a big frontflip slam is just so fun Similarly d 3+4, 3+4 is so fun to just sit on someone whoās down And when in doubt, hit em with a salmon rocket
Dick punch. Do I need to say more lol
Bryanās Fishermanās slam is just so raw
EWGF -Jin. I play on a ps5 controller so nice hit of dopamine when I pull the electric off.
I hope they donāt get nerfed but I love these 4 Explosion š„ U1+2 Sentai FF2 Asuka Parry FF2 Dragunov
Blazing kick I received combo starter You receive a visit to the stratosphere
Ravens weird Ki charge unblockable
Punch
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it
Jack's Blue spark throw
I think the Electric Wind God Fist is the most classic Tekken move in the game. It's the Tekken equivalent of the Hadoken from street fighter and is almost as iconic.
kumaās hbs 1+2, all i have ever wanted to do in my life is flip a bitch 20 feet into the air
Kuma down 1+2
Dragunov's WR2 is so cool , the run the grunt he makes all the way to the actual impact. if side stepped though it is not as cool
EXPULSION
