Key Moves

df+1

Mid attack to check situations. df+1,1 can be used to check sidestepping opponents while df+1:2 can be charged and is useful for pressure.

f+4

Useful button to pressure opponents at the wall. It allows you some follow-ups on counterhit and when it hits crouching opponents. You can shift to FUJ stance by pressing down.

b+4

Your main tool to fish for counterhits. Careful not to whiff.

fthenf+2

A risky launcher that is useful to hit grounded opponents.

f+3~D

Long range mid that can shift to FUJ stance. It doesn't give you advantage on block, so it's a good idea to cancel the stance by pressing DF~B if you don't wanna gamble with a stance option.

db+2 ― db+3

Low options to chip at the opponent's health.

Punish guide

How to beat them. The Frame Data tab in Punish mode shows per-move counter hints; the sections below are pulled straight from this character’s frame data so you can drill specific punishes.

Punish on block

Launch on block (-15 or worse, use your i15 launcher):

  • FC.df+4 -23 on block (low)
  • f,n,d,DF+3 -23 on block (low)
  • f,n,d,DF+4 -23 on block (low)
  • RAI.4 -23 on block (low)
  • db+2 -18 on block (low)
  • R.df+1+2 -18 on block

Standing string punish (-14 to -13, df+2 / i14 launcher):

  • f+1+2 -14 on block
  • FC.df+2 -14 on block
  • ws1 -14 on block
  • FUJ.4 -14 on block
  • WAR.f,n,d,DF+4 -14 on block
  • OTG.d+4 -14 on block

Jab punish (-12 to -10, fast string starter):

  • 4~3 -11a on block
  • f+2~1 -11 on block
  • b+1+2 -11 on block
  • ws3 -11 on block
  • f,n,d,df#1 -11 on block
  • f,n,df#1 -11 on block

Duck these highs

Every high in Tekken loses to a crouch, but these are the ones worth committing to:

  • 4* (i24, high, +6 on block, launcher)
  • f,n,d,df+2 (i11, high, -10 on block, launcher)
  • f,n,d,df#2 (i11, high, +5 on block, launcher)
  • f,f,F+1+2 (i15, high, +3 on block)

Step their linear strings

The data doesn’t flag specific step weaknesses for Heihachi. As a default, sidestep-left against right-hand attacks (2, df+2 style) and sidestep-right against left-hand attacks; their homing moves (if any) are listed under Key Moves.

General notes

  • Block low and wait. Lows in the data without a CH launch (above) give frames but no combo.
