Key Moves
- Fast attack to start offense and check situations. Both 1,1 and 1,b+2 are great extensions for poking.
- 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.
- 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.
- Your main tool to fish for counterhits. Careful not to whiff.
- A risky launcher that is useful to hit grounded opponents.
- ~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.
― Low options to chip at the opponent's health.- Heihachi's hellsweep has many different follow-ups The single hit is a good button to pressure opponents and leads to a combo on counterhit.
- EWGFA high launching attack with many applications in the neutral It's important for punishment, but can be used for approach and as a keepout button. Don't neglect it.
Heat Engagers

Safe mid attack for approach, also useful as a punish in specific cases.
Good whiff punisher, especially when Heat is active.- Has sabaki properties, great defensive tool.
- FUJHeat Engager from stance. Mostly useful as a guaranteed follow-up after f+3~D on hit.
