Converted from the arcade to the PlayStation, Tekken 3 ran on the technology called the System 12 board. You're gonna need to learn how to defend against him which means taking him to the lab and learning how to counter his common moves, like ducking d3,4 and d4, 4, since they are low-high, or launch punishing b3.Tekken 3 is the third installment of Namco's premier 3D fighting game franchise. Other than that, inevitably you're gonna find yourself in a situation where he's pressuring you up close. The best way to deal with him in my experience (yaksa) is to turtle up, because many of his approach tools, like WR 3 and ff+4 are very steppable and he can't pressure you unless you're really close. He can only throw this out when in RFF, which is right foot forward stance, so pay attention to that and be really careful when you see him like this since he can't really move around. Backlash is a really annoying and crutchy move that carries hwoarang players, because it is a plus-on-block tracking armored launcher that is ridiculously hard to duck and punish properly despite being high thanks to its fast recovery. +14 on hit, d34 +12 on block and starts with a low, what? -7 RA 'steppable', yeah good luck with that, 34 +10, built-in step punch that doesnt require him to sidestep Hwoarang's biggest weakness is that his moves are locked behind stances and in some of these stances, ie flamingo, he basically can't block, has no defense, and has to throw out moves making him succeptible to down jabs and rage arts. Originally posted by Iosefka's Student:There is ZERO reason why this character has to have 30+ mixups that go into everything and look the same, armored launchers with a million properties +7 on block. I feel Negan is worse match up against Asuka (but probably this is another topic).

If I face Shaheen or Negan, I always expect a loss unless the player is new or not familiar with character match up. But compare to Shaheen I feel less threatened when facing him. Though in fairness, he is open to tooth fairy most of the time, but I need distance. And even counter is hard to pull off sometimes due to speed and mid low mix ups. Well if I face him I always expect pressure, you know, the time when he attacks me rapidly that I can barely see an opening, especially when near the wall. This works for all pressure chars, Steve, Anna, nina, Hwo, Kazumi etc. Keep distance and when you are going in go with initiative - in defence try to backdash between attacks too (but keep up defence) or SS if you know when - but backdash is the minimum. Not that this kind of turtling works on any char but chars with good mixups show deficiency of this defence fastest. Certainly don't turtle by standing right in front of him and just holding back :) Originally posted by Diamond Girls (not banned):I find it hard to turtle against him.
