For example, King’s Jaguar Hook or Devil Jin’s laser attack while airborne. However, sidestepping won’t help you evade homing attacks that track the movements of players. For example, Akuma’s fireball can be easily avoided by sidestepping (pressing the up or down button twice on D-pad quickly). Dodging the opponent’s move gives you a huge advantage. There are options of back dash, wave dash, sidestepping in the game. Movement in Tekken is what makes it stand out of the lot. You can also launch an attack after parrying a low move of your opponent by pressing df 2 (down forward 2/triangle/Y) in the direction of your opponent. Unlike the previous versions of the game where you had to identify and break a kind of throw with a particular demand, in Tekken 7 you can simply do it by pressing 1 or 2 (right punch and left punch) buttons. Your opponent can easily launch you in the air and inflict serious damage if you are in a crouching position more often.Īlso, breaking throw is something you need to learn. However, too much crouching will not help you as most of the attacks in Tekken are mid-attacks. You can block a high and mid-attack while standing and press the down button on D-pad to crouch and block low attacks. There are three types of attacks in the game - high, lows, and mids. Blocking is essentialīefore you attack your opponent, blocking is what you learn first. We also call them 1,2,3,4 respectively while explaining different moves, combos. Before we get into the basics of the game let’s understand the controls of the game on both Xbox and PlayStation controllers - square/X is left punch, triangle/Y is right punch, X/A is left kick, and circle/B is right kick.
