=====================================================================
1. TACKLE ATTACKS & ESCAPES
=====================================================================
Ultimate Tackle (all characters except Craig):
----------------------------------------------------------
WR,N (approx. 3 steps)
- Does 5 damage, hits from all directions, crouching opponents as well;
- FRONT/SIDE TACKLE: can be escaped with 2 (like a normal throw)
- FRONT/SIDE TACKLE: can be over-turned with 1+2 (when your back is about
to hit the ground); this escape chains into your own tackle attacks
(and also Craig's Mount if you used him)
- BACK TACKLE: cannot be escaped
Some characters can do standing Ultimate Tackles as well:
Devil Jin (d_d/b_FC)+1+2
Kazuya (d_d/b_FC)+1+2
Raven (d/b_FC)+1+2
King FC+1+2
Paul (d/b_FC)+1+2
These have the same escapes as the running Ultimate Tackle and also do 5
damage.
********************************
1a. TACKLE ATTACKS
********************************
(1,2,1_2,1,2),(1,2_2,1) - Ultimate Punches
(all characters except Yoshimitsu and Craig)
--------------------------------------------------------
- Each punch does 5 damage
- Can be done from a front/side or back tackle:
- FRONT/SIDE TACKLE: the 1st and 4th punch can be escaped by pressing
the OPPOSITE button (example: the 1st punch is done with 2, you need
to press 1 to escape)
- FRONT/SIDE TACKLE: the 2nd, 3rd and 5th punch cannot be escaped
- BACK TACKLE: the 1st punch can be escaped by pressing the SAME button
(example: the 1st punch is done with 2, you need to press 2 to escape)
- BACK TACKLE: the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th punch cannot be escaped
SPECIAL: Paul can reverse the 1ST RIGHT PUNCH after a FRONT/SIDE tackle
with 1,1,2; the reversal does 30 damage, but Paul will also lose
5 points because of the punch.
1+2 - Cross Arm Lock (Nina, King, Paul, Jin & Devil Jin only)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Does 25 damage
- Can only be done from a front/side tackle, or after the third Ultimate
Punch (left or right)
- All characters can escape it with 1+2,2,2,2,2
- Craig, Nina, King, Paul, Jin & Devil Jin can reverse it with 1+2,2,2,2,2,2;
the reversal does 10 damage (NOTE: the reversal input must be done before
the actual animation)
3+4 - Leg Cross Hold (Nina, King only)
---------------------------------------------------
- Does 20 damage
- Can only be done from a front/side tackle, or after the third Ultimate
Punch (left or right)
- All characters can escape it with 1+2,1,1,1,1
- Craig, Nina & King can reverse it with 1+2,1,1,1,1,1; the reversal does 10
damage (NOTE: the reversal input must be done before the actual animation)
(1_2) - Sword Stab (Yoshimitsu)
--------------------------------------------
- Does 25 damage
- Can be done from a front/side or back tackle
- This is the only attack Yoshimitsu can do from an Ultimate Tackle
- Cannot be escaped
2,D+1,1,N,4,1,1+2 - Ultimate Punishment (Paul)
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Does 61 damage
- Can only be done from a front/side tackle
- Only the first punch can be escaped (with 1, or Paul can reverse it with
1,1,2)
Other character specific tackle attacks (King's Arm Twist after Cross Arm
Lock, etc.) cannot be escaped, this is already mentioned in the movelists.
********************************
1b. CRAIG'S MOUNT POSITION
********************************
Craig's tackle system is completely unique. His running tackles (including
the unblockable one) are replaced with a special Spear Tackle. He can also
execute this move (the Spear Tackle) from his Vale Tudo Style with 1+2. But
the Spear Tackle is not the only way he can get to Mount Position. He has
numerous transitions from his basic stance and throws as well. Furthermore,
he also goes to Mount Position if he over-turns a standing or running
Ultimate Tackle.
VTS,1+2 (Spear Tackle to Mount)
---------------------------------------------
- Does 12 damage, hits from all directions, crouching opponents as well
- Can be escaped with 1+2 (only from close range)
- Cannot be escaped if you see a little arched lunge before Craig hits you
WR,N (approx. 3 steps) (Spear Tackle to Mount)
-> replaces running Ultimate Tackle
--------------------------------------------------------------
- Does 12 damage, hits from all directions, crouching opponents as well
- Can be escaped with 1+2
WR,N (more than 3 steps) (Spear Tackle to Mount)
-> replaces running Unblockable Tackle
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Does 12 damage, hits from all directions, crouching opponents as well
- Cannot be escaped
Other Mount transitions:
-----------------------------------
b+1+2 (Craig Mounts after successful high attack reversal)
b+3+4 (Craig Mounts after successful mid attack reversal)
qcf+1,1+2 (Craig Mounts after the throw)
qcf+2,1+2 (Craig Mounts after the throw)
d/b+(1+3_2+4) opponent grounded,
face up and sideways (Craig Mounts after the ground throw)
Mount Position Attack escapes:
------------------------------------------
Craig does: 1 (Melon Masher, 35 dmg) -> escape: 2
Craig does: 2 (Melon Masher, 35 dmg) -> escape: 1
Craig does: 1~2 (Melon Masher, 35 dmg) -> escape: 1
Craig does: 2~1 (Melon Masher, 35 dmg) -> escape: 2
Craig does: 1+2 (Mongol Chop, 40 dmg) -> escape: don't press anything! *
Craig does: 3+4 (Skull Crush, 40 dmg) -> escape: don't press anything! *
Craig does: 1+3 (Neck Lock, 40 dmg) -> escape: 2
Craig does: 2+4 (Knee Bar, 40 dmg) -> escape: 1
* Craig only completes this move if you press any button and try to escape.
=====================================================================
2. CRUSH SYSTEM BASICS
=====================================================================
Well, the crush system is simple in general. However making a list of all
crushes for all characters would be almost impossible, since everyone has
at least 10 crushes, not talking about the general crush moves everyone
can do...
Most lows where the character is considered crouching crush highs and most
jumping moves crush lows. There are some weird crushes too (Lee's f+2 - you
wouldn't tell but it crushes highs).
If the opponent does a low move (no matter how fast he is) and you start
a low crush (even if he acted first - with frame advantage) you WILL
automatically avoid the low and also hit him in the process (unless his
low move is a crush for the move you do, then both of you whiff).
Furthermore, there are special moves that for example crush highs at the
start up and lows AFTER the start up (Lee's d,d/b+4 in Tekken 5.0). Only
a few though.
=====================================================================
3. SUPERCHARGER (1+2+3+4)
=====================================================================
- Your character does a power up and his/her fists glow bright red
- During this period, you cannot block and all hit you receive will be
counter hits
- The attacks you execute will also register as counter hits, and you will
cause guard damage if the opponent blocks
- This effect lasts for only a few seconds after the power up
- Some characters have special power ups too, or can do special attacks
from a Supercharger
********************************
3a. Special Supercharger Attacks
********************************
Asuka:
---------------
1+2+3+4~D/F+3+4,3+4,1+2 (Ultimate Tackle & a Punch) (5,5 dmg)
= (2,1,2,1_2,1,1,2) (Special Ultimate Punches) (5,5,5,10_5,5,12,10 dmg)
- This only works if the tackle hits from the front; a side or back hit will
result in a normal Ultimate Tackle with normal (escapable) follow ups
- Also hits crouching opponent
- The tackle cannot be escaped like a normal one, but you can press 1+2 on
a certain frame to over-turn it and continue with your own Ultimate Tackle
(or Craig's Spear Tackle) attacks
- The punches are not escapable
Ganryu: - <Thanks to E C>
----------------
1+2+3+4~2~3 (Supercharger to Sumo Hug) (0 dmg)
- Can only be done against Julia Chang
- It only works if the move hits from the front; a side or back hit will
result in a normal Ultimate Tackle with normal (escapable) follow ups
- Also hits crouching opponent
- Ganryu regains 3 life points during the hug
- To escape the hug, Julia can press 1 and slap Ganryu for 40 damage (and
crumple stun); the slap cannot be avoided
Heihachi:
-------------------
1+2+3+4~d~u,(u_u/f)+3,4 (Supercharger to Dragon Axle) (30,22 dmg)
- All hits are mid, cause guard break if blocked (note the second kick
cannot be neutral blocked)
- Damages are listed at 100%, but Heihachi is charged, so the first hit
will be CH, and the second a juggle hit, real damage is usually 36,15
Marshall Law:
-----------------------
1+2+3+4,1,3 (Supercharger to Blackout) (10,7 dmg)
- Hits high, then low; real damage will be higher because Law is charged
Yoshimitsu:
---------------------
1+2+3+4~b,f,u,d+3+4 (Supercharger to Poison Knee Taunt) (0,1 dmg)
- It only works against Bryan Fury
- First hit is mid, second is unblockable, but can be ducked
- The second hit causes crumple fall (CF) on hit and does incredible
(1) damage
1+2+3+4~b,f,u,d+1+4 (Supercharger to Poison Sword Spin) (1 dmg)
- Unblockable, cannot be ducked and causes crumple fall, along with some
damage (again 1)
********************************
3b. Special Power Ups
********************************
Heihachi:
--------------
b+(1+3_2+4) (Heaven's Wrath)
- This move has identical effects to the Supercharger
- Works as an attack reversal if the opponent tries to interrupt
Jin Kazama:
----------------------
Mental Alertness (aka Lingering Soul) transitions
- After certain moves, Jin can press d+1+2 or 1+2 to get charged (check
his movelist for the list of transitions, he has many)
b+1+2 (Force Block)
- Jin also gets charged after his b+1+2, Force Block
- This move also repels all incoming attacks and can chain to an Attack
Reversal or the Omen Stance
King:
--------------
1+2+3+4,1+2+3+4 (Double Supercharger Dance)
- During the first charge, King will start 'dancing', but this can be
cancelled to any move.
- Doing another charge during the dance will make the cancel impossible,
but you'll be fully charged after the dance is over.
Paul Phoenix:
------------------------
FC,D (Paul's Crouching Taunt)
- If you hold down the D button for about 2 seconds, Paul will do a taunt
and become charged after the animation
- He can execute his Incomplete Somersault from the taunt as well
(FC,D,u+2+3+4)
Raven:
---------------
d+1+2 (Summon Force)
- This move has identical effects to the Supercharger
- Raven can also execute one of his unblockables after the charge
(d,d/b,b,u/b,u,u/f,f+1+2)
- After numerous d+1+2 charges (about 20-25), Raven can do:
~b,f,u,d+3+4 (Summon Mirage)
- This move creates an illusion, Raven's copy/copies (?) for a very short
time.
=====================================================================
4. ATTACK REVERSAL: (b+1+3 or b+2+4)
=====================================================================
- Only a few characters can do attack reversals: Anna, Asuka, Devil Jin,
Nina, Paul, Wang
- Attack reversals cannot catch full body attacks, shoulder rushes, knees,
elbows, low attacks, throws* (note that they can catch throw shifts)
- Damage: (1/2 damage of the reversed move + 25)
- To escape an attack reversal, the opponent must input the correct chicken
command: f+1+3 or f+2+4
- The chicken is f+1+3 is the reversed attack was a left kick or left punch
- The chicken is f+2+4 is the reversed attack was a right kick or right punch
- A successful chicken does 13 damage
- Some special attacks require a different chicken command (u/f+1+3 or
u/f+2+4)
* The only throw attack reversals can catch is the Ultimate Tackle (the
reversal only does 25 damage in that case)
********************************
4a. Special Reversals

6. KING'S THROW ESCAPES
=====================================================================
Here are King's throw escapes. I realize throw escapes are not something
that belongs to the game system discussion, but King is an exception. His
multi escapes are pretty complex IMO...
First, I write King's input. The escape is in the brackets [].
= is taken from the site legend.
Special notations are marked with /!/
(Thanks to Shimma for a lot of info)

b+2+4 (left kick reversal) [-]
Notations:
----------------------
!1 SS+2+4 from the front is 1+2 escape,
from the right it's 2 and from the left it's 1.
From the back it's not escapable.
!2 This will be the multi starter instead of
Full Nelson if you were grabbed from left or right
with the SS+2+4 input.
!3 Escape is 1 if the multi was started with
f,D/F+1+3 and 2 if it was started with f,D/F+2+4.
!4 Escape is 1 if the multi was inputted with
1+3 and 2 if it was inputted with 2+4.
!5 Escape is 1 if the multi was inputted with
1+2+3 and 2 if it was inputted with 1+2+4.
!6 You can escape the stun after CH f,f,N+2
with tapping f, but this won't prevent the throws.
=====================================================================
7. MORE GENERAL TERMS
=====================================================================
iWS (While Rising moves without crouching or jumping)
------------------
Normally, WS moves can be executed using the following methods:
1. you crouch down with (D_D/F_D/B), then release the button and when you
are about to get back into standing position, you input (1_2_3_4_1+2_3+4)
for the WS move.
2. you use (u/f_u_u/b) to jump and input (1_2_3_4_1+2_3+4) for WS moves
AFTER you have landed.
However, there's a quicker way to do WS moves. You need to input
d,(d/f_d/b),N+(any WS input). To make this easier, you can also do
(qcf_qcb)+(any WS input), but only with certain characters, since many of
them have regular qcf+(1_2_3_4_1+2_3+4) moves.
CC (Crouch Cancel)
------------------
After some moves, your character recovers in crouching (FC) position. Good
example is Lee's HMS+4. Since the sweep floats the opponent, Lee will want
to use some juggles, but he's in FC, so he cannot really do any damaging
moves to follow up. Unless he quickly cancels the crouch and does normal
moves... To do that, he needs to press u right after the sweep animation
is over. After that, he can do:
HMS+4; cc; d/f+1; 1,2~f,N; 1,2~f,N; (w!) 4,3,4 for insane damage.
Few more things to know about CC:
- You can also use f,f to cancel crouch (maybe even b,b, but I'm unsure)
- On paper, a cc takes 1 frame. but in reality, probably no one is able
to do cc that fast.

~ vii. About Tekkenomics ~
~ ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The main purpose of "Tekkenomics" is to provide you with Tekken FAQs/Guides
and to keep you updated on Tekken news and information.
"Tekkenomics" was originally the name of the website created by me
(Wild Man X), with help from Paulinstein and Drake the Demon, which first
came online on November 6, 2004. However, due to someone engaging in
piracy on our hosting server the website went down in April 2007. With
the release of Tekken 6 approaching for consoles, I decided to bring back
Tekkenomics, but in the form of a blog back in June 2009.
"Tekkenomics" contains various Tekken related material, some of which is
difficult to find on any other Tekken based website. The blog will
contain exclusive articles, original FAQ files, move lists, combos/juggles,
combo videos, in-game matches, Tekken commercials, PC desktop wallpaper,
PSP wallpaper, CG art, fan-based material, and other things.
If you're having problems visiting the "Tekkenomics Blog" at
http://www.tekkenomics.com, then you can also visit it at the following
link: http://tekkenomics.wordpress.com
If you were wondering how we came up with the name "Tekkenomics", back in
my high school days in the year 2000, Paulinstein, me, and some other high
school friends would get together to play Tekken 3 on the PlayStation 1.
At the time, we were also enrolled in Economics. Whenever we would get
together to play, we would say that we were going to study some
"Tekkenomics". So, basically: "Tekken" + "Economics" = "Tekkenomics".
There are a few references on the web to the name "Tekkenomics" that
aren't related to us or our blog. There are some members on the Tekken
Zaibatsu forums that go by the names "Tekkenomics", "Tekkenomics_101",
and "TekkenNomics Jr." that aren't related to us. On Tekken Zaibatsu,
we go by the names "Wild Man X", "Paulinstein", and "Drake the Demon".
The things on the web that ARE related to us are at: GameFAQs, Neoseeker,
IGN, 1UP.com, Gamerhelp, Gamespot, MySpace, AIM, MSN Messenger, Hotmail,
GMail, YouTube, PicasaWeb, Blogger, WordPress, ImageShack, and Twitter.
