When in AOP Xiayou is able to crouch under all highs, which is pretty obvious when you realise just how dangerously close to the ground Xiayou is, but if the Xiayou player were to tap down in the AOP stance they could also evade most mid-hitting moves. It’s pretty obvious to see Xiayou in the AOP stance, but dealing with it's a whole other story. The stance that's bound to cause most frustration is the Art of Phoenix, also known as AOP. Just like Leo, Xiayou is a stance-based character with a whole load of tricky tools for you to deal with. It’s tricky and takes practise, but mastery of side walking Devil Jin’s EWGFs will be a key factor in any match up with him. Unlike side stepping, you need to need hold the input to walk and doing so will make most of Devil Jin’s attacks whiff.

Fortunately there's a trick that will get you by and it's side walking to your character’s left. This results in an amazing number of scenarios that players might struggle to deal with. There are lows, mids, more mids, and the crouch dash leading to the move itself doesn’t need an attack input after it. Naturally, like any high hitting attack, your instinct is to duck but this is where the whole series of moves attached to the EWGF come into play. The EWGF is a high hitting launcher that’s not only unpunishable on block, but it’s actually advantageous to Devil Jin when you block it as he'll be able to attack before you.

When a WGF is performed perfectly, it becomes the electrified version of the move – giving the name Electric Wind God Fist. Time to get out there and show everyone who’s really the King of the Iron Fist.įor more on Tekken 7, be sure to check back here at Twinfinite.The most obvious danger from any character with a Wind God Fist (WGF) isn't just the punch itself, but the other attacks associated with it. Also, you don’t have to worry about jumping through hoops to unlock any of the characters for multiplayer, as all of the above fighters, with the exception of the DLC character Eliza, are available from the moment you boot up the game. Well one of them, Akuma, is only completely brand new to the Tekken series, as he’s been kicking ass and taking names in the Street Fighter series for over two decades. Out of this large roster, 10 are completely brand new. Do note that Jin and Devil Jin are separate because they’re actually two different options on the character select screen. Check out the full roster including any neat transformations. Helping to bolster the fun and replayability is the large roster on offer, with 36 characters available on day one (37 if you pre-ordered). Tekken 7 is on the horizon and it’s a seriously good fighting game (you can check out our review here).
