This page is for Tekken 8. For Tekken 7, see Hwoarang (Tekken 7).

Hwoarang is a heavy-hitting rush down character, using strong plus frames and multitude of stances to force opponents into a torrent of snap defensive decisions - many of them granting Hwoarang huge damage potential.

While infamous at lower levels of play due to being an absolute blender of stance attacks, Hwoarang requires high levels of execution and a more measured approach to pressure at high level due to his best sources of plus frames often requiring highs or lows.

Strengths

• Overwhelming offensive pressure with his multiple stances, rapid attacks, and plus on block transitions
• Can armor through pressure with an assortment of armor moves and strings
• Multiple tricky and effective strings to stack chip damage

Weaknesses

• Learning the ins and outs of his four stances can be challenging
• Lacks decent high crush tools
• Susceptible to being ducked with many key tools being highs
• Requires above average execution on tools like the Just Frame Skyrocket (JFSR) and his wavedash
