Shaheen is a new original character in the Tekken series making his debut in Tekken 7. Shaheenâs gameplay mainly revolves around poking and enforcing his full crouch mix-up. He has good pokes, mix-ups, and a variety of counter hit tools to frustrate and oppress the opponent. The skill required to play Shaheen effectively is also very low; making him a viable tournament character and a great introductory character for new players. He has three key weaknesses: mediocre plus-on-block moves, no consistent long-range punishment, and a non-existent wall game. To conclude, Shaheen is a very straightforward character with a very straightforward game plan.
