{{Archetype|Katarina}}


'''Katarina (Kat)''' is a bare-bones, poke-heavy, counterhit-baiting character. She is great for beginners due to her low execution requirements for key moves and staple combos, as well as her simplistic gameplan. Her main focus is to annoy the opponent into attacking when they shouldn't, leading to some huge damage payoffs for Kat if you should succeed. Her ideal playstyle relies a lot on good fundamentals and reading of player tendencies for success.
'''Katarina (Kat)''' is a dirt-simple character based around poking and counterhit-baiting. She is great for beginners due to her low execution requirements and simple gameplan. She scales with the strength of your fundamentals, and has a good amount of cheese to keep things exciting.
 
Katarina uses fundamental poking tools like d/f+1, jab strings, d+3 and d+4 to chip away at her opponents. She can use her 11f magic 4 and 15f d/f+4 to get counterhits, which lead to big damage. She has above-average movement, which works in her favour to create whiffs via backdashes or sidesteps, which she can punish using one of the best hopkicks in the game (u/f+4,4). A large portion of her movelist either pushes back her opponent to a desirable range or leaves her in a frame-ambiguous situation, allowing her to freely move or mash after an attack is blocked/connects.  


Katarina struggles to open opponents up due to a lack of strong lows. She has either very high-risk/high-reward lows which are seeable, or low damage pokes which don't give her momentum to continue pressure. She has a decent FC mixup to break turtles.
Katarina's Harrier stance transitions and mix-ups can easily play neutral for you, putting the onus on your opponent to defend correctly. However, against opponents who turtle up and step right constantly, Katarina can struggle.

* Simple to pick up and use - good generic Tekken tools and simple gameplan
* '''Simple Gameplan''': Katarina's strong {{MoveGet7|Katarina-df+1|input}}, {{MoveGet7|Katarina-d+4|input}}, {{MoveGet7|Katarina-4,4|input|recursive=true}} and {{MoveGet7|Katarina-uf+4,4|input|recursive=true}} allow her to easily start playing a fundamental Tekken poking game.
* Easy execution on key moves and combos
* '''Easy Execution''': Katarina's inputs and combos are as easy as they come, with no qcfs or tight links in sight.
* Great CH tools
* '''Counterhit Monster''': Katarina has a good collection of CH tools in {{MoveGet7|Katarina-df+4|input}}, {{MoveGet7|Katarina-b+4|input}} and {{MoveGet7|Katarina-d+2|input}} that cover a wide variety of timings and ranges.
* Good damage in the open, great damage with walls
* '''Damaging Combos''': When Katarina gets a launch, it hurts. Her BnB combo off of her standard i15 launcher hits for a respectable 72 damage.
* Above-average movement
* '''Good Whiff Punishment''': With easy inputs and long range on her whiff punishers like {{MoveGet7|Katarina-2,2|input|recursive=true}}, {{MoveGet7|Katarina-uf+4,4|input|recursive=true}} and {{MoveGet7|Katarina-f,F+2,4|input|recursive=true}}, whiffing against Katarina will get punished hard.

* Weak lows - are either low damage (d+3) or very risky (d/f+3+4, d/b+3, d/b+4)
* '''Poor Lows''': Katarina's lows don't encourage an opponent to duck; either dealing low damage ({{MoveGet7|Katarina-d+3|input}}) or being very risky if blocked ({{MoveGet7|Katarina-df+3+4|input}}, {{MoveGet7|Katarina-db+3|input}}, {{MoveGet7|Katarina-db+4|input}}).
* Poor wall game
* '''Poor Homing Moves''': A slow homing move in {{MoveGet7|Katarina-f,F+4|input|recursive=true}} and a low reward tracking tool for her weak side ({{MoveGet7|Katarina-b+1,2|input|recursive=true}}) means Katarina gets stepped to the right all day.
* Slow homing moves; difficulty dealing with SSR
