"'''Dragunov''' is an aggressive rushdown character who wants to get in close and smother opponents with a relentless assault of pokes and heavy-hitting power mids. If you dare to challenge him, you open yourself up to his punishment, and if you run away, you'll quickly find your back to the wall. Dragunov forces you to make decisions, and makes you pay dearly for choosing incorrectly."
'''Dragunov''' is an oppressive pressure and rushdown character who excels at freezing his opponents cold with powerful, plus-on-block mids, and then slicing them open with hard-hitting mixups, and a complete throw game. He combines strong poking and above-average movement and whiff punishment, making his "small Tekken" also difficult to deal with. In Heat, Dragunov's pressure becomes even more chilling due to the constant chip damage, which when coupled with his pokes, will punish you even for blocking.


<small>- That Blasted Salami. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13hg-izH3wA|"Sergei Dragunov Overview."] ''YouTube'', 29 March 2020.
Dragunov is fairly simple and straightforward to use, and success with him is directly proportional to your skill. He is excellent for players looking to embody Tekken 8's aggressive philosophy and force their opponents to constantly block their big, strong buttons.

Going into Tekken 8, Dragunov benefits heavily from easier Instant While Running inputs, allowing him to reliably apply WR2 pressure at any range. In addition to this, his combo damage is now exceptionally high, boasting a much improved wall combo alongside his strong wall carry. In the neutral, new lows such as db+3+4 allow him to open his opponent up far easier.
Dragunov's pressure moves can be fairly linear, and require skill to land against opponents with good movement. Their slower startup also leaves Dragunov open to interruption, and he doesn't have the best tools to counterhit opponents trying to mash against him.
