'''Claudio''', returning after being introduced in Tekken 7, is largely similar to his previous incarnation. He retains his unique Starburst (STB) mechanic, which works similarly to Asuka's Naniwa Gusto or Bryan's Snake Eyes, giving him big buffs to key moves if active.
'''Claudio''', the flamboyant Italian exorcist, is a simple, straightforward and no-nonsense character who relies on controlling space in order to lock his opponents down, allowing him to setup mixups or pressure. He possesses a limited but effective set of tools to implement this gameplan, allowing the player to quickly achieve character fluency with him and focus on developing their fundamentals and match-up knowledge. In Heat, his mixups become deadlier, with a low Heat Smash and a safe mid launcher.


Claudio's entire gameplan falls on the side of fundamentals as opposed to knowledge checks or mixups, playing keepout with great poking mids and highs, and then approaching with f,f,F+2, one of the approaching moves in the game. He also possesses a hopkick (uf+4) which has good range. His selection of great highs and mids, such as b+1, STB.f+1+2,1+2, and f,F+4, allow him to be played effectively at mid-range and in the open, but he makes his money at the wall, possessing a damaging mid/low poke mixup with SS.4, b+1 and df+3
Claudio can struggle to deal with patient opponents. His low mixup options are generally low damage and risky, making it painful for him to have them blocked. He must condition his opponents that much more with mids to ensure they aren't tempted to duck.


He pays for this exceedingly simple and powerful gameplan by being penalized in the low, throw and mixup department. In Heat his mixup potiential skyrockets with a low heat smash and safe mid launcher, makes him much more dangerous in lots of situations. SS.4 is his best low, but as a side-step move, it's quite slow, and the rest of his lows are either launch punishable or low reward. He doesn't have a complete throw game, and has a notable lack of strong strings or canned mixups, which makes it hard for him to open up especially patient or defensive opponents.

Claudio, the flamboyant Italian exorcist, is a simple, straightforward and no-nonsense character who relies on controlling space in order to lock his opponents down, allowing him to setup mixups or pressure. He possesses a limited but effective set of tools to implement this gameplan, allowing the player to quickly achieve character fluency with him and focus on developing their fundamentals and match-up knowledge. In Heat, his mixups become deadlier, with a low Heat Smash and a safe mid launcher.

Claudio can struggle to deal with patient opponents. His low mixup options are generally low damage and risky, making it painful for him to have them blocked. He must condition his opponents that much more with mids to ensure they aren't tempted to duck.
