This page is for Tekken 8. For Tekken 7, see Shaheen (Tekken 7).
Shaheen is a simple, "back-to-basics" character. His game-plan revolves almost entirely around his extremely potent full crouch (FC) mix-up and controlling space through an abundance of great pokes. He has a strong punishment kit, and both a generic df+2 and a hopkick to whiff punish with. He has several strong counterhit tools to dissuade mashing and decent plus frame mids to pressure a defensive opponent.
Shaheen takes great advantage of Tekken 8's grey health and Heat system. He has several good moves that deal chip, while also being blessed with moves that entirely remove grey health. While in Heat, Shaheen's FC mix and grey life manipulation become even more potent, as he is able to repeatedly chip the opponent down while threatening with slide, launching mids, or his new guard break move Al-Ghul Master (you can read more about it on his Tech page.) While outside of Heat, however, his wall game is considerably weakened, and he has some of the lowest wall-combo damage in the game.
Being so straightforward is a both a blessing and a curse, as taking advantage of his straightforward kit demands strong fundamentals and decision making.

- Powerful full crouch mixup: Slide (FC.df,d,df+3) is arguably the best power low in the game, allowing for a long range mixup that has much more reward than risk.
- Consistency is Key: Shaheen's gameplan is very simple, his moves are intuitive, and he has great block and whiff punishment tools.
- Heat Wall Pressure: Al-Ghul Master into f+2,3 along with f,f,F+2 and df+3 can turn Shaheen into a menace at the wall while he's in Heat.
- Strong Panic Tools: Has the second best hopkick in the game, as well as a powerful safe powercrush that heat engages on hit.
- Grey Health Deletion: Has the rare ability to erase opponent's grey health with easy setups.
- Combo Artist: Has very lenient and varied combo routes that allow for good damage, wall carry, or decent okizeme. Also has the ability to easily switch sides during combos, giving him great control over stage positioning.
- Agile: Great movement and approach tools.
- Solid Counter-hit Tools: Has reliable CH tools in a game where CH tools tend to be weak and risky.
Weaknesses
- Average standing lows: Since he lacks threatening lows from standing, he struggles against keepout due to his reliance on his full crouch mixup to get significant damage.
