1+2 Punch Parry

1+2 has a punch parry (also known as sabaki) effect in its initial frames. After the following moves on block, should the opponent attempt a fast punch button (such as a 1 jab), Feng will be able to parry the punch. The parry window starts from 5th frame ps5.

• 1, 3 oB
• u/f+1 oB
• d/f+4, 3 oB
• WS 1 oB
• 1, 2 oB
• kip up oB
• chinese getup (b+3+4 while FUFT) oB
• d+3+4 (generic d+4) oH

Should Feng parry the punch (you can tell by the unique animation of the opponent slumping forward), Feng can land the b1+2. the most advanced setups are ps5 (Parry State i5 Frame). if the oponent attack with a punch after Block the safe attack these are the most common setups.

• -5 On Block
• UF1, 1+2
• 3~4, 1+2
• 1,3, 1+2

if you you know your Oponent Move is +5 you can use the punch and counter it Punch attacks. Example Kasuya Reina Devil Jin Jin Electrics, F,d,*N, DF+2 Aliza F+1+2 (Destructive Form)

• On Block +5 Attack, 1+2

• -4 On Block
• DB1+2, 1+2
• DF4,3, 1+2

• Oponent Move +4
• On Block +4 Attack, 1+2

• -3 On Block
• WS1, 1+2
• STC2, 1+2
• F3, 1+2
• F+3,2, 1+2
• BT1, 1+2
• BT1+2, 1+2

• Oponent Move +3
• On Block +3 Attack, 1+2

• -2 On Block
• DB1,4, 1+2

• Oponent Move +2
• On Block +2 Attack, 1+2

• -1 On Block
• UF3, 1+2

• Oponent Move +1
• On Block +1 Attack, 1+2

• 0 On Block
• DF1, 1+2
• QCF1+2, 1+2

on hit setup are less commond but can be usefull in hard reads

• 0 On Hit
• D4, 1+2

This is especially potent in this game since it leads into Heat or into a combo if already in Heat. And in tekken 8 can setup good combos near explosive walls, balcons and breakeable walls. The ideal frames to attempt the punch parry is when Feng is -5 and better. So 1+2 can be attempted in the middle of certain strings (such as Law's b+1, 2, 2) in order to negate pressure.

u/f+1+2 Command Grab into d/f+3

After the command grab, Feng is right next to the opponent. You can use d/f+3 as okizeme to option select certain outcomes.

• Hits both side rolls
• Launches into T! from any wake-up kicks and spring attack
• Flips the opponent if they choose to stay on the ground.

Should the opponent Stand Up or Wake Up (Backward), they will block the d/f+3. However, this will put them -7 oB and be in the ideal range for a STC parry.

Common f+2,1,2 Frame Trap Setups

Since f2,1,2 (Boar's Tusk) has a start up of 15 frames, we can set up strong and simple mid/low mixup that results in a frame tight f2 counterhit. f2,1 is safe on block (-8) and if f2 has a successful counterhit we can very realistically confirm the rest of the string due to the visual and audio cue.

• Use b+3 as a chunky +6 on block mid as a common set up for f+2.
• FC.df+4,1 is a strong approaching low (can be performed out of snake dash) to gain +6 frames of advantage

Of course there are many other frame situations that Feng can create to instill fear of f+2. b+3 and FC df+4,1 are great starting points to start implementing this into your gameplan

Common Crush Frame Traps Setups High Crush, Low Crush,Armor moves and STC Parry

All the Crush and armored move have special properties in his move Behavior with crounching state(cs) frames, jumping state frames (js) and Powercrush frames (pc), that allow to setup Frame traps with the safe attacks moves similar to a sabaki but just using its special behavior and the exact window when that state begin.

Great Evasion of Sidestep, and Offensive Sidestep

Feng wei have one of the Best sidestep in the game, in the list of the male Characters him have one the best evasion for general move getting even better results with linears moves.

The recovery Frames for linears attacks allow to Feng Wei excels in his evasion properties, punishing on Whiff attacks that other characters simply can't, the best scenarios to setup whiff, is with secure attacks from -3 to 0 on block. Moves like UF+4.

• Alternate input with uf or u

Work Great to punish, any whiff from his oponents, also his good evasion allow him to cancel the window of sidestep of 7 Frames to Initiate moves that starts devastating combos.

The image above show the Behavior of a jab 1 i10 on whiff, in the recovery frames time, the oponent can't do any other move. and only can block after the 20th recovery frame.

UF+4 is one of the more secure attacks and fast with 15 frames to Initiate combos, sadly it Initial damage is not the more strong, but its properties of lowcrush allow to change in a instant, the dinamic of the figth, creating timing, and changing the momentum of the game.

The image above show the Behavior of a setup with a safe attack at -3, and then the use for the punish on whiff for a jab 1 i10 in the same window of shared time, for the sidestep, and the jab on whiff, it happens because in the recovery frames time, the oponent can't do any other move. and only can block after the 20th recovery frame.

One of the more effective moves to punish on Whiff attacks for Feng Wei is F+3,4 it can reach good distance, and start good damage combos.

The image above show the Behavior of a setup with a safe attack at 0 on block, and then the use for the punish on whiff for a jab 1 i10 in the same window of shared time, for the sidestep, and the jab on whiff, it happens because in the recovery frames time, in this example the move use to punish is a i21 move more slow, and with more damage result, the oponent can't do any other move. and only can block after the 20th recovery frame.

behavior of a Sidestep,the sidestep behave like a stance, for that reason it can be stop pressing f, or b, that allow the character the hability to starts moves, starting the state of punish on whiff, in the same frame that the evasion is complete, is important take consideration of the weak side of the oponent for increase the percentaje of success for the punish, that happen because some characters are more weak to SSL (u) and others to SSR (d).

Feng Wei have very good results setting whiff after an attack with a secure string or move, the best scenarios are -3 on block moves, until 0 on block, (not than usual at -4, and only with big characters -5) this are best examples that can be used like Frames Traps, taking advantage of the Whiff attack for the oponent.

All the move listed below can be used for, setup a sidestep and Whiff punish with UF+4.

Advanced Frame Traps Setups On Block, On Hit, On Counterhit

On Block Framestrap: Feng Wei have very strong tools to steal the turn and stay attacking an opressive system of attacks with this moves on + allow Feng stay in a good advantage to continue the attacks and in various situations starts combos.

The new dinamics in tekken 8, need to be take in consideration to understand the mechanics of the game, universaly the jab 1 (i10) was the common mesure to setup the frametraps and Attack but the new dinamics allow to learn new tools and Behavior that can easy change that results. Let start with the considerations of the moves that are more fast than a jab and have special properties to react before the i10 frame Window.

Carefull moves more faster that jab:

• i5 Parry Reversal

Optimal Whiff Punish for High Attacks

An opponent's High attacks can be evaded by crouching, allowing for a whiff punish. Whiffing moves with higher recovery allows them to be punished with slower moves that lead into higher damage combos.
