The best way to hit-confirm the 3-string after two hits is to use the theme from Terminator 2: Judgement Day as a reference. You have enough time between the 2nd and 3rd beats to confirm a hit. You can do this by looking at the health bar (to check for decrease) or by looking for the hit sparks.

== CH Low Wall-only Follow-ups ==


If you input d/f+4 as d/f and press 4 exactly one frame later, when ducking certain highs, you will get an instant FC d/f+4.
Katarina can get better follow-ups from her CH lows when she lands them at the wall. These are higher damage follow-ups and can allow her to balcony break or floor break as well. These are body-type specific, and can be dependent on the axis.

After ending combos with HAR 4, you can enter HAR manually immediately after to get an oki mixup between HAR d/f+3, delayed HAR 4 and HAR cancel into nothing. Recommended to try HAR d/f+3 as the first option until opponent starts defending against it. Then mix in delayed HAR 4 or HAR cancel depending on how opponent defends.

== Dealing with blocked RAs ==
 
Katarina's best option for punishing blocked generic mid RAs is b+4, 1+2 > u/b+4. This is because it does 51 dmg, which is comfortably above the rage damage break point of 41. It has simple inputs, and is unlikely to be messed up in clutch situations, especially if one has the 1+2 and 3+4 buttons bound. It also is unlikely to drop due to side-wall situations unlike doing a launcher into partial combo, and is generally consistent against all body types.
 
This is not applicable to Jack-7's RA since b+4 might not reach if Jack-7 spaces out his RA.

Katarina (Tekken 7)

Tech broadly covers anything that doesn't fit elsewhere, such as:

  • Notable tricks or niche uses for a string/move
  • Execution tips for a particular technique

If a section gets too long, it might be sensible to move it to its own page.

3-string Hit-confirm

Katarina's Crane Kick Combo (3,3,3,3,3) can be hit-confirmed after the first 2 hits (3,3). Doing so consistently gives you access to a safe, i14 mid-poke with good range and good damage, making it a very useful tool.

Confirming after 3,3,3

This confirm is easier to do. Even if not confirmed, it is only -10 and can additionally be cancelled into HAR to evade a potential i10 punish.

Confirming after 3,3

Opening beats from the Terminator 2: Judgement Day theme by Brad Fiedel. The interval between the 2nd and 3rd beats is how much time you have to confirm the hit.

The best way to hit-confirm the 3-string after two hits is to use the theme from Terminator 2: Judgement Day as a reference. You have enough time between the 2nd and 3rd beats to confirm a hit. You can do this by looking at the health bar (to check for decrease) or by looking for the hit sparks.

CH Low Wall-only Follow-ups

Katarina can get better follow-ups from her CH lows when she lands them at the wall. These are higher damage follow-ups and can allow her to balcony break or floor break as well. These are body-type specific, and can be dependent on the axis.
