Marduk movelist

n

NameThe name of the move in the English localization.Most often directly from the in-game movelist, but can also be a community name.

AltOther inputs that also perform this move, written in notation.

InputThe input to perform the move, written in notation. This is often used as the move's name.For strings, the input of the previous moves in the string is shown but washed out.

Hit levelThe hit level of the move.Capital letters mean it hits grounded.For strings,​ the hit level of the previous moves in the string is shown but washed out.

DamageHow much damage the move does without any modifiers.For strings,​ the damage of the previous moves in the string is shown but washed out.

RangeThe maximum range recorded of the move hitting Lars on-axis. (For Tekken 7, it's vs Heihachi.) Assume an error of about ±0.03.For strings, this is the range of the whole string.This measurement shouldn't on its own be used to compare characters: larger characters get more "range" by this measure, but their opponents do too.

Left TrackingThe tracking score to the attacker's left.Roughly speaking, when up close, if the defender sidesteps or sidewalks right for no more than this many frames, the move still connects.

Right TrackingThe tracking score to the attacker's right.Roughly speaking, when up close, if the defender sidesteps or sidewalks left for no more than this many frames, the move still connects.

BlockThe frame advantage on block.Blank if the move can't be blocked (e.g., an unblockable or an aerial attack).For breakable throws, this is the frame advantage when the throw is broken.

HitThe frame advantage on hit.Blank if the move is not an attack, e.g. is a stance transition only.For throws, this is the frame advantage after the throw.

CHThe frame advantage on counter hit.Blank if this is the same as on normal hit, i.e. there is no special behavior on counter hit.

StartupThe active frames of the attack. The "i" stands for "impact", i.e. impact frame.If there is more than one hit, a comma indicates that frame 1 is now the frame after the last active frame of the previous hit.For strings, therefore, this usually has a leading comma.

StatesThe frames where the attacker is in any special states, e.g. jump, parry, or powercrush.

RecoveryThe total number of frames, the recovery frames, and what stance the move recovers in, if any.The "t" stands for total and "r" for recovery. If no stance is listed, the move recovers in the default, standing position.For strings, the total frame count is from the start of the string with no delays.

NotesAnything that doesn't fit elsewhere.Many common move properties, such as whether a string can be delayed, go here.See Movelist#Notes for standard wording of common properties.

i10 punish. Ok damage and great frame advantage. Gives Marduk a solid mix up after any i10 punish with db+2 and a low.

i10 punish option. Slightly more damage than 1, d+2 but less frames so Marduk can't enforce as strong of a mix up.

Second hit is not natural on counter hit. Second hit is identical to a regular d+1+2 in just about every way. Second hit does not have any real high crush but it is very evasive.

i15

Usually used to fish for counter hits. While this doesn't do any damage, this low commitment option let's Marduk safely halt opponent pressure and can essentially turn his df1 into a safe counter hit launcher in the open or be used to shut down an opponent trying to fight away from the wall.

#Marduk- 3+4

Ready Position (Vale Tudo Stance)

3+4

High

Marduk's infamous ready stance. Has strong throw mix-ups, can be used to bait something out from the opponent then punish with the several relatively fast options out of it, and can also go for his infamous tackle. While in it he can press u or d to side step and stay in the stance. Pressing df or db will move him forward and back respectively, however he is not able to get out of the back version without pressing a button or side-stepping for about half a second.

#Marduk- RP+1+2

Double Leg Take Down

RP+1+2

h,​ m

0,​ 12

Knockdown

i24, i30~31

One of the best throws in the game. Broken with 1+2. Has a tighter break window than most other throws, making it harder to deal with even with how slow it is. If the second part of the move hits (i30~31) then the break window is 1 frame. Gives Marduk a three-way mix-up between a 1, 2, and 1+2 break with 1+3, 2+4, and 1+2/3+4 respectively. Doing nothing will have Marduk stand up after a second without doing a move. Can fake out with 1~2 and 2~1 but this does nothing but psychological damage.

#Marduk- RP+1+3

Strangle Slam

RP+1+2

h

35

Knockdown

12~14

Marduk's 1 break throw from Ready Position. Can be used to catch people off guard or trying to break 1+2 on his tackle.

#Marduk- RP+2+4

Body Slam

RP+2+4

Knockdown

i12~14

Marduk's 2 break throw from Ready Position. Same uses as RP+1+2 but keeps him closer to the opponent.

Power Bump

RP+f+1, 2

m,​ m

16,​ 20

-4, -13

+3, Knockdown

i13~15, i22~23

A natural hit string out of Ready Position. The first hit can be used as a decently fast way to get out of the stance while checking your opponent or you can use it to whiff punish from Ready Position with its deceptively long (but not super long) range.

#Marduk- RP+f+1, 4

Power Hurricane

RP+f+1, 4

m,​ h

16,​ 26

-4, -9

+3, knockdown

i13~15, 23~24

A high follow up out of his RP+f+1. Does more damage and will catch opponents into a screw state on air hit, but is still a high so be wary of people crouching this.

#Marduk- RP+f+2

Power Straight

RP+f+2

Knockdown + Wall Bounce

i17

Power Crush

Marduk's power crush move to let him unga bunga out of Ready Position. Not the fastest move in the world but its range lets him whiff punish moves out of stance. Only launch punishable by a handful of the cast but is still fairly minus and the low pushback makes it easy to punish when used up close.

#Marduk- RP+d+1+2

Python Explosion

RP+d+1+2

l,​ m

-39

Knockdown

i17

Can essentially be seen as Marduk's Hell Sweep. Good damage and a powerful knockdown that gives him a free throw mix up that only loses to recovery kick (d+3/4) or a spring kick (3+4) if not tech rolled. Launch punishable by the entire cast, but having a solid knockdown low like this only adds to his comeback potential.

#Marduk- f+2, 1

Double Hook Combo

f+2, 1

h,​ h

20,​ 25

-7, -7

+7, launch

Launch, Launch

i16~18, i16~18

One of Bryan's fastest counter hit launchers but is not normally used as such. Normally used as a high damage combo filler after certain launchers. Has a large delay window for the second hit so you can use the second hit to catch people trying to take their turn back.

#Marduk- f+2, d+1, 2

Hook Smash Combo

+7, +2fc, launch

launch

i16~18, i21~22, i23

While the second hit will not connect on normal hit after the first, if the second hit lands then the third is guaranteed. It can be used for Marduk to gorilla his way to a launch, but he usually has safer options.

#Marduk- f+3, 2

Mammoth Charge

f+3, 2

m,​ m

13,​ 20

-8, -11fc

+5, launch

i23~24, i34~35

A natural hit string that isn't too minus and the second hit forces crouch which can severely limit some character's punish options. Still very slow and linear, however.

#Marduk- f+4

Stampede

f+4

m

-8fc

+2fc

Knockdown

i19~22

A safe mid that forces crouch on hit and block and gives him a free ground hit on counter hit.. Though it's -8, the opponent may not try and take their turn back due to many crouching and while standing moves ranging from minus to unsafe. Be careful using this against characters such as Anna, Julia, and Kunimitsu as you would be making a character with strong crouch mixes plus right in your face.

#Marduk- f+1+2

Double Thruster

f+1+2

h

-10

Knockdown

i15

Power Crush

Marduk's standing power crush. A decently fast get-off-me tool. Is unsafe despite being a high but can be very hard or impossible to punish depending if it's spaced out. Does not wall splat, but still gives him free hits at the wall.

#Marduk- f+3+4

Shoulder Bash

f+3+4

h

30

Unblockable

Knockdown, Wall Splat

32~35

Somewhat fast as far as unlockables go, but can still be reacted to. Though it can still catch people off guard. Don't use it too often so the opponent starts to predict it. Gives a wall splat on hit. Can be canceled to Ready Position with 3+4 during start up.

#Marduk- f+1+4

Blitz

f+1+4

m

25

-18~-4

+9~23

i21~35

Low crush, grounded after active frames

Launches Marduk forward, going over lows, and tackling his opponent. On block the opponent generally gets a free hit on him but if it lands the opponent needs to guess immediately as he gets a mix up with his unique wake up options from head-towards face-down, 2 and d+2.

#Marduk- df+1

Air Lift Uppercut

df+1

m

15

-13

Launch

i15~16

One of the best i15 launchers in the game due to its range. Can make whiff punishing moves trivial and there is not a lot of moves that could space out its range to be safe from it.

#Marduk- df+2, 1

Double Impact

df+2, 1

m,​ m

16,​ 21

-7, -13

+6, knockdown + wall splat

+6, knockdown + wall splat

i15, i17~19

Unsafe counter hit string you can throw out to try and catch your opponent mashing, though db2 is safer with far less commitment. Normally used in combos to get corkscrew state.

#Marduk- df+4, 2

Compressor Swing

df+4, 2

m,​ h

13,​ 15

-4, -5

+2, spin state + wall splat

i13, i25~26

Amazing i13 punish. Good damage and a ton of plus frames and gives a wall splat when close to the wall. Also used to get corkscrew state in combos.

#Marduk- df+1+2

Canonball

df+1+2

m

17~18

Unsafe mid that gives plus frames and forces crouch. Not terrible but Marduk has better options than this.

#Marduk- d+1

Dunk Elbow

d+1

m

+0fc

+5

Knockdown

i18~19

Great counter hit knockdown mid that can also be used to lock down your opponent during pressure, forcing them to crouch to limit their retalitory options. Gives free grounded hit on counter hit.

#Marduk- d+2, 4

Aligator Combo

d+2, 4

m,​ m

15,​ 21

-7fc, -9

+7fc, +5

i16, i17

A good damage safe mid, mid string. d+1 is better to pressure with, but d+2, 4 has good damage and is safe, so it's a good round ender. Its speed makes it fairly safe to throw out but you get nothing on counter hit.

#Marduk- d+3

Low Kick

d+3

l

18

-12

-1

i16

An amazing low. Good range, good damage, and although it's -1, you can still backdash and sidestep safely or even try and pressure your opponent afterwards.

#Marduk- d+4

Knee Slicer

d+4

l

16

-16

-5

i14~15

high

A low knee. Cannot be low parried with with unique low parry options like Dragunov's low parry, though much of the cast can launch punish it. Quite fast with high crush makes it a cheeky way to get out of pressure, but is quite minus on hit so it would be unwise to try and follow up.

#Marduk- d+1+2

Battering Ram

d+1+2

m

22

-12

Launch

i19

An evasive mid launcher. Does not have any high crush outside of the d input, but it can still go under a good amount of moves.

#Marduk- db+2

Flash Hook

db+2

m

20

-8

Knockdown

Launch (instant screw)

i16

One of Marduk's best mids. Good range, safe, counter hit launcher, gives a knockdown on normal hit. Can be used in neutral, to whiff punish, to enforce mix-ups out of plus frames, in combos to get corkscrew state. Should be used often as its reward is massive and the risk is very small.

#Marduk- db+4

Crab Leg

db+4

l

12,​ 10

-26

Knockdown

i23

low, ends grounded from a distance

A cheeky low that switches sides and does more damage when done close to the opponent. Not horrible on block despite being so minus as it leaves Marduk grounded, leaving most characters only able to get a single hit.

#Marduk- b+2

Spinning Backfist

b+2

m

24

-9

++4

Launch

i22~23

A slow but still good homing move with great range. Marduk does not necessarily need homing moves but this is still a good option to catch opponents stepping at range and let Marduk close the distance.
