This page is for Tekken 8. For Tekken 7, see Hwoarang (Tekken 7).

Hwoarang is a heavy hitting rush down, using strong plus frames and his many stances to force opponents into a torrent of snap defensive decisions - many of them granting Hwoarang huge damage potential.

While infamous at lower levels of play due to being an absolute blender of stance attacks, Hwoarang requires high levels of execution and a more measured approach to pressure at high level due to his best sources of plus frames often requiring highs.

Strengths

• Multilayered mix from his multiple stances means that Hwoarang is a veritable blender on offense
• High damage output
• Great whiff punishment, thanks to b+3 and Just Frame Sky Rocket
• Fantastic jabs which lead into his stance pressure

Weaknesses

• Hwoarang has relatively poor crush properties on his moves, particularly when it comes to high crush
• Poor keepout
• Vast moveset across four stances can be intimidating to learn
• Cannot block during his Flamingo and Right Flamingo stances, meaning his pressure is susceptible to rage arts
• Requires high execution to access his best tools
• Somewhat lacking in defensive options
• Many key tools are highs, meaning his stance pressure runs the risk of being crushed.
