Paul is a defensive character whose appearance deceptively implies a high powered brawler. While he does have the potential for explosive damage, his style is not so much going hard on pressure as it is quickly switching between hyper aggression and hyper defense.

His df+2 is notorious for its evasiveness, being able to beat highs precisely when opponents are most interested in using them.

The iconic moves Deathfist (qcf+2) and Demoman (d+4,2:1+2) make up one of Tekken's most classic mixups. Deathfist is also well-feared for its speed and power—dealing far more damage in one hit than anything else in its class—and its pushback makes it frustratingly tricky to punish.
