Rage

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.

Can only be used from HAR. Usable in neutral if your opponent is turtling by just going into raw HAR, but the situation isn't conducive to landing a heavy mixup afterwards anyway. Tracks right (Kat's "weak" side), but doesn't track left, so can be used to mix HAR.4 with it, which tracks the opposite way. Probably used best as a wall ender, since it does enormous unscaled damage there. So you want to save rage and use the extra poke damage in rage till you can land a wall splat or launcher into wall combo with RD.

Good old jab. Kat's seems to have slightly shorter range than most characters, allowing them to quickly backdash out of jab pressure. Can't really use jabs to pressure opponents with Kat unlike Feng, Bryan or Lidia.

• Combo from 1st NH
• jails

Jab string ending in -1 on block with extensions. Much better to stick to an opponent compared to single jab, so probably better to use in poking situations. Generally a bad idea to challenge it on block due to 1,1,1 and 1,1,2 (or even HAR transitions) that will CH you. Obviously need to condition them with it a bit. Tracks SS~move well, but can still be stepped or walked fairly easily.

Option to use to either mixup if opponent is respecting 1,1, or to evade high challenges on 1,1 if they're challenging it. Avoid going into HAR too often from it, and prefer to keep the mindgame restricted to 1,1 and 1,1,1_2.

The high mixup option to use from 1,1 and generally the more rewarding but also more risky option. Launch-punishable if ducked, but gives a full launch if opponents challenge 1,1. Also gives a whopping +7 if blocked, but the on block situation doesn't allow Kat to do much in neutral. The scrub-killer frame trap df+4 can be stepped, and most poking options can be backdashed. d+2 is a decent option, which CH-launches a lot of stuff such as backswing blows, and careless challenges. i10 CH moves might such as Ganryu's headbutt can win against it though, so maybe d+1 or df+2 is better. Can be pretty oppressive at the wall though.

• Can be stepped right

A more rewarding mid option to use from 1,1 since the on block situation is better (on hit is the same). Can be used to condition stand blocking to open up more 1,1,2. I'm not sure if that's worth it since 1,1,2 doesn't really lead to good mixups anyways (d3 can be backdashed, I think). If you use it more, opponent will think about stepping right to avoid it, instead of just trying to guess between duck or not, which adds to the mental stack and can get them hit by both 1,1,1 and 1,1,2 (they hit steppers), so it is a necessary option to use.

Generally used as a really high-risk high-reward option to catch stepping or ducking. Haven't really explored how it is used much since it is "risky". Technically launch-punishable, but I doubt most people will be ready to launch-punish at first usage it since it is seldom seen in my experience. Ghirlanda apparently has some tech for using it against Zaf but I don't know what it is.

• Combo from 1st NH

Excellent high-low non-jailing jab string which gives +1 on hit. The low has pretty good range too, although it's likely to be parried by a sharp opponent if they're seeing the jab into the start of the low. Good for creating momentum and pressuring the opponent up close. Anecdotally seems to be tough to parry, since I've seen Joonya 20z almost spam this without really getting punished for it. Follow-up situation is weird in that a df+1 seems to track better than normal. Almost no one can step it unless they SW (Zaf is an exception).

Tailspin

Kat's i12 punisher. Has excellent range, wallsplats, tailspins and does good damage. Could have been the best i12 punisher in the game if not for the sub-par situation on hit. Due to the ballerina spin, it gives almost no mixup opportunity on hit in the neutral. Most pokes can be backdashed or backswing blowed, dashing into a poke opens you up to getting magic 4-ed or hopkicked, and doing a long-range low option like df3+4 or db3 is highly risky (especially if the matchup makes the former also launch-punishable). Still need to explore how to better take advantage of this situation.

• Easily evaded by low-profile moves/stances

The start of Kat's 3-string. Has really good range, and can be used to harass an opponent by teasing them with just the first hit while they sit there blocking and waiting for the full string. It's really annoying being on the receiving end of a Kat just waggling her leg at you doing 3, then 3,3, then 3, then 3,3,3,F ad nauseam. Can be good for getting mental frames for a poke mixup. Further mental frames if they are conditioned to wait for 3,4, which can CH tailspin if they attempt to challenge standing 3.

Has mental frames since the string jails upto this point, but not the 5th hit. So they can be CH by the last hit if they attempt to punish. Will need to test if they do punish after 4 hits to make it worthwhile to do the 5th, since you jump from -11 to -14.

LNC

i11

Kat's magic 4. Really good at i11 with a challenging but damaging combo on CH, but -12. In practice, you will almost never be punished for it if you're properly mixing up 4, 4,4, 4,4,4 and 4,4,4,F since they will clip the opponent if they attempt to punish earlier. This also means you shouldn't use the string as a crutch to initiate mixups, and should keep it purely for CH-fishing. Using it for mixups just gives the opponent more data to use to punish it properly, and the mixups from it aren't that powerful to begin with (i.e., the HAR mixups). So don't force it.

• can SSR after 1st hit on block

The most common CH fishing magic 4 string that Kat players use. Shouldn't be done always since the mixup is between i10 punish or -1 HAR transition. The latter is also bad in the long run for Kat. If you only use this (or mixup between it and the HAR transition), you will almost always lose momentum after a CH fish attempt. This would be bad against characters with strong mixups.

• can SSR

Outside of using it as a mixup in the back, I'm not sure what this can be used for and how it fits into the 4-string mixup overall. Could probably be used if the opponent is not moving after 4,4,4, but why? Just mixup instead. I think this can be used as a harder callout on a jab punish on 4,4,4, but this is super-risky since the opponent could just step/duck and launch punish. Not sure if the follow-up 4 can be confirmed on CH or something either.

Orbital-like move that instead gives +1c on block, +5c on hit, and launches on CH. Tracks poorly, but has use in the neutral if you think your opponent if turtling up. The force crouch has a greater chance of inducing opponent retaliation, so a SS is good after. Still not sure how to CH-fish with it. Could possibly be used in oki situations (is used in a post-throw situation). Has decent range, but again - slow.

One of the best df1s in the game. Excellent range, -1 on block, has a small, high extension to catch steppers, but seems to track abnormally well. Seriously, its tracking is somewhat of a mystery to me. Different characters step it different ways, Dragunov can SSR it very inconsistently, and SWL seems to be better against it rather than SSR. Picks up Eddy's RLX; just a very good move overall.

• Combo from 1st NH

I rarely use this HAR transition. Not sure what it's good for, really. If you're using df1 as your mid check, with the occasional df1,1 to catch stepping, then this extension is not really necessary. Maybe just adds to the opponent's confusion if they're respecting your df1. You could potentially mix them up. Yes, if they're stepping or challenging, df1,1 would catch them, so they're conditioned to sit still. Then you could run HAR mixups. Have to use it sparingly though, compared to how much you'd use df1.

• Combo from 1st CH

The cheese KND string. Good and annoying against opponents who don't know how to deal with it, but virtually impossible to land against decent opponents. Better to just use df3 for the mental frames. Could possibly use it against a good opponent after using df3 a lot for the mental frames, and they start to challenge it. Could also use it against opponents who've been conditioned with df3,3,D usage and start challenging or checking it. Overall a risky move to use, so condition well.

Decent way to setup a FC mix. Can be ducked and ws4-ed by a sharp opponent, or straight hopkicked.

I wonder if you have to commit to the duck~ws4 to beat all options, or if just df3 into CH-move will punish it.

New move

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.
