Feng strategy

MID RANGE TOOLS

f+4: Good safe keepout tool. Can transition to BT while still being easy to confirm into a combo.

b+1+2: Shoulder. Your i13 punish that works very well as a fast whiff punisher due it's good range. The most common way you'll be entering Heat.

f,F+2: Big safe mid Heat Engager. Can be hard to whiff punish because he takes a step back during the recovery frames.

df+4,3: Nice mid check with a natural high extension. Careful, because your opponent can duck and punish the 2nd hit.

db+3: Great long range low that's + on hit with a nice reward on CH. While no longer pseudo-homing, it can still be difficult to step around it.

df+3+4: Safe homing mid that gives a guaranteed 3~4 on hit.

b+3+4 (KNP): Not a bad idea to just throw this out in the mid-range to see if your opponent whiffed. Read more in the KNP section.

APPROACH

FC.df+4,1 - Can also be done out of his roll dash (qcf) by inputting d,DF+4 to extend the range. The string is a natural combo and is +6 on hit. Unlike previous versions of this move, the first hit doesn't stagger on block which means the opponent has do duck both hits of the string in order to punish it. However, doing just the first hit leaves you in BT where you can actually Powercrush through an attempted punish if they're too slow. This will eventually force your opponent to try to low parry the move if they want to deal with it effectively, giving you the opportunity to start your offense. Mix FC.df+4,1 with ws1 and other mid options on your approach.

ws1 - fantastic approach tool

ws1,3 - Delayable follow up to dissuade mashing after ws1. It is a high, but giving your opponent the idea to duck can be used in your favor.

qcf+1 - Unparryable low that CH launches. Slower than FC.df+4 but great to annoy your opponent with in combination.

f+3: Long mid that can get you into range. Follow-ups in f+3,2 and f+3,4 can make the opponent hesitate. Try not to do f+3,4 on block as it's heavily punishable.

wr3: Typical wr3

CLOSE RANGE TOOLS

1: The standing jab is the basis of every strategy in Tekken. Use it to check if strings are safe, to check for gaps, and to start your pressure.

1,3: Safe jab string that leaves you at -5

1,1: Unsafe jab string that can net you a big CH with the follow-up. Use if your opponent is mashing after a single jab.

b+1: i10 high that gives you a guaranteed b+1+2 on CH. Use to dissuade your opponent from mashing. Not bad risk-reward as it's only -10 on block.

df+1: Not your typical df+1, but very good as it's -0 on block. Df+1 > b+1 is a classic CH setup.

df+3: A fast and safe mid that instantly Tornados on hit. Use if you want a safe option to mix-up your opponent with.

d+2: A good high-crushing low that leaves you in FC.

d+4: An advancing low that leaves you right in their face. An underrated tool.

b+4: Very fast short range mid to check if the opponent is ducking or trying to step

b+3: Mom said it's my turn to be plus.

uf+2: Evasive mid that takes a big step to Feng's left. Can be done from crouch due to the U input, so it can get you out of a lot of situations.

qcf+1+2: Now +0 on block instead of plus, but still forces crouch. Still a good tool to limit the opponent's options if they give you the space to do so.
