Revision as of 03:12, 15 January 2021
| Hwoarang (Tekken 7) |
|---|
If there is one thing players can agree about Hwoarang, it's that he is not for the faint of heart, literally. Boasting a humongous 100+ movelist, numerous stances, lack of reliable defensive tools, having matchups only ranging from even to bad, and a steep learning curve. This puts players who want to learn Hwoarang in a peculiar situation. Thankfully, his frame data is rather exemplary as most of his moves leave him in frame advantage or at a slight disadvantage. Allowing the taekwondo extraordinaire to easily pressure opponents with his mixups at close range and simply stay there.
Hwoarang’s gameplan is centered on a constant flurry of strings which chips at the opponent's lifebar; robbing them of their turn as they are forced to react to the next mixup over and over again. Combining this with one of the strongest and consistent combo damage outputs both in open and with wall this makes this Talon one tough matchup to deal with.
