This page is for Tekken 8. For Tekken 7, see Shaheen (Tekken 7).
Shaheen is a simple, fundamental, "back-to-basics" character. His gameplan revolves almost entirely around his extremely potent full crouch (FC) mix-up and in controlling space through an abundance of great pokes. He has a strong punishment kit and both a generic df+2 and a hopkick to whiff punish with. He has several strong counterhit tools to dissuade mashing, and decent plus frame mids to pressure a defensive opponent.
Shaheen takes great advantage of Tekken 8's grey health system. He has several good moves that deal chip damage on block, while also being blessed with moves that entirely remove grey health. With Heat, Shaheen's FC mix and grey life manipulation become even more potent, as he is able to repeatedly chip the opponent down while threatening either a slide, launching mids like ws2 or uf+4, or a guard breaking high in the form of his new move, Al-Ghul Master (H.D*,u+2), which leads to a follow-up that erases grey health.
Shaheen also sports a strong looping mixup at the wall while in Heat, as Al-Ghul Master guarantees a f23 on block which deals extra damage and advantage at the wall, allowing Shaheen to mixup with either another Al-Ghul Master, or a wall-splatting mid.
Shaheen doesn't have many notable weaknesses in his gameplan. However, he also doesn't have any notable strengths. His pressure is not oppressive enough to force an opponent to interact. His wall game is powerful in heat, but quite weak outside of it, having some of the lowest wall-combo damage in the game. Being so honest is a both a blessing and a curse, as taking advantage of his fundamentals-oriented kit demands strong fundamentals.
