This page is for Tekken 8. For Tekken 7, see Master Raven.

Raven is a versatile, well-rounded character with a strong grip over the mid range thanks to an array of solid, tracking pokes and keepout moves. His unique Shadow Sprint is a highly versatile movement-based stance that gives him a variety of approach options and powerful mixups, such as the character-defining iWS2. This synergizes with his pokes and backturned stance, which give him access to strong counter hit tools, unique defensive options, and good mixups. Raven is an unorthodox character to play, but an expressive and rewarding one to master.

Though boasting high combo damage, Raven suffers in block punishment, with weak early punishment and the lack of a standing i15 launcher, though this is mitigated with the rare ability to launch at i14 from crouch. Weak low pokes means opening up patient players can be risky, and a Raven player must get creative with their offense to safely land mixups.
