Katarina (Kat) is a dirt-simple character based around poking and counterhit-baiting. She is great for beginners due to her low execution requirements and simple gameplan. She scales with the strength of your fundamentals, and has a good amount of cheese to keep things exciting.

Katarina's Harrier stance transitions and mix-ups can easily play neutral for you, putting the onus on your opponent to defend correctly. However, against opponents who turtle up and step right constantly, Katarina can struggle.

Strengths
  • Simple Gameplan: Katarina's strong df+1, d+4, 4,4 and uf+4,4 allow her to easily start playing a fundamental Tekken poking game.
  • Easy Execution: Katarina's inputs and combos are as easy as they come, with no qcfs or tight links in sight.
  • Counterhit Monster: Katarina has a good collection of CH tools in df+4, b+4 and d+2 that cover a wide variety of timings and ranges.
  • Damaging Combos: When Katarina gets a launch, it hurts. Her BnB combo off of her standard i15 launcher hits for a respectable 72 damage.
  • Good Whiff Punishment: With easy inputs and long range on her whiff punishers like 2,2, uf+4,4 and f,F+2,4, whiffing against Katarina will get punished hard.
Weaknesses
  • Poor Lows: Katarina's lows don't encourage an opponent to duck; either dealing low damage (d+3) or being very risky if blocked (df+3+4, db+3, db+4).
  • Poor Homing Moves: A slow homing move in f,F+4 and a low reward tracking tool for her weak side (b+1,2 means Katarina gets stepped to the right all day.
