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
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.
