A standard move is a move that many characters share, either with exactly the same frame data (generic move) or with a similar function (common move). As a whole they make up big part of Tekkenâs overall âsystemâ. Understanding their function will make it easier to both pick up and play against new characters quickly.
Generic moves
This list of generic moves is not comprehensive. See also Throw and Run for more.
Jab
NameThe name of the move in the English localization.Most often directly from the in-game movelist, but can also be a community name.
AltOther inputs that also perform this move, written in notation.
InputThe input to perform the move, written in notation. This is often used as the move's name.For strings, the input of the previous moves in the string is shown but washed out.
Hit levelThe hit level of the move.Capital letters mean it hits grounded.For strings, the hit level of the previous moves in the string is shown but washed out.
DamageHow much damage the move does without any modifiers.For strings, the damage of the previous moves in the string is shown but washed out.
RangeThe maximum range recorded of the move hitting Lars on-axis. (For Tekken 7, it's vs Heihachi.) Assume an error of about ±0.03.For strings, this is the range of the whole string.This measurement shouldn't on its own be used to compare characters: larger characters get more "range" by this measure, but their opponents do too.
Left TrackingThe tracking score to the attacker's left.Roughly speaking, when up close, if the defender sidesteps or sidewalks right for no more than this many frames, the move still connects.
Right TrackingThe tracking score to the attacker's right.Roughly speaking, when up close, if the defender sidesteps or sidewalks left for no more than this many frames, the move still connects.
BlockThe frame advantage on block.Blank if the move can't be blocked (e.g., an unblockable or an aerial attack).For breakable throws, this is the frame advantage when the throw is broken.
HitThe frame advantage on hit.Blank if the move is not an attack, e.g. is a stance transition only.For throws, this is the frame advantage after the throw.
CHThe frame advantage on counter hit.Blank if this is the same as on normal hit, i.e. there is no special behavior on counter hit.
StartupThe active frames of the attack. The "i" stands for "impact", i.e. impact frame.If there is more than one hit, a comma indicates that frame 1 is now the frame after the last active frame of the previous hit.For strings, therefore, this usually has a leading comma.
RecoveryThe total number of frames, the recovery frames, and what stance the move recovers in, if any.The "t" stands for total and "r" for recovery. If no stance is listed, the move recovers in the default, standing position.For strings, the total frame count is from the start of the string with no delays.
NotesAnything that doesn't fit elsewhere.Many common move properties, such as whether a string can be delayed, go here.See Movelist#Notes for standard wording of common properties.
The jab, also known as one jab, is the baseline fastest standing attack. It functions as both an offensive toolâgiving frame advantage even on blockâand a defensive oneâbeing able to interrupt almost anything, with a fast enough recovery that itâs almost impossible to whiff punish.

The crouch jab, also known as duck jab or dick jab, is a primarily defensive tool. Its main value is being both fast and high crushing, enabling it to beat almost any opposing attacking optionâhighs are crushed, and mids and lows are too slow.
However, its payoff on hit is small, and the risk is high: It can be low parried, and its hitbox is so bad it's almost guaranteed to whiff against an opponent doing any movement whatsoever.
Note that unlike other crouching moves itâs able to recover standing. This helps many characters convert the plus frames on hit into real pressure by allowing standing moves to be done right away.
Crouch straight

The crouch straight is similar in function to the crouch jab, except itâs 1 frame slower. The tradeoff for this is a better hitbox, more damage, and more frame advantage. However, since the crouch jabâs main function is to relieve pressure, this tradeoff is mostly not worth it, so this is not used often.

The crouch shin kick is similar in function to the crouch straight, except itâs 1 frame slower. The tradeoff for this is, once again, a better hitbox, but more notably it's a low instead of a special midâand for that it also gets worse frames. This makes it not a strictly defensive tool, since itâll also do some damage against a defending opponent.

The delayed hopkick is a jumping launcher that deals a huge amount of damage. However, it's so slow that it often gets floated and is borderline reactable, and it's unsafe on block, so its main function is as a punisher for stagger lows and for hard reads against lows.
