Shaheen is a new playable character in the Tekken series making his debut in Tekken 7.
Shaheenâs gameplay mainly revolves around poking and enforcing his full crouch mix-up. He
has good pokes, mix-ups, and a variety of counter hit tools to frustrate and oppress the opponent.
The skill required to play Shaheen effectively is also very low; making him a viable tournament
character and a great introductory character for new players. He has three key weaknesses:
mediocre plus-on-block moves, no consistent long-range punishment, and a non-existent wall
game. To conclude, Shaheen is a very straightforward character with a very straightforward
game plan.
