This page is for Tekken 8. For Tekken 7, see Dragunov (Tekken 7).

"Dragunov is an aggressive rushdown character who wants to get in close and smother opponents with a relentless assault of pokes and heavy-hitting power mids. If you dare to challenge him, you open yourself up to his punishment, and if you run away, you'll quickly find your back to the wall. Dragunov forces you to make decisions, and makes you pay dearly for choosing incorrectly."

- That Blasted Salami. "Sergei Dragunov Overview." YouTube, 29 March 2020.

Going into Tekken 8, Dragunov benefits heavily from easier instant while running inputs, allowing him to reliably apply WR2 pressure at any range. In addition to this, his combo damage is now exceptionally high, boasting a much improved wall combo alongside his strong wall carry. In the neutral, new lows such as db+3+4 allow him to open his opponent up far easier.

Strengths
  • High damage
  • Amazing wall carry
  • Good pressure
  • Great low pokes to pester the opponnent with
  • Good backdash and sidestep
Weaknesses
  • Long startup on plus frames makes him succeptible to high reward counter hit retaliation
  • Quite weak to sidestep right
  • 121 is his only real counter hit utility
  • Lacks a good knockdown low to start snowballing with
