Doctor’s max rank of Heihachi in TEKKEN7

In this page,I would like to share
some of my tips with you.
Based on theory part.
1.Make the most of Middle moves
As I wrote in Theory part,
Heihachi’s middle moves
are very strong and useful.
I would like to tell you
good points and weak points
of each middle move.
1-1.Lightning Crush(f+3)
Middle moves without Block Punish.
You get down with NH,
and combo with CH.
It is rather quick move.
I use this move
when facing the wall
to get wall stun.
Moves with elbow or knee
are not parryable with
Asuka’s or Nina’s.
So for some Asuka players,
they rely on Parry in wall behind.
It would be very effective
against them.
And also I use it,
to get Delay strike.
To see Delay Strike,
please check my article below.
If you do this after they block
your Slash Kick(f,f,f+3),
they cannot stop it.
See above. Raven is trying to
avoid it by d+1,
but it won’t stop me.
1-2.Right Splits Kick(f+4)
Frame Advantage when blocked.
Additional damage with CH.
And what is most important is,
when they crouch,
you can get additional damage
with Muso(d/f+1,2).
When they crouch,
they show their heads off.
Personally, this move
is the most effective
middle moves in Heihachi.
I use it for,
“Okizeme”and”Wall situation”
When they block it,
d/f+1 is not stoppable.
But some players try to
escape by side walk.
In that case,
you can use Homing attack(b+4).
Additional damage in CH.
1-3.Left Splits Kick(f,f+3)
Combo launcher in NH and CH.
It has no Block Punishment.
The weakpoint is its slowness.
Be careful not to get CH.
It is very effective to do it
as Mix up or Okizeme.
1-4.Demon Uppercut(f,f+2)
Very long range launcher.
For most characters,
they have no punishment
for this move.
I do this as Interceptor,
or Whiff Punishment for
stand-up-kick, etc.
1-5.Homing attack(b+4)
Get down in NH,
no Block Punishment.
It is very useful in wall situation.
Another good point is that,
it is a screw move,
so when it is hit in the air,
you can get additional combo.
This move won’t
cover low position,
so sometimes it misses
against some moves,
such as Lili’s(d/b+4) etc.
1-6.Hell Axle(u/f+3,4)
Combo launcher in NH and CH.
Its range is also long.
Since it has Jump Status,
their Sitting Punch(d+1)
won’t work.
For my career, it is effective
whenever they try to step back.
See above.
It works when they
try to step back.
The weakness is that it doesn’t
hit against sidewalk.
If the opponent is walking side way,
you should do the Homing Attack
to make them stop.
Conclusions
In this part, I focus on
Heihachi’s middle moves.
If you want to use Heihachi,
first of all, try to use
these middle moves
as much as you can.
I will show you
how to get more damage
in other articles.
