TEKKEN basic tutorial:Delay strike
I would like to show you
one technique,which I call
“Delay Strike”.
It is very useful in matches.
Please try it.
1. What is “Delay Strike”?
My definition of
“Delay Strike” is
“To wait for a moment
and attack them.”
Let’s say you blocked something.
For example, you block
Bryan’s Flying Heel(u/f+4).
If you do 1,2 or d/f+1,
for sure they will be blocked.
And if you do Low kick or throws,
there are risk that Bryan will crouch.
In that case,
you can wait for a moment.
The opponent might think like,
“Is he not coming?”
“Maybe a Low attack will come?”
And he might try to reactor crouch.
Then it is a good chance to do Mid attack.
If the opponent reacts,
then counter hit.
If the opponent crouches,
then normal hit. See below.
After I blocked Bryan’s 1,4,
I didn’t strike back soon.
I waited and move around and strike back.
You can see Bryan’s was reacting.

Same here.Wait for a moment and strike back.
This is the Delay Strike.
And some players do Follow-up moves,
after they have miss shot.
You can also wait for them.

2.What move is good for “Delay Strike”?
I would like to show you
what moves are used
for”Delay Strike”.
1.Mid attack without punishment
2.Launcher for crouch position
3.Big damage when countered
4.Not slow move
First, they should be without punishment.
Because you do it very often.
And hopefully it can be a combo launcher
for both countered and normal hit.
And if the move is too slow,
they can hit you back first.
The move with all conditions is
Asuka’s 1+2.
*For whole movie, see Asuka Vol.2
And also Paul’s Smasher
is useful when the opponent
who doesn’t have punishment.
See above.
There is an unusual moment.
That is why Josie try to react against.
Bryan’s Chopping Elbow
is good for Delay Strike.
It is Frame Advantage on block,
so you can do it again and again,
until they try to move.
Conclusions
Wait for a moment,and attack them.
This technique is very useful.
It is easy and not risky.
