Miguel tutorial-Theory
Doctor’s max rank of Jin in TEKKEN7(arcade)
-18 dan(Savior)
Character aspects(min:1, max:5)
Intercept attack: 4
Offensiveness:4
Whiff Punish:4
Panic Moves:2
Block Punishment:3
Attack Strings:4
Intercept attack: 4
I use 3 basic moves
for Interception.
Ciclón(f+4,2)
Basically, stop by the
first kick.
If you think it hit,
do the second one.
Calambre(f+1+2)
Although it is High,
it is useful for Interception.
If it hits, you can get
additional damage with
d+1+2.
Rude Charge(f+2+3)
It is a tackle with
long range.
I personally use this
very often to keep
them away.
Offensiveness:4
Tortura(d/b+1),
might be very useful
against those who
can’t see it.
It is Low hit,
and go to a small combo.
In rage, Miguel can go to
high damage combo with
Tortura, 4(while rising) and RD.
And Miguel is good a t
mix up from
couching position.
Trinidad(2,2 while rising)
and
Punteo(d/f+4)
are the mix up.
Be careful that the second hit
of Trinidad is High,
so don’t do it when
you are not sure the
first one hit.
Miguel’s Savage Stance
has got some useful
Mids and Lows.
He has quite a lot
of moves to get
damage with Mix up.
Whiff Punish:4
Campeón(d/f+2,1)
is very useful for
Whiff attack, either
from back dash
or side step.
See above. Make sure
you don’t miss the chance.
But the range is not
enough, so that be careful
not to whiff your move.
Panic Moves:2
Not good.
High kick(4)
Launcher only CH.
The damage is not that high.
Guantazo(b+1)
Launcher when CH.
The combo damage is OK,
but still it is High attack.
Manotazo(b,f+1)
It goes sideway,
and hit back.
Looks useful,
but it is High,
and the additional damage
is not so good.
Block Punishment:2
Not very good.
13F punishment is
weak.
Attack Strings:4
He has some moves for
Attack Strings.
Because Miguel has
Savage Stance,
opponents will have to
stop what comes next.
Personally, left upper cut(d/f+1)
is very useful.
In general,
when you use Miguel,
try to control the opponents
from far distance.
And don’t miss the Whiff punish
chance.
Also Miguel has Savage Stance,
which makes the other player
think what to do or how to respond.
Tactics
1.Understand Savage Stance
You need to understand
which moves can go to SS,
or what can you do in SS.
It is very important to
understand it when you
use Miguel.
2. Back step
Miguel’s Back Step
is a threat.
Not only the speed itself,
but also he can do
Mix up from crouch position.
This one is Mid. I could confirm
the Whiff punish chance.
And this one is Low.
I was not sure I could get Whiff punish.
So, I chose Low.
As I mentioned above,
you need to take distance
and wait for the whiff chance.
Remember to crouch when
you step back.
3.Tackle
Rude Charge(f+2+3)
is very useful for
not high rank players.
You can just do it
randomly and get damage.
If the player tries to
avoid it with side walk,
then f,f+3 or f+4
would be useful.
If you watch my video above,
maybe you can figure out
the best timing.
(I couldn’t explain it myself.)
Conclusions
It is not very easy to
win with Miguel
at first.
But all you have to
understand is SS.
You can do whatever
you want,
SS or Mix up, or
Whiff attack, etc.
Enjoy Miguel!
