Tips
- 0
Use f+4 (Right Splits Kick) to pressure Steve; it is +4 on block and enters FUJ stance, which can overwhelm Steve's close-range options.
- 0
Punish Steve's b+1 (Quick Hook) or b+2 (Body Bomb) with 1,1,2 (Flash Punch Combo) for a guaranteed knockdown, as both are -13 or worse on block.
- 0
Steve's Sonic Fang (1+2) is -12 on block; punish it consistently with 1+2 (Demon Breath) or 1,2,2 to discourage him from using it as a mid check.
- 0
Be wary of Steve's CH b+1; if you suspect it, use ub+2 (Skull Rupture) which parries high and mid punches from frames 5-12.
- 0
Heihachi's Electric Wind God Fist (f,n,d,df:2) is +5 on block, allowing you to maintain pressure even if Steve tries to sway or duck.
- 0
Against Steve's low pokes like d+1 (-13) or d+2 (-18), use ws4,4 or ws1 to punish heavily and take back the momentum.
- 0
In Heat, use Enraged Tettsui Otoshi (H.2+3) to force a +10 block situation, effectively trapping Steve against the wall where his movement is limited.
