THE CLAUDIO RIGHT LEG CHALLENGE || Tekken 8
2Everybody knows Claudio's right leg is one of the most powerful legs in the Tekken universe, and once I remembered that my Claudio got de-ranked from the season reset, I had a really funny opportunity: playing with a challenge I made up while playing against a friend.
THE CLAUDIO RIGHT LEG CHALLENGE:
1) You must play in Ranked as Claudio
2) You can only use attacks with the 4 button, i.e. the right kick (cancelling Heat Burst activation is still banned despite not having a hitbox!)
3) Pressing other buttons for movement (standing or grounded), throw breaks, etc. are OK as long as they're not attacks
Note that there WERE some rounds I switched to a normal playstyle (hence the high winstreaks), but these rounds were not featured in the video. All clips were from rounds where I was exclusively following all the 3 rules above! This was just a for-fun thing I wanted to do while climbing back to my rank, but maybe someone better than me could do the challenge better lol
Some analysis on the allowed attacks for anyone that wants to try it:
4 - quickest standing poke/block punish, pretty meh otherwise
f+4 - plus mid, can be sidestepped, good move if you can throw it out
d/f+4 - decently ranged safe mid poke, good frames, would spam this more if I did the challenge again
d+4 - high-crushing low, OK panic button, minus on hit and launch-punishable on block
d/b+4 - very mediocre low poke, but OK in some situations
b+4, 4 - very delayable long ranged mid, mid counter hit launcher -- NOT a combo on normal hit, but this will be your spin move
u/f+4 - DAH, launcher, whiff punisher, i15 block punish from standing/crouch, very good
f, f+4 - genuinely very good mid poke, OK whiff punisher, helps with offense and can 50/50 pressure without risking too much; guaranteed 4 on counterhit (or d/f+4?? didn't try that)
ws 4 - i11 block punish, decent frame data for a potential mid poke if you want to iWS I guess?
ss 4 - genuinely very good low poke, knockdown on counterhit, hits grounded
While very lacking in some areas (none of these are homing moves), Claudio has a hilariously complete moveset with just his right leg.
