Nightmare|Gura showcases the “secrets” to playing Leo, Lili, and Kazumi in Tekken 7

One of the standout Tekken 7 players at Evo Japan last month was Team Nightmare’s Gura, who made it to top 8. The Korean player has made a name for himself in Tekken 7 playing Leo, Lili, Kazumi, and Geese Howard.

Now, Gura has released a series of videos where he “leaks the secrets” of some of these characters. Specifically, the videos below go over playing Leo, Lili, and Kazumi — no guide for Geese yet.

Take note that the guides below are in Korean, but with English captions thanks to translator suoder.

Gura himself constantly streams and creates content for Tekken 7, so interested viewers should check out both his Twitch and YouTube channels.
