Master Raven is one of the more unorthodox characters in Tekken 7. She lacks a standard hopkick, has poor punishment options, and relies heavily on advanced stance and crouch dash use. None of this means she’s a bad character (far from it!) but it does mean she has a learning curve that could prove daunting to new players.

That’s why a guide like sneaky coyote’s is so useful. More then just frame data, this guide gives a detailed breakdown of every move, its risk, and its usefulness. Since a large chunk of learning a character is just breaking down a move-set, this guide is a great starting point for Apprentice Ravens.

If you’re just beginning your journey into studying the mechanical workings of fighting games, the idea of a hitbox may be little more then trivia to you. Though many (not all!) fighting game developers don’t allow you to see the actual hitboxes, understanding their role in the game you play is critical to your development as a player.

Sea Leaf Dojo recently put out an educational video on the way hitboxes, hurtboxes, and collision boxes shape interactions in fighting games. Its a great starting point for those curious to know what’s going on behind the scenes of their favorite fighters.

Its no secret that Asuka’s Rage Drive is very good in Tekken 7. The list of positives are outstanding: it’s +11 on block, starts combos and hits mid. If that wasn’t enough for you, Asuka can also combo into it from a wide variety of situations.

Tekken pro TDG|Fergus has compiled every stray hit that can lead to a free Rage Drive. As a character with several odd and long strings, this opens up a lot of big damage opportunities from seemingly inconsequential pokes like the B1+4 string, and safe crushing mids like 3+4.

If you have six minutes to spare, then you have time to get a quick understanding of Bryan’s toolset in Tekken 7. This is thanks to the efforts of Cutcc, a Tekken content creator who is working on the tutorial series “QuickNotes.”

These highly-condensed videos are an info-dump of punishment, pressure, combos, and even some match-up specific tools. Whether you’re trying out Bryan for the first time, or just need a quick reference to fight against him, this visual guide will help you out.

Though officially listed as the “Windup Uppercut” in the Tekken 7 command list, the just-frame version of Jack-7’s combo filling uppercut is generally (and amusingly) referred to as the Electric Mecha God Fist (or EMGF) in the Tekken community. While not at all critical to the robot’s neutral play (EMGF’s just-frame blue spark is purely cosmetic and changes nothing about its frame data), it is the highest damage Jack can get in select situations. And it’s flashy. That’s important, yeah?

For the situations where learning EWGF can beef your combo damage up, such as off of FF+1, novriltataki has created a great tutorial video. In it he walks you through the input, and a few tricks to understanding why you might be having trouble with it.

Season 2 of Street Fighter V has been very kind to Rashid. SFV’s offense-oriented world plays to his high-octane strengths, and the series of quality of life buffs he received only made him a bigger threat over time. With all that in mind, The Prince has made a guide to punishing Rashid with Akuma for ECThrowdown.

Even if you aren’t an Akuma main, though, it’s still worth checking out: The Prince mercifully listed the frame data for each Rashid move in video, so you can use this as the basis for experimenting with your own character!
