I just started Tekken 8 maining Claudio. My first ever Tekken. made it to Kishin , but let me tell u this character is painfully honest. no low launchers , no mid + moves except f4 which takes 22 frame. sometimes when I play against alisa, Nina, drag I think why am I playing this smh

[@rurounijay7100]

Somewhat honest. Not painfully. Still one of the strongest characters in the game, you have to be a strong player with great fundamentals discipline and conditioning to pilot him and use his moves effectively. Hes far from top 10 but high tier no question, borderline top tier, he has the tools to be a threat, and every character should have a weakness

[@ashh4376]

this character have worst heat burst

[@josephbellamy1976]

As a Claudio main, I think part of his difficulty comes from the fact that he is one of the easiest matchups to learn in the game. Claudio therefore have to be sound in their fundamentals to rank up (especially in blues+) as opposed to most characters which while technically "harder" in terms of execution, can overwhelm opponents with knowledge checks/cheese.

[@ShadyBase]

You never see Claudio. I havent seen him for WEEKS. So, I don't bother labbing him for a lost pizzabaker once in a few months. So, with that being said, Claudio mains should get free wins most of the time.

[@gasgy]

@ShadyBase That makes two of us, super rare finding a Claudio online, so never borthered either.

[@josephbellamy1976]

@ShadyBase But once you do actually sit down and learn it, it takes like, 20 minutes. Even if you almost never see him, you literally might as well learn it if you're going to play this game semi-seriously b/c the amount of time you spend learning it is virtually nothing compared to other rare characters like bears or Zafina. The only move he has that has a moderately complicated solution is stb d1, 2. That compared to labbing Xiaoyu and Yoshimitsu's 100+ options is nothing.

[@ShadyBase]

@@josephbellamy1976 I accept the fate I will never be a pro player after I have been playing since T3 (T3. T4, (T5, T6 sucked played for 1 week, and picked T7 after S2) and I'm old now.

Zaf and Panda literally less than 5 times since january.

[@conscriptreporting6265]

thats true. i'm a lee main but i dabbled with claudio a little in tekken 7, now, even though its been more than a year since i labbed claudio, the only way for a claudio to win against me is if they play a lot better than i do lol, the matchup is very simple and its easy to know all the punishable moves and strings.

Wooow It's crazy how I was just talking about Claudio being a difficult character that's my opinion though. Claudio mains ey...don't worry it's difficult for me as well i am a Zafina main but ey still though if you can teach me your ways🥰

[@kingkino2116]

My only real difficulty with Claudio is how annoying/persistent you have to be to convince people to duck. Like let me risk my life on 20 measly db4,3s and SS4 across multiple rounds so they finally duck into b1 at the wall once. Risk my life on multiple WR2s so they get greedy for the duck and launch, now i can play run up mid. Claudio forced me to get REAL good at spacing/stepping/ducking and punishing tho. My other characters like Zafina can just run their strong 50/50s with high damage, huge + on hit and/or knockdown lows to open people up, which is technically a much riskier way to play even if it seems easier

[@TumpsBudGuy]

Claudio makes you focus on the parts of the games that other chars can just skip. He is a really easy char to get greedy with and lose a lead with too. I realized in t7 when i mained him that he made it easier for me to learn other chars. Everyone complains about db 1+2 but it takes alot for me to set up on someone above Fujin. Sidestepping well with claudio is a must. Spacing is no joke the name of the game with him. Its crazy how many GOOD players i can catch just because i know the tip range of my launchers which are deceptively enormous. If i was gonna suggest something it would be dont learn a single combo,they are braindead easy anyway and you can learn all of his optimal routes in less than an hour, and play unranked and punish punish punish. Act like you are playing T7 and play for punishes and spacing. It doesnt matter if you lose

[@benobeno9919]

[@Sahandi.Aaliyah]

​@@TumpsBudGuy noted...I am doing fine with the one combo I use with Claudio when i do play as him but I'll keep it in mind and yea I agree he definitely focus more on the parts of the game mostly other characters can skip I think this is why most of the player base rather be other characters but I actually like Claudio and Zafina and I've been maining her since T6 and I've been wanting to learn Claudio really well as well I do appreciate the advice I learn more optimal routes as I play throughout with him more I just started playing him in T8

[@Sahandi.Aaliyah]

​@@kingkino2116 tbh I thought i was the only Zafina player I still somewhat believe that cause in T8 Noone plays her from ranked or casuals most matches I never see one its every once in a blue moon rare although it's understandable she's pretty weak compared to the meta Characters like Reina,Jin,Eddy,Azucena,Dragunov,Lidia etc but i love Zafina that's my T6 main I can make it work even against some of the top tier characters and players and I've had a great journey with her along the Tekken series to come but I want to take a break with zafina and master Claudio which I will eventually haha have a nice day 🩷🩷

[@TumpsBudGuy]

Hes one of the easiest Char in the terms of actual inputs. He doesnt really have any high level mechanics or anything. His difficulty comes from mind gaming opponents to duck and spacing them out for a hopkick or db1+2. Hes alot like a mishima without an electric or wavedashing. You are suppose to poke low bait for a rising 2 or hopkick. But i agree while he is my main in t7 and t8 he is boring as fuck to watch compared to some of the other Tekken chars but saying his combo damage is low is hilarious go watch @Xhk Asad
