I love the impression that Reina is simple but in reality playing her is difficult cause your really need to utilize all her tools to an extent.I actually just hit Mighty Ruler w/ her and let me tell you the grind was insane as this is my first tekken. Really had to lock in. The occasional mirror matches helped me find other rhythms with her. Using her more unorthodox moves too has really helped keep things fresh and opponents guessing.

Hey lotus, just a tip from a mishima player, try playing on right side, its a lot easier to get electrics/wavus when you're first trying. Its will help you get the timing then you can go back to left. I know doing electrics arent all mishimas have to offer and you hate players that just have execution with no fundamentals. But it is a great tool and more importantly looks badass. ;)

Xiaoyu voiced Haruhi from high school host club. Asuka is Shroedinger from Hellsing ultimate. Law is the English VA for Kento Nanami from JuJutsu Kaisen, and Reina is the Jap VA for Kugisaki. Alisa is Lucy from Elfen Lied. Victor is literally Monsieur Hood from the English version of Shrek.

Reina Sen 3 can be ducked and is launch punishable after that. Once u do that they will most likely stop doing it and do other sen move but those can be side stepped except for the low i think. Against Jun just duck jab her izumo so u dont have to guess what she will do. Her izumo can be entered by (1,1), (f1),(1,2,2),(f3,2) and (u1). You can duck the (1,2,2),2nd hit of (f3,2) and launch punish accordingly. Hope this helps u in getting out of early red
@JohnSmith-yn9ju7 ай бұрын
Most Reina players just ff2 in sentai the whole game and don’t use electric lol. You can interrupt all of her options except the power crush which unsafe. It’s better to duck the kick out of sentai tho because it’ll be a trade although you interrupted it. Once you do this they’ll be forced to go for lows and grabs.

Outside of that, it's all about figuring out the utility of the moves. The hard part is learning what to use and what to forget about. After that, you're pretty much good to go.
