TEKKEN 8 | Reina Frame Trap Guide

[@setoace]

Heaven's wrath has only limited option for mix ups. so when you see you're opponent starts to respect this stance and trying to get a read out of it, you can expand your option by transitioning from HW stance to sentai (f+3) or wind step.(d/f).

[@MishimaComplex]

Good point! Ty for the info 🙏

[@marquisbean1752]

I've learned to use D4 to 3 out of HWS. If they are not parrying low then the 2nd hit typically lands with a delayed input of 3. If they are a masher on block then let the 3 rip instantly.

[@doogman850]

But remember yoshi dont care about plus frame he will flash u if u keep doing plus frames.

[@MishimaComplex]

Yep 😂

Just bait it out and electric 🤷

[@killjoix]

This video was actually amazing. Less than 5 minutes, but covered all you could ask for.

[@hollowedboi5937]

Its odd how in lower ranks it feels kinda more limiting because people often spam and don't respect your moves as much, but in higher ranks it looks like sometimes they either country or punish in different ways or respect you more and therefore give you more freedom to try other options. Course depends on the opponent and character but interesting nonetheless. Yoshi players countrer, powercrush, grabs sometimes just beat your stuff so you can play slightly differently with them.

[@maradri03gaming9]

I was so lost with what to actual press when. Great vid!

[@KaizikuM]

Thank you. I've understood frames, but Reina is so new to me. My friend understands this better with his old characters, so he whoops me a lot. I needed this lol

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

Thank you! You do a great job explaining concepts quickly and easy to digest. And thank you for keeping the videos straight to the point. Your tips have helped me advance far and fast in ranked.

[@GyanyPlays]

I'm a better Reina player thanks to your guides man many thanks 🙏🏻

[@superjosifus]

F4 into DF1 is nice because you can hit confirm the follow up 2, recommend playing around with that.

[@AnActualDinosaur]

"You're limited to heaven's wrath moves after this" Brother, that's all I want, I wanna be in that stance all day, every day lol. As always, thank you for the amazing guide 🙏

[@MishimaComplex]

Yep it’s a goated stance 😂 thanks for the support 🙏

[@nyrva2876]

This stance is only good in heat for the counter. Whenever I go into this stance I get interrupted. And I'm in low ranks (assalliant). I really don't like her stances in general. People mash or grab you when you switch, basically when someone knows her, she's useless. Unless you master electrics and wave dashes, this character cannot be played effectively.

[@paolomoonman]

Another thing with Heaven's Wrath is that quite a few options are linear. After the hellsweep transition, they can sidewalk the WRA 2 and WRA 3, 4 options. What you can do to keep them from stepping is WRA 1 which is a homing high. On normal hit, you get a guaranteed SEN 3 and on counter hit you get a guaranteed SEN 1+2 (can also get a perfect electric of you don't transition into Sentai).

[@MishimaComplex]

Good point! I think HW3+4 tracks pretty well but haven’t tested it properly, ty for the info 👊

[@FrewtLupes]

just wanted to say i just started playing reina and your guides have helped me understand her strengths/weaknesses/tools/options SO much. your guides are all very digestible and easy to understand. thanks for helping me embrace the mishima sweat!

[@BackTurnedLegend]

Good stuff man, I’m glad someone finally talked about how good F,1+2 is, I abuse that stance while mixing it up with F,3+4 and it’s cancel

[@nyrva2876]

I've been playing her since launch and she just feels like a complete waste of time. Still can't do electrics (30% success rate) and my wave dashes are slow as hell. I guess this character is not for me.

[@MegaMarioRed]

@@CG1337Noob grind and lab mostly, quickplay and the replay feature are your best friend to improve. I lab also popular characters like dragonuv or victor so you know when to punish their strings, and also I watch some streams of some pro players like tk_anakins's reina try to imitate how they play and how they initiate, that was a big factor in me climbing.

[@darkpromeathean937]

[@MirasR]

For every action there is a counter-action - armored moves

[@gustavogoesgomes1863]

not exactly a frame trap I think but some opponents love to try to interrupt electrics. so when I get an electric blocked, I like using wind step 3 (f, n, 3). it's a fast mid, has obscene range and launchers in counter hit, but is very linear from what I know. you can also just sidestep/backdash and see if they whiff something. I've been using mostly 3+4, 4 as a whiff punisher as a lot of moves recovers ducking and electrics don't launch them.

[@MishimaComplex]

Yeah F n 3 is such an underrated move! Ty for the info ❤️

[@jungleoats5697]

I think any plus frames that lead into heavens wrath are really good as it is an auto parry so if they duck while running 4 you are typically safe from punishment.

[@plaguesnstuff7657]

Its only an auto parry in heat.

[@MishimaComplex]

The heavens wrath transitions are disgusting! And yeah heat only but makes FFF4 so strong 💪

[@thatpersoneveryoneknowsbut7533]

Great video. a bit much to digest though , could benefit from a summary of a few recommended options at the end and then obviously the rest of the video would still have the more situational ones.

Do you have any ideas for her low to the ground stance? Where she puts her hand on the ground. I can't remember what it's called or find to use for it. I thought it could duck highs, but it doesn't seem to do it consistently.

[@MishimaComplex]

I’ll make a video on it soon 👀, it has pretty niche uses tbh and definitely isn’t necessary, but it’s definitely satisfying to use 😂

[@kevinneth5225]

Very nice guide! But at 2:00 why you don't recommend df2 after a +6f ?

It may work in lower ranks but as you climb most people will respect +6 and just block or move, and DF2 can be block punished or maybe even backdashed 👍

With my 2nd main Reina I'll start traping my opponent & do a lot of pressure moves with her

[@ReYsiRiDLeY]

Noice guide but as a Reina main, i fail to execute most moves in ranked as they are easily deflected by my rival. Such as most of the HW moves, launching with EWGF, time consuming lows.

[@MishimaComplex]

What rank are you at the moment? I find in some ranks certain strategies are much better than others 🤔

[@ReYsiRiDLeY]

@@MishimaComplex Combatant as Reina

[@nyrva2876]

Exactly. I've got the exact same problems with her.

[@nyrva2876]

Most other characters have lower execution barriers and better lows and are just better all around. (easier launchers, more counter hit options) and that alone makes her not good for a casual like me. Having a launcher on low stance makes you take a ton of damage where others can launch you from a quick low followed by a launcher (it's a string) for example.

For me they just block, and punish my random switch stances. Those frame traps don't help on blocking opponents. When it's their turn I get demolished. I think I won 1 set today that's it. I keep running into the same people that know everything I do since it's obvious to abuse things that work. So they wait for it and it doesn't work anymore. On my end, I learn nothing and the more matches I play, the more I lose. Time to switch character I guess.
