Dive deep into Tekken 3's technical elements, including damage modifiers, juggle damage, and game-breaking glitches. Learn advanced strategies and master the controls.
This section delves into the technical aspects of Tekken 3, covering advanced mechanics and glitches that can significantly impact gameplay. Understanding these elements is crucial for high-level play.
Multi-throws: These are character-specific throw moves that require precise execution. Details on how to perform them can be found within each character's dedicated section.
Technical
Damage Modifiers:
- Normal Connect (unguarded hit): 100% of normal damage.
- MNRC: 120% of normal damage.
- MJRC: 150% of normal damage.
- Clean Connect: 150% of normal damage.
Note: If modified damage results in a remainder, it is dropped. For example, 150% of 7 is 10.5, but the .5 is dropped, resulting in 10 damage.
Juggle Damage:
- First hit (juggle starter): 100% of normal damage.
- Second hit: 80% of normal damage.
- Third and following hits: 50% of normal damage.
Glitches:
A 'chickened' right kick reversal grants the chickening character several frames of advantage. Performing specific moves after this can trigger glitches:
| Chickening Character | Move Performed | Effect on Opponent (2P) |
|---|---|---|
| Hwoarang | df+4 | bt throw (after d~db+1+3) |
| King | f~n~b~db~d~df~f+1 | bt throw (after b~f+1+2) |
| Forrest Law | df+4 | bt throw (after f~f+3+4) |
| Julia Chang | 2 | bt (no throw) |
| Lei Wulong | df+4 | bt throw (after uf+1+2) |
| Nina Williams | df+4 | bt (no throw) |
| Ogre I | d+4 | bt (no throw) |
| Ogre II | 1 | bt throw (after df~df+2+4) |
| Paul Phoenix | df+4 | bt throw (after F~df+1+2) |
Note: 'bt' refers to 'backturned'.
Strategy
Introduction:
Tekken 3 introduces new offensive and defensive options, with an outstanding level of control over your character and an exceptional defending system. However, many of these advancements are often overlooked by new players.
The Stick Factor:
High-level Tekken 3 play demands excellent controls. Playing on subpar controllers can severely hinder execution, especially for moves like low parries, making them significantly harder to perform consistently. The author emphasizes that true high-level play is only achievable on high-quality arcade sticks ('stix').
