Alright, let's break down Hwoarang's Right Foot Forward (RFF) stance in Tekken 3. This is where he gets really dangerous, with a ton of quick kicks and tricky strings. We'll cover the basic movements and then get into the offensive stuff. Pay close attention, because mastering this stance is key to really playing Hwoarang effectively.

RFF Maneuvers:

First off, let's talk about how to move around in RFF. These aren't attacks, but they're crucial for setting them up:

• f — This is just a quick walk forward. Good for closing small gaps.
• f~f — This is a dash forward. Use this to quickly close distance or pressure your opponent.
• b — A short walk backward. Useful for creating space or baiting an attack.
• b~b — A dash backward. Great for getting out of range quickly.
• F — This switches your stance to Left Foot Forward (LFF). It's a fundamental stance switch.
• B — Similar to 'F', this also switches you to LFF.
• u — This switches you to LFF and then immediately into a backflip (background).
• d — This switches you to LFF and then into a forward flip (foreground).
• D — This switches you to LFF and then puts you into a crouch.
• Any hop_leap — If you do a hop or leap from RFF, Hwoarang will automatically switch to LFF before performing the move. This is important to remember for certain setups.
• f~n~d~df — This is a specific sequence that switches you to LFF and then performs a crouching dash forward.
• f+4 — This switches you to RFF and immediately performs a kick. It's a quick way to start offense from a neutral stance.
