Learn advanced Tekken 3 strategies including poking, pit bull tactics, and turtling. Understand character control and opponent mind games for victory.

This section delves into advanced tactics and character control in Tekken 3. True mastery involves understanding both your character's moves and how to manipulate your opponent's choices.

Tactics:

Poking: Using fast, low-damage attacks to interrupt opponent's moves. At high levels, this entices mistakes for high-damage counterattacks (e.g., df+2).

Pit Bull: An aggressive style of constant attacking, relentlessly pressuring the opponent.

Turtle: A defensive strategy focused on waiting for the opponent to leave an opening before attacking.

This section details a character's movelist, including special position attacks (e.g., 1p bt, grounded). Each move is described with its input, attack type (on guard, connect, etc.), range, damage, and effects on players. Strings can often be ended early for different properties.

Multi-Choice String Diagrams:
