Master Raven's moveset in Tekken Tag Tournament 2! This guide breaks down his throws, attacks, and special moves like Shadow Sprint and Labyrinth for beginners.

Hey there! So you're looking to get a handle on Raven's moves in Tekken Tag Tournament 2? Awesome choice! He's a super cool character with a lot of flashy, effective moves. Let's break them down so you can start pulling them off. First up, we have his Throws. These are your go-to when you want to guarantee some damage, especially if your opponent is blocking too much. You've got your standard front throws like Grave Digger (1+3 or f+1+3) and Salamander (2+4 or f+2+4), both dealing 35 damage. Then there are side throws like Neck Ringer (Left, 1+3 or 2+4) and Swift Assassin (Right, 1+3 or 2+4), which hit a bit harder at 40 damage. Don't forget his back throw, Dark Matter (Back, 1+3 or 2+4), for a hefty 50 damage! He also has some unique ones like Orbiting Moon (d/f+1+4) for 38 damage, and the super cool Undertaker (f, d/f, d, d/b, b, f+1+2) for 48 damage. Be careful with Ultimate Tackle (d/b+1+2); it only does 5 damage but can lead into Ultimate Punch (During Tackle 2, 1, 2, 1) for another 30. Raven also has some slick parries: Utsusemi Escape (b+1+3 or b+2+4) when you synchro with an attack, and Sixth Sense (Back to opponent, synchro, f+1+2) for 30 damage. Now for his Attacks. This is where Raven really shines. You've got basic strings like Left Right Combo (1, 2) for 7 and 12 damage, and Right Straight to Left Low Kick (2, 3) for 10 and 10. The PK Combo (2, 4) is a nice high-high string for 10 and 17 damage. For some multi-hit fun, try Valkyrie Lance Combo (3, 3, 4) which hits high three times for 12, 10, and 20 damage. Brocken Connect (4, 1) is a solid 17, 10 damage high-high. Raven has some cool stances too. Chariot (hold [3~4]) and Hydra Bite (hold [4~3]) are both mid-mid strings. You can extend Hydra Bite into low, high, or mid follow-ups with '1', '3', or '4' respectively. Crusader (1+2) is a good mid attack for 25 damage. Raven also has a unique stance called Haze (3+4). From here, you have a ton of options! Fatal Elbow (During Haze 1) is a mid attack for 18 damage. If that hits, you can follow up with Fatal Blow to Doppelganger (f) or Fatal Blow to Haze (3+4). Death from Above (During Haze 2) is a powerful (!) attack for 35 damage. Aqua Spider (During Haze 3) is a low attack, and Blind Ghost (During Haze 4) is a mid. Crossing Paths (During Haze 1+2) does 20 damage, and Alter Ego (During Haze 3+4) is a low-high combo for 10, 20 damage. Don't forget his Ki Charge (1+2+3+4) to boost your damage! Other useful moves include Tartaros (f+2, 3) for 12, 15 damage, Circling Winds (f+3, 2) for 18, 21 damage, and Lance Kick (f+4) for a high 30 damage. Switchback (f+1+2) is a solid mid for 25.

You can follow up with different kicks and punches, like Chakram Shadow (f+4, 3) for 20, 22 damage or Spinning Chakram (3+4) for 20, 15 damage. In his low-hitting options, Body Blow (d/f+1) is a mid for 15 damage. Meat Hook (d/f+2, 3) is a mid-high combo for 16, 25 damage, while Bolt Stunner (d/f+2, 4) is a mid-mid for 16, 20. Shadow Snap Kick (d/f+3) is a high attack for 21 damage. Pendulum Kick (d/f+4, 4) is a mid-mid string, and you can extend it with Pendulum Shadow (3) for a mid-mid-mid. Shuriken Kick (d/f+3+4) is a mid for 26 damage. For low attacks, you have Low Kick (d+3) for 12 damage and Basilisk Fang (d+4) for 18. Summon Force (d+1+2) is a unique move that doesn't do damage but can lead into the devastating Dead End (d+1+2, d, d/b, b, u/b, u, u/f, f+1+2) for a massive 51 damage! Raven also has Assassin's Sting (d/b+2) for 13 damage, which can be followed up. Killer Bee (d/b+3) and Shinobi Cyclone (d/b+4) are both low attacks for 18 and 21 damage respectively.
