How do you counter Hwoarang constant attacks?

[Froz7y]

At the end of every mix up attacks that has no delay, yields high damage. If you attack him, he has armor launch. He has super punish, his launchers are instantaneous. I seldom meet a Hwoarang player, i have no chance to learn how to counter his attacks, but its difficult to find a time gap where i can jab couch avoid his attacks, its relentless. Im using Gigas and all my attacks are sluggish.

Downjab is a very good tool against Hwo, it high crushes instantly, and most of his attacks are high or mid, so you can interrupt almost everything he does up-close with a downjab.

Also Gigas power crush might be something you can use too, absorb some hits then punish him.

u sure are good with this guy very well as u use jabs.....actual rang fighters like u can be very dangerous & I love to play against them as they really dont give a dame to power crush BUT I hate those button mashers who constantly keep kicking the same thing -_-

Spam Alisa
Put LK+RK in one button (I use L2), then press backward (depending on your controller position).
Your Alisa will fly and devour that baby Hwoarang.

Are you seriously so bored that you went back 100 pages just to comment on a guy having trouble against hwoarang in the game's launch?

One can forgive him anything for recommending Alisa.

Else, you can use Miguel for sure. Backward+O to repel Hwoarang's kick. Make sure his health is above half, then you can finish with your Rage Art.

Any other recommended heroes:
Kuma, Panda, Katarina.

Also be mindful of his D3,4 which is a “low, high hit confirm” which can be done on either stance. It’s an infamous move that Hwo has and it chains into his next 4 options. Which is a low, mid, and high. At that point it’s just best to duck because he can do a “low D4,3 hellsweep”, or a “high 2 jab” which is +6 on block. Ducking will beat both options.

Honestly though... you have to keep your distance and stick to “2 range”. You have to keep him out or he will lock you in his everending combos.

Midnight... polite, no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, respectful... how times have changed. Men become bitter as the years go by.

Not everyone though.

Some people just have salt as a coping mechanism. On one side it works I guess but it always seems pretty strange to see someone to be salty about a videogame. Especially Tekken.
Tekken is like an oasis of peace in comparison to many other games where RNG can send you into hell.

I really wouldn't mind some RNG here. People catching you airborne can pull of the same stunts regardless of whatever your position is at the time.

You may have just performed a small jump forward, you may have performed a move that hurls your char from afar, you may be falling from an even higher position after impact. Doesn't matter. Chars and their attacks are designed to literally suck you in, correct your position to their will and give you a combo fest. There are so few scenarios where this won't happen. Not being combo-able from certain perspectives wouldn't be so bad.

I guess only hell trash like Eddie is exempt from this.

RNG would make this game 100% button mashing. You sure you want that? No consistency?
It would also make it near impossible to ever counter attack because you have no idea what your frames are going to be if they are modified by RNG.

[in memoriam of Sharky]

Low jab than don't let them start their ♥♥♥♥ again. Poke them to death.

But from range don't charge at them mindlessly but bait out their armor move than punish it.

At round start and when he starts his ♥♥♥♥ expect the lows so don't mash highs else you will eat full combos a lot .

This is everything you need to know to beat most of the Hwoarang players because the majority of them have no idea what to do when defending. (at least this is my experience) :D
