I'm just getting into Tekken 8 after a bit of experience in SF and I decided to go with Zafina but just didn't know where to start until now. Great vid, appreciated!
Very nice Zafina quick guide. Even as a Zafina main I always have some details to learn and improve. To be honnest I'm quite confused that she lost some of her T7 key moves. Her B 1+2, one of the best low poke in the game is now SCR locked unfortunately. She also have less moves in MTS, she lost her 3,4,4 and her 3,4,d4. Her wr 1+2 is now replacing her uf1+2 that is good but I would have like to keep both. I know that she is very powerful in heat but I may take some time to fully get used 😋. I hope you will make a longer and more detailed and longer guide later. Thanks for sharing 👍 👍 👍
Nice guide, here’s a few other things I really like. F1+2 is a safe heat engager with big range that does lots of block damage in heat. Df4,1 is a 14 frame punish heat engager. Her heat smash although touched upon I can’t stress enough how good this move is, a 51 damage 12 frame punish that is also safe with a lot of block damage. In heat, TRT and MNT df1 both have armor, with MNT df1 being a good move anyway (it’s +6 on block I think). Zafina has one of the better heat modes in the game because of the high block damage/armor on azazel moves without self damage. Try to save your heat smash/heat rush until your heat gauge is nearly empty to get the most use of it.
hello, you seem knowledgable. i played her in tekken 7 as a side char and never went in deep. whats your opinion on 2,1 and 2,2 has safe high , mid strings, i never used them at all, i noticed that 2,2 is not natural , is not interuptable ( i think) BUT has 1+2 as a followup, that is guaranteed on CH if not delayed.
@@finnT_Tekken 2,1 is ok actually but the extension is a seeable gimmick. 2,2 is pretty useless and I’m fairly sure you can step the extension. I dunno I never use it
Are you able to block during mantis stance? I just read that you can but would have to confirm. If so, then it’s better if you go into mantis since it’s -13 on block rather than -15 which is launch punishable.
Since every man and his dog is going to say "Mura, please do a guide on (insert my main here)", rather than requesting that, could you please do a guide on Tekken fundamentals? I need them badly!
Can you block during Mantis stance? If so, then damn. I would have to transition d3 to MNT then. My mixup there after d 3 was either wc df 3 or ws 1 2 but my problem was if d3 gets blocked it was -15
Just out of curiosity, as someone new to this game, I’m wondering about your key assignments. It’s non traditional. Usually, the first four buttons are used, with left and right punches up top and left and right kicks below, respectively. Is that how the arcades were for you? It’s interesting. And this is a great beginner guide! I hope you make the second chapter for Zafina 🥊🥊 All the best 👊
Just remember that tekken is about natural talent. It's imposible to improve beyond your limit. You are destined only to reach a certain level. U cannot improve beyond that.
@@TheSilverCrono OK, even though Arslan Ash and other professional players said she's bad. Trash like you would never become good enough at Tekken to speak on it.
"D3 on block isn't that bad, you're only minus 13. So you're not launch punishable"
Kazuya: Am I joke to you?
Appreciate the quick guide, always thought Zafina was a cool underrepresented character.

Thanks for this guide, I picked up Tekken 8 only recently and I really like Zafina as a character. This guide has been a big help!
as beginner on versus fighting thanks for guide of zafina ! I really want to try her ! I got my coffee ready btw ;) 11:48
Great guide! Decided to branch out from playing King and found this very helpful.
Nice, ive wanted to try zafina as a secondary but was never really sure where to start with her. This should be a great help.

Also her MNT 4d to TRT is scarily evasive.
TRT 3 on hit usually gives a confirmed TRT df1
Hey! For the d3 CH combo, you don't have to always go into mantis. You can also combo with WS3, SCR4, F2-3-4 or some other ender
yes you can even do a uf1 or a df1 before F234

Спасибо , Мура сенсей!
This was a great guide as always mura! Thank you!
Will you do a video of her staple combos?
Maybe i can write em down but i feel like there are so many combo vids out there for her rn
@@MCMuraFGCdo one with notation, none of them have notations from what I’ve seen
very helpful, thanks
We love creepy goth women
We do xD

You can block in Mantis
Great guide. 5:05 uf1 is 1 frame faster and gives same advantage on block with easier input.
UF1 is a high though. So for pressure purposes especially on oki, i perfer FF3.
UF1 is amazing for combos too
@@MCMuraFGC although its a high, its an amazing option for conditioning someone to duck imo
I believe it is +4 on block, honestly, that’s a guaranteed Df3. I try to incorporate these moves into my play

I am just using a regular PlayStation pad, i got the default conf with L1 being tied to the heat smash (2+3) and the R1 button being (1+2)
@@MCMuraFGClol oh okay. I thought you were using an arcade stick. Thanks!
Yeah more tekken baby
Bruh what do you press for the low heat burst, I’m doing the low but the follow up isn’t coming out
If Zafina is in scarecrow stance while in heat, just press the heat smash button.
Hi Mc Mura, thanks for this excellent video. Really appreciated. What is your taught on Zafina in Tekken 8 ?
Seems ok but i think maybe too reliant on heat
you put zafina on the map with this one. will pick her up
My main isn't in tekken 8 so I thought it be interesting to main her atm
Can you do for kazyua pls
We need Mrs. Mura to rate character designs.
How about you blend in your combos.
not 2,3 , its 1,3 to scarecrow. you hava a mistake
The heat engager ? Its 2,3
They are talking about her 1,3 that is her 10f punish that goes into scarecrow which you can cancel by holding back.
@@LoneTaurus82 ah ok, its 1,3
Adjusted the time stamp thank you
@@MCMuraFGC no problem :)

Is this a troll comment
The best strategy for Zafina in Tekken 8 is to pick a different character. Zafina was gutted to the point she’s an unplayable joke character.
Get better scrub
