Best tutorial so far but she honestly still needs another buff because her damage output sorta sucks and her some of her attacks are so slow you have to play a certain way by mostly going for Lows in her stance Else you’ll just end up in counter frame trap by basically the whole roster...which honestly sucks
Zafina is held back by the Azazel gimmick. Those moves are generally awful outside of Heat. Only MNT d/f+1 and TRT d/f+1 are positive. Other Azazel moves mere combo enders at best since doing self harm to give up one’s turn would be idiotic. She also needs some of the moves and stance transitions from T7 returned to her. Many of her stance moves are combo video punishable on block and have no mix-up.
@@fuman7057 I agree especially on her need of removed stance transitions. Have no idea why they removed so many. Her TRT 3 into MNT is the mostly glaring one removed considering they they gave her a transition from MNT into TRT in S4 of T7. Her MNT d1,4 should also have back its manual transition into MNT as well since that move is no longer a combo filler.
@@dj8ball1993nmsthank you!!!! I feel the same way but I honestly feel like they justify it because her butt/mid back is somewhat in the air. I really hate I had to say that sentence with this video in stance😂😅😂
Excellent intro guide and overview of Zafina! You covered many things most guides like this would've overlooked about her. I couldnt help but chuckle at bit at that mod you are using for her although I can't blame you for using it 😊. I been maining her since she came into T7. I even learned a few things as you refreshed me some. B2 is def a good way to get use out of her 1,4 buff. It's now a good reason to go for it more now than before.Even on normal hit you can get it in. Also after her TRT d1+2 she can get a free followup with MNT d4 and apply further pressure with MNT df1.
I love Zafina. Recently, I got her to Fujin rank after Xiaoyu. I think Zafina needs a dragon tail spin attack to extend her combos (Like Nina's DB2). I think many of her moves and tornado attacks are actually useless in combos. She also needs more strings that will fully connect on counter hit. her DF 1 2 1 should i think, for example. Last, i think she needs small combos after knocking the opponent down. Like F4, she gets a solid knockdown. You can get DB 4 2 after but they land in such an awkard position, the tornado move doesnt work.
I usually use d3 or b3 rather than db4 in the case I get the f4 knockdown, but I totally agree, getting the knockdown should lead into something a bit more meaty.
Her claw moves becoming armor is neat on paper, but because they consume so much heat and deal no extra damage in heat. You'll run out of heat doing optimal combos when heat is active. How many times you actually use her claw moves in heat as a powecrush? It's an oversight in my eyes
Zafina is fun, but still bad relative to much of the cast. Her damage output without Azazel moves is poor, her frame data sucks, her Heat is among the worst, and her punishment is horrible besides her i10 (lol, T7 Gigas). At least she’s no longer locked in the cellar with Claudio, Panda, Raven, and Steve.
Enjoy this introductory guide on how to play Zafina in TEKKEN 8! She's a really fun character to play, so I hope this helps.
Thanks for the guide, that bbl mod had me in tears 🤣
Bro people just cant leave well enough alone with the mods lmao
Ong can’t even watch character guides safely😂
why has no one talked about that bbl ass mod 😭😭😭😭
i thought i was the only one who noticed 😭
IKKKKK
Had me looking for the outfit on console😭
@@thickmarmar22💀💀💀😂
Ok bc i just picked this guide to learn and i couldn’t go further without checking if i was just hallucinating
If you land the parry b1+3 (or b2+4, same move) you get a guaranteed b3. it's like a full combo worth of damage

Yeah it'll be interesting to see what they do with her moves going forward in T8. Fingers crossed for more buffs
I just want them to make her TRT stance as if she is grounded. How tf do orbitals and most RA's hit her if she's straight lying down?

Honestly you make the best character guides ❤
GYATTTTT
13:18 you made an error during mantis you put 3,1 3,4 when it's actually 3,1 4,3. other than that good video
Thanks for this video.
Zafina is my favorite female Tekken 8 character.

Excellent video! I'm glad you explained what stances Zafina can block in
Appreciate the guide
Thanks for the guide
Great guide!
I wish her Unblockable and rage art was a little faster it's laughably so Slow
Nice guide, but.. why is my browser in incognito mode ? xD
good stuff
You forgot mantis 1+2 is like scr 4
"Dad.. what does BBB stand for?"
She is a more enjoyable character to watch in 2P than in 1P thanks to her unique voluptuous pelvic movements :)

Damage output should be higher for sure
@@PirateKingFla Nah, other chars should be nerfed in dmg department instead.

Damn how bad you have to be to actually play zafina
She's insanely weak, I think you just have a skill issue
