Hi guys, are you by any chance going to update the guide on your site with all the combos, key buttons and such? It's the only guide currently that lacks those and it feels naked.
This is my first fighting game and I decided to main Hwoarang, I know he's not beginer friendly but he looks really cool and has very flashy moves, thank you for this guide!
easy character in lower ranks because you can spam whatever, but it becomes really hard when your opponent starts to sidestep and know when to cut the pressure. after you get to that level you need to get more creative
@@reinardricky2598 yeah this is more what I meant, I know I'm gonna have an easy time in low ranks but learning his moveset, what each stance does and what moves transition into different stances is gonna take some time
@@mrtn___ I hope you have fun with the char like i have. been a hwoarang main since season 2 of tekken 7 and still going strong hahaha. non of the other character gives me the same satisfaction. after some time all the moves just flow normally in your brain and you only need to think how to open up your enemy
I've never really tried playing this game competitively ever since I started on Tekken 6. Now that I'm trying to get into the game this is a huge help, ty for the guide hwoarang goat keep up the amazing content!
TIP FOR EVERYONE struggling with the ender : 3+4 (motion switch) into f+3 -> 4~3 (tyaaaa!) AFTER the tornado -> dash or even RUN up as usual BUT input the motion switch 3+4 as back+3+4 you can run up as deep as you could in tekken 7 , without getting the stupid running animation or without getting the awkward step forward after you did 3+4.
@@cayde6362 S! just means spin in this case. you see different versions of this, it just means the state after your tornado move. usually in t8 people call it ( t! ) in notation , you will also encounter simply ( ! ) . it just means you did you tornado move also called tailspin / corkscrew / screw / bound, people use all different historical words for it and your opponent is still in a combo state.
Oh thank you so much! I thought the S! notation was the high kick he does! Coming from DBFZ the notations in this game is way more complex. Thanks I'm gonna lab combos like crazy
@@cayde6362 small tip for hwoarang, lets say you cannot reach the wall. You can do simply do ff+3 as a combo ender to spike him to the ground. Then you are in RFF , right foot forward position. Now do df+3 , you have a super low risk oki option. Its a homing mid and plus 1 on block. Its basically free. You will not encounter someone handling this until fujin and up. And its way easier and simpler than doing the fox step and the end of the combo (where hwoarang is armored for a biref moment when he steps and you can go in and apply oki that way) . After a tornado simply do 3+4 to switch motion into 3~4 (backlash, the armored move) and then do ff+3 into df+3 . Works wonders to keep our pressure up, if you cannot reach the wall and its easy to use
@@mmacix2084 nice haha 😂 I’m still learning man going through a Crisis main but I think Hwo is the answer I got my Jun to Garyu in the process though lol
Ive switched to hwoarang from steve (mainex steve while playjng casually with friends in tekken 6 and 7). This is the first time ive hopped on ladder in a fighting game, and Im having a blast playing hwoarang. Thank you for the guide!
8 is my first tekken since like the inroduction of steve fox. Was always a Hwoarang main. Ive got myself into vanquisher already just off training and fighting... this guide is going to take my shit to the next level 😈
Thank you so much for this detailed topic to focus more on strengthening hwoarang players in their foundation. I myself having Baek & Hwoarang mains deeply appreciate your guide. As always you are one of the best Heoarang players that I know & respect. I hope I will improve my Hwoarang strategies soon. More power to you K-Wiss! Best regards - KoreanTigers 🙇🏻♂️🥋
Even though I’m a Jin main (his rival), Hwoarang is my second favorite Tekken character because of his moves and badass personality. The fact that he can fluently swap stances with his attacks on the fly made me wanna pick him up as a secondary to this day.
I’m having mad trouble getting that timing down for the 2 4 2 3 after the 3~4 it’s like I can do the combo but not nearly fast enough to catch him in the air again
I'm unsure if you'll see this, but the text version of the guide doesn't work! For those of us that have issues hearing, I'd love to be able to use the text version.
@@fearbreazy5558 For me you can just press 2 4 2 3, this string is pretty lenient in my experience so sliding is not really needed. It will feel a lot more comfortable if you just practice casually pressing them each for the combos imo
ive played since tekken 1 and never understood when people talk about this side of tekken (frames, back 3 and all that stuff), ive just pressed buttons and learnt what they do with time, but never translated this other stuff so i can make use of it lmao. Currently Tenryu with Hwo beating Mighty Rulers but anything above that, its like playing someone playing guitar hero lol (same buttons each game) so i need to improve.
off of ws 2, 3 you can get u/f 3+4, f, u/f 3+4, f, u/f 3+4, f, left flamingo f+3 for absolutely insane wall carry (make sure you take a step forward off of the ws 2,3 otherwise the first hit of the first u/f 3+4 will whiff, the combo won't drop off of this but it does 3 damage less). The reason why ws 2, 3 doesn't really get a lot of damage is because it starts with a corkscrew/tornado/tailspin bind but with this combo you do only get 42 damage off of it however it will get you to the wall from the start of the round on most stages also because Left Flamingo f+3 can wall break you can get extensions from that. On the note of u/f 3+4, f: this is +9 on hit and -2 on block ONLY if you go into left flamingo but because u/f 3+4 is -10 on block if you don't go into left flamingo people think you're more negative than you are and will typically try to use something that is too slow allowing you to get a f 2+3 throw with the downside being that you side switch. I started training taekwondo IRL, in a way, because of Hwaorang. Or rather Hwaorang is how I first found out about Taekwondo. As a kid I loved playing soccer, I could kick the ball way further than my peers so when I decided I wanted to get into some sort of martial art I decided I wanted it to be a kick based martial art and there just so happens to be an ITF Dojang in my city (my city is rather small and rural so we don't have a ton of options) so I decided to check it out and have been training it for about 1.5 years now. Now that I know a lot more about taekwondo and fighting in general (yes I'm aware that Taekwondo is not the ideal martial art for fighting IRL before anyone points that out, that isn't why I train it) I was going through Hwaorang's move list and came across Right Flamingo d/f+4 a move called "Snap Kick" which he's had since tekken 3 a move I have used thousands of times since I started Tekken back in T6. When I realize what move this is I was like "wait a minute.... that's not a snap kick...." Hwaorang's "Snap Kick" hits with the heel in a downward motion. If you hit your opponent with your heel on a snap kick you've done something horribly wrong. I am assuming this has to have been a localization error at some point because the guy who did the motion capture for Hwaorang is a 7th degree blackbelt in ITF-Style Taekwondo so I know this is not what ITF Taekwondo would consider a snap kick in English. We would call it a downward kick, some might call it an axe kick but it certainly isn't a snap kick. Just a little fun fact.
A question. Characters move quite fast when joystick is used. Why does my ps5 doest do that? Is that to do with arcade or something else. I could see they are online players' characters fast. Is that because PC is faster than the ps5 console? The sensitivity of joystick or arcade? Thanks.
thanks for the upload i haven't bought t8 yet but i'm lookng forward to maining hwo this time i want to pick a really offensive/oppressive character this time
Played Tekken 2 at my cousins and he played Yoshimitsu. I played Hwaorang (yeah, I say it hwaaaowwwrang, didn't have internet back then. Didn't know I would be subjugating myself to learning stances from then on out.
When it comes to defense, I'm surprised you didn't mention ub+4 and d+4,4. ub+4 is a low risk low reward get off me move. d+4,4 is a high damage counter hit low launcher whith high crush properties, it's not a good move in general, but it's really amazing against opponents that just don't know when to stop spamming. And it's been buffed in T8.
@@youcefsaadat Use it only in the middle of opponent spam so they won't duck it and it's a counter hit. Also they can only duck second hit if they duck first hit which is unseeable. This is a change from Tekken 7 where you could duck second hit on reaction even if first one hit you.
Screw, which is also referred to as tornado in T8. It's when you see characters spin around in the air and land on their back with feet in the air, allowing for a combo extension.
going for backlash always in combos? why? why do 72 damage when you can do 78 instead. backlash only if you want to knock it down with heat. also didnt mention ub4 in the panic moves, not great, but it is there, and it clutched me matches :)
text guide isn’t showing up :/ kinda sucks because i like to read while im playing. its visually easier while looking at the video as opposed to just hearing you say the inputs, since im a beginner
"While standing" moves like that have to be done right as you stop crouching, in the move list I think it would show as a down/crouch followed by a star(which means neutral input on the stick) or something, followed by 4 4, but I'm not home to check for sure. It's Tsunami Kick
Ok question 🙋🏾♀️ So the 16:16 combo I can do the first part before the dash and the following strings after the dash. But during the dash, the 2,4 I need to input, keeps coming out as f2 instead. I tried remedying that part with 1, 2, 4, 2, 3, but I just barely does not connect. Looking for input 😅
You need to do neutral 2,4. So do the dash and don't press forward when you do the 2. I'm not exactly a 100% sure if i'm explaining correctly, but that's the best i can do.
@rautakarhu6233 oh yea that makes more sense. I'm pretty impatient with my buttons. Will probably drill just the dash animation for a while and then add the neutral 2. Thanks so much I didn't think someone would respond 👍🏾
So, genuine question, ive been using B3, U3, LFS 34, RFS U44, T!, dash, RFF F3, UF3+4F, UF3+4F. Im not sure i see the vision on using backlash in every combo, when i seem to be getting more damage than some of whats listed in the video. Can you help me understand why whats listed is better? Im a little lost.
Great combo thanks! I was doing b+3, f+4, RFS 3~4, 3~4, b+3 T! Dash RFF F+3 into uf+3+4f, uf+3+4 for 72 dmg but your combo is more consistent . Doing a backlash in combos looks better but it’s prone to messing up.
The best reason for going for backlash after the tornado in my opinion is because you can combo heat burst afterwards to get your heat and possibly try some ki charge setups .
@@chadbrockett2686 It refers to either Screw (S!) or Tornado (T!), which are the point in a combo where you do a move to send the opponent hurdling into a feet up position. With Hwoarang, it's what happens when you hit an opponent with a B3 or D44 when they are in the air already.
I try to improve my hwoarang playstyle thanks to ur guide, i have a very hard time with the combo, after the 2,4 2,3 string i launch the opponent to far to connect, i see guor video and ur oppennent go up and land pretty near, so i fucked up something or in just to slow with execution?
I’m trying hwoarang and my problem is everyone already knows how to play defense against him at my rank so picking him up is excruciating and making me want to pick someone else.
don’t let that discourage you. you just gotta adapt. get them mix ups stronger and keep practicing. i feel you, i barely started playing this game a couple weeks ago so everyone has like 3 months of practice on my character and the whole roster before i even have practice on my OWN skills. you got this
ive been putting off learing Hwoarang since Tekken 3.. this is it Tekken 8 is the one.. 6:14 in to this video.. maybe ill wait for Tekken 9. i wish there's a beginner guide not a move list like this. the most useful 10 to 20 even 30 moves to use.. 1 to 2 combo. 1 or 2 mix up. scenario. you're just going through the move list. :(
I see you kinda got stuck like I did doing uf 3+4 I start to just go back to some of his old combos bro. I start off now with to get a little longer wall carry with f,4 twice then do uf 3+4 after wall splat sidestep 3,3 then finish with the new move 3,2. Hope this helps somebody that struggles looking for new combos with hwoarang
Am I tripping? I'm pressing as the combo says but I can't get the double punch after the 3~4 dash Edit: I got it, comma's kinda put me off making me thing there was significant delay in between the inputs
It stands for screw - in this game it’s a tornado flip so might see T! In other places. You get 1 per combo and have time to dash in afterwards for the next move
I haven't quite finished the video but I don't think anything he does requires any special button binds, it's not like playing King where you have a bunch of 2+3 and 1+4 grabs. I would say maybe if you just personally enjoy setting a button to the 1+3 or 2+4 grabs you could do that
oh actually if you have trouble with the 1+2 or 3+4 stance changes too but I think that's just something to get used to, and it's probably better to just use other moves to get into the stances anyway
Screw, which is also referred to as tornado in T8. It's when you see characters spin around in the air and land on their back with feet in the air, allowing for a combo extension.
It means "Screw" which is the state of the opponent when they fall on the ground mid combo with their legs up and you can pick up from there to add some extra hits before you finish your combo!
Being a taekwondo practitioner there was no way I would've chosen any other character to main. Playing Hwoarang is a blast really and it actually kinda helps me in real sparrings as I incorporate some of his moves in my fighting
I wish that these guides were made for newer players to the series and maybe in fighting games in general ( like myself.) What I mean by that is yes this is definitely helpful with weeding out what’s useful and what’s not. But I think a lot of this is just breezing through and it’s kind of hard to follow if you’re still trying to get the movements and timing down. Maybe that’s just me but I thought I’d leave my little critique here, thanks for the guide!
The Hwoarang GOAT is here to share his advise, massive shout out to K-Wiss for making this guide!
Hi guys, are you by any chance going to update the guide on your site with all the combos, key buttons and such? It's the only guide currently that lacks those and it feels naked.
The text version of Hwoarang is almost blank, there is nothing to look at. Would you mind fixing that?
It’s about to be the calm before the storm while all the Hwoarang players are in training
Hwoarang in training mode? Nice joke!

So the 16:16 combo I can do the first part before the dash and the following strings after the dash. But during the dash, the 2,4 I need to input, keeps coming out as f2 instead. I tried remedying that part with 1, 2, 4, 2, 3, but I just barely does not connect.
Looking for input 😅
You need to do neutral 2,4. So do the dash and don't press forward when you do the 2. I'm not exactly a 100% sure if i'm explaining correctly, but that's the best i can do.
You also need to do the dash input very quickly.
@rautakarhu6233 oh yea that makes more sense. I'm pretty impatient with my buttons. Will probably drill just the dash animation for a while and then add the neutral 2. Thanks so much I didn't think someone would respond 👍🏾
@@cocoataku No worries. It's very rewarding when you get the hang of it! Just keep practicing and i wish you the best in your efforts.
Can you make a tutorial on how to do JFSR
Press forward. Wait for a split second. Then press forward down + 4 at the exact same time.
What is 4? I play on PS5 controller

@@RokuDaGod it’s the right foot kick. Most likely circle if you got default controls.
So, genuine question, ive been using B3, U3, LFS 34, RFS U44, T!, dash, RFF F3, UF3+4F, UF3+4F. Im not sure i see the vision on using backlash in every combo, when i seem to be getting more damage than some of whats listed in the video. Can you help me understand why whats listed is better? Im a little lost.
Great combo thanks! I was doing b+3, f+4, RFS 3~4, 3~4, b+3 T! Dash RFF F+3 into uf+3+4f, uf+3+4 for 72 dmg but your combo is more consistent .
Doing a backlash in combos looks better but it’s prone to messing up.
The best reason for going for backlash after the tornado in my opinion is because you can combo heat burst afterwards to get your heat and possibly try some ki charge setups .
What are these exclamation point things the s and the t
@@chadbrockett2686 It refers to either Screw (S!) or Tornado (T!), which are the point in a combo where you do a move to send the opponent hurdling into a feet up position. With Hwoarang, it's what happens when you hit an opponent with a B3 or D44 when they are in the air already.
I try to improve my hwoarang playstyle thanks to ur guide, i have a very hard time with the combo, after the 2,4 2,3 string i launch the opponent to far to connect, i see guor video and ur oppennent go up and land pretty near, so i fucked up something or in just to slow with execution?
idk if youre still struggling with this, but you need to do a dash after 2,4 2,3 to position 3+4 3~4 to connect
You probably need to dash closer before doing the string
@@Kurinth yeah now connect, thx man
I’m trying hwoarang and my problem is everyone already knows how to play defense against him at my rank so picking him up is excruciating and making me want to pick someone else.
don’t let that discourage you. you just gotta adapt. get them mix ups stronger and keep practicing. i feel you, i barely started playing this game a couple weeks ago so everyone has like 3 months of practice on my character and the whole roster before i even have practice on my OWN skills. you got this
ive been putting off learing Hwoarang since Tekken 3.. this is it Tekken 8 is the one.. 6:14 in to this video.. maybe ill wait for Tekken 9. i wish there's a beginner guide not a move list like this. the most useful 10 to 20 even 30 moves to use.. 1 to 2 combo. 1 or 2 mix up. scenario. you're just going through the move list. :(
I use xbox controller and i cant figure out how to use the Dpad to skyrocket to save my life
I see you kinda got stuck like I did doing uf 3+4 I start to just go back to some of his old combos bro. I start off now with to get a little longer wall carry with f,4 twice then do uf 3+4 after wall splat sidestep 3,3 then finish with the new move 3,2. Hope this helps somebody that struggles looking for new combos with hwoarang
Any eta on a feng wei guide?
How do you do his power crush kick that cpu do for you with x?
Am I tripping? I'm pressing as the combo says but I can't get the double punch after the 3~4 dash
Edit: I got it, comma's kinda put me off making me thing there was significant delay in between the inputs
How punish with a low parry? My old Tekken 7 combos doesn't work anymore hahs
what does cd3 mean
Next guide Asuka with fergus please
How do you dash mid combo
Almost nothing on left flamingo :((
15:43
He's the reason why I decided to buy this Tekken 8 game 😂
In the combos what does S! mean?
It stands for screw - in this game it’s a tornado flip so might see T! In other places.
You get 1 per combo and have time to dash in afterwards for the next move
@@Danny_285 ty
i have a ? anyone can answer after you do JFSR Backlash how do you get the F4 to connect
Yes I really need help
While they’re in the air you can hold forward until they get to the right height then hit 4 while still holding forward to get the F4 to connect :)
Hello, do you use joystick or pad?
He is using PS5 pad.
NGL I always loved fighting games, But I never understood the fighter lingo, so the numbers I don’t know which is which.
@@ZakMon1 ok cool appreciate it.
Positive frame advantage means you have the advantage right? So negative is bad for you. I believe this is correct, but just want to double check.
does anyone know the best button binds for controller for hwoarang since k wiss doesn’t show his
I haven't quite finished the video but I don't think anything he does requires any special button binds, it's not like playing King where you have a bunch of 2+3 and 1+4 grabs. I would say maybe if you just personally enjoy setting a button to the 1+3 or 2+4 grabs you could do that
oh actually if you have trouble with the 1+2 or 3+4 stance changes too but I think that's just something to get used to, and it's probably better to just use other moves to get into the stances anyway
Tekken just have so many moves that you can't use it all or just never use it. And those are the moves that matters the most.
Anyone stuggling with the first combo i just stop after 3+4 and dash bu3. Does the same dmg
My problem is execution and timing
Any tips
Buffer window seems to be smaller in T8, so you might want to be a bit more patient with your inputs and do them later than you normally would.
What does S! Mean?
Screw, which is also referred to as tornado in T8. It's when you see characters spin around in the air and land on their back with feet in the air, allowing for a combo extension.
Thanks! Super helpful. So how do I execute that move lol?@@DashFight
I can't figure out the timing to loop uf 3+4
Hold forward as you land
Thank you
@@TheSuperiorGarbagehow I can't figure it out either
What is "S!"?
Atleast hwo has a new launching ws 15 punish what about xiaoyu 😢
Hopkick ?
@@Evilj82 hopkick is i16
What is rff?
Right foot forward
what is S! in combo
it stands for screw attack in a combo
"What does 'S！' mean in combo notation?"
It means "Screw" which is the state of the opponent when they fall on the ground mid combo with their legs up and you can pick up from there to add some extra hits before you finish your combo!
Being a taekwondo practitioner there was no way I would've chosen any other character to main. Playing Hwoarang is a blast really and it actually kinda helps me in real sparrings as I incorporate some of his moves in my fighting
I wish that these guides were made for newer players to the series and maybe in fighting games in general ( like myself.)
What I mean by that is yes this is definitely helpful with weeding out what’s useful and what’s not. But I think a lot of this is just breezing through and it’s kind of hard to follow if you’re still trying to get the movements and timing down. Maybe that’s just me but I thought I’d leave my little critique here, thanks for the guide!
