Tormentor has a lot of powerful buttons and strings at his disposal; Charged Punch is perhaps one of the best hard knockdown moves in the game. However, his biggest downfall is his lack of safe combo strings that lead to his money moves like Charged Uppercut. If Tormentor wants to bag a ton of damage from a juggle, he has to give his opponent several opportunities to counter out of his strings.

That said, Tormentor is a great character for playing the spacing game. Strings like Square (High counterable)TK-input-comma.pngSquareTK-input-comma.pngForwardTK-input-comma.pngSquareTK-input-comma.pngTriangleTK-input-comma.pngQuarter CircleTK-input-comma.pngSquare make amazing r-cancel dash-in punishes, and by keeping Triangle held down during the string and releasing it afterwards charges heat after creating space. His grabs are also excellent, and strings like Cross (High counterable)TK-input-comma.pngBackTK-input-comma.pngForwardTK-input-comma.pngCircle (Low counterable)TK-input-comma.pngCrossTK-input-comma.pngCircleTK-input-comma.pngCrossTK-input-comma.pngCrossPlusCircle (Low counterable) deal good damage against crouched and grounded players.

At a glance:
Pros Cons
  • Lots of good Mid and Low attacks to punish crouching players.
  • Useful safe hard knockdown strings. Charged Punch is one of the best hard knockdown moves in the game.
  • Neck Slice (CrossPlusSquare) stuns and leads to a free juggle.
  • Great low/OTG strings to season combos with.
  • Very tall hitbox - some characters can do Tormentor-specific wall juggle strings for more damage.
  • No way to safely string into a launcher from a normal.
  • Chain Heater is gimmicky, and usually doesn't offer a reward worth the effort.
