Heihachi

Ideal Team Position: Anchor

The original King of Iron Fists has everything he needs to decimate almost anyone put in front of him...at least on paper. He has comboable overheads that can blow through high attacks, a comboable command low that can used to hit opponents meaty on wakeup, a quick standing low that can be comboed into a full combo, a plethora of conventional and unconventional anti- airs, strong air normals, and several excellent reversals including his EX Rising Uppercut (AKA Wind Godfist), EX Dragon Uppercut, and even his Raijin Stance parries. So...what has taken him so long to be looked at as a competitive threat? The answer lies in his mobility. Like most other mixup-based characters, his mobility is quite poor with one of the worst walkspeeds in the entire game. Not only does he have trouble against zoners, but his own set of neutral buttons make it difficult for him to fire back at opponents who have superior normals to space him out. If Heihachi wants to get in, he often has to commit to his offense in ways that can make him vulnerable to a good read, and if Heihachi can’t get in the opponent’s face, he has great difficulty being effective. But if he can get in, namely if he is partnered with a point character adept as tagging in their partner and moving into position, Heihachi is more than capable of getting a win for his team as he proved at EVO 2017 with Bison as his ally.

Strengths

Weaknesses

+Excellent high-low game thanks to an overhead that is safe on block and crushes highs, and two standing lows that deal further safe pressure with one them capable of hitting an opponent meaty on wakeup.

+multiple reliable anti-air and air-to-air options, all of which can lead to combos

+Several safe block-strings to confirm continued pressure or combos

+Strong tag synergy with many characters

+His best reversal, EX Dragon Uppercut, is only -4 on landing if you executed the second hit on block, and leads to a full combo if tag cancelled upon hit.

+Rising Uppercut is invincible against all but low attacks on startup

+Successful parries can lead to either a tag cancel or a free tag-in

-Abysmal walkspeed

-Vulnerable to whiffs as many of his moves, while safe on block, have long recovery

-Almost all of his normals are stubby and not ideal for footsies, necessitating very close combat to be effective

-Cannot clear large gaps of distance effectively without meter, and all EX advancing moves have long recovery

-Head of the Mishima Zaibatsu or former head. Heihachi Mishima is the father of Kazuya and Grandfather of Jin and possibly Lars. He is an insanely powerful man whose harsh raising of Kazuya would change the latter into the anti-hero/antagonist he is today. He created the King of The Iron Fist tournament to seek out powerful challengers and is accompanied by his bear Kuma.

-Heihachi plays like Makoto with enhanced strengths and weakenesses. Slow walkspeed but fast forward dash, although not a Makoto level forward dash. He lacks a command grab but has plentiful normals and strings to confuse the opponent and {{counter}} them. He also has a {{counter}} move. His j.HK is regarded as one of if not the best jump in move in the move. It crosses up and can be very ambiguous. A variety of {{high}} and {{low}} normals combined with his special normals create a very deadly offensive game in the close range. However, he struggles to close gaps between him and the opponent and can be lamed out. He has multiple moves that avoid projectiles but do not travel far. He is better as an anchor and must remain close to the opponent to be effective. His damage is outstanding however with multiple hard hitting normals that lead to {{high}} damage bread and butter combos.}}
