Heihachi Mishima

One of the original Tekken character from the first Tekken (1994) and main character of the series, Heihachi is the grandfather of Tekken and everything Mishima. Still styling the same hair style from the first installment, Heihachi is the original "King of Iron Fist", Leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu, and has been a ending boss character in some previous installments. As mentioned, Heihachi is categorized as a Mishima character due to having a flash punch (1,1,2), a wavedash, and an EWGF (Electric Wind God Fist). He is a high execution character, often relying on electrics for his whiff and some block punishes. He is described as a rushdown character due to the array of powerful mid options and counter hit opportunities that he can create.

Key Moves

1. One on his best poking tools that has 2 extensions that keeps the opponent in check. One being good for more pressure and the other being good at the wall for its wallsplat properties and being able to hit confirm the second hit.

2. A safe move that is used to fish for counter hit, which leads to a combo. It can also be used to wallsplat.

3. A heavy low that is used to add low pressure to your offense and is very plus on hit, but is launch punishable on block.

4. A good overhead kick that provides a combo on hit and can be used in to catch a crouching opponent.

5. A very powerful tool much like f,F+3 but faster and deadlier, it's a great tool to apply heavy pressure to the opponent. If it hits a crouching opponent, d/f+1,2 is guaranteed. If hit near a wall, the d/f+1,2 will wallsplat the opponent.

6. Like every Mishima, Heihachi comes with his very own electric. Unlike most Mishimas, Heihachi does have access to a hopkick but his electric is what will do most of the launching on block and whiff; making it crucial to be able to throw electrics out at will.
