Tekken 6 - Steve Fox

[Running Wild]

So I noticed there isn't a thread for Stevie Boy yet.

How about it?

Anyone got any tips, strategies or combo's for Steve? I could really use some advice for Steve vs Eddy/Christie, this match-up is giving me alot of trouble.

- dck1, df121~b, FLK2, B!, f21~b, dck1_flk1,alb2
- dck1, df121~b, dck ws12, B!, f21~b, dck1
- dck1, df121, f21~b, dck ws12, B!, dash SF
- dck1, df121, f21~b, dck1_dckf2 (for wall carry with B! saved up, dckf2 is the stronger option)
- dck1, b1~b, dck ws1, f21~b, dck ws12, B!, dash SF
- dck1, b1~b, flk1, f21~b, dck ws12, B!, dash SF
- ext dck1, 41~f, PAB df1<121, B!, uf32
- ext dck1, ~ (everything above works with ext dck1 as well)
- ext dck1, PAB df1121, B!, (2)1~b, flk1, alb2 *(enter PAB manually with f3+4)
- ext dck1, PAB df1121, B!, dash, b1~b, flk1, alb2
- ext dck1, dash d/f+1,2,1, f+2,1~b, dck ws+1,2 B! dash SF

* Personally I suggest doing the ext dck1, b1~b, flk1, f21~b, dck ws12, B!, dash SF combo since it does the most dmg and ain't too hard.

CH df2
- ff2, B!, f21, f21~b, flk1, alb2
- ff+2 B! dck 1, d/f+1,2,1~b, dck 1_flk 1, alb 2

uf2_PAB uf2_CH ws2
- 21~f, PAB df1121, B!, f21~b, dck1
- df121, f21~b, dck ws12, B!, dash SF
- df121~b, flk1, f21~b, dck ws12, B!, dash SF
- b1~b, flk1, f21~b, dck ws12, B!, dash SF ^(Iirc b1 hits now after uf2 as well. Other two launchers it's for sure)
- b1~b, flk1, d121, ff2, B!, f21~b, dck1 ^
- b1~b, flk1, df121~b, dck ws12, B!, dash SF

* Just use the df121~b, flk1, f21~b, dck ws12, B!, dash SF as the main staple. Iirc it's the best dmg and pretty consistent/easy once you get it down.

Whats ext mean? I don't see it listed.

Dammit, I'll never learn Tekken at this rate.

EXT basically means Extended, and EXT DCK means Extended Ducking.
