Tekken 8 Shaheen move list and sample combos || pre-release version 

Those damage nerfs look terrible. Sorry for you.

@@jevonsw1 I'll make it work. I made it work in 7.

​@@FableKnightYT we few Shaheen mains must stick together. We happy with our bland boi. Kinda sad about b2 damage nerf, was a good CH button vs mashers.

You're not the only one friend.

​@@jevonsw1on the bright side they did not come after his key moves again like in seaaon 2, they made him almost close to gigas.

such a joke. Harada can’t think of better rage art than this.

Thats ridiculous...

All three of you are a joke, and get over yourself?

It's basically a less animated version of Rashid's level 3 super.....

​@@KINGinaMOOOharada didn't make it lol, he's not the game director and doesn't do anything gameplay related

Same thought process I had with Steve who's just a boxer lol

that FC 4,1 looks almost natural though. If it is, thats a pretty neat change

@@Sevron I think it's main function will be as a transition into Stealth Step from FC because if it was a natural string it would make his slide pretty redundant. Shaheen didn't have any moves that let him go into Stealth Step from FC in Tekken 7, but now you can transition from the first hit of ws3 and FC d/f4, which I'm thinking is gonna let him have a lot safer options that still allow him to put on pressure without giving up his turn.

@@Sevron After playing him a little it seems to be a duck punish and with cancels can be looped into mids for more crouch dash snk cancel shenanigans. uf2,df (cancel) and ss2 leaves you crouched for slide (which can be buffered in air) or full crouch df4,snk,df1,2 (lots of choices here). If you condition them to block low or low parry iws2 (mid) is his strongest natural launcher. Something else he has a back turned setup with f2,4,4 which if done on airborn causes facedown head towards, you can catch back roll, and stand with df4,1,snkc, then 2,3,snkc,iws 3,3 is guaranteed if you are fast enough but full crouch df4,1 is easier. 1,2,4 as a combo ender to push to wall is viable as it leaves them high enough for ws,3,3 which resplats into df4,1,3 or if you are in heat df3+4,2+3 for his low heat smash will break even hard walls.

tbh i preferred his parry in t7, i know in t8 the dmg is guaranteed now but in t7 he had a mix up between the follow up 1 extension and f2 3. compared to just 15dmg here, liked the 1 and f23 options

@@Violate1k 😂 he had no such mix… skilled players aren’t going for that bs

it was a mix lol if you held db you will get hit with the 1 extension and if they turned around standing f2 3 would hit, stop speaking on what you dont know @@You_Rage_Quit

Really good for a slide mixup from crouch. Has very good range too

what are the other new animations i only recognised df2?

Shaheen came first, so it should be the other way around.

@zp8377 I think the joke is that he's seen as an inferior Rashid, _despite_ coming first.

So good? It has no plus frames after hit?

⁠@@David-ws6dolow doesn’t need plus frames after hit to b good. It’s 20 frames which is fast also looks like a high crush. Leaving him in crouch at close range which opens up his slide mix ups. His ws 1 is really good in that situation as well

His ff3 was nerfed, gives instant tornado now. It used to be a full launcher.

@@derrickbunch1142The new low is lock in by sidestep. That makes it predictable. It’s a decent low, but not so good. The key word is so. That was my point. Hopefully the new low is less than -14 frames on block, in order for it to be considered as a real decent low. Ws 1 won’t counter-hit no decent player. It is 14 frames. The new low leaves both players in crouch on neutral. Most decent players , if they decide to mash. It will be a dick jab or a ws 4. Both will beat Shaheen’s ws 1

@@user-gj6ey5xv3d u don’t have to side step and do the low u can side step and do another option. If they do a dick jab and u were sliding instead of doing ws1 you’ll get a low parry. If the opponent is always down jabbing after u can sidestep launch. U have options to beat it. U have to set up the ws. It’s not a brain dead forced mix up but it’s still good creating Situations u can capitalize on. I was using d 3 into ws 1 in tekken7 which was neg 14 and neg 1 on hit that leaves u in crouch. I would use ws 1 after to catch stepping or a slower move coming out. I hit this ws 1 on top level players. Actually took the strat from lowhigh lol. To say it doesn’t work on good players is simply not true.

Insightful commentary as always, KingJae

This is actually way much better than t7, what more do you want?

He is extremely good now

You kids don’t even know what you’re talking about. You kids don’t even know who are basic or not. Just some bs stuff you’re saying at a character you don’t like.

Yes, T8 music is a blast! Check Level Up Your Game's video for music preview: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ji23k-U9Z2E.html

seems like it. I was hoping it's just ws,u+2 so you can use it during combos

Like why

@@kingswarthy for his slide mixup

Maybe Harada probably gonna reviving Tekken X Street Fighter project. That explains why everyone have meters in T8 now.

A lot of people are talking a lot now, like Steve, Paul and Law. He joins their team.

​@@awshuraish2006 Yeah, but they only say a single word when they talk (outside of Rage Arts). Shaheen is taking it further by not only talking more often than them but also the total number of words used.

Don't get it what makes him a joke character?

@@Akalis87 Probably because of how over-the-top his Rage Art is, which...doesn't make him a joke character by any stretch. Joke would have to be basically the likes of Street Fighter's Dan, and Tekken only really had that in the form of Dr. Bosconovitch.

There are beaches in uae..

More like sandboarding...

Yea we have a sand hill surfing in Saudi Arabia

Because he's slides on people. Duh

They reportedly take away recoverable HP.

only on counterhit

A lot of the new voices are worse. Namely: Shaheen, Jin, Bryan, Leo, etc. The only ones I can think of that sound better off the top of my head are Asuka, Kazuya, Jun, King, and Raven.

​@@Wizard_Lizard_Jin's voice is better in the context of his personality change, from calm and cold to aggressive and passionate

​​​​@@Wizard_Lizard_ bryan already grow on me, still prefer t7 voice tho. Glad to see someone who doesnt like bryan new voice, i thought im going crazy when no one talk about it

Most of the new voicea characters are bad, Zafina new voice doesn't fit her character, Only Lili voice sound good😅🤔

​@@proudtobeadisliker9374 I want his Tekken 5 voice back.

wait what move are you talking about

​@@zoom_iodb3,4 is natural on normal hit

@@yarinice1 oh WHAT THATS CRAZY

true but i think it’s because it removes recoverable damage

@@zoom_io I thought it was because it didn't have to be a counter hit anymore

@@PublicStqticVoid that could be another reason tbf

Bc they need to check the diversity box but are too lazy to make a better middle eastern character

⁠@@joesizzle10there's zafina already yet they forgot about the diversity part coz she's still speaking english not arabic

Maybe Namco was afraid to try something new like giving him a knife.

I didn’t see anything wrong. Everything is a little more over the top now.

@@killclair4594 "I didn’t see anything wrong" thats the problem, Shaheen was one of the most basic, boring and bland characters in tekken history, this was Namco chance to revamp the guy but he is still the same old boring basic bland guy.

I play him because he is basic. if I want unearned wins I would just play the busted characters@@cosmedcarton

Can you all stop with that lazy comparison, Shaheen has been sliding on opponents before Rashid was ever known, and nothing here is out of character.

Unless they gave Shaheen phenomenal frame data, he’ll likely be doo-doo in T8. He was already power crept to being arguably a Bottom 5 character after Season 3 of T7 and they did almost nothing for him here.

Idk who at Bamco thought it was a good idea to bring back Shaheen in T8 but they seriously should've done _something_ to make him at least somewhat tolerable but no, they gave me more of a reason to hate him even more than Lucky Chloe

yes lets return marduk instead of a honest character like Shaheen. Marduk with this tackle and 100 hp damage combo mixups or kuni with movement like an alien just like zafina or bob the most ugly character in Tekken very boring to play against as well.

@ArbiterLiquid I said any character other than him, would you have preferred if I said Miguel or Armor King. The point still stands, those are way better characters, more fun, honest and with a much bigger player base. Shaheen was garbage in Tekken 7 and is still garbage in Tekken 8, I wouldn't mind if they had reworked him for T8 but they didn't, he may even be worse now with that voice. There were definetly better picks.

​@pizzaconbacon3998 Well the characters you mentioned before weren't as honest as Shaheen. Miguel and Armor King are interesting yes there is always room for those characters. Playerbase is not everything though for example: Lei wulong is a very interesting character with a small playerbase and not a bland boring character. I looked at the command list of Shaheen and they buffed a lot of his tools including the shit parry which had no guaranteed followup in T7 a lot of QOL changes to his other moves and new mid moves. People call his playstyle boring or bland but its perfect standard Tekken, no swords or other strange abilities.

No one ducking Julia and Kuni too then by that logic

Leo does…? 😂

Anna

Pretty sure Katarina is coming back as DLC at least, I think there are lots of Katarina players. There's a lot of classics that didn't come back in T8 too. I guess Shaheen's here mostly for diversity if any; gotta have someone representing the Middle East these days.

Shaheen was created first

…what? 😂

I didn't delete any of your comment, maybe it got automatically hidden by RU-vid.

@JakubDi Weird cause I don't think I said anything that could be rule breaking, but thanks for confirming. Appreciate your videos.
