Damn, good stuff. The points you made about the first low, especially the counter hit properties at the wall, really opened my eyes.

Liking this new format with the webcam and longer explanation (not as bite sized as previously done). Keep it up, man :)

Definitely the best video someone who wants to be a reina main can watch, as a beginner the lows is the thing you struggle the most, I just hit the purple ranks so I'm sure this moves will help me going forward, nice job and thank you.

Thanks for the breakdown. Also the low from Sentai seems pretty important, would be nice to see a vid going through the options out of Sentai at some point 😎

amazing video mate good insight on alot of unused lows i think im going to use it even more now it sad that it relies alot on counter hit to be good

Great video dude! Definitely subscribing

Couldn't agree more. I think this was just one of those things where TheMainMan said she has bad lows, and then the entire community parroted that, and now Reina players just simply don't ever use lows in any circumstance other than wavu mix-up.

Thx man I havent been using the the heaven's wrath low at all

Learning Reina is always a constant struggle. I always resorted to db+2 or sen 3+4 so I didn't realize the other moves have that nice utility especially at the wall. Also whenever I watch other replays, one other low I notice them using is ss4. Great stuff as always!

great video! the second hit of HW d4,3 can ch launch when delayed even when the first hits too! many players will try to take their turn and press into the second hit, so satisfying to land

Very deceptive hiding the health bars and frame data... Heavens wrath d4,3 is not a natural combo, and the low portion only does 4 damage. Its possibly the lowest damage low in the entire game, and its launch punisbable on the extension. Its literally never worth using.

Can you make a video for combos/options after parries? I feel like there might be a lot of usages in just not sure what to do

doing hellsweep out from her windstep(d/f+3) is actually good tho, almost an unseenable low move in point blank range due to how fast the crouch dash comes out from a d/f+3 input vs the traditional f,n,d,d/f.

Awesome tips man for Reina, make anti-Neena defence & aggressive tips , i literally want to punish this character 😅

F+1+2,3 is IMO her best low. Wait with the 3 input at the last moment to see if the opponent blocks low. If they attack you when doing the 3 input you get a counterthrow that does 1/4 of their healthbar.

One thing about the HW low, the mid follow up isn't natural, so even if you hit the low you def have to be careful committing to the mid. Def wanna counter hit confirm that one

also cd 44 frame traps into wr 44, which goes into heavens wrath too.

Could you go over her stance cancel when doing the backwards or sidestep dancing? If you tap down forward when sidestepping away or towards the screen, you will side step, go into wavedash, or just cancel based on how long you hold or tap downward. Then if you tap I believe downward and then up when sidestepping away it will side step in the other direction. This actually helped me a lot if I wanted more distance than just korean backdash, sometimes making people completely whiff, allowing me to launch punish or go into heat engager. Also incredibly useful with getting a bit of heat back when you go into side stance and mix in some counter parries with back 1+2 to continue to keep heat if they're on the offensive. I say all this because I think Tekken 8 really tried to get the core essence of each character in the game with their new moves and animations, but also their heat engage accentuating these attributes. Kazuya obviously has his devil mode, jin gets access to other stances and perfect just frame moves as well as partial use of his demon, bryan is just full on damage and having fun, Kuma honors his master while using his claws more with ewgf- Though Reina I would say becomes both more aggressive and deceptive. In the story she covers up her intention by having a bubbly attitude who was just interested in Jin due to his connection to the university(?) heihachi had. Though when she shows her true colors she changes attitude and becomes more aggressive. I find this mix of deception between stances to then punish and rush down offense and mix-up is insinuated in her game plan and character. And part of this could be by incorporating these stance cancels and conditioning the other to hit you (her literally going into near death situations in the story in order to gain an advantage and the devil form, she wants to get that risk reward).

Verry Nice thanks

bom video mano tmj

thx

Another low I found useful is f1+2 3. Surprisingly not a lot of people seem to not use it so much, at least with other Reinas I've encountered, and my opponents don't tend to realise I can trap them with the roll animation. Opponent tries to jab or power crush to interrupt, and they get hit low and suffer a counter hit throw. for their troubles.Pairs well with her df 3+4 since that is a mid counter hit throw as well.

Great, I actually been using CD 4,4 a lot, but not tried db4 a lot, more SS 4. And I completely forgot about HWR d4,3 string. Now waiting for guide for wall brake, floor brake options)))

The Reina Association thanks you for your service.

I actually already use db4 and the double Hellsweep a lot, though, the Hellsweep doesn't work as well as oki for me because people just mash spring kicks at my current level. Something I noticed about the Hellsweep is that while you sidewalk it left, the second hit has crazy tracking so you have to sidewalk, then crouch block it.

Good stuff, I'd add that db4 1+2 can also be used to setup movement, as most stuff that doesnt track gets stepped or walked by female characters when they're at -2, like after db4, and if the opponent doesn't respect the movement the extension exists to smack him for trying a tracking move, definitely a more universal concept but a female character at -2 is pretty much ideal conditions for sidestep and Walk.

Needed this video to counter my older brother's Jun

Watching this video I realized that if you wanna be really... Provocative, you can ki-charge once you knock them down and go for a counter-hit db+4, mixing it up with some mid to make them guess lol I mean not super effective or anything but really spicy

Nice

I DID not know about db4 and all the pros of it, especially the knockdown extension. Crazy and I WILL incorporate that in my game plans

is it worth going for WRA D+4,3 when you can just cancel into another hellsweep for better risk/reward?

Face reveal, dang. Matches the voice honestly. Handsome mofo. Video cool as always, since T7 Kazumi shit

maybe it will go unnoticed but 2+3 can give you a free electric from the crouching position when you input df+2 on the right time

Using cd+4, 4 all the time literally, on lower ranks it works perfectly, not so big damage, but still good and reliable. However, wra d+4, 3 is kinda tricky, I still need to get used to it

Ok

i was right now years old when i found out cd4,4 wall breaks wtf

I've been the biggest db4 enjoyer and advocate since Reina came out, happy to see people coming around and seeing you're a part of db4 gang💪💪💪

this feel that class all reinas wants to skip, but we need to learn for surviving. if reina had more in build lows in her main attacks, she would be unstoppable.

😂

I'm telling you, people are sleeping on d4, ws3+4

With respect, this video spends more time explaining why you SHOULDN'T use these lows than why you should.

You handsome 😎 the most important to me the education in onother time

Ayyy hell nah, delete this 😂

This got to be the worst reina guide so far. db4,1+2 is not hitconfirmable and even if it was, it wouldnt have made a difference. If it gets blocked, or you get hit first the risk is just way to high and not worth it. You shouldnt use it because it literally sucks ass. cd4,4 is only good to hit grounded enemies, but besides that, the other hellsweep into hw stance is much better and last but not least the WRA d4,3 is literally a worse version of canceling into hellsweep from stance. No reason to use a worse low. Please dont make a guide if re gonna put false information in it

Struggle is real for Reina mains, thank you for the information
