what’s up guys main Manu here hoping you’re all doing awesome as always and welcome back to Tekken 8 in 8 minutes you can’t see my sexy sexy face this video is sponsored by the good people at mixbox arcade controller really good stuff huge thanks to them today I’m going to talk about hang uh Mr spam yeah let’s not sugarcoat it I mean let let’s keep it real Mr spam Mr spam this is what hang does he gets up close and personal at this distance here right in the opponent’s face and then he starts swinging basically and it’s really really annoying to be on the receiving end of it what is with Taekwondo guy he can motion switch by pressing free four this is left foot forward your neutral STS this is right foot forward a lot of your key attacks are locked behind that St and this is left Flamingo these are all stances if hang raises his left leg like this he has about 70 [ __ ] attacks just from this St where your opponent has to guess correctly like it it is truly a nightmare and then we have right flamingo as well uh also has a lot of devastating attacks please look at the frames to the bottom left corner corner of the screen do you see those frames that’s on block anytime one of his attacks connect on the opponent’s guard it’s like he stun locks them and staggers them even on block on hit it’s considerably worse right so really heavy impact attacks and it’s up to the opponent to know Jesus when can I duck when can I S side step to Counterattack you know and get out of this mess but much easier said than done so as a horang player you want to construct really really naughty flow charts sequences of attacks where you’re like oh oh that worked really well oh that one caught him off guard oh that one was good that’s that’s basically half a character uh but you have to get in on them and this used to always be hang’s problem really good initiation like going in on the opponent uh approach everything was so linear so strong horang players would try and slowly go in because you really want to be here like this is where you thve right where you spam and you have you have just the the most obscene Rush down at this range because you also for some reason I didn’t notice but Taekwondo guys are apparently wrestlers he has a complete throw game one break two break and two one plus two throws he even has a motion switch throw uh wait uh I think it’s two four does a does like 50 damage I think you have everything you need to break your opponent’s guard right so you need you need to work yourself in and this again he used to suck at this you had to slowly get in and start doing Jabs to check them but now uh they gave him this move uh so so you motion switch right foot forward into down for three pretty much an infinite Reach This reminds me actually of Ken’s uh dragon lash from Street Fighter 6 infinite reach mid homing heat engager do you know what this is on block plus one plus one so this mean and again homing mid infinite reach unbelievably strong in initiation move right so yeah initiation not so much a problem anymore so now you can mix with this attack and while running free if he don’t step is plus six right so initiation strong now um if you do that on block this jab here is uninterruptable at 10 frames right and that jab is plus two un block so initiation is strong and the reason they nerfed his initiation is because this is his classic low right that you usually start up with when you’re close to the opponent it’s your [ __ ] low natural and then into mix up on the opponent they nerfed the followup like this mid here used to launch straight up launcher now it’s a heat engager if I am in heat this will still launch right for huge damage and you’ll mix that again in heat with with a power low mixup as well that’s a natural but so now to get these really explosive Mix-Ups you have to be in heat if you’re not in heat you just you you get less damage wait I’m going to show you you can do D for free here but that’s it you know or you get a heat engager but that this is still super nice but it’s not as explosive as it was before but now you have super strong initiation instead right but when you initiate and now you are in heat well and now you have your explosive mixups and now hang starts spamming and what happens now not only does he get the craziest frames but look at his health bar we chip we chip right it’s like yeah so hang basically get into heat with your amazing Dragon lash and now Chip him down to your flow charts and then you know you have these big mixups huge 50/50 from right flamingo uh hang is also very strong at keep out down for to is a very strong keep out move so is orbital 25 frame startup safe minus 7 huge reach it’s really good if one of the best whiff punishers as well so if if Jin whiffs anything back free launches from 50 mil away absolutely incredible with Punisher so strong so yeah you’re neutral here make them keep out his strong if he whiffs cammo if I want to go in Dragon lash or or while running free huge advantage on block right at at plus six uh and then yeah we want to initiate heat we want to do our Big mixups B go uh you want to use your fro really stress their guard uh God is there anything else I want to say yeah uh just frame Skyrocket so this is his just frame really important here you have some nice mids like Ford for four again very linear we can step this super easily you have some nice mids to threaten with right in the neutral or down for one free good stuff but um to mix up your down fre four to its maximum potential you want to learn how to do just frame Skyrocket this is a safe on block huge launcher can I get you to block this minus8 completely safe long range right this is one of his best moves if not his best attack I would say it’s tied with this and again this new dragon lash is insanely strong uh but yeah if you’re serious about horang Le learn to do this move this is what you’re going to 50/50 with for the most part lock them down make them respect you and then mix up with this his combo Potential from it his combos are amazing in general but from just just frame Skyrocket so stylish right and so damaging for for3 is also powerful back one is a super strong evasive attack if someone’s pressing into you right and also don’t forget that right foot forward back two is strong for frames and then your fantastic power Crush in backlash they this is a high that’s plus four on block plus four on block recovers immediately on whiff so it’s almost impossible to whiff punish if a duck it uh and again absorbs attacks power crush and you get a free followup on hit I would say this is also one of your best attacks so again backlash very strong and as you saw access combo filler as well super sick uh this is a classic trap as well right foot forward down forward for on counter hit that’s a combo abuse that on everyone everyone eats it uh so strong uh but so yeah that’s how you play Hang in my opinion hope you enjoy this video hope you have a great day take care

Hello, I'm a fan. Please upload the joystick video in the opposite direction. So, please upload the button so that the button is on the right side and the stick is on the left side. Then I think people will understand better.
BRO, I swear this "infinite reach mid" it crazy hars to hit. Every time I use it I get punished. I can't use it close up cause it's too slow and whenever I'm in range they sure af block it or I end up actually being too far away and whiffing, then getting punished
Mainman you are the tekken info center
How do u switch stances ? Nobody say this info
I love this character
I have no f*cking idea how to play against this piece of cancerous sh*t.
I tried ducking, I tried sidestepping, I tried doing powercrushes, heat bursts and rage arts, and none of them work, because he's ALWAYS f*cking plus on block and the best I can do is randomly ram a single sitting jab if im lucky and ducked one of millions of his different attacks. Otherwise he interrupts literally anything and everything I try to do and it's NEVER my turn no matter when I do. This is bullsh*t. From now on I'm pressing Alt+F4 every single time I see "hwoarang" on the enemy side of the loading screen.
If someone cares, I'm on Garyu rank right now, I'm not a complete noob. I've been playing tekken for several years now, and I hated Hwoarang in T7, but in T8 he's absolutely unbearable, worse than Viktor. Worst character in the game to play against.
F*ck Hwoarang. I don't want to lab a character I hate for weeks and know every single of his attacks and flowcharts to be able to play against him. This is stupid.
You should turn on your input history or whatever it’s called
picked up tekken 8 last night, only played an old tekken game at an arcade bowling alley in the early 2000s, horrible at fighting games, but hwoarang is fun and hot so i might stick with him for a bit 😂

This is my biggest gripe with playing against Hwo at the moment. It feels like he doesn’t have many (any if the player knows what they’re doing) moves that actually leave him open. The only victories I’ve got are from people who know how to spam but not how to guard lows.
Is there any way to break the combo strings to stop them ?
Time to go back to him, I used him back in the days from T3, I even used Beak in T2, in T5DR I used him a lot, even online, T6 had a bad online on PS3, in T7 him was nerfed, so I stopped using him, and now he looks now strong, time to go back to the origins of my Tekken play 🙂
Hwoarang is one of the best characters created in the Tekken franchise
It's broken, one of the most broken character in the Tekken franchise
I wanna see that Hwoarang tbh
this character has been the bane of my existence for 25 years
Character is so gross man
Awesome, thank you. Eddie isn't in the game yet, so I'm looking for another main that's equally annoying
The best character
Please do 8 min guide on Leroy 😅
I hate hwoarangs pressure so much, like what do I even do against that bs.
I´m having problems with executing the sky rocket on a fight stick. Would probably be easier with 4 direction pad or analog stick. I never had a problem with this on a playstation pad.
What are your button mappings?
I'm now here since Hwoarang players no how to play better. Just played a Hwo that played keep out against me as Shaheen and I could not find a way in
You have forgotten his other powercrush LFF df+3,4, it is among his best moves, gives great oki options and most poeple eat it at least once. Of course lows go under it, but it is still a great move.
how to play hwoarang:just use these 3 flow charts and get to fujin ,have fun
Been a Hwoarang main since Tekken 3, hate me if you want too.
Lol its not spam if you play him correctly. His stances are dangerous and where he really hurts you. He can also sidestep from his stance to bait them. Instead of spam its pressure he's underated and thats why he pisses people off because with the wrong player they dont expect much from him until they face the right player and they cant keep up. My boy is a menace
you are the greatest tekken content creator. i havent played the game since tekken 3 but when i came back for 7 when you already "coached" me 😂
The comedic timing @2:45
im here to learn how to deal with this mf
goosiest?
Rang's "spam" barrage is easier said then done without getting punished or ducked by half way descent tekken players. Like Main Man said, he has like 100 moves that can come out between all his stances it gets even confusing to memorize and execute well. I'm a Hworang main…
Sorry but this is probably the worst hwoarang guide ive seen.
Can you do fhe B3 lsuncher from any stance?
I fucking hate hworang😢
So in short if you are bad, play Hwoarang?
Worst "Guide" ever
can someone annotate this combo? 7:27
I miss my boy Baek
Anyone know which arcade controller is he using?
mr spam isnt justified, think about all the other bs. hwaorang atleast requires you to actually try after a bit
reason is he doesn't have any side step unlockable attacks
hwoarang is epic, just less flashy lol
What mixbox is mainman using?
Hey 40IQ mashers, this is where you all hang out is it? Remember if you loose a round mash harder – fucking scrubs 🤣🤣🤣
Hwo main since his release in '97. Glad to see NamBan keeps their Korean star shining
TMM just hates hwoarang so much he decided to diss him instead of making an actual guide. 😂😂😂 He's and advanced character c'mon tmm you know it
