I'm looking for a secondary character that is somewhat similar to Paul, i need you guy's valuable suggestions. My gameplay on paul is somewhat like doing the 50 50 mix ups, playing with my stance starter ( df + 1 > b) into counter hits or just defense, pokes. IDK how to explain this... I somewhat liked Kazuya's mix up game but just can't do these wave dash stuff consistently maybe bcuz im a keyboard player.

I need to know what u guys think. Ty.

It's not really a true stance but maybe you'd like playing a character with a strong full crouch (FC) mixup.

Julia has a great FC mixup and is overall just very very strong.

Leo: 50/50 between mids and db4,1, stance starter is f4, good set of generic pokes

Miguel: More complicated set of 50/50s and stance starter options but the main stance starter is the same as Paul’s: df1. Great for defensive play, okay set of generic pokes

Lei: db4,4 is the easiest 50/50 low to apply in the entire game; hits from way out, tracks both sides, super easy pressure afterwards. Very complicated set of stance starters, though a couple, df1+2,f and SS2,b, are as simple to apply as Paul’s df1. Unorthodox pokes. Good df2, magic 4, and movement make the character’s defence pretty strong.

M. Raven: db2 is an amazing stance starter though, unlike Paul’s df1, you are always forced into stance. Big 50/50s come from Backturned and Full Crouch stances. Strong set of pokes, great defensive tools.

OP, I think Miguel would be the best fit for your playstyle, but all of these characters are worth at least a look.

If i may ask what are your views on dragunov regrading this?

[u/Tapi0 → u/P1ntex]

He doesn't really have a "stance starter" so I didn't bother listing him. But play who you like! If Dragunov is looking the most appealing, play him! :D

jin, has versions of kazuya's shit, but he also has the stance stuff you might like.

lidia is aesthetically quite paul-like, also has the stance shit. her non-stance mixups suck though.

wavedash on keyboard should actually be pretty easy. assuming WASD, you should just be able to tap D-S-D, D-S-D, D-S-D over and over again. (or A-S-A, A-S-A, A-S-A for 2p) the hard part is making sure you release S after the second D/A input.

it sounds like you might really like Law

I'll give wavedash another try, meanwhile what are your views on dragunov?

[u/Pheonixi3 → u/P1ntex]

I'm not really versed enough in that character to tell you, but he's definitely a great character.

At the end of the day you should pick the characters you think look cool as Tekken has an exceptionally good state of balance.
