Dr. B’s creation, Alisa, embodies the essence of his beloved daughter, known for her mastery in the art of poking and maintaining a solid neutral game. Her playstyle revolves around gradually wearing down opponents, capitalizing on their mistakes borne out of frustration. Alisa’s exceptional movement, characterized by a robust sidewalk and backdash, facilitates precise whiff punishment, seamlessly integrating with her proficient poking techniques.
A distinctive feature in her arsenal is the chainsaw stance, unleashing formidable pressure on opponents and compelling them to navigate the perilous choice between damaging lows and advantageous, + on block mids. Her offensive approach is further fortified by the high-risk, high-reward WR2, a move that, when blocked, leaves her in a commanding position to maintain pressure and keep opponents on edge. In the latest iteration, Tekken 8, Alisa gains the ability to transition into her chainsaw stance from a blocked WR2, creating additional strategic advantages.
Despite her lower poke damage, Alisa is not afraid to take calculated risks for the prospect of larger openings in the heat of battle.
