Meet Law, hailed as the Bruce Lee of Tekken, embodying an in-your-face, poke-heavy persona. Renowned for his relentless pressure up close, Law excels in the art of frustrating opponents, forcing openings through swift pokes and intricate strings. While his ranged game might lack luster, Law’s entire gameplan thrives on the intensity of close-quarters combat.
At the heart of Law’s offensive arsenal is the Dragon Sign Stance (DSS), seamlessly accessible from a multitude of moves. Leveraging delayed strings and the formidable b4, a rapid homing mid that stifles sidestepping, Law compels opponents to withstand his unyielding pressure. Moves canceled from DSS further amplify the pressure, creating an environment where opponents are forced to navigate Law’s relentless onslaught.
While Law’s primary focus is on poke pressure, he introduces heavier mixups through his slide game—a low executed from crouch—accompanied by various mid options to keep opponents guessing. Notably robust in Tekken 8, his slide boasts a guaranteed follow-up, setting the stage for potent okizeme opportunities.
Given his limited ranged game, Law thrives when maintaining close proximity to the opponent.
