Tekken 8 Lee: Rage Art and Heat Moves

Tekken 8 character combos can be best explained with traditional notations, such as “1, 2, 3, 4” (left punch, right punch, left kick, right kick) for action buttons. The directions have been denoted with "u, d, b, f" (up, down, back, forward).

Combinations like “u/f” (up-forward) and “1+2” (left punch and right punch) require you to press the buttons simultaneously. On the other hand, the “F” is a forward hold input.
