It’s a move that will have specific situational use, but if it’s mastered it’s a move that every player facing a Negan player will need to look out for. Negan’s Secret WeaponĮven with the Intimidation stance and all of his Lucille-based attacks, there’s one move in Negan’s moveset that really sticks out to us.
NEGAN TEKKEN 7 HOW TO
Knowing when these moves occur and how to trigger them could lead to big damage and make a huge difference in a close match. Face Shredder (Forward + 2, 2) doesn’t even need a counter hit, as long as the second hit connects Negan will grind the barbed wire into his opponent’s face and get some extra life bar taken off. The extra scene that follows - complete with a quick zinger from Negan - will cause some extra damage to the opponent. These are common across the roster, but Negan seems to have more than most of his supporting cast.īad Break (Down + 2) is a basic downward swing of the bat, but if it connects on counter hit Lucille will get lodged in the opponent’s head. Negan has a lot of what we call “special state” moves, where connecting them (mostly) on counter hit will trigger an extra animation that causes more damage. Note that this throw will not cause a wall bounce, it is strictly a hard knockdown, but getting away from the wall is reward enough to keep this throw in the back of your mind.

Say Negan is stuck near a wall and an opponent is closing in, if Negan hits this throw he gets out of the corner and throws the opponent into the corner in one fell swoop. With zoning and stage control being such a key part of Tekken 7 ’s strategy, we’re confident this basic throw could be a key competitive edge. Negan’s Into the Fire throw (2+4) gives him an interesting tool as the move see Negan throw his opponent behind him, switching screen sides in the process. Here's Negan getting acquainted with his new Tekken 7 friend Heihachi. Negan attacks very fast out of the stance, and most of the moves cause a stun state or knockdown of some kind giving him plenty of time to block or move once out of the stance. The loss of this mobility makes effective use of the Intimidation stance much tougher, but that doesn’t mean it’s completely useless. Perhaps worst of all he only blocks if the player is holding Back, neutral blocking is disabled during Intimidation.
He also cannot duck while in the stance, so defending against lows with anything other than a counter is nigh impossible. Negan loses the ability to dash and sidestep, so quick movements to dodge attacks are out. The major downside to Intimidation stance is the loss of mobility, which will hamper its effectiveness. No Intimidation Is Without Its Weaknesses Learning Negan’s Intimidation tactics will be paramount in any player wanting to succeed.even with its obvious weaknesses. He gains a lightning quick and powerful high attack in Grand Slam (1+2 while in Intimidation), Crowbar (1+3 while in Intimidation) is slower on start-up than a normal throw but quickly knocks the opponent back if it connects for solid distancing, and Beatdown (2 while in Intimidation) will cause a hard knockdown on counter hit with just one button press. While in this mode Negan’s options open up considerably. Many of Negan’s normal attacks can enter Intimidation stance by holding the attack in, including his quick Shove (2+3), Tenderizer (Down-Forward + 1, 2), and Blood Moon (Down-Forward + 2). Much of Negan’s offensive arsenal revolves around his second stance called Intimidation (3+4), where he brings Lucille to his shoulder and changes his walking stance.
