Tizoc Tips And Tricks

At the end of the day, Tizoc is a fairly simple character. You want to be close so that you’re able to grab your foes. When you are chest-to-chest with an opponent, you should go for your Just Hurricane (➡️↘️⬇️↙️⬅️↖️⬆️ LP/HP). However, getting close is the issue. You can launch yourself forward with yourPoseidon Wave (⬇️↙️⬅️ LP/HP), but you need to be careful to not be too predictable. Thankfully, you can break it on hit to reduce how unsafe it is if it is blocked, and you can use your feint to bait your opponent if they are countering it with a reversal attack.

When you are in the mid-range, you will want to use Tizoc’s Artemis Rex (⬇️↘️➡️ + LK/HK). This grab lunges forward. The LK and HK versions aren’t particularly fast, but the REV version is much harder to deal with.

If you get close to your opponent, expect them to get jumpy. People don’t want to get thrown, so it isn’t uncommon to see them take to the air. Thankfully, Tizoc hits aerial opponents extremely hard if you react with the REV version of his Olympus Over (⬇️↙️⬅️ LK/HK). Cancel the second hit of his Olympus Over into your Icarus Crash (⬇️↘️➡️LP/HP) to take away a quarter of their health from a single anti-air. Absolutely devastating!

If you are out of mental bandwidth, and can’t muster the Olympus Over in time, Tizoc’s Cr. HP is a reliable anti-air).

Tizoc can always perform a Safe Jump setup after you land his LP Icarus Crash. So, if you are looking to get tricky, you can swap a little damage for a safe jump setup by using the LP version instead of the HP.
