King of the Iron Fist update

I’ve learned another character in Tekken 5. His name is Steve fox, and I’m a fan of his style because it’s so radically different from the others. You’ve got people who know ninjutsu, Tai chi, Tae Kwon Do, the dance of war, the gentle way, the art of the empty hand, and the art of the silent fist. Well Steve uses Manchester Boxing. The Art of Rogering the bullocks. He’s also the only character who can’t kick. If you push the kick button he weaves depending on which way you were pulling when you pressed it, and which kick button you pressed. This can lead to all kinds of great tricks. It also makes him the greatest character to be an asshole with. When Feng does his run charge shaolin kick maneuver which devastates most people, you can just weave to the side and punch him in the kidney when he lands. It also leads to some truly beautiful maneuvers. Kick and back causes him to do a matrix style sudden lean back. Hitting light punch at the bottom of the lean causes him to punch upwards. If you time it right, you can dodge a kick by leaning under it, and then punch them when they’re over you. It’s hard to time but devastating when it works. Actually I think that summarizes the character over all pretty well, hard to time but devastating when it works.
