Jun combos

Once you start getting more complex, Jun has some of the highest damage combos and wall carry potential in the game. But before you get there, you’ll want to master some of her more basic combos, like these:

  • Combo 1: f2, u/f3, f3, 2, (during Izumo) 1, 1, b2, 1, 4
  • Combo 2: u/f4, 3, (during Miare) f, (during Genjitsu) 4, f3, 2, (during Izumo) 1+2
  • Heat Dash Combo: f2, u/f3, (during Heat) 1+2f, f4, b2, 1, 2, f, f2f, (during Genjitsu) 2

Jun strategy

Jun excels at almost everything. Her strong poke game lets her heap pressure on opponents, potentially netting a counterhit launcher in the process. But with great movement she can also bait whiffs that can be punished with some incredible punishers. Couple all that with sky-high combo damage, and however you want to play her, Jun is an incredible character.

Hopefully this is a good start to your journey to mastering Jun Kazama in Tekken 8. If you’re after some more character guides, we have guides on Tekken 8 Jin and Tekken 8 Paul for you to check out too.
