The definitive Paul Phoenix FAQ Version 1.02

© copyright 1997 Markus Kaufmann.

I have decided to put this FAQ together, since I've always enjoyed
beating the crap out of others with Paul. This FAQ is based on my own
experiences as well as the work of other Tekken enthusiasts (see the
credits section). New items in this version include a few new entries
in the Evil Paul section.

Paul is arguably one of the most powerful, if not THE most power-
ful character in Tekken 3. He can inflict 70%+ damage with his death-
fist (not the unblockable), doesn't have very complicated moves and
combos, and even has a decent arsenal of holds. He can definitely go
toe-to-toe with any other character in the game. His only real weak-
ness lies in his poor recovery time from many of his moves.

In the last tournament Paul earned the right to fight Kazuya, but
a multi-car accident on the expressway prevented Paul of getting to the
match on time. He was forced to forfeit. Though Paul has had an
enviable career, he has yet to win the one tournament that would mark
him as being one of the true greats.

Last Spring he received an unexpected invitation to the 3rd King of
Iron Fist Tournament. With training still as part of his daily regiment
he is still in peak condition and feels he still has what it takes to
win the big one. Though now 46, he still has eyes of an eagle with the
strength and reflexes of a tiger!

**********************************************************************
5. General Strategy
**********************************************************************

A. Keep 'em Guessing
Paul is a very powerful character, with relatively straight for-
ward gameplay. Don't be afraid to get in close to your opponent. The
quickest way to win a match with Paul is to get close and keep attack-
ing with falling leaf combos, death fists, tenstrings, etc. Simply
overpower your opponent with a barrage of varying attacks. The big-
gest thing you have to avoid is becoming predictable with your moves,
though. Don't overuse any one move, keep changing them around. Here
is an example for some combos:
1. d+1:4:2:d+2:::123:d+4,2
2. QCT+1:QCT+2:d+4:2::d+1:2::fF+2

B. Sidestepping (u,n)_(d,n)
Side-stepping is one of the biggest improvements in Tekken 3, and
it is vital that you learn how to effectively side-step during the
match. Use the side-step anytime your opponent is rushing at you with
a linear attack (i.e a combo or tenstring that doesn't track well-Laws
punch rush, etc.). Paul's Side-stepping Shoulder Ram (F+1+4) is also
a great way to side-step and counter-attack. You should get several
MCs per match from this move. When you successfully side-step you have
several options:
1. You can side-step, pause and go for a side or back-throw
2. You can side-step and start a combo/tenstring of your choice

C. Phoenix Smasher (QCT+2)
This is the biggie. You MUST know this move to be truly effective
with Paul. This move does about 50 points of damage on a clean hit,
and about 70-80 points as a Major Counterhit. If your opponent does
not know how to block, your match should be over in about 5 seconds...
Don't overuse this move, tho. It can be reversed, and as with all of
Paul's moves, timing is everything.

D. Falling Leaf Combo (d+4,2)
Another MUST know for Paul. Many people just cannot block this
move. This move is also great for okizeme tactics (see EVIL PAUL).
Anytime you find yourself close to your opponent (and not blocking one
of their moves), pull out a falling leaf combo. Again, don't become
predictable with this move, though. It has a very long recovery time
when it is blocked, setting up your opponent for huge counter-hit op-
portunities.

E. Jaw Breaker to Stone Breaker or Deathfist (D,df+2,2_1)
An easily forgotten move in Paul's arsenal, but one that is a must
have to become next to unbeatable with Paul. This move can also be
lead into with the sway+kick (QCB,3,2,2 or QCB,3,2,1). Most opponents
will expect you to heavily rely on the Phoenix Smasher and the Falling
Leaf combo. The Jaw Breaker combos are a great way to mix things up,
and I don't think that the Jaw Breaker can be reversed. This is also
an excellent counter-attack after you have blocked your opponents low
attack or ducked a high attack. Great damage and juggle potential.

F. Tenstrings
Paul's Tenstrings aren't as useful as most of the other characters
but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't know them. A lot of people
will know how to block or reverse them, but there are still plenty who
don't. My suggestion would be to try one once per round, it's a great
way to see just how good your opponent is.

G. Elbow Uppercut (QCT+1)
This move may not do as much damage initially as Paul's Phoenix
Smasher, but it does setup great juggles and float opportunities. A
good way to use this move would be to alternate between it and the
Phoenix Smasher.

H. Three Kick Combo (f,f+3,4...)
Great move to harass your opponent with especially if you know the
Low ending (f,f+3,4,d+3). Also a good move to try when your opponent
is trying to get up. Often you'll end up with another float. Another
way to use this move would be to only do the first kick, which will
set you up for some great juggling opportunities (ie. f,f+3,d+4,2,d+2)

I. Flash Elbow (f,F+2)
A good way to start a round, or to keep a charging opponent at
bay. You must make sure to connect, though, since the recovery time
is very long if you miss. This move is not reversible.

J. Roundhouse Kick (3)
Paul's standard left kick, this is an easily forgotten move. The
kick comes out very fast, and is great to use on opponents recovering
from a whiffed attack.

K. Neutron Bomb(f,f+4)
A useful move, especially against opponents on the ground and to
close the distance between you and your opponent. This is a good move
to use, even when you EXPECT TO HAVE IT BLOCKED, because Paul will re-
cover faster than the other player, which will allow you to do several
things. If you hit 2 repeatedly right after you are blocked (but be-
fore you recover) you'll get a right upper-cut which will float your
opponent unless they are blocking. If you wait a little longer for the
recovery, you'll be able to get in a 1,2 combo. A last great way to
use this move (especially against CPU or agressive opponents) is to do
a reverse right after the Neutron Bomb. If your opponent tries counter
attacking with a mid or high move they'll walk right into it.
Examples (f,f+4,2...) (f,f+4,,1,2...) (f,f+4,,b+2+4_b+1+3)

**********************************************************************
6. VS Human Strategy
**********************************************************************
* *
* A note on this strategy section: *
* Paul is an incredible offensive force, so most of the VS strategy *
* below will concentrate on defending and countering the various *
* other characters. *
* *
**********************************************************************

A. VS Ling Xaioyu
Watch out for her quick combos. Be very careful when she has her
back turned to you - she is just as quick as when facing you. Her pun-
ches are at least as quick, if not quicker that Paul's. If she goes
for her punch combo (u+1+2,2,1), reverse the second or third punch. If
she is in her Art of Phoenix stance, use the neutron bomb or the fall-
ing leaf combo. Watch out for her side-roll and throw coming out of
her Phoenix stance. She can also grab and throw you with her back
turned. The Jaw Breaker, Stone Breaker combo (D,df+2,2) is a great
move to use against Ling, especially since she can't block whe she's
in the Phoenix stance

B. VS Yoshimitsu
Use those reversals! You can reverse most of Yoshi's moves. All
of his Tenstrings can be reversed. Tenstrings starting with a punch
can be reversed at the first kick (4th hit) if it starts with a kick,
or the first punch (3rd hit). I don't know if Paul can reverse Yoshi's
sword, I'll try to find out soon. When Yoshi goes for his kick combo
(3,4) wait for his first kick to finish and immediately interrupt him
with some quick punches, leading into a five or tenstring. If your
opponent knows how to block, be wary of using the Deathfist and Elbow
Uppercut, since they have long recovery times and Yoshi is devastating
when counter-attacking.

C. VS Nina Williams
Nina is usually a tough opponent, but Paul should be able to handle
her fairly easily. The biggest thing to remember when playing against
Nina is to mix things up and use reversals as well as side-stepping.
Do NOT, however, try to side-step Nina's blonde bomb (f+1+2), because
it WILL track your side-step and still connect. Nina's Tenstrings can
be reversed at the 5th hit (1st kick). Her Tenstrings beginning with
121233 can also be reversed at the 7th hit. You would also do well to
know all of her 3 to 5-hit combos. This will open up a lot of reversal
opportunities for you.

D. VS Forrest (Gump) Law
All of Law's Tenstrings can be reversed at the 4th or 10th hit. If
Law goes flip-kick happy, use your reversals or wait until he comes
back down and hit him with an immediate Deathfist. Law's punches are
very quick (about as quick as Paul's) and watch out for his low sweep
(db+4). Law now also has a high counter/interrupt, so be careful with
your Tenstrings. If your opponent likes to come in close with punches
look to interrupt them with a quick 1,2 and then go for a Falling-Leaf
combo, or just finish the tenstring.

E. VS Hwoarang
Watch his kicks (duh!). You should be able to do a lot of side-
stepping against him. Be careful when he is in his flamingo stances.
Many of his kicks can be reversed, but the timing is difficult to get
right. Hwoarang has no high counter, so use your full arsenal at will.
Many Hwoarang players will overuse the (d+4,4) and (1,1,3,3) combos,
so look to block and counter them. Really the only hope Hwoarang has
against Paul is to attack non-stop, but even then you can still inter-
rupt him with the 1,2 punch combo.

F. VS Eddy Gordo
Eddy is such a PITA. He is very unpredictable. Eddy's biggest weak
ness is his lag-time between moves and that he doesn't have any rever-
sals. You can't expect to just open up your full arsenal, though. A
lot of times Eddy will dodge moves by default, because he is always
swaying from side to side, but you still might want to open the round
with a tenstring. It'll give you a good idea about how good your op-
ponent is. Don't be afraid to hit him out of his combos, especially
when he is in his hand stand position. Use the tile-splitter to hammer
him to the ground, or use the Jaw Breaker to Stone Breaker combo on
him. Remember, Eddy is cheap by design, don't be afraid to be cheap
in return. Use okizeme tactics without mercy, with Paul you have one
of the best in the game at doing just that.

G. VS Paul Phoenix
The main thing for Paul VS Paul is to stay unpredictable! If your
opponent cannot guess when you are going to pull out a Deathfist or
Falling-Leaf combo, you've already got half the match in your pocket.
Look for the other Paul to miss one of his Falling-Leaf combos and
either counter with a grab or your own Falling-Leaf combo. Reverse
Paul anytime he tries the Super Deathfist from the edge of its range
(if you dare). Paul's Tenstrings can be reversed at the 4th hit and
the third 2 in the 1232121421 Tenstring or reverse him at either of
the last 2's in the 123432432 part (the 7th or 10th hit). Other moves
to reverse: His three-kick combo (reverse the last kick) and his tile
splitter --> deathfist combo (reverse the deathfist). Since most of
Paul's attacks are very linear, you should be able to use side-steps
with good success.

H. VS King
KNOW THY BREAKOUTS!!! Duck under any grab attempt and juggle with a
(WS)+2. Reverse King's 121133... Tenstring at the first or second
kick. His 121123331(1_3) Tenstring can be reversed on the 9th hit. You
can try to reverse the frankensteiner (df+3+4), but it's pretty risky.
Use quick punches to hit King out of his Moonsault. Watch out for his
Jaguar Lariat unblockable (F+1+2) and his Flying Cross Kick ($+3+4).
The Jaguar Lariat must be ducked and the Flying Cross Kick must be
blocked high, or ducked. Remember that King cannot reverse punches, so
you can safely use most of your arsenal against him as well as your
Tenstrings.

I. VS Lei Wulong
Lei isn't that easy to play against with Paul, especially if Lei
spends a lot of time on the ground. There are several things you can
do about a lying Lei though. If he's close, do a Neutron Bomb, if you
are anticipating him getting up, do a Falling-Leaf, and if he's some
distance away from you, do the Jaw Breaker, Stone Breaker combo. Re-
verse or side-step the backflips and especially his punch rushes. Side
step his Spring Kick (3+4 while lying down) and go for a side or back
throw. If he goes for his 3,3 kick, which leaves him turned around,
go for an obligatory Deathfist. When playing a stance-happy Lei, use
the Falling-Leaf combo, or wait a split-second while he is changing
stances, and them hit him with everything you've got.

J. VS Jin Kazama
When played by an expert, Jin can be VERY tough. Learn how to block
and reverse his tenstrings. His Hell Sweeps (uf+4,4,4,4) can be re-
versed at the last kick. Block his 112/122 combos and retaliate with
your own 1,2... Use a tile-splitter to hit him out of his Unblockable.
You can try to reverse it (but it cannot be reversed after he spins
twice!). His uppercut (f,n,d,df+2) hits high, so it can be ducked. I
think, once again, the biggest key to beating Jin is to keep'im guess-
ing. Mix up your moves and block and you should be ok.

K. VS Kuma
Be prepared to block and retaliate with quick counter-attacks
(tenstrings, or roundhouse kicks [3]). His power-moves are dangerous,
so stick to chipping away with small, quick attacks. Do NOT try side-
stepping moves, his cross-cut saw (f,f+1+2), among other things will
crush you in no time. If you see him going for his punch-combos (D+111
.|df1,2,1 etc.) or his punch-tenstrings (D+211...), get ready to re-
verse. Most of these combos can be reversed on the third or fourth hit
Hit him out of his Unblockable with a combo or TENstring of your
choice.

L. VS Julia Chang
The main thing to watch for with Julia is the patented Sweep, Up-
percut (d+4,1). The uppercut can be reversed. If you get floated, DO
NOT get up right away, if you do, Julia can float you again (cheezy
but effective). Julia also has several fast moves. Watch out for
her relatively speedy unblockable (f+1+4). Try Sidesteping to Julia's
Left (towards the hand she does it with) then doing a sidethrow or
juggle. Many of Julia's Kicks can be easily reversed. For spin-happy
Julias (her 3+4 move) counter with a Falling-Leaf combo. Last but not
least, learn to block and recognize her various TENstrings.
(i.e. get out your Playstation and use the practice mode, heh heh)

M. VS Gun Jack
Be prepared to block and retaliate with quick counter-attacks
(tenstrings, or roundhouse kicks [3]). His power-moves are dangerous,
so stick to chipping away with small, quick attacks. Do NOT try side
stepping moves, his cross-cut saw (f,f+1+2), among other things will
crush you in no time. If you see him going for his punch-combos (D+111
|df121 etc.) or his punch-tenstrings (D+2111..), get ready to reverse.
Most of these combos can be reversed on the third or fourth hit. If he
tries his flying foot-stomp, run underneath it for a free back-throw.
Also if he goes for the low cross-cut saw, block and retaliate using
the Jaw Breaker combo of choice.

N. VS Mokujin
You'll have to figure out which character Mokujin is imitating.
Don't worry, though, your opponent has to figure that out as well :)
You can usually tell which character he is by his stance. Yoshimitsu
is the easiest, because Mokujin will have a wooden sword. Eddy is also
easy to spot, since he's always moving around. I think Jin is the most
difficult to spot so far. All you can do is hope to get a good matchup
(like Kuma) and go from there.

7. Stuns & Juggles
**********************************************************************

A. How To Juggle
Start with with one of the juggle combos. The last hit should get
your opponent into the air (aka: a float). Then do a juggling combo to
keep your opponent in the air. You can also precede the juggling combo
with a Stun move.

8. Evil Paul (custom combos/tactix to really piss off your opponent)
**********************************************************************

A. Custom combos

f,f+4,,1,2
f,f+4,2,d+4,2,d+2
f,f+4,,(b+2+4_b+1+3)
D,df+2,2,d+4,2,d+2
D,df+2,2,d+2
D,df+2,n,2
QCF~D+4,2

- If your opponent always gets up with a high kick, move in close and
reverse it!
- If your opponent does the quick recovery to get up, use your
Falling-Leaf quickly to put him/her back on the ground.
- Change your fighting style. I.e Lots of punches in one round, kicks
in the next, side-steps in the next, grabs in the next, etc.
- Here's one I'm still working on: Instead of reversing or breaking
an opponents TENstring, SIDE-STEP out of it and get a free back-
throw. I should have some side-step break points soon...

B. Okizeme
If played right, Paul is the king of okizeme. Here's what you
do.
1. Knock down your opponent (preferably w/ your fav. juggle:)
2. Wait
3. As soon as they show ANY movement do a Falling-Leaf combo
4a. Continue with items 2+3
4b. Many times your opponent will try to get up right after the
sweep. If they do, use the deathfist to put them back down.

**********************************************************************
9. Winning Stances
