Character Trivia

Heihachi Mishima rightly earned his moniker the "King of the lron Fist" after founding the Mishima Zaibatsu with its formidable private army and being feared worldwide for his countless acts of tyranny. Heihachi waged a brutal war that divided the world in two with G Corp-led by his son who bore the devil gene, Kazuya Mishima.

At its culmination, Heihachi was defeated by Kazuya and thrown into a river of lava, leading the world to believe that he was truly dead.

    Sticky Note

    First you have to be ONLY slightly Off-axis in order for this to work, being too off axis might make the combo inconsistent. You have to do a single full backdash to make b2 have some space to resplat. Yes this combo is possible and I've done it a lot in real matches, you just have to lab it to get it right, as for stage selection it doesn't matter as long as it has walls, but a square stage is preferred. I might upload a video demonstrating the combo if I had some time, even tho this text is more than enough
