Character Trivia

A Taekwondo master, Hwoarang has considered Jin Kazama as his rival ever since their first fight ended in a draw.
About six months ago, he meets Jin again in the Middle East. The black-winged figure that stood before him was the same that had trounced him in an instant in a previous encounter.
With all the strength he could muster, Hwoarang succeeded in defeating the rampaging Jin. However, due to the intervention of the Union of Nations forces, Jin disappears once again.
"Victory was mine, but..." he said. Hwoarang was left feeling incontent at the unresolved conflict with Jin after returning home, so he threw himself into stoic training in order to find answers.
He quietly looks inward and gradually arrives at the answer — what he wants, and what he must do to achieve it.

    Stage : Rebel Hangar

    Sticky Note

    Optimal combo with all tools possible (heat and rage). Dash as deep as possible to connect u3 after backlash and RFF.f3 into heat smash, otherwise it won't work. Any stage with explosive walls is good to perform this combo. I used just frame 3~4 before rage art for 1 extra point of damage but the result without it is similar, maybe 127 damage instead
