I. Basic Introduction
_____________________________________________________________________________

Prelude - This guide is intended to be used as a reference only. Some of
the strategies that I detail did come from my mind. However, the majority
of this FAQ is written based on multiple sources on the web as well as the
help of many high-level players. It is simply a collection of as much
information as I could get including my personal experiences from playing.
I assure you, I have been around the block (and the country) with Tekken. I
would also like people to keep in mind that I am not all-knowing. If
something in whatever section is wrong, let me know. I make mistakes or
forget about things. Same goes with typos. I read my FAQs a couple times to
try and catch typos, but it happens. If you find one that is bugging
you, just e-mail me and I'll update it. I'm human, too.

Note for using this FAQ - If you have Internet Explorer (I do not know if
other internet browsers have this feature) you can use Control+F to find
certain things on a webpage. This can be used to quickly skip to any portion
of this FAQ via the codes preceding any Table of Contents title. Also, I
HIGHLY recommend that you read the "Basics Guide" FAQ. If you don't and
don't already know all of the words and notations I use, this FAQ will make
no sense. The basics FAQ is filled with stuff that real Tekken players use
all the time. It's a good reference for stuff that you should just know if
you want to be good at Tekken.

Also, keep in mind that when I refer to a number I will spell out the number
if it's a quantity and simply put the numerical symbol if it's a button
press. So when I say, "Keep in mind, though, that the first 2 is +1 on
block," I mean the first right punch of the string, not the first two hits.

II1. The DSS/DFS Transition and Parry
---------------------------------------

I'm going to brush on the movelist here a little because it goes with the
subject. First, DSS stands for Dragon Sign Stance and DFS stands for Dragon
Fake Step. There's multiple ways to enter both, but the simplest is to press
d+1+2 for DSS and b+1+2 for DFS. DFS is actually more complex, but b+1+2
looks the exact same though it has different properties. 

******

There's eleven different things you can do when you go into DSS or DFS.

1 - A short backhand. Safe on block and causes a minor block stun for the
     opponent. High.
f+1 - A huge thrusting fist, usually called Dragon Knuckle. Relatively safe
     on block and pushes the opponent far away. Mid.
1<f+1 - DSS 1 followed by DSS f+1. You can quickly transition between the two
     if the first hit is blocked or it misses. The delay that is possible
     between the two is incredibly long.
2~1 - Poison arrow. A slow mid that is relatively safe on block and garuntees
     extra hits on CH. Can be performed out of DSS by pressing f+2~1.
2 and any string beginning with 2 - Self explanatory. Instead of doing a DSS
     specific move, you can come out with a normal 2 jab and do any string
     that begins with 2.
3 - A huge side kick. Relatively safe on block.
3+4 - Law's new flying kick. A lot of times you'll see it referred to as "The
     Kick." It's high and gives the opponent horrible recovery on block.
4,3 - A low followed by a mid JS. This looks very similar to the last two
     hits of b+2,3,4. Safe on block. Second hit is garunteed if the low hits
     CH.
2+4 - Close to a normal 2+4 grab except different animation and damage. The
     break is still 2.
2+3 - Exact same grab as f+2+3 except out of DSS. 1 break.
1+3 - Normal 1+3 grab except it cannot be advancing.

******

Okay, now comes the most important and hardest to get down part of Law's
game: The DFS to DSS transition. During some moves, you can press b~f and
when the move is finished, Law will go into DFS. This looks exactly like
b+1+2, however, there's no immediate punch parry like b+1+2, it's just
a similar animation step. When you go into DFS you can press either f or b~f
to go into DSS. Some moves go straight into DSS, so no extra f_b~f is
necessary. Generally, punches go straight to DSS while kicks go to DFS. The
best way to start learning this is to start SLOWLY. 

First, try to do something like a 4,3~DSS transition. The notation looks
something like this: 4,3~b~f~(f_b~f). If you want to start out even simpler,
do 1,2~DSS which would be 1,2~b~f. Since it's a punch, it will go directly
to DSS, not DFS first. I'll list some juggles in the juggle section that will
involve DSS transitions. It's better to practice the strings outside of the
juggle first to get the hang of the timing before you attempt the juggle.
Eventually, you'll be able to do the transition so fast it becomes second
nature and you'll hardly see the DFS.

******

There's another move that Law can go into DSS from and that's his parry,
b+(2+4_1+3). First, just an FYI, Law can parry high and mid moves. There are
some moves in the game that just cannot be parried. You have to just know
what they are through trial and error.

After you successfully parry a move, if you press b~f, Law will go into
DSS. This is important because it garuntees him extra hits. After a
successful parry~DSS transition the following options are garunteed: DSS 2,
DSS 1, grab attempt.

A couple notes, however. There's no garuntee that they won't break your grab.
Commonsense, but it has to be said. The grabs can still be broken. The DSS
2+3 grab will also sometimes whiff so it's better to just go with DSS 1+3
if you want a 1 break throw. Some kicks that are parried can be punished
with DSS f+1. This is EXTREMELY situational and you have to be VERY fast to
hit it. It was garunteed in T4 no matter what was parried, but that's no
longer the case. I would recommend not doing DSS f+1 after a parry otherwise
you're going to miss out on a lot of damage.

Also, if you go into DSS from a move (i.e. going into DSS anyway other than
d+1+2), during the first few frames of animation of the stance he will 
automatically parry. This rarely happens, but if it does, it does not require
that you press b~f but rather it will parry and go back into DSS for you. 
Simply put, it's a normal parry~DSS transition with you only having to go
into DSS from another move.

******

Law also has b+1+2 which is his punch-only parry. Notes for this section: I
will often refer to b+1+2 as PP (punch parry). When I use notation such as
PP~1, automatically assume that you should press 1 after the PP SUCCESSFULLY
parries a punch unless otherwise noted.

A note for b+1+2. If you don't successfully parry a punch with this, Law will
do a little dance. After some of the dance is done, you can do DSS moves. The
main reason I bring this up is because if you press 3+4 after b+1+2, he'll do
DSS 3+4 almost immediately after the step begins. This is important because
it's the ONLY move that can come out that fast from PP. Considering that
it's brandnew, you may catch some people with this. And depending on how good
your spacing is, you may be able to dodge and punish moves with this as well.

To start off, this move has been nerfed incredibly over the past couple
Tekkens. In Tekken 4, PP~1, d+4,3 was garunteed unless the opponent knew of
the one way to get out of it which is not well known. In Tekken 5, it's not
even that hard, just BD out of it. So far, we've yet to find anything that
is garunteed after PP~1. It seems that the best option off of PP is either
PP~2, dash, 2,2 or PP~3. I prefer PP~2, dash, 2,2 because of his BT options
which will be explained later.

A new feature of PP is the window for parrying a punch. Up until Tekken 5,
there was a very strict window involved in order to parry a punch with this
move. Now, it seems that the window for parrying a punch stays active until
Law recovers.

Remember that after you successfully parry a punch, you must input 1,2,3 or 4
otherwise Law will do nothing and just shove the arm aside. Also remember
that the later in the animation that the parry occurs, the faster you have to
input a follow-up command in order for it to come out.




II2. Detailed Movelist and Descriptions
------------------------------------------

Prelude - This is not an ENTIRE movelist. If you want to know Law's movelist,
go to practice and go through the game's movelist. I am only listing moves I
believe are important to Law's game (or contrastly, NOT important for good
reasons). I will refer to frames a LOT, so make sure you have read the Basics
FAQ if you do not know what frames are. I will usually not refer to how fast
a move comes out (as in how many frames it takes for the move to execute).
That information is important, but it's easier to go to tekkenzaibatsu.com
and look at the frame data from Tekken 4. The frame data for Tekken 5 has not
yet been figured out completely, so I'll give frames of new moves when I know
them.

******

Grabs - As far as grabbing is concerned, every single grab that Law has is
     important for a number of reasons. 

     1+3_2+4 - These are important because the 2+4 grab leaves Law in such
     a prime oki position (which will be explain later in section II3) that
     people may start to break 2 which is where the other grab comes in. Mix
     it up.

     d/f+1+2[,1,2,1+2] - Just to let anyone know, 1+2 breaks are the hardest
     to break for that reason; it's a two-button break. It's all preference
     whether you do the headlock punch or the bulldog drop, but the
     difference between the two isn't all that much. The bulldog drop does a
     little more damage but gives very little oki. The headlock punch doesn't
     do as much damage but leaves them in prime position for excellent
     mix-ups. After reading section II3, you'll make up your own mind based
     on how you like to play. I, personally, mix it up between the two to 
     maximize potential.

     f,f+3+4 - A change between T4 and T5, this is now a 1+2 break. No longer
     is it a 1 break. This grab has two redeeming qualities: One, it's a 1+2
     break and, two, it has the most potential for damage because it allows
     for juggles. Hit up the juggle section for the different possible
     juggles. The only problem with this grab is that it's somewhat easy to 
     see because of the f,f. This is why you must get really fast at doing
     f,f and try to throw it out in situations where it's hard to see the f,f
     dash.

******

Now for the real hitters.

1,2,3 and its variants - This is one of Law's biggest pressuring moves. I,
     however, don't use the last knee (the 3) of the string a whole lot
     simply because they nerfed the recovery of it. In Tekken 4, the 3 was -1
     on block. This means that they had to either do a TC move or a move that
     was 9-frames or faster in execution. In Tekken 5, the 3 is -4 on block.
     I tend to stick with 1,2 because on hit I will go into DSS for further
     mix-ups. Some people like 1,1,2 because if the first 1 hits, the
     following two jabs are garunteed and you can still go into DSS. I don't
     use that simply because if they duck the first one, they have more time
     to punish than just 1,2. It's strictly preference though. 1,2,3 is all
     garunteed if the first 1 hits CH. The last knee can be blocked if more
     than one 1 is performed. 1,2 is 0 on block and 1 is +1 on block.

d/f+1 - A quick mid-hitting jab. +1 on block. Good for duckers because it is
     completely safe. It is a little on the slow side, however. d/f+1 is also
     the start of Law's 10-string. Always use the d/f+1,3,2 version. It is
     not useful on block because most good players will low parry the 3 on
     reaction, but if the d/f+1 hits, the next two hits are garunteed.

d+1,3 - A relatively slow low jab to mid kick. Not only is this move a TC,
     but if the d+1 hits CH, the 3 is garunteed. Good for those who like to
     rush you down with quick, high moves. Use this and it will go under and
     CH them. You CANNOT delay the 3, however, the window for inputting it is
     pretty big considering how long the d+1 takes to come out. I advise
     not guessing whether your opponent is going to do something but trying
     to SEE if the d+1 hits CH, then pressing 3. It takes getting used to but
     worth it. The d+1 is at least negative -11 on block, as is the 3.

b+1<2<1 - This was changed back to how it was in Tekken 3 in that every hit
     is now mid. This is Law's most damaging JS because if either the
     first or second hit is CH, the rest of the string is garunteed. Plus, it
     seems to have some good priority over other moves which makes up some of
     its lack of speed. The only bad thing about this string is that you can
     SS any hit of it fairly easy. If the first or first two hits are blocked
     you can SS the following hit. You must SSR for the second hit and SSL
     for the last hit. The only time I recommend finishing this string is if
     you think one of the hits hit CH or, for some odd reason, your opponent
     is sitting there and trying to attack after you delay the second hit.
     b+1<2 is still relatively safe because it's hard as hell to SS the 2 and
     most people cannot SS it on reaction. In fact, I've yet to see anyone do
     it. Don't abuse it, though, otherwise they'll SS it because you're
     being predictable. You can go into DSS off of either of the first two
     hits.

u/f+1,3 - This move isn't all that good because it's not hard to see the low
     on reaction and low parry it. However, the u/f+1 seems to be 0 on block
     and on CH, 4,3 (which is 12-frames) and anything faster that will reach
     is garunteed. Good things to know, but not a move to be used a lot.

qcf+1,2,1,2 - No longer does Law have a power punch. Now he has a new string.
     I would have preferred the power punch, but this string has the same
     properties, for the most part. If any of the string hits CH, the entire
     thing is garunteed. Only the last hit is punishable on block and only
     to a certain extent, so it's better to stop at the jabs if you see them
     block. It seems like it still comes out in 8-frames and you CAN buffer
     this move during recovery. I wouldn't abuse this move too much because
     the first three hits are high.

f+1+2[~D] - Dragon Hammer(crouch). This is definately one of Law's top moves.
     I would recommend ALWAYS doing the ~D version because not only does it
     leave Law in crouch, which you want because his best mix-up comes from
     crouch, but it gives him +4 while f+1+2 gives 0, maybe +1. I'll explain
     the set-ups for this move and what you can do after it hits, is blocked,
     etc. in the next section. The only bad thing about this move is its
     speed, but it's almost impossible to SS.

2,2<1<2 - I only think that the first two hits of this string are good
     because it leaves Law in BT and, in my opinion, Law has really good BT
     options which will be explained even further in the following section. 
     Sometimes, once in a blue moon, it is a good thing to throw the entire
     string out because they might try to attack after the 2,2 if you abuse
     2,2 enough. The reason you don't want to use the last two hits a lot is
     because the third is high and it's not hard to see the first two hits,
     duck the third and punish before the last one comes out for a CH.

f+2~1 - This move is good in the fact that it does quite a bit of damage, is
     mid, gives a juggle on CH and is safe. However, it has no real practical
     purpose because of its speed. It pushes so far away on block that, yes
     it is safe, but it gives no good follow-ups. Plus, it's extremely hard
     to set-up so that you can hunt for a CH.

[f+]2,f+2,(2_1+2) - This string has its uses. First, if you finish with the
     2 version and the first hit connects, the entire string is garunteed
     unless they duck that last two. However, that's where the 1+2 ender
     comes in. If you see them ducking the last hit, throw that out and
     punish them for guessing. You may add up to four 1 jabs before this, but
     the string is not garunteed even if the 1 jabs connect. Both enders are
     at least -10, though I believe the 1+2 ender is a little more than that.
     You can go into DSS after the 2 ender. Keep in mind, though, that the
     first 2 is +1 on block.

f,f+2<1<3 - This move is really, really good. I would consider it one of his
     better strings. It's primary uses are for juggling and poking. Juggling
     purposes are pretty explanatory but you can play good mind games with
     poking. First, if the f,f+2 hits, the 1 is garunteed, no matter how long
     you delay it. If the 1 hits CH, the 3 is garunteed but it cannot be
     delayed. Be careful because if your opponent is good at seeing this on
     reaction, you can block the f,f+2, duck the 1 and punish. Only the last
     hit is punishable on block but it pushes so far away that you can rest
     easy knowing you won't get juggled or take a severe amount of damage. It
     is at least -10 on block, though.

d/f+2 - Probably his best big-hit whiff punisher. It's fast, safe on block
     and is a JS. Plus, it goes under some highs.

b+2<3<(4_d+4) - Also known as the junkyard combo. This move is NOT good
     outside of juggles or if your opponent is BT. This is the worst mix-up
     that Law has. You can see the d+4 VERY easily and it gives a really bad
     block stun. And most good players won't let you get that far because
     they'll low-parry the 3 on reaction. The only redeeming factor of this
     is that it is really good against BT opponents and the d+4 hits
     grounded. It's just a bad thing to use this against a standing opponent.
     b+2 is a decent long-range poke, though. You can go into DFS after the
     4.

d+2,3 - This move is only good for people in your grill. If they block this
     you ARE going to get launched if they know what's good for them. We have
     yet to find a character who cannot get a JS when they block this. The
     reason it's good against people who are in your grill is because the 
     flip is garunteed if the d+2 hits CH. Overall, if you use this more than
     once in a match, rethink the way you're playing.

WS+2 - This is one of Law's bread-and-butter JS. For the most part, it's not
     punishable, but there are a few characters who can punish it on block.
     For example, Jack-5 gets a free d/f+2. However, the rewards and mix-ups
     you can do with this greatly overcome the bad things about it. More will
     be explained in the next section. 

BT 2<2 - This is a great new addition to Law's arsenal in T5. Both hits are
     very punishable, but because you can delay the second 2 so long, most
     people do not try to punish the first 2 because they're afraid of eating
     the second one CH. If the first one hits, CH or non-CH, the second one
     is garunteed, even if you delay it. If it's non-CH, the window for that
     delay is smaller, but with practice it comes as second nature. More
     about this move will be explained in "The BT Game" section.

d+3<3,4 - This move is good to throw out every now and then because if either
     of the first two hits connect CH, the rest is garunteed. The first hit
     being low is a bonus, too. Bad thing is, all of the hits are punishable
     on block, so be careful.

d/b+3 - This is another good addition. This move is quick and hits low. Plus,
     it's a JS on CH. There's only a couple things bad about it. One, it
     does not TC like d+1. Two, it's punishable on block. Generic WS+4 will
     punish it along with a select few quick, powerful WS moves. Still an
     excellent poke.

b+3[~F_~B] - This is definately one of the best additions they gave Law. Ever
     complain about being SSed ALL the time in T4? Well, that's what this is
     for. Not only is it pretty fast for it's damage, but it hits mid and 
     tracks like WHOA. It automatically leaves Law in BT, but you can cancel
     that with ~F or ~B and stay facing forward. This move is COMPLETELY safe
     in open areas. The only time this move can be punished is if your
     opponent's back is against the wall, in which case they won't be pushed
     back far enough. Even then, only a select few moves can punish it. You
     should definately add it to your arsenal of primary moves and, as long
     as your smart with it, it'll do good things for you.

(U/F_U_U/B)+3,4 - This fake somersault is somewhat useful because you don't
     HAVE to do the 4. You can leave yourself in crouch after the flip and do
     other things. This comes into play a lot with slide mix-up, which will
     be explained later. You can also do this little fake somersault after
     1,...,2 jabs by press u/f+3. It's not useful in that situation because
     you can see the somersault on reaction and interrupt it with jabs. The
     4 is relatively safe on block and you can go into DFS after it.

FC,d/f,d,d/f+3 - Probably Law's best and most feared move. Combined with
     WS+2, this move becomes deadly. With so many moves leaving Law in crouch
     this move makes people reconsider their style of play. It is punishable
     on block, but in a very weird way. Because it leaves him on the ground,
     only certain things will punish it. You can reassure yourself that you
     aren't going to eat juggle damage if it's block, but some characters can
     get ground hits or mid-juggle enders. It's rewards more than make up for
     that lack of safety. This move is often called simply "slide," but
     sometimes you'll hear reference to an e-slide which is simply this move
     done as fast as possible. If you do the motion (without pressing 3)
     you'll see Law to a little crouching dash. The purpose of e-slide is
     to do the slide so fast that your opponent can barely see that motion.
     It all depends on the situation which one you should do, I'll cover this
     more in the next section.

WS+3 - This is a decent move. It's extremely safe on block and on CH, if your
     DFS to DSS transition is fast enough, DSS 3 is garunteed. However, being
     that it IS high, it's not incredibly useful. This move automatically
     goes into DFS.

4,3,4 - These kicks are pretty good. The only time you should ever do the
     last kick is in a juggle, otherwise stop at the 3. If the first one hits
     the 3 is garunteed. It's one of his prime punishers. Both the 3 and last
     4 can go into DFS. Also, the first 4 on CH is what's commonly called a
     "magic" 4 because it will magically CH things that you would think it
     shouldn't. If it hits CH, a juggle is possible.

SS+3+4 - Rarely will you find a use for this move. It's pretty bad on block,
     so expect to eat some damage. Even if it hits, only in extremely
     situational scenarios is there anything garunteed after it. I wouldn't
     use it too much.

4,u+3 - This string is not really useful because anyone can jab in-between
     the kick and flip. However, it's only -1 on block which is incredibly
     deceiving. It's only really good in juggles, though.

f,f+4 - I thought I would mention this move so that you know NOT TO EVER use
     it. It's just plain stupid. It gives NEGATIVE frames on HIT!! Plus, it's
     even more punishable on block than any of the new lows they've given
     Law. I see a lot of new players using this and the first thing I say is,
     "Don't."

(d_FC)+4,3 - I only use the first kick of this because it's a pretty good
     poke, but other than that, you should rarely use the flip. It's badly
     punishable on block and is only garunteed if the 4 hits CH.

d/b+4,4 - The only time you should use this is if you think they're going
     high. This move goes under highs like no one's business. Depending on
     your set-up and predicting skills, it can do some hardcore damage if
     CH. It's preference, but I prefer not to do the second flip because I
     like the oki that I get after the sweep hits. If they block it... say
     goodnight.

(U/F_U_U/B)+4,3 - Both the first flip and both flips are useful in certain
     situations. We'll talk about low parries later, but know for now that
     the double flipkicks will come into play later. Otherwise don't use both
     because the second one is absolutely horrible on block. The first
     flip is good to use by itself because it's relatively safe on block and
     gives good juggle damage. It's a primary launcher, definately. You can
     also go into crouch after it, so doing the backwards one and then going
     into slide mix-up is gold. I wouldn't do the directly U flip because
     it's more punishable than the other two.

(u/b_u_u/f)+4 - Also called a hopkick. This is a quick, generic launcher.
     Good in situations where you don't have a lot of time to punish but
     still want to juggle. For Law, the u/f version is the best because
     there's no good set-ups off of the other two and the u version only
     launches on CH, making it not near as good as it was in Tag. You CAN
     still use the u/b version for evasice purposes, but who would want to do
     that?

WS+4 - There is a flip kick after it, but I wouldn't use it because it's
     badly punishable. WS+4 is good because you can go into DFS after it. IF
     your DFS to DSS transition is fast enough, WS+4~DSS 2 is garunteed on
     CH. And on block, not a whole lot can beat it out and most people won't
     duck it. If they do, switch to WS+4~DSS f+1. This becomes important in
     the next section. WS+4 by itself is not punishable and is used in some
     situations as a generic punisher.

BT d+4 - It looks cool and gives a juggle, but forget it exists. There's very
     few situations where it's useful. It's too slow to mix-up with his other
     BT options because you can see it and it's punishable on block. All bad
     qualities.

BT d+3 - This is a generic BT low kick. You'll learn to love it because it's
     a large part of his BT game and is relatively safe on block.




II3. Set-ups and Oki - Creating Your Own Unique Style
---------------------------------------------------------

3A. Frame Lockdown:
-------------------

Frame lockdown is a term I use that describes keeping your opponent in
negative frames for as long as possible. Basically, the goal of frame
lockdown is to get into a flow in which your opponent cannot move and, if
they try, they will eat something. I'll try and teach you several ways to
accomplish this, each of which can be mixed up with the others.

Using d/f+1 to its fullest - d/f+1 is not only a pretty quick, safe, mid
     poke, but it also leaves you at +1. A wise choice after d/f+1 is a
     simple 1,2 follow-up. If you think it'll hit CH, go with 1,2,3. Hell,
     you can even do qcf+1,2,1,2 and catch them trying to beat you out. 
     If they block the 1,2 jabs, you're left at 0 so you're back to square
     one. If they try to go under the jabs, there's a few different things
     you can do. If they try to stop your jabs by doing a generic d+1 poke,
     you can either low parry it or crush it with U/F+4. The same goes for
     any other low. If you think they're going to do a TC move that isn't
     mid, most of the time you can beat it out with a simple hopkick or d/f+2
     or even another d/f+1. Even though 1,2 will beat out any highs that they
     may do, it could be in your favor to do d+1,3 if you're expecting a
     high. This will go under their high and CH.

     Some people, realizing you're keeping them in negative frames will
     simply turtle. When this happens you have to start using lows and grabs.
     The only grab that is probably the least helpful in this situation is
     f,f+3+4. Since your opponent is sitting there waiting for an opportunity
     to attack, they're probably also looking out for grabs. If they're good
     and they see the f,f dash, they will most likely break 1+2. The best
     lows are d+4 and d/b+3. Both are quick and give good frames so you're
     still on the offensive.

1 jab - Simply doing a regular 1 jab will result in the same options as
     d/f+1. The difference is that the jab is high. However, it still gives
     +1, so just follow whatever option is the best for the situation.

[f+]2 - Same deal as the two above.

1,2 - Most people fail to realize the 1,2 leaves you at 0. There's only a few
     characters that can straight up beat out or out-prioritize Law if you do
     1,2 jabs immediately after they block a set of 1,2 jabs. Otherwise, the
     majority of the time, it will result in a draw with both characters
     taking jab damage. If your opponent keeps jabbing after a blocked 1,2 or
     doing some move than overpowers your jabs, simply parry.

     If 1,2 hits, however, it's a whole other story. Like I said before, I
     usually do 1,2~DSS if 1,2 hits because there's so many options. They
     can't really BD or anything to get away so they have to guess what
     you're going to do. And if they do BD, DSS f+1 will catch them. Not to
     mention, DSS f+1 will either go under jabs if they try to jab or CH them
     if they try something slower. You don't have to go into DSS but can do a
     simple grab/low/U/F+4 mix-up. It's just as effective.

WS+3 - This gives +1, but since the move automatically goes into DFS,
     cancelling into DSS right away and mixing it up is the best option. If
     your DSS transition is fast enough (which isn't that hard after this
     move), DSS f+1 cannot be beaten out. Mix it up with DSS f+1 and
     DSS (1+3_2+4) grabs and you're good to go.
     

f+1+2~D - Probably the mother of all frame advantage moves for Law. If you
     do the normal version, you get the same options as above. But if you do
     the ~D version, you get an entirely different list of things to do. 
     First, and most importantly, it gives +4 on block. Second, it throws you
     into crouch. There's three things that can happen after it's blocked.

     WS+4 - This will beat out ANYTHING they try and do. It simply cannot be
     interrupted. If you do WS+4, the best thing to do is ~DSS 2. If they
     tried to beat you out and you hit it CH, the DSS 2 will be garunteed. If
     they ducked, the WS+4 will connect and there's no way they can beat out
     the following DSS 2. If they block, most of the time, they won't try to
     beat out the 2. Either way, the DSS 2 will hit or be blocked and you get
     the options listed above for 2. WS+4~DSS 2 can be interrupted with
     anything 10-frames or less, but if they started doing that mix it up
     with WS+4, parry and that should take care of the problem.

     Slide mix-up - You may be asking yourself, "If they know they're at -4,
     why would they try and attack me?" This is your answer. Since f+1+2~D
     throws you into crouch, you can go immediately into slide mix-up which
     will be talked about soon. If you're quick enough with the slide, it
     makes for a good mix-up for WS+4 since it'll force them to guess low or
     mid if you think they're going to turtle.


3B. Slide Mix-up and the E-slide:
---------------------------------

Slide mix-up is a pretty simple concept. It involves three things: slide,
WS+2 and grabs. There's two different ways you can incorporate the slide
mix-up and both involve knowing how to e-slide.

E-slide - An e-slide, as stated before, is just a really fast slide. The idea
    behind it is to do a slide so fast that your opponent doesn't have time
    to react or so that they have to guess, going off of instinct. This
    simply takes practice.

Slow slide mix-up - There's a few situations where this comes into play. One
    is if you've scared you opponent into turtling so that they don't try to
    attack you while you are doing the slide motion (which from this point on
    will be referred to as Law's CD). You will usually accomplish this by
    nailing them with a couple e-slides and proving that your slide is faster
    than whatever they try to do. In this situation, you want to do a slow CD
    so that they can see the motion of the slide before it comes out. This
    gives them enough time to sweat about it and second-guess themselves.
    If they duck to block the slide, do WS+2 for a juggle.

    Another situation is if your opponent cannot see the slide. You want to
    do it slowly so that you can get the big damage from WS+2.

    The last situation is if your opponent is in such a position where
    they can't beat out anything you can do from slide but they do have
    enough time to block. Just like before, the purpose is to show them the
    motion and make them second-guess themselves.

Fast slide mix-up - This kind of mix-up is used when your opponent likes to
    attack during a slide mix-up. Most of the time, an e-slide will beat out
    or go under whatever it is they're trying to do. However, the point of a
    fast slide mix-up is to do nothing but e-slides so that they don't have
    time to second-guess themselves but have to block on instinct. This is
    really useful if you know what your opponent blocks on reaction. For the
    most part, people will block the slide on reaction so doing a fast CD and
    then a WS+2 is really effective.

Just a note on the CD, sometimes the motion itself will catch people who are
trying to do a low and it will low parry it.

******
Since you have to be in FC to do a slide mix-up, I have compiled a list of
moves that leave you in crouch for prime slide mix-up opportunity.

f+1+2~D - I brushed on the slide mix-up part a little but didn't explain it
     fully. E-slide is a good counterpart to WS+4 because if you're doing a
     correct e-slide, it should be a perfect mix-up. Few things will beat out
     an e-slide from f+1+2~D so it helps in forcing your opponent to turtle.

     You can use either the fast slide mix-up or the slow one depending on
     what you think your opponent likes to do. Sometimes you'll have people 
     attack the slide mix-up if you do a slow version, so in that case switch
     to the fast version.

(U/F_U_U/B)+3 - If you hold D after, you can come out with a slide almost
     immediately when you touch the ground. Doing the backward flip allows
     for a little bit of evasion while coming out with a slide mix-up. Both
     the U and U/F versions are more suited to making your opponent guess.
     Unless your opponent is predicting the flip, it's almost impossible to
     beat out the follow-up 4 (U+3,4, for example). After eating one or two
     of these on CH, your opponent will usually turtle. When this happens, do
     either the U or U/F version and then go into slide mix-up. Usually you
     want to do a fast slide mix-up, but depending on how hard they are
     turtling, you may want to do a slow one.

U/B+4 - The timing is a little tricky to get down because you have to wait a
     couple extra moments after Law hits the ground before you can come out
     with a slide, but this is used for catching your opponent trying to 
     pitbull. That's why I only listed the backwards version. Sometimes, if
     you whiff this people will try and rush you and they'll eat a CH slide.
     Since this takes you quite a distance, you're left in a perfect position
     to do so. There may be times where a WS+2 may connect in which case you
     might want to use it.

d+1 - Most of the properties of this move were discussed earlier in this FAQ,
     but one that was left undiscussed was the fact that you can stay in
     crouch by hold D. This move is a pure guessing game for both players.
     On hit it's 0 and throws the opponent in crouch so both of you are in
     the exact same situation. A simple FC 1 will usually keep people from
     attacking but it's risky because if you get too predictable your
     opponent may low parry your jab for a juggle. However, the reverse may
     happen as well. It may be them doing FC 1 trying to stop you from
     attacking. Either way, just try to get them to turtle after it hits and
     go for a slide mix-up. I would recommend a fast slide mix-up. You can
     also do the same with d+4 but it actually gives you negative advantage
     on hit (not near as much as f,f+4) though most people don't realize it
     or won't risk attacking for fear of the follow-up flip. If that's the
     case, go for a fast slide mix-up.

FC 1_d/b+1 - This is a good medium for slide mix-up because this is one of 
     the easiest moves to stop someone from attacking. If you nail someone CH
     with this, you definately get a couple frames. Most people realize this
     and don't attack for fear that they're going to run into something for a
     CH. Why not go into a slide mix-up? If you do an e-slide immediately
     after nailing one of these, most people don't even see it coming. 

b+2,3,d+4 - I would not recommend this in any way, shape or form, but I
     figured I would at least mention it. You should never really be doing
     this string period but if you do somehow get to that point, hold D after
     the d+4 and you'll stay in crouch.

******

A final note for slide mix-up: if you nail a slide, just get up and go into
the mix-up again. If you nail a slide, a rising 3 is garunteed. But only if
you think it will kill them would you want to do it. Why not go for another
slide mix-up? Much more damage is possible and you can rise long before your
opponent can.

3C. Oki - Keeping Them on the Ground:
-------------------------------------

Law has basic oki set-ups, nothing complex. If you want crazy oki, go play a
character like Ling. I'll break this into three categories: Techrolling, 
rolling away or towards, and staying on the ground.

Techrolling - Unlike some characters, Law has nothing that's garunteed to hit
     if the opponent techrolls when they hit the ground (unless the angles of
     the character's are weird or the camera is at a weird angle or something
     unusual). However, you can play guessing games. If you're close enough,
     I would recommend always doing f+1+2~D because it gives you the sweet
     mix-ups discussed earlier and it's incredibly hard to beat out. You can
     also do grab/b+3 mix-ups. Usually people will start to duck if you throw
     out a grab every time and mix the grabs up well enough to the point
     where they can't break them consistently. If this happens, start
     throwing out b+3's to catch them. b+3, for the most part, is too fast to
     see on reaction, so if they duck, it should catch. If they break your
     grabs consistently, just stick with f+1+2~D or switch to quick moves
     such as d/f+1.

Rolling away or towards - Usually people won't do this against Law because he
     gets a lot of damage off of it. If they are in the Face-Up/Feet-Towards
     or Face-Down/Feet-Away positions and roll, you can get junkyard~DSS 3.
     The b+2 will pick them up and you know the rest from there. If they are
     in one of the other two positions, do f,f+2,1,3 and that should all
     connect.

Staying on the ground - Most of the time, people will just lie on the ground,
     roll to one side and then stand or roll away. Sometimes they'll just
     stand straight up. It all depends on the situation. One of the reasons
     that people try to get up as quick as they can when facing Law is
     his slide does quite a good chunk of damage and if you're fast enough,
     it's hard to get out of if you don't try and get up right away. Most of
     the time d/b+3 or d+1 is garunteed if they stay on the ground, but we
     want to maximize the amount of damage we can get, right? The best 
     position for Law to have his opponent in is Face-Down/Feet-Towards or
     Face-Up/Feet-Away. This is because d/b+3 or d+1 is usually garunteed.
     If they try to roll away, they can usually get out of it, but then you
     can switch to doing f,f+2,1,3 for more damage. The worst thing that they
     can do is try and stand straight up from that position because of
     junkyard.

     If you think that your opponent is going to stand while in one of the
     aforementioned positions, do junkyard. It will catch them standing and
     they will be stuck in BT. All of junkyard will connect and you can
     finish the juggle with any standard juggle finisher in the juggles
     section. The weird thing about junkyard hitting a BT opponent is that as
     long as you do a juggle that is more than one hit, it flips them around
     and you can finish with any standard juggle as if you launched normally.
     This is MASSIVE damage. You can also do d+1, it will also catch them
     rising and the follow-up 3 is garunteed.


3D. The BT Game:
----------------

Law's BT game, in my opinion, is really good, especially with the new BT 2,2
they gave him. There's only two ways you should ever go into BT for a mix-up:
One is 2,2 and the other is d/b+2. Though you can go into BT from b+3, it's
not that useful because they are pushed so far away that nothing will reach.
Sometimes you can get them to run into BT 2,2, but that's only if they're
stupid.

If either d/b+2 or 2,2 hits, they CANNOT beat out BT 2,2 with ANYTHING. This
is good to know for those who like to try and attack after you nail 2,2. When
you go into BT, only mix-up BT 2,2 with BT d+3. A lot of people, when Tekken 5
first came out, said that BT d+4 was a decent mix-up with BT 2,2. The problem
is, that's only true if your opponent tries to GUESS what you're going to do
instead of watching to SEE what you're going to do. BT d+4 is considerably
slower than BT 2,2 so as long as you block high and wait for BT d+4, it will
never catch. This we all know now.

If 2,2 is blocked, it is unsafe especially since you're in BT and they CAN
beat out BT 2,2 with just about anything. However, this is where BT d+3 comes
in as a savior. BT d+3 will beat out just about anything other than the 
generic d+1_FC 1 jab. This means that you're not going to eat any high damage
JS. However, be very wary of this because some people may begin to figure it
out and just let you whiff the BT d+3 and punish. Luckily, BT d+3 has decent
recovery time, so you shouldn't eat many JS. But then again, they may even
begin to low parry it, in which case keep fainting with BT 2 unless you're
absolutely positive they won't go low.

I usually use this BT game in two situations: I block something that's -10
and 2,2 is the most damage I can get or parry~DSS 2,2. I almost ALWAYS do
DSS 2,2 after a regular parry. The idea is to get people so annoyed with the
BT d+3 poke that they either start low parrying or blocking, in which case
you do BT 2,2. 

PRACTICE SEEING IF BT 2 CONNECTS!! This is incredibly important. If you can't
see if BT 2 connects and then finish it, you will be in a world of hurt if
you guess wrong. There is plenty of time to watch and see if BT 2 connects
and then finish with the second 2, it just takes practice. The only time you
should ever finish BT 2,2 is when they block the BT 2 and you think they're
going to attack. By now, most people know that you can delay the second 2 for
a really long time so they won't try and punish the first one. But every now
and again people get antsy and you have to remind them that you can still do
a second hit.

If you nail BT 2,2, usually if you run up d/b+3 is garunteed. You have to get
up incredibly fast to block it and that happens so rarely, I'm still not sure
if it's possible 100% of the time. If you nail BT d+3, it gives you a frame
or so, so if they try and attack you can do something like WS+4 or WS+2 and
it should beat whatever they do out since BT d+3 pushes a decent distance
away. And if they turtle you can go into slide mix-up.




3E. Law as a Pitbull:
---------------------

Law is an excellent pitbull because of all of his quick, powerful strikes 
such as 1,2,3 or qcf+1,2,1,2. He has a relatively easy time keeping his
opponent in disadvantage so continuing a barrage of jabs, quick lows and
grabs is fairly easy to do.

The downside of this style with Law is that he still retains his SS problems
from T4. The majority of his SS catching tools are slow. b+3 definately
helped in that area, but it's still a major weakness. If people catch on to
your flow and start SSing, you better be ready to throw some b+3's or
f+1+2~D's to catch it.



3F. Law as a Turtle:
--------------------

Law is also an excellent turtle. His fast jabs and kicks can also be used to
stop anyone from trying to turn it around and put Law in frame lockdown. His
parry keeps people at bay since it leads to garunteed damage and cannot be
chickened or escaped. And he also gets massive juggle damage if he low
parries or guesses right when he blocks.

The downside to this is that it almost completely eliminates slide mix-up
which is arguably the biggest part of Law's game. Grabs are practically
useless considering that your opponent has to turtle in order for you to get
the time you need to throw a grab out. If Law is the one turtling, he cannot
effectively do that. Slow moves are not a good option either considering that
your opponent will most certainly be using fast jabs and kicks to prevent you
from inflicting massive CH damage on them.



3G. Putting It All Together:
----------------------------

Law can neither be a true pitbull or a true turtle. He must have a little of
both. He is probably a more effective turtle when he uses pitbull tactics to
bait his opponent into CHs.

Law, like most other characters, requires a flow of sorts. You have to be
good at predicting what your opponent is going to do so that you can respond
accordingly. Law has many weapons, so know them and your opponent inside and
out and you will make Law very dangerous.



II4. Garunteed Follow-ups and Wall Stuns
------------------------------------------------

This section is a list I have compiled of all the garunteed follow-ups that
are possible when a certain event occurs. These are not juggles in the normal
sense but rather moves that are just garunteed in certain situations. I did
not include strings that should hit (such as 1,1,2) that are garunteed if the
first hit connects, connects CH, etc.

CH u/f+1 - As stated before, you can get as much as 4,3 after this.

f+1+2~D - Just like it always has, if this move hits non-CH they'll flop
     backwards and be stunned on the ground momentarily. Well, now that you
     can go into crouch and recover faster, e-slide is garunteed.

BT 1 - Very slow, but if it connect, b+2 is garunteed. There are a couple of
     options they have. If they try to do any move BT, they will be turned
     around but b+2 will hit CH. In that case, the b+2,3 is garunteed. They
     can also do a grab. If this happens, they will still eat the b+2 but it
     will turn them around and they can block the 3. Luckily, they can't low
     parry it. If they don't try to do anything, b+2 will hit and leave them
     in BT in which case d+2,3 is most definately the best option because
     there's only one way to escape it and that's doing the grab. If they do
     this, simply duck after b+2 and punish their grab with WS+2.

DSS f+1 - If they don't do the pop-up (hold F after it hits), run-up and
     d/b+4 is garunteed.

1,...,2,f+2,1+2 - As with DSS f+1, if they do not do the spring-up, d/b+4 is
     garunteed.

CH WS+3 - You can get CH WS+3~DSS 3 but it's somewhat difficult and DSS f+1
     does a little more damage and gives better follow-ups.


d/b+4 - At least d/b+3 is garunteed. If you're opponent is too slow, slide is
     definately the better option.


CH WS+4 - As mentioned before, ~DSS 2 is garunteed.


II5. Punishing
------------------

The most detailed compilation of punishing knowledge is currently being
assembled here:

http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=75053

It's a thread titled "Law - unsafe attack punishing guide of doom" in the
Marshall Law forums where we are working on listing every move that is
punishable with every character and by what. At the time of this FAQ we have
10 characters done. I will update this FAQ once we have every character done.

If you want specifics on a certain character or move, that's where you should
go. However, I will outline briefly what punishing is and what you would
normally use.

Punishing implies one of two things: Either a move is being punished after it
has been blocked or a move is being punished after it has whiffed. For moves
that whiff you must use your best judgement and use a move that you believe
will connect before your opponent recovers. Most of the time you should go
something quick like 1,2/2,2/hopkick. Hopkick is, by far, the fastest non-CH
JS that Law has, so use that to your advantage.

As far as blocking a move and punishing goes, you must also use your best
judgement. This is more a trial and error thing than whiff-punishing because
whiff-punishing depends on range, whether you where in the middle of some
move, etc. When you block a move, range may still be a factor but you are 
given a set amount of frames for recovery to work with. More often than not,
there are ten different types of punishers that you will use:

1,2 or 1,1,2 - These are your quick jabs. If one hits, the rest is garunteed,
     so if there's a move that is -9 or -8 on block, this is your punisher.

2,2 - This is the idle punisher for -10 or -11.

b+2 - Usually only used in situations where a move has bad recovery but is
     relatively safe because of distance, such as Paul's qcf+2.

4,3 or f+4,3 - f+4,3 is a tad bit slower than 4,3. Both of these you would
     use in the same situations as 2,2 and considering that more damage is
     possible because of BT mix-ups off of 2,2, it's all preference.

hopkick (u/f+4) - This is your quick JS punisher. Generally, d/f+2 will
     punish in the same situations, but hopkick is a couple frames faster.

WS+2 and WS+4 - If a move is low or throws you into crouch, these are the two
     punishers you will use. One is quick, the other is slow but launches.

U/F+4 - This is the big damage launcher that you will use when you block
     moves with horrible recovery.

******

Law gets a garunteed juggle when he low parries a move. He can always get a
hopkick off of either low parry, but he can get U/F+4,3 off of a low kick
parry for massive damage. See the juggles section for more information on
what the best juggle is.


II6. Character Specific Match-ups
------------------------------------

If you visit the Marshall Law forums on tekkenzaibatsu.com, we have quite a
few character threads already done, so if you have questions, right now that
is the place to go. Eventually, in future updates, I hope to have this
section complete with every character. If you're having trouble against
certain characters, just go onto the boards and ask in the respective thread.




III. Juggles
_____________________________________________________________________________

Make sure you read the notes at the bottom of this section if you're having
trouble getting juggles to work, there may be a reason why. Also, it will be

*If there is more than one juggle starter listed for any one particular
juggle, the damage listed is for the juggle only. It does NOT include the
damage for the JS. In other words, it's just the base damage for the juggle
itself.

**If a juggle is listed with an optional [f+], the juggle damage will increase
by 1 for every [f+] listed if you opt to perform the [f+](s). 

***If any other optional [] commands are listed, there will also be an extra
damage value listed under the "Damage" column within a pair of []. That
damage value is based on if you perform the optional hit.

****Usually, the higher damage or "flashier" the juggle, the harder the
difficulty.

*****Spaces denote slight pauses between strings. They're there mostly to
make it easier to read.

Juggles notes - Help with hitting juggles and which one you should use
----------------------------------------------------------------------

First, if there is a dash listed in the juggle, more often than not, it's
required. But there are some cases where dashes are not needed but simply
make the juggle easier to hit. Also, I don't specify how far the dash is
suppose to take you, so mess with it. If a short dash works for you, go for
it.

If you're having trouble doing a ~DSS transition fast enough, hit up the
tekkenzaibatsu.com forums and ask people for help. We've had numerous people
ask about ~DSS juggles, so chances are you won't even have to ask, just look
around and read all the advice we've given to people in the past. The same
goes for f,f+2,1,3 juggles.

The juggles that you use when you actually play a real match are called
"staple" juggles. Eventually, most juggles will fade away into a "flashy" or
"not as useful" category and a couple of juggles will be left standing that
you should use in real matches. When you first start off, chances are you're
going to use something easy until you can hit the higher damage, more useful
juggles consistently.

Right now, the top three staple juggles for standard juggle launchers are:
4,u+3, [dash, (1_2)], f,f+2,1,3
dash, 2, dash, 4,3,4~DSS 3+4
[f+]4, junkyard~DSS 3

That may change in the future if more powerful/useful juggles come to light,
but it looks like it's going to stay that way for a while. The first two are
because they're the most damaging and are incredibly useful in wall stages
(explained in the next section). The third one is still alive only because
the chances of missing it are almost nil if you've used it enough so you'll
see it when a player doesn't want to chance anything and just wants to end a
round. Plus, it's what everyone was using when T5 first came out.

In later updates, I will most likely add less damaging, but easier juggles
for those who are having trouble hitting the ones I have listed. This is by
no means the end-all-be-all list of juggles and will definately grow.


IV. Walls
_____________________________________________________________________________

There are two types of wall splats: High and low. Both can be to different
extents in that sometimes a low wall splat will be so low that nothing is
garunteed off of it. I'm not going to list everything you can do but just
the most damaging or common things you'll see.

For high wall splat:
     f+4, 4,3,4 - 45 damage
     f+4, f+1,2,f+2,1+2 - 46 damage

Low wall splat:
     f+4,3,4 - 31 damage 
     f+1,2,f+2,1+2 - 32 damage

There are a few strategies to incorporate when you're in a wall stage. One,
learn to use moves such as 1,1,1,1,2,3 and b+3 to push your opponent to the
wall. It's not necessary to hit them with it since they travel just as far if
your opponent blocks them. Also keep in mind that you can use the same moves
to get yourself out of a corner.

Guiding your opponent into the wall with juggles is also key. Of the two main
staple juggles, 2, 4,3,4~DSS 3+4 can be stopped at any point and result in a
wall splat, with the exception of the last hit which you may be too close to
get anything off of. 

The other, 4,u+3, f,f+2,1,3 you must alter a little. Both 4 and u+3 will
result in good wall splats, but f,f+2,1,3 will result in bad wall splats in
that nothing is garunteed if they hit the wall. To rectify this, replace
f,f+2,1,3 with dash, 1,2,f+2,2. If you stop at any of those hits, they will
give good wall splats.

A simpler approach that some people use if they're somewhat close to the wall
is simply use jab fillers. These can be used after any JS and work very well.
An example of a jab filler would be 1,2,3. Their sole purpose is to travel as
far as possible and get the opponent to hit the wall for more damage. Jab
fillers will not yield as much damage as the staple juggles, but they get the
job done.

There are also side wall splats that are explained in the basics FAQ. Most of
the time, doing one jab and then finishing with something like f,f+2,1,3 will
give you the easist juggle with good damage. There are numerous follow-ups
depending on the situation, but it's better to get what you know you can than
try something that may not hit. Sometimes they may hit at an angle where you
won't be able to get anything or very little like a jab or 4.

A special note for b+3. If you hit someone with b+3 (and go into BT) into a
wall, the best option is BT 2,2.

Just a final note, if anyone says that walls are dumb, ignore it. It's part of
the game and sometimes it'll screw you, but learn to deal with it.
     


V. Conclusion
_____________________________________________________________________________

Just like with every other character, you have to have a feel with Law to
make him work for you. It just takes practice. I've given you all the good
things I know, so do with it what you will. The whole point of this FAQ is to
give you the tools you need to mold your own style of play. I don't try to
dictate what you can and can't do, but I do give advice. You can either
accept it or ignore it. I will say this, though: If I say that something
isn't good, it's for a good reason. I'm not saying so simply because I don't
like the move, set-up, whatever. I have reasons behind everything. If there's
no difference between two things and they yield they same result, I will say
so and tell you it's guided by preference. Plus, this guide was partially
created from other people giving ME advice and telling ME what's good and
what isn't. My only hope is that this FAQ was useful to someone.


VI. Customizations, Arcade Mode and Other Useless Junk
_____________________________________________________________________________

This FAQ is designed to help you get better at the game, not get all the
customized items for Law or get Tekken Lord ranking. I don't even care if you
can't beat the computer. If you can't beat another person, then I'm all ears.
If you want to know how to do all the superfluous stuff, hit up the site I've
referenced a buttload of times already: www.tekkenzaibatsu.com. If you can't
find it there, I don't know it and have no clue where you could possibly
find it.


VII.  A Final Thank You, Credits/Links and Contact Info
_____________________________________________________________________________

I'd like to thank every single person who has contributed anything in the Law
forums that has creeped its way into this FAQ. I can't name names because it
would be impossible to look up every single thing everyone has said and
reference it, but you guys know who you are. 99% of any info I didn't come
up with came from those forums. I'd also like to thank that other 1% who
I've talked to in-person and have given me helpful tips and new information.

Lastly, I'd like to thank www.tekkenzaibatsu.com for being up and making the
Tekken scene what it is. The information there is priceless and is by far the
best site that has anything to do with Tekken on the web. All of the basics
that you should know and I've referenced in this FAQ you can find there. Big
props to Castel, the man running the show. Those combo vids gave me a head
start on making the juggle list.
