MARDUK BASIC GUIDE - TEKKEN 7 (BASIC TO PRO)

Craig Marduk in Tekken 7 is built around command grabs, stance transitions, and ground control—mechanics that define his playstyle at every level. This guide breaks down his core toolkit across nearly 50 minutes, starting with punishment options after blocking standing and while-standing attacks, then moving into his grab arsenal and the mount/tackle system that gives him unique positioning advantages. The neutral game section covers his primary moves and spacing, followed by ground grabs and how to convert them into damage. Combo routing gets dedicated focus, including wall bounces and how to maximize damage in corner situations. The Vale Tudo Stance—his signature tool—receives introduction here with a note that deeper coverage comes later. The final segments connect everything together through wall combos and show how to use his Rage Drive and Rage Art to close rounds. King Jae structures this as a progression from defense and punishment through neutral play to offense, making it useful whether you're learning Marduk's fundamentals or refining your execution on his more technical sequences.
