Steve Fox

Steve Fox (スティーブ・フォックス) is a character in the Tekken series, first appearing in Tekken 4, and has returned for all subsequent games. He is a young British boxer who was adopted at a young age, and whose origins long remained shrouded in mystery. Throughout the games, Steve's main objective has been to learn more about his past, including the origin of the mysterious scar on his arm, and to get revenge against those responsible. With his debut in Tekken 4, it was revealed that he is the biological son of Nina Williams, his conception carried out synthetically by the Mishima Zaibatsu. Later in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Tekken 7, it was further revealed that the Zaibatsu ordered his conception in order to get themselves a new, more durable test subject for their experiments. Steve is an unorthodox counterhit and rushdown character. As a boxer, he does not use kicks, with the kick buttons instead acting as evasive boxing weaves. He excels at suffocating his opponent with endless pokes and strings, chipping them down if they freeze up, and counterhitting them if they swing back in desperation. His infamous Quick Hook (b+1) is the best counterhit tool in Tekken 8, which combined with his many other counterhits off of strings and other moves, allow him to greatly benefit from getting a beat on his opponent's timing. Steve's moveset has a very freeform and flexible approach towards structuring his offense. Overall, he is a technical character that takes a great amount of time to practice.
