In Tekken 8, Fahkumram lets you show off his Muay Thai mastery against anyone and anything that stands in his way. Here it is Detailed instructions on how to play Fahkumram in Tekken 8.
Overview of Fahkumram in Tekken 8
Fahkumram was the first Muay Thai fighter to join Tekken 8’s cast in the game’s second season, which has so far caused quite a bit of controversy. However, he is a character that stands out for his ability to deliver brutal blows to his opponents, while forcing them to guess the direction of their attack.
Fahkumram is also a stamina machine, thanks to his ability to block punches and kicks, making him a formidable opponent when attempting to attack from afar. Although it is relatively easy to get used to, easy to press buttons and easy to observe developments, this character is not necessarily easy to play for Tekken beginners.
Overall, it takes a while to get used to Fahkumram, as his convergent stances are important to the strategy, but come in many different variations with and without Garuda Force activated. And Garuda Force is a completely different matter, which can make him terrifying if you know how to use it!

Tips for playing Fahkumram effectively in Tekken 8
First of all, while most characters’ d/f 1 attack is a pretty good close-range attack option, as it usually has a 13-frame start-up time, it gives you advantage when hit and slightly disadvantage when blocked, making it a safe choice to cast. However, with Fahkumram, his d/f 1 attack has a slightly slower start-up time, at 15 frames, which makes it not an effective close-range attack option.
Luckily, he also has other moves that make this less of a concern, such as the Aiyara: High (d/f 1, 4) combo, which can be used as a tool to punish opponents when they miss, as the second attack is Heat Engager, which allows you to intentionally land the first attack, miss, then force the opponent to react with a button press on attack 4, exposing you to Heat Engager for massive damage.
Combine this with all of his other abilities and you’ll quickly understand why Fahkumram is so scary once he’s on the move and causing his opponents to make mistakes, not to mention his tanking ability, Garuda Force charge, and countless other skills that this character possesses.
