Adaptational Angst Downgrade: Despite Tekken: Bloodline being an adaptaion of Tekken 3, and it making clear Ogre attacked a bunch of characters from Tekken 2, with Baek being one of the confirmed victims who disappeared, at no point is Hwoarang's desire for revenge against Ogre mentioned even when Ogre shows up at the end, likely to not take focus away from Jin's own revenge against Ogre.Hwoarang can be stymied by a solid defense and has poor whiff-punishment, requiring a good Hwoarang player to memorize stances and the movements between them, never let up the pressure once it's been applied, and read their opponent well enough to account for their defense. This gives him a truly absurd number of mix-ups. Hwoarang has six stances depending on his orientation to his opponent, the position of his feet, and whether or not he is in his raised-leg Flamingo stance, each with their own comprehensive moveset. Hwoarang is an relentlessly offensive mix-up/rushdown character who specializes in keeping an opponent off balance, applying huge damage through branching combos to prevent opponents from escaping the Cycle of Hurting.
