How do you block an attack when playing tekken?

Question

You see, It's been a long time since I've played tekken. I suddenly had the mood to play it, then I seem to "suck" because I forgot which buttons to press if I have to block an attack. I know that this question should be in the Video Games section, but I seem to trust you guys more since Tekken is a fighting game and I know that there is a connection to this section since it has martial arts inside. Can you guys tell me which buttons I have to press If I have to block an attack? Tnx!

Answer 1

With most fighting games, i have found that the general way to block is by pushing the button that leads away from ur opponent, EG

opponent on ur right, push left;

Opponent on ur left, push right.

Hope this helps (and that im correct)

Answer 2
