Fahkumram’s Vibe: Muay Thai Powerhouse
The Tekken 8 Fahkumram is a towering Muay Thai legend with tattoos inspired by a Thai monkey temple. His kit blends long-range kicks, tanky armor, and simple inputs, making him beginner-friendly yet deadly. Slower startups balance his raw power, but his Grue Force Charge buffs unlock devastating strings. Perfect for players who love hard-hitting, calculated brawls!
Grue Force Charge: Amp Up the Pain
Activate Tekken 8 Fahkumram’s Grue Force Charge by landing moves like Down+4+1, Forward+4+1, or Back+4+3+2. This buff (auto-active in Heat mode) unlocks new strings, like the Tekken 7 Bridge Drive, and powers up charged Tornado Kick or Erupting Knee. Blocked charges shift Fahkumram to Ramoe Stance, forcing opponents into a mix-up with:
- Unsafe low
- Safe mid (jails, +1 on block)
- Slow but lockable high
- Threat Brazil move
Feint charged attacks with Forward or counter sidesteps with a Back-held homing attack.
Top Normals: Fahkumram’s Heavy Hitters
Here’s the Tekken 8 Fahkumram move arsenal you need:
- 3+4: 18-frame mid, knocks down on hit, safe at -9, tracks right.
- Forward+4+3: 21-frame low, +4 on hit, -14 on block, tracks right.
- Down+4+2: 19-frame low, +4 on hit, -14 on block, combo on counter hit.

These moves give Fahkumram range and pressure, but watch for sidesteps and punishers!

- 12-Frame: 2+1 (most damage, knockdown).

For big punishes, use Up+4 (23-frame hop kick) or While Standing+3 for launchers. Wall combos like While Standing+4 maximize damage.
