However, he is also one of the best competitive characters, thanks to some buffs in Season 3.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" paraeid=\"{a38fea55-0c75-4e28-898c-d5ccd8f73b39}{123}\" paraid=\"1910475102\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">His combos can yield quite a lot of damage if you can pull them off correctly, starting with his powerful&nbsp;hopkick. While Claudio still has some weaknesses, he just managed to sneak his way into our top 10.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" paraeid=\"{a38fea55-0c75-4e28-898c-d5ccd8f73b39}{123}\" paraid=\"1910475102\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Claudio is one of those characters that can be easy to learn for new players, while still contend at top-level play, which is why he deserves a spot on this list. Check out the fantastic guide video by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCVY3hE2vluasOgc7a5dT_Lg\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;King Jae<\/a>&nbsp;above.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\" lang=\"EN-US\" paraeid=\"{a38fea55-0c75-4e28-898c-d5ccd8f73b39}{135}\" paraid=\"589905580\" role=\"heading\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Conclusion&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" paraeid=\"{a38fea55-0c75-4e28-898c-d5ccd8f73b39}{147}\" paraid=\"52554231\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">While everyone has their own personal&nbsp;favourite(s) in any fighting game, these top and best 10 Tekken 7 characters have all earned the place on our list. Keep in mind that Bandai Namco does plan on making balance adjustments before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/tekken\/book-triumphs-controversial-tekken-7-finals-evo-japan\">Tekken World Tour 2020<\/a> kicks off.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" paraeid=\"{a38fea55-0c75-4e28-898c-d5ccd8f73b39}{147}\" paraid=\"52554231\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">There&#8217;s also an update coming in mid-February (Version 3.21) to look out for. When an update with several balance adjustments hits, it can really shake up the metagame and the power rankings of some characters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There will always be a passionate discussion when it comes to which characters in a fighting game are the best.
