Default keyboard controls for Tekken 8 on PC, based on the game's primary keyboard preset. This reference covers directional movement, the four attack limbs (Left/Right Punch, Left/Right Kick), and combined system actions like throws, Heat and Rage Art. Tekken uses a 4-button limb system (1=Left Punch, 2=Right Punch, 3=Left Kick, 4=Right Kick), so most special actions are simultaneous button presses.
