Overview

Tien (AKA Tenshinhan or Tianjinfan) is a student of the Crane School (the enemy of Roshi's own Turtle Style) and was one of Goku's greatest childhood rivals. Accompanied by his doll-like companion, Chaotzu, Tien has continued to pursue strength as a martial artist throughout the series and is considered the series' strongest full-blooded human fighter. During the Saiyan and Android sagas, Tien played secondary though important roles in the final outcomes.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Tien is a well-rounded fighter who can break through his opponents' defenses with the help of Chiaotzu. With the best-scaling supers in the game, Tien is especially useful as an anchor to switch in and finish stubborn opponents.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Solid mixup game; having multiple lows and a fast command grab when he has the meter to burn. He can also use 214S in the corner to setup his pressure.
  • Can score a sliding knockdown in almost every situation with Volleyball Fist (after a j. 2H, he can convert with j. 236M).
  • Very high damage output when he has the resources to burn. Both of his level 3 supers boast some of the highest damage output in the game, allowing him to finish off opponents very easily.
  • Very strong with sparking; the ability to jump cancel out of any move gives him a very strong vortex. The self-inflicted damage from Tri-beam and Neo Tri-beam is also halved, making it less dangerous.
  • Dodon Ray is an amazing assist. It can be used to control neutral and to extend combos.
  • SHIIIIIN KIKOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  • Below average neutral game; Dodon Ray has a small hitbox, allowing for easy counter play by opponents. Additionally, his normals are a bit on the stubby side, not having any normals that lunge him forward.
  • Without sparking, the amount of life that he loses with Tri-beam and Neo Tri-beam is quite severe, making him vulnerable to being downed if not careful.
  • Unremarkable damage without meter or assist usage.

M guardpoint
  • Tien strikes a pose, gaining guard point before doing a sliding low attack.
  • Press additional buttons on hit-confirm to extend the special.
  • Guard point does not activate on frame 1, but it’s very early.
  • Blocks projectiles, mid and low attacks.
  • Loses to throws, supers, and overheads. Which is ironic since it's a volleyball bump.
  • Due to having guard point, this version will scale your combos and followups more than L version.

Even though only the pose has autoguard, successfully blocking incoming attack will make the slide invulnerable to strikes and projectiles that aren't Supers. If timed correctly, Tien can go right through beams.

  • A short ranged command grab that costs one bar.
  • Follow-up hits are automatic and cannot be vanished out of.
  • Stays same side.
  • Causes a sliding knockdown.
  • Scales like 236M.

An useful tool to confuse someone who's blocking too much in a corner.

An important tool if you want to reposition yourself behind the enemy. Usually most useful if the "wall" behind you is closer than the one in front of you.

  • Leaves Tien enough time to land j.M.

By delaying button press so that Tien doesn't do Follow-up 2, you can start air combos with this.


  • Damage depends on what the starter is. Starts with 236L will do more damage than 236M.
  • All version launches the enemy vertically and follows them into the air.
  • Pressing an additional button will cause Tien to slam the enemy to the ground.

  • Knocks the opponent even further away into a sliding knockdown.
  • Using this after the H version of Follow-up 1 will keep Tien grounded for additional combos.

  • Damage depends on what the starter is. Starts with 236L will do more damage than 236M.
  • If you time it perfectly on any version, it does extra damage and has Smash property.

  • Requires Chiaotzu. Won't come out when Chiaotzu is still on screen or after he self-destructs.
  • Can be blocked.
  • Every third use will not work and will leave Tien vulnerable.
  • Can hit aerial opponents.

Freezes the opponent in place, allowing for a followup combo. Best used in the corner after a knockdown.

Assist

Dodon Ray
A1/A2
Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Is very unique as a beam assist, since it pops the opponent up instead of sending them towards the wall, allowing for better midscreen confirms.
  • Allows for longer combos due to the single hit compared to other multi hitting beam assists.

  • Does unrecoverable 1000 damage to Tien.
  • Tien cannot die from self damage, and can use this even at 1 HP.
  • Will only take half self damage during Sparking (500 per use).
  • Minimum damage is 960. This is the second highest damaging Lv1 Super at max scaling, losing to Base Goku's Kaioken x3 and x20.

Additinal Hits
  • 3 bar super. Holding down the buttons allows him to tack on additional damage at the cost of one meter per extension. Deals unrecoverable damage to Tien on use.
  • First hit does 1000 damage to Tien, then 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500.
  • Tien cannot die from self damage, and can do the first beam even at 1 HP.
  • Will only take half self damage during Sparking (500 at 3 bars, 4000 at 7)
  • If Tien doesn’t have enough health to continue, the Super will stop regardless of remaining meter.
  • Minimum damages for all beams are 1800, 550*4.

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ
  • Travels in a straight horizontal line, level with the enemy when the move as initiated.
  • Cannot be cancelled into but can be comboed into.
  • Can hit aerial opponents, but whiffs on crouching ones.
  • Won't come out if Chiaotzu is still doing Telekinesis.
  • On hit, both this super and the Telekinesis special can no longer be performed for the rest of the match.
  • Minimum damage is 2160. This is the highest damaging Lv3 Super at max scaling, not counting Supers that you can spend more bars on.
  • Guaranteed to make your audience yell for Chiaotzu.

While the maximum output of this super is lower than Neo Tri-beam, the damage scaling on this move makes it an absurd combo finisher. It's also handy to catch people unawares toward the end of a match, especially if they've got a health disadvantage and are prone to blocking.
