Hunting, also known as Hunting Style in Japan or Hunting Bear Stance colloquially, is a stance used by Kuma II and Panda since Tekken Tag Tournament.
During Tekken Tag Tournament, however, not doing anything for a while will cause the user to automatically exit the stance and movement must be done by repeatedly tapping forward or back. Later games would keep the user in the stance indefinitely, but the player can input u to exit the stance. Furthermore, moving can be done by holding b or f as opposed to repeated inputs.
From Tekken Tag Tournament 2 to Tekken 7, it is still possible to low parry an opponent normally. Since Tekken 8, the user can now perform a standing block by holding b, while the low parry is now automatic when holding f.
