You can’t assume that just because the other opponents health is low and yours is high that you will win, it’s Tekken and he fucked around and found out quick. Great match.
Tekken and Soul Calibur for me are the only fighting games where the more you learn by playing is like unlocking a whole new tier of abilities that were already accessible to you from jump but now you got the mindset on how to use em. Plus Tekken 8's training modes are tailored to really hone your craft.
@Mightykeef In Tekken, homing and tracking are not used interchangeably. Moves that are homing can catch any sidestepping player no matter where (provided they're in range) and how they step (homing moves have the cyan parallel lines when you use them). Moves that track are not homing moves (so no parallel lines) but normally track well on a certain side, meaning the move can still hit you depending on what side u step on. For example, if you sidestep left and still get hit by that move, it means that move tracks sidestep left. But if you sidestep right against that same move, that move cannot hit you.
Two things, 1) Tekken is very knowledge based so don’t beat yourself up if you don’t know match ups right away. I’m also just learning Tekken and it def is hard 2) movement is so elite for Tekken, sidesteps and backdashes are your friend
Side Stepping is a thing you have to do with purpose. Yes, it's for evading certain attacks, but you have to know what you're evading. If you're side stepping, you're not blocking so if you're just throwing out side steps hoping to dodge something you're gonna die. And don't forget, you can use side steps on offense if you know your opponent's gonna swing on you after you hit them.
I’ve been playing SF6 since launch and played every SF game since 2 back in the day. I was one of those street fighter fan boys. Haven’t played a Tekken game since 4 and that’s was at a buddies house. This my first Tekken since 4 and I have not gone back to street fighter 6 since. This game is just too good and has everything I wanted in a fighting game.
Bro, been watching you for years, I am liking the commentary change and is here for the journey and the laughs 😂 I have no idea how far back this is and what your rank is now, but hopefully when you hit that wall the game doesnt become a depressing mess and still fun for you.
I'm happy you're loving Tekken. There's really no need to learn the advance stuff unless you're rising higher in rank or if you want to get more serious playing it. Also, if you want to avoid lags in the game, decline matches for wifi players, I tried giving them a chance in the beginning, but they're all really bad experiences.
I have issues executing it but sidestep is great for avoiding poke jabs in close range. You can even weave some of those quick punch strings that are normally safe on block if you mix in crouches at the right time. It’s basically every characters mid version of Steve’s Dempsey rolls.
Keef, i hope that 1: you’re having fun & open to learning/ expanding your fighting moves repertoire over your time in Tekken. But most importantly #2: that would hopefully mean Tekken Keef is coming back soon smiling & millyrocking like he usually does😅
Must say keef it warms my heart that u love tekken as a long time fan of this channel but it warms my heart even more that u kinda nice with the combos and decisions during your match.
If your wondering about side stepping in tekken it matters alot. But here is the thing there is side stepping moves (up up, or down down) then there is sidewalking (up up+hold, down down+hold) and there is a diffrence between the two. Some moves require side stepping and some requires side walking. The main thing is understanding when to use both and mainly knowing a characters bad side, each character have a bad side where a majority of their moves miss to that side but you still have to becareful. Once you understand that you gotta start looking at moves or strings you lose to see if you can duck or sidewalk or step those moves.
A tip for learning how to utilise sidestep. Start with just using it to avoid your opponent's long range approach tools. It's so easy I'm sure it'll work out for you first try!
When you perform a Sidestep normally you are only safe from attacks with the same side of the limb attacking. So if Kazuya does his electric (right fist) you need to perform a side step to the right. So right or left matters. Sorry, English is not my native language. I enjoy your content anyway.
I've never played a Tekken game before but this one does look pretty cool. If you're looking for interesting fighting games, Checkmate Showdown is pretty cool (combines chess with a 2D fighter).
Welcome home to Tekken. Ive tried most fighting games, but Telken by far has forced me to extract skills I never knew I had. The space to have creativity in Tekken and mind gymnastics always keeps me on my toes
Also enjoying Tekken 8 and also playing Victor Chevalier! This game got me in more than I thought, I wasn't even supposed to buy the game and now 3 weeks in I can't stop playing.
Side stepping is useful after you download your opponents. Forcing a whiff and punishing it is free damage. Once you’re used to the game it’ll make more sense
As a Victor player when you're at distance use your gun which then puts you into Iai stance for some fun mix ups. The best is the foot stomp into your sword....or just keep foot stomping them.
You need to sidewalk not just sidestep. Tap up or down twice and hold on the second tap the character will just keep walking to the side it'll help you evade a lot more attacks.
I agree, Tekken 8 goes way harder than I thought it would. I have SF6 as well, but I've only played it a few times; I thought I would get into it after not playing SF for a long time, but it just hasn't held my interest any. The last Tekken I got into was T6, so this was such a welcomed surprise! I was labbing Nina for like almost 2 hours just having fun putting together my B&B combos. With her and Jun being back, I'm good on my day 1 mains! Now I'm just waiting on Julia and Lidia! Also the way you came back on that Jack-8 was 🔥 and funny as hell 😂
Tekken is that one game I can play ranked and if I get absolutely bodied I legit just say gg let's throw hands again and then on to the next, I really feel Tekken is so much more fun to work for the rank and if I struggle it's something new to learn and overcome later, plus this Tekken is just so damn good with the new mechanics like god damn I love heat in this game! Tekken is just so damn fun!
You speaking facts. It’s almost as if you’re ascending once you finally go into a ranked match where you were struggling again and just become a better player off of it. This Tekken is amazing
It depends how you side stepped left or right on certain moves you have to be on the opposite side also you may have to use side step walk to avoid a bit better but every character does have a universal counter attack so you have to test what are the tracking moves
Just remember glue them eye balls to what limbs come at you left is right and right is left I hope ……. ( epic twist plot theme playing) yesss he fell for my trap card activation
King main here, been playing for a little over 5 years now. I'm definitely not a pro, but I find that sidestep is more effective just outside of jab range. If you're super up-close, block > punish. But a lot of front kicks/lunge moves have range but don't track, so sidesteps are especially effective here. You also typically have sidestep attacks, so have those ready when you see a "poke" coming. King does have a tracking back-heel that's got good range and combats sidestepping, so definitely use a grain of salt with my recommendation above. 👍
Everyone think they're a beast in the lower rankings. Once they get to the tougher opponents, they start playing beach volleyball and dress up. Keep posting T8 so we can see the growth.
4:16 some moves you need to side walk to avoid side stepping won't be enough also you need to know which direction you should go Nonetheless amazing Victor gameplay there hope you have fun in the game

Tekken 8 skit tomorrow! Evo lineup skit and xbox skit after that!
Bro make a skit about Tekken 8 please 🥺
Hell yeah finally!!!!
What happened to Evo skits? It was the reason why I subscribed to your channel.
It isn't an Evo or FGC GO-whatever parody without you around.
Looking forward to it bro
Lets gooooooo
"87 on ya head!" Gotta put that on a t-shirt Keef
You can’t assume that just because the other opponents health is low and yours is high that you will win, it’s Tekken and he fucked around and found out quick. Great match.
This nigga keef is just to funny bruh
8:52 😂😂😂 Best comeback ever!
That shot was crazy

Exactly what I was thinking. You can force a whiff if you sidestep right and backdash out of strings.
Yep, and low sweeping kicks are for area control, so a single sidestep doesn't avoid them.
Either jump or backstep.

ITS TIME BOYS! Lets see this man get folded and do some folding
8:51 Greatest comeback ever! 🔥
Got a trophy off his ass!😂
8:41 best part of the video starts here 👍🏼
I’ve been playing SF6 since launch and played every SF game since 2 back in the day. I was one of those street fighter fan boys. Haven’t played a Tekken game since 4 and that’s was at a buddies house. This my first Tekken since 4 and I have not gone back to street fighter 6 since. This game is just too good and has everything I wanted in a fighting game.
Same I went back 2day to make sure I wasn't rusty than back to tekken I went
Ayee I’ve been loving Tekken 8 and now one of my favorites is playing too, boi that’s just crazy!!!
Tekken has always been the king of fighting games.
Bro, been watching you for years, I am liking the commentary change and is here for the journey and the laughs 😂
I have no idea how far back this is and what your rank is now, but hopefully when you hit that wall the game doesnt become a depressing mess and still fun for you.
I am so happy to see so many content creators jumping on tekken now. 😁
Everyone should play fighting games :D

Okay I just need more of you doing fighting game shenanigans this commentary is GOLD
Aye we need more of this😂😂this was fun as hell to watch. Any other characters you gonna try keef?
Fuck yeah my dude. Always glad to hear more people joining the OG Tekken fam
Nice to see another 2D enthusiast getting hooked into Tekken :)
Keef, i hope that 1: you’re having fun & open to learning/ expanding your fighting moves repertoire over your time in Tekken.
But most importantly #2: that would hopefully mean Tekken Keef is coming back soon smiling & millyrocking like he usually does😅
You definitely have a great mindset for fighting games I’m excited to see your journey!
Gatt damn what a dope change of pace 😊 keep it up!
4:40 Blastin on the ceiling 😂
Must say keef it warms my heart that u love tekken as a long time fan of this channel but it warms my heart even more that u kinda nice with the combos and decisions during your match.
Imagine if Victor got a low taper fade
Victor done took everyone for that ride 😂😂
That comeback round is crazy, plus hilarious commentary too. 😂
He did a roundhouse low kick thingy. Think about it like this. If the opponent rotates with a move it usually hits a side step
The best commentary of real excitement
love the content and I've been Lovin Tekken 8 too!
Your commentry and humour fit perfectly with tekken
Besides the movement and side stepping you're pretty solid Keef

Are you coming up something for the evo line up?
Yoooo, this shit is crazyyyy 😂😂 I can't stop laughing at that final comeback.
Welcome home to Tekken. Ive tried most fighting games, but Telken by far has forced me to extract skills I never knew I had. The space to have creativity in Tekken and mind gymnastics always keeps me on my toes
"Bam! Got a trophy on his ass" 😂
big thing in t8, coming from a huge tekken fan, you do your heat active and then heat move at the need of a string and you can push 3 more turns out
Love the hype!! Tekken 8 is amazing!!
Also enjoying Tekken 8 and also playing Victor Chevalier!
This game got me in more than I thought, I wasn't even supposed to buy the game and now 3 weeks in I can't stop playing.
Love the commentary.
Boi that's just crazy😂😂 yooo👌🏽👌🏽
the people NEED more Tekken from the MightyKeef!!!

More tekken 8 ranked commentary, this shit was funny asf😭😭
“Road to tekken god prime”???

Also the way you came back on that Jack-8 was 🔥 and funny as hell 😂
Keef with the psychoanalytic commentary while beatin' his opponents ass, is pure gold😂😂
*Tekken guy in the back swinging his arms intensifies*
facts. T8 is way more fun than mk1 or sf6. It surprised me.
That's wasup. Glad you're enjoying T8!
You know he is locked in when he changes his main drip(that purple suit with white hair is fire,sir)
Have you played Helldivers 2?! I'd love to see a video from you on that game it's sooooo good!!
That first match was insane. I ain’t know you get down like that in tekken keef. Smash players really do be going crazy in the FGC
Tekken is that one game I can play ranked and if I get absolutely bodied I legit just say gg let's throw hands again and then on to the next, I really feel Tekken is so much more fun to work for the rank and if I struggle it's something new to learn and overcome later, plus this Tekken is just so damn good with the new mechanics like god damn I love heat in this game! Tekken is just so damn fun!
You speaking facts. It’s almost as if you’re ascending once you finally go into a ranked match where you were struggling again and just become a better player off of it. This Tekken is amazing
This is gonna be crazy.
Not bad, glad to see Tekken getting some love. But you gotta launch punish those blocked Rage Arts.
It depends how you side stepped left or right on certain moves you have to be on the opposite side also you may have to use side step walk to avoid a bit better but every character does have a universal counter attack so you have to test what are the tracking moves
Just remember glue them eye balls to what limbs come at you left is right and right is left I hope ……. ( epic twist plot theme playing) yesss he fell for my trap card activation
GL on the tekken journey, Keef. Just started my first content creation journey with this new iteration of Tekken myself!
More of this! I've played all the fighting games out minis MK1 lol, Tekken 8 is the best one for me followed by Granblue Rising for my anime kick!
Can’t wait for the eventual Mishima arc that every Tekken player goes through. (Would love to watch over your progress)

I am so dead ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
tekken fr on top 🔥🔥🔥
A Keef vs Afrosenju set needs to happen
Everyone think they're a beast in the lower rankings. Once they get to the tougher opponents, they start playing beach volleyball and dress up. Keep posting T8 so we can see the growth.
It‘s so interesting to see people having fun playing Tekken, while not knowing how frame data works. Tekken is just the best🔥
Oh yeah Tekken 8 is lit!
I'd love to play you sometime when you're free!
I've been loving tekken 8
Are you playing using a wired connection? When I’m using wired Ethernet my matches are all hella smooth almost never lag
“THAT’S WHO HE WAS RAISED TO BE!” I need shit talk of this level 😂😂😂
Tekken 8 looking crazy ❤💜
Cowboy Keef: it's time boys 🤠
4:16 some moves you need to side walk to avoid side stepping won't be enough also you need to know which direction you should go
Nonetheless amazing Victor gameplay there hope you have fun in the game
Fellow Victor here. Thanks for showing your TKID! Im gonna fight your ghost😁
You gotta give Vic the scarf fam!
Tekken 8 really did hit all the right buttons. Great game.

“I feel a little bit of lag he’s getting a little nervous”
Best Tekken since 3!! I can't stop playing in ranked!! 🎉
Tekken milly rocking right now.
I really like this alot
What’s your position about Sparking Zero having no local? I’ve been waiting 15 years but I won’t buy if they do this to us
More Tekken content please. I hope it's at least on the other control
it was greatness
i feel the same way man Steve man
Anyone else feels Victor is actually Sisqó? My man over here showing the ways of the dragon
Yo mighty keef. I would love to give you some tips. I was a tekken god rank in tekken 7 and Fujin in t8. I'm also a former smash player
Dunkin' on a guy that says "Go easy on me", XD
