I’m hoping for this to be a long lasting thing, especially since tekken 8 is relatively new. Afro gets beatup, he trains, then he beats rdc, then they train, then they beat afro, then afro trains again etc. It would be awesome if they continue this
Holy hell there are so many comments downplaying this, this is why Tekken suffers from the "gatekeeping" stigma cause you people can literally be happy for nobody and you all apparently play honest characters jfc

People downplaying this is crazy! Yes, tekken 8 and servers are "easier" than before, but not for all the reason people think. A huge factor noone talks about is player count, tekken 8 has waaaay more players than ever before. Tekken 7 reached a peak of 12k players back in May 2021. Tekken 8 had 46k on release and its current in 10-16k average. Instead of downplaying people's ranks the FGC should be happy its getting this much traction and new player base so that it keep growing...but nah I guess being petty is better for some.
What? From where are you taking these numbers? Are you saying, only 10 -16k players, are playing ranked online? Didn't the game sold like 2 milion copies? So how can it be so low like you say?
@@jackics6540they are getting it from steam charts, all time peak is 49k three months ago. It has at the time of this 9.7k people online right now and 11k 24 hr peak. This doesn’t take into account for all the PlayStation console players/people who have the game but stopped playing etc/people play at different times for different lengths. Multiple purchases for whatever reason like tournaments etc, There are a lot of reasons why game will have 2 million sold but not that high of count. Lots of people don’t keep playing fighting games, some do but fighting games have always been niche and have a lower player retention as time goes for whatever reason. There are 9.7k right now on steam but there could very well be another 10k in console or more. They have metrics we can’t see.
@@jackics6540 He's most likely talking about steam chart sales, which would be the lowest selling platform for any typical fighting game (with Playstation being the highest and other consoles being next in line).
It’s honestly shit like this why the FGC won’t grow i understand the mechanics are easier but why downplay someone because it’s not “Tekken” Shit Annoying lol Atleast the nigga having fun
Those are steam charts and the most popular platform for tekken has always been PlayStation, EU PS4/5 specifically has the most players. I hate when people say something so confidently when its actually very misleading and misinformed
@@PhiDX Would love to see you review the Lee vs Dylan match. Leland's Lee felt a little stiff (even mark said as much). Thoughts on whether it's his play style or if he's still struggling to pilot the character?
11:48 I think Mark conditioned him to duck after the first match bcuz he was always doing the low move after his heat smash and mark noticed it was getting blocked so he started doing the mid move
Love seeing the progress from the people you coach. Always helps give me confidence in being able to rank up myself. The RDC training arc has been crazy to see.
That was quite motivating. I was having a lot of trouble, getting stuck at the Battle Ruler rank for weeks, just couldn't get to Fujin. This channel helped a lot. Actually, I managed to get to Fujin rank the day after I watched this video.
Same here, stuck at Flame Ruler, been at BR for a short period, though. Fujin has been my goal for a long time now, but that doesn;'t seem feasible. Can't get past the mashing Reinas, Juns, Lillies etc.
There came a point in my fandom when Tekken said, "We have 32 characters" and all I could see was "There are 6 characters" because of how the community views and downplays the accomplishments with most characters in this game. I literally had to take 3 steps back and turn myself back into a casual to realize that every single character (in Tekken 8 especially) is fun in their own way to play as (even if they aren't fun to play against) and now I literally love playing with every single character in the game because I've turned off the noise. Except Bears......I've never vibed with them. So theres 30 characters for me. And Eddy's too expensive. Congrats to RDC. Can't wait for their skits now that the playoffs have started.
I was contempt in blue rank but seeing mark and afro hit fujin, when I honestly didn't think they would get it, made me decide to actually lock in and rank up.
No cap, a little jelly. We’ve been grinding and learning frame traps, movement and watching videos, replays, and matchup and still don’t improve. Shit, we legit cried outta frustration. We know it’s just the way it is but god damn do we feel a type of way when we don’t seem progress and everyone seem to rocket. Good for mark,tho. He worked for it. Just need to “get good” ourself as they say.
@@djbyozi shes not the least played (at high level) but those numbers reflect on how people arent incels like you. They actually want to learn the game and play characters they actually like. Not just farm wins.
That Reina was a solid player. The drag was kind of bad but she was strong. He def earned that blue. Make sure to tell him not to get disheartened if he loses the rank though. Right now there are a ton of tekken god level players on their side characters so it can be really tough sledding. He can always get the rank back if he loses it
Ik Afro shaking in his boots 💀 This is so entertaining. your doing such a great job teaching RDC and I even picked up on some stuff from this and your older videos. I only got the game two weeks ago and I'm beating my friends who've been playing previous tekkens and this one since release! I never knew how fun/ detailed tekken was and your videos help me a lot 🔥 keep coaching man! ur the goat 🐐
@bambabarry idk cuz when he had a mini losing streak on stream he flat out was asking if anyone knows a June player that can help him. He may have had help tho but idk
Mark has to be some kind of genius, my Xiaoyu is also Fujin so I went in and tried backwalking slowly to see if it would piss people off enough to run at me and it works every time.
A buddy of mine asked a Tekken pro back in the day for some tips and his answer was simple, "Block" 😅. Very simple answer but as we know, mashing can get you blown up quick. Great analysis as usual Phi! You never really know how much damage you are leaving on the table, so reviewing your replays for any useable tips and punishes is a must
Great video, i got recommended to your channel through some nice dudes in the Tekken Facebook community Im in, i just got to Shiryu rank with Alisa Your videos have been super helpful at making me think about my own plays and how i can improve, i appreciate how you explain things and look forward to your next video. Great work man
Meanwhile me: Did my move get blocked? Do it again. Oh, he blocked it again? F--- you I'll do it again. There's no way he'll anticipate me doing it three times. The best mixup is no mixup.
I reached Ruler lesser than month with Kazuya. End on Tekken 8, your whole learning process feels so good. Keep goin Phidx. You are perfect coach. (Specially thx for Anti-King guide)
@@seanbrown7083 If you struggle on yellow ranks i think you need to focus your character instead of opponents. Look at your movements and what u r using generally combos ? Stabilizing punishment is the key because in lower rank everyone makes mistake a lot and if you punish better damage this will be reason for your promos. Specially for Kazuya dont think complicated is my biggest advice. You dont have to use pwgf even ewgf if you using them thats good if you not thats okay. Use more db1+2 or b1+2 for punish and thank me later. I adapted my game hellsweep and ewgf but i cant clearly see reina or kazuya even purple ranks. So think easy and punish them with more movement
@@seanbrown7083 d1+2 then 1+2 then b2+2 then df1+2. Its really good combo if you did counter hit. Keep that mind bro you can maximize with your heat too
Any tips to get out of red ranks? I'm hard stuck. My gameplan is basically just ff2 or db1+2 in neutral, EWGF on whiff reaction, hellsweep or ff3 or ff4 on oki. Feel like the only way out is learning to duck and punish with ws1+2, or learn frame data for block punishing, but that could take forever 😖
@@DeusPsycho i think red ranks means you are good at on your own character but learning opponents and making new gameplan that what i learn from red ranks. When i hit garyu like its my first week i stopped for a while and played quick match (and stomped by purple blue or even red ranks) but i learned so much moves from my opponents. Every character has a win condition in themself. My eyes adapted their low frame low damage punish, or launcher then i said oooh okay i can punish if i would see this moves for almost every character. Long but short advice play so much more quick match and lose against matchup who dont know. Last week when i tried my climb garyu-shinryu matches was realy hard for me cuz i matched fujin people (main chars on fujin but plays different characters) stucked like 50-60 match then when i hit shinryu i left in one day cuz i matched with purple ranks. Purple ranks players was easy for me because i really saw tougher than themself in quick match so one night i hitted tenryu and tomorrow i hitted mighty ruler really fast. Dont think about rank and just rematch them in quick match who was you struggle with them. I dont have spesific kazuya advice i think you are know him.
The algorithm sent me the original video titled Rdc world got cooked, so it's cool to see his very obvious progress. As for hating on a character, I'm pretty sure we all play someone that people hate because that's part of fighting game nature. Steve and Paul btw, and hopefully Marduk soon.
Great job guy in the video, now go higher. Hopefully soon i will join you in the blues, just hit purple :D Awesome video as always PhiDX, keep it up :)
There was a dragonuv match this night would have made phidx super proud he was fighting a blue rank and he escaped like 6 or 7 straight throws to clutch the win
What’s Good Phi! 💪🏾⚡️ Long time no see! (Battle Lounge BlackWater days) Congrats to your successes! I’ve finally saved up enough for the Ps5 and am very close to owning Tekken 8! I look forward to testing my skills once again when I do! I have been getting casuals and think I can possibly be a real contender in this version! Highest I’ve placed at tournaments is 9th! Keep up the good work, and I’m coming for you 💪🏾⚡️ Respectfully of course lol
I will say that Mark definitely improved so much. But he still is VERY predictable at times. But, fair play to him he took the time to learn the game and is now a good player. I wanted them to play tekken for so many years I’m actually so glad they like it and got good at it
Nah they're not all like this lmaoo 😂😂 reason why there's so much hate on this video is cuz someone being better than them leaves a window for people to hate on em for no reason. People be salty and jealous if they can't be better but if u go to Phis other videos/streams you'll see its a lot more chill 🙏
We all gotta start somewhere the more he plays the more he’ll get the understanding of his combo and punishment/movement. So far he’s doing a pretty decent job 👍
I got a blue xiaoyu, too. I'd love to do a mirror with RDC and exchange knowledge. Also, I never capitalized off the throw getup from behind. Gotta lab that out.
Alot of haters in the chat, idk how you can hate on them, when you can literally see the progress in front of you, He uses Xiaoyu very effectively, it was a fun stream to watch.
If you're hating in the comments you're below Blue 😇
Come in to learn and enjoy the vibes
Guilty as charged, currently orange ranks lol.
Not hating but auska literally has no counter play😢 for some of these characters

The Afro vs RDC run back gonna be like Hashirama vs Madara😂
Lmaoo😭😭
When is it happening?

This is good. RDC has their own Con. They could hold a T8 Tourney this year.
At dream con These guys are known for winning their own smash Bros tournaments why not make a tekken tournament
I mean they did SF6 and MK, Tekken 8 is a given.
With all of them + Afro , Caleb , lotus etc etc there it’s pretty much guaranted
There's no way that they wouldn't, they def gotta host T8 this year
It’s already a confirmed tournament at Dreamcon this year
The best thing about fighting games is getting yo ass beat them coming back stronger after training. This Afro VS RDC saga is going to be lit.
I’m hoping for this to be a long lasting thing, especially since tekken 8 is relatively new. Afro gets beatup, he trains, then he beats rdc, then they train, then they beat afro, then afro trains again etc. It would be awesome if they continue this

Feel like the only way out is learning to duck and punish with ws1+2, or learn frame data for block punishing, but that could take forever 😖
@@DeusPsycho i think red ranks means you are good at on your own character but learning opponents and making new gameplan that what i learn from red ranks. When i hit garyu like its my first week i stopped for a while and played quick match (and stomped by purple blue or even red ranks) but i learned so much moves from my opponents. Every character has a win condition in themself. My eyes adapted their low frame low damage punish, or launcher then i said oooh okay i can punish if i would see this moves for almost every character. Long but short advice play so much more quick match and lose against matchup who dont know. Last week when i tried my climb garyu-shinryu matches was realy hard for me cuz i matched fujin people (main chars on fujin but plays different characters) stucked like 50-60 match then when i hit shinryu i left in one day cuz i matched with purple ranks. Purple ranks players was easy for me because i really saw tougher than themself in quick match so one night i hitted tenryu and tomorrow i hitted mighty ruler really fast. Dont think about rank and just rematch them in quick match who was you struggle with them. I dont have spesific kazuya advice i think you are know him.
Dude thank you for making these videos. You don't understand how much this helps.
Oh his playing Xing? Respect already
Best Tekken rivalry since Arslan and Knee started theirs
this video is very educational but never forget you’re not required to be!!! We like the cool shit too
I don’t play tekken but I find the breakdowns very entertaining
The runback will be crazy
Hi standards established and maintained. You deserve to be picked up by a serious network. And you're an OUTSTANDING commentator.
Can we talk about he chose to play a particular difficult character to learn also. Congrats man 💯
Here after your student Mark 7-0'd AfroSenju at EVO
Im so happy that watching RDC has brought me here because i needed these tutorials!! Thank you WhisDX!
11:47 hes looking for that low that mark was doing in the first match
The algorithm sent me the original video titled Rdc world got cooked, so it's cool to see his very obvious progress. As for hating on a character, I'm pretty sure we all play someone that people hate because that's part of fighting game nature. Steve and Paul btw, and hopefully Marduk soon.
Bro hit the hyperbolic time chamber something serious
Congrats on the blues! Inspiring! I hope to get there
honorstly really surpised by his huge achivment in ranked but also how much he have improvemt, it makes me wanna practice more!
I’m currently god of destruction but every video I’m learning something I can work on !! I appreciate you phi. Hopefully one day we can play
I love seeing big names play tekken and start to learn and get better ❤
Mark just chilling and not forcing anything (2:49) is SOOO unconventional 😄😆 and a sign of your great coaching! 😁👏🏾👏🏾
RDC receiving god of destruction level training for Zeno himself is crazy 😂😂😂
I just love seeing this!!! Well deserved
Wow, nice! This is useful for me because I just got Battle Ruler and am going to try to get Fujin this weekend or the next.
Great job guy in the video, now go higher. Hopefully soon i will join you in the blues, just hit purple :D Awesome video as always PhiDX, keep it up :)
Professor PhiDX!
There was a dragonuv match this night would have made phidx super proud he was fighting a blue rank and he escaped like 6 or 7 straight throws to clutch the win
This is a prime example if he can do it then yall can do it too I'm happy got RDC💪
Black people and tekken continue to go hand in hand 😭❤
All fighting games except KOF, Mexico got that on lock.
@@Jetanium na frrrrrrr thats they game 😂
@@Jetanium yeah they hold the crown for that game lol
wait until the hood discovers tekken like they did with 2K. It will be hilarious.
@@stussymishka hood been on Tekken, they just don't be taking it seriously.
The runback will be legendary
ngl seeing mark and afro get to blue motivated me to hit blue and i ended up hitting blue rank right after lol
This is really awesome love this a lot I need the Mark & Leland redemption arc
Great content as always ! thanks coach
If you’re mad about this video keep in mind that you don’t have to watch and can gladly wait for the next
What’s Good Phi! 💪🏾⚡️ Long time no see! (Battle Lounge BlackWater days)
Congrats to your successes! I’ve finally saved up enough for the Ps5 and am very close to owning Tekken 8! I look forward to testing my skills once again when I do! I have been getting casuals and think I can possibly be a real contender in this version! Highest I’ve placed at tournaments is 9th! Keep up the good work, and I’m coming for you 💪🏾⚡️
Respectfully of course lol
Thanks bro!
I will say that Mark definitely improved so much. But he still is VERY predictable at times. But, fair play to him he took the time to learn the game and is now a good player. I wanted them to play tekken for so many years I’m actually so glad they like it and got good at it
Your coaching them ?! LMAO that’s awesome
RDC and Phi been making me want to start playing Tekken but if all the players act like this (comments) im good😂😂
Nah they're not all like this lmaoo 😂😂 reason why there's so much hate on this video is cuz someone being better than them leaves a window for people to hate on em for no reason. People be salty and jealous if they can't be better but if u go to Phis other videos/streams you'll see its a lot more chill 🙏
2:30 Bruh, Mark locked in! xD Someone please caption and meme that shit.
We all gotta start somewhere the more he plays the more he’ll get the understanding of his combo and punishment/movement. So far he’s doing a pretty decent job 👍
WhisDX!
I hit the like button. This is my favorite video from you. Good job!!!
I got a blue xiaoyu, too. I'd love to do a mirror with RDC and exchange knowledge. Also, I never capitalized off the throw getup from behind. Gotta lab that out.
Alot of haters in the chat, idk how you can hate on them, when you can literally see the progress in front of you, He uses Xiaoyu very effectively, it was a fun stream to watch.
Very nice analysis!
Proud of you Mark
Thanks for making this
wish ltg would accept coaching.
My friends all complain about the way I play fighting games because I only look for counter hit combos, to them I play too defensively
Nice thumbnail and video👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
WELL DONE yeahhhh
I need to learn that throw + back turn getup thing. Look really strong
Just hope the opponent doesn’t know how to get up from it
Afro is so cooked unless he's been training in secret😂😂
I know Afro watching this😂
Love your channel!!
Ugh throw breaks are my Achilles heel as well. If my opponent catches onto it it’s over.
AS a Xiao main, this was interesting to watch. I too will get to blue one day.
More RDC tekken videos PLEASE
Amazing break down
Thats so hype! I would be so ecstatic to hit blue ranks i would absolutely popoff
You will one day, don't give up!
A month ago I felt like I could hang with or best them. Now I’d be cooked. 😂
I don't even care about rank. I just wanna be good 😭😭😭
Tournament Cash!
Love this
Bruh…. You gave Afro a dub
