That's great and all but it's mostly about culture and language barriers. Koreans usually learn from people they play with directly (like arcades) whereas people from everywhere else look for guides on the internet. Also, I don't think the usual Koreans will have the time to make English translated guides like JDCR especially when you already have people like Aris and Anakin making tips for literally every level of gameplay from beginner to pro
fun is very subjective. people could have fun from winning then choose Leroy or people can have fun from doing something hard in a real match then choose kazuya
Started with Kazuya a while back and have a hard time playing other characters. Definitely tough to master but still very fun and satisfying when you make a good play or have a good match!
I started with Lili but I switch to DVJ. DVJ looks very rewarding and fun to play than Lili. Still having a hard time doing electrics, pressures and poking and stuffs like that but Im having a ton on Tekken!
same here! learning kazuya for the first time in tekken is a pain in the ass. but such a satisfying feeling when you finally master his moves, he definitely one of the hardest hitter in the game too.
Lol thank you! I’m a veteran tekken player and when trying to teach new players about tekken I mentioned all these things and they look at me crazy when I don’t recommend mishimas or characters with lots of stances since their is a heavy learning curve with them. Start with a basic character to help grasp the basics of tekken.
What I really recommend to everyone is picking random characters as a beginner and see which one you fall in love with. I am a loyal Yoshi player since T3.
Exactly. So many people have listened to boring advice like pick Kazumi or Shaheen to learn the game with and dropped it because they aren't nearly as cool and unique as most of the cast. A love for the character and having fun will drive new players to learn and enjoy the game at their own pace. It's all about having fun, not just winning.
@@xravenx24fe exactly my friend, it's all about enjoying the character you're playing, if not then you mostly won't get the drive to keep learning and playing. I for example have the most fun with King as I love the character and basically wouldnt play Tekken without King. I enjoy the challenge that comes with doing his precise execution techniques like normal and aerial isw, nuanced crouch dash mixups like even Cd GS or Cd muscle buster. I know King can be played cheap but I try not to. Now I'm able to fairly execute CD into muscle buster on 1p side at least heh, gotta hone it on 2p. I hope I can wavu with King someday. I occasionally also practice with Kazuya because I like the challenge of his high execution.
i recently started playing after getting a fightstick and have started playing a lot of Miguel. something about his brawler fighting style just speaks to me and is just fun
I feel like Alisa was pretty easy to pick up; the entry to accessing much of her better stuff is fairly low, and I feel that she's good about teaching you spacing. Also: robot with chainsaws, and she can fly. I was fairly new to the Tekken franchise when I picked up T7, so to me, she stood out from most of the (non-DLC) cast because of her moveset.
Noctis is a funny beginner pick too. And since he has moves that have more recovery it can teach proper timing and spacing like how normal basic tekken is imo
I started playing 3 months and this is my first fighting game and tekken game. I've tried out many characters but i rly rly liked Lee alot. I enjoy playing Lee even though i lose most of the time.
One exception to stance characters not being beginner friendly is Miguel i think. He has ONE key stance, but what's great about it is that it's easy to transition into (most of his moves do it) and from there it has a lot of great, easy to remember options. While most characters have multiple stances and transitioning into them can be tricky (Lei is the biggest example in my mind) Miguel makes it very straightforward. Miguel is baby's first stance character
Claudio is a great one. hes how i started out. Very, very easy gameplan, but effective, low execution, but still teaches you how to play. lots of spacing.
@@julieanderson9823 ...."Cyan Bun"'s comment is responding to JDCR saying majimageuro (마지막으로) and mishearing it as "majima goro". that's not what he said though.
I just bought Tekken 7 last week, and have never played a Tekken game before. This video is invaluable to me. Thank you so much! I am really enjoying diving into the Tekken world for the first time. :D
Jack7 is a really good beginner character too. Easy combos. Great lows mids and highs. Has a jack hammer that can pressure and is safe. High wall damage.
5min straight to the point and objective. Was waiting for a 2hour video explaining in detail whereas this guy just tells you "pick this guy and this guy, dont pick thisw guy because of this"
I started playing on tekken 5 and I always played mishimas but my main is Jin. I have tried other characters such as Lee and Bryan but I always come back to my main boi Jin! As a beginner Jin just felt right for me and I enjoyed playing as Jin that's why I sticked to the character and will always be my main.
I started playing tekken again after watching jdcr win evo 2017 after I stopped from tekken 5. Can't wait to see you win more tournaments in the future. Much love from your fan since tekkentag2.
I started with lidia then moved to AMK but that was my spamming time So basically I started at AMK and he's pretty decent to me at learning the game and becoming better
I've read that Lili is a good beginner character too and I do like her. I struggle a bit since I'm more used to motion inputs instead of directionnal but I'll learn! :D
The translations are way better now! Also the subbing itself is way better. The old one used to break sentences up strangely and have text on the screen for awkwardly short lengths of time. This is WAY BETTER!!
For me the best character to teach for beginners in tekken would be Asuka. I'm not an asuka main but I think she has the most basic moves in the game. 🙂 easy to execute.
I think the best advice is to play around every character and pick one that suits your taste. There's plenty of characters for a reason. Everyone gets to choose what's most fun for them
End of the day pick a character you love regardless of skill level. I loved Steve when I first started but he was way too complicated. Now that I've had experience I went back to him and love him. I wish I stayed with him from the start and learned.
I find it funny that the Mishimas are the main characters of Tekken, yet unlike Ryu or Terry Bogard they are some of the hardest, most advanced characters in the game.
4:04 this is why I am a Steve main, In other games like Blazblue I am a Hakumen main and I like to be specific and make sure I have a bit of control on what I do, move wise.
I like this list as it includes characters that have strong overall generic and character specific tools. JDCR also doesn't shy away from suggesting a character just because they have mix up strings. Too many people list Kazumi as the go to beginner character when her CH mids are lacking, has no ranged 15/16F launcher and her strings are rough compared to other characters you'll regularly encounter online. If anything I feel she forces an unnecessary amount of difficulty for a learning environment.
If she just hands you all the tools with little to no work for them you're going to have a bad time when you go to characters you like who's tools will require work from you to utilize efficiently
i just play tekken 2 weeks and i really start from Claudio, Dragunov, Kazuya, and Devil Jin😅 but i feel so much fun to play them from the first time, cuz i love how to learn the combo and everything on Tekken❤ (sorry for my bad English)
I've started as a Leo player. He's really underated but he's a strong character with all the key moves of the game. You can learn easily the game keeping his playstyle simple or you can go deep into the moveset and unleash his true potential with some hard tech stuff. He's really fun to play and has many ways to be played. I would raccomend Leo!
Beginner characters that I would highly recommend are Katarina and Noctis; both teaches you the fundamentals of blocking and attacking. If you can learn when to attack and when to block, 44444 and 22222 alone will take you to green ranks at the very least. Next that I would highly recommend is Law especially whe you have a bad connection. Law is at his natural state and at his best when you have a three bar or lower connection. No complicated moves, no poking, no juggles to memorise. Dragon tail can easily annihilate orange ranks on 3 bar. Two bar on the other hand turns Law from a good character to a character that is a literal incarnate of a god.
Funny thing... I started playing with my boy Geese and I think it wasn't that hard for me ... Maybe because I used to play KOF, it really made thinks far easy.... But the thing was when I tried other characters like Jin, Zafina, Kazuya,Hwoarang, Heachi, I was stuck... I really didn't saw any progress on my gameplay until I tried Negan... Right now I'm Getting better with him and he is my 2nd main.... I should try some of these characters in this video
I'm surprised you didn't mention Eliza with Geese and Akuma/Gouki since her blood meter is really similar to Akuma's super meter and she has a lot of other similarities to him. She's still one of my favorites because she's a cute sleepy vampire though and I liked her in Tekken Revolution even though that game wasn't very good
it's not that hard, just learn your instant wr3,4. b2 wall carry combos. b4 counter hit combos. instant slide. crouch dash spamming and learn the crouch dash mixups. then learn his just frame move timings. then learn the wonky ass ff4 combos. then learn the crouch cancel combos. then get over the existential nightmare of being mid low tier, and become a violet main instead.
@@omargholam2514 def agree braindead, like his b4 and ... uh. And ... yes yes b4 ... I have lots of moves to mention but there’s no time to mention them all
I started Tekken when Noctis came out. I fell in love with the moves right away. Then I got stuck in Orange Rank because I wasnt playing the game properly. So I picked up law and Kazumi to learn the neutralgame i was lacking with because Noctis neutrals insisted of "ora db2". After a few months of hard work I reached Tekken God Prime with Noctis and can play every Character to a certain extend! So yes. Learning a Character that teaches you real Tekken helps you with the char you love out a ton!
Yea definitely a good choice, because even at TGP I’ve fought so many noctis players with horrible fundamentals and knowledge that they should have at that rank. Lol
@@ZeeshanRFQ I'm curious to see how these guys make it to TGP without a good knowledge of Tekken. Blows my mind. I main Noctis as well, but I'm stuck in the lower purple ranks
I will say start with Kazuya or Dragunov out the cast. The others have a certain style and flashy moves with multiple stances. Kaz only have one stance he don't fight backwards or on his hands so you can find easier and faster punishers and setups during any fight.
Kazuya is a good pick if you are in it for the long run. He relies A LOT on fundamentals. Master him and you'll have an easier time when jumping into other characters.
@@BknMoonStudios very True As A Mishima Player Myself, I can Say These Characters Are Very Difficult To Use When You Dont Understand The Game, But As You Progress And Get A Understanding Of Tekken’s Fundamentals And Gameplay, These Characters Will Be A Turning Stone For Your Development To Top Tier Player.😌🔥
Well Lei you can Kind of button mash and it works out, But Hworang/Zafina/Steve if you button mash they just change stances without attacking I think thats the point he's going for
@@whatthefuck9703 well thing is if you mash all button its crazy but on playstation O and X is all kicks mash those with directions then yea crazy ass kicks
nice!!! jdcr and core a gaming! that's all we could ask for! i started learning tekken last year, i main Kazumi and i think she is great for beginers also, much like Shaheen! I think i like Shaheen's moves but the character design is so boring, i wish they made him cooler in tekken 8 and added more characters from middle east region. And i hope they keep Kazumi, tigers are awesome

Idk if this applies to other people but i think the easiest one i had to learn was josie. She has a pretty average set of skills, and average combos. Her combos are really easy to do (easiest being her sample combo, df2, f3, 33,fff3. This combo has a some extra drams where you can add extra moves (my main one being df2,f3,f3,33,ff,f3,33) which is very simple despite it being pretty long.) She also utilizes a stance called switch stance, that is accessed using certain moves, and doesnt need any other imputs(like how Steve have to add f or d to his move to trigger flicker or peekaboo, certain josie moves like 124, or d12 trigger switch stance. But, switchstance only has 4 moves on it(1 or 2 or 3 or 4(the dont have fancy shit like 12, 24,etc) but still pretty important for extra damage or combos.) And has a pretty simple moveset. You dont even need to know all her moves, but her main ones like (124,1),(df3),(33),(3f3), and her basic 12 are pretty useful(and cheesy) already.
i started playing kazuya since tekken 4 and loved his design and fighting style (despite practically not knowing about his electrics, dash or even sweeps) so when i finally knew i began playing him seriously in tekken 7 despite being so hard to play. his style is so unique that i can't play other characters (except claudio or akuma) cause i dont like their moveset XD.
I also thought Kazumi is good for learning but turns out she has 1 glaring spot that is not good for beginners. Her 15f punisher which is her hop kick can't punish anything that has the slightest of push back. I think this alone would not help beginners learn how to punish launch punishable moves well and in turn learn match ups as you normally would with someone with a real hop kick or d/f2. Many other characters with a hop kick and d/f2 can also normally whiff punish with them but Kazumi just can't do it. I think this alone would be a hurdle for a lot of beginners.
@@zackong2800 While I agree that it's a problem, I don't think it comes close to outweighing everything else that she has going for her. Most moves are -12 or -13 and beginners tend to stick to one punish that works for everything (e.g. i10 punish). Even if they knew something was launch punishable (highly unlikely), their muscle memory would just make them react and respond with the regular punish they use for everything. l mean, we don't consistently see optimal punishes even at the very highest level of play.
@@gideonturner8716 Frame data might not be the strength of beginners but having a hop kick like Claudio or df2 like Josie would help with learning whiff punishing a lot.
Interesting video! But most importantly for every beginner out there: Try to have fun! If you really love a character, don't be too afraid of having fun playing him, because of his difficulty ^^
I think it's most important to just pick a character you are attracted to or else you risk losing interest in the game. But if you are undecided this is a good video giving you at least an idea of character you could pick up in the beginning.
I start playing tekken since im grade 6....and im a big fan of jin kasama than the devil one and my friend recommend me to use steve fox without knowing that char. Is not recommendable but i admit that he's great using steve fox....until present and comeback playing tekken...when i found this vid....now i only realize steve fox is totally hard to use cuz of many moves and need a good mindset player so thanks for this vid...now i should pick wither Paul or lars as beginner

It is VERY important that when you start playing tekken you have FUN. Shaheen, Paul, Law are very fun, and when you have fun you learn better.
And if you're not having fun then you're probably playing Jin
fun is very subjective. people could have fun from winning then choose Leroy or people can have fun from doing something hard in a real match then choose kazuya
@@Nhia89 lol I can relate
My definition of having fun with this game was by choosing a character I thought was really cool. So I went with Dragunov.

Really liking the change in the production quality, keep it up JDCR!

Started with Kazuya a while back and have a hard time playing other characters. Definitely tough to master but still very fun and satisfying when you make a good play or have a good match!

Great tips jdcr, keep up the good work!
Screw it I'm learning the game on hard mode...
That's right I'm going to be a Lee Main
it's not that hard, just learn your instant wr3,4. b2 wall carry combos. b4 counter hit combos. instant slide. crouch dash spamming and learn the crouch dash mixups. then learn his just frame move timings. then learn the wonky ass ff4 combos. then learn the crouch cancel combos. then get over the existential nightmare of being mid low tier, and become a violet main instead.
I tried to pick up Lee a few days ago and lost 10 straight ranked matches, lol.
Lees difficulty is overrated also he has alot of insane moves which are pretty braindead to add to your gameplay
@@omargholam2514 def agree braindead, like his b4 and ... uh. And ... yes yes b4 ...
I have lots of moves to mention but there’s no time to mention them all
Yeah, you know what I'm all about starting small so I'm gonna go with Leroy first then work my way up.
I'm looking to getting back in to Tekken after not playing for a very long time. Considering playing Paul as my character for re-learning the game.
I started Tekken when Noctis came out. I fell in love with the moves right away. Then I got stuck in Orange Rank because I wasnt playing the game properly. So I picked up law and Kazumi to learn the neutralgame i was lacking with because Noctis neutrals insisted of "ora db2". After a few months of hard work I reached Tekken God Prime with Noctis and can play every Character to a certain extend! So yes. Learning a Character that teaches you real Tekken helps you with the char you love out a ton!
My friend who has mediocre knowledge of Tekken has Tekken God Prime with noctis. IMO noctis would spoil you if you're beginning the game with him
@@ZeeshanRFQ He did. but not enough
Yea definitely a good choice, because even at TGP I’ve fought so many noctis players with horrible fundamentals and knowledge that they should have at that rank. Lol
@@ZeeshanRFQ I'm curious to see how these guys make it to TGP without a good knowledge of Tekken. Blows my mind. I main Noctis as well, but I'm stuck in the lower purple ranks
King main here. But i loved the vid. Really good explanation, on point...
I will say start with Kazuya or Dragunov out the cast. The others have a certain style and flashy moves with multiple stances. Kaz only have one stance he don't fight backwards or on his hands so you can find easier and faster punishers and setups during any fight.
Kazuya forces you to learn difficult techniques and doesnt play standardly though
Now I see why It took 4 months to reach green rank with Devil Jin
I recently started with Lee, and honestly I really love his playstyle.
Me trying to pick new character before a game.
Also me 5 secs later: picks Paul and spams death fist
If you're new in season 4. I'd recommend to play Kunimitsu. She is a risky pick yet fun to use!
I started with Devil Jin. I know his comand list through and through, but movement on a stick is so hard to pick up, and EWGF too... so difficult.
EWGF on a stick is EZ mode
코리안 1등인가요~?
철린이로서 이런 영상 감사합니다!
._. ⬅ my face when I started playing Tekken with Hwoarang and Kazuya.
Kazuya is a good pick if you are in it for the long run.
He relies A LOT on fundamentals. Master him and you'll have an easier time when jumping into other characters.
@@BknMoonStudios very True
As A Mishima Player Myself, I can Say These Characters Are Very Difficult To Use When You Dont Understand The Game, But As You Progress And Get A Understanding Of Tekken’s Fundamentals And Gameplay, These Characters Will Be A Turning Stone For Your Development To Top Tier Player.😌🔥
I think he missed lei when he was talking about stances :D
Well Lei you can Kind of button mash and it works out, But Hworang/Zafina/Steve if you button mash they just change stances without attacking I think thats the point he's going for
@@wowditto I personally thought hwoarang is an easy character , my cousin kept using him against me and i cant win cause of the button mash kicks
@@whatthefuck9703 well thing is if you mash all button its crazy but on playstation O and X is all kicks mash those with directions then yea crazy ass kicks
I started Tekken 7 with King, Armor King, Lei Wulong and Gigas. Love them.
nice!!! jdcr and core a gaming! that's all we could ask for!
i started learning tekken last year, i main Kazumi and i think she is great for beginers also, much like Shaheen! I think i like Shaheen's moves but the character design is so boring, i wish they made him cooler in tekken 8 and added more characters from middle east region. And i hope they keep Kazumi, tigers are awesome
I was looking at Dragunov because he looked really cool but now I think that I will actually try to learn him
Personally I'm able to learn with whatever character aslong as I like the character so that's why I learned while playing feng and Lei
캐릭터 추천하실때 이미지를 따와서 하나하나 옮겨가면서 정리해주셨으면 보기에 엄청 깔끔했을거같아요.
인게임에서 캐릭터 옮겨가면서 설명을 들으니 어떤 캐릭터들을 포함했는지 초보자 입장에서는 이해가 어려울수도 있을거같네요.
추가로 성향별 캐릭터 추천도 해주시면 아주 감사하겠습니다.

Recommended are : Shaheen paul law Lars dragunov
So what if I were to come from a SF background?
Is okay for me to use Akuma as a starter since I'm familiar with his inputs and moves at least?
I started Tekken learning Law he is a very good beginner character.
Yeah he is really easy only hard thing is mostly DSS everyone mostly knows his moves tho so you gotta be creative and tricky
Idk if this applies to other people but i think the easiest one i had to learn was josie. She has a pretty average set of skills, and average combos. Her combos are really easy to do (easiest being her sample combo, df2, f3, 33,fff3. This combo has a some extra drams where you can add extra moves (my main one being df2,f3,f3,33,ff,f3,33) which is very simple despite it being pretty long.) She also utilizes a stance called switch stance, that is accessed using certain moves, and doesnt need any other imputs(like how Steve have to add f or d to his move to trigger flicker or peekaboo, certain josie moves like 124, or d12 trigger switch stance. But, switchstance only has 4 moves on it(1 or 2 or 3 or 4(the dont have fancy shit like 12, 24,etc) but still pretty important for extra damage or combos.) And has a pretty simple moveset. You dont even need to know all her moves, but her main ones like (124,1),(df3),(33),(3f3), and her basic 12 are pretty useful(and cheesy) already.
Amazing, I'm waiting for the next videos, keep it up! 👍
i started with asuka fairly easy to learn
i started playing kazuya since tekken 4 and loved his design and fighting style (despite practically not knowing about his electrics, dash or even sweeps) so when i finally knew i began playing him seriously in tekken 7 despite being so hard to play. his style is so unique that i can't play other characters (except claudio or akuma) cause i dont like their moveset XD.
Pretty surprising that he didn't mention Kazumi as a good character to start with.
I also thought Kazumi is good for learning but turns out she has 1 glaring spot that is not good for beginners. Her 15f punisher which is her hop kick can't punish anything that has the slightest of push back. I think this alone would not help beginners learn how to punish launch punishable moves well and in turn learn match ups as you normally would with someone with a real hop kick or d/f2. Many other characters with a hop kick and d/f2 can also normally whiff punish with them but Kazumi just can't do it. I think this alone would be a hurdle for a lot of beginners.
@@zackong2800 While I agree that it's a problem, I don't think it comes close to outweighing everything else that she has going for her. Most moves are -12 or -13 and beginners tend to stick to one punish that works for everything (e.g. i10 punish). Even if they knew something was launch punishable (highly unlikely), their muscle memory would just make them react and respond with the regular punish they use for everything. l mean, we don't consistently see optimal punishes even at the very highest level of play.
@@gideonturner8716 Frame data might not be the strength of beginners but having a hop kick like Claudio or df2 like Josie would help with learning whiff punishing a lot.
Kazumi does have a df2. It is 18 frames and extremely unsafe, but it's a df2 nonetheless. But yeah, I know what u mean.
Or Yoshi as a bad lol
2:26 majima goro? omi clan?
Thanks you, JDCR!
Katarina is good for beginners and I personally think she's really fun. She's like my 3rd main under Nina and Kunimitsu II
Great video my man. keep it up.
I picked Eliza which is a rank 4 difficulty, I really love Vampires when I was young and so I picked her ahahaha and now I'm in Vanquisher rank
I highly appreciate top level players teaching people the game. Is there a specific schedule for these, or will they be uploaded sporadically?
I think I’m gonna pick up Kazumi as my main, simple character with great fundamentals. After her, gonna pick up Kunimitsu.
Interesting video! But most importantly for every beginner out there:
Try to have fun! If you really love a character, don't be too afraid of having fun playing him, because of his difficulty ^^
I think it's most important to just pick a character you are attracted to or else you risk losing interest in the game. But if you are undecided this is a good video giving you at least an idea of character you could pick up in the beginning.
I started Tekken 7 with Akuma and have now picked up heihachi as my second character. Tough process but very rewarding
Do you still play it?
@@jesusmejia3417 yes, more than any game I own. It's more like picking up a hobby than playing a game
@@loto7197 do you play with keyboard, pad or fight stick?
@@nibbzzz135 pad without claw
@@loto7197 do you have any interest in fight sticks? Im on kB now but idk if I should buy one
Do a full length Heihachi tutorial, for the Hei mains please! Love you JDCR!
if you're absolutely green isn't it the best when you pick a character which is the most visually/aesthetically appealing to you?
I start playing tekken since im grade 6....and im a big fan of jin kasama than the devil one and my friend recommend me to use steve fox without knowing that char. Is not recommendable but i admit that he's great using steve fox....until present and comeback playing tekken...when i found this vid....now i only realize steve fox is totally hard to use cuz of many moves and need a good mindset player so thanks for this vid...now i should pick wither Paul or lars as beginner
