neither of them noticed Lei Wulong is Jackie Chan. everyone knows the Laws are just Bruce Lee, but no one ever comments on Lei being a clear homage to Jackie Chan and the goofy comedy he puts in his movies.
I would’ve loved to see how they reacted to Lili’s fighting style with it being her own fighting style created from watching street fights and incorporating gymnastics and ballet
So kazuya's spin kicks are, in fact, actually not possible. They intentionally break physics by having his torso rotated completely around, and if you slow it down enough you see that on the model. They do it as a throwback to the original game where anatomy was more willy-nilly, and because this move is so iconic to the character that they preserve it even in an actually-impossible form.
Kazuya's spinning kicks are actually possible by the way, Eric Jacobus is a stuntman that's been able to replicate Tekken moves, I'd recommend checking him out
How can you hate Lei? 😹 He is literally Jackie Chan in a video game with almost every style of Kung Fu the man possess. Lei has always been simply top notch for me as far as his movements go. They are realistic to the form as well as being mixed as they should be. Martial arts alone solo focused are not good for defending or fighting but if you take them and combine them with others. Well then it becomes a whole new ball game.
mixed martial arts is great due to filling in all the empty spots each martial art is missing -- unless all of those martial arts are all trash. Then it won't matter how many martial arts you learn. Besides, most real martial artists are mixed martial artists whether they say so or not, and in games, Brad Wong's drunken fist >>>> Lei Wulong's drunken fist, Lei-Fei's animal style > Lei Wulong's animal style.
Nice to see Eddy in the top 2 Capoera style is so beautiful and fluid, and Eddy is a great example and of course, as a fellow brazilian, it just warms my heart VAI BRASIL!!!!!
@@0rcryst at the time when I typed this, I was referring to the final version of Tekken 7. You weren’t seeing him a lot at tournaments or being played at a high level. At the time he was low-tier, way different now that 8 is out. Though don’t get me wrong, he was always iconic
Can't help but feel there's a bit of a missed opportunity to show them more of the girls in this, since you got some staples like Julia Chang, over-the-top dancers like Lucky Chloe, and ones that got introduced to T7 later on through DLC like Lidia, who's got one of the most accurate karate move sets in any game in the series thus far.
Completey agree. they need to make a video where they watch gameplay by pros of EVERY character and discuss it. If it would be too long to make everyone in the one video just make a series , by for example doing 10 characters in the video , and going row to row from top to bottom, from left to right, because almost every character has something unique to their style, well with exceptions of kuma/panda. Like Zafina's style, or Leo's Bajiquan, or Shaheen, or Steve's Boxing. I would honestly even pay to see breakdown of whole Tekken 7 Roster by Noah, Gemma and Yoshi. And yes , we need to have ALL 3 of them for those series
they are clowns , and noit actual fighters, they are martial artists. So they are dancers, with little to no rythme. later fake´old scoopers. Oh, that scoop up tho, hum hum word salad butterfly kick.... oh shut up will yah twang
I came here to say this too. They could have replaced Jin, Kazuya, and/or Feng with one of the female characters. No beef against those three characters, but they’re not super distinct at least visually when it comes to their fighting styles and in place of one or two of them we could have gotten Lili, Zafina, or Master Raven or literally any number of female characters who are much more striking and unique. Plus, look how much Gemma and Noah loved seeing Xiaoyu and Nina! This channel needs to make a more concerted effort in showing the female characters for sure.
@@MsKeylas sure, but when they’re only showing 10 characters and there are 30 something characters they can choose on the roster, those three don’t have the *most* distinct fighting styles. And again, I am talking visually. Mechanically, all of those characters are very different. But visually, they’re not that striking. And you can tell by the way Gemma and Noah responded to them.
So nice to see people outside of gaming appreciate Ling Xiaoyu design and move sets. all she receives is hate within the community. so GGs Xiaoyu mains you get #1 spot for favorite character ~~
Xiaoyu is one of the hardest characters to play and play against (if they are good), so it's only natural she gets hate. Her winrate is usually low despite not being used often which is a massive outlier.
Really hope there's a part 2 of this since they loved the unique fighting styles, hope you'll include characters like Lili or Bob 😁 Also love his observation on Nina's style kinda like boxing move, perhaps that's where Steve gets it from 😆
Since the Mercenaries mode already came out, it would be cool to see them react to melee attacks from Resident Evil 4 Remake because kicks in that game are legit satisfying! From CQC to knife attacks, should be really interesting for Gemma, Noah or even Yoshi to react to those.
I feel like that would work better as an series of shorts, the video would get pretty repetitive given all the characters only have like 2 proper moves they repeat
@@hiarus8850 Leon has plenty animations and the rest of them only have 2-3 moves just like you said. The video can be much longer if they add like the knife mechanic, unique melee attack to certain enemies, and combat in cutscenes but still, kinda agree with you tho cuz it's still gonna be too short to be a proper video if they just react only to its melee attacks.
Yesss for Xiaoyu coming in #1. Fell in love with her design/technique from Tekken 3 & to this day she is still my favorite fighter to main in any series🔥🔥🔥
It’s funny now realizing that at this point they had both done their work for MK1 hoping when the game comes out you guys can get them to come back and talk about it
"We wanted uniqueness so Yoshimitsu is at the bottom of the list" Was also a crime, the magic cyborg ninja dressed as a squid isn't unique enough for them?
@@JargonMadjin They literally said Yoshi made it to the list exactly because of his uniqueness, he doesn't even offer much real martial arts and still beat Jin and Heihachi and Lei.
Always nice to see these two again! It would be reeeeeeeally cool if you showed them Virtua Fighter. Which isn't Dead or Alive but rather inspired it and has some of the most beautiful animation and choreography in 3d fighting games! Literally the reason why Tekken exists!
Neat Video, its actually really interesting that Tekken 7 has a lot of fighting styles in them, would love to see chars like Drag and Josie next who also represent a martial art
@@MrRaynx3 I don't buy that bs for one second. Josie is far from the only character who doesn't fight in a style native too their country of birth. You have a hate boner for josie and simply can't wait to express it whenever you see the name.
@@kumorizora2507 whats ur deal man? All i wanted is replace her moveset with a more filipino based skillset which in particular known for knives and kali sticks?? im out ch0w
Feng didn’t really get a fair showcase.... his animations and move set is pure art when used properly....... He’s One of the most beautifully animated characters ever created in my opinion.....
Any chance Gemma and Noah could rank the various moves of Yakuza in relation to their designated fighting styles? Plus we'd get to see Noah's reactions to Kiryu's brutal beatdowns lol.
At least in my shaolin kung fu school, we are taught that low stance of Xiaoyu's as part of the crane form. The way I've always heard it explained, is that its meant to maximize the depth of a duck a crescent kick or the like without breaking eye contact with the opponent. That explanation is also always followed by pointing out that you want to get out of the position as soon as possible. Lei's definitely using tiger, snake, and crane techniques we learn as well.
Pai from Virtua Fighter has that same stance from a move transition. She's only allowed to stay in it momentarily. For Xiaoyu, in the game, it is best that you only use it as a dodge technique and not stay in it as staying in the stance can be very unsafe for her defense.
Always love Gemma and Noah's reactions, they're so cute but informative! 🥰Wanted to also request if they (and/or with Yoshi or with the sword experts) could check out Naraka Bladepoint gameplay, they incorporate martial arts with mostly melee focused weapons but the characters have their own unique abilities/transformations to change up the game since its a PVP/battle royale. Keep doing what you guys do!
I hope they either react or recreate Soul Calibur! It'd be so amazing to see them talk about the weapons styles or try to recreate some of them in the real world!
Nah not from them, I feel they are just throwing random martial arts lingo at the wall to see what sticks. no fast as lightning kicks here, fam. Atleast, I hope these martial artiste have more rhytme on the dance floor than they have chemistry with the sub material.....And who takes a butterfly kick serious to begin with, anyways ,,,,,, if it smell slike a....dancer it probably is ,,,whoooo!!, ooh? watttaaah ?? btw bruce lee was not a fighter, but a junkie. Yes, Movies.
Xioayu is one of the harder characters for me to play and play against (she's so hard to counter attack) but I have to admit she has really fluid and pretty move sets. She's like Jun Kazma in Tekken 2 for me.
I kind of wish they commented on Fahkumram, Steve, Lidia and Dragunov. Not that I mained them, but just wondering how accurate their movement are since they're based on martial arts to right
those characters are probably the most accurate to the styles they’re based around. i suggest watching an mma fighter’s reaction to tekken 7 (under the same channel as this) because he goes a bit more in-depth with the martial arts themselves rather than character design.
Damn watching this brings me back to the tekken 3 days. I had such a good time playing that game. I must have spent hundreds of hours on that game alone.
this is great, and it may be because i'm a huge tekken fan but i wanna see them react to more tekken characters and see if they can pick out more styles of fighting from other characters, Leo, Bryan, Gigas, Lydia, etc. their insight is a lot of fun to hear.
Iron rings on the wrist is actually in many styles of Chinese Kungfu styles but one that actually uses that alot is just Hongquan. What the ring does is that it doesn't just condition your fist strength as the rings adds weight to condition it but it's also both a defensive and offensive weapon to boot. Again, with it being metal, it can deflect sword and saber strikes if the user deflects it properly and it can also be used as a pseudo-hammer and smash someone's skull in or simply break bones in a sweeping motion due to the rings being made in metal. Thus that's why when you see Hongquan practitioners, their stances are often more wide when it comes to hand stances as they have a mix of traditional boxing and sweeping attacks combined into one massive doctrine.
Thankfully they react and rank the Tekken fighters based on their respective martial arts and uniqueness. That's what I'm waiting for a long time hehehe
as an Eddy main who also practices Capoeira IRL I have to say that Tekken did an AMAZING job in showcasing the beauty and fluidity of the kicks and the acrobatics in this game. Truly the best representation of Capoeira in a video game so far!
1:25 🤦🏿♂Yeah!... when the other guy is a taekwondo black belt, he's probably going to do more kicks than anyone! Let anyone do more punches than steve fox!
I’m so happy that Ling got too spot! As a Ling main I’m bias, but she literally dancing the screen with King fu. I wish they had Lili, as her fight style is just gymnastics and slaps. But with weight!! 😂
To all those who are interested to know the Tekken Characters in this video about their fighting styles (MOST OF THEM ARE FROM REAL LIFE MARTIAL ARTS ):- 0:30 JIN - MISHIMA-RYU KARATE (a fictional martial art created but inspired from traditional classic Karate) 1:30 KAZUYA - MISHIMA-RYU KARATE 3:35 HEIHACHI - MISHIMA-RYU KARATE 4:03 PAUL - KUDO DAIDO JUKU 4:56 XIAOYU - BAQUAZHANG 8:00 LEROY - WING CHUN 9:37 FENG - HUNG GAR and CHINESE KENPO 10:33 LAW - JEET KUNE DO (INSPIRED BY THE LATE BRUCE LEE) 11:56 LEI - KUNG FU (ANIMAL STYLE KUNG-FU) (DRUNKEN BOXING/FIST KUNG-FU) 12:33 EDDY - CAPOEIRA 13:32 HWOARANG - TAE KWON DO 14:00 YOSHIMITSU - NINJUTSU 14:51 NINA - AIKIDO quite surprised these Martial artists are not familiar with some of the notable fighting styles like HUNG GAR, TAE KWON DO , AIKIDO . All i hear is " that kick is cool " oh that punch is cool". At least educate them that Tekken is based on real life Martial Arts.
yeah tbh it's pretty dissapointing how little they were able to contribute to this besides "ohh he looks so cool!" you're professionals, not random people reacting, man...
Should try ranking more Tekken characters in the future. Other characters with seemingly interesting movesets can be: Dragunov,Lili,the Ravens,Zafina, Julia,Lydia,Lars,Bob,Josie and Fahkumram
For anyone wondering why they had such a vocal reaction to the axe kick, it's not just cause it's flashy and looks cool in game. Take it from someone who got complacent in kumite and got cracked by one. A solid hit from one of those is a "Time out, grab the medics" moment. That's a full blown potential concussion right there
can't wait to see non-legacy characters for once. so many characters are well done and mocapped. but they generally tend to only show tekken 3 characters as the most updated aside from Leroy this time.
Xiaoyu's fighting style is really amazing, like her lines, shapes, her fluidit, HER STANCES, its like she's doing a classical dance as well. Im glad people with fighting knowledge acknowledges how beautifully she fights. The way she fights is the reason why i pickes her everytime i play tekken. Its just mesmerizing to look at her. ❤ she's indeed no.1
While I wouldn't call her Number 1 , her style which is (Her fighting style is officially listed as "various Chinese martial arts", in particular Baguazhang and Piguaquan.) is deffinetly interesting
@@MsKeylas its ok she's not your #1 afterall you're just a stranger in the comment section meanwhile certified martial artists rank her #1 and there opinion matters coz they know sht
@@queencard97 they ranked her number 1 because they liked her most out of just 7 characters which were shown,so there was no need to be rabid fanboy and be a dick about it. You are fan of her.I get it,but she isnt better or worse than any other characters (well except Fahk and Leroy who are trash). Xiaouyu is just very different , and That is Why they choose her as number 1
Always happy to see the Xiaoyu love! I wonder how they would react to the Tekken 8 trailers of their top 7 fighters... I guess we still need Eddy's & Yoshi's T8 trailers first @_@
The first time I ever saw capoeira was in he movie Only the Strong with Mark Dacascos. Got me really interested. Kazuya’s multiple spinning sweep into a standing kick always makes me laugh if you pause it because of how his waist and upper body looks like compared to his lower half
Paul Phoenix has been my go-to character since the 1st game. I don't play as often as I used to, but when I do, I get a kick out of it taking down players with over 10,000 wins. Nobody expects Paul Phoenix to be as badass as I make him.
Lei is a cop who can go into 5 different styles and you can incorporate them into combos moving from like crane to tiger and then snake etc. Eddy is a fire character but my favorite is Paul dude is nice.
A fact about capoeira: what you see in the streets is is usually a show, a game. What we do in the gym is a little different. In capoeira we use elbows, knees, hands, kicks, headbutts... capoeira also has many kinds of sweeps and takedown. You're right about the history.
I'm still waiting for the day we finally get one of these videos with Devil Jin, Geese or Akuma, I just wanna see if they're gonna say "that's cool" or something like "if you had wings it would not be a good idea to do that, you should focus on another style"
For context the whole mishima family (Jin included) is an exception when it comes to actually executing moves. Some of them don't look possible in real life, and some look extremely weak if they were executed in a real fight. But that's because most of the mishima fighters are 50% human 50% demon.(Heihachi is 100% human but is proved to have inhuman strenght throught out the plot of the series)
Awesome. Would have been cooler if they included Steve, King, Dragunov, their fighting styles are very specific (along with Eddy, Hwoarang, Leroy). Also it would be fun to see their reaction to Alisa's bullshit moves. Lol
I think the gameplay demo’s could’ve been better. If they had showcased a wider variety of moves it probably would’ve changed the rankings around a lot.

So kazuya's spin kicks are, in fact, actually not possible. They intentionally break physics by having his torso rotated completely around, and if you slow it down enough you see that on the model. They do it as a throwback to the original game where anatomy was more willy-nilly, and because this move is so iconic to the character that they preserve it even in an actually-impossible form.
Well obviously...
Actually it was my favorite move for Kazuya and Jin before they get rid that move for Jin...
Skill issue
they twist his body so that character's movement is fluid in motion

What the ring does is that it doesn't just condition your fist strength as the rings adds weight to condition it but it's also both a defensive and offensive weapon to boot. Again, with it being metal, it can deflect sword and saber strikes if the user deflects it properly and it can also be used as a pseudo-hammer and smash someone's skull in or simply break bones in a sweeping motion due to the rings being made in metal.
Thus that's why when you see Hongquan practitioners, their stances are often more wide when it comes to hand stances as they have a mix of traditional boxing and sweeping attacks combined into one massive doctrine.
Thankfully they react and rank the Tekken fighters based on their respective martial arts and uniqueness. That's what I'm waiting for a long time hehehe
as an Eddy main who also practices Capoeira IRL I have to say that Tekken did an AMAZING job in showcasing the beauty and fluidity of the kicks and the acrobatics in this game.
Truly the best representation of Capoeira in a video game so far!
1:25
🤦🏿♂Yeah!... when the other guy is a taekwondo black belt, he's probably going to do more kicks than anyone! Let anyone do more punches than steve fox!
I’m so happy that Ling got too spot!
As a Ling main I’m bias, but she literally dancing the screen with King fu.
I wish they had Lili, as her fight style is just gymnastics and slaps. But with weight!! 😂
To all those who are interested to know the Tekken Characters in this video about their fighting styles (MOST OF THEM ARE FROM REAL LIFE MARTIAL ARTS ):-
0:30 JIN - MISHIMA-RYU KARATE (a fictional martial art created but inspired from traditional classic Karate)
1:30 KAZUYA - MISHIMA-RYU KARATE
3:35 HEIHACHI - MISHIMA-RYU KARATE
4:03 PAUL - KUDO DAIDO JUKU
4:56 XIAOYU - BAQUAZHANG
8:00 LEROY - WING CHUN
9:37 FENG - HUNG GAR and CHINESE KENPO
10:33 LAW - JEET KUNE DO (INSPIRED BY THE LATE BRUCE LEE)
11:56 LEI - KUNG FU (ANIMAL STYLE KUNG-FU) (DRUNKEN BOXING/FIST KUNG-FU)
12:33 EDDY - CAPOEIRA
13:32 HWOARANG - TAE KWON DO
14:00 YOSHIMITSU - NINJUTSU
14:51 NINA - AIKIDO
quite surprised these Martial artists are not familiar with some of the notable fighting styles like HUNG GAR, TAE KWON DO , AIKIDO . All i hear is " that kick is cool " oh that punch is cool". At least educate them that Tekken is based on real life Martial Arts.
yeah tbh it's pretty dissapointing how little they were able to contribute to this besides "ohh he looks so cool!" you're professionals, not random people reacting, man...
Bruh, she is a Black Bellt in Tae Kwon Do - she is not "not familiar" with it. Also, there is zero Aikido in Nina's moveset they showed.
Noah you look like kenshi in Mk 1
Can't believe y'all didn't include Asuka. She's one of my favourites.
I love how they choose to show kazuya's hellsweep, rising sun and that jumping frontflip, probably his weirdest moves lol
I think the reason why some of the moves look off is because some of them are reusing animations from older games
THIS NEEDS A PART TWO WITH CHARACTERS THEY HAVE MISSED!
What i want these 2 to see the most is goku vs cell now that's a good one for them to react on the fighting combat.
You should show them all the character trailers for Tekken 8
Should try ranking more Tekken characters in the future. Other characters with seemingly interesting movesets can be: Dragunov,Lili,the Ravens,Zafina, Julia,Lydia,Lars,Bob,Josie and Fahkumram
For anyone wondering why they had such a vocal reaction to the axe kick, it's not just cause it's flashy and looks cool in game. Take it from someone who got complacent in kumite and got cracked by one. A solid hit from one of those is a "Time out, grab the medics" moment. That's a full blown potential concussion right there
Should've shown more of Lei Wulong's drunken fist.
can't wait to see non-legacy characters for once. so many characters are well done and mocapped. but they generally tend to only show tekken 3 characters as the most updated aside from Leroy this time.
Love the Xiaoyu love; she really is so iconic.
They should've included Lidia in this
THANK YOU! Lidia and Fahkumram have the most practical fighting styles in the game!
lidia, fahkumram, steve, marduk, josie, and dragunov
I knew this video was gonna be trash the second they showed Yoshimitsu.
My girl Xiaoyu still out here getting fed good and I love it…..best Tekken girl shes not going nowhere purriod 😌 and I also like Nina ♥️
Tekken is perfectly realistic game and a true representation of real life martial arts and combat sports physics.
Welcome back guys! Missed you
Yeeees Gemma & Noah together in another episode lets gooo
Xiaoyu's fighting style is really amazing, like her lines, shapes, her fluidit, HER STANCES, its like she's doing a classical dance as well. Im glad people with fighting knowledge acknowledges how beautifully she fights. The way she fights is the reason why i pickes her everytime i play tekken. Its just mesmerizing to look at her. ❤ she's indeed no.1
While I wouldn't call her Number 1 , her style which is (Her fighting style is officially listed as "various Chinese martial arts", in particular Baguazhang and Piguaquan.) is deffinetly interesting
@@MsKeylas its ok she's not your #1 afterall you're just a stranger in the comment section meanwhile certified martial artists rank her #1 and there opinion matters coz they know sht
@@queencard97 they ranked her number 1 because they liked her most out of just 7 characters which were shown,so there was no need to be rabid fanboy and be a dick about it. You are fan of her.I get it,but she isnt better or worse than any other characters (well except Fahk and Leroy who are trash). Xiaouyu is just very different , and That is Why they choose her as number 1
Congrats! On being the models for Mortal Kombat 1!
Always happy to see the Xiaoyu love! I wonder how they would react to the Tekken 8 trailers of their top 7 fighters...
I guess we still need Eddy's & Yoshi's T8 trailers first @_@
The first time I ever saw capoeira was in he movie Only the Strong with Mark Dacascos. Got me really interested.
Kazuya’s multiple spinning sweep into a standing kick always makes me laugh if you pause it because of how his waist and upper body looks like compared to his lower half
Paul Phoenix has been my go-to character since the 1st game. I don't play as often as I used to, but when I do, I get a kick out of it taking down players with over 10,000 wins. Nobody expects Paul Phoenix to be as badass as I make him.
They should've seen Jin's basic roundhouse head kick, I was so much waiting for it, the animation was so good and realistic.
It’s so crazy to think Noah is in the next mortal kombat!
Kenshiiiiiiiiiii ma man 💪🏽❤
love you Noah
Love this duo so much!
Love these two, glad to see them doing facial animation and mocap in the new mortal kombat game!
Okay no, somebody get this channel to have these two react to tekken 8 trailers, they NEED to see Tekken 8
Yesss, glad to see my girl Xiaoyu on the top 🧡🎉🎉
Lei is a cop who can go into 5 different styles and you can incorporate them into combos moving from like crane to tiger and then snake etc. Eddy is a fire character but my favorite is Paul dude is nice.
Would live to see these guys react to a choreographed tekken video, like videos from CheeseYoni for example
Wait they said they just did mocap for a game did they did mocab for the new mortal kombat game 0:18
Turning Eddie into a grappler sounds both amazing and horrifying
A fact about capoeira: what you see in the streets is is usually a show, a game. What we do in the gym is a little different. In capoeira we use elbows, knees, hands, kicks, headbutts... capoeira also has many kinds of sweeps and takedown. You're right about the history.
Xiaoyu style is not a style its seduction her fighting style is so beautiful
Yeah thats right! Universal praise for my guy Paul!! Payl main since Tekken 3 you heard!!
Omg i missed them so much
I'm really happy that you're impressed about Kazuya's moveset, because Kazuya is my favorite character in Tekken and he's OP.
@Gamology Actually, Lei's fighting style called Five Shape Style Art (include Dragon, Tiger, Panther , Crane and Snake)
I for one, love front leg jump side kick. Knee injury betrays my back leg kicks
I'm still waiting for the day we finally get one of these videos with Devil Jin, Geese or Akuma, I just wanna see if they're gonna say "that's cool" or something like "if you had wings it would not be a good idea to do that, you should focus on another style"
I'd like to see them react to the Tekken 8 trailers, mostly the Law one
Yoshi going party mode is always a fun time.
Anyone else want to see Noah and yoshi react together cuz they’ve both done videos with Gemma but never together
For context the whole mishima family (Jin included) is an exception when it comes to actually executing moves.
Some of them don't look possible in real life, and some look extremely weak if they were executed in a real fight.
But that's because most of the mishima fighters are 50% human 50% demon.(Heihachi is 100% human but is proved to have inhuman strenght throught out the plot of the series)
That Kazuya kick is called "Spinning Demon Kick", and has been fairly well replicated in real life by Eric Jacobus.
Would love to see more of this
Is that Kenshi?!
Yes. He is the face model and stuntman for Kenshi in MK1
No Leroy? I know his moves aren't flashy but they are great and Ip man was an inspiration to Bruce Lee who then inspired others
Knew Ling would be #1, her style of fighting is so beautiful
Noah is now a Kenshi?
Awesome. Would have been cooler if they included Steve, King, Dragunov, their fighting styles are very specific (along with Eddy, Hwoarang, Leroy). Also it would be fun to see their reaction to Alisa's bullshit moves. Lol
And Miguel's non move moves
I have loved Ling Xiaoyu since Tekken 3. She was always my main, however she is now tied for first place as my main alongside Asuka Kazama
I think the gameplay demo’s could’ve been better. If they had showcased a wider variety of moves it probably would’ve changed the rankings around a lot.
