      Can confirm as a mid level orange player. Lot of people who've climbed ranks relying on gimmicks that lowers don't have the knowledge to deal with, or people like me who are improving but still occasionally fall back on bad habits (personally I'd call myself an inconsistent player). Vids like these advising the lower ranks can still be useful for better but still incomplete players. Concepts to keep in mind, and new perspectives on the game that you might not have considered. Or simply basic things that might have slipped your mind.

    This is the rank I thought I would just get to reach my whole Tekken experience. I had humble expectations.
    Still, guides like this helped me avoid that fate and I came away with 2 things that immensely helped me with improvement. Peter mentioned these but focusing on them really helped my fundamentals at the time.
    Firstly, this is the rank where mostly people would love to combo incessantly and throw out launchers left and right. So, take advantage and practice your block punishing of df2's, hopkicks and things of the ilk.
    Secondly, start getting used to blocking seeable lows. Bit hard to do depending on connection quality but that may help with reads as well. To add to this, since you have blocked the low, go for gradually improving punishes.

    • @PeterYMao
      @PeterYMao  4 года назад +7

      For sure. Definitely something to watch out for launchers and seeable lows. Though seeable lows can be tricky because at 4 bars even 25-27 frame seeables can be difficult to react to.

    • @mitomidou
      @mitomidou 2 года назад

      @Si0NE somewhat good would be generous. Started 2018 and it took me about 2 years to get somewhat decent. Everybody's style and improvement curve is different, but personally I thought I started understanding the game when I could start making adjustments against opponents rather than just impose my playstyle on to them. Guides like this video and discussions by Swe, BlastedSalami and such helped out with building context on how to approach the game in general and with a specific character.

      Jabs and d/f+1 for the most part are "nearly" unlaunchable on whiff except when you got a hard read on your opponent. The recovery is so fast that when you see them, it's hard to confirm that they whiffed. None the less capitalizing where you can is very important.

    After years of being in the silver ranks with Steve in Tekken Revolution and part of Tekken 7, another couple of years in the blue ranks and a few months ago in the green ones, I was only able to reach Warrior rank today. It has been a very long and tortuous road of many, many defeats, to reach that yellow rank. I know I'll rank down at some point, but I know I can rank up again. The Tekken fundamentals content on your channel helped me a lot. If I had known earlier, perhaps I would have ranked up much faster. As well as the content of ThatBlastedSalami and its long videos, especially one with Steve who helped me get to know the character in depth and TheMainMan for shaping my mindset in each fight and rank, all of that helped me grow as a player. Again, very grateful for the advice in your videos, they have helped me a lot, I hope you're doing well.

      @@mrman-yj3bn I don't remember how many wins it took me to get out of the blue ranks, but I had a win rate of no more than 30%. Surely there were many defeats that I had. The thing about learning the basics of Tekken with Steve is really hard, because you don't have all the options that an average character has. So in order to move forward with Steve or with a difficult character, you have to learn 3 fundamental things:
      1.- Learn the fundamentals of Tekken.
      2.- Learn to use your character and its gameplan.
      3.- Learn the matchup of the entire roster of the game.
      There is no other shorter way to do it. The third point can be somewhat overwhelming. At first it is not necessary to learn all the matchups in the game. Just focus on the things your opponents throw at you the most and annoy you. Then, go to the lab to find out how to punish or avoid them. Experience will give you the answer to get around the different matchups as you learn them. Now that I've reached Genbu, I can say that I "understand the game", but I still can't get good at it, nor with Steve. As long as the character gives you satisfaction, no matter how difficult it is, it is worth the effort to continue playing it.

    • @mrman-yj3bn
      @mrman-yj3bn Год назад

      @Fco2k7 Thanks for the tips man really appreciate it.I am mainly struggling with 2 things at the moment. 1 is doing efficient damage when I punish. Every time I look up how to do steve combos and juggles, it's like learning how to solve the davinchi code.
      And 2 is low attack spam and mix up, choloe Katarina law and King and even heachi have been rolling me. With that being said, I have gotten a lot better at noticing laws lows and pressuring chloe so much that she can't set up low combos.
      How many matches do you have before finding a new player? I usually go for best of 3 or 5 but sometimes I feel like I'm just wasting time, other times I look for a new player and the new player ends up being sombody with 500 kazuya wins and I get demolished.

    • @Fco2k7
      @Fco2k7 Год назад

      @@mrman-yj3bn 1.- More than learning how to do good damage with combos after punishing, learn Steve's gameplan. This consists of 2 things:
      a.-Make a good poke game, for later:
      b.-Perform Counter Hits (or Frametrap for the most Tekken characters).
      After you master that, all you need to know is any basic Steve combo on Counter Hit, nothing fancy one.
      The important thing is that you manage to make a combo that is easy and consistent. With more practice and confidence, you will be able to implement more difficult and damaging combos.
      Believe me, the hardest thing to learn with Steve is his game plan: have a good poke game to cause irritation on your opponent, to see his reaction and analyze what he throws at you. When you have studied your opponent and know when he is going to respond to you, launch a Counter Hit Launcher at him.
      2.- One of Steve's weak points is being attacked with lows, because Steve attacks most of the time with highs and mids, leaving his lower zone unprotected because he has slow lows to poke.
      The only thing that remains there is to learn to block low, when you have the "read" that a low is coming. You do that when you have analyzed your opponent and know their game patterns or flowcharts.
      You can choose to make a low parry to have more options, but it is better to know when you are going to be thrown one and evaluate if that low is punishable or not.
      The best option is to worry about blocking visible lows, which go beyond 22 or 23 frames and up. Any low below 23 frames, it's better to take the hit and keep blocking back normally.
      When you know you're getting the same fast low after a string or every so often, you can guess and make a low block.
      The best advice to get out of low ranks is: If you don't know your opponent's matchup, just backdash and wait for their reaction.
      Check out ThatBlastedSalami's video of the almost 2 hour overview he did about Steve Fox lol. There I learned a lot about the character and how to use it.

      @@mrman-yj3bn Before I only played to win 2 matches and then I left to play with another one. The problem with that is you don't learn your opponent's matchup, no matter how good he/she is. If you want to scale fast on ranks, you can cherry-pick an opponent to choose the matchups that favor you, but sooner or later you will get strong opponents and you won't know how to deal with them if you don't know their matchup. Now I don't fight for ranks, I fight to learn how to surpass my opponent. If I don't understand how to beat him, I go to the lab to find out how to punish his most used moves.

    Proper spacing has always been one of my weaknesses. Way too often, I'm either too close, I'm at range where I can't land anything significant, or I'm too far away to capitalize when someone else whiffs.
    I may have said something similar before, but I think a lot of green ranks will come into a match with one gameplan, launcher into big combo for example, and won't deviate from that plan even if it isn't working.

    • @PeterYMao

      Spacing will become more important later on. The further up in the ranks you go, the harder it will be to space as the opponent's movement will get better and better.

    Well.. I lost my saves files, and started from beginning. 1 evening - purple ranks. So top 5 of my personal errors:
    1 Do not labbing - just fight and you’ll be best. But if you dont labbing you doesnt know 80% of game.
    2 Backdash and wavedash? - i dont need that technic. Just def. But if you dont need that - eat lows mate.
    3 I thinked that high and low pokes is a ”pressure”. But high and low pokes is a same moves - all that my opponents needed is a duck.
    4 I learned combos first and thinked that ”hell yeah! Lets rock!” But right way to know character - find his mid moves and strings with mid, find all ch moves, and find his launchers. After that you need to know his safe moves. And only after this - his combos.

      PeterYMao agreed but i think it has to be used the right way which a green rank player may not understand so quick, for example they might finish the string off even though the opponent is blocking which would lead to a free juggle - not an issue at the time but it would be an issue later on if it becomes a habit. With that said i think if they learn to delay punches it could serve to be valuable

    Hey Peter what is Bryan’s button to beat hop kick or choice back dash and then… idk 😅

    • @PeterYMao
      @PeterYMao  3 года назад +1

      To beat hop kicks, your best option is to be patient and punish it. If you want to float an opponent out of a hopkick jabs are good or generic d/f+1 or even magic 4 are good. Buttons basically that are fast.

    Im learning Kazuya currently, and his hopkick is needlessly impossible. I get the jumping hellsweep 99% of the time. Ewgf is a waay better launcher (duh)

    Whiffs and spacing are hard, this is why either I pull my hair out whenever I whiff

    • @PeterYMao
      @PeterYMao  4 года назад

      The more you make a conscious decision to not whiff the more likely you are to not whiff. Spacing is something that no one ever masters 100%. Even the best players whiff xD

    I'm in purple ranks and I still don't use throws. Only ff1+2 to catch opponents off guard and end rounds. I always forget chains.

    Anna's snake edge is basically unreactable online. But I agree you only must use those evasive risky launchers on a read

    • @PeterYMao
      @PeterYMao  4 года назад +1

      Yup, even then you're risking a lot. However, Anna's is a special case. She's a... special kinda girl in Tekken :P

    Re: 9:25 yoloing Bryans f4 1 - in green and yellow ranks Its actually amazing how often people eat the second hit when the first one whiffs. I actually do this intentionally quite a bit, but if the opponent doesn't fall for it I try not to do it again.

    • @PeterYMao
      @PeterYMao  4 года назад +1

      I like how you don't do it again if the opponent doesn't fall for it :)

    Would you ever do a volume 2 to this
    Or even a low rank character guide
    Giving tips like, “as a Steve you want to be using df2” for example

    • @PeterYMao
      @PeterYMao  4 года назад

      If I were to do a character guide I would not be doing a low rank character guide but rather a detailed character guide.
