I’m saying this with love, kuma is a veteran character. Simple and powerful combo will not work only players, I suggest trying out all of the characters and find which one works you the best. Look alone will not cut it when it comes to Tekken, you have to get the feel for the character💯 Don’t give up, stay grindin!💯✊🏾🔥😎
"The first episode of this long journey" Long time Afro viewers already know we finna get a whole one episode lmao. Edit: This comment aged like milk and I COULDNT BE HAPPIER
and he was using the baby menu as well. the game is so much more easier than any other tekken game even without the baby menu but he still lost. hopefully someday he can learn some good combos. all he has to do is play some more.
@@sikwitit773it all depends on a persons playstyle what works for you may not work for others. whats the point if you have a 20 hit combo and can easily perfect people. If you want to learn defence you have to be able to know how to punish and you cant do that if you dont know any combos.
I appreciate your interest in Tekken I beleive you will love it. But I will say special style is going to kill your potential. Best thing to do is take it off, head into practice mode, then learn the move list. The sample combos in practice mode will show you a glimpse of what your character is capable of. Good luck Afro!!
I think if it still allows the players to do normal inputs then it'll be really good for newer players. It'll allow them to basically fill in the gaps untill they actually learn the input or give the a taste of what moves are good for the character and their gameplan. Now if it hinders basic gameplay yeah its evil lol
@@TEKKENRAISED it doesn’t create issues with normal gameplay, thank goodness, but in comparison most special style combos deal only around half of the damage you could with a sample combo from the practice mode. I believe special style was only created for players who haven’t touched a fighting game and have hard time understanding inputs in succession for a combo. I forgot how awkward it can be trying to remember each input during a combo, but it’s something fresh players have to deal with unless they use special style until they’re ready.
Started playing Tekken when T6 came out and I'm just half way decent in the game. I'm at the point where I can beat some people but I still don't fully understand some stuff. Specialist mode is not going to teach you anything but its good to show you what the character can do, don't use it as your main form of combos.
Mannnnnnn what I've learned from watching playing and being immersed in this game for most of my life span is no one and I mean no one has yet to fully master and perceive the true depths that this game has. Everytime one think they get it someone comes up with more or find new hidden tech it's beautiful truly. I say that to say with this game your growth is fully up to you and the sky's the limit
I see Afro is approaching learning this game much like how he did with Elden Ring bosses; keep throwing himself at it until he goes through all the stages of grief and eventually wins.
14:50 if you are actually looking for an answer to this question, the special mode (the thing you just hit triangle and the game plays for you) is great if your playing a character you’ve never touched before. Gives you an idea of what they do and let’s you hit decent combos. But once you’ve got that feel, decided who you want to play. You should turn it off, hop into the lab and start figuring stuff out. Because realistically it’s locking you out of 90% of your characters moves and your offense becomes way more effective.
Good luck homie! Some people been playing this for like 20 years. but you know, YOU GOT THIS! Honestly though get into that practice mode and start learning.
I been playing tekken for 2 or so years, I started getting better after I stopped using simplified inputs in tekken 7. You can still improve while using them but you’ll improve much faster if you find a character and learn their best strings
Ive been playing tekken since 2000 starting with 3. I picked it up a few years since it released but ive been playing this series since the first time ive ever touched a controller and i cant wait to pick this one up. Afro, please come back to this game you will ascend some day. There is more to it then just attack. We believe in you
Tekken be a whole different kind of fighting game. You need that sekiro energy to master it. Being juggled relentlessly by my homie made me put down this game after Tekken 2. Seeing you getting juggled giving me PTSD.
This is my experience coming back to Tekken having not played since Tekken 3. Needless to say I lost every match. For 2 days straight. Won some rounds. Now I’ve won some matches and have drastically improved. Just keep it up and literally roll with the punches lol you’ll get better. Been trying to post my progress and journey on RUclips myself but hard with doing it from Xbox.
Advice on teching throws: three throws (1 , 2, or 1+2) and they are broken by pressing the corresponding input. You know what throw you’re getting hit with based off looking at the leading hand when your getting grabbed and if both hands are leading it’s 1+2 . Due to king being the “true grappler” he can break the traditional rule of you seeing his hands and teching correctly so it real mix on some of his grabs even if it’s react-able
Tekken players are another breed afro, I spent years of my teenage years playing tekken 6 the ai leads you to a false sense of security when you beat them 😂, keep playing bro its a massive learning curve, love your content keep at it!!
One big thing that would help is learning wakeup options. Afro did the same one over and over again which led to people basically infiniting him. The last person, Courier was honestly similar skill level to Afro but Afro just couldnt break anything w/o meter
@@TEKKENRAISED one of the most important thing in almost every arena fighter like MK, Street Fighter, Tekken, Guilty Gear, and Smash (which includes ledge “wakeup”). Tho Naruto Storm and DBZ games, stress it alot less due to having a vanishing system
LMAO Tekken has had a mainstream casual base since Tekken 3. Where have YOU been? x-D Nothing has changed since the PSX days, except the gameplay has been dumbed down more and more every generation
10:12 oh shit thats kenny from Yovideogames giving you hands LMAO. Tekken is hard but i could see you lock in on tekken. Then again i know better. Im gonna enjoy this one video and cherish it.
I’ve been playing since Tekken 3. I was 5 at the time when my brother introduced me to the series and I’ve been playing ever since. It took me 20 years to get good and im 25 now.
You're the first RUclipsr I watched that plans to play this game online, being a "casual" player. I'm excited to see your progress, maybe you can be so good we will see you on the competitive scene. Good luck!
omg I enjoy the shit out of this video JUST IMAGINE AFRO actually Grind and learn this game omg that would be so hype this is a great start to his journey
Pre-watch comment: Super excited to see this. I can't play fighting games because I get bored within an hour, but I'm amped to experience this through you. Gimme that vicarious exp Afro!
14:52 Specialist gives you combos, but the game ain't just combos lmao. The game gives you sauce, but it's up to you to learn how to make the whole dish.
Afro I have been playing this since I was 7 years old with my uncle and if not for him I would have never gotten good at Tekken so trust me. Bro you will get better over time
Hey Afro, you can tech regular grabs with either square or triangle and command grabs where the character grabs with both hands at the same time would be square and triangle at the same time
Azucena's low grab can be tech'd with a quick down input (if you are crouching already, keep holding down) and you will break free and kick her in the face for a small chunk of health.
I genuinely think playing the old games helps you get acclimated to everything as mechanics grow and combos and offense gets crazier, even if you just do an arcade mode and play some versus with friends. Definitely recommend trying some of the old games
I think T7 plays the same as T8 aside from heat system, same song and dance, more barebones. Understanding frames, side stepping, and learning character matchups is very important.
Nah trust me, I've played every game since tk2. You don't wanna start with any other games than this. Of course there's legacy skills that carry over but this is the first game where the game actually teaches you how to play properly. Tekken 7 is similar but not the same. You'll just be confused. Almost all of the combos have been completely reworked. 8 is the way too go.
@@thejoekage9499do you play either games? Because that's not true at all. All the tornado attacks have been reworked, most characters have total different combo enders and wall finishers. Tekken 7 is useless now. New players should most definitely start with 8. Look up fighting gm and see what he says about being new to the game. Ask any pro and they'll tell you to start with 8.
@@WavyJayZ I never said start with 7, the guy i was replying too was talking about playing the older games. Tekken 8 has the best tutorials any fighting games ever had. Tekken has never been good for new comers trying to wrap their head around the game.
Afro out here playing Tekken like it's Ninja Storm. I'd say to choose a character that you like and then spend some time learning their moves in practice mode before going into ranked since most players there are familiar with Tekken now
Welcome to the cruel world of tekken where every match is a boss fight There is definitely a character that better suits you and learning the moves is essential It may not seem like it but king you fought first had insane skills to pull of those impossible grapples Try a other character we all know the power you have Thanks for the years of content man❤ You got this
@@generbor2432 no the continuous grapples has like 7 inputs for each section he did like 3 consecutively King the character has more than just the normal grapple each character has like every character has their own special moves kings special is grappling but having to consecutively keep on with 1 single grapple is alot of practice In tekken 5 his longest grapple was like 6 or 7 continuous grapples but it's like 50 inputs that has to be perfectly timed

You’re my favorite RUclipsr man STILL now and I been rolling laughing week to week since highschool 😭. SO HYPE THIS SERIES IS OUT. Dumped 1000+ hours in to T7 . When I first started tekken it looked a lot like this too !! SO HERE FOR THIS !
Been playing Tekken for nearly 25 years You just need to block more tbh, and learn what your meters and moves actually do to yourself and your opponents. You’ll immediately see improvement. T8 imo is one of the best Tekkens to date when it comes to very clearly telling you how its played in multiple ways. Also you may not have realized, but you kept turning SS and normal mode on and off, meaning you were constantly changing what your buttons do mid match. I’ve got faith in your journey bro.
First, turn off the assist mode. Second, learn a couple good moves to use in neutral, like lows, and quick jabs etc. Third, get your happy self into Practice mode, and check out some combos! I've been casually playing tekken since 3. I've been competitive since tekken 7 launched. It's never too late to get into it ❤🎉
A really good way to learn any fighting game is practice not to mash buttons while you are getting hit. It's best to hold the back button to guard first and wait for the opponent to finish their attack, and then it's your turn to attack them. Also, watch out for low attacks and throws. Good thing you can tech normal throws with any punch button.
Triangle+ Square is ur grab. U can use it to reverse their grab. Definitely practice ur blocking for sure but good effort afro 🤘🏾 and welcome to tekken.
I didn't start tekken until 7 came out in my sophmore year of college. It took like a month and a few hours every day before I became apprentice level. I also go into training mode with the nicest feeling character I can find and don't leave until i download at least 10 into my brain. Idk what you be doing in the background cuz I don't use twitch assuming that's where you be chilling nowadays. TLDR you just gotta take a few days to feel like you worth something and see results imo
I gotta say Afro for a first time this is good, I can see the potential king! Some tips I can say is that holding back is how you block kinda like DBFZ. Holding Down + back blocks lows. Also L1 turns special mode on/off, so if you suddenly stop doing combos that’s why. Good luck on journey my guy! You got this!
Don't let that discourage you. When I first played Tekken I was absolutely Garbo. But after time progress Claudio is now my main and he's untouchable. You got this man!
Make sure to put the difficulty on the highest 😈 Been playing Tekken since Tekken 3. Xiaoyu has always been one of my mains. Hopefully you play around with everyone to find at least 3 mains u wanna use. Would love to see you compete in tournaments in future 💯
Bro, the way they just made Tekken more friendly to play, is just welcoming in my book and they nailed this game, I Love using King now... will probably be my main, huge kudos to you Namco!

This was such a great series. Hate to see it come to an end 😂
Bro you ran away at 12:00 for nothing😂😂
You’re my favorite RUclipsr man STILL now and I been rolling laughing week to week since highschool 😭. SO HYPE THIS SERIES IS OUT. Dumped 1000+ hours in to T7 . When I first started tekken it looked a lot like this too !! SO HERE FOR THIS !
Let’s not lie to ourselves. This is going to be another “series” that’s going to collect dust
The Specialty move set is great for beginners, but it limits the moves you can do, making you more predictable, can't wait to see the growth Afro!
if boy thought Guardian Ape was hard just wait til you come up against a high rank Hwoarang or Eddy online 😭
Eddie is dlc he not out yet thank god😭😭😭 but lars is a problem
Lars will make you feel like a victim
Lars has been creating victims for a good 16 years now! 😂
Stick it outttt Afro, Evo in no time 😮💨
Takken 8 is the best fighter out today
I’m beginning to think we are just all bad at tekken 😂
Content like this is exactly why I stay subscribed to Afro😎
Now here's my question: who is everyone going to main?
learned 7 combos for hwoarang, lots of time spent training/arcade. How about you?
@@Yungin349 honestly, I'm a spectator; I don't have the console or PC specs to play T8
I've been a Lars and Lili main But I really want to pick up Reina for this game
@@ShirouBrando And I do not blame you
Don't care what anyone says. As a taekwondo person myself I'm out here with my boy Hwoarang
Been playing Tekken for nearly 25 years
You just need to block more tbh, and learn what your meters and moves actually do to yourself and your opponents. You’ll immediately see improvement. T8 imo is one of the best Tekkens to date when it comes to very clearly telling you how its played in multiple ways.
Also you may not have realized, but you kept turning SS and normal mode on and off, meaning you were constantly changing what your buttons do mid match.
I’ve got faith in your journey bro.
This man Afro casually went against Kenny/Unroolie lol what are the odds?
He said it was before official release so it was mainly content creators online then
@@adthedark1811 That's true! I just didn't expect it to be someone I actually recognized haha.
Afro I’m new to tekken also, but what I found that helps is pokes and small combos, then knowing the good moves and the move-set, then the big combos
Why lie to him like he don’t need training 🤷🏿♂️
@mickie5530 you right he was just holding back his skills for content 😭
The game is easy to low to mid ranks when u hit intermediate to high u will get fried without knowledge frame data and advanced techniques/movement
Man playing on Special Style like this is Naruto Storm 4.
Yeah.... Afro needs to hop onto the hyperbolic because he gonna need a training arc.
We need a story mode playthrough
First, turn off the assist mode.
Second, learn a couple good moves to use in neutral, like lows, and quick jabs etc.
Third, get your happy self into Practice mode, and check out some combos!
I've been casually playing tekken since 3. I've been competitive since tekken 7 launched. It's never too late to get into it ❤🎉
Oh snap is that Kenny?
A really good way to learn any fighting game is practice not to mash buttons while you are getting hit. It's best to hold the back button to guard first and wait for the opponent to finish their attack, and then it's your turn to attack them. Also, watch out for low attacks and throws. Good thing you can tech normal throws with any punch button.
We all know how this gonna go 🤣
Afro keep the assistant mode thingie on by pressing L1, this give you kinda saved up combos by pressing simple buttons
Future me here, present afro don’t need this beta shit
Triangle+ Square is ur grab. U can use it to reverse their grab. Definitely practice ur blocking for sure but good effort afro 🤘🏾 and welcome to tekken.
Bro that is not your throw😂😂 regular grab is always punch+kick. You giving out bad info talking about "welcome to tekken" tryna set my boy up 😂😂😂
I didn't start tekken until 7 came out in my sophmore year of college. It took like a month and a few hours every day before I became apprentice level. I also go into training mode with the nicest feeling character I can find and don't leave until i download at least 10 into my brain. Idk what you be doing in the background cuz I don't use twitch assuming that's where you be chilling nowadays. TLDR you just gotta take a few days to feel like you worth something and see results imo
You need to defend bro😂😂😂
I gotta say Afro for a first time this is good, I can see the potential king!
Some tips I can say is that holding back is how you block kinda like DBFZ. Holding Down + back blocks lows. Also L1 turns special mode on/off, so if you suddenly stop doing combos that’s why. Good luck on journey my guy! You got this!
You need a tutorial bro
Don't let that discourage you. When I first played Tekken I was absolutely Garbo. But after time progress Claudio is now my main and he's untouchable. You got this man!
Get in the lab my G, they actually have a really really good training program in this installment. Winners never quit. 💪🏿
Make sure to put the difficulty on the highest 😈
Been playing Tekken since Tekken 3. Xiaoyu has always been one of my mains. Hopefully you play around with everyone to find at least 3 mains u wanna use. Would love to see you compete in tournaments in future 💯
Bro, the way they just made Tekken more friendly to play, is just welcoming in my book and they nailed this game, I Love using King now... will probably be my main, huge kudos to you Namco!
i miss this series so much im watching it again
pls bring it back afro
