Showing up to a tournament and playing a character you voiced is such a cool fan service idea. It really creates this perfect win win situation for all parties involved. The crowd and the viewers will go wild whether its a surprise for them or not so its definitely a win for them. The tournament will get more attention so its a win for the event. And it will spread the word about the VA and their resume extremely organically so its a win for them as well. I love this idea of hers so much
THIS is what fighting games need. New players being taught by professionals and getting them into the scene through videos. Show that its possible to get better and for it to not be a complete slogfest.
I had to check the date on this video 'cause I SWORE I saw a video of her playing a character she voiced recently. I eventually remembered she was on Sajam's channel playing AKI a little while ago! She's awesome and I'm jealous of her talents..!
That's really cool, I remember seeing her play AKI on stream once, and I had no idea about Ling or Metera. Watching VAs play is also pretty great with all the funny noises and impressions they make.
I know Faye from WCG Ultimate Gamer :) i sent in a reel to try and get on..she eventually did in. I think she got to play Virtua Fighter during that WCG gaming.
By Xiaoyu's VA, you mean her English one. To be fair, her current Japanese VA Maaya Sakamoto has been voicing the character since Tekken: Blood Vengeance. 🤨
I'd say it goes on a person to person basis. i only slide for specific inputs and in not even conscious about it. but generally speaking i don't. Not saying it doesn't work but it's definitely a preference
This is for her English VA from Tekken Bloodlines. Her current Japanese VA is Maaya Sakamoto who's been voicing the character since Tekken: Blood Vengeance and TTT2.
@@sayedomairsiam6344 No I pretty sure she* is speaking Chinese. She was born and raised in China with Wang and was a student at Mishima High School in Japan.
Not really the moveset for each character is very detailed and gives you good combo examples. But I guess ranking it to the easy and hardest characters might help new players out.
@@SonOfSparda2024 but the fact that Phi has taken it upon himself to teach new players rather than the game being the one to teach them is so odd to me. Granted, Phi is pretty passionate about Tekken and teaching other people about Tekken, but the game itself is just like "welp, here you go."
What are you talking about lmao? They are trying really hard. Just tekken 7 ago you would have to buy the ability to check frame data. It's basically a day and night comparison with how feature rich the tekken 8 trainings mode is.
While I doubt that she'll be dropping this game, Xiaoyu has historically been one of the hardest characters to master in the Tekken series in general thanks to her numerous stances, setups, and long movelist. Definitely not a beginner friendly character at all. Also, what you just said was very disrespectful to women in general. 😤
@@guitarsoupify appreciate you grammar police. Now pretend I’m speaking about a man and replace **woman with the word man. Do I still have deep unresolved subconscious issues?
bro you gotta chill its not like shes learning xiaoyu so she can play tekken 24/7. did you forget that people play video games for fun or something lol. she has a life and job unlike people being negative in the comments of a yt video. props to her for wanting to learn in the first place, and for a cool and fun reason even
For those showing up to try and act like PhiDX is somehow tricking you, he says right upfront at 1:16 "For Tekken the anime, Tekken Bloodlines, she voiced Ling Xiaoyu." So if you were hoping for Maaya Sakamoto, Phi hasn't had the chance to run matches against her (yet).
I'm so thankful for these beginner coaching videos! it really helps break down the giant wall of information that you feel like have to learn all at once, and you give us a nice progression pipeline for how to learn the game. And seeing you problem solve through each player's learning process, how you capitalize on what they're picking up easily and how you find solutions for what they struggle with is helping me problem solve my own learning bottlenecks. I especially loved how you broke down the bread and butter combos at the end. I've avoided learning combos for so long because so many "bread and butter combos" videos just barrage you with 15 different combos all at once with no explanation for how they work. Seeing you narrow it down to "here's one combo that applies to a bunch of launchers to learn first" is really enlightening.
Phi, just wanted to say, you're an incredible teacher. Your ability to clearly explain things, combined with your patience and empathy make you perfect for the job. I say this as someone who has casually played Tekken for over 25 years, and is only now finally learning how the game actually works, thanks to your videos. Keep up the great work!
She didn't. She only voiced her in the netflix show Tekken Bloodline. Yumi Toma is the original voice actor, Maaya Sakamoto is the current voice actor and has been for almost everything past Tekken 6.
Please continue with these coaching sessions with people!!! I love listening to insightful coaching tips from you because it is also how i learn to get better at tekken! This is my first ever fighting game that i have taken seriously and just reached assailant just now because of your insight on how to play reyna from sydeon's coaching session. I may not be the one being coached but learning the fundamentals of the game and not character specific guides have been a huge help in tekken 8! keep up the great work :)
That was pretty cool. It reminds me of my journey of piloting Xiaoyu back in Tekken 4 when I switched to her being my main. I forgot how difficult she is to use at first because I've been using her for dang near 20 years.
Dude I can see why a lot of people are going to Phi to learn Tekken 8. He is clear, patient and just genuinely happy to teach new people learn a game that he loves. Stuff awesome and Phi is killing it right now.
he truly went hollywood 😭
damn who is HeDX
our goat is going places
Hope he wasn’t at the Diddy parties😶

the phidx rizz is unmatched
What rizz?
he has a gf stfu
As a gamer, talking to any woman for more 2 minutes is seen as rizz
Go outside
cringe

Faye Mata!? Phi is just getting all the collabs now...also you're like 300 people away from 100K! Early congratulations!
Congratulations on 100k subscribers!
Congratulations on 100K
Thank you KingJae!

Love Faye! I remember when I used to watch her Pokken Tournament stuff way back in the day! She was cracked in that game!
You should make a series of this. Every tekken 8 roster their actor plays their character. If they agree to it that is.
I didn’t even know she voiced xiaoyu. The Faye mata
Professor be moving places
Awesome video Phi 🎉🙌
first RDC now the voice actor for Lulu... PhiDX is slowly creating an army of mini celebrity xiaoyu mains
The Phi and Faye tag team lets go
Congrats on 100k phi
Wait I thought Maaya Sakamoto was Xiaoyu VA? Is there a secret all EN dub in the game?
Could you bring back the xiaoyu guide🙏🏻
By Xiaoyu's VA, you mean her English one. To be fair, her current Japanese VA Maaya Sakamoto has been voicing the character since Tekken: Blood Vengeance. 🤨
It also has to be from the tekken netflix series no? Because voices are universal for every version of the game right?
ye bro I got clickbaited lmao but nah good vid tho
Since Tag 2 actually.
clickbait as well
@@HoDoBoDo Yeah, that too since both were released around the same timeframe. My bad. 😓
Hell yeah, Faye.
haven't seen the video yet, but she should be good with buttons and reactions. Already trained with Sajam in SF6 a while ago.
Oh its Faye?! Isnt she involved in Pokémon as well, or am I tripping?
is doing the challenge combos the wrong way to start for new players? is that why we seeing sample combos 1st?
Both work, I just prefer the sample combos for the UI
I'm not the coach and this may only apply to controller, but sliding your thumb to the next input has helped me with combos
I'd say it goes on a person to person basis. i only slide for specific inputs and in not even conscious about it. but generally speaking i don't. Not saying it doesn't work but it's definitely a preference
Our boi really got into hollywood
I need a phidx teaches reina video continuing from the last one w Sydeon
that distracting light on mix box behind him.
Pretty cool content!
"its not gonna go crazy like that" that's the biggest lie he said in his lifetime
100K soon. :-D
im ready to win evo :D as a ling main i love it !
lingnation is in love right now hahahahaha
Tekken professor in the making
congratulations you played yourself
I'm 50 seconds in and yoooooo that lidia shirt
I thought the Japanese VA
The Astolfo monster girl huh
I would love a private lesson with PhiDX
Everyone would love some private sessions with PhiDX
🤨📸
My goodness she is beautiful
really not sure what they were thinking wen thy called it heat mode. wen animals go into heat its errr yep... haha
she doesnt sound like xiaoyo 😭
Tekken bloodline not the actual game
Huh? I thought Xiaoyu speak Japanese
She spoke English in the animated series I believe
This is for her English VA from Tekken Bloodlines. Her current Japanese VA is Maaya Sakamoto who's been voicing the character since Tekken: Blood Vengeance and TTT2.
You mean Chinese, Xiaoyu is from China. And the english VA is from the Netflix series Tekken Bloodline.
@akilcharles3473 lol, Xiaoyu is from China but I said SPEAK JAPANESE cuz he speaks Japanese since she was raised in Japan
@@sayedomairsiam6344 No I pretty sure she* is speaking Chinese. She was born and raised in China with Wang and was a student at Mishima High School in Japan.
Imagine a Woman winning EVO Tekken
Is that DSG PhiDX? I'm so cringe im sorry.
She is beautiful
Damn Phi, you really slidin' in them DMs now boi
LilyPichu vs Faye soon ? xD
It's kinda heartbreaking that Namco did the bare minimum when it comes to teaching new people how to play.
Not really the moveset for each character is very detailed and gives you good combo examples. But I guess ranking it to the easy and hardest characters might help new players out.
If this was Tekken 7 I'd agree, but they did a lot in 8 for beginners.
@@SonOfSparda2024 but the fact that Phi has taken it upon himself to teach new players rather than the game being the one to teach them is so odd to me. Granted, Phi is pretty passionate about Tekken and teaching other people about Tekken, but the game itself is just like "welp, here you go."

@@garaktartv3647U guys had to buy frame data😭😭in so grateful for the current game now😅
The VA speaking English is so weird to me lol
It's not the Tekken 8 VA. This is clickbait.
One of the few occasions where the VA is more attractive than the character being voiced.
nice bait this is the anime dub not her actual va
He literally says that in the intro
gotta start paying more attention bud
Did you think you cooked with this or smth? She literally voice acted for xiayou what the actual fuck do you mean “actual va”
@@josephomalley7628 I meant the voice actress who actually voices her in the game maybe.
@@WzDk13 Well he obviously isn't going to be teaching a Female Seiyuu who doesn't speak English... What did you expect?
I fully expect this women to drop this game in a matter of weeks. Xiaoyu is not a beginner friendly pick up and play type of character.
the fact that you felt the need to phrase it as "this women" (nice spelling) is indicative of some issues you have
While I doubt that she'll be dropping this game, Xiaoyu has historically been one of the hardest characters to master in the Tekken series in general thanks to her numerous stances, setups, and long movelist.

Upfront would be the video title.
@@Pervy Or the anime character in the thumbnail.
thank you for clarifying, was confused for a minute...
@@PervyHe essentially did seeing as he has a teaser which is not uncommon in his channel. The intro clears it up rather quickly.
That was not upfront at all. The thumbnail shows in-game Xiaoyu, not anime Xiaoyu. This was obvious clickbait.
VA for Both Xiaoyu AND AKI, nice.
phi is sending an army of celebrities to evo
When you gonna teach t-pain how play leroy
That would be sick
She was also on the reality tv show, WCG Ultimate Gamer Season 2 with Justin Wong.

just thinking of PhiDX...
coaching girls: "yeah, you are doing pretty good! "
coaching bois: *turns into Gordon Ramsay*
Still not used to the phrase "when she's in heat"
for a sec I thought you got Maaya Sakamoto 🤣
I keep forgetting that Faye voiced Xiaoyu on T8. Got her picture a long ass time ago at Anime Expo when she cosplayed as Ibuki from SF
She didn't. She only voiced her in the netflix show Tekken Bloodline. Yumi Toma is the original voice actor, Maaya Sakamoto is the current voice actor and has been for almost everything past Tekken 6.
@nu4473 oh, so she isn't the voice actress on T8? My mistake
@@nu4473 I was confuse for a sec lmao
For a second I thought I would have been Maya Sakamoto
Wait wait voice actress! We need to give more recognition
i love her she voices Aqua in the Konosuba dub
This is going to get a lot of views.
Faye Mata is also the VA of AKI!
thought you were talking about Maaya :(
Faye is funny as hell, she makes me laugh

On first thought it was Maaya Sakamoto and I was like dfac is going on? I am gonna see it.
i would love to watch more Xiaoyu coaching video
How can I get a coaching session there Phi?
she seems super nice
oh shit FayeDX!
ROAD TO 100K AND SILVER BUTTTON
its coach phidx to us nowadays im loving it

Did she also voice Aerith in ff7 rebirth?
No that's Brianna White she even has her own yt channel called strange rebel gaming
@@thedarkderp2520 japanese
🤘🏽🤘🏽
"you're a great teacher "
i would say that too
I expected you to ask her to do voice lines 😂is that cringe?? This looks like it was a lot of fun
Such a cool collaboration🎉 SF6 Aki’s voice is so cool!
Dude I can see why a lot of people are going to Phi to learn Tekken 8. He is clear, patient and just genuinely happy to teach new people learn a game that he loves. Stuff awesome and Phi is killing it right now.
Omg i saw the xiaoyu begginer guide! Please make it public again, i love the vid
Nice clickbait.
What is that jank-ass AI image youre using when she talks?
That is her discord profile picture
This is unmatched hater energy.
That's just what she looks like, the ai brainrot is real.
