Let me know if you guys wanna see more videos like this. I started my tekken journey only a few years ago so I feel I have a unique perspective on being a new player, as I experienced being new to tekken far more recently then most other creators. I know its rough starting out but just keep focusing on your improvement and you will see results. Don't give up!
This video is what I need right now. Especially now. I'm at +/- 11-13 Dan and I'm loosing my mind. Can't win anything, can't move even. Only thing I can do is to watch my ass being kicked time after time. But promised to myself that I won't give up. And then your video showed up. It's nice to know that this is normal. Kinda feel better now. Thank you.
I don't care about the rank, but I do care about playing against people with the same resources than me. They all play with the simplified combos and juet by pressing one or two buttons they get my HP chipped by 1/4 or more. No matter how much I block, they do Heat Engages. No matter how much I dodge or parry, they still keep spamming. No matter how low I get them. They always survive my last hit just at 1 pixel in order to Rage Art me and kill me. It's so damn frustrating. Last Tekken I played seriously was Tekken 5 and I wanted to go all in with Tekken 8, but they don't make it fun at all for me...
Any chance you could do one of those 'im playing reina online and this is my thought process as I'm playing the match ' type of video? I always feel knowing why and when something is done, the reasoning behind what youre doing, helps the most when learning. I saw mainman do similar, but he's a kazuya player.
I agree with all of this. The multiple character and mental state. I have a bit of a short temper, not just in tekken, but in general. Im working on it and im alot better with it in and out of Tekken. I find if i start getting frustrated switching between my 3 favorites Reina, Victor, and King really helps. It just kinda puts me in a new mental state and turns it all around. Great video, already subbed, but just wanted to say that
That comment about at the start of being a veteran who hasn't touched Tekken in 20 years is so true. I wasn't really good then, but my last real Tekken was T3 lol. Such a long gap and I'm back trying to prepare myself for the legends and gods online. Trying to prepare before I jump into online. Been practicing for the past week.
Stuck in dominator rn but this vid helps so much! Been realizing i've been playing more as to rank up and not understanding how the game's characters/mechanics work but will def take my time more with ranked 🙏
Great timing as I had a mini meltdown about rank 2 days ago which made me have to take a step back and reasses why I’m playing the game. I’ll use the tips here and see how far I can go
simple but great advices! i was in the green ranks smashing buttons till last week, to day i tried to set a pattern for my paul and keep trying to understand what options i can use for every adversary and now i got to yellow ranks and clibing. i was always a paul player since tekken 1, i tried reina because she is awesome, now i have to completly differents mains, im still learning about reina and im having fun with her. congratz to your nice content
This helps so much. I'm still new to Tekken 8. I played Tekken 7 but never seriously invested time into it until I decided to become more invested in the fighting game genre. I come from SF6 to Tekken 8 so there is a big leap in game mechanics and such. So far I main Steve because I like the boxer style of fighting plus he has no kicks lol (really committing to boxing). I knew beforehand that I am at a big disadvantage plus he has a counter hit play style which is something I am not use to. I made it out of the blue ranks and now I am stuck in green ranks with, like you mentioned in the video, low levels just spamming and mashing buttons. It's frustrating not knowing what to do or nothing you do works, and you just see yourself lose because someone was just spamming. This has made on some occassions to just think about destroying my controller because I can't do nothing about it. However, this video helps a lot with how to improve because I want to be in the top ranks with Steve (Red and Gold ranks btw). I am trying to improve on sidestepping because the 3D movement takes some time to understand and I've been watching replays of top Steve players to see what they do that I am not. Lastly, there are other game mechanics that I still need to understand like blocking and how to punish, or landing combos. I'm just on a little 2 - 3 day break because I need time off of Tekken lol. I will still keep going and trying to improve with Steve.
This video made my day. I'm the one player who care about rank. I'll lose easily if I'm afraid to demote or promote, cause I always play with the same move and same patterns with mindset "It's safe zone" and certainly I'm always stuck at Destroyers for 2 weeks. But after look at this video I try to have fun and learning to get out of my comfort zone. now I'm grow to Shinryu in 2 days. Thank you very much and hope you make good video like this again.
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed that, especially your thoughts about the mind game. I am a total beginner and in the middle of the green rank now. So far, I encountered over a hundred ranked online battles - and only left 16 of them as a winner... My problem is, that I beginn to "panic button mash" as soon as I am in an online match... I really do not seem to learn and remember the combos, despite practicing hours and hours in practice mode and choosing Jin, who so many advanced players recommended as a beginner friendly main in Tekken 8. Also I am practicing a lot with the ghosts of players I lost against and try to learn punishing (which I absolutely can NOT successfully do at the moment). Loosing hurts even more, if you are a passionate player like me, who loves to dive into videogames since over 25 years. I even mastered the Dark Souls Triology, Sekiro, Bloodborne and platinumed Elden Ring. So I am used to challenges - but at least for me, Tekken 8 online is on a whole other level. To sum up : all these experiences can be very frustrating. But I am so eager and willing to learn and improve, so I will stick to the game until I eventually improve. Your video encouraged me a lot! 😊😎
Also as long as I've played I loose too lol. I don't care how good you get at char match up knowledge, throw breaks etc. You will takes L's as long as you learn from each one that's all that matters
been playing tekken abt a month and im hardstuck in red rank i just feel like you need to have played the game for years and years to know how to defend against the countless knowledge checks, like idk a friend told me about junkyard parry and the dragunov snakeedge/grab option select but how many hundreds of stuff are there like that that i have no idea about and am constantly getting rekt by and how do i even find out about them, i feel like the approachable information in your own characters best options can only take you so far before youre faced with a sheer cliff face of matchup knowledge to climb and is so exhausting to think about, like what i lab a few strings for a character which doesn't take an insignificant amount of time, then you don't see that character for 50 games and when you do they might not even do it and if they do it's been so long that the punish isn't muscle memory, i don't have that kind of time in my life but i still want to get better at tekken
Finally, some real, good, practical advice for new players that isn't just 'practice your execution even more' or God forbid, 'learn frame data lol'. Definitely feeling this right now as I'm getting serious about Tekken for the first time in my life and getting my ass kicked no matter how hard I train, but vids like this help me understand what I SHOULD be working on and how to work on it.
I think its worth noting that you play your character with your peripheral vision. Eyes on the opponent or you won't learn their flowcharts and strings.
the best way to improve is not online it is on the couch with a bunch of friends and a lot of fights learn for the beginning just a few 2 hit or 3 hit combos and understand that every char got mix ups for there base combos, it means the end of the combo has the possibility to finish with a mid or high or low and then it's only up to you, to use it to your advatage keep your opponent guessing and don't try just landing one online combo over and over play a lil more wild cause most people learning only meta can't do shit against people who almost know the hole combolist
I really appreciate your efforts to help the masses get better been playing tekken since 2 but alots changed and getting back into it can be overwhelming but your channel definitely smoothing the process thank you so much subscribed 🎉 sending more your way as well keep it up
glad i found your channel! i'm mainly a street fighter player and i got up to yellow ranks pretty easily but have kinda hit a wall now so i think it's time to learn from someone who knows what they're doing 😅 subbed 👍
Before I watch the video: I really need to learn tryin to dodge high attacks and sidestep waaaaay more. I did it in the beginning but stopped doing it cause I guess I became traumatized tryin to dodge and sidestep the wrong moves etc cause I dont know what their animations looks and how well certain moves tracks / which side is strong or weak, def something I need to work on
I reached Vanquisher with relative ease playing Claudio. Only played Tekken 7 for 40 hours when it came out, some tekken tag back in the day (that intro movie on the PS2, what an experience that was, never seen the likes of that before), but pretty much a noob. I am now hardstuck at Vanquisher, I do not demote, nor come really close to destroyer. It is time to work on my defense for sure, I always go for the rematch against clearly better players solely to understand why I am keep getting punished, I accept the inevatible loss. Because really, caring about your rank too much is probably the biggest reason why people struggle to learn anything. Care about the small things, like seeing through an attack string, understand why your attacks do not work etc, if you are demolished by someone else, but after 5 rounds you almost win the 6th, because you changed your gameplan, attack and defense, just take that as a win, enjoy the game.
I’ve just been kinda stuck in low ranks cuz I’ve always just ended up on the defensive cuz I’m dealing with people spamming, I’m been practicing punishing but I’m too slow on the draw so it’s really never my turn to play.
I come from smash as a kazuya main and i instantly picked up kazuya in this game I have 45 hours and I am now constantly moving inbetween yellow and orange ranks. every opponent i play against is either a player who finds out i’m fairly new and only spams knowledge checks or they have 100’s of hours. It is very discouraging:( I know kazuya really well, devil jin a little bit and that is kind of it
Alright I have some thoughts as a Destroyer rank who is new to Tekken. In green and yellow ranks the most important thing is to use fast moves that don't launch the enemy. Frame trap jabs, down forward 1, and down 3 (low kick) are all incredible moves on legit like every character. A lot of guys in green and yellow are stuck because they rely too much on launchers and slow big damage moves.
I needed this. Since getting to last green rank my winrate dropped from amazing 15% to 0% for the last few days. 😂I've watched more hours of guides than I could admit, practiced combos and moves until fingers couldn't do it anymore, yet nothing helps. I'll have to check more replays.
You are already doing more than most people are willing to. Only a matter of time before you get rewarded. Only a matter of learning what's useful and throwing away what's useless. Keep up the grind
My plan in ranked is to just land 1 good combo that I practiced win or lose I actually don't even care about losing right now. Or winning, for that matter. Lol
Me : I lost, I never see replay, I still don't know what I'm doing, I learned nothing, but whatever my opponents are doing, looks cooooool and satisfying even though they're beating me!
I’ve played every tekken game and my main character is Jin , so I know every detail about his techniques and when to use it . In tekken8 new player = old player, there is no chance to win against hawarang and Jun , just press any button and congrats. Im struggling to win !! 400 game and 150 win!!
Yes many new players need to learn how to sidestep . Because the game is balanced around the fact that it's a 3D fighter . So some moves might look op from a 2d fighter perspective but they really aren't . As new player learning to sidestep should be one of your main goals . With it you can dodge most attacks ( except homing attacks ) , take positional advantages and attack others from vulnerable angles .
I am new for tekken8. my winning rate is only25% but I am enjoying it. not enjoying losing but enjoy learning tiny piece during every round.it is how it is even in SF. you lose and you improve.
I want you to make content on tekkken esports... How to level up my level in esports & advance tactics.. i love your content too much .. I've subscribed today on your channel ❤❤
Yea the thing that sucks is the holding back part if i hold back then he holding back someone is forced to move nine times out of ten i smack my lips and get to fighting cause hes just going to walk back or block and wait the entire match honestly its boring.........i run into alot of let him come to me first ppl im like its a fighting game lets make this epic this is boring!!!! Ohhh then they catch you and do a long combo like is it my turn yet......fml
I think more of hiding Games should introduce skill-based matches based on how good you are in a game. Instead of ranking for people who want to improve their skills and techniques in the game.
I've tried sidestepping but it feels clunky or slow, maybe because the game is reading if youre trying to crouch or sidestep so i tried double tapping the sidestep button and it feels faster but idk if i'm now just making myself even slower. Also different characters apparently have better or worse sidesteps? can you tell me they are better are they just faster, more responsive? i'm playing only reina btw
Sidesteps in general are improved from 7 to 8, but some characters have better or worse sidesteps based on the size of the character. Some moves a normal character like jin can step some moves that dont track much, mobile characters like lili can step moves with solid tracking and large characters like jack-8 have a tough time stepping moves because of his large size. Hope that helps somewhat
I’m struggling (was struggling. I’m done playing this game. I quit) online not because I’m new, but because my character literally sucks. Zafina has always been my main since T6 all those years ago. But now??? THEY BUTCHERED HER. She’s so bad in this game idk wtf they thinking 😞😞😞. It’s like she just doesn’t have the tools to win like most others characters do. Not to mention her new moves suck…BADLY. If I want to use Azazel’s moves it takes away health. If it gets blocked I lose health for nothing and it’s not even safe. A lot of her moves are also counter hits even more than there was in T7. A lot of her moves aren’t ones you can just throw out there and it’ll land no, it has to be timed and even then sometimes it just doesn’t work. So when your opponent literally refuses to fight back there’s nothing she can do anymore. I’m left with weak normals, weak stances and a weak heat system. But to top it all off…she’s slow in this game. Other characters moves just come out faster than most of hers. I quit this game. If I can’t use Zafina to win like everyone else uses their characters to win? Then I’m not playing anymore, PERIOD. I’m not gonna switch to meta just for cool points. With all due disrespect, fuck this game for what they did to her. It’s unacceptable.
Brother I also started with t7 however due to my shitty wifi I always stayed offline and now with Tekken 8 when I finally go online I'm getting destroyed I have like 14 w in 64 matches 😂 and I main devil Jin but I don't know if I should have so many losses what do you say there's still hope for me?how should I approach ranks with DJ? Also great video👊👏
First, find a goal. Your goal with dj should be to force the enemy to duck by threatening with low launch or ewgf. But you need to be close range to land those. And even though he can easily fly in with his morning crow, it can just as easily be punished. So you need to learn how to get close without relying too much on cheese.
"You're opponent doesn't know what they're doing." Here's a shoutout to that Raven player that refuses to play ranked just so he could stay labeled as a "beginner" just so he can crush unwitting actual beginners in the lounge.
I reached mighty ruler todya with KAZ yes I care about my rank but not really much. I try and learn who I’m fighting and how I can counter and stuff like that. My highest rank in tekken 7 was seiryu but I started tekken 7 late every thing had ALREAYD came out all seasons everything.
Would appreciate what to do with ghost modes, either how we train our own ghosts or downloading other people's. And then there's a mode on replays where we can take a segment and recreate it with recording? I got snake edged by Bryan a ton the other day playing Jin and just landed a bunch of down 2 so he can watch out for my lows. But I need to work on preventing Bryans from just spamming that.
As a player with 100% winrate in ranked in about 80 games, I'd say the biggest issue for newer players is their lack of logic: No, you can't retaliate after getting a knee to the face, you wouldn't be able to irl either; no, you can't lie on the ground and expect your character to immediately stand up; yes, that extremely high hitting move can be ducked and yet you haven't done it once. Etc. Etc. 2ndly, realize tekken is centered around movement and making the enemy whiff or get them to use a panic move that you can block. NO EXCEPTIONS. Less is more in tekken. Learn to force enemies into bad situations or a false sense of security. Lastly, learn to easily identify a moves purpose. Is it to continue pressure, prevent retaliation or bait a reaction? You can easily learn this by simply observing. No need for training mode. Good examples are 1 (the standard jab), df1 (the standard mid check) and most strings that end in a mid (since these will often signal the end of the enemy's turn) Don't learn combos (they don't help drag your face out of the ground) . Learn some bread and butter placeholder combos and focus on playing neutral until you can reliably control the pace, whether it's through offense or defense, proactive or reactive.
How about a guide entirely on sidestepping? As someone who isn't very good, every time I sidestep, I just eat a homing move that's randomly part of someone's spam, and I'd have been safer just with a standing block. I know sidestepping is important, but I 100% don't get how to bridge that gap to where I can use it effectively.

Would love an advanced Nina guide - tips for butterfly loops would be helpful
I agree with all of this. The multiple character and mental state. I have a bit of a short temper, not just in tekken, but in general. Im working on it and im alot better with it in and out of Tekken.
I find if i start getting frustrated switching between my 3 favorites Reina, Victor, and King really helps. It just kinda puts me in a new mental state and turns it all around.
Great video, already subbed, but just wanted to say that
Glad it was helpful
Great vid! I started T7 in the end of its lifespan and I never got out of teal ranks. Thanks a lot for your advices, it's really helpful

Thank youu. I think I may hit online tonight or tomorrow 😬@@alexlovehall7796

simple but great advices! i was in the green ranks smashing buttons till last week, to day i tried to set a pattern for my paul and keep trying to understand what options i can use for every adversary and now i got to yellow ranks and clibing. i was always a paul player since tekken 1, i tried reina because she is awesome, now i have to completly differents mains, im still learning about reina and im having fun with her. congratz to your nice content

I will still keep going and trying to improve with Steve.
i can relate.... anxiety sucks when playing fighting games.
I don't even know what I need to learn in matches and it just becomes a blur of moves and just so demotivating.
Checking this video out becsuse you said in your live stream it didnt get much traction, and you put in the effort 🤙

I wish we had the ability to lock out characters like cheeses allysa, victor and the bears.
What i did for Match Up Training is Bring all other characters to Red ranks
Definitely looking forward to more content
My plan in ranked is to just land 1 good combo that I practiced win or lose
I actually don't even care about losing right now. Or winning, for that matter. Lol
We want part2 .... Part2 💥✨✨💀💀
Me : I lost, I never see replay, I still don't know what I'm doing, I learned nothing, but whatever my opponents are doing, looks cooooool and satisfying even though they're beating me!
As a first time tekken player and a Lee main I just have to lab for hours upon hours to do one bnb combo
Funny how no one mentions the cheese grabbing and lows ... maybe its a skill issue on my side, but damn its irritating when spammed 24/7
I've plateaud at Vanquisher with Yoshimitsu. Which is OK. This isn't a bad place to be and maybe over a few years I'll crawl my way out of it.
I’ve played every tekken game and my main character is Jin , so I know every detail about his techniques and when to use it .
In tekken8 new player = old player, there is no chance to win against hawarang and Jun , just press any button and congrats.
Im struggling to win !! 400 game and 150 win!!
Yes many new players need to learn how to sidestep . Because the game is balanced around the fact that it's a 3D fighter . So some moves might look op from a 2d fighter perspective but they really aren't . As new player learning to sidestep should be one of your main goals . With it you can dodge most attacks ( except homing attacks ) , take positional advantages and attack others from vulnerable angles .
Tekken 8 u can't sidestep only certain moves
The game just wont let me escape throws
why defense is better in T8? now its chip damage, low parry is weaker, and the heat system is almost impossible to defend.
Bro can u make video about fundamental side step & side walk ? I think each char in 3d have specific weaknes on track movement
I am new for tekken8. my winning rate is only25% but I am enjoying it. not enjoying losing but enjoy learning tiny piece during every round.it is how it is even in SF. you lose and you improve.
I'm 1 for 60
Victor-after shining attack!
I want you to make content on tekkken esports... How to level up my level in esports & advance tactics.. i love your content too much .. I've subscribed today on your channel ❤❤
Yea the thing that sucks is the holding back part if i hold back then he holding back someone is forced to move nine times out of ten i smack my lips and get to fighting cause hes just going to walk back or block and wait the entire match honestly its boring.........i run into alot of let him come to me first ppl im like its a fighting game lets make this epic this is boring!!!! Ohhh then they catch you and do a long combo like is it my turn yet......fml
Thank you dude
Glad it helped
Make more videos like this
For sure
I am Adam masher😂
I think more of hiding Games should introduce skill-based matches based on how good you are in a game. Instead of ranking for people who want to improve their skills and techniques in the game.
yeah that would be good
It's funny decades of tutorials and nobody is getting better at fighting games
You should make a video on how to beat Alisa lol
I found sidestepping works in my ranks
Through pain
@@sunlance9353god bless your soul
When I figure that out I'll let you know lol
I have 2 friends who refunded the game after like a day of playing ranked 😭
I'm new to Tekken, and ranked is HELL rn but I'm getting there 😤
You have 2 smart friends
I've tried sidestepping but it feels clunky or slow, maybe because the game is reading if youre trying to crouch or sidestep so i tried double tapping the sidestep button and it feels faster but idk if i'm now just making myself even slower. Also different characters apparently have better or worse sidesteps? can you tell me they are better are they just faster, more responsive? i'm playing only reina btw
Sidesteps in general are improved from 7 to 8, but some characters have better or worse sidesteps based on the size of the character. Some moves a normal character like jin can step some moves that dont track much, mobile characters like lili can step moves with solid tracking and large characters like jack-8 have a tough time stepping moves because of his large size. Hope that helps somewhat
I’m struggling (was struggling. I’m done playing this game. I quit) online not because I’m new, but because my character literally sucks. Zafina has always been my main since T6 all those years ago. But now??? THEY BUTCHERED HER. She’s so bad in this game idk wtf they thinking 😞😞😞. It’s like she just doesn’t have the tools to win like most others characters do. Not to mention her new moves suck…BADLY. If I want to use Azazel’s moves it takes away health. If it gets blocked I lose health for nothing and it’s not even safe. A lot of her moves are also counter hits even more than there was in T7. A lot of her moves aren’t ones you can just throw out there and it’ll land no, it has to be timed and even then sometimes it just doesn’t work. So when your opponent literally refuses to fight back there’s nothing she can do anymore. I’m left with weak normals, weak stances and a weak heat system. But to top it all off…she’s slow in this game. Other characters moves just come out faster than most of hers.
I quit this game. If I can’t use Zafina to win like everyone else uses their characters to win? Then I’m not playing anymore, PERIOD. I’m not gonna switch to meta just for cool points. With all due disrespect, fuck this game for what they did to her. It’s unacceptable.
How do I find parry moves on the move list?
They are usually at the very bottom
People u can not be good at Tekken without blocking. Just because ur beating people with all offense doesn’t make u good it makes them bad.
Brother I also started with t7 however due to my shitty wifi I always stayed offline and now with Tekken 8 when I finally go online I'm getting destroyed I have like 14 w in 64 matches 😂 and I main devil Jin but I don't know if I should have so many losses what do you say there's still hope for me?how should I approach ranks with DJ? Also great video👊👏
First, find a goal. Your goal with dj should be to force the enemy to duck by threatening with low launch or ewgf. But you need to be close range to land those. And even though he can easily fly in with his morning crow, it can just as easily be punished. So you need to learn how to get close without relying too much on cheese.
@@JunTheDude32 honestly I go more for jabs,ss and hellseweeps ff4 and samsara are also good options ff4 being incredible+ is a launcher on counter hit
"You're opponent doesn't know what they're doing." Here's a shoutout to that Raven player that refuses to play ranked just so he could stay labeled as a "beginner" just so he can crush unwitting actual beginners in the lounge.
Lol
Is there a way to hold block without constantly moving back?
You automatically block when holding nothing
I did not know this actually lol thanks!@@Boogard
I reached mighty ruler todya with KAZ yes I care about my rank but not really much. I try and learn who I’m fighting and how I can counter and stuff like that. My highest rank in tekken 7 was seiryu but I started tekken 7 late every thing had ALREAYD came out all seasons everything.
I am taking a break
......
Would appreciate what to do with ghost modes, either how we train our own ghosts or downloading other people's. And then there's a mode on replays where we can take a segment and recreate it with recording? I got snake edged by Bryan a ton the other day playing Jin and just landed a bunch of down 2 so he can watch out for my lows. But I need to work on preventing Bryans from just spamming that.
I quit
As a player with 100% winrate in ranked in about 80 games, I'd say the biggest issue for newer players is their lack of logic: No, you can't retaliate after getting a knee to the face, you wouldn't be able to irl either; no, you can't lie on the ground and expect your character to immediately stand up; yes, that extremely high hitting move can be ducked and yet you haven't done it once.
Etc. Etc.
2ndly, realize tekken is centered around movement and making the enemy whiff or get them to use a panic move that you can block. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Less is more in tekken.
Learn to force enemies into bad situations or a false sense of security.
Lastly, learn to easily identify a moves purpose. Is it to continue pressure, prevent retaliation or bait a reaction? You can easily learn this by simply observing. No need for training mode.
Good examples are 1 (the standard jab), df1 (the standard mid check) and most strings that end in a mid (since these will often signal the end of the enemy's turn)
Don't learn combos (they don't help drag your face out of the ground) . Learn some bread and butter placeholder combos and focus on playing neutral until you can reliably control the pace, whether it's through offense or defense, proactive or reactive.
Or just keep plugging ,,,that the easiest and quickest way to get to the highest rank possible
Narrating helps alot against Autopilot
Just pretend your streaming or something 😃
Tekken is not a beginner friendly game at all. Its extremely complicated. Feels like people are taking away half my health with very little.
Yeah it's definitely rough
How do I beat Azucena this character is so cringe
I still need to figure this out for myself lol
midlow mix ups with a more aggressiv aproach if you play leftside step out right, ws moves tent to work well to
Games cheesy as hell
How about a guide entirely on sidestepping? As someone who isn't very good, every time I sidestep, I just eat a homing move that's randomly part of someone's spam, and I'd have been safer just with a standing block. I know sidestepping is important, but I 100% don't get how to bridge that gap to where I can use it effectively.
We want part2 .... Part2 💥✨✨💀💀
