Very well put Aris. "You can win an entire tournament with 5 moves". He is absolutely right. Movement, range, pressure, mixups, punishment, defensive consistency, and practice = tekken
You are legit the best teacher. So much information related so quickly. A lot of tutorials assume the watcher/listener is an idiot. Really appreciate the straight talk.
MIND. BLOWN. I've been playing for a while now & this sht has never occured to me. Its so simple but incredibly effective. I've been trying commit many combo strings to muscle memory but honestly this is what in-game tutorials should be teaching.
Fantastic explanation. I always viewed the simply jabs and basic low kicks as useless since they don't do enough damage to be worth the risk. Tying it together with movement and other follow ups make them very useful it seems. Just like footsies in MKX.
It's 2024, and Tekken 8 is my first real fighting game. This guide is amazingly helpful and very relevant to me even today 9 years after this video was uploaded. Thank you past Aris 🫡
Thanks a lot for this, actually. I've been trying to play this game seriously for about a year now but this never occurred to me, I just tried to get a feel for it on my own. This is extremely helpful.
wow wow wow... THIS is what my tekken has been lacking, i know the combos, i know the pokes but yet i really struggle against my friend who barely does any training or watches any guides or knows good combos. Coming from SF background i've sort of had this illusion that i have a proper strategy like fishing counter hits with bryan etc. but i haven't really factored in the movement which is huge in this game and it makes sense.
i really admire the consistency of tekken. tag 2 tutorials are still relevant, while other games like street fighter don't even feel like street fighter anymore.
I just spent the last three hours watching vidoes on your channel. I am in tears. There is not a single person on this planet who can explain the concept of this games half as good. I am in tears. I don't know what to say.
I understood the importance of movement in Tekken as it is a 3D fighting game but this explanation really nailed home in terms of strategic perspective. Kudos! Stay in the fight guys.
And yet, it is relatively safe. Most launchers are blockable at 13 frames, with the exception of a couple hopkicks. Most punishment there is still going to be heavy poke, rather than launchers. And this is for new players, to give them a way to start building an offense, while giving information about frame data. Because that shit is intimidating as fuck, if you are looking at it for the first time without a clue.
For a player who hasn't played Tekken since Tekken 3, thank you. Extremely insightful video, opened my eyes. Each character having over 70 moves was very confusing. I realized I have to just play the same character for hours, weeks likely, before I even begin understanding how everything flows. It doesn't help that my hands aren't used to the speed of buffering.
dude......you just made me connect the dots to this games which i never undertsood,i cannot thank you enough!!!,the whole down back dash basic maneuver just made it so much simpler to me.i just got tekken 7 and i know some means to defend myself against other player like my friends,again thank you for the tips. :D
Nice. I noticed movement is important on my own, (which is called learning I guess.) by trial and error. You see, when I button mashed, I noticed that my enemy was blocking more efficiently then I was and punished me severely by initiating a combo when I went into attack mode all the time. I just did one thing: back off. Did a little back step. Ducked. And then went to lash out again. MOVEMENT is important in this game! I like it how you can sidestep. It's a very accessible game, but deeper then it looks on the outside. Love it. Thanks again for the tip!
Thank you! I've always been intimidated to buy this game because I never though I'd be able to master the basics and get to at least amateur level. Gonna buy the game now and practice my ass off.
Thank you very much for a great tutorial Aris! I have been playing Tekken for years and this video has reminded me of the basics of fundamentals. I will try simplifying my style of play and hopefully I will see improvement!
bornoftherods Melee is a lot more dependant on movement than Tekken. But one of the biggest challenges in Melee is transitioning from neutral game to punish game because of opponent DI. Where as in Tekken combo strings are always connect when executed properly once you get your hit confirm. Coming from Melee I can appreciate how I only have to worry about my own excution during my combo string in Tekken.
Dude! You've explained to me in minutes what my friends have been trying to do in years! I just subbed, going to go through your videos. Keep up the good work.
This is exactly what i needed man thanks. Been watching Tekken for some weeks now and finally got the game today. You were awesome at EVO funny af. Have a good one.
I'm so glad I stumbled onto your channel, if you could split the play list into begginers intermediate would be much appreciated, haven't played since Tekken 4 on PS2 when I was a kid, these tutorials have really helped!
I haven't played a Tekken game since 3 and now that all my friends are buying 7 I'm thinking of joining them, so this video really helped me get back into things.
Pretty interesting and nice things to consider. Very well put video. The only thing I have to say, if people are looking for stuff like this, they probably don't know what -13 and such is.
Hey, its been years since you made this video but I'd like to thank you for making this. I was intimidated with how many combos and moves there were, and I'm a beginner at fighting games, but this video inspired me to take it one step at a time with Tekken. I might practice and "strategize" some more instead of dropping this game completely. P.S Love your beard :)
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks I have been trying to learn tekken teg 2 for about a month now... once I started applying these basics I was able to find some much better combos and learned how to better move my character. Now I think that I am ready to start trying out some new characters for later...I was playing Kunimitsu Arcade while watching some of these tutorials they really helped me out all the way to the boss. Random Question, why do A. Ogre and Jun Kazama always hold onto the last pixel of life for what seems like an eternity? Thanks again for help with my basics.
So I decided to get into Tekken 7 after playing 2D games for so long and the most overwhelming thing for me was that I never truly understood what the hell is actually going on in front of me. They you explained it makes SO much sense in 2D mind. I feel like this alone makes me understand what's actually happening on screen way more.
Hey man, thank you for making this tutorial. I wanted to get into a little medium/higher end tekken and i'm starting from the very basics. Love the vid, great tutorial and very glad you made it :) so cheers from the Netherlands
you just earned a new sub and also you helped me a lot because i'm a street fighter/kof player and i nvr played tekken before, so what you just explain to me was so clear and understandable it open my mind to all the possibilities within the game, so i must say thank you for helping out a noobie like me. 👌
Such a nice video i just bought tekken and not knowing anything of the game and now i know at least something what to do instead of smashing some buttons really nice video for me!
Very awesome video man. Never been huge on Tekken. It's fun but 8 way fighters are crazy sometimes. This video imo could really help. Now that I see this I understand that people did this to me and I saw how that rewarded them.
What an excellent video. It's hard for a master to break things down for laymen, but you've done it perfectly. Thanks man. By the by, what did you mean by saying that all Tekken characters are of the same archetype? I did notice there aren't any pure zoners or anything (thank god, that's why I stopped playing Injustice 2).
Hey aris, how about sidestepping and side walking and how use them accurately in alot of situations, such as how to use them well at any range against strings or certain moves
Jonathan Bischoff i could talk for an hour and still not cover it all, but for the most part brother, you answer is exactly the difference between bad players and good ones, sidesteps and all the other possible movement actions are all basically moves, we dont know have the frame data of these moves in english so ill just tell you how to sidestep for now instead of pointing you to a website or video since there are none, sidesteps activate in 4 frames the first possible evasive frame and dont become really evasive for another 2 frames, not sure how long the evasiveness lasts but essentially u realize each move interacts with sidesteps based on frame data, range, and hitbox, for instance at -2 alisas df1 pretty much always tracks sidesteps from all chars, in tekken revolution backswing blow invincible moves are sidewalkable at +4, use a running attack, sidewalk, and whiff punish, all situations in tekken are based on hitbox/hurtbox, range/position, and frame data, for all possible inputs for any action, its better to think of movements as attacks, or vice versa, they are both to fool your opponent into pressing a button to create damage, TLDR sidestep after pokes when you have 6 frames at least, but realize every movement likr techrolls backdashes etc, every possible movement is similar in that it is a controllable situation like stepping after a poke

Man Aris sounds so passionate about teaching folks here, the years of gormless stoners haven't caught up to him yet.
"I know you guys have questions and Im gonna give the opportunity for you guys to ask questions"
Damn, Aris really was someone else in the past.
How did he change?

@@victorpurificacao2855 well that just sad. Just started his tekken guide tutorials and he sounds so nice
@@liamhendricks8782 but isnt it a joke in the clip
Some of us OG stoners remember what things were like before YOU PEOPLE showed up atpBigot
this still applies to tekken 8, thank you aris
this was an incredibly useful perspective for an absolute beginner. thanks
I've been looking far and wide for an explanation like this to understand the meat of Tekken. Thank you.
Very well put Aris. "You can win an entire tournament with 5 moves". He is absolutely right.
Movement, range, pressure, mixups, punishment, defensive consistency, and practice = tekken
Jack players just need 2 or 3.
Boooom, hop kick city !
My mom!
This single video got me to understand how to play tekken
You are legit the best teacher. So much information related so quickly. A lot of tutorials assume the watcher/listener is an idiot. Really appreciate the straight talk.

This is actually the most useful Tekken tutorial I have ever seen. This is amazing.
Good job Aris. The more T7 players - the better!
This dude is like a school teacher for Tekken!
so true
i am a noob at this game, and I like the way he is teaching
He looks like teacher from Hogwarts
Aris, hearing your soliloquy at the end, regarding what makes this game so fun, almost brought a tear to my eye. Play on playa.
8:05 "You can win an entire tournament with 5 moves."
Why is John Cena not playing this game?
he only knows 4
he is.
you just can't see him.
because wrestling is fake?,just maybe.
he is
Djinn Gaming what 0.0, wrestling is fake!? What a startling revelation!
This video deserves to go into a Tekken hall of fame somewhere, it's so great and informative. Aris really outdid himself.
The most important thing was said at 4:31
It was so important I rewinded it a few times.
Thanks a lot for this, actually. I've been trying to play this game seriously for about a year now but this never occurred to me, I just tried to get a feel for it on my own. This is extremely helpful.
wow wow wow... THIS is what my tekken has been lacking, i know the combos, i know the pokes but yet i really struggle against my friend who barely does any training or watches any guides or knows good combos.

Where muh street fighter gone

This video has helped me appreciate watching tekken tournament players way more.
This is inspiring me to pick Tekken back up. Appreciate the tutorial videos, Aris. ^_^
I shivered involuntarily the moment I heard -13 and relatively safe in the same sentence :D
And yet, it is relatively safe. Most launchers are blockable at 13 frames, with the exception of a couple hopkicks. Most punishment there is still going to be heavy poke, rather than launchers.
And this is for new players, to give them a way to start building an offense, while giving information about frame data. Because that shit is intimidating as fuck, if you are looking at it for the first time without a clue.
Amazing guide dude. I've never seen someone simplify the rock paper scissors that fighting games are so exceptionally! 👍🏽

Thank you very much for a great tutorial Aris! I have been playing Tekken for years and this video has reminded me of the basics of fundamentals. I will try simplifying my style of play and hopefully I will see improvement!

This is exactly what i needed man thanks. Been watching Tekken for some weeks now and finally got the game today. You were awesome at EVO funny af. Have a good one.
I miss this guy. So much enthusiasm and energy now he just says the same things like big dinner over and over again.
I'm so glad I stumbled onto your channel, if you could split the play list into begginers intermediate would be much appreciated, haven't played since Tekken 4 on PS2 when I was a kid, these tutorials have really helped!
6years old yet so useful aris, great tips 👍🏾
if you play more games this would be one of the beat channals. the name is everything
I haven't played a Tekken game since 3 and now that all my friends are buying 7 I'm thinking of joining them, so this video really helped me get back into things.
2019, as i climbed in the ranks as a new player into red ranks, this is still mad relevant.
the concept I finally get it,it’s like it just suddenly clicked I get it now!!! Watch out for my LAW TEKKEN 8💨 💪🏽🙌🏾👌🏾🖖🏽 Thank You Aris!
Pretty interesting and nice things to consider. Very well put video.
The only thing I have to say, if people are looking for stuff like this, they probably don't know what -13 and such is.
That's what the other basic videos are for. Part two is about frame data.
wow, i recently started watching Aris, and just know him as this entertaining shit talking lord.
This video alone refreshed my feelings on buying t7. Thank you for this dude
Thanks Aris, this gives me an idea to start bringing everything together. I've felt a little lost in trying to step up my game.
Very helpful for new players to Tekken or players who haven't played it in years, thanks Aris!
this dude is amazing, he explains like a god, for any listener
I love this man-goblin-hairmonster.

it is because they are playing solo. Solo characters have more life then 2 tag characters.
but I was also playing solo and did not recieve the same buff.?
Tyrant of Chaos if im correct you were playing arcade, then that is because those characters are considered boss characters in the game
that makes sense.
Thanks for the video! I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your tutorials. This helped my thinking immensely. Thanks again

Wow dude old school aris is so nice
Bought the game yesterday, then got my ass pwned. Thanks to this now I get what I have to work on, let's practice
Awesomely put, this can be applied to more than just Tekken as well.
excited for more tekken know how. this brings me back!

I'm inspired to apply this concept and find my own arsenal of moves with Alisa.
Probably my favorite video
Perfect video, exactly what I needed to hear. I know where to start now, thank you so much!
I alrteady gave my soul to tekken 7. After school i only going to focus on tekken.
This was fucking brilliant. Amazing job my man
Good video! Very informative even to those who've been playing the game for a while
this is a great video aris, important video for introducing our world to newcomers.
that burp on the question at 0:16 was super funny out of 10

Great tutorial as usual.
Brilliant tutorial. Now i think i begin to understand Tekken.
What an excellent video. It's hard for a master to break things down for laymen, but you've done it perfectly. Thanks man.
By the by, what did you mean by saying that all Tekken characters are of the same archetype? I did notice there aren't any pure zoners or anything (thank god, that's why I stopped playing Injustice 2).
