Im a midway/nrs player and I have been my entire life. I’ve decided to get into tekken because of how good the new game looks and how unfinished mk1 feels and it’s definitely a big learning curve. Thanks for the helpful video :)
Same reason im here mk1 just feel broken/unbalanced and gimmicky. Wish i didnt give em my money. I know ill have a hard time with this game but it looks like each character will have a move to deal with something unlike mk
@@senormarston coming back to this comment and what I said is amplified times 10. I was thinking maybe im just not that much of a gamer anymore once mk1 came out but I already have over 100 hours in tekken 8 I’ve been nonstop on it. Truly is a special game and I hope nrs can manage to fix my first fighting game love but until then.. tekken 8 is taking care of me just fine
Hey bro - I’m a returning player, been playing tekken super super casually since I was very little but wanted to get a bit more competitive on launch of tekken 8. This video is so good - your explanations are so clear and I walked away with so much basics I never knew I needed! I’ll be looking out for more videos and will keep circling back to this one!
I spent a lot of years watching fighting games and wanting to get good and play them but never taking the time to learn them bc I thought I didn’t have the right tools or skills but this generation I’m gonna give it maximum effort I bought sf6 mk1 when they were new and most recently tekken 8 and I’ve been having a lot of fun. This video was probably one of if not the best I’ve seen for new players and explaining all the different mechanics that tekken has.
Thats a great tutorial maybe you could talk more about the control setup. Many new players dont know how to turn off special style and mapping the inputs is very important too.
Thanks for the guide! Been a casual tekken player since 2 and didn't properly get into the online competitive play until 7. I'm seeing complete newcomers reaching ranks I've never got to so looks like I'm going back to basics
Hello! I played tekken 2 and 3 as a kid and loved it, but haven't played at all since then. When Kazuya came out on smash bros i fell back in love with the characters and am now hyped for tekken 8. But I have ZERO experience in these types of games and approaching it has been very intimidating. Early in your video your little message of "It's okay, don't rush it" helped me a lot more than you would think to not feel anxious about this stuff, since on other games I am very competitive and I hate losing. Just wanted to say thanks for that. :)
I played a little bit of Tekken 2 and 3 back in the days, but haven't really played since, so consider myself new. I've been trying to get into it the last few days and the thing I find the hardest is understanding the timing of combo inputs. How long should I hold the arrow keys, how fast should I press, can I spam, should I wait until a certain point in the animations, etc.
great guide, but you need to check on the video bitrate, when you move on the screen it pixelates a lot. Otherwise great video for beginners. I'm sure people will find this useful when delving into Tekken 8 for the first time in January 26th
@@Boogard I believe youtube lower the quality of your videos so you can upload the video to higher resolution to fix the issue, I hope that helps since it is a really awesome video :)
This is an amazing time for fighting game fans. I remember not too long ago people were talking about fighters as if they are disappearing that most gamers of today don't find them interesting anymore... But I'm so happy that wasn't true at all ✌
Thanks for the vid. I'm a new guy at Tekken (mainly played street fighter) and I never understood why people saying DF+1,2 as well as some other stuff. Thanks to your video, i can understand those words
I'm playing as a newbie, and happy with mostly losing but starting to win more and more, but man I just can't get the juggling right. While my opponent juggles half my hp from a single launch...
I feel like it's definitely bitrate, most videos of Tekken 8 on RUclips look fine. Hopefully he can up the bitrate some more, because for me it does take away from the video even though it is a great video overall. 😢
depends on how you view, i been playing tekken since i was young staring with tekken 3 but i never had anyone teach me the proper way to use combos ect or explain them so i button mashed through my life and avoided online after i got bodied by a julia player first match in tekken 6. so am i new to tekken? no, would i like to learn what the controls mean in the combo menu? yes.
2:03 you say you should almost always hold back so you can retaliate more quickly - do you get blockstunned for longer when you’re “holding neutral” to block rather than back?
I used to play a bit of tekken 7 but always sucked now bought 8 bc of Reina and I want to learn her but first got to learn the basics but the scary thing is I heard she got a lot of things going on for her so I'm sure I want a guide that woud help with undestanding her bc knowing what to learn woud definilty be helpfull and if u coud make a vid like that I woud definitly appricate it Great video by the way
Thank you for the guide. Clears up a few things. But what is the best way to learn a character and all those system stuff at the same time? Is it, that when T8 comes out, I just grab a character I like the most. And then ask on Reddit what the best buttons for that character are and in which situation? I'd then write all of that down and go online and try to implement those buttons in the situations where they're called for. Even though being told 20-30 moves out of a characters 200 moves does seem like a tough task to master. T8 seems overwhelming to a point where I don't even know where to start. Been playing SF6 and MK1 since they came out and these two games were much easier to grasp for a beginner like me.
Yeah I get that it can definitely be overwhelming at first. I suggest watching beginners guides until you have a good grasp of the very basics and then look for beginner character guides. These will teach you the best moves your character has and when you should be using them along with basic punishes. If you know just that basic information you'll be ahead of 90% of people trying to learn the game who will just be mashing random buttons in online modes. I have character guides specifically for very new players on the 4 characters in the demo and am going to make one for every character when the full game comes out. Check them out if you are interested (:
My last Tekken I played a lot was Tekken 3 on PS1 and that's been a while 😅. Since I'm getting tired and a little frustrated of MK 1 I'd really see if Tekken is for me or if it's too difficult. It definitely looks awesome.
Just subscribed. Great video! Looking to main Martial Law on release. Do you have plans for his character breakdown/guide? Cheers and Happy New Year ✌🏻
It is true that a lot of characters use not too many moves, especially if you go for a simpler playstyle, but I still scoffed here a bit. Because I think that with Lee, I use pretty much every move except the useless, vestigial uf2. Not all with the same frequency and in the same situation of course, but still.
I'm gon to buy Tekken 8 but I don't know if I'll end up liking it a lot because of that Wavedash thing I find it hard to do maybe I just need to practice but still moving a lot the lever like that may not be something that I want. The game looking solid and I like that you can customize your character.
@@Boogard How about Hwoarang 🥋? My favorite character along with Jin and Kazuya. I was practicing the EWGF with Kazuya and Jin and I started having elbow pain lol
Good work! New to T8 here. Played 1.2.3 and Tag ages ago. How fast are grabs (in terms of frames)? How big is the window to tech the grabs, is that yet known?
Very nice recap for beginners or people that want to start the game. About the throw breaks you don't have to press 1 for the 1+3 and 2 for the 2+4, both 1 or 2 are working. 😉 However as you said it's 1+2 most of the time for the other 1+2 throws. Just a little question : as T8 is not released yet and as a training mode is not available in the current T8 demo, what is the T8 build you are playing on ? Can we deduct that it is the cracked demo ? 🤔
@@Boogard ah sorry to have missed that for the throw! Ah I understand for the second player tip. I was asking because iy is very frustrating to not have a training mode in the T8 demo... 😅 Just less than 4 weeks now and everyone may be able to play Tekken 8. I can't wait to play it ! 😊 Just suscribed to your channel btw 😉
It's to prevent players getting confused when talking about notations. The WR notation is already being used as 'while running' so prevent 'while rising' from being confusing, the community instead calls it 'while standing' and WS in notation.
Man the artifacting is really bad. i know youre aware of the issue, but i cant stress enough how bad it is. doesnt youtubes creator tools allow you to replace video tracks nowadays? cant ya rerecorde with higher bitrate?
Wish I could there's nothing I can do now unless I remake the whole video which I might end up doing eventually. Honestly it really sucks but I'm just taking it as a learning experience and making future videos better. Sorry again.
@@Boogard i dont have access to the tools anymore since they raised the min sub requirement, but check creator studio out, open this video, go to editing, and check if you can replace potions of the video segment, if yes, you can replace many of them with smaller recordings specifically made. its abit patchwork, but it should work. If not, well, yeah, a remake might be possible, esp if you do more basic guides. or go into more indepth on those basics.
You didn't address the elephant in the room: the bad netcode making the online play rubbish. This is a deal breaker for many people and attention should be drawn to it. Neat guide. I doubt beginners should be taught frame data though. Maybe this is too much, too fast, and too dense for complete beginners. It's a nice cheat sheet for people who want a refresher though. Time stamps per topic would be welcome!
Have you really played the 2 betas yourself or are you just referencing rumors ? 🤔 I played the 2 sessions of the CNT and the session of the CBT and personnaly I had a pretty good experience on the T8 online. A way better than any T7 sessions with many QOL improvments. The CBT was a little bit less stable especially against wifi players but I assume this is because we were a lot more people on the servers and that the devs proceed to some kind if stress tests during this beta (are betas not the purpose for that ? 🤔) I played on PS5 with a HTTF connection (ethernet) and that worked pretty fine but sure that everyone don't have such kind of connection. It was maybe not as great as SF6 but it's clear that Namco is aware that good netcode like SF6 is some kind of standard they have to achieve for T8. 😉
Really sorry about the quality at times of the video. Havent experienced this problem before I'll make sure it doesnt happen in future videos

Heat smash recovers a ton of gray health. That's the biggest reward you get from spending it on that.

Grabs generally vary in terms of startup frames i think most are between 10-15 and have a 20 frame window to break the throw.
