It is against b1, qcb1, almost every heavy hitting move he has. Only 2 things you really have to watch out for is his orbital and 1+2. When you play against a Bryan that loves to jail into df2, im able to step electric that shit constantly. All depends on the Bryan you’re playing. Just like with kaz having bad tracking, making the adaptation and using wavu into cd3, b4, or wave electrics are pretty good at deterring people from stepping.
This is a great video! I play kazuya and alot of my friends who play tekken gave a hard time playing against me, and this actually will help them alot with the matchup! Not to mention it will help me a lot with the Kazuya mirror
Okay OKAY so I was never good at tekken . I main Zafina and I was stuck in low ranks for quite awhile , these tips not only help Kaz but they helped me too. The side stepping left was a LIFE SAVER, and I now watch for when I need to punish. I got to mighty ruler with her today I’m so happy thank YOU!!! These are so helpful and straight forward , I’ve been looking for tutorials like this one forever . I don’t understand a paper with their moveset I’d rather someone explain like this . Again THANK YOU! I can’t wait to see more tutorials from you
nothing changed for nina since t7, if it's sidestep/string pressure there's no options it's just best moves in the game, if it's low-high-mid or low-high-low strings there's easy counter you just have to recognize one of three strings duck and launch, no option select really
i dont think you realize how much help this is to a newbie blue rank thats getting destroyed by all the kazuyas. and bryans - cant wait for the next one!!!
@@KoufalKoufaxis not always like that. don't you notice whenever you fought a blue rank kazuya, it doesn't seem like they're supposed to be in blue ranks because they have strong fundamentals compare to when you fought other blue ranks character like Law or Paul etc. that because playing with kazuya or bryan is not easy to master. so if you see kazuya on higher rank, you know they are really good and have strong fundamentals. and if you see them in blue rank, consider them not a blue rank but higher than that. tbh i don't find it difficult to beat kazuya. is really easy to beat him in ranked. is rare that i lost to kazuya in ranked. that's why i said kazuya is hard to master because i dont even play kazuya but i know the matchup so kazuya player really need to work hard & have strong fundamentals and execution to beat me who is playing Lee with bad fundamentals. but the moment i lost to a kazuya, i know that the kazuya player is really really fking good.
@@syaredzaashrafi1101I agree with you. Fighting a Kazuya/Bryan/Lee/DVJ is hard because the player is usually good and flexible with an inflexible character, an indication of high skill as well. Same as you, the matchup isn't bad at all but winning it is still all about fast thinking, adapting and shutting down. Harder than it sounds. Top tiers I never lose to ever as well because their strength aside, they don't have any skillful retaliation for most players when you know how to counter them even in blue because they have holes in their fundamentals. But I second your response 100% agree.
As a Kazuya/Jun main out of every character I play against I feel so relaxed fighting against Kazuya. Easy as hell to beat with my defensive playstyle.
For me Kazuya is a matchup I'm really eager to learn because my biggest weakness is movement especially sidestepping... I can't quite comprehend the z axis whenever I play... and as a king main my choice of character certainly doesn't help improve it with his piss poor movement... Well cheers for the future and getting better I guess
Committing to an action is scary but if there is this intentionality of "his gameplan is continually this, and his less dominant side is the left, lemme just sidewalk this interaction and punish" is super useful. And then as Kazuya you run your 50/50 shit but keep in mind how they are reacting and punish if they try to counter with sidewalking and staying on the ground
Good read, bro. I think this applies to tekken in general. I find myself doubting my decisions in a match when I don’t know the strategy of my opponent.
@BruceNorrin it's true yet people don't do it. Everyone knows what to do, they just don't do it well. Similar to a life quote I heard. "Its not that its hard to do, infact many things are easy. Difference is how well you do it"
So far..it's been maybe twice a week for a couple to several matches. Before, it was every other week. You got me getting hate mail from some of the matches I win now. I got the, "Get a job, bum" with other stuff, for the first time dawg! And I have that, more, and a family that's very active. 😁😁😁 Thank you for making this fun for me again, The Main Man!!!
So, takeaways for me: -Walk to the left to avoid common moves -Once knocked down, wait on the ground, or toe kick, but don't mindlessly tech roll -If you cant block hellsweep or 1,1,2 knockdown, hold forward -If you can block them, launch -Counter electric spam with moves that beat highs -Punish the 14f mid homing counterhit with quick (-11) punishers -Punish twin pistons with quick (-11) punishers -Anything after heat engaging, good luck -Anything during heat, good luck
An entire roster of characters with unlimited bs knowledge checks flowing out of their asses and you make the first guide for the only character that has practically none
Another super powerful option select for kazuyas 50/50 is hitting him out of it. All of his big vortex tools are 20+ frame startup. You can get a lot of mileage off of waking up into a fast ch or poke. Of course this will open you up to getting ch by df:2 so you have to be careful.
Yeah df 2 is painful. Pretty quick in my opinion. Most of the time that’s the main counter that gets me when I use optimal moves that are a bit too slow.
@@BasicallyAnArtist True it's the Scariest move he had right next to Twin Pistons. The damage they lead into just locks you up sometimes because most characters have no good moves below 14 frames.
it was very smart of Tekken to make the face of the game, kazuya, have quite a huge emphasis on the big selling of Tekken, the 3D movement. Not only is he a defensive character with a few very powerful moves while side stepping, he is also weak to it.
just watch out which arm is reaching if its the left its a 1 break, if its the right is a 2 break, if both arm reaches its 1+2, but of course king is a special case.
thats why kazuya was the easiest character to get kisshin out of the entire cast despite me sucking at execution. no one sidewalks me in raijin and below. he is the ultimate scrub killer
The problem with kazuyas counterplay in tekken 8 is his heat which he has access to every round mix it up with his damage output it becomes somewhat unplayable against a good kazuya devil fist tracks in heat and you're launched if you're trying to ss left into wall with 60% damage then hope to god if you guess correct near wall he can also just spam patricide patricide patricide which you have to respect as well not to mention he can spam back to back 2 3 patricides into the ground pound which leads into 50-60 damage just by blocking into wall pressure
is it a big ask for you to to run games against said character you're trying to beat? like have a game of you playing against kazuya and play by play your actions/decisions
For this, I normally watch the "how to beat" and then watch his ranked videos. I'll try to see where he implements the stuff he talks about. (You can watch him playing the character you're trying to counter and watch what his opponents do, as well.)
@@chillrendbeats i get what you mean but lord masku doesnt usually say out loud his play by play thoughts about what he is looking out for or doing to win his opponents, for good reason since its kinda tryhard to constantly do it on stream. what i meant when i wrote that comment was to understand how high level players think, what do they notice, what gameplans are they going to implement against said characters, not necessarily just how to beat a certain character's movelist

-Punish twin pistons with quick (-11) punishers
-Anything after heat engaging, good luck
-Anything during heat, good luck

been wanting to beat kazuya for a while

Im more scared when kazuya has me against the wall than bryan. Times changed
Please Tmm Make A How to Beat Series!!!

Df2 and the low ch launcher d1+2? Used to abuse me when I was newer and sometimes still do.
Bro do these on the obscure characters that are living knowledge checks lol.
I'd kill on one for Jun, Azucena, Zafina
When you say side step do you mean tap up or double tap?
We need this for every character plssssss
You can't jab check after blocking df1,2 because it forces crouch for 1 frame. I always fk it up vs kaz.
