I highly appreciate the separate guide videos on the different stances. It makes it much easier to digest and I can always come back when I feel like I don't remember all the details and options the stances provide. Thank you so much for the guides.
These videos are amazing and worth the sub. I really want to grasp and understand all her stances and fundamentals before I even bother with combos. Shes so string and stance heavy I’m doing enough damage and mind games from her neutral mixups alone- and I’m finally trying to grasp letting go of just learning flashy combos and that being all I know
You make the best guides that I need, the gameplan part is super useful! I am loving the game and the character more and more learning from these videos. Thank you, looking forward for more! :)
I really like these short in-depth guides, there's something here for everyone without having to scrub through an insanely long yet somehow still lacking video. I also like your clean visual style, since you're seemingly playing the number game and asking for subscribers might I suggest you provide something akin to a cheatsheet or command list paired with these videos. You've basically already done all the leg work, slap it on an interesting background which includes your branding and let the community through sharing, by virtue of being useful, market you wholesale. I grew up the 90's, I make notes, I actually write down my observations, combo's, dungeon layouts etc. This seemingly is a lost art, which in turn is why games feel the need to handhold and dumb down; since Tekken largely avoided this fallacy I think there's an opportunity here for you to reach out further whilst also helping people stick with the game; who knows, if each of these is a page somewhere down the line MishimaComplex might become synonymous to the MishimaBible or MishimaEncyclopaedia.
Thank you for your kind words 🙏, I like your idea and vision, I’d love to do something like that when I have more time! Thanks again for your input and support ❤️
Thank you for this! All the vids have been super helpful but Unsoku in particular I was having a hard time integrating into my gameplay. Excited to try out some of the setups you suggeted
As a veteran Lee main who fell in love with Heihachi a bit too late before Tekken 8 came out, your guides are helping me understand a gameplan and character I'm really not familiar with. Thanks and please keep them coming! P.S.: F*ck me I managed to do OTGFs reliably just weeks before T8 was there.
Dude! Wtf!?!? She is stacked! As a KAZUYA & Jin main since T1,T3. I'M genuinely excited and jealous of her! I gotta play her soon! Definitely Heihachis child! This video was dope! 🔥
Such a dope series and guide. As a Heihachi main, it’s a struggle to adopt a new character (even though she has inherited some of his moves). Thanks for all you do!
Also found that her f2 into up or down goes into the Unsokus stance and if the f2 was on hit, It give a frame trap that parry any jab ( i think the parry Window reset everytime you switch between Unsoku stance) Not much but i am still putting that out there
I almost gave up on Reina until I watched your videos, really helped me get comfortable with her. One question, do you think her wave dash is bugged? Can’t seem to consistently wave dash in from the other end of the screen but when I’m up close, I can do it endlessly.
Something I've not often seen mentioned is that electrics from unsoku seem to have 1 frame of leniency - if you try to execute a regular EWGF from the stance and you input d/f one frame before the 2 input, you still seem to get an electric. I have very mediocre execution but that buffer is enough for me to go from 10% success rate in hitting electrics to more like 50%
Great video as always. Quick question,after you get a parry with wind step or Unsoku, what do you normally do if you want to stay safe (or retain pressure)?
You don’t parry with wind step, if you do get the parry you should be able to probably hop kick wind god step into 2 id imagine then you can start your juggle combo… but im not completely certain if its safe
@@maxofalltrades8989 I see is it the same party animation? I assume you can start your juggle from it… but I have yet to successfully use any of her parries as parries so idk
@@caravaneerkhed I don't think you can juggle after, you seem to be +10 but they can always block. I guess you get a free mixup attempt between Hellsweep and maybe ws2?
That's the thing i love the most about Reina, a lot of movement capacity, i love it in terms of gameplay and how i approach the fight, same as i love how Dragunov can play with a mix of strike and throws and feint.
As beginner I love this move and i dont know why... sometime i use the move for wiff or bait things and most of the part to reset my mind so i can try to remember moves.... and bait people because the distance of that kick is insane
Great guide but I think theres a small error. When you do electrics out of Unsoku stance, for whatever reason, you have to delay the attack input button to be 1 frame after down forward rather than the usual same frame timing. I'm unsure if its a bug and will get changed later but thought I should point it out.
The up and down unsokus evade much less than a sidestep, you can do sidestep into unsoku to get a larger sidestep though! The back version has a lot more evasion, similar to a backdash 👍
f2~u or f2~d will transition into unsoku, leaving 0 on block, which means you can safely press 4 and nothing can beat you, jab is high and mid moves usually starts from 12 frames and more. Maybe only dickjab, but usually players expect that after they block something it is now their turn so they press int heat engager.
love this move but definitely get a lot of it accidentally, which can really cause some issues. She's a hard character mechanically for sure. Part of mastering her will be knowing you misinput something and taking the appropriate measure.
You need to input DF to cancel into a crouch dash, then 2 so the wind god fist comes out. Timing is tight but you can get EWGF from stance cancels too 👍
I kinda understand her stance game. But I definitely don't understand her full crouched game. There's got the be a way to use it since f3+4 is her signature move but is very punishable. Most of her mids from crouch are either unrewarding unrewarding or very punishable with no lows alternative. Do you mind making a video about her full crouch game? Or just f3+4 in general? Ws3+4 seems like the only useful move out of crouched.
What allows you to do so many electrics in a row? Is it just raw speed or is there a technique to it? Been trying to learn how to do that and wavedash but i'm not sure if i'm fast enough because I max out at 2, also if you/anyone happens to have some tips on how to get more consistent electrics from wavedash chains would appreciate it a lot. I can more or less do them from standing but its so much harder from wavedashes
It’s a mixture of speed and timing, you need to initiate the dash electric right as your recovery frames end from the previous, the dash needs to be a specific length and the EWGF needs to be pretty quick. I have an older guide on dash electrics if you’re interested 😊. Wavedash electric comes down to practice tbh, it can be tricky timing the 2 input as doing fast wavedashes requires you to skip over the DF input pretty quickly. Start with 1 wavedash into electric and mentally seperate the wavedash from the EWGF, then move up from there. Let me know how you go! 👊
@@MishimaComplex Ive checked your dash electric guide, no wonder why i hit double electrics sp inconsistently sometimes i accidentally did dash electrics. As for the wavedash practice I'll try that method and practice it =) Not entirely comfortable with chaining wavedashes anyway when i pay attention i get medium speed but as soo as i start thinking about doing spmething i fumble with my thumbs :D Its painful to be a new Mishima player but she is so much fun even in practice
@@Rhyhmx yeah that happened to me before too! Luckily you don’t really need any more than 1-2 wavedashes, but I definitely understand the urge to want to learn 😂 Keep at it!
@@MishimaComplex thanks! Two more quick question, does hitting f df+2 is better or crouch dash 2? I find it a bit easier to do the cd version but not sure if there's any benefit to the other one, perhaps for punishing with less input. And another question is that the hellsweep you get from cd has a nitation that you can boost its damage? But i never bern able to get that one right
@@Rhyhmx I’d personally do F,n,D,DF unless you’re really comfortable with electrics. F,n,DF is good for tight punishes, but it’s a lot easier to misinput. Powered up version is just doing the crouch dash move with F,n,D,DF instead of DF3. There’s no special effect but it does slightly more damage 👍👍
In heat unsoku 4 hold forward > dash EWGF x4, micro dash DF1 > F23F > sentai 1+2 > heavens wrath DF (crouch dash cancel), while crouch dashing let go to neutral to begin while standing state, while standing 3,4 > FF3+4 > 1+2 Let me know if you need clarification with any of that 😂
Still very unpractical stance imo, since instead of going into unsoku you can just back dash into df2 / ewgf for same(or better) result. I hope they made those stances more applicable in the next seasons.
Yeah I feel you, I think the benefit of the stance is it simplifies whiff punishing a lot, which I’m guessing is what the devs intended. I like that she has multiple ways of approaching these situations though 👍
"Strangely", bro it's a tekken stance. You always have options from stances. She's a Mishima so she's made with stance options including stance canceling.
As I am someone new to tekken, your guides are super appreciated. Helps me understand the basic moves, and try exploring more complex ones.
Glad I could help out! ❤️
If u want good combo guides, TheFURY also has good videos. Straight to the point, no fluff.
I highly appreciate the separate guide videos on the different stances. It makes it much easier to digest and I can always come back when I feel like I don't remember all the details and options the stances provide. Thank you so much for the guides.
No worries, thanks for the support 🙏
Again, much appreciated!
One thing to mention is that you can cancel f1+2 with 3 for a low or hold uf and 3 or 4 for the respective running attacks.
I always love the practical examples
Great video as always👍
Thank you kind sir 🙏

100%, 1 thing at a time, you don’t need electrics to win, or perfect movement. Keep at it sounds like you have a good mindset for it 👊👊
You make the best guides that I need, the gameplan part is super useful!
I am loving the game and the character more and more learning from these videos.
Thank you, looking forward for more! :)
Glad you’re enjoying! 👊
It’s a blessing to find a channel to help me get better with my new main haha
And this game is honestly so much fun
I don’t have T8 yet, but god, man, I love Tekken so much.
These guides literally elevated my gameplay so much, I can finally understand TEKKEN lol

I've been following your Reina guides since the first and man I love it so much.
Thanks fellow Reina bro
Appreciate your support ❤️
This character is amazing honestly

P.S.: F*ck me I managed to do OTGFs reliably just weeks before T8 was there.
Your not alone man, ill managed to do double Omen combos weeks before t8 dropped, i guess the just frames training is not Lost for Reina
Nice examples to how implement the stances, i will practice this today. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I like the segment showing use-cases, most guides typically just go through options and what they do
Man thanks for all of your Reina video, i love the little details and gimmicks you show
Thanks for these amazing small videos as a first time mishima your guides help me the most.
I love they've finally made accessible Mishimas with Jin and Reina having EWGF from stances outside the traditional input
Man... I love this character
I have to thank you! I never knew these stances where so usefull! Keep up the great work!
God tier guide as always.

She looks so fun! Cant wait to try her out!
She is! Highly recommend 👍
your the best tekken 8 channel by far !!🎉
Very nice. Thx. Love that you include the application of this weird move.

Her wavedash is indeed bugged at a certain distance.
@@proxima1998 Ah, that sucks. Hope it gets addressed in a patch soon.
Holy shit that bait whiff from sentai to unsoku 4 is insane
Raw af
I love the new Tekken but the novelist is intimidating so these videos are unbelievably helpful
This is fireeee mannn.
I really would love to see a vid on what to do in neutral with reina in general
For sure man, thanks for the suggestion 🙏
It hadn't occurred to me yet to use this move as a whiff bait
This is great information. I never delved into the use of this stance but on first use it felt impractical so I just never use it.
Something I've not often seen mentioned is that electrics from unsoku seem to have 1 frame of leniency - if you try to execute a regular EWGF from the stance and you input d/f one frame before the 2 input, you still seem to get an electric.

I switch my long years of kazuya to Reina. she's really fun to play!
Why does his voice make me feel like I’m in a training arc in anime
I also discovered that you can Unsoku 4 by holding df during the move
This moves is so great
Hey bro this is a really good guide man, keep up the good work thumb👍
Good lord. The stance mash gauge refresh is going to make people lose their minds.
Im going to start doing it just to see how people react.
😂😂
One of the unique characters that, despite being added later to the game, feels as if it has been there from the very beginning.
Thank you so much man
Thanks a ton for the gameplan section!
Unsoku stance into f3 into uf1+2 near wall for a wall splat setup. I suggest us8ng after you knock them down first
Love these Vids Brother keep up the good work❤
That's how guide videos are supposed to be!....
Short and consise!
Nobody has patience for 2-3 hour long lectures...

Insane set-up !
My god, higher-level Reina's are built different.. I've got so far to go
Thank you!
Yow quick question. When you activate heat it does the running anim, is it considered as a while running state? Or you have to input wr manually?
Nice video! Can you do one about her counters too?
Yeah definitely!
Need an update guide on ways to use this stance
That's the thing i love the most about Reina, a lot of movement capacity, i love it in terms of gameplay and how i approach the fight, same as i love how Dragunov can play with a mix of strike and throws and feint.
Yep lots of player expression which is always a good thing imo 👊
Awsome vids help a lot 🙏🏿🙏🏿. Could you do a how to play neutral game for her?
Yes! Planning on it 👍
coming from sf and other 2d fighters, when i saw unsoku gen i instantly went "oh is a shimmy into some powerfull shit! cool!"
how do yall remember all this. as someone new to fighting games i find all this so daunting and don't know where to begin aha
Baby steps brother, keep playing and it’ll all go to muscle memory 💪
as always goated ❤
You da man
@MishimaComplex Will you do guide for her parry ~f (Raijin parry)? like what is guaranteed after the parry?
I don’t think any thing is guaranteed. It’s for + frames, momentum shift and pressure. I miss the old man’s parry- he got a guaranteed juggle.
Ill do a party guide at some point yeah, as @drbayrd1384 said there’s nothing guaranteed, just for frames/stealing the turn
@@MishimaComplex Thank you! Maybe there is just frame input after the parry? Who knows...
Yeah I’m hoping there’s a way to get a 10 frame punish, but I have a feeling it’ll be pretty difficult for not much reward 🥲
you should do tutorials for everything.
straight and to the point with no lame ass jokes or prolonged explanation.
Working on it 😂 thanks for your support 🙏
I haven’t seen video talking about it
But if you go F neutral 4, on counter hit you have a full combo
Yeah really underrated move!
As beginner I love this move and i dont know why... sometime i use the move for wiff or bait things and most of the part to reset my mind so i can try to remember moves.... and bait people because the distance of that kick is insane

@@MishimaComplexNever tried it as combo filler, it looks like a finisher or heat dash extension. Will test it.
I am a jin main and just checked her last night... She's a monster... And am planning to switch mains
She’s a lot of fun! You’ll have a smoother transition coming from Jin as well 👍
@@MishimaComplex yes, you mean from stances point of view... Right?
@@TekkenZenshin yeah stances + mishima
Is there a real followup after the parry?
I saw something about crouch cancel into 1 1 2. But I always accidentally do a cd followup
What do you press after the unsoku into wind god step to get the electric? df and then d, df + 2?
Just DF+2 at the exact same time :)
Hey can you create a tutorial on movement on unsoku stance it would be helpful
love this move but definitely get a lot of it accidentally, which can really cause some issues. She's a hard character mechanically for sure. Part of mastering her will be knowing you misinput something and taking the appropriate measure.
Yeah I got a lot of misinputs too, the fact that all 4 main directions + left kick are stances, had me mashing in a lot of tight situations lmao
so does Insoku stance give instant electric? or you have to do the electric input from Insoku using dash?
You need to input DF to cancel into a crouch dash, then 2 so the wind god fist comes out. Timing is tight but you can get EWGF from stance cancels too 👍
I kinda understand her stance game. But I definitely don't understand her full crouched game. There's got the be a way to use it since f3+4 is her signature move but is very punishable. Most of her mids from crouch are either unrewarding unrewarding or very punishable with no lows alternative.

Will definitely make one soon! Need to lab it a bit more for sure 👍
You can do electric while in the stance just by pressing those buttons?
Yep the input is a little tight but you can get it by hitting DF+2 only
btw is Reina controller frendly character or not?
Yeah for sure 👍
am I tweaking or did bro just casually do a 4 electrics combo?
