The only issue with bringing Dragonov into official MMA is stopping him from breaking everyone's legs before they get a chance to get a tap out.
or arms
or necks
or skulls
@@Iffem and maybe a broken spirit
@@dragonpride95 I'd say all of the above
Dragonov - *points menacingly*
We already have a fighter named Rousimar Palhares, a Brazilian fighter infamous for not letting go of submissions even after opponents tapped and refs called off the fight, check out his compilation
I love Bob's backstory. He was a mediumweight who put on pounds so he could compete in heavyweight instead but his fanbase thought he was just letting himself go and turned on him.
Bob decided to just lean into it completely, bulked himself up to what we see in the games, and retained the speed he had originally just to prove to everyone he still had it.
Actually he did the training regimen to make himself big because he felt like he struggled against large opponents.
Speed and weight.
@@jessepeterson6694 aka the Brock Lesnar. In both pro wrestling and MMA, what made Brock absolutely singularly unique is that he wasn't just the strongest and biggest person on the roster, he was also the quickest. It was insane to watch. No other pro wrestler had ever been that big and strong while also being so insanely fast. He was and is a complete freak of nature. He just had so much physics charisma, just watching him perform moves, like throwing around men who were 250lbs like they were small toy rag dolls, and he did it _SOOOOO_ fast.
There's never been anything like him before or since. There's been guys bigger than him (at least height wise like the Big Show, also Brock isn't really super tall or anything for a pro wrestler, he's only like 6'2'', but he was the biggest in terms of muscles) but these big guys were always without exception slower. Like how elephants are much stronger than mice but they're also much slower and every movement they make is a big slow one. People like the Big Show, Kane, the Undertaker etc were huge and tall and strong but they came absolutely nowhere near the speed of Brock.
These days Lesnar is a lot slower, because he's in his 40s, although he's still as strong as ever. But those early 2000s days when he was simultaneously the most muscular, the most strong, and the quickest guy in WWE was just breathtaking to watch. He was meant to be a heel but everyone loved him because of that insane physical charisma he had.
If he'd continued to pursue amateur wrestling, since he had been a NCAA champion and so could absolutely have continued going down that path, he'd be a gold medal winner in the Olympics. But he went into pro wrestling instead and as a pro wrestling fan I'm so glad he did. But yeah you can definitely imagine him being an Olympic medal winner and then going straight into MMA after that and dominating for years and years. He probably wouldn't be anywhere near as rich as he is today, though, if he'd done that. So yeah, good for him.
But yeah I really recommend everyone watch some of Brock Lesnar's early matches in 2002-2004, his first run in WWE. Even non wrestling fans should watch them. _ESPECIALLY_ non wrestling fans, actually.
@@duffman18AKA Slim Bob from Tag 2
@@duffman18 you should put a disclaimer though. brock lesnar's diet does not consist of food broken down to nutrients, his diet is steroids. this is obviously a hyperbole, but you get the point.
Bob's style is both hilarious and well-developed. He basically was a world champion who vanished one day, then returned a sumo-style giant who rebuilt both himself and his style for the peak of "speed and weight." Absolute king.
He basically got fat while keeping his speed and skill because he couldn't beat bigger opponents when he was slim
Facts
He reminds me of Butterbean
2:30 onwards this guy explains whiff punishing and +/- frames really well lmao
This guy should coach some green rank tekken players lol
Lmaoo
This is immediately what I thought of too haha. He learnt about frame data in the game just by knowing about MMA and watching a generic Jin parry. Shows you how knowledgeable not just RJ is but also the developers for Tekken are in combat sports.
Kinda of. This existed when he was a kid too, he probably just never learned how to play fighting games(not criticizing btw, fgs are hard and only 10 to 5% of the public that plays them really learns how a fighting game works)
That clip should be used in every “How to play Tekken for beginners” video lmao
Very helpful information
Dude should review the rest of the tekken roster. Would really be interesting.
If you haven't seen it he already reacted to a couple of other characters (Paul, Marduk, Josie, Brian, King) in the 'MMA Fighter REACTS to Tekken 7 Fighting Styles' video
@@thelaughingman4791 Yes but there more char, Tekken has allot of them with different styles.
Noctis Lucis Caelum won't work for him
I want to see him react to Noctis and Sonic lol
Lol the dlcs 😂😂😂
We must see Sifu and everyone agrees
This👆
Bunch of dummies
+++
I miss Yoshi
I wan't to see him here again
Yep, sifu got my vote for the next game.
Im surprised they didn't do bryan, he's a kickboxer and most of his moves are pretty realistic, with a fair share of silly moves
Yea as a Bryan main I would've loved to see that, but if I had to guess, it'd probably be because he doesn't really have a lot of combinations and he's sort of "generic" in his fighting style. He's not super unique compared to guys like Steve, Fahkumram, and Hwoarang. Still would have loved to see that, and if they do another video with more characters I would 100% watch it
In a older video he reviewed Bryan. It was pretty nice
There's nothing silly in Bryan's fighting style
The producers probably thought it would be a bit redundant since they got Fahkumram and also, I think Bryan was already covered in an older video.
@@wildman7220 There's a decent amount of silly moves that are pretty risky
RJ's commentary was super fun and interesting! Although, it would've been a lot more interesting if Gamology presented him with fighting styles he would have more knowledge of, like, ESPECIALLY Miguel's untrained brawling, or instead have Gemma, Noah, or Yoshi on as well to provide more insight about Leroy's Wing Chun, Lei's Drunken Fist/Five Forms, and others because obviously RJ isn't going to know everything about these non-MMA styles
Agreed! I’d love to have them do this same video with the Martial Artists react crew!
Seems like a no brainer. I'm still wondering why they didn't have Gemma & Martial Arts gang together with RJ here. Maybe it's a conflict of schedules.
Ngl, kind of cringed when he down played Lei Drunken Fist.
@@SiCxWiDiT Yeah, I definitely feel like the lack of information about these non-MMA fighting styles made him downplay Lei's and Leroy's styles especially and I was honestly a little disappointed
Wing chun is sometimes a meme in mma community its normal for him maybe make fun about it
As a wrestler and someone who transitioned into BJJ, leg locks are terrifying. You can straight up hospitalize people because of their own stubborn nature. Blowing out knees, tearing ligaments and tendons. Its really nasty stuff. Its why most BJJ schools dont allow heel hooks. Done properly, its safe, but all it takes is that one stubborn person or for it to be applied wrong for too long and you will hear a pop, and someone will be in a cast.
And a lifelong crutch
As a white belt, I concur that leg locks are extra scary
Knock somebody out without going down and you don't have to worry about it.
@@user-ty5di3ku6o i just gave him brain damage But i at least didn't break his legs
Damn Sergei Dragunov would ruin you wouldn't he?
I just enjoy the pointing during Dragunov's part that "This isn't a martial art you won't see Jackie Chan use." then missed the part where Lei IS the Jackie Chan reference with the animal styles and Drunken fist.
Well jackie chan did use those moves
He also missed the Wushu part. Also missed the Capoeira part, just like JJ, it's not a Brazilian martial art. Brazilians invented a variation of something that already existed.
And lei is also a police which is a nod to Jackie Chan in police story
@@DimitriMoreira They’re still both Brazilian
I thought he was _deliberately_ going out of his way to not mention Drunken Fist, tbh. I don't know a single MMA trainee that _doesn't_ audibly groan whenever it's mentioned, even if purely from a cinematic appreciation standpoint lmao.
I'm really glad he got what Bob was about, speed and weight. It's super refreshing to see a fat character in a fighting not used as a joke character but a real, legitimate fighter.
He's literally an obese American caricature. More like a joke superhero than a real, legitimate fighter.
Not to mention Bob has a sigma male mindset. He intentionally put on this extra weight because he was a champion of his weight class, just so he could legally challenge those above his weight class.
Speaking of a fat fighter.. ever heard of Butterbean?
That’s probably because most fighters are in shape, the only martial art where people are actually fat is sumo wrestling or maybe a few heavyweight boxers can look “fat.”
@@ReblazeGaming There are a lot of fat MMA heavyweights who would be competing a weight class or two down if they got in shape.
I think Bryan and Josie's styles are pretty realistic too.
Bryan is an American kickboxing and josie is arnis and yaw yan(a Filipino hybrid kickboxing)
@@ninjasolarteam Josie is Eskrima
really surprised there was no Lidia in this considering she's a newer character and is the more realistic depiction of Shotokan Karate in video games.
I agree.. lidia, fahkumram, Steve are the most realistic imo
Pretty sure he would agree if he would see her movelist
@@JustAnte9557 hwoarang too, beautiful Taekwomdo.
I think she's the only one that had a real expert so the mocap
@@marzellholbrook6130 fahk did as well as eddie. i don't know about anyone else. wish they did more mocap for the game. hopefully tekken 8 does because it's a huge difference in seeing the out of date characters compared to the mocap'd ones.
That character really sucks, style, looks, plot, appeareance everything is just bad.
Always love this guy's commentary
Funny he mentions Bob using his weight to his advantage as that's exactly WHY he's fat. He broke it down to the basic physics of "Speed plus mass equals more force" and simply added mass while keeping up his speed.
Also went back and watch the previous video he did and kind of sad they just reused a bunch he already reacted to. Next time go with the weirdos. Would love to see him try and explain why the Boxing Kangaroo (or Raptor) or whatever the fuck Yoshimitsu does.
Bob is a former MMA fighter who retired but still got the speed and Weight
It's actually acceleration times mass but I'll spare this one
Wanna see him react to Miguel's street fight brawler style. No stance, just standing upright ready to exchange blows.
Yoshimitsu uses ninjutsu, kenjutsu, kubuki sword dance and gymnastics (aka land shark).
Would be fun to see an mma expert explain all that though.
@@coryyoung7544 ninjutsu isn't a real martial art anyway lol. Ninja isn't even a Japanese word. Shinobi were untrained peasants who were spies and murderers and got wiped out by the Samurai. They didn't want Samurai around to enforce laws.
Bryan Fury is a classic K-1 Style fighter. When I played Tekken 3, he reminded me of all the great K-1 Fighters I've watched from time to time.
Woo I knew he'd like Dragunov after his first video! There's so many characters in this game with neat aspects of real martial arts, a full analysis would take multiple long videos. So do that, please!
It would be faster to list characters not based on martial arts.
ua-cam.com/video/nsu_5SuvdIQ/v-deo.html
I really loved the rankings after. I hope you make this common (wherever applicable) for all Experts videos going forward.
Butterbean was a prime example of using your own fluid mass to add power to your strikes like he mentioned with Bob
Not just that, if you watch his fights his opponents couldn't measure him at all because he was so round. They consistently whiffed on head shots and dropped their guard thinking they were out of reach then ate an overhead that would have been clearly telegraphed if he didn't stand in a way that made his fat cover up his shoulder movements.
He was legitimately good and all rotund fighters should study his style.
We often see real fighters react to moves or styles in fighting games, but it would be really nice to have one react to an actual competitive match. The mindset you need to approach fighting games much more emulates a real fight then the moves in the game in my opinion.
You mean make them react to players playing games?
That's kind of interesting but idk how they'll structure the video. This one's already 20 minutes long, by the way you describe it, it could be a really long one
Really? Honestly I think Tekken professional matches are way more unrealistic. Professional matches are all about trying to launch opponents and chain moves and juggle them in the air, which is pretty much the most unrealistic part of Tekken as a whole...
@@Holeros
That’s just not true at all. Most competitive matches don’t have many launching combos, in fact the best Tekken player and current world champion barely uses combos and mostly just uses small safe moves. Even noobs can do those combos, pro players and pro play are all about avoiding getting hit by those combos.
nah its too much dashing and backdashing not very realistic imo
thank you for explaining the history of capoeira! as a former capoeira fighter (idk if that's the right word lol), I love to see the history taught to others. it is seriously such a cool martial art
Lei's martial arts styles are the 5 animal forms and drunken fist.
It's never a bad video when RJ is in. Keep em coming Gamology
The theory behind Sambo is very old. The French also utilized it during their conflicts with the English. Englishmen had to train from childhood to use the English longbow effectively, they were renowned as a nation for their archery. The French realized that they could cut the middle finger of an archer off, leaving them alive, and thus a drain on resources, but making them useless in a fight. This is the origin of using the middle finger as a taunt. It's the English mocking the French, saying "I still have mine, you didn't catch me."
I was today years old when I learned this. Holy shit.
There also another theory, if you break an enemies leg, he or she won't be able to get up and fight, making it easier to kill him or escape.
You learn something new every day.
No offense but the story taught in England is that the French cut off two fingers because that is what the English use to draw their bows and this was used after the battle of Agincourt to show the French that "we still have our two fingers" though I am interested in where you got your source from.
That's a popular myth, but it isn't rrue
Part 2 needs to happen
this is technically part 2
Feng's style is definitely heavily borrowed from Hung Gar. He has the iron bracelets, tiger claw palm techniques etc. Never saw him before, but as soon as I saw the iron bracelets and tiger claw I instantly recognized it. Back in the day, they were tip of the spear when it came to duels. Those iron bracelets slowed them down, but the extra mass behind their punches was brutal. They could also use them when blocking and I imagine punching iron doesn't feel too good.
What's the context for these duels?
@@MansMan42069 settle disputes, gambling, bragging rights.
@@user-ty5di3ku6o By "tip of the spear", you mean these guys would the guys who were sent first to fight on someone's behalf?
@@MansMan42069 meaning they won. A lot.
@@user-ty5di3ku6o Ah gotcha
2:36 RJ unintentionally learning what minus on block is. You love to see it.
When he mentioned "Fight Night" when talking about Steve, I actually thought to myself "Y'know, having Steve in 'Fight Night' would be pretty cool as a guest character."
Considering they threw Lars into a Naruto game for no reason and had Paul and Law in Urban Reign, Steve in a Fight Night game makes the most sense.
It would be nice to just get a new fight Night game.
Love Kazuya, has been my favorite since the first Tekken
UA-cam randomly suggested this video to me and I binged every RJ video on the channel.
He's simply amazing, takes the games seriously and breaks down the fights as if they are real life situations.
He also has great humour, love the guy. Hope to see more of him!
This dude clearly loves the grabs, y’all should just do an episode where he sees all the grabs in the game. There’s literally hundreds.
Oh and the parries and chickens and reversals and tackles
Rates tekken character styles and does not watch King the most complete grappler in fighting games, what a sinner.
ua-cam.com/video/nsu_5SuvdIQ/v-deo.html
One of the top MMA fighters ever-Khabib-was a "grappler", and he retired without losing a single match. (W 29 - L 0)
@@dontbothertoreply9755 That kijd of wrestling isn't very MMA like tho.
Most Definitely!!
As a martial artist and huge Tekken fan myself, this was amazing to watch. Ill be doing my own videos similar in the future
Gemma or Yoshi or Noah AND RJ reacting to fighting games. I wanna see their different opinions about fighting. RJ missed the point of Lei. Hes doing drunken fist. Not a practical fighting style but fun to watch
I thought he'd catch that drunken fist he was doing was based off Jackie Chan. Oh well haha
@@xenulus5282 yea, me too, lei style is obivous lol
Lei is not a pure drunken fist he also uses 5 animal style stands kung fu don't know the propper name
@@nilge90 Shaolin Kongfu, i believe.
Great to see Rj again.The breakdown and ranking bit at the end was a nice addition. I would love to see him on an episode with the martial artists if possible.
Very informative and fun to watch! Always looking forward to this series❤ Hope next you guys cover the rest of the roster. Was especially hoping for Julia.
Would love to see him react to insane and 'weird' playstyles in tekken like zafina, yoshi etc. would be very cool to see!
This actually made me like some of the fighters more like Steve, Dragunov, Bob, and Fahkumram. Great job you guys! ^_^
Fun fact: Bob was OBSCENELY overpowered in Tekken 6. Easily the most dangerous character in the game, and he kinda killed the competitive scene, because too many people were playing him, and a Bob vs. Bob grand finale isn't really that interesting to watch. They nerfed him in Tekken 7, but he's definitely a threat both realistically and in-game.
Fun fact about Bob his background is he was a pretty lean guy, his style is freestyle karate (whatever that is). But he always lose to bigger opponents, so he decided to make himself into a literal canonball, the perfect combination of Speed and Weight.
Basically... Yes, a heavyweight that can move like that would be a monster in the cage.
Cyril Gane and Chris Barnett have entered the chat
@@champ1159thats what i thought
Andy Ruiz Jr... former world champ and pretty damn slick and fast for a fat guy
Amazing video and commentary, he elaborates on the matter very well and is fun to watch
I hope we get another video like this for the rest of the roster. I was interested to see how he’d compare Julia’s and Leo’s usage of Baji Quan. Love seeing RJ!
This guy clearly isn't very knowledgeable about Chinese martial arts, so I highly doubt he's has anything of real value to say
Julia more a Xinyiquan that a bajiquan her stance the way she punch and kick look nothing like bajiquan but definitely xingyi only her elbow that has characteristics of bajiquan (only one moved)
Julia doesn't use Bajiquan. The wiki says she uses Xinyiliuhequan
I want UFC Fighters react to Tekken
YESSSSS. This is exactly what I wanted!
Love me some Tekken videos.
Fun fact about Law and Lee: Law's official style in Tekken is 'Martial Arts' whereas Lee's style is actually 'Jeet Kune Do'.
That's because this guy doesn't know what Kung Fu is. Lei's style is Kung Fu, which is just an encompassing term for "Chinese Martial Arts". Lei's style is mainly based on Kung Fu's animal styles, but that is only a half dozen of them. MMA is different from Kung Fu. Kung Fu is for self defense and way of life. It draws it's inspiration from life and nature, and is very much legit. Drunken style is also a real thing. Distraction, getting an opponent over confident, unorthodox attacks, traps and tricks is the heart of drunken style and all tactics used by the greatest fighters in the world including MMA.
With that said, imagine my reaction to his "reaction" to Kung Fu😂
Glad that you didnt forget about this awesome game, big respect to RJ for reacting, comentaring and entertaining
If I was to recommend any of RJ's reaction videos it would be this one. Any MMA fan would love to watch this.
Lei's fighting style is Drunken Boxing it's basically a Chinese Martial Art in which you make movements that simulate the movements of a drunk person in order to throw your opponent off your guard in order to set up your own attacks this fighting style was made famous by Jackie Chan when he did the popular Drunken Fist film duology.
Lei uses a few styles of Kung fu. Drunken boxing and a few animal styles. One of the reasons behind the drunken boxing style is it creates very unorthodox movements and hard to predict the move an timing.
Drunken Style!!
Yeah, it's clear this "fighter" has never heard of Kung Fu before. Even MMA Champions have used directly and indirectly techniques found in the Drunken style. Silva for one used unorthodox attacks and movements, showboating to lure counters, ect. That's is literally what drunken style is.
Finally been waiting for rj to talk about Tekken for a while
Love his commentary!!! I hope reviews and breaks down more characters and styles in Tekken!! :)
Thanks for this part 2 !
I really like this guy doing these breakdowns/analyses. He's good at acknowledging sound fighting mechanics in the game while lenient enough to say if something is cool but maybe unrealistic.
If he can review the rest of the Tekken 7 roster, that would be awesome.
Glad my boy Bob got high rating. His rewiev is very close to his lore "speed and weight". Means that devs accomplished what thay set out to do with him.Big fan.
Yessssss the video I was waiting for!!! Thanks gamemology
1. Lei uses a mix of two martial arts: Wuxing (a mix of 5 animal styles on which the Furious 5 from Kungfu Panda are based), and Drunken Boxing (which you'll see Jackie Chan use in his Drunken Master movies). The latter is extremely difficult and is a counterpoint to almost all conventional styles because there are very few hard blocks.
2. Wing Chun is generally based on right angles. Launching straight punches instead of hooks give you greater speed and require less preparation to power up. So rather than being hit with one giant hook, it's about being hit with 4-5 jab/cross combinations. Similarly, defending from a right angle allows you to better catch and counterattack incoming fire.
3. How has RJ never heard of Butterbean?
Mehhh lei sucks anyway, btw nice research nerd.
I think he meant MMA heavyweights, boxing heavyweight competition is not at all vacant and when BB did MMA it was way past his prime and for the lulz.
Lei uses Shaolin Kongfu not Wuxing, which is a philosophy not a fight style. It makes sense he would have a lot of Jackie Chan's signature fight styles, as he is directly inspired and created to be a reference of Jackie Chan. Drunken Boxing is a very meme fight style, though its philosophy can be considered effective as it incorporates very unorthodox movement to help trick or deceive your opponent into not taking the fight seriously or dropping their guard, in which it allows openings to use surprise strikes to vital points. It also forces the opponent into awkward situations in which their fight style would be largely ineffective. Drinking adds to the deception and making it seem like your drunk also sells the act more.
Wing Chun also emphasis's strategically striking an opponents pressure points and prioritize using speed and precision to reduce fatigue and maintain control. Kinda sad that info got overlooked as it is a key point in many Eastern Martial Arts.
Also, he didn't mention that Law utilizes Jeet Kune Do, which was Bruce Lee's personal style that he helped teach. It derived alot of techniques from a large amount of martial arts and was rather practical and not just for Hollywood style fighting.
@@gliath888 I feel like he was unfamiliar with the traditional Chinese fighting styles… he’s MMA… the fighting he named were boxing, must thai, and dragonov…
@@gliath888 Bruce Lee's martial arts in real life barely resembles his fighting style in his movies. Law is mostly based on Bruce's characters. The ones who chose to use nunchucks despite the fact that most martial artists agree that such weapons are very impractical in combat. Hence, there's even behind-the-scenes footage of Lee in Game of Death where he repeatedly screws up twirling his nunchucks. You won't see JKD practitioners in MMA fighting like they're in Enter the Dragon.
AWESOME! RJ Reacting and breaking down TEKKEN 7 again! Damn I love this Doods input on Moves and arts in Fighting games. Also YAY! I STILL LOVE FIGHT NIGHT! Steve in Fight Night sounds pretty Dope.
Funny seeing you here
I always love to hear RJ talk about MA. Love this guy!
Kinda suprised that RJ didn't recognize the Jackie Chan reference in Lei?
8:45 as someone whos been doing Wing Chun for 6 years, I agree with a lot of what RJ says, besides what he is doing with his hands. It´s basically your non dominant Hand with the side of where the pinky is, facing the floor ,in front of your dominant Hand. (So for right handed people, left in front of right and for left handed the other way around) yes, you will Break your Fingers, trying to hit someone like that. Throat and eye pokes only like this. You normally Strike with the Palms, but Not curling your Fingers, so that when you Hit the head,you Clan grab the neck. In some cases you strike with a fist, elbow, knees to the stomach or higher if you are flexible enough,Kicks to the Knee, Chain Punches Which are Indeed fast and Not too hard but are very uncomfortable at the solaplexus. To be honest I also do Not know what this is at 9:48 Maybe it is supposed to be a double Palm strike that glitched in this Moment?
Very intersting to see a pro fighter React to Wing Chun while staying respectful towards the martial Art.
I apologize if my english might Sound weird,ist is limited and I am more used to german.
Stop it dude, only convincing yourself, unless you have some mystical superpower type stuff it just doesn't work
Respect to Mr.Clifford for knowing the history of caperoira
These colonizers : hey what are you doing?
These Brazilian slaves : Uh we’re actually doing some dance routines
[later, after these colonizers left the field]
Some Brazilian slave #1 : hey we’re gonna continue this?
Some Brazilian slave #2 : Uh yeah..
The thing with wing chun is that is designed mostly to fight in VERY close spaces, like the back alleys of hong kong, where you dont have an option to go to ground or run away.
This was awesome, turn it into a series and do the rest of the roster!
I would love him to see Yagami's Snake style, Crane Style, and Tiger Style from Lost Judgment
Facts
Tekken content on this channel is always amazing 👍🏻
Great video, so happy to see an "expert reacts " video, that isn't just trashing the game the whole time. You can tell this man is very educated and a fan
When I was doing my MMA spars at my old dojo I did a lot of stance switches and because I’m ambidextrous it worked so well. We did a lot of tournaments with a couple other dojos around the city and people really didn’t expect my stance switch to be strong left and right. I’d start with a left handed stance and once I made the switch to right handed a lot of my opponents figured it was a bluff and they would advance, or in some cases they backed away because they figured I was moving to my dominant side. It really screwed with people, I miss those days, and no I was never the best nor did I claim to be “the best” I really just did it for fun and to learn wushu which is what the dojo that I went to specialized in at the time, but I figured I’d learn more then just wushu, like Mui Thai, jujitsu, even a little bit of Tai chi. Sadly as of today I’ve hardly got any time on my hands to actually any of it anymore, just one of those things that I had fun doing and would probably do again if the opportunity were to arise cause well 🤷♂️ it was fun to do.
Do Tai Chi only if you want some flexibility in muscles but never do it for real fights. it's damn useless.
That's lovely how he enters in the world of the game and analize the chars like they are real person.
loved the acknowledgment about brazil history with capoeira, great job mate
Great work analyzing every fighter
If Tekken is good at 1 thing, then it is the accuracy of Martial Arts
wut? lol. no it's not. it's one of the worst. a lot of characters do moves like they don't have a spine and are a ton of stiff moves because a lot of the animations are outdated and aren't done by a motion cap. DOA and VF (done from the same engine originally) are the more realistic depiction of hand-to-hand combat in video games.
@@vincentdarkrosrayne Tekken did have motion captured the fighting styles. Fahkumram, Eddy, Hwoarang, Law, many characters are motion captured. The other fighting games are good as well, but Tekken's accuracy in martial arts is still really good. Definitely not one of the worst
@@Matt_Underwood oh, i know tekken has SOME motion capture characters. but a lot of it is not well depicted. fahk, lidia, leo are only some of the few that are accurately and well done that i can list off the top of my head. law has ridiculous moves as well as Eddy and hwao. because tekken at it's core is still very much an arcade game, hence, the old animations and not a 100% focused on realism or accuracy.
@@vincentdarkrosrayne Yeah fighting games are allowed to have certain moves that are not realistic, does not make the motion capture any worse. Even though characters like Eddy have different types of moves, it does not mean it is still not an accurate representation of Capoeria. Saying it is not realistic only due to certain moves not being real is not fair. It is still a videogame at the end of the day, so let it have some fun moves as well. Many of my friends, even 1 specific friend who even practises Capoeira says that Rddy is the best representation of Capoeira in videogames due to his moves being very accurate. DOA and VF are realistic as well, but have dome fun as well
@@Matt_Underwood eddy has very realistic Capo moves, yes. but i wouldn't say he's the best since he has a ton of moves that are fantasy and not of the actual fighting style. Lisa from DOA and even Makoto from King of Fighters are the best i've seen of that fighting style. well Matoko is probably up there with eddy. and yeah, games now (for the past 10 years) have been delving back into more of the flashy look of fighting styles due to fighting games being a spectator sport. tekken has never updated many of their character's movement which is why there are janky looking moves like the Mishima's hellsweeps. even in the first tekken react vid the reactors pointed out how weird a lot of the animations and body flexibility worked. in DOA that was never an issue because everything has always been mo-capped. Tekken didn't mo-cap when it first started and it doesn't really update many of its roster to incorporate.
But tekken has never transitioned into the realistic depiction like it's other 3D fighters have done. It's more akin to Bloody Roar. Real fighting styles but in an arcade-y setting where the moves won't be super realistic. That was more of DOA and VF's thing. Even Soul Calibur delved into realistic showings of their weapons form SC2-5. in 6 they went into adding more flare and thus more exaggerated moves.
Can gameology get this guy and the ER doctor to do a video?
7:12 "aaand just ruins your day." is an objectively really funny thing to say about getting your legs broken lmao
RJ is great, keep him coming on.
Lei is actually an homage to Jackie Chan, so his fighting style combines actual martial arts with comedy.
I assume to throw off his opponents.
*please have the gun expert react to Wolfenstein or Homefront: The Revolution.*
That was super cool!!
I didn't expect to hear that Bob's flashy rolling strikes were actually an efficient way of building up attack momentum for big guys. I thought the devs just thought it looked silly for a guy of his stature to be so acrobatic. It's also neat how his explanation of throwing out quick moves without the intent of causing damage to pressure the opponent and set them up for heavier strikes lines up exactly with how you approach fights in Tekken as well.
Damn. I guess Bob's lore really does make sense huh?
He should review Mila from DOA. She is like the most complete MMA fighter in a fighting game.
12:44 i love that you talked about this. such an important part of history and culture that alot of people dont realize about characters like this
Great informative video.
I’d love to see him compare Jin’s karate with Lidia’s.
Lidia 😍
Honorable mention
Jin does Kyokushin karate.
You guys added Bob to the list, this has made my day. Thanks!
Honestly freaking love this dude
Lots of people saying he should review the rest of the roste, and I 100% agree. But seeing as roster is pretty big and has some outlandish stuff (Yoshimitsu, Lars, Master Raven, Lucky Chloe...), it would be cool to see him at least look at the more grounded fighting styles like Bryan, Paul, Marduk and Josie.

3:17 A little correction, Jin doesn't do boxing. He uses Kyokushin Karate. The stance may not look like it, but it is.
Idrk if Jin's EWHF form/technique he used is from Kyokushin or from boxing though. please correct me if I'm wrong
Yea he's kyokushin, the combination with punches and leg kick gave it away for me when I first saw it
Most Kyokushin guys who've gone into Kickboxing or some kind of pro combat sport take up Boxing to supplement the no arm strikes to the head in Knock-down competition that limits how much exposure they get.
They get taught how to punch the noggin, they just don't see many of them in sparring.
Love the commentary. Really didn't know about that Capoeira history.
This was enthralling.
The biggest issue for capoeira is the start up. Footwork, spotting and evasion are great but timing for strikes…not so much 😅
I’ve been doing capoeira for years
Wing Chun uses closed fists when punching, weird that RJ doesn’t know that.
Wing Chun doesn't work tho the only Chinese martial arts that works in real fight is sanda
Need a part two of these same characters with the remaining moves .
I really enjoyed this vid
I'd like a vid where he looks at the moves pro players use, as a lot of pros have a more "realistic" playstyle where they try to do fast, small moves with low risk to set up larger moves later on
It's time to bring Sifu to gamology experts react
RJ knows what's works and what doesn't. Love this dude.
great video
my ONLY point of contest with his verdict was with the capoeira...Marcus "lelo" aurelio...nuff said lol
...I also might be a little partial because I practiced capoeira for years and we were taught the "flashy stuff" for exhibitions and sparring but also taught what moves could be realistically used in a confrontation...we actually were taught these moves in our street clothes because...that's what you'll be wearing if, God forbid, you had to fight back
Need him to review the girl characters >=\
This is great and we want more
This needs a part 2 for the other characters and then compile the list again.
Interesting seeing Feng switching his stance backwards seems to be a extraordinary move to add distance and to bait,punish I would love to see guys trying it out I wonder if you could through a right cross while switching backwards to post of your opponent to either A) follow up with a roundhouse or a head kick B) add distance while going southpaw, could be a good way to trick your opponent if they don’t know your dominant stance or take a break C) do a takedown when they start coming in.
Just food for thought.
Feng = McHammer Pants!!
