Going into the Lab for storm connections but not Tekken is insanity
One of my first thoughts😂 the ego got a hold of him
His ego be ultra ngl😂
Insanity? Nah that's just afro
He thinks this Sekiro lol
Because 1 is brain dead to learn and the other requires time and effort
Afro the type of dude who would use the broom the wrong way just cause he wants to prove that you can clean just as well with that side.
Looool😂
This is the perfect character read of Afro
This is the best comment here omg LMAOOO
I just imagine Patrick from Spongebob using the broom upside down😂
That is a goated comment
Bro doesn’t go into training for one of the hardest fighting games but does it for storm 💀
One of afrosenju moments ever
This man doing a money match in a game he's never labbed ONCE is a delusional confidence I am thankful to God I do not have LMAOOOO
All for the sake of content 😂
what does it mean to lab
@@miraajhussain9751 In fighting games, this typically involves training mode or practicing a particular character or skill
Afro Ep1: Shower me with info to help me improve.
Afro Ep3: *Ignores Learning Anything*
it's hurting my head to watch him not improve.
He came form a game that you don't need to practice to be good so I was prepared for this
@@marcoalex9512 OHHHH!!!!
I mean he did say from jump he didn't wanna hit the lab to learn
@lazyperfection The irony in that is the Tekken is literally about learning and adapting using all the fundamentals the game teaches you.
Hey, more content for us watching him get smoked LOL The man is entertaining.
Bro as a Tekken veteran, the best advice I can give you is honestly, just disable the "easy mode" and hit the lab, knew some key moves for your character, the most important combos, tryna learn some matchup. Tekken aint bloodborne or a soul like, trial and error brings you nowhere.
Gotta lab to improve. Almost every other type of game is designed for you to win. Trial and error won't get you far here
Thats what i was about to comment bros been using basic combos and doesn't even know how hard it is to actually do a move i was like imma let it slide.
fr its like the kids these days using google maps to drive everywhere. its fine at first but how do you expect to actually learn the roads/street names?
He's not tryna labbbb he been sayin tht. Let him lose a few more episodes(and bets) and maaaaaybe
@@Rang077 yeah i didnt wanna come into the comments to be a DH and be like why you using the "modern controls" because i cant lie i actually do get pissed off when i see people using them in my games cause im like how is it they can do half my bar with three inputs while im over here finna have a hand cramp to do the same. while i also do feel that in the end i win because i actually know what im doing instead of just pressing buttons but its still frustrating. Sorry for the book i been holding that in all week lmao.
We’re 3 videos in and he’s still refusing to lab for ranked play and expecting to see results. Afro if you’re serious about playing ranked in Tekken then getting into the lab is a MUST. Not just for learning your character but learning other matchups as well. You need to learn the basic fundamentals of the game and then learn a combo and wall combo. And for the love of god DROP THE SPECIAL MODE!!!
The consistent use of Special Mode just hurts. Like, I feel an inner pain watching this.
Especially when they switch mid fight .
💀💀💀 bro said going into rank nonstop 💀 at least learn ya moves g
Nah cuz, it’s just funny watching mans be ignorant like that 💀
Yeah the lab is 100% the next move 😂 it's necessary for ranked
Fr, my man is sabotaging himself and then complains about it smh
That was funny what he said, only because when I was younger I used to do that, now I just lab until I’m confident
Bros tweaking. Trynna rank up with special style. 😂
I got an 8 win streak in ranked only to get washed 8 times in a row right after lmao
It be like that sometimes 😂
After the 5th loss I would’ve called it quits take the Ws and go back to casual 😂
Sounds like my life when I played tekken 7
Tekken really be fucking ruthless like that sometimes lmao
Welcome to Tekken.
“Hold on lemme get a sip of this coffee”
*Screen INSTANTLY cuts on to the character who LOVES coffee*
A match made in heaven 😂
I love how he plays tekken...
-picks charachter for the first time
-presses triangle 3 times
,,yeah I am feeling this one boys"
love your videos, and I hope the tekken journey continues
"I've never seen a Russian lose a fight" Afro just casually admitting he's never seen Rocky? 😂😂😂😂😂
Naw rocky 4 was pure plot armor. Dude won by blocking punches with his face.
@@Aqu1ls_Curr3nt I mean I won a few matches with Reina that way
@@Aqu1ls_Curr3ntI've seen plenty of fights in combat sports where one fighter uses up all their energy going for the ko and gets worked
@@Aqu1ls_Curr3ntthat’s Rocky’s whole gimmick basically lol
Rocky didn't win the fight. Drago just hurt himself punching Rocky's face so much. Rocky lost the last 20 IQ points he had but yeah, he kinda won. It was a face vs hands match and somehow the face won. Bro had plot armor in the face. Might as well fight with a helmet on
I don't get why you'd choose to go through Sekiro with the demon-bell debuff & Elden Ring without summons, then turn around and play tekken8 with the simplified controls,.....please help me understand the logic.
Cuz anime fans Don't know shit lmoa 😂
on g
Let him cook
He likes to make things harder on himself apparently
@@fofecoggamesNaw as a anime fan don’t put the foolishness these UA-camrs do for clicks with the majority lol…I’ll play Tenkaichi 4 and come over to Tekken and do what I’m suppose to do
The issue is special mode. It’s not like modern controls in Sf6. Special controls is a hindrance unlike in SF6 modern controls is actually useful and access to most of the moves. You are literally missing 100 moves using Special mode.
And he means literally. Many characters actually have 100 moves lmao, look at King bro
@@moose7145 yeah he needs to go to practice mode and lab at least one combo and high/low pokes. At the very least.
I was once a pro player and I will never understand why people go into ranked match immediately. Especially Tekken 8, there are so many things to learn and so many other things to do. I have been playing in tournaments for 20 years, and would not dare go to ranked match without fully understanding the mechanics and my main character.
It’s stupidity
Ranked is better then quick match.
@@jayomega2717 finds matches quicker, more of a competitive pool
I have been a fan of afro for almost five years and never have I seen some self sabotage as hard as Afro when it comes to fighting games. This man needed that lost so he learn the tekken ropes fr
It’s for the content at this point 🤣
@@richardjimenez7666 I will never forget the day this man burnt butter dawg. He took its for content to a whole new level
Raven being called slow is insane to me
He is my secondary lol and yea he is slow fam
Raven has never been slow in any game. Plus speed means almost nothing on this game.
@@rigardo93godspeed11That guy's gameplan and punishes are not slow at all man
@@WavyJayZ tekken 5 Raven was on point lol
I think raven has nutty mixup pressure but aren't his frames kinda bad as a tradeoff. Maybe that's what they meant idk.
Afro has beaten hard games but fails to realize those games, no matter how hard, are still designed for you to win. I dont care how hard Melania was or the sekiro ape. Thats nothing compared to fighting an actual human in a game of skill. Get in the lab, learn, lose and repeat. Thats how you get getter at fighting games. The actual hardest games out there.
To be fair, fighting bosses in souls games is also a bit of luck cuz at the end of the day it is an AI but I definitely get your point. Im trying to pick up guilty gear and ive never played a fighting game cuz theres something about them thats difficult for me to grasp, ive learned mobas and shooters and the macro and micro of them but fighting games are a whole different animal
What’s getter
Honestly the moment I see specialty mode in a ranked match, I know I won already
As a beginner myself, I highly recommend finding a character you like the basics of and using them in arcade quest. It taught me a lot and I'm at warrior rank now.
As someone with 800 hours in Tekken, thank you for actually learning the game lmao. It's way more rewarding that way and you won't hit a hard wall, get frustrated and drop it like Afro's about to
Based Comment
@@rakkafriend5970 it's been a fun journey! This game offers so much in terms of training and teaching players how everything works but I see a lot of people jumping immediately into ranked. Not the move lmao
Exactly, the best way to find your main in a game like this is to just spend a good hour or two going through every single character (even the ones you don't like) and labbing with them against an AI for like 5 mins a piece. You'll know when you find the one, it'll feel the most smooth and effortless to combo with.
I have played tekken 7 for like 1 hours lol but really want to get into tekken 8, your said your a beginner and now your at a good rank how long does it truly take to get used to it and get good ?
I think if you just chill you'll get so much better. A lot of time you roll towards the enemy when down and you give them free hits
facts I think he should main dragunov
idk it's up to him in the end of the day
I recommend Jun, super strong and one of the easiest.
Drag is more technical. But everyone should play whoever they want@@seanbill1521
Maybe he suffer from ADHD?
That's because he needs to do the tutorial to learn what to do on wake up...
My advice put special mode to bed you can’t be creative with them and you’ll hit a massive skill wall if you don’t
“Where’s my specialty mode” 3 seconds into queuing into a match
U gotta take the training wheels off. It gives you more options to work with🤙
He's too new to understand those options lol
@@a.c.slater7989 nah, he should just turn it off, i dont play fighting games, and when i tried playing with that "easy mode" on, something felt off... Disabled it and after like 20 mins trying some shit up i was 9999x better.
That thing is simply bad, u play worse + u wont improve that way
@@XxViperMortalxX No you don't because you're doing combos you would never pull off without it
@@a.c.slater7989 doesnt matter, the lack of freedom to just do what you actually want to do is better than doing a "preset" move, and some simple decent combos aint even hard to do tbh.
Oh and also its me playing, not you, being harder without it for you doesnt mean its the same for me, if im telling im better without it, its because i am.
@@a.c.slater7989lol cap just learn his moves and do the combo Challenge in training to get a feel of the character rhythm
A great generic tip for new players is to forget about combos. Just play a solid neutral game and get used to constantly mixing up your highs, mids, and lows. Try to bully your opponent with low attaks until they start blocking low then start using your mid attacks to catch them blocking low. Mid attacks in tekken are like overheads in other games.
Make me
Actually the greatest advice dead ass just started doing this my self today and no joke miles better and I heard this from another player as well definitly facts
Bruh funny you mentioned this! I stopped following those long ass combos guides and just played neutral and defensive and then a bit of pressure when i see their constantly trying to launch me. Their so focused on those fancy juggles they forget the neutral game does work if patient. Won 5 matches in ranked with Leo and Jun. Oh and use grabs! If you can master grabs you can outplay a lot of people. But practice makes perfect!
nah, I'll panic heat burst
@@randallmart92Don't grab too much it put you out of position punishment game is where it's at. nowadays simple moves turn into launchers but a lot of people i see lacking is the wakeup game, I rarely see people use spring up or diagonal wakeup they just pop up into death 😂
Storm: "Imma lab this game so i have a good chance of winning"
Tekken: "IM HIM! IM HIM!"
*1 minute later*
"Bro why do i keep losing? JSJJSWJJZNWNANWJWJSJSJS"
Anyone else love hearing Afro scream “KOREAN BACKSHUFFLE” while man’s pressing attack button not realizing it’s a back walk technique 😂
"i am going to eventually try training mode, when I'm f**king dead."
That's the Afrosenju I grew up with since the appule challenge XD
Bro went into Rank without knowing how to do lows💀💀💀
"The Less You Know, The More You Lose."
Seeing afro losing so satisfying, seeing his ego crushed
the lab wont kill you
Shit, it might😂
💀@@LeKidderface
"different shades of the same color" afro you're on simple controls of course they all feel the same🤣
😂😂I was looking for this comment, simple controls are predictable after the first round
@@tsugikuniyoriichi22bro missing 99% of his moveset with that shit on😭
@@ylobenz fr this simple mode is terrible like is not even viable at low level
Is this man using auto combos AND GASSING HIMSELF UP?!
Playing a fighting game and not doing training mode at all is wild.
Title is wrong
“Afro in ranked is terrible” 😂
There perfect.
Just tapped in to see you get cooked, knowing you didn’t even set foot in the lab. lol my guy said “live by the gun die by gun” literally went in like someone eating a Popeyes biscuit. 😂😂
With no beverage.
LMFAOO
what does it mean to lab
@@miraajhussain9751 To train and experiment
hurts my soul to see specialty mode being used
Nah deadass Afros comment section be killing me man, shit is pure comedy in here. Sometimes its more entertaining then the actual video.
After seeing that finale, I KNOW WE AIN’T GETTING NO PART 3, this man got exposed as a fraud towards the end there 😂
If you've seen him attempt to play any other fighting game that isn't storm, you'd already know he was a fraud.
My guy really thought just cuz he was decent at one arena fighter he could get into the real thing 😂
@tsugikuniyoriichi22 lmao it's hard out here in these streets. This ain't storm good buddy. Afro getting mixed to high heaven.
Tekken is THE fighting game. I don't think he belongs here lol
@@krissmith9814 Im not an expert but even I knew I had to lab this bitch for at least 5 hours straight before even enter casual😂😂😂. This is a legacy game most of the people playing are Tekken 7 veterans. My guy should have at least complete the arcade quest.
I'm loving this arc, it took him 3 vids to finally get a win. Can't wait to see where his training arc takes him
Bruh the amount of fumbling the bag Afro did is hilarious.
afro's first win being against his shadow feels oddly poetic
😂😂
Hoping in ranked before practice is wild
At least play the story mode or something to have a decent feel for a range of characters lol
Afro realized this wasn't one of his lil anime arena fighters, gotta do some lab work on this one dog 🤣🤣
As a Raven main for years at this point, Raven's strengths lie in well-timed punishment, pokes, and overall combo damage. Knowing his lower framed moves are important for poking battles and memorizing his backstance moves too. His combo damage is on the high side so definitely spend some time in practice mode learning the staple combos before you fully tackle ranked.
Big tip for you afro is, take of the helping wheel iknow it looks like it makes it easier, but it actually holds you back from doing some combos. It will be much more rewarding and satisfying learning it that way
a tip Senju in case you are using a controller don't use the stick to move, use the d-pad( directional buttons) the stick is inconsistent the d-pad eliminates most misinputs issues you might face
hes not even using any directional moves with specialty mode to be worrying about that lol
got any dpad tips for diagonal inputs?? im so inconsistent with them and its making learning combos a pain
what do you mean by diagonal inputs ?
@@GioGio-fs8kz
Ok cool thanks. I was wondering which would be better to use.
@@GioGio-fs8kz if you mean something like down back or dp or something like up forward you just use your thump to press two directional buttons at once, you can also use one directional button and press to the side of that button like the lower end of back button to have a down back input this way is more inconsistent tho
Nah, for real? I had mourned this series already bro, let’s goo
Well see what happens in the next week lol
@@vastolordes6272he will level up or get stonewalled
Through all the rage and frustration, I'm glad you didn't give up! I can definitely see you maining Leroy in the future. Can't wait to see you achieve your goal. Incredibly proud of you Afro!! 😤👍🏿💪🏿👊🏿
This is my first Tekken as well. One thing I’ve learned is that if I’m not attacking, I’m defending.
Example: If my combo gets blocked, I immediately start blocking. And I don’t let go until I get an idea of what the end of their combo looks like.
Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash looks to be more of your speed little man 🤓☝️
😂😂 insane disrespect
I'm calling it, next vid is gonna be titled: Tekken 8 is a good game or Tekken 8 Ranked is great
Or "Tekken 8 ranked is a joke..."😂😂
"tekken tutorial is great"
For Leroy, b2 can party high and mid attack, stance will party low attack, and a lot of his attacks can sabaki (negate attacks during animation). He was busted back in t7
Afro's the type of dude who asks for advice but shrugs it off anyway.
bro the problem is that you set your ranked matches on that option that allow any rank player regarless his rank to fight you and that the worse option when you start the game, you have to set it only player with the same similar rank than you
That’s what i use to do I like to fight ppl stronger than me.
Lool OR he’s tryna rank on with no lab using special style 😂😂
Soon as I see that cheat sheet slide on the screen, I don’t let my opponents breathe.
AFRO BEATING THE ALLOCATIONS WITH THESE CONSISTENT UPLOADS IM LOVING THE TEKKEN ENERGY! I love the face cam I'ma be so honest that energy you be having is amazing I need the visuals dog it's next level!
You should keep the tekken content up!
Would love to see you shine in the future 😎🔥
Anytime I rank against someone using Special Style, I try to absolutely demoralize them and make them delete the game. ❤
💯💯🤣🤣
Good 😊
Keep doing that
I have a grudge against special style
Who hurt you?
Afro you are a grown man, the goal is to get decent but there is no set path to take. Change your approach to learning the game
Since you’re asking Afro, I have to say I really like you having your webcam on during matches. Just more expressive
This video made me sub! Very funny stuff man.
Ngl agreeing to a money match is crazy like bro this my first tekken too and i have been in the lab learning and im still ass
How are you liking Tekken 8 so far?
@@KingSprint Surprisingly im actually really enjoying since i come from smash i decided to main kazuya and learning a char is so much harder than mk or sf bcz there’s so many moves but it feels so rewarding to hit combos in this game bcz they require so much skill i can def see myself playing this even after dlcs come out
@@Poser9000 Glad you’re enjoying the game and honestly I feel that. Even though I’ve dabbled in Tekken here and there for years I’m no pro. So hitting the lab is definitely going to be crucial. Also nice that’s what’s up, hope you keep on improving not to mention getting wins too.
Honestly surprised that Afro hasn't tried to pick up Lars since he was a collab character in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2. Ngl if Afro mained him that would go hard as hell
Underrated point.
He would not understand how to use DEN, SEN & LEN and call Lars bad and slow when he finally got buffed
please stream too, ur content is so entertaining man.
we ready for the next vid!
Lets parry the lows and break the grabs!
you got the style afro but you gotta work on fundamentals like proper spacing from opponents, knowing when to punish someone when they whiff a move and overall just humbling yourself and knowing when to block and wait out combos. also knowing when to press buttons is very important too especially when you know that your opponent just threw out a move that leaves them wide open then you press on them for damage.
Unfortunately he can’t learn that with special style they give you slow launchers for punish.
Bro is suffering but it’s gonna be so invigorating when he gets through it
You haven't been here long huh?😂
Yo you're great! Good commentary and engaging gameplay, you doing more of bangers like these? Also a tip, opponents can see your special style popup in-game :)
yeah I am bullying all the players who are using special style lol
doto and afro are on the same wave I really hope their communities come together and get them a match together
Doto's cooking a little bit at least Afro's getting cooked
Doto seems to try to learn how to play Tekken
Dotos gifted at fighting games and labs Afro isn’t there’s a difference
I mean yeah Afro probably getting cooked still be an entertaining video.
im new to tekken (and fighting games in general) too and the biggest thing ive learned thats helped me win way more is playing patient and having at least 1 move (like 1, 2 for azucena) thats safe to throw out after blocking a couple attacks. this landed me my first actual combo ever today.
Have played around 30 matches in ranked so far, and haven't yet ran into anybody using specialty mode. Using specialty mode to get through single player content is fine and all, but actually using it for online is kind of embarrassing. I'm not trying to be rude about it or anything...
Got demolished by a special style king on ranked but other than that I haven't seen any
special style green rank+ will get blown up anyways
Afro nothing but love next video need to be basic controls
This is great! I like face cam for menu talk but i prefer the fights with just vo :)
Biggest advice for you homie is each match is completely different so you can't really go in with much of a solid strategy. Everyone plays every character different so you can't go in with a set plan. You have to be able to adjust to everything happening on the fly. One part you were too focused on the lows when you had other opportunities in that match to do damage.
Keep up all the good work, Afro love the videos
lol new sub here. Thanks for the video, the commentary is great. Love the highs and lows of the back and forth fights!
Gotta Keep The Cam On!!! Your Live Reactions Are Top Tier!!!!
We all know he's going to break that promise right.
The consistent ass-ery🙏🏾. No one does it like Afro
It's fucking peak fr
I love seeing afro getting into tekken
Tbh characters have so many moves that discovering them all via raw gameplay is not viable
Love me some consistency ❤
AFRO youre the best bro keep it up
Another upload yesss
I love matching up against folks who use the assisted moves, all those negative frames you’ll never get far
I'm enjoying this series
And GET OFF SPECIALTY MODE
Haven't played a fighting game since mk11 but this really makes me wanna try tekken 8
I’m also new to tekken trying to learn (and stream a wee bit of the experience) but I would honestly try the combo challenges there pretty easy once you get a hang of the controls
As a King main here’s a VERY good tip, learn the moves that out range grabs. It pisses us off😂
As a yoshimitsu main I can confirm. Up back + 1 2 is a kings worst nightmare
If I lose too many I stop. When I rank up I take a break. I’m not about to tilt myself from playing nonstop
There are other air combos, it's not just triangle all the way you can triangle then press square, x, or circle multiple times and I'm happy you got a win with my boi Dragunov. He's killer. Arcade quest and replay are also great to teach it's not just practice because they're interactive and more fun.
Blocking and space control are your foundation. The number one thing you should be looking to do is to punish during your opponent's recovery frames. Block, watch for the recovery, punish. I just gave you the secret to every fighting game.
FAX
I stand corrected. Who knew the hidden gem was Afro screaming, "Leroy!" xD
Brother is rushing into things crazy fast
I am happy that you are getting consistent connections. Right now, I am not getting anymore than 2 bars.
Best way to block is to not move back or anything because when you do you get a different attack
