I'm honestly shocked at how fast you got to higher ranks. I've played Tekken my entire life but just 2 weeks ago I bought T7 and it was my first ever experience against human beings. It's a weird feeling, because I got to know how little I knew about this game, all my life defeating just bots.
i've played tekken 5 since my childhood and i could routinely perfect the bot. Then after years I finally make friends who are into fighting games, i put tekken 5 on a ps2 emulator thinking imma whoop their mashing ass nah, all of em destroy me cause they just mash random moves and I'll be trying to block but obviously they're not using the same strings as the ai so i get surprised and punished for being patient. Turns out I only learned how to play against the ai's programming and real people will, in fact, not get hit by random super moves, the 10hit combos and devil jin's flight laser xD Realized i know jack shit about how to actually play the game fast forward to few days ago, a friend (complete noob for fighting games in general) buys tekken 7, asks to play on steam couchplay. Meanwhile I've played DB Fighterz since release, have way over 1000 hours on it and one of my friends even ranked high at EVO for the game and I beat him sometimes. I think "ah well now with my understanding of fighting game fundamentals and all I'll surely whoop ass in tekken" >play >pick characters i knew from tekken 5 so i can be familiar with moves AND apply my new knowledge >lose 13-4 this game is really not for me it seems xD
@@blazejecar cool story bro...lol j/k. I get it though. I thought I was hot stuff in Capcom vs SNK 2 and Street Fighter 4, then my friends showed me that I'm just used to programs and not real people 😐
Same, I was playing Tekken 6 ang Tekken Tag 2 for years against bot and when I finally bought and played Tekken 7 I realized how much of I noob I was at the game😅
I like how because you're Australian and I'm Australian I recognised the majority of the players you played against in this video. We must have been ranking up through these ranks at around the same time. Because I played a lot against delet in yellow and then noob in orange and red. Love the channel mate subscribed
yeah his combo game is insane tbh, took me till mentor rank to get 50+ dmg combos and now have perfect optimisation on combos at warrior rank now.. just learning to low parry and having a lot of success (2 - 3 per match) vs any rank i play
Excellent! I'm a bit late to the party, but nice video. Pretty accurate description of how each color feels, though it varies quite a bit depending on how cheesy your character is. It's harder to get through the lower levels with a super honest, fundamentals-focused character (i.e. Kazumi, Lili, Shaheen) but it speeds up the intermediate process because you have to learn faster. I swear there is no more iconic duo in Tekken than low ranks and free Jins. I've fought so many myself.
It's been 4 years and I still come back to this video often to remind myself what it's like to learn a FG for the first time again - really puts my perspective right
@@MassiveZug yeah, it was crazy when you said it took you 30 wins per colour, whereas in my case I played casual offline tekken for years before taking it seriously so it took me about 150 wins to get to green, then 100-150 for every colour after that currently lodged in red and practicing 3d tekken funny thing to add on to the end here, I actually learned to play tekken the same way you did when I started taking it seriously and every rank description matched my experience, including leo's who don't let me rank up
We need more players like you in the community! i wish i could play some matches with you (im a raijin scrub and an defensive alisa player) but im from europe so it wouldn't more than a one bar match sadly, oh well anyways keep up the good work im finna sub you got in my recommended :]
@@StarShadow9009 Lol not yet. But everyday I'm nailing those electrics more consistently. I find the execution barrier extremely satisfying, though. Never change Tekken.
Just stumbled upon your channel. According to your intro we have a real similar background in fighting games! I've played a bit of SFV but have watched a lot of Tekken recently and am interested in starting. Just downloaded it. You make great videos!
u r funny. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it very much because I have gone through the agony of losing desperately in Tekken inch by inch. It took me years to get to Ryujin. I've gone around the longest path while some people get good pretty quick.
can't step electric with most characters, you need to walk it. But it's difficult so I wouldn't recommend it. Also yeah recording your matches and watching them and labbing what you don't understand is the most time efficient way of getting better, good job figuring that one. Every exceptional player I've ever known has been able to play all or almost all characters proficiently, so I stole that strat when t7 came out, learned every character and now I'm without a doubt a better player than ever before. MAYBE ITS A COINCIDENCE, but what if it's not? gl
Hey, you played with the same character that I played when I started Tekken for the first time. That's pretty cool. Yesterday, was the very first day I've ever played a Tekken game and that was the first character I'd picked against my cousin and I'd won 4 consecutive times with him.
Luv your videos mate. Keep it up! Easy to digest for begginers and your other videos do cover up the fundamentals that begginers should be focusing on. My cousins and friends are tryna get the hang of tekken an a recommend your videos 10 out of 10!!
I started with Lili, and when i did hit my 120+ something wins i was still in blue ranks xD Than i switched to Elize and get in yellow ranks in two days easy with glade abuse. Getting in higher ranks showed me how important is to know fundamentals, because most of people in here was beating me up with them. Its really hard to see how important is fundamentals, when blue and green ranks just mixing you up and torturing you with tons of snake edges)
Hi. Just discovered your channel and it's really great, thanks for your guides, they are amazing. You mentioned you got to Tekken after dropping sf5. I have a similar situation, I quit after sf5, but I want to try Tekken. I played marvel and guilty gear, but 3D is a whole new world for me. Do you have any specific advices for transitioning from 2D to 3D?
I played continuously for a week, and dedicated my time towards this game and I got to orange rank destroyer with Steve fox. Three things I couldn't figure out was character knowledge, punishment and how to poke. But I think with character knowledge and punishing it takes time.
did you just start off by getting a stick set up, or did you already have one from other fighting games? if you have experience playing with, say a ps4 controller (what i use) - what's your two cents on the stick / gamepad vs controller?
Yeah, I could probably be a lot better if I would use the lab more often. But it's not really fun, it's hard work. Also, if you learn the top 15 moves of each character and there are 50 characters now I believe, that will make 675 moves to learn...
literally just picked up this game (first fighting game ever), started learning kat, and then saw your one button spoof ad in the middle and about died xD (sorry, old vid comment I know)
About 800 wins, Feng main, keep fluctuating between Brawler to Warrior. Occasionally a Dragunov or King drops my ass back to grandmaster. Its been two weeks of this suffering. Send help.
im actually that leo in the video my friend showed me this today and i had no idea i was in it this was so long ago, i was still learning tekken at the time
It's all about the character. Example, King i usually mash 1 when he's close because they like to buffer giant swing. And when we are not close i mash 1+2 because they will use the running grab. Law, Bob, Marduk, Lee in stages with floor break, Leo when she has back at wall, Fahkumram and Kazumi when we have our back at wall, etc. All these dangerous throws break with 1+2 so I'm always alert to it. Way better just eat a normal throw than one of these that will kill.
Bro I've been playing for a year and Im stuck between green and blue. My fault tho really I only lab my combos so I need to start labbing my fundamentals and then character matches

your early game stats are kind of incredible lol

Sidewalk works better for me against Mishima. Just throwing it out there.
I love Tekken, but I’m still stuck at the starting line with movement. And throw breaking? Forget it!
It's all about the character.
Example, King i usually mash 1 when he's close because they like to buffer giant swing. And when we are not close i mash 1+2 because they will use the running grab.
