One of the best videos i've seen this first month of the game. Everything super clear, explaining the important things. Very useful for someone like me who is starting to use Steve now after all these years
Tekken 8 is my first ever tekken, and my friends said i was nuts for picking steve as my first character. Thank you so much for this, this is a game changer for me ❤
Appreciate it my friend! Steve is definitely gonna be a challenging choice as a first character, but play at your own pace and you'll see how fun and unique he is
Steve is fun. He was one of my first characters too. Him and King. As soon as I hit the kick button and he started bobbing and weaving, that was it for me. I was sold lol.
Oh yeah! When you bob and weave through your opponent's attacks and counter with your own, you're gonna feel like a proper badass and the feeling is just 👌
Oh my god the timing of this upload couldn't be any better. I've hit a plateau with Steve and was having a hard time figuring out what to do, and this video pretty much answered my questions and showed me the way. Thanks so much for this guide! Also very nice jazz music selection.
Very well made video. Great pacing, just enough facts without overloading the viewers, super chill music, and one of the best indepth guides ive seen yet. Thank you for making this!
Tekken 8 has been out for almost ten months now, but I’m finally on to Steve, character #4 for me so far. Steve is super tough to learn, but I feel it’s possible with these guides. Truly great work. There’s something satisfying beating down opponents who are flying and kicking with just your bare fists. Bobbing and weaving into counter hits is chef’s kiss.
You know a guide is good when you come back to it whenever you feel stuck. At purple ranks rn and i feel alot more comfortable than when I started but occasionally I do feel the need to come back to the basics and start from the ground up.
Ayy fr man, I’m in in purple ranks too w Steve. I get so stressed, when I lose matches, I always watch my replays then watch this again to see what my strengths and weaknesses are
The best guide I have seen! I really like how you actually showed examples and explained the basics, very helpful as I am just picking up Steve for the first time.
Thank you so much for this. This is the first tekken game that I’ve tried taking seriously and I hit a slump learning the game and Steve. My gameplay is getting stale, I’m not landing combos, etc. I wanted to try to learn the game by myself but I still eventually come back to guides, and I really appreciate this one. From the music to the easy explanations, I really appreciate it
Hey likewise, I very much appreciate the kind words brother. It's my first time doing these sorts of things out of the passion for the character and helping other people see how cool Steve is. These uplifting comments make me so happy. Cheers!
I just picked up steve 2 days ago and was a bit overwhelmed by all of his Stances he actually has but holy shit your videos are so Easy to understand and Replicate in Lab so i can get a deeper understanding of him. Still Struggling but atleast learning. Boy oh boy i never thought i would fall in Love with Steve :D Keep it up man and thanks for Sharing some Steve knowledge !
ive been playing tekken for a while now, and ive gotten quite far, i think (blue peak in 7), maybe im wrong. But, your video verbalized a lot of the concepts i was doing and trying to understand in my head on “instinct” and knowing better now how to think, the purposes of different things like movement, and the kind of tendencies to look out for really helped. thank you so much!
No doubt in my mind that this is the best overall guide I’ve ever seen. It was very useful , loved all the example. Not to mention the chill music . Sub!!
Excellent video I thought it was plenty educational. Though you might consider leaving your text boxes on screen just a little longer sometimes. I had to rewind to read them a few times. Very pleasant music choice too 🥰
this is my first tekken game and i immediately just gravitated towards steve but ive been struggling a bit. currently ranger so this helps a lot man thanks
Gotta treasure these early T8 Steve guides. I rotate between Reina and Steve and the amount of learning resources Reina has compared to our CH paragon is huge
Just what I needed Kept spamming b1 hoping for counters and not realizing instead of meshing randomly for b1 and flk b2 play the pressure counter game with reads and patience using all of Steve’s tool and Tekken fundamentals. Great video chief🫡
Thank you so much for this guide, have started to struggle ALOT in tenryu and going up against rulers, i just picked up steve for the first time and just started playing in late into Tekken 7 so I started to be completely lost versus people who know Steve and just guard and duck everything.
Thanks for the guide man. I played a Steve mirror match with you in Tekken 7 player match and I'm glad you're doing a guide for us Steve mains. I've been playing Steve defensively so the gameplan tutorials will help me a lot especially with the new heat system.
i really like the hard work on this video amazing video also lovely jazz, i just wanna correct two things in this video 1_ FLK 1 F 1 on block it's -5 not -0 11:08 2_ 11:37 when feng he do DF1 on block its -0 and B4 its 12frame so you cant interrupt him with B1. sorry for the long comment
Yes my thoughts on these as well. I realized my mistakes as I was rewatching it but by this time it was already too late I didn't catch them while I was editing 😅
Amazing guide. I main Reina and yse Raven as a secondary. Picked up steve today and he is a blast. This guide gave me more tools to my arsenal. Thank you very much!!
@@soulxcv I've always enjoyed playing Steve, but was never that good with him. I switched my style up and now I win a good amount with him. I used your advice and now I'm winning more consistently. Had no idea his peekaboo stance was so oppressive. It really frustrates people and they make mistakes. I can't thank you enough.
Steve is my bread n' butter as I have more than 5 years of experience with him, but I have played a few other characters in the roster. Lidia, Feng and Leo were my other characters but I am not as well versed with them. Although I will study the other characters further and try to make one!
This video alone earned you a sub from me. Ive been playing Steve since T4 and have only gotten worse with him as time has gone by. Right now im stuck in Red Ranks and cant seem to move the needle. This will really help me. I will be referencing it often. Thank you.
this is my first tekken game and ive picked dup steve since day 1. its been rough but this vid helped clean up a lot of my offense and pressure. thanks :))
Yo one of the best guide so far since the game launched. Good job, i also main steve hardstuck in yellow rank. Its a useful guide for a player like me, even general.
Wow love the in-depth explanations on exactly what Steve's best tools are in certain scenarios. The smooth jazz is nice a touch. Also @ 10:02 is that a Mayor Cody skin?
@@soulxcv it is always good to give positive feedback when it's well deserved. I know the amount of work it needs to produce this type of video and the impact of kind words have on content creator!
I been playing Tekken for a while and Steve is my main. But, I admit, I have a tendency to start every match with B1, because it's quick. However...pretty predictable, so this was very helpful on mixing things up a bit
Good to hear friend! Two other good round start options are ub3 and PKB uf2. The latter instantly crushes highs and lows and is good against players who love jabbing at round start. Cheers!
I feel your pain man with that Nina fight, happened so many times with me in Tekken 8. But I’m glad to finally be learning Steve from your vid and hopefully preventing those comebacks from happening XD
also be okay with losing a lot with steve against others characters, its how you learn, you can play aggressive if you're confident or be patient and know when you start doing your strings. i remember being so angry and pissed but then i realized the ranking and prowess isn't real and at the end of the day im just trying to have fun and be better with my character. if you slow down, you'll notice what you can do and can't do against your opponent. otherwise great guide my dude
100% this friend, I was also like this with my Steve a few years back and I keep thinking everyday if I should switch mains. He needs you to play good, not the other way around where he carries you.
Thank you bro! I'm happy with the Gatling changes too, as much as I love execution, I swear I'm gonna develop Carpal Tunnel Syndrome everytime I do my wall combo 🤣
@@xviinaichi3793 Yes it's generally his keepout stance beause of FLK2 and FLKb2. But for me, I use it as a supplementary stance for when I am forced to go into it, like b1>B into flicker pressure or qcf1b into flicker pressure.
@@soulxcv and also another question if u don’t mind answering I understand that PKB is his offense stance but at what times should I enter peakaboo simply to continue poking pressure or when I get a clean 121 ?
My mate and me play quite a bit. When I go into peekabo he just down jabs me out of it. Literally crushes the offence. How can I optimise peekabo that I cant be put out of it?
If he gets to downjab upon your entry into the stance, then it means you transitioned from a move on block. Like 121f on block leaves you at -3 so you have to respect their fast moves. You can start your offense when you transition on hit. As for when they downjab you in the middle of your PKB offense, then try to get a read on when they like to do it, and ↙️stance cancel and↘️ low parry them. Condition them not to interrupt your strings with downjab and find another solution.
I only learned of it recently as well! I fought a Steve player online that did it, but I don't have the footage anymore and forgot the name so I couldn't credit them properly for it.
I'm a complete beginner for tekken 8, first tekken game, and i love boxing so of course i had to choose Steve. Any chance you could do a beginners quick guide? Like just a couple BnB's in mid screen + wall? That combined with this would help a ton for new players. Looking forward to more videos! EDIT: Sorry I see the quick start guide video, watching now!
Amazing video. Could you please add the notation for the inputs on the frame traps section? I’m new to Steve and I know some of the moves but not all of them so it’s a bit hard to find what moves you are using :)
Say no more fam! B1: 1. ws 1 2 (on hit) > B1 2. 22 (on hit) > B1 (trades with jabs but you have a full launch) 3. wr2 (on block) > B1 4. Jab (on hit) > B1 *note that you can also try this on block since you are +1 but not many players press after blocking a jab 5. df1 (on hit) > B1 *lil tricky to confirm 6. FLK 1f1 (on hit) > B1 Not B1: 7. qcf1B (on block) > FLK2 (will lose to instant buttons. You have to condition with FLK jabs first and read that they will hesitate) 8. b1B (on block) > FLK2 (will lose to instant buttons. You have to condition with FLK jabs first and read that they will hesitate) 9. PKB 12 (on hit or block) > PKB2 10. PKB 12 (on hit or block) > 1 [finish the string] (highly delayable string that has a mixup and mindgame potential with #9) 11. df1 > f3 (on hit or block) > DCKf2 12. ws 11 > f3 (on hit or block) > DCKf2 13. 21F (on hit or block) > PKB2 14. 21B (on hit or block) > FLK2 Not on the video but useable: 15. ub2B (on block) > B1 (for me this is quite risky as ub2 is a high, and if you get it to hit, it is better to get the free follow-up rather than press a B1 that will whiff. It is hard to confirm hit or block during a real match) 16. PKB f2 1 (on block) > B1 (don't try this past a certain rank, you're gonna get rekt for it. But if you do it and it works, go ahead and spam it!)
Yes i realized I left that out; honestly it has never worked for me yet because I find that the timeframe for confirming the block into B1 frame trap as to hit into free follow-up is so tight, that you have to premeditate what you wanna do instead of hit/block confirming.
sometimes whenever im playing steve somehow like, the movesets change, the jab gets replaced with a jump punch and the dodges are just replaced with low attacks \
B1: 1. ws 1 2 (on hit) > B1 2. 22 (on hit) > B1 (trades with jabs but you have a full launch) 3. wr2 (on block) > B1 4. Jab (on hit) > B1 *note that you can also try this on block since you are +1 but not many players press after blocking a jab 5. df1 (on hit) > B1 *lil tricky to confirm 6.

You have to condition with FLK jabs first and read that they will hesitate) 9. PKB 12 (on hit or block) > PKB2 10.

But if you do it and it works, go ahead and spam it!)
@@soulxcv thank you so much. I tried Steve today and actually didnt expect to have so much fun NOT launching someone and feeling like I was playing a lot of "small Tekken". ub2B is +3 oB I couldn't find too many +oB moves with Steve and just guessed as long as I'm +3 b1 is a viable threat 😅 but yeah if I see and can catch that it was oB I try to save myself by doing LHT1 thanks for another great guide
Am I crazy or are the people looking for guides mostly new people, therefore it’d be really helpful to understand ANY of this notation, like even just a little flash of text in the corner. I have no idea what B1 or DF2 is. I play like 4 other fighting games, so this is obviously Tekken specific. Obviously I’m just gonna suck it up and learn it rq, it’s really a non-issue but I feel like the extra information on the spot could be really nice.
Thank you for the feedback. This is my first time doing these kinds of videos and honestly I have no clue on who is watching my stuff. I'm actually surprised that this HAD views at all. I will do better next time and add more notations for newer players. Cheers!
One of the best videos i've seen this first month of the game. Everything super clear, explaining the important things. Very useful for someone like me who is starting to use Steve now after all these years
Appreciate your kind words friend!

Now THIS is a guide. Gameplan, important strings, and visual examples. All killer No filler. Doing the lords work out here. We appreciate it 🙌

Omg i cant thank you enough for this as a visual learner the examples, the clarity and depth you go into Steve is exactly i was looking for.
Can’t tell you enough how much your Steve tutorials helped me improve. Thank you! Peace.
Appreciate the kind words friend!
Another frame traps:
d2,1,2 or 3+4,2 on block into backsway 2(high risk high reward)
pkb df1,2 on block into parry
Ayyy I love these. Thanks fellow guvgang

this is my first tekken game and i immediately just gravitated towards steve but ive been struggling a bit. currently ranger so this helps a lot man thanks
I been waiting for this video cuz everyone else’s assumes you’ve played steve in tekken or just tekken in general
Gotta treasure these early T8 Steve guides. I rotate between Reina and Steve and the amount of learning resources Reina has compared to our CH paragon is huge
Just what I needed
Kept spamming b1 hoping for counters and not realizing instead of meshing randomly for b1 and flk b2 play the pressure counter game with reads and patience using all of Steve’s tool and Tekken fundamentals. Great video chief🫡
Glad to hear that fam!
Thank you so much for this guide, have started to struggle ALOT in tenryu and going up against rulers, i just picked up steve for the first time and just started playing in late into Tekken 7 so I started to be completely lost versus people who know Steve and just guard and duck everything.
Thanks for the guide man. I played a Steve mirror match with you in Tekken 7 player match and I'm glad you're doing a guide for us Steve mains. I've been playing Steve defensively so the gameplan tutorials will help me a lot especially with the new heat system.
GGs brother, would love to play again. I bet I'd learn a lot from you 😀
Omg I struggle with the back 1 and possible frame traps. I think I understand it better now. Thanks a lot
i really like the hard work on this video amazing video also lovely jazz, i just wanna correct two things in this video
1_ FLK 1 F 1 on block it's -5 not -0 11:08
2_ 11:37 when feng he do DF1 on block its -0 and B4 its 12frame so you cant interrupt him with B1.

Thank you so much i started hitting a wall at garyu and couldn't get farther from how I was playing
I feel your pain man with that Nina fight, happened so many times with me in Tekken 8. But I’m glad to finally be learning Steve from your vid and hopefully preventing those comebacks from happening XD
Yeah but on the flip side, that was one hella fine comeback she did!
The only thing missing in this otherwise perfect guide is notation for the frame traps section, otherwise it is flawless and thank you for it.
This is duly noted, friend. The next time I make a guide I will make it a point to add notation where I can
also be okay with losing a lot with steve against others characters, its how you learn, you can play aggressive if you're confident or be patient and know when you start doing your strings.
i remember being so angry and pissed but then i realized the ranking and prowess isn't real and at the end of the day im just trying to have fun and be better with my character.

EDIT: Sorry I see the quick start guide video, watching now!
There's one frame trap you missed. If you do ub2b on block into b1, it trades with jabs for counterhit launcher
Unfortunately (for the tekken community) this is probably the single best tekken guide ever created. Too bad I don't play Steve lol.
Thank you for the kind words friend 👊

This guide is amazing thanks
Great guide man, thank you
You're welcome!

03:00 man i have no idea how you did that, i wish you showed your input history, i had to duck twice to get the same f2
When you df1 press df3 again or f3. You can do it really really early. Then f2 the moment Steve ducks in
@@soulxcv i was trying it agains jab punish, but i see that it doesnt work against jab
Amazing video. Could you please add the notation for the inputs on the frame traps section? I’m new to Steve and I know some of the moves but not all of them so it’s a bit hard to find what moves you are using :)
Say no more fam!
B1:
1. ws 1 2 (on hit) > B1
2. 22 (on hit) > B1 (trades with jabs but you have a full launch)
3. wr2 (on block) > B1
4. Jab (on hit) > B1 *note that you can also try this on block since you are +1 but not many players press after blocking a jab
5. df1 (on hit) > B1 *lil tricky to confirm
6. FLK 1f1 (on hit) > B1
Not B1:
7. qcf1B (on block) > FLK2 (will lose to instant buttons. You have to condition with FLK jabs first and read that they will hesitate)
8. b1B (on block) > FLK2 (will lose to instant buttons. You have to condition with FLK jabs first and read that they will hesitate)
9. PKB 12 (on hit or block) > PKB2
10. PKB 12 (on hit or block) > 1 [finish the string] (highly delayable string that has a mixup and mindgame potential with #9)
11. df1 > f3 (on hit or block) > DCKf2
12. ws 11 > f3 (on hit or block) > DCKf2
13. 21F (on hit or block) > PKB2
14. 21B (on hit or block) > FLK2
Not on the video but useable:
15. ub2B (on block) > B1 (for me this is quite risky as ub2 is a high, and if you get it to hit, it is better to get the free follow-up rather than press a B1 that will whiff. It is hard to confirm hit or block during a real match)
16. PKB f2 1 (on block) > B1 (don't try this past a certain rank, you're gonna get rekt for it. But if you do it and it works, go ahead and spam it!)
Excelente video, It helps me alot
There is also a frametrap with ub2 into b1
Yes i realized I left that out; honestly it has never worked for me yet because I find that the timeframe for confirming the block into B1 frame trap as to hit into free follow-up is so tight, that you have to premeditate what you wanna do instead of hit/block confirming.
sometimes whenever im playing steve somehow like, the movesets change, the jab gets replaced with a jump punch
and the dodges are just replaced with low attacks
\
It could be that you're already in a stance before deciding to do another move, making you do the stance move. 🤔
Steve has really fast transitions
New to Steve. I don't know all of the inputs yet by sight for the frame trap section...
B1:
1. ws 1 2 (on hit) > B1
2. 22 (on hit) > B1 (trades with jabs but you have a full launch)

6. FLK 1f1 (on hit) > B1
Not B1:
7. qcf1B (on block) > FLK2 (will lose to instant buttons. You have to condition with FLK jabs first and read that they will hesitate)
8. b1B (on block) > FLK2 (will lose to instant buttons. You have to condition with FLK jabs first and read that they will hesitate)
9. PKB 12 (on hit or block) > PKB2
10. PKB 12 (on hit or block) > 1 [finish the string] (highly delayable string that has a mixup and mindgame potential with #9)
11. df1 > f3 (on hit or block) > DCKf2
12. ws 11 > f3 (on hit or block) > DCKf2
13. 21F (on hit or block) > PKB2

@@soulxcv thank you so much. I tried Steve today and actually didnt expect to have so much fun NOT launching someone and feeling like I was playing a lot of "small Tekken".
ub2B is +3 oB I couldn't find too many +oB moves with Steve and just guessed as long as I'm +3 b1 is a viable threat 😅
but yeah if I see and can catch that it was oB I try to save myself by doing LHT1
thanks for another great guide
I've played you on my Steve a few times in ranked. I got whooped. Appreciate the videoa
I probably got lucky, ggs fam!
man i wish there's a guide like this for jim or devil jim
Thanks mate! Momodog is a great teacher for Diablo Jimmy
Clean bro
7:03 IS THAT HITLER???
Yes 💀
Am I crazy or are the people looking for guides mostly new people, therefore it’d be really helpful to understand ANY of this notation, like even just a little flash of text in the corner. I have no idea what B1 or DF2 is. I play like 4 other fighting games, so this is obviously Tekken specific. Obviously I’m just gonna suck it up and learn it rq, it’s really a non-issue but I feel like the extra information on the spot could be really nice.
Thank you for the feedback. This is my first time doing these kinds of videos and honestly I have no clue on who is watching my stuff. I'm actually surprised that this HAD views at all.
I will do better next time and add more notations for newer players.
Cheers!
thank you so much my friend
Always welcome!
