Except you can eat a launcher instead of the low, which you didn't talk about. Both aren't reactable, it's just a guess so no solution there... That's why I hate her, they abuse that shit and you don't talk about it.
Here are some important notes to add to what this nice guide has taught us: Her df1 and df1,4 are strong fast mid pokes. They're some of her best moves. You can sidestep left duck to beat them, and all three of the extensions she has from there can be beaten by a dickjab. High level players are currently abusing f4,4~3 to establish it as a threat. As soon as you respect it, they can safely use f4,4. You cannot let them have f4,4 for free because that becomes a safe mid homing heat engager that is available from running. It nullifies all of your movement. Some characters have an option select to handle the 3/4 ender, check if you do. F3 into stance does not get a free 10f punish. She can finish f3,2 into a free otg for a chunk of damage, and if she goes into stance and does nothing your jab will get automatically parried. On block, f3 is actually a mix-up between doing nothing (hit her mid) and powercrush (jab/duck-launch). Watch her d4 and what she does afterwards. Although it's -2 on hit, it has enough pushback that trying to take your turn with a fast move can cause you to whiff. Watch what she does after d4 and adapt accordingly. If you get scared to press there then she has a free low poke that tracks both sides up close.
Thanks for the video, I'm an Azucena player who watched this to learn what knowledge checks I should be doing to people :) Didn't know she had a parry in backturn until watching this
@@xiSyndoxExactly why I watched! You're great at explaining when to expect certain moves. Covering why both the defender and attacker have as options is super useful too. Keep it up!
Be careful dashing in after blocking db3, because Azucena also has an extension - she can do db3,4 which will launch you if you try to immediately dash in on block. But this extension is a high and -13 on block, just so you know.
Ur guides r helping me immensely specially the hwoarang & alisa m.u & as a jin main & my 1st tekken i cannot thank u more, pls zafina, leo & paul next 🙏
That WR3,2 coutner only really works against Azu players predictably using it at full range. When they're doing iWR in front of you it gets significantly harder to deal with
This. I'm emperor and the azucenas around this rank can do instsnt running 3,2s. Especially when you're bear the wall. At full screen, you sidewalk it right instead of left.
This is gold. One my friends always abuses wr 3,2. I saw in training that you can sidewalk left to dodge it, but in game I always get hit by the high, so I just stopped trying and just took the minus frames and hope for the best. Now I now better. You earned a new sub
2:31 "So if you block it and you launch it, she cannot do anything about it" This is false. The move is -7 on block. It takes 6 frames to turn around if you hold forward. If she does that, your i14 ws2 will get blocked. Also she has a parry from BT with b+1+2. I just tested both of those options and Jin's ws2 doesn't connect against either.
I like your videos so far and hope to see more of these guides, but make sure to slow it down a bit as you seem to make 1 to 2 mistakes each video. They're small things, the concise style is nice but I think it'd help to clean it up a bit.
Just discovered this channel man, you're doing great work. If you somehow manage to make an anti guide for every character it would be such a great resource for a lot of people including myself!
Funny how it took an anti azu guide for me to learn about 1+2 at round start. Hopefully this guide won’t stop me going to red rank😂 Thank you for the guide you’re doing fantastic.
Also, her Libertador transitions (except fF3+4) have extentions, so you might get punished if you press buttons to try and catch the cancel into stance. Just another layer of gameplan to think about.
I got rekt by 2 Azucena's yesterday that kept using 2 kick moves that weren't covered here. One of them is a low that seems to crush even mids and keeps her on the ground. The other is a jumping jack/cartwheel that is super fast and crumples you Edit: that second one is actually covered, it's FF3+4 into Libertador. But you didn't actually mention how to counter
I always get messed up by her auto high / low parry once she's in library stance. And everyone just says use mids, so I do and Idk what I get punished with, id have to look at a replay. Im a yellow player, so I dont have the reaction (yet) to remember all that. Not to mention, I play one azucena for every jun + lili + and king + etc.
The only way you can duck these is because you know the cpu is about b to thrown them out. In a real match, these would come out way too fast to react to.
I have ducked countless of WR3,2s and other strings in game. Its all about noticing the opponents patterns and playing off it. Im not 100% reacting to them, I’m just making educated guesses and ducking when I expect the move to come out.
No offense, but some of these simple answers are not as simple as we think. Especially large characters, they can't step alotta moves and have to find harder responses. Big tip for wr3,2 if you feel it coming or make a hard read on it. You can just jab her, but risk getting hit or various other outcomes when your opponent sees you doing it. Theres alotta strings with mid enders in t8, too, which is weird. This video does highlight key moves, though, and gives some useful tips. 🙂
Whats the best way to re-create a scenario that happend in a match.. in the lab? The setting up the moves is fine.. but sometimes they link certain moves together that you cant really do in Lab. Is this where the record function comes in? I wish you could review your matches and then cut out snippets to play over in the lab.
Replay takeover is exactly what you want. Go visit your replays, skip to the scenario you want to lab, and press the replay takeover function. You will be given 10 seconds to do whatever you want in that specific scenario.
If you do everyone, you are a legend. A lot of people dont know how important it is to know the matchup and these videos help me so much.
I will try my best, thank you!
This is helping me as an azucena player I learned a couple things haha
“ if you block the low, it’s minus 31. So you can watch an entire movie come back & she’s still minus” LMFAO 🤣 that was FUNNY! Another GREAT video!
Thank you!
Except you can eat a launcher instead of the low, which you didn't talk about.
Both aren't reactable, it's just a guess so no solution there... That's why I hate her, they abuse that shit and you don't talk about it.
For U4/B3, you’re sidewalking right, not left
My bad, looks like the move is sidewalkable both sides then
Thats actually worse cuz she flies across the screen and u dont get a punish
@@Whitesoul-.20that’s only for her while running move, not the next moves mentioned in the vid.
@@0kills oh my bad I somehow read WR 😅
@@Whitesoul-.20that’s her wr move. You have been dreaming about flying too much lil man.

If you do a "HOW TO DEMOLISH ANY KING" you should mention that in T8 you can break his chain throws by holding a button instead of mashing it.
wait...seriously? :O
@@TzeeenshYes. I was shocked as well when I found it out in practice mode.
Lmao and here I was mashing like crazy😂
I mentioned it, also King DONE ✅
Omg for real? Thank you for this cosmic knowledge
Thanks for the video, I'm an Azucena player who watched this to learn what knowledge checks I should be doing to people :) Didn't know she had a parry in backturn until watching this
I'm glad that both sides can learn
@@xiSyndoxExactly why I watched! You're great at explaining when to expect certain moves. Covering why both the defender and attacker have as options is super useful too. Keep it up!
Keep making more anti videos. Your concise way of analyzing and breaking down how to punish videos are amazing. I subscribed to u.
highkey. this series is super helpful

Very unbalanced character
Bro. Your videos are PERFECT. Straight to the point. Fast and very informative. Keep the good work! I will post and like all vids.
Thank you man, I appreciate it!
bro deserves all the attention he's getting. with how you're doing the newest characters first I'm assuming reina is most likely next, cant wait.
2:31 "So if you block it and you launch it, she cannot do anything about it"
This is false. The move is -7 on block. It takes 6 frames to turn around if you hold forward. If she does that, your i14 ws2 will get blocked. Also she has a parry from BT with b+1+2. I just tested both of those options and Jin's ws2 doesn't connect against either.
Thanks g.o.a.t.
Made my lab homework a bit less
I appreciate you
She'll be able to block a launcher after d/b3.
In T8 you can block in 7 frames from backturned. Since d/b 3 is -7 she can block moves i14 and slower.
You literally make Tekken 8 a more pleasant experience, thanks bro, subscribed!
Thats great to hear, thank you!
These are awesome, and just the right length of time. Since a lot of material for King exists already, I'd like to request Dragunov or Jun.
I love these I need on for Law. I'm tired of them nunchucks.
I like your videos so far and hope to see more of these guides, but make sure to slow it down a bit as you seem to make 1 to 2 mistakes each video. They're small things, the concise style is nice but I think it'd help to clean it up a bit.
These vids are great! Hoping you do everyone. Easy to digest and learn matchups! Keep it up!
Thats the goal
Need the jun video, bigman
Thank u for these helpful vids, i hope in the future u dedicate some time to make full guide video about any character u choose.
Just discovered this channel man, you're doing great work. If you somehow manage to make an anti guide for every character it would be such a great resource for a lot of people including myself!
Thats the goal
man, i needed you way back in t7
great guide
Glad I could help!
Funny how it took an anti azu guide for me to learn about 1+2 at round start. Hopefully this guide won’t stop me going to red rank😂 Thank you for the guide you’re doing fantastic.
Thank you
Just to clarify, for U4/B3 you said side walk left yet youre showing side walk right? Some other comments may have already pointed this out though.
Also, her Libertador transitions (except fF3+4) have extentions, so you might get punished if you press buttons to try and catch the cancel into stance.
Just another layer of gameplan to think about.
Short and very informative, helps!
These guides are so good. Keep it up man.
More to come!
This helped me a lot. I ranked up cuz of it. Cuz I fought her 3 times in a row in purple ranks lol.
Im glad my videos are helping!
The hero we need, but not deserve. This man is gonna single-handedly propel half the players to purple rank
Thanks for the tips syndox 👍
Anytime!
Please do Xiaoyu my man, this character is a cute nightmare. Grear videos, keep it up bro!
Another banger of a video, keep up the amazing work man.
Will do
I love this channel. Sweet and short. 👏👏👏
A;ways the goal, Thanks!

Please keep this up for all the characters. King next
King DONE ✅
@@xiSyndox Thank you so much. I need that against that broken character!!
This is mega nice more of this please! How do we counter Steve?
This is so helpful man! Thank you so much
You are most welcome!

1:08 my man that's a side walk right you just did there
thanks for the guide but I know I would still get destroyed by aazucena players :( Her options are insane
Great work on the video!!!
Anti Law guid next, please!
Attempting to duck LIB d4,4 is hella dangerous, as she can hit you with LIB 1+2, which is a mid launcher
Will stand by for the panda vids 👍
subbed for that. hope you do more. How about most play. Drag or Reina?
waiting for demolish all King video. thx in advance
King DONE ✅
Just for this u got a sub
Great video, matchup knowledge is bassicly homework and you are making it easier. Get Alisa out asap :D
Alisa is OUT
The king returns
Need more of these bro. Jun or Leo next pls

It's so hard to ssl that WR 3,2. You just have to guess when it's coming. I couldn't react to audio queue either...
You're suppose to sidewalk it right, you avoid the move entirely
@@dredvaxah okay, hes wrong in the vid. Thank you. I'll try that
thanks man!
Very nice videos! Keep it up! 😊
Thank you! Will do!
Please do Jun next for the love of god this character is a literal raid boss.
appreciated!!, maybe consider raina next?
