Nobody does Steve guides like you do, appreciate it. This has been the single most important channel for leveling up my Steve gameplay. Everything, is clear, quick, and concise, not overly convoluted and unorganized.
how is this steve-less lil bro, they're just fixing and buffing exactly what should have been in the first place. LH was just much more risk and than rewards at times and he lacked better punish than most chars.
As a purely mixup tool, I think LH is VERY strong now. It cannot be beaten by power crush anymore. They have to respect the mix (on hit) or get blown up
You can use it as it is how you would in T7: a chunky advancing 16f mid to deter your opponents from crouching your B1 a lot. Truth be told I haven't been using it a lot too in T8. Rocket launcher has better properties in all ways possible, and flk2 is my delayed mid CH button now.
I could but honestly there are so many changes coming in this early in the game, so combos are useable for maybe a few months before becoming obsolete. Also tbh I suck at combo routes, and my in my vids I recycle the same 2-3 routes in all scenarios 🤣
It’s true that it will leave you at -9 but you have two parry options after if you have a good read of the opponent. Such as b+3, 2 or 1. If they decide to use a high
These QoL buffs are so welcomed, I feel like the new LNH cancels indirectly buffs B1, DF2, B2 for more setup options; maybe even baiting into manual LNH 2! Though 16f FC DF2 feels so criminal and unreal, but I'll absolutely take the fast launcher change haha; I bet with great spacing it'll be really nice against whiffed mids too!
For sure! I'm gonna be spamming the fcdf2 a lot more now, the added speed is gonna help with whiffs, and Steve is mostly in crouch anyway due to duck-ins
I said in the previous vid that I was truly praying for LH 1 to be a counter hit launch, but maybe that’s too greedy, and then as a heat engaged idk how that would work. But we eating fellow boxers. I can’t wait to see the new techs/combos to spend months practicing them instead of ranked😩
@@soulxcv lol payment for all the awesome videos! They helped me a ton when I initially wanted to play Steve and I've watched basically every single one. Awesome stuff
@@ranges787 It just feels unatural to not be able to block on Flicker Stance, and a perfect cancel ( meaning you'll be safe no matter what after ) is not that easy to do
@@PheenieWright what is easy to do with this dude haha that’s what i mean. it’s good that there is something that show the difference in skill level. and i find it funny that people want b1 with no cancel and at the same time want shiro combo back which is 1 billion times harder haha look what his max dmg staple needs a blue spark arkward timed move and a f3 into instant ws1 cancel … this shit is 10 times harder than perfect b1 cancel
They will give him every buff but not a single stand launcher lol .. Its heartbreaking when your opponent is vulnerable and you can't launch him straight 😭
tbh prob not the window is super tiny and if you drop it you could end up with a miss input or be too slow ending in -12 and nearly zero dmg not worth it online imo. stick to the gattling or drop the flex but nobody will care haha
Steve is now amazing. He has 16f punisher from crouch! Except.....his b2 still doesnt launch like it used to💔 He still sucks at punishing while standing.
you forgot to mention that fc df2 is now his best whiff punish. if the hitbox is extended it has solid range and can be performed instantly from standing if you manual flk into crouch cancel. i labbed yesterday and it’s actually better than df2 right now because nobody knows that this is -15 hahaha use it until it’s common knowledge
Hi Soul, been watching your vids and played lots of casual matches with my Steve, we had a few matched a while back when I had first started tekken ( in game name is TheLongman ) I would like to play some games with you again if you don’t mind, I would like to see how I fare against you again if you are ok with that 👍🏻
he got a super simple new combo route that deals the most dmg out of all the simple no micro dash combos you can do launcher uf 2 (example) into 311. b12b. f22. into ender it’s 66 dmg but after 312 ender lnh2 won’t connect it deals 1 dmg less than 311 micro dash df121 f22 what makes this combo good is that the travel distance isn’t so long so it’s a short ranged option.
Fix Steve white guy
AYY LMAO
"The biggest buff of all: the ability to block" LMAO vanilla steve was something for sure
"Steve is known for his safety"
* recklessly Ali shuffles in your face *

Thanks my friend! I try to organize all my points as best as I can in a notepad much like how PhiDX does, and then record clips in order off of those
You are carrying the Steve community
Thank you for your kind words!
Straight up
Thank you Soul. If we get CH df+2, Steve is likely S tier. We're eating good!
Us Steve mains are finally eating good
I feel like the changes make the character less Steve-like, but I fw them. The mindgames with the LNH transitions sound like fun.
how is this steve-less lil bro, they're just fixing and buffing exactly what should have been in the first place. LH was just much more risk and than rewards at times and he lacked better punish than most chars.
The freedom given by LH cancels is superb for sure
nice. this really adding massive depth in his game plan, now LH is not kinda useless anymore. welcome to TK8 steve
As a purely mixup tool, I think LH is VERY strong now. It cannot be beaten by power crush anymore. They have to respect the mix (on hit) or get blown up
Amazing new tools for us Steve players, gives more mix-up potential and more safety in certain scenarios 🥊💪
This is the definition of quality of life buffs. So good
thank you for summarize this patch for steve
Usually wouldn't say this but this shi got me in the crib leaping up and down with joy
Any tips to use CH df2 without the buff? I haven't use from thr begining of T8
You can use it as it is how you would in T7: a chunky advancing 16f mid to deter your opponents from crouching your B1 a lot. Truth be told I haven't been using it a lot too in T8. Rocket launcher has better properties in all ways possible, and flk2 is my delayed mid CH button now.
Hey thanks for video!
Can you confirm if df2 into sonic fang is now possible?
Can't seem to get it.
Okay nevermind, can confirm it does work but execution window tight as hell
@@David-og2sfnearly impossible online. not worth going for it.
if you end up with miss input your turn is over and dmg nearly zero haha
Fucking finally. Felt like Steve was so fucking slow. Thank goodness.
Will you do a combo guide in the future? Some of those mixes are nice
I could but honestly there are so many changes coming in this early in the game, so combos are useable for maybe a few months before becoming obsolete.
Also tbh I suck at combo routes, and my in my vids I recycle the same 2-3 routes in all scenarios 🤣
thx bro, great video. Finally Steve is viable.
Btw, how can u cancel LH stance? And how what input should be put if i want to transition into LH stance after some moves like f22
Just hold back when doing a move that forces the LH transition
@soulxcv thank u so much!!
It’s true that it will leave you at -9 but you have two parry options after if you have a good read of the opponent. Such as b+3, 2 or 1. If they decide to use a high
This is great info, I will lab this out!
Harada luv us guys, thank you. Instead of nerfing other character, he made us OP
Steve is buff and he got the stuff!
These QoL buffs are so welcomed, I feel like the new LNH cancels indirectly buffs B1, DF2, B2 for more setup options; maybe even baiting into manual LNH 2!

It's gonna be broken for sure 🤣
Don't forget that you can do CH DF2 into SONIC FANG if you have the duck cancel execution👍🏻
you are the goat
God damn dude i love your channel so much. He looks so good now, enjoy it steve enjoyers, im a paul enjoyer feasting as well, happy fisting yall
Ayo 🤨📸
I'm gonna use that fisting line in one of my clickbait titles thank you 🤣
@@soulxcv lol payment for all the awesome videos! They helped me a ton when I initially wanted to play Steve and I've watched basically every single one. Awesome stuff
Steve mains are eating good rn
oh yeah, optional LH AND buffed LH 1 / 1+2 options? we're eating GOOD
By the way, still waiting for the B1 => Flicker no-guard fix, this is insane
I kinda think its intentional
Then why does the game lie and say you're -1 there if they didn't intend for you to be able to block? Kinda weird
@@punchdrunkfgcjust learn the cancel. it’s not like steve needs some sort of cancel for every single move anyway haha
@@ranges787 It just feels unatural to not be able to block on Flicker Stance, and a perfect cancel ( meaning you'll be safe no matter what after ) is not that easy to do
@@PheenieWright what is easy to do with this dude haha
that’s what i mean.
it’s good that there is something that show the difference in skill level.
and i find it funny that people want b1 with no cancel and at the same time want shiro combo back which is 1 billion times harder haha
look what his max dmg staple needs
a blue spark arkward timed move and a f3 into instant ws1 cancel … this shit is 10 times harder than perfect b1 cancel
LH 1+2 CAN NOW BREAK POWER CRUSHES??!! OHMYGOD IMMA FEAST WITH THIS FRRRR🗣️🔥🔥
Number one change I asked for from the start. They didn't even need to speed it up. Steve is BACK.
They will give him every buff but not a single stand launcher lol ..
Its heartbreaking when your opponent is vulnerable and you can't launch him straight 😭
That's the identity of the character I'm afraid, his safety is second to none tho!
Is ws 1+2 viable after CH df2?
tbh prob not the window is super tiny and if you drop it you could end up with a miss input or be too slow ending in -12 and nearly zero dmg not worth it online imo. stick to the gattling or drop the flex but nobody will care haha
Very very hard to do!
we were starving for 5 months but now we are eating good.
Idk about using the ws sonic fang i always punish with wildman or fc df2 if i see opponent staggered after using a hellsweep XD
Years of muscle memory does that to you! Partly I enjoy having limited punishers because my monke brain can't memorize all the frame data on block.
I still feel like we need a chunky counter hit mid move
Flk2 does the job but setting it up is the problematic part
its beautiful
Now we just need boxing gloves
The biggest buff we need. Bring back the giant gloves!
Steve is now amazing. He has 16f punisher from crouch!
Except.....his b2 still doesnt launch like it used to💔 He still sucks at punishing while standing.
True! A lot of characters got their old launchers turned into a mini combo in T8
you forgot to mention that fc df2 is now his best whiff punish.
if the hitbox is extended it has solid range and can be performed instantly from standing if you manual flk into crouch cancel.
i labbed yesterday and it’s actually better than df2 right now because nobody knows that this is -15 hahaha use it until it’s common knowledge
Oh yeah for sure! I already used it a bunch when I played today. But really good players will punish you heavily for this
I took a lil break.... now im boutta be back woth a vengeance
we can now use sonic fang after ch df2 and use more ws22 to mix WE ARE EATING GOOD GUYS
I saw from the Discord! But man the input is tight
@@soulxcv we play Steve we love difficulties
Oh wow
I never used ws 2,2. I did ws 1,2 after I blocked low.
Hi Soul, been watching your vids and played lots of casual matches with my Steve, we had a few matched a while back when I had first started tekken ( in game name is TheLongman )
I would like to play some games with you again if you don’t mind, I would like to see how I fare against you again if you are ok with that 👍🏻
Hell yeah I'm always up to play! I could learn a thing or two from you 😀
@@soulxcv more like I would learn a thing or two from you 😂
I’m online now if you are down for a few games
advanced steve combo next please
No more zafina claw parry oss on LH mixup is wild.
Can't stress how happy I am that parry characters like Zafina will be thinking twice now before spamming her claws on my mix
🎉🎉 🎉
Now if they can just fix his voicelines he'll be s+++ tier
Not even playing around ☝️🤓
The changes are welcomed but I genuinely just want df2 ch combo back, not even the shiro just a regular ass ch combo. I don't even want df2 homing.
1000% agree
All this buff is great!…but honestly I want only one buff more…give me df2 ch launcher with shiro and steve is PERFECT for me.
B2 should go under highs
These "changes" are just bugfixes it should have been that way from the start. Regardless Steve mids are still rock bottom
Finally LH cancel 🔥🔥
he got a super simple new combo route that deals the most dmg out of all the simple no micro dash combos
you can do launcher uf 2 (example) into
311. b12b. f22. into ender it’s 66 dmg but after 312 ender lnh2 won’t connect
it deals 1 dmg less than
311 micro dash df121 f22
what makes this combo good is that the travel distance isn’t so long so it’s a short ranged option.
Ahh yes this is due to the universal 3x spin nerf done in 1.04.
We just need a mid that scary to make opp not duck and steve is top teir😊
I hope Steve isn't top tier, just sit in A or B+ and he's perfect
df2 counter 1+2 guaranteed
Yes it is. Timing and execution is a pain though
Make DF2 CH launch again!!!
