I loved this video, and I don't mean to offend anyone when I say this, but in all honesty this was more of the mechanic of "how" to do a back dash cancel, but it wasn't actually executed correctly. Unfortunately there are players of very high ranks in Tekken 7 (top 5% playerbase) who still do not have the mechanics to KBD (Korean Back Dash), even players who have played for years. I even know people who can death combo but STILL can't back dash correctly. It's EXTREMELY difficult to master movement, a professional player could defeat people with combo knowledge by only using a 10frame Jab, left punch, and movement alone. In saying that, the creator MF, does explain how to back dash cancel correctly, and it's all a matter of practice and consistency. As a newcomer, to Tekken 7, the movement he used in game was actually really really good. If MF watched just a few guides on optimizing combos, pokes and punishers, he could have easily made it to Warrior rank with Noctis within 100 games given his innate mechanical ability.
@@LiamNancarrow Not everyone is using a Korean stick, I believe that Lud is playing on a controller which IMO is a pretty bad time for a consistent KBD combined with other subsequent inputs in comparison to a mixbox, hitbox, arcade etc. I think it's very unlikely Lud would have made it to Warrior on Noctis in the span of 100 games given how mentally draining Tekken can be on new players if they're not taking time off to decompress and recollect their mental.(hence possibly why he went back to 1st dan after spending a considerable amount of time in mentor.)
I just recently started a new account for more custom slots, and it’s crazy how many Smurfs there are. I’m usually a red-purple ranks player and I’m finding that these Smurfs are better than most blue ranks. Who knew to get better at the game, you had to play at lower ranks.
It just sucks starting off just barely good enoigh to block spamming, then you either fight braindeads or literal gods when you go on a streak I have had quite a few good matches despite it, it's nowhere near as bad aw getting into online street fighter or mortal kombat
@@alphonsowillis6942 I think you're just underestimating the skill of lower rank players. This game has a lot of plateaus where you need to learn a bunch to get higher in ranks. So you can have a solid grasp of fundamentals but still get blown up by gimmicks of characters you don't know.
This genuinely might be my new go to video for showing new people who want to play FGs but don't yet how to get into them, and that the learning process can take time. I love the little insights, like mentioning how that certain things are bad habits that work early on but at higher ranks are bad, or just how learning even the most basic two hit combo is a big achievement. Definitely a fantastic video.
This is actually amazing. Too much fighting game content on youtube is just pros doing things that seem impossible, seeing the genuine growth is so refreshing and engaging
Bruh took not arguably the easuest char in the game and couldnt past 1dan? U guys crazy or somethin? Get a life fr💀💀 this guy wont make it to grandmaster in 10y lmao and thats not a joke bc he left thw game already vc hes that bad😂
Gotta say main reason I never played these games because I was super intimidated but watching the learning curve and the way you explain it is really neat!
Tekken seems simple because each limb has a corresponding button. Other fighting games sometimes simply use 2-3 buttons. Even direction inputs in tekken aren't usually complex
@Young Morbid been trying virtua fighter 5 and feels more like the 3d mks. Haven't played DoA in many years to compare. Tekken's like SF compared to other 2ds.
its not too bad, tekken does a good job of setting things up for noobs, as a noob myself, having the easy combo input gives me inspiration on how to combo, the punishment training is great to learn good basic moves, and sample combos are really helpful, 5 days into tekken, and I hit green rank which I dont think thats good, But Im proud of it.
@@alejandroramirez4470 Virtua fighter and tekken are very similar. Lots of reversals. Haven't played mks. Tekken and Virtua fighters game play is much more fluid than mortal Kombat or street fight.
As a somewhat seasoned Tekken player,it was so fun watching a new players journey and seeing you grow and learn as you play! You didn't let your losses get to you too much and tried figuring out what you did wrong/could do better. This is what it's all about. Great video bro.
Ok - let me tell you 1. jabbing too much in tekken is bad. It can be ducked, sidestepped or sidewalked or crushed. Mix it with d/f +1 which is a mid. 2. you don’t duck throws, you break them. Ducking throws is BAD too. You WILL get set up. 3. Kazuya’s hellsweep (the low you were complaining about) needs to be launch punished when you block it, but you can also crush it or sidewalk left at range 2.
@@c16621 yes everything in tekken has an answer to it but spamming jab is something you should do to see if your opponent knows how to deal w/ it. every time he did it in the video i was yelling at my screen "YES bro YESSSS!!! that is what you _should_ be doing instead of punishable moves/strings! especially in low ranks when they don't know how to deal w/ it it's NOT BEING MEAN BRO if they don't know how to beat it then please keep spamming jab bro! 😩"
Bruh took not arguably the easuest char in the game and couldnt past 1dan? U guys crazy or somethin? Get a life fr💀💀 this guy wont make it to grandmaster in 10y lmao and thats not a joke bc he left thw game already vc hes that bad😂
as an intermediate/decent player this is so refreshing to our new players go from “wtf do i do” to stringing decent combos with balcony breaks together and so on, if you continue playing i wish you the best on your Tekken god omega journey
New sub here, I’ve never watched a tekken video or played the game. I watched this video out of curiosity and sat through the whole 56 minutes. I would like to see you keep playing this and climb through the ranks, it was great seeing you learn your character. I’m fully invested!
Most characters have pretty similar basic tools in Tekken but it takes hundreds of hours to get used to how they interact with each other. For example, on Noctis' 22222 string, new players won't know what to do and intuitively try and hit you mid string, or try punishing when it ends. But to a good player, 5 consecutive hits in a string is really memorable. They're not worried about getting hit with a stray low, and will patiently hold block the entire string, casually remember where either the consecutive highs are or the low is, and then launch you or low parry you two rounds later when you think they forgot about it. At first you get hit with everyone's BS, but eventually people can't even show you their BS because your basic movement and default pokes run it all over. Great video, hope you play more.
I 100% agree with your first sentence. The fundamentals aren't too hard to understand. Getting carried in the air by 4 combo strings every round really drills it in to your head that, THAT'S how to play tekken. When you're in the air you're at your most vulnerable because you can't do anything while airborne. After you learn your character inputs, strengths and weaknesses then what naturally should come after is learning the matchups. Unfortunately something you cannot learn or improve on is your reaction time. Everybody in the gaming community knows how your reaction time gets worse as you age. In Korea you are considered passed your prime when you're over 25 which sounds so insane but it's just how it is
Getting launched four times a round will definitely teach you the block button lol. Fortunately there are only three things in Tekken you have to react to: unblockables, throws, and snake edges. These all have half-second response windows, which is easily doable for an average middle-aged person.
@@itsmesteve1081 past 25 for tekken is very normal most top players are in their late 30s. being the fact its a knowledge and read based game more than reacting.
@@itsmesteve1081 but knee is korean and still a 3 times evo winner, his first evo win was on tt2 era when he was 28 reactions aren't "game breaking" because you're not supposed to react to everything, a lot of moves are bellow the average human reaction, what most people do are predictions based on how opponents reacts AFTER your attacks maybe it works this way for other games in korea like overwatch or lol but i don't play these games so, at least for tekken, fundamentals are everything
Bruh took not arguably the easuest char in the game and couldnt past 1dan? U guys crazy or somethin? Get a life fr💀💀 this guy wont make it to grandmaster in 10y lmao and thats not a joke bc he left thw game already vc hes that bad😂
Just a hallmark of great character design. Jack is very imposing looking compared to other Tekken characters. The way he's designed visually reflects how the character is usually played, and helps the player figure out what's coming.
For the beginners reading this, in the beginning you'll lose a lot..figure out why and have a laugh or two. Keep these 2 things in mind and you'll enjoy learning the game more. Thank you for posting this. You approached it the same way I always do with any fighting game. Go to practice. Memorize a few moves. Go online and play. Rinse and repeat.
I feel like people overestimate how hard Tekken is. Characters have big move sets but you only really need to know their key moves, you don’t need to know a character’s entire moveset to do well with them. Also combos are much more forgiving and accessible, you can do most optimal combos somewhat easily in comparison to combos in SF or KOF where most require good execution to pull off.
As someone who plays both Melee and Tekken at semi-competitive level, this was a very enjoyable watch. I love how Ludvix sometimes shows signs of understanding of defensive mechanics like movement and is able to incorporate it to his gameplay with relative ease, but also struggles in memorizing moves and combos. For real though, there's so much stuff to learn in Tekken, and without a personal mentor you really don't know what you should be focusing on, and it's easy to get overwhelmed, but I'm glad you enjoyed the learning process.
Sometimes simplified movesets are harder to play. SF and mk come to mind. King of fighters I haven't really played but there's only 3-4 buttons. Other 3D fighters I haven't played in so long and I'm not familiar with how combos are done.
Never watched tutorials and just played as I did. It took me 5 years to get to vindicator in T7 and get rid of the bulshittery I learn in the green ranks. If I had someone mentor me I would've reached the same rank half the time
@@calebdolin3291 I'd be happy to offer a few advices. Just send me a youtube link or steam or w/e. I'm in Asia so the connection might be poor, though.
the big thing about doing something like this is willing to learn. you went through many steps and adjustments. The highest point of fighters IMO is learning. Winning is only the result of what you have learned and losing is just an opportunity to learn how to get better.
I've been playing Tekken for as long as I can remember. I'm currently in the purple/blue ranks and my advice is simple. Learn the basics and I promise you will improve immediately. Blocking, punishing and movement. I cannot stress this enough lol. Don't waste your time like I did! Practice and you will have so much fun with this game. What a great video, especially for people who are not very familiar with FGs. Definitely earned a sub
Man I would love a follow up to this. Btw here’s a tip I learned. Sometimes players will intentionally shorten their combos when the opponent is near death, so they can’t access their rage drive/ art.
lots of begineers make the mistake of spamming their rage art as a panic move hoping to turn the tide of the fight. since almost all the rage arts are blockable, if you know what to do, then is an almost assured round.
Yo this video is great. As someone who picked up Tekken 7 a few years ago, I was one of those people who get stuck in Training Mode grinding combos for their few hours before straight up dropping the game. You've inspired me to give it another go and take some L's online and have some fun with it
It was really fin watching you learn the game from scratch. I liked the evolution from starting with one of the main characters (Kazuya) to switching to a character that gels more with you. I also liked the evolution of you learning what tactics worked and what didn't. It shows that noctis was a really good addition as a guest character because 1)Its a character that is quite well known and 2) the character is easy to pick up and play so you can actually focus more on learning the actual game and less on learning the character. I would like you to try Age of Empires 2 as a test. Its a fun game which can be quite daunting when first starting out.
With how menu moves Noctis has i'm gonna say no, he's better off picking Gigas For real, the better learning caracther is Kazumi cause better sidestep and noctis is a FTTAWSBFTMA caracther
Combos, guaranteed follow ups, whiff punish, and punish launch punishable moves are important. But I’ll also stress a good 50/50 game. You can easily get by on 50/50s, especially safer ones that knock down. You can bring 50/50 mentality to poking, mixing grabs with mids, etc. Now this is getting advanced, but I’d get comfortable with jab, with 1,2 and df1. Try to punish with 1,2 when you’re unsure of block frames. 1,2 is better than a full 10 frame string if you’re not confident it will hit because if it gets blocked you’re safe. And if it hits you’ll be plus frames and very close depending on your character (being close can allow command throws). Also use these moves for poking/interrupting. **Learn to hit confirm them**. Learn the frames on hit, follow it with a mixup for people who block and frame trap people who mash. All this goes for dick jab too, but you only use this for interrupt (and it’s really good for that). If they are blocked, you’re like -2, you can side step or sidewalk, but don’t press buttons until you get the hang of it! It will negate the step all together if you press as their move is coming out, you must wait for the whiff then punish. If they don’t press anything no big deal, you can backdash and maybe get them to whiff, or no backdash and throw out a quick CH move because they’ll likely be ready to press when they see sidewalk into nothing. These are fundamentals and what I find fun. In all honesty for T7 just learn frame tight offense/pressure and rush every opponent down no matter what.
It depends on your character, then you know how to do the combos, even if you are a noob, I learned a few days ago and I was able to fight decently in the low ranked
Ohhh, well that's something new. I play Tekken quite competitively and seeing someone play in this perspective from the moment they start to learn the game - and playing within a timeframe is actually refreshing to see
Really, really cool, informative and enjoyable Video! Very important things for beginners: don't let yourself be fooled by "Tierlists" or "Best Characters"... these lists are not for new players, but rather for veterans. Always at first, pick your characters by style or design, so you atleast are somewhat intrigued by the character itself. This was one of the best advice my friend gave me, that got me into Tekken. Also, don't try to force yourself to learn combos in the first couple of hours. Especially in Tekken, you should at first try to step up your poke game, since the right pokes can give you huge life leads (except against Paul, there is no life lead against Paul KEKW). Also: don't be scared of side-stepping. My go to plan to learn combos in new fighting games and overall learn new characters in certain fighting games: try to figure out how to do the moves of a combo (by themselves), try to figure out what the recovery times feel like, look at how much damage the moves do and try to put it together, piece by piece. If you do a lot of missinputs, try focus on this first. Try to find out what habits you developed and if they maybe even correlate to your missinputs. These are just really small tips but these could make a huge impact, atleast they did for me. Tekken is incredibly complex and is arguably even the most complex fighting game on the market. Everyone started like a total scrub in this game. I highly recommend the tutorial videos of AvoidingThePuddle if you want to get more insight on the core mechanics of this game.
Just seeing this video in my recommended and I was the Jin at 45:44 and I’m just, woah, LOL been quite a while since then, cool to see you got a video out of it!
It's super interesting to see Tekken through a beginners eyes. I've been playing Tekken for years and years and years. I do not remember what it was like when Tekken was brand new to me. Great video!!
Bruh took not arguably the easuest char in the game and couldnt past 1dan? U guys crazy or somethin? Get a life fr💀💀 this guy wont make it to grandmaster in 10y lmao and thats not a joke bc he left thw game already vc hes that bad😂
Through too much internet usage, my attention span has become low but idk why I always watch like whole 50-60 minutes videos which catch my interest. Really well made video, man. I aspire to become a good Tekken player like you too
As a new player i like getting spammed. It s actually one of the best things you can do to a new player. You force them to find a solution to the most simple things...if the game is balanced somewhat that is.
I would love to see you play Guilty Gear, it has a real tutorial that actually teaches you how to play the game, so I would be curious how much that would impact your learning. Also, for a lot of these fighting games, watching a couple high level tournament matches will teach you so much about the basics. Maybe half way through the 100 games you could take a pro match break and react to top level players? It would be pretty cool to see your reactions after having played the game for a while.
As someone also new to playing tekken competitively I very much enjoyed this video and I hope lots of newbies watch this and feel inspired to play and Kazuya's hellsweep low is what you would call an un-reactable low because the start up frames are so fast so you pretty much have to guess if he's gonna go low or not but if you notice your opponent does the hellsweep a lot from neutral or when your waking up just stay blocking low in those situations and you'll get a big punish
seeing this reminds me of my first few hours into tekken 7. I started with Noctis too so I think you made a good call there as he's great for beginners. Also seeing you naturally side step left against Kazuya was 200 IQ.
Tekken's in game information is dogshit, but it has some of the best community resources I've seen on a character to character basis. Look up a character on UA-cam and you'll come across 15 minute to 2 hour tutorials that cover everything notable about them, plus a healthy amount of beginner guides + theory.
Great video! It's really fun to watch someone learn something this new to them, I have one tip that you should consider learning about if you decide to try your hand at more fighting games: Don't throw your full combos out when the opponents block because it generally leaves you more open, learn to watch when the first hits are blocked or not and stop attacking if they are, that way, you don't give your opponent a clear window to punish you and you can later mix up your approach while you have them waiting for their turn. You did great though and you already have a good mindset for learning competitive games so I'm looking forward to see what's next!
When I first started playing the game I was basically the opposite of you 😆 I learned big combos and what did the most damage first and learned poking/movement/punishing later, so this was interesting to see. Good video!
Awesome video! I remember my time back in those ranks eating hellsweeps and snake edges like it's a buffet. Lmao. anyways, For those having a hard time remembering punishers. Just focus on two punishers as a start. your fastest Jab and your fastest launcher. You block a move that's new to you? launch punish it! It got blocked and didn't launch? Jab punish it next time. Your jab got blocked? Then it's a safe move. Also remember to try duck highs, characters usually have different punishers after ducking or blocking lows called while standing moves (usually denoted in tekken notation as WS). Once you got the hang of jab punishing and launch punishing (and doing the appropriate combos!) You can move on to adding more optimal punishers. Good luck out there!
love seeing people be interested in learning fgs so many just write it off as being elitist and impossible to learn, just because they dont want to put in any effort the way you learned from your experiences and used your resources to improve your learning process was pleasant and very mature compared to most newcomers i love your stuff, keep going : ]
I absolutely love the really chill vibe this video had throughout. And it was really fun seeing you gradually get more and more used to Tekken. Would love to see more videos like this.
Very interesting video, I forget how T7 doesn't teach you a damn thing. One thing I noticed is that you consistently drop your combo whenever you land a screw attack, you kind of just freeze and let them get up. If you land a screw, thats when you do your combo ender.
When you were looking at combos in the training mode, you mentioned how hard it would be to remember the entire string. You can press the Y button, or whatever it's mapped to the bottom of the screen will tell you, and it will put the combo at the top of the training mode while outside the menu.
Been playing fighting games my whole life and it’s nice to see new people get into them especially tekken and would love to see more variety of fighting games on this channel, but in case you’re not aware there is a feature in tekken training mode that lets you watch a combo and see how it’s properly done and timing of the commands, and there is a feature that will display the combo on your screen letting you practice it without having to pause and look at the move list.
@@Ludvix Yeah my bad i guess i overlooked that part but there is also a function called "display in game" that will let you display the inputs on the top of your screen in practice mode letting you practice that specific combo or move input freely in game without having to constantly pause the game to look at the moves list, even having a "Reset" command that will reset both fighters to starting position should you mess up the combo, idk if you knew about "Punishment Training mode" bc i didnt see it in the video but basically the game will recommend the best attacks for punishing character specific moves, basically does all the frame data math for you. This video was quite long so you may already know about these things but in case you werent i wanted to let you know bc it really helped me out a lot with practicing and stepping up the combo game lol. You can even set up specific situations like against wall/balcony break, wakeup attacks, etc.
So tekken prowess is a ROUGH indicator of how much experience that player has. Also the color of the name is effected by the tekken prowess. I think it goes a blue outline, then yellow-green, then a red outline, and the farthest I’ve seen is a purple outline (which most pros have). That law that got 6 matches off you, had a red name so he was definitely smurfing.
It was really inteesting to see what a New player experience going into Tekken is like. Your mindset was perfect and you succesfully understood the basics of the game without any help and this is great. Thanks to you we can clearly see that tekken lacks a tutorial... i hope Tekken 8 fix that. Also, with your mindset, you could have reached a MUCH higher rank with the help of a "coach" or if you watched begginner video on youtube. But that wasnt the point, i get that. It was really frustrating to see you struggle and sometime reaching a wrong conclusion only because the game doesnt teach you anything to be good at it... i really enjoyed watching your Journey, thank you !
Just reached the end. Noctis is one of my favorite characters to play in this game, I think he's a really smart design that is fun for all skill levels. It was very interesting to see someone coming to realizations about the mechanics and what tools seemed good. Cool video.
I had to lose over a 1000 games just to understand tekken once and for all... yet im still garbage. That's why i love this game, whenever you improve it feels so rewarding.
Diving into Tekken for the first time is daunting for sure but you did pretty decently! If there's one thing Tekken 7 is severely lacking it's training tools, though practice mode is still invaluable. Watching tutorials was basically a must when I hit a beginner plateau of my own, there's so much legacy tech that you can only learn through the community or analyzing replays.
I think more Smash players should try Tekken. I found it easier to get into than other fighting games because there’s waaaay less of an air game (until you fight Akuma lol). And I feel like less bad habits from Smash carried over.
This is a good video for all of those out there that like to stay in training mode forever and rarely take matches online because they feel they don't know their character enough.
Learning a game in 100 games is tough, but i like watching a player enter a new fighting game and learning. I think an easier game to learn while still having a nice diff curve to it would be Guilty Gear Strive. Keep up the good work homie, as a Tekken player this was cool to see.
It really was a great insight in seeing how a new comer sees a game which for me, who has been playing tekken since tekken 3, is a standard for fighting game. Great video!
I never played fighting games seriously, I was so happy the first time I did a EWGF or a combo because I genuinely thought I would never learn either. It is so much easier than what your brain makes it out to be, just practice hard and take breaks when you’re tired. Also don’t only try one character, I learnt devil Jin first but then realized I liked normal Jin better.
This was a great video! It was great seeing how you would analyse situations (sometimes after the fact) and adapt with something you learned earlier. It also reminded me how of all fighting games, the hardest one has no tutorial, this is such a problem with fighting games man. Hopefully Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 fix this. I also know the pain of learning so much but still being at the beginner ranks, you learn that with Tekken the learning never ever stops. If you'd like some feedback on this type of video though, I think these videos could maybe be shorter (40m max?) or just structured/edited a bit more as it's a bit of commitment to watch and a little dry. A conclusion at the end of the stuff you learned, thoughts about the game, struggles, what felt good/bad, recommendations, what you'd do different etc. would be great. Also, maybe playing a noob friend at the end before and after your grind would be a fun thing to do. Could also have an experienced player comment on how you've improved.
btw when ur opponent does a combo on you, theres a thing where if you spin onto the ground they basically get free reign to continue a combo; the time to tech off the ground from a spin takes a long time
THAT WAS MORE HELPFUL FOR A BEGINNER LIKE ME THEN EVERY OTHER "BEGINNER" VID! I started as well idk what they all meant with db2 b1 ect. I also was overwhelmed by the amount of combos... and i rememberd like 25-30% before my first Match and then went in and failed everything. Just doin basics learn 1-2 moves get them to remember use and THEN learn the next one and do the same is soo mutch smarter. Thank you for that. Only because i can remember Things fast doesnt mean i know how to use it. So this makes more sence
It also took me way longer than it should to learn what to do when characters are flat on the ground. It completely changed to your game when you do though. At first it all seems really daunting but so much becomes second nature when you play/practice enough!
GJ mate,u learn pretty fast bc u want to learn:D i think i played around 1500-2000 games and i know Jin and Joshimitsu,but i didn’t learn frame things. After this vid i will learn it because it’s more important than i tought
Hey there! Would you consider continuing this series? Like... Maybe ranking up to the green and/or yellow ranks? Green rank is just above Grandmaster and I think it's realistic for you to reach those ranks. I think a lot of us Tekken players would love to watch your journey. Please and thank you. And it's completely fine if you're not feelin' it. No pressure. 👍
as a tekken veteran watching a new player trying tekken for the first time gives me so much cringe i can't even explain it. but in the other hand gives me joy to see others suffer like i did.
I watched the whole thing. Well that was fun to watch battling a 1st Dan then say 1st Dan's are so bad 😂 when you come back down there for like 3 times.
Maybe how many games it'll take you to get Mentor once more as a different character you find yourself interested in? Loved watching you fight the Steves btw, I'm a Steve main myself. Great content.
Its really fun to see your progression in each fight💯🔥and using Noctis, especially when you fought against people that goes hard like Steve😂 This video is perfect to bring more people to Tekken
I got into tekken for the first time about a year ago. Spent soooo much time in practice mode, finally hit ranked and got worked regardless up to a certain point. I had lots of shining moments, but my defense is what really made me struggle. Made it to around 3rd Dan and kinda stopped playing. Seeing a learning player work their way up and getting a higher rank than I did is pretty encouraging. It’s all a process, especially with a complicated game such as tekken
All about the journey and loving the feeling when u learn something new :) not the rank/ end goal. If we just immediately got like top 500 player in 1 day would it really be fun?
Hey man, this was a great video. I recently got into tekken too, and I was very intimidated to say the least lol. But seeing you go through these games like this was amazing and I loved hearing your little insights. Honestly, seeing the gradual improvement is so much more interesting and engaging than some kind of tutorial video lol. Thanks for this, and great job!
The thing about tekken is when you're facing with an unfamiliar matchup such as the negan at the end, you might not get the full picture about the certain character, that guy was just spamming either slow moves (because negan has some faster alternatives) or he just mashed into every + frames you had.
what game should i do next? (it doesnt have to be a fighting game / it has to have some form of a ranked mode)
and yes melee is in the works lol
Dragonball FighterZ would be a fun one
I wish you didn't say it needs ranked cause Skullgirls goes hard
mk11
there are a ton of games i would suggest that have just been abandoned but GG Xrd Rev 2 is now more populated thanks to the newly implemented rollback
I love how at the beginning he's like "Omg I can remember five moves" but also "so I learned how to back dash cancel, no big deal".
Certified melee player moment lmao movement fun, remember combo hard
To be fair, some people find mechanics hard, some people find big move lists hard
I loved this video, and I don't mean to offend anyone when I say this, but in all honesty this was more of the mechanic of "how" to do a back dash cancel, but it wasn't actually executed correctly.
Unfortunately there are players of very high ranks in Tekken 7 (top 5% playerbase) who still do not have the mechanics to KBD (Korean Back Dash), even players who have played for years. I even know people who can death combo but STILL can't back dash correctly.

As a newcomer, to Tekken 7, the movement he used in game was actually really really good.

I literally gave up on Smash Ultimate because movement was too hard. I've been able to KBD on device of choice in Tekken for years.
Its cool to see that there are still so many players in the low ranks to learn the game with
honestly have no idea how he got this many fair matches, my experience has been smurf hell all the way down
I just recently started a new account for more custom slots, and it’s crazy how many Smurfs there are. I’m usually a red-purple ranks player and I’m finding that these Smurfs are better than most blue ranks. Who knew to get better at the game, you had to play at lower ranks.
It just sucks starting off just barely good enoigh to block spamming, then you either fight braindeads or literal gods when you go on a streak
I have had quite a few good matches despite it, it's nowhere near as bad aw getting into online street fighter or mortal kombat
The Pits, me and my mates call it. The ranks under Brawler. It's chaos, getting out of there.
@@alphonsowillis6942 I think you're just underestimating the skill of lower rank players. This game has a lot of plateaus where you need to learn a bunch to get higher in ranks. So you can have a solid grasp of fundamentals but still get blown up by gimmicks of characters you don't know.
This genuinely might be my new go to video for showing new people who want to play FGs but don't yet how to get into them, and that the learning process can take time. I love the little insights, like mentioning how that certain things are bad habits that work early on but at higher ranks are bad, or just how learning even the most basic two hit combo is a big achievement. Definitely a fantastic video.
tysm that really means a lot.
i popped off when he _finally_ properly timed 1+2 after d/b+1+2.
but yeah i think the biggest thing was when he acknowledged playing on auto pilot.
@@Ludvix hey man this was an excellent video
This is actually amazing. Too much fighting game content on youtube is just pros doing things that seem impossible, seeing the genuine growth is so refreshing and engaging
Bruh took not arguably the easuest char in the game and couldnt past 1dan? U guys crazy or somethin? Get a life fr💀💀 this guy wont make it to grandmaster in 10y lmao and thats not a joke bc he left thw game already vc hes that bad😂

Gotta say main reason I never played these games because I was super intimidated but watching the learning curve and the way you explain it is really neat!
Tekken seems simple because each limb has a corresponding button. Other fighting games sometimes simply use 2-3 buttons. Even direction inputs in tekken aren't usually complex
Tekkens easy. You can learn a lot of the basic combos just from playing for a day. Easy to learn hard to master. The advanced combos are no joke.
@Young Morbid been trying virtua fighter 5 and feels more like the 3d mks. Haven't played DoA in many years to compare. Tekken's like SF compared to other 2ds.
its not too bad, tekken does a good job of setting things up for noobs, as a noob myself, having the easy combo input gives me inspiration on how to combo, the punishment training is great to learn good basic moves, and sample combos are really helpful, 5 days into tekken, and I hit green rank which I dont think thats good, But Im proud of it.
@@alejandroramirez4470 Virtua fighter and tekken are very similar. Lots of reversals. Haven't played mks. Tekken and Virtua fighters game play is much more fluid than mortal Kombat or street fight.
As a somewhat seasoned Tekken player,it was so fun watching a new players journey and seeing you grow and learn as you play! You didn't let your losses get to you too much and tried figuring out what you did wrong/could do better. This is what it's all about. Great video bro.
you need to watch “how to” videos to even start to play tekken. Also, you need to learn frame data too.
Ok - let me tell you
1. jabbing too much in tekken is bad. It can be ducked, sidestepped or sidewalked or crushed. Mix it with d/f +1 which is a mid.
2. you don’t duck throws, you break them. Ducking throws is BAD too. You WILL get set up.
3. Kazuya’s hellsweep (the low you were complaining about) needs to be launch punished when you block it, but you can also crush it or sidewalk left at range 2.
@@c16621 YO BRO how high is your rank you seem to know a lot
@@c16621 yes everything in tekken has an answer to it but spamming jab is something you should do to see if your opponent knows how to deal w/ it. every time he did it in the video i was yelling at my screen "YES bro YESSSS!!! that is what you _should_ be doing instead of punishable moves/strings! especially in low ranks when they don't know how to deal w/ it it's NOT BEING MEAN BRO if they don't know how to beat it then please keep spamming jab bro! 😩"
@@c16621 A beginner definitely doesn't need to know frame data.
really like how this video is organized, and not overrun with memes and loud noises, keep it up
Bruh took not arguably the easuest char in the game and couldnt past 1dan? U guys crazy or somethin? Get a life fr💀💀 this guy wont make it to grandmaster in 10y lmao and thats not a joke bc he left thw game already vc hes that bad😂
as an intermediate/decent player this is so refreshing to our new players go from “wtf do i do” to stringing decent combos with balcony breaks together and so on, if you continue playing i wish you the best on your Tekken god omega journey
New sub here, I’ve never watched a tekken video or played the game. I watched this video out of curiosity and sat through the whole 56 minutes. I would like to see you keep playing this and climb through the ranks, it was great seeing you learn your character. I’m fully invested!
Most characters have pretty similar basic tools in Tekken but it takes hundreds of hours to get used to how they interact with each other. For example, on Noctis' 22222 string, new players won't know what to do and intuitively try and hit you mid string, or try punishing when it ends. But to a good player, 5 consecutive hits in a string is really memorable. They're not worried about getting hit with a stray low, and will patiently hold block the entire string, casually remember where either the consecutive highs are or the low is, and then launch you or low parry you two rounds later when you think they forgot about it. At first you get hit with everyone's BS, but eventually people can't even show you their BS because your basic movement and default pokes run it all over. Great video, hope you play more.
I 100% agree with your first sentence. The fundamentals aren't too hard to understand. Getting carried in the air by 4 combo strings every round really drills it in to your head that, THAT'S how to play tekken. When you're in the air you're at your most vulnerable because you can't do anything while airborne. After you learn your character inputs, strengths and weaknesses then what naturally should come after is learning the matchups. Unfortunately something you cannot learn or improve on is your reaction time. Everybody in the gaming community knows how your reaction time gets worse as you age. In Korea you are considered passed your prime when you're over 25 which sounds so insane but it's just how it is
Getting launched four times a round will definitely teach you the block button lol. Fortunately there are only three things in Tekken you have to react to: unblockables, throws, and snake edges. These all have half-second response windows, which is easily doable for an average middle-aged person.
@@itsmesteve1081 past 25 for tekken is very normal most top players are in their late 30s. being the fact its a knowledge and read based game more than reacting.
@@itsmesteve1081 but knee is korean and still a 3 times evo winner, his first evo win was on tt2 era when he was 28
reactions aren't "game breaking" because you're not supposed to react to everything, a lot of moves are bellow the average human reaction, what most people do are predictions based on how opponents reacts AFTER your attacks
maybe it works this way for other games in korea like overwatch or lol but i don't play these games so, at least for tekken, fundamentals are everything
Bruh took not arguably the easuest char in the game and couldnt past 1dan? U guys crazy or somethin? Get a life fr💀💀 this guy wont make it to grandmaster in 10y lmao and thats not a joke bc he left thw game already vc hes that bad😂
I love how like even though he didn't know anything about jack he still is instinctually afraid to approach him
Just a hallmark of great character design. Jack is very imposing looking compared to other Tekken characters. The way he's designed visually reflects how the character is usually played, and helps the player figure out what's coming.
For the beginners reading this, in the beginning you'll lose a lot..figure out why and have a laugh or two. Keep these 2 things in mind and you'll enjoy learning the game more. Thank you for posting this. You approached it the same way I always do with any fighting game. Go to practice. Memorize a few moves. Go online and play. Rinse and repeat.
I feel like people overestimate how hard Tekken is.
Characters have big move sets but you only really need to know their key moves, you don’t need to know a character’s entire moveset to do well with them.
Also combos are much more forgiving and accessible, you can do most optimal combos somewhat easily in comparison to combos in SF or KOF where most require good execution to pull off.
As an experienced player, this was very entertaining and insightful. Thank you for sharing your journey!
As someone who plays both Melee and Tekken at semi-competitive level, this was a very enjoyable watch.
I love how Ludvix sometimes shows signs of understanding of defensive mechanics like movement and is able to incorporate it to his gameplay with relative ease, but also struggles in memorizing moves and combos.
For real though, there's so much stuff to learn in Tekken, and without a personal mentor you really don't know what you should be focusing on, and it's easy to get overwhelmed, but I'm glad you enjoyed the learning process.
Sometimes simplified movesets are harder to play. SF and mk come to mind. King of fighters I haven't really played but there's only 3-4 buttons. Other 3D fighters I haven't played in so long and I'm not familiar with how combos are done.
Never watched tutorials and just played as I did. It took me 5 years to get to vindicator in T7 and get rid of the bulshittery I learn in the green ranks. If I had someone mentor me I would've reached the same rank half the time
Can you be my mental?
@@calebdolin3291 I'd be happy to offer a few advices. Just send me a youtube link or steam or w/e. I'm in Asia so the connection might be poor, though.
the big thing about doing something like this is willing to learn.
you went through many steps and adjustments.
The highest point of fighters IMO is learning.
Winning is only the result of what you have learned and losing is just an opportunity to learn how to get better.
Love this
I've been playing Tekken for as long as I can remember. I'm currently in the purple/blue ranks and my advice is simple. Learn the basics and I promise you will improve immediately. Blocking, punishing and movement. I cannot stress this enough lol. Don't waste your time like I did! Practice and you will have so much fun with this game. What a great video, especially for people who are not very familiar with FGs. Definitely earned a sub
Man I would love a follow up to this. Btw here’s a tip I learned. Sometimes players will intentionally shorten their combos when the opponent is near death, so they can’t access their rage drive/ art.
lots of begineers make the mistake of spamming their rage art as a panic move hoping to turn the tide of the fight. since almost all the rage arts are blockable, if you know what to do, then is an almost assured round.
@@Madheim777 all rage arts can be avoided
@@thechanglongwang yeah i know, i said almost all blockable since Akuma's is the only one where you have to jump to prevent it
@@Madheim777 yet you worded it as if it is guaranteed
@@Madheim777 geese rage art is also unblockable but you can duck it
Its a thing of beauty seeing a new player first understand the Tekken flow
1:04 “can you not jump in this game?” 💀 that’s the most smash player thing I’ve heard ever. That and “I love minors” or “I don’t shower”
Yo this video is great. As someone who picked up Tekken 7 a few years ago, I was one of those people who get stuck in Training Mode grinding combos for their few hours before straight up dropping the game. You've inspired me to give it another go and take some L's online and have some fun with it
It was really fin watching you learn the game from scratch. I liked the evolution from starting with one of the main characters (Kazuya) to switching to a character that gels more with you. I also liked the evolution of you learning what tactics worked and what didn't.
It shows that noctis was a really good addition as a guest character because 1)Its a character that is quite well known and 2) the character is easy to pick up and play so you can actually focus more on learning the actual game and less on learning the character.
I would like you to try Age of Empires 2 as a test. Its a fun game which can be quite daunting when first starting out.
With how menu moves Noctis has i'm gonna say no, he's better off picking Gigas
For real, the better learning caracther is Kazumi cause better sidestep and noctis is a FTTAWSBFTMA caracther
Combos, guaranteed follow ups, whiff punish, and punish launch punishable moves are important.
But I’ll also stress a good 50/50 game. You can easily get by on 50/50s, especially safer ones that knock down. You can bring 50/50 mentality to poking, mixing grabs with mids, etc.
Now this is getting advanced, but I’d get comfortable with jab, with 1,2 and df1. Try to punish with 1,2 when you’re unsure of block frames. 1,2 is better than a full 10 frame string if you’re not confident it will hit because if it gets blocked you’re safe. And if it hits you’ll be plus frames and very close depending on your character (being close can allow command throws). Also use these moves for poking/interrupting. **Learn to hit confirm them**. Learn the frames on hit, follow it with a mixup for people who block and frame trap people who mash. All this goes for dick jab too, but you only use this for interrupt (and it’s really good for that). If they are blocked, you’re like -2, you can side step or sidewalk, but don’t press buttons until you get the hang of it! It will negate the step all together if you press as their move is coming out, you must wait for the whiff then punish. If they don’t press anything no big deal, you can backdash and maybe get them to whiff, or no backdash and throw out a quick CH move because they’ll likely be ready to press when they see sidewalk into nothing.
These are fundamentals and what I find fun. In all honesty for T7 just learn frame tight offense/pressure and rush every opponent down no matter what.
as someone who was too intimidated to learn tekken, this video inspires me.
It depends on your character, then you know how to do the combos, even if you are a noob, I learned a few days ago and I was able to fight decently in the low ranked
Ohhh, well that's something new. I play Tekken quite competitively and seeing someone play in this perspective from the moment they start to learn the game - and playing within a timeframe is actually refreshing to see
Really, really cool, informative and enjoyable Video!
Very important things for beginners: don't let yourself be fooled by "Tierlists" or "Best Characters"... these lists are not for new players, but rather for veterans. Always at first, pick your characters by style or design, so you atleast are somewhat intrigued by the character itself. This was one of the best advice my friend gave me, that got me into Tekken. Also, don't try to force yourself to learn combos in the first couple of hours.
Especially in Tekken, you should at first try to step up your poke game, since the right pokes can give you huge life leads (except against Paul, there is no life lead against Paul KEKW). Also: don't be scared of side-stepping.
My go to plan to learn combos in new fighting games and overall learn new characters in certain fighting games: try to figure out how to do the moves of a combo (by themselves), try to figure out what the recovery times feel like, look at how much damage the moves do and try to put it together, piece by piece.
If you do a lot of missinputs, try focus on this first. Try to find out what habits you developed and if they maybe even correlate to your missinputs.
These are just really small tips but these could make a huge impact, atleast they did for me. Tekken is incredibly complex and is arguably even the most complex fighting game on the market. Everyone started like a total scrub in this game. I highly recommend the tutorial videos of AvoidingThePuddle if you want to get more insight on the core mechanics of this game.
Just seeing this video in my recommended and I was the Jin at 45:44 and I’m just, woah, LOL been quite a while since then, cool to see you got a video out of it!
It's super interesting to see Tekken through a beginners eyes. I've been playing Tekken for years and years and years. I do not remember what it was like when Tekken was brand new to me. Great video!!
Same man. And this is coming from a fellow smash player like Ludvix here.
Bruh took not arguably the easuest char in the game and couldnt past 1dan? U guys crazy or somethin? Get a life fr💀💀 this guy wont make it to grandmaster in 10y lmao and thats not a joke bc he left thw game already vc hes that bad😂
I never had the patience to git gud in Tekken so this was really cool. Good job, LoveDicks.
Through too much internet usage, my attention span has become low but idk why I always watch like whole 50-60 minutes videos which catch my interest. Really well made video, man. I aspire to become a good Tekken player like you too
As a new player i like getting spammed. It s actually one of the best things you can do to a new player. You force them to find a solution to the most simple things...if the game is balanced somewhat that is.
This content is pretty cool.
Will there be a 100-200 ranked battles??
You're bound to find more self doubts, little victories and a lot of surprises.
4:13 I would’ve loved to see his reaction to yoshis movelist lol. Thats my main with almost 200 moves
I would love to see you play Guilty Gear, it has a real tutorial that actually teaches you how to play the game, so I would be curious how much that would impact your learning. Also, for a lot of these fighting games, watching a couple high level tournament matches will teach you so much about the basics. Maybe half way through the 100 games you could take a pro match break and react to top level players? It would be pretty cool to see your reactions after having played the game for a while.
it took me 50 minutes to realize this is an hour long video. well done bro. really nice to see the thought process behind what you learn each game
As someone also new to playing tekken competitively I very much enjoyed this video and I hope lots of newbies watch this and feel inspired to play and Kazuya's hellsweep low is what you would call an un-reactable low because the start up frames are so fast so you pretty much have to guess if he's gonna go low or not but if you notice your opponent does the hellsweep a lot from neutral or when your waking up just stay blocking low in those situations and you'll get a big punish
the fact that you can pretty much just outspace Miguel but you chose to play like a grappler.
such accidental bm
seeing this reminds me of my first few hours into tekken 7. I started with Noctis too so I think you made a good call there as he's great for beginners. Also seeing you naturally side step left against Kazuya was 200 IQ.
Tekken's in game information is dogshit, but it has some of the best community resources I've seen on a character to character basis.
Look up a character on UA-cam and you'll come across 15 minute to 2 hour tutorials that cover everything notable about them, plus a healthy amount of beginner guides + theory.
Ludvix finally decided to try Kazuya after seeing those Ultimate combos
True!
Never expected Tekken content on this channel but I’m all for it! Love me some good ass Tekken
Noctis players:
13:54
Great video! It's really fun to watch someone learn something this new to them, I have one tip that you should consider learning about if you decide to try your hand at more fighting games:
Don't throw your full combos out when the opponents block because it generally leaves you more open, learn to watch when the first hits are blocked or not and stop attacking if they are, that way, you don't give your opponent a clear window to punish you and you can later mix up your approach while you have them waiting for their turn.
You did great though and you already have a good mindset for learning competitive games so I'm looking forward to see what's next!
Can’t believe they kazuya from smash ultimate to tekken 7
I really like this style. If you keep playing the game I wouldn’t mind seeing videos of you progressing further too :) good vid!
When I first started playing the game I was basically the opposite of you 😆 I learned big combos and what did the most damage first and learned poking/movement/punishing later, so this was interesting to see. Good video!
Awesome video! I remember my time back in those ranks eating hellsweeps and snake edges like it's a buffet. Lmao.
anyways, For those having a hard time remembering punishers. Just focus on two punishers as a start. your fastest Jab and your fastest launcher.
You block a move that's new to you?
launch punish it! It got blocked and didn't launch? Jab punish it next time. Your jab got blocked? Then it's a safe move.
Also remember to try duck highs, characters usually have different punishers after ducking or blocking lows called while standing moves (usually denoted in tekken notation as WS).
Once you got the hang of jab punishing and launch punishing (and doing the appropriate combos!) You can move on to adding more optimal punishers. Good luck out there!
love seeing people be interested in learning fgs
so many just write it off as being elitist and impossible to learn, just because they dont want to put in any effort
the way you learned from your experiences and used your resources to improve your learning process was pleasant and very mature compared to most newcomers
i love your stuff, keep going : ]
I absolutely love the really chill vibe this video had throughout. And it was really fun seeing you gradually get more and more used to Tekken. Would love to see more videos like this.
Always fun to see new players discover and learn the game.
Awesomely done and keep it up.
Very interesting video, I forget how T7 doesn't teach you a damn thing. One thing I noticed is that you consistently drop your combo whenever you land a screw attack, you kind of just freeze and let them get up. If you land a screw, thats when you do your combo ender.
This type of solo content is so different from your other content and it's just as good, if not better. Keep up the good work Ludvix!
When you were looking at combos in the training mode, you mentioned how hard it would be to remember the entire string. You can press the Y button, or whatever it's mapped to the bottom of the screen will tell you, and it will put the combo at the top of the training mode while outside the menu.
Been playing fighting games my whole life and it’s nice to see new people get into them especially tekken and would love to see more variety of fighting games on this channel, but in case you’re not aware there is a feature in tekken training mode that lets you watch a combo and see how it’s properly done and timing of the commands, and there is a feature that will display the combo on your screen letting you practice it without having to pause and look at the move list.
Are you talking about 7:35?
@@Ludvix Yeah my bad i guess i overlooked that part but there is also a function called "display in game" that will let you display the inputs on the top of your screen in practice mode letting you practice that specific combo or move input freely in game without having to constantly pause the game to look at the moves list, even having a "Reset" command that will reset both fighters to starting position should you mess up the combo, idk if you knew about "Punishment Training mode" bc i didnt see it in the video but basically the game will recommend the best attacks for punishing character specific moves, basically does all the frame data math for you. This video was quite long so you may already know about these things but in case you werent i wanted to let you know bc it really helped me out a lot with practicing and stepping up the combo game lol. You can even set up specific situations like against wall/balcony break, wakeup attacks, etc.
@@andrewrader4408 40:45 i do the punishment mode, the other stuff u mentioned thats good stuff def will keep it mind thanks for letting me know :)
@@Ludvix No problem chief hope to see more tekken 👍
So tekken prowess is a ROUGH indicator of how much experience that player has. Also the color of the name is effected by the tekken prowess. I think it goes a blue outline, then yellow-green, then a red outline, and the farthest I’ve seen is a purple outline (which most pros have). That law that got 6 matches off you, had a red name so he was definitely smurfing.
It was really inteesting to see what a New player experience going into Tekken is like. Your mindset was perfect and you succesfully understood the basics of the game without any help and this is great.
Thanks to you we can clearly see that tekken lacks a tutorial... i hope Tekken 8 fix that.
Also, with your mindset, you could have reached a MUCH higher rank with the help of a "coach" or if you watched begginner video on youtube. But that wasnt the point, i get that. It was really frustrating to see you struggle and sometime reaching a wrong conclusion only because the game doesnt teach you anything to be good at it... i really enjoyed watching your Journey, thank you !
Just reached the end. Noctis is one of my favorite characters to play in this game, I think he's a really smart design that is fun for all skill levels. It was very interesting to see someone coming to realizations about the mechanics and what tools seemed good. Cool video.
I had to lose over a 1000 games just to understand tekken once and for all... yet im still garbage. That's why i love this game, whenever you improve it feels so rewarding.
Congratz, you over 20 ranks left, difficulty jumps real quick.
Noctis actually is just marth fr minus tippers, there was a move you used that looked just like his forward air haha
The smash to tekken pipeline is real, few years back I picked up tekken and 1500 hours in I still love it
I swear this is such a common thing. Same thing except I came from ult as opposed to melee
I love this. This brought me back to my first 100 hours of the game when I knew nothing and not as competitive as today.
i got baited in to trying to learn tekken by this video, not even close to easy ☠️ negan spammers and smurfs got low ranks on lock
Thx for telling not playing this game 😂.
Diving into Tekken for the first time is daunting for sure but you did pretty decently! If there's one thing Tekken 7 is severely lacking it's training tools, though practice mode is still invaluable. Watching tutorials was basically a must when I hit a beginner plateau of my own, there's so much legacy tech that you can only learn through the community or analyzing replays.
"I cheesed 100 games in tekken by playing Noctis * "
35:30 after you taunted him he gave you the business. 😂😂😂
that intiate kazuya has his EWGFs inputs down lmao
I think more Smash players should try Tekken. I found it easier to get into than other fighting games because there’s waaaay less of an air game (until you fight Akuma lol). And I feel like less bad habits from Smash carried over.
Gosh! Been playing Tekken since 2001 and yet I learned alot from watching this!! New subscriber here! Thank you! 🥰
Amazing seeing you pick up Tekken because it was said to be hard
Respect it
Game 1: Bad.
Game 100: Still bad.
game 1 : bad
game 100: better than game 1
"I played 100 games in tekken as a noob"
*Plays as kazuya
Yep this guy is gonna have a difficult time
This is a good video for all of those out there that like to stay in training mode forever and rarely take matches online because they feel they don't know their character enough.
I have seen rage arts together, but a trade to a KO from the first hit is very impressive stuff 33:20
Beautiful content!
Will we see a 100 games of Street Fighter 6 when that game comes out?
Yea
Plan on getting into SF6 too
Goteeeem now
i just started this game recently too :) I really like dragonuv, he seems to get to mash alot on people blocking
Imagine if this dude made a video showing his journey playing and learning Dead Or Alive? That'd be something 💀
Learning a game in 100 games is tough, but i like watching a player enter a new fighting game and learning. I think an easier game to learn while still having a nice diff curve to it would be Guilty Gear Strive. Keep up the good work homie, as a Tekken player this was cool to see.
It really was a great insight in seeing how a new comer sees a game which for me, who has been playing tekken since tekken 3, is a standard for fighting game. Great video!
I never played fighting games seriously, I was so happy the first time I did a EWGF or a combo because I genuinely thought I would never learn either.
It is so much easier than what your brain makes it out to be, just practice hard and take breaks when you’re tired.
Also don’t only try one character, I learnt devil Jin first but then realized I liked normal Jin better.
This was a great video! It was great seeing how you would analyse situations (sometimes after the fact) and adapt with something you learned earlier. It also reminded me how of all fighting games, the hardest one has no tutorial, this is such a problem with fighting games man. Hopefully Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 fix this. I also know the pain of learning so much but still being at the beginner ranks, you learn that with Tekken the learning never ever stops.
If you'd like some feedback on this type of video though, I think these videos could maybe be shorter (40m max?) or just structured/edited a bit more as it's a bit of commitment to watch and a little dry. A conclusion at the end of the stuff you learned, thoughts about the game, struggles, what felt good/bad, recommendations, what you'd do different etc. would be great. Also, maybe playing a noob friend at the end before and after your grind would be a fun thing to do. Could also have an experienced player comment on how you've improved.
btw when ur opponent does a combo on you, theres a thing where if you spin onto the ground they basically get free reign to continue a combo; the time to tech off the ground from a spin takes a long time
THAT WAS MORE HELPFUL FOR A BEGINNER LIKE ME THEN EVERY OTHER "BEGINNER" VID! I started as well idk what they all meant with db2 b1 ect. I also was overwhelmed by the amount of combos... and i rememberd like 25-30% before my first Match and then went in and failed everything. Just doin basics learn 1-2 moves get them to remember use and THEN learn the next one and do the same is soo mutch smarter. Thank you for that. Only because i can remember Things fast doesnt mean i know how to use it. So this makes more sence
It also took me way longer than it should to learn what to do when characters are flat on the ground. It completely changed to your game when you do though.
At first it all seems really daunting but so much becomes second nature when you play/practice enough!
You did awesome! Your analysis of your games is sooo on point. You would become (with time) a very good Tekken player
GJ mate,u learn pretty fast bc u want to learn:D i think i played around 1500-2000 games and i know Jin and Joshimitsu,but i didn’t learn frame things. After this vid i will learn it because it’s more important than i tought
Hey there! Would you consider continuing this series? Like... Maybe ranking up to the green and/or yellow ranks?
Green rank is just above Grandmaster and I think it's realistic for you to reach those ranks. I think a lot of us Tekken players would love to watch your journey.
Please and thank you.
And it's completely fine if you're not feelin' it. No pressure. 👍
as a tekken veteran watching a new player trying tekken for the first time gives me so much cringe i can't even explain it. but in the other hand gives me joy to see others suffer like i did.
amazing video for people learning Tekken's basics, as a Hworang main since 3 I totally approve
I do indeed love the Tekken 4 ambience music at the beginning
I watched the whole thing. Well that was fun to watch battling a 1st Dan then say 1st Dan's are so bad 😂 when you come back down there for like 3 times.
homie started jumping😂
I love the quality of the mics you use while playing, like seriously!
The greatest challenge for me in tekken is fighting on the left side
Maybe how many games it'll take you to get Mentor once more as a different character you find yourself interested in? Loved watching you fight the Steves btw, I'm a Steve main myself. Great content.
Love seeing new people come to tekken really good video
Its really fun to see your progression in each fight💯🔥and using Noctis, especially when you fought against people that goes hard like Steve😂
This video is perfect to bring more people to Tekken
I got into tekken for the first time about a year ago. Spent soooo much time in practice mode, finally hit ranked and got worked regardless up to a certain point. I had lots of shining moments, but my defense is what really made me struggle.
Made it to around 3rd Dan and kinda stopped playing. Seeing a learning player work their way up and getting a higher rank than I did is pretty encouraging. It’s all a process, especially with a complicated game such as tekken
All about the journey and loving the feeling when u learn something new :) not the rank/ end goal. If we just immediately got like top 500 player in 1 day would it really be fun?
Hey man, this was a great video. I recently got into tekken too, and I was very intimidated to say the least lol. But seeing you go through these games like this was amazing and I loved hearing your little insights. Honestly, seeing the gradual improvement is so much more interesting and engaging than some kind of tutorial video lol. Thanks for this, and great job!
The thing about tekken is when you're facing with an unfamiliar matchup such as the negan at the end, you might not get the full picture about the certain character, that guy was just spamming either slow moves (because negan has some faster alternatives) or he just mashed into every + frames you had.
