Here is your Starter Guide for Jack-8 in Tekken 8! This should get you from zero to intermediate pretty much right off the bat if not even better. Jack is a very big boy, but don't confuse him for the standard fighting game biig boy mold, he's actually a master of poking and low-level mixups, although his new tekken 8 stance lets him do a lot of the usual ignorant big boy stuff! So enjoy the vid and all its breakdowns/strats/combos and give it a watch! Like if ya liked it, and let me know what you think
Great video, very in depth, only things I saw were maybe you forgot to mention the high evasion d1+2 which I think is important move and I don't think you mentioned the launching grab in the grab game section
Thank you so much! You don't know how much videos like this help, especially when your new to Tekken! Keep these coming! I know I won't be the only person videos like these help!
You put in so much work, it is endlessly appreciated. I just hope you don't burn yourself out, this last six months must have been murder with all these huge releases. Thank you for all you do!
like honestly? Pretty much. Especially after spark upper after combos got taken away. Jack can't really gimmick you out, he beats you by just being better
Just finished it. Thank you so much for having the inputs on, showing your combo notation, slowing things down so we can see and understand it, and explaining the character's gameplan in the beginning (I had literally no idea he was a fundamentals/poking damage) and how to use the pokes, as well as what they're called in the move list.
There’s such a bad tendency in Tekken guides to hide inputs. Between that and the fact that they refuse to use a wiki and would rather hide everything in obscure, difficult-to-find google docs pages, you’d think they don’t WANT you to learn their game
As a newcomer to Tekken (well, sort of, I played a little of Tekken 2 with my brother when I was a little kid), Jack honestly looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Big man with a straightforward poke-centric playstyle and funny armor moves
One thing that I love in Jack as a complete beginner that if you experiment a little, a lot of combos that do 80-90% of the most optimal combo's damage are extremely easy to input.
Definitely the best Tekken 8 character guide channel . Thank u for highlighting the characters best moves instead of going though every single one of them which 85% of each characters moves aren’t even used .
Your Honda guide helped me get into Plat with him in SF6. I picked up T8 recently and was thinking of maining Jack and you post this. Couldn't be a better time! Thank you. Keep up the great work 🙌
This is genuinely the best and most in depth guide I've seen in forever, at least for a guide with beginners in mind. I love that you not only went over different moves and their uses, but also repeated multiple times what the inputs were and just generally made everything very clear. Usually guides miss out on something, whether it be inputs, when to use certain moves, frame data, or even just clarity. This one checks every single box, and does it in a very respectable amount of time. Keep it up dude!
I pick up jack just for fun cause I like the noises he makes, I'm no sure but it sounds like he says "YEAAH" when you pick him I the character select and I say "yeah" right with him while flexing like him, never played him before and I ended up doing decent (he's not my main) and this video will certainly help. P.s might play yoshimitsu too I like the sounds he makes also
Congrats on almost 2k vids Roofle! Been watching your content for years, and you’ve always been a font of positivity and knowledge. Wouldn’t have gotten into fighting games without your content. Tekken being my second game, I’ve been very excited to learn it through your videos :) thanks for everything you do!
Great guide. A couple stance details that seemed to not be mentioned: 1) his powered up Gamma 2 also becomes a Power Crush, in addition to the other things you mentioned, and 2) you can do crouch grabs from stance, one of which is a Heat Engager (and you can combo into it from F3+4 on hit).
This is my 1,999th video on youtube! Next video will be #2000. I guess I have put out quite a bit of these over the years huh? Unless there is breaking news the next and 2000th video will be the Kuma & Panda guide cause the memes are most important thing and someone needs to fight for the bear cause. Anyways come on 1999 videos gimmie the like and subscribe already!
Comprehensively done as usual. I especially appreciate the formatting. Particularly with tekken for whatever reason, so much putatively "educational" content is just stream vod with someone talking over it, or combo video with inputs and frame counter off + no notation. We appreciate the effort you put in, big thanks. Also, I didn't consider the implications of the juiced stance moves (from heat) on df21d. That tidbit from the last combo alone is going in the "to lab" notes for later
Awesome, I've been having a great time with Jack but have been getting... destroyed pretty hard while trying to get up and misusing my range. Hope I can fix some of those issues here.
Since there is no Marduk at Tekken 8 Jack 8 is now my main aaaaaaand wow, what a great Jack 8 guide from you!!! I really appreciate it a lot, thank you so much!!!
I already see everyone praising you in the comments so I'll skip this step and just thank you. I wanted to play Jack but felt overwhelmed learning a new character. Thanks to you, orange rank already ;)
I am completely rutheless with Jack 8. I realized that i’ve been playing him ane yoshimitsu in various Tekken releases longer than some of the ppl i play against online have been alive
Was wondering if you had a video on Jack's wall combos and heat combos. This video literally helped me learn jack in about an hour. Thanks for the content. You're always my go to creator for FGC.
@rooflemonger true, true, tho f3 has good frames on its own, has extensions to condition opponents too, and I'm mostly just sad that kuma/panda don't have any just good and fast on-block stance transitions at all even in this game :( so I value these kinda moves pretty highly
I have a big question here, that is not really a Jack question, but more of a fundamental Tekken question. When you brought up using f,f+4 after the counter hit f+2, I realized that I have no idea what will hit grounded opponents and why. Is there some way to determine for any given character which moves work on grounded targets? It seems like most (all?) lows work, but f,f+4 is a mid, I think.
Great content rooflemonger i love your channel. I am a Jack main as well. Been playing Jack since tekken 3. I actually have some videos my channel. I would love some feedback from you on how i can improve my gameplay. Right now I'm just playing on past knowledge and instincts
im not the best guy for feedback at the moment. I have barely actually properly played the game yet, just tons of lab grinding and video editing. When I finally get out there and play I feel im gonna be so far behind lol
That's a cool ideai didn't think of, android 16.. I was like what could i turn Jack 8 into? I ended up making him into the kingpin. There is no cane, so i used the honey comb stick and attempted to make it look like a diamond.
I have seen a lot of imitation since the launch of tekken 8 of my specific style of guides and... I got mad at first, but seeing how poorly they are done compared my my stuff eventually just made me laugh
Im trying really hard to learn jack but every single match i go into is just an absolute stomp. If i play too defensive and just chip people down, i get rushed the second i make a mistake and loose all of my health in 1 to 2 combos. If I try to play a more aggressive style, I get counter hit out of every single attack i throw out and just get juggled to death again. If i try to play the mid game or keep away, again the second i make a single mistake or bad read i loose all of my health in 1 combo. Idk what to do. Guilty gear strive was is my very first fighting game and i dedicated almost 100 practical hours into just learning potemkin, so jack was a pretty easy pick for me. His big, hes silly, and he has the chance to do a ridiculous ammount of damage with simple hits. And yet I cant land a single attack. Im at a wall and i dont know how to get past it, and it makes it really discouraging to want to keep learning this game...
This is my first tekken game ever and ive had a very difficult time trying to wrap my head around everything would u say jack is a good character for someome trying to learn this game ?
yeah that leak was 100% fake, it was an easy fake too I made my own the exact same way. Shame so many people fell for it, you can do it yourself in 5 minutes with inspect element. Datamining unlike that fake, is real.
@@rooflemonger you responded to the wrong guy but are you talking about the big one that came out like a week ago with the entire first 6 characters leaked or something?
After the f1,2,1 in these combos, how are you connecting the f3 knee? I keep getting a running knee that doesn't cancel to Gamma Howl when I try to dash and finish up with the f3 into GH4

Probably orange/red ranks@@bbyjohn11

Thank you so much! You don't know how much videos like this help, especially when your new to Tekken! Keep these coming! I know I won't be the only person videos like these help!
you forgot to go over his most important move down back 3 4 3 4 3 4 this is critical knowledge
the D1+2 throw from that is actually pretty good since it's usually blocked not parryed :)
Oh that's that kosack dance kinda thing right?
You put in so much work, it is endlessly appreciated. I just hope you don't burn yourself out, this last six months must have been murder with all these huge releases. Thank you for all you do!
its been rough last few months yeah lol, but gotta get the harvest while the sun shines
the most HONEST character. no crazy combos, nor crazy strings, nor crazy pls frames. just POKE

I'm liking the format on these character guides. Very digestible for how much information you cover.
wow i was just searching for a Jack guide and you posted literally 7 minutes ago lmao.
Love your vids so much man thank you
Jack is my favourite big boy along side Broly and victor from Darkstalkers. Always love to watch these guides
Thank you! Was hoping for either Jack or Kuma/Panda. Thankful to see we get both.
One thing that I love in Jack as a complete beginner that if you experiment a little, a lot of combos that do 80-90% of the most optimal combo's damage are extremely easy to input.

You timed this well. I was literally checking your channel yesterday to see if you had a guide already and was surprised wasn’t one. But here it is
I was already thinking about maining Jack because he looks funny and this guide pushed me over the edge
Unbelievably comprehensive, Amazing.
you literally upload this when i randomly decide to play jack and it's you so it's gonna be good!

As a Kuma player this makes Jack look like a lot of fun! This is the trade speed for range pokes I am missing from Kuma lol
this guide gets better the more you watch it ... damn
Thanks man, this is hands down the best guide out there! Time Stamps, Inputs and great explanation - keep it going!
Now that I’ve mastered your Jin guide…
I’m ready for jack 😂
Thanks man I appreciate you taking the time to teach us small timers

Been doing well with Jack in ranked.
Great job 👏 Very nice tutorial for me being a beginner! Jack 8 is one of three characters I’m learning fundamentals with! Should be fun!

great guide, Jack is definately a beast in T8, found a little more dmg from WR1 combo with WR1, U1+2, 4, B1, F121, F3, D4
been a couple days, and this video has converted me to a Jack-8 player, 'tis great fun.
My top 11th move, back 1+2
Awesome, I've been having a great time with Jack but have been getting... destroyed pretty hard while trying to get up and misusing my range. Hope I can fix some of those issues here.

This was what I was waiting for! Thank you so much!
I'm back again for another big boi guide
1:25 dude the coffee girl just randomly flossing sent me lmao
Im playing lee and devil and jack has been a nightmare lmao those normals are insane man 😂😂😂
More Tekken 8 guides, 🙏.
They must be a pain to make so know we appreciate you and the high quality guides
(Now these are the Tekken contents I have been waiting for!) x ENTIRE ROSTER!
I already see everyone praising you in the comments so I'll skip this step and just thank you.
I wanted to play Jack but felt overwhelmed learning a new character.
Thanks to you, orange rank already ;)
His moveset is so insane, both in terms of frames and especially damage
How'd you change Jacks boot and hand metal colors at 40:00? Didn't see anything in the customization
Jack is elegant in his simplicity. It feels good playing straight up sometimes
I am completely rutheless with Jack 8. I realized that i’ve been playing him ane yoshimitsu in various Tekken releases longer than some of the ppl i play against online have been alive
The video started auto playing so when I clicked it I was 8 seconds in. Your vids just aren't the same unless I hear your greeting and welcome!
Ty soo much loving this tekken character guides
The shoulder was a Gigas attack. You'll notice that when his visor flashes, he's using a "scanned" move. Nice touch
TY bro! it helped a lot to my noob jack irl friend)
Just started the video😯....this is s9me good stuff, can't wait to finish it. Automatic sub👍🏾🔥
Was wondering if you had a video on Jack's wall combos and heat combos. This video literally helped me learn jack in about an hour. Thanks for the content. You're always my go to creator for FGC.

Thanks heaps for the guide! It's great quality and really easy to watch 😊. Would love to see one on ling. Looking forward to others that you do!
Thank you for this guide!! :)
Love your content, Thank you for all of your effort
F3 is probably a move good enough to be in the top 10 moves imo, both f3 extensions and gamma howl transitions are almost crucial
all the stance stuff handled in its own sections, didn't want it detracting from the top 10 concept
@rooflemonger true, true, tho f3 has good frames on its own, has extensions to condition opponents too, and I'm mostly just sad that kuma/panda don't have any just good and fast on-block stance transitions at all even in this game :( so I value these kinda moves pretty highly
I love your purple customs so much
I always take care for the purple customs to look decent, as it is simply the best colour
Every Video you made, makes me want to fire up the Game. These Videos are Great! You Rock! 👊😎💯🔥
30:59 the drip!
Amazing guide! i will lab him soon and try to hit purples ranks with him too
Great guide, going to try to main him after hitting garyu with King :)
I love you man!
Android 16 Jack is not the thing I knew I needed in my life lol.
Hey, loved this, any chance of an Azucena guide?
