      And his description is also slightly off.
      You RELEASE the forward on the first active frame then the next two inputs are just-frames.
      So you can hold forward for 55f or whatever so long as you release it on the first active frame.

    Three inputs within three consecutive frames. It is not simply the timing that's hard due to one frame links. It is the absurd speed at which the inputs have to be performed that makes perfect EWGF so hard.

    • @zonk834
      @zonk834 3 місяці тому +1

      Yes it is the combination of both. The timing itself could be somewhat consistent but the speed of the input is most likely what makes you miss the timing.
      The speed should be practiced first in my opinion- timing comes when the speed is second nature.

    The thing with df2 pewgf is, while electric inputs are not bufferable, you dont necessarily need a perfect one frame forward. Your first forward input can be however many frames u want it to be, as long as u let go of it one frame after recovery.
    This might seem the same, but any input has two parts, pressing and letting go. You can get some leniency, but u still need to let go at the perfect time

    The first Foward input should be on the 47th frame from when you PRESS the df+2 (Include the first frame of df+2 when you count). Also, it's 3 just frames but you can input forward during recovery frames so it's more about timing when you go to Neutral (Or down depending on which version you do).

  • @Slime-zq8hb
    @Slime-zq8hb 3 місяці тому

    For everyone who wants a command history, it's not really what you need, what you want is the exact timing to hit the electric on. Turns out that with a stable 60 fps the frame you have to hit the neutral/down input on the PEWGF is 48, that means that you need to input the neutral on the PEWGF exactly 47 frames after you *start* pressing df2, and it has to be exactly one frame long
    A trick I've not seen anyone mention is that, since you can't buffer inputs during df2's animation, you can actually hold the forward input after you hit df2, and now instead of pressing forward for exactly one frame (which I find a lot more difficult) you can time the release with the 47th frame after the df2, this could just be a preference thing but I find releasing a button at the right frame way easier than pressing it for exactly one frame and releasing it

    @ParkourGrip 3 місяці тому

    There are no secret tricks to make learning it easier? How about using command history to figure out what you are doing wrong and focusing on one aspect of the move at the time. This is literary how i learned T->JU in T7. However i had to use tekken bot prime command history to review my inputs back then. Now in T8 the frame perfect command history is there, no mods required. For example when when learning T->JU you first make sure you can do T->b4. T->b4 teaches you the timing when you need to start inputting a frame perfect JU. After that you focus on inputting a frame perfect JU without taunt. That means one frame of forward input, one frame of neutral, and however many frames of b2 input. You use the command history to make sure you can do it frame perfect just throwing it out in neutral. After that you just combine the timing of T->b4 with a frame perfect JU input. I'm sure kazuya players can come up with steps of progression that are similar to this but for prefect electrics.

  • @giusepperesponte8077
    @giusepperesponte8077 16 днів тому

    Here’s a description of this for people who don’t know tekken terminology:
    The first input has a timing window that’s 1/60th of a second long, then 1/60th of a second after that input, you need to do another input which you have 1/60th of a second to do, then another 1/60th of a second after the second input, you need to do 2 inputs at the same time within 1/60th of a second. Everything I just described must be executed in 1/20th of a second total. Anything less than absolute perfection means the perfect electric won’t come out.

    @damastah100 3 місяці тому

    Like the other comments have mentioned, as of T8 you can "buffer" the first forward of either f,d,df2 or f,n,df2 from the forward of the df2(if your PEWGF application is after the usual CH df2 > PEWGF) to make it a smidge easier(but a bit awkward in a real match scenario), but the other inputs of the PEWGF are still JFs. Also this trick will obviously not help with stuff like punishing a -13 move with PEWGF so you should still learn it the proper way IMO.
    On that note, I'd argue that a block punishment PEWGF on a -13 move is even harder than CH df2 > PEWGF lol.
    Also another hot take, Paul's df2 > 3x qcf1 is harder than CH df2 > PEWGF lol.

Therefore it doesn't train you on the exact frame you need to input. You could input 5f early and think you nailed it. It's a waste of time. Using the blue display for frame advantage is literally better.

    Main Man please make a Video on the regular Jet Upper in Tekken 8. It is bufferable as you said but in this game i often get b2 instead of fb2 if executed quickly. I also have seen many top level players who got cheated out of a block punish or sidestep Jet Upper. What is the deal with that and why did it feel much more intuitive in Tekken 7? I cant always wait for the neutral input. It slows everything down too much!

      @warriorkoyla1407 3 місяці тому +1

      To always get the neutral input for f,n,b+2 and not get f,b+2 skipping neutral , this is how to do it, input the f,n,b+2 as fast as possible as you normally do but once you done the input immediately release the lever or pad super quickly, this will insure you get the neutral everytime no matter how fast you input f,b+2. So the key is to let go of the lever or pad as quickly as you can once you have done your f,b motion to insure you get f,n,b+2. Good luck plz let me know if it worked for you. Thanks

    For the sake of those that are just getting into practising this:
    The second PEWGF input MainMan referred to is f, n, df2. This input is also 13f and will give you the df2 -> PEWGF launch.
    From my experience (I am a novice compared to MainMan's Kazuya community), I found the f, n, df2 easier on pad (I use an Xbox One X/S controller - cannot stand PS pads, sorry folks) and f, d, df2 easier on stick (I use a Mayflash F500 Elite, which uses a Japanese stick and buttons from Sanwa on an octo-gate 'cos square-gate is weird).
    Happy practising everyone. Thanks for the video MainMan.

    @SSJ_EWGF 3 місяці тому +1

    Hey MainMan, So at this point I've gone used to 13 frame electrics or at least ones where according to the input history, all my inputs are coming out within 1 Time frame of whatever measuring format they're using, and I've been able to hit PEWGFs More and more in games, although they're still inconsistent.
    My biggest problem right now though. Ironically enough is using it to punish someone on block, cuz even though I know for sure that my electrics are fast enough to count as a i13 move, my block punishes for launchers and other unsafe moves there are -13 and under either comes out as a df2 (probably cuz I input it too early and the forward motion didn't go through) or an Electric but they block it anyways (cuz I prob did it too late So even though it's it's the fastest one, the opponent was given too much time to recover).
    Do you got any advice for me or even just attacking after blocking a punishable attack in general? I think what's causing me to mess up even when is something a little pushback like a blocking the opponents 112 (kazuya, Reina), Is that I'm not too sure when my character fully recovers from the blocking animation and when exactly is the earliest opportunity to input an attack or even a movement.
    Cuz with electric specifically, I keep messing up a bunch of punishes where I try to go for a launch with it but end up just either inputting a df2 which at worst case scenario makes me the one who's going to get launched, or in most other cases, it results in a blocked electric which isn't terrible but is not why I want.

    • @ChefPomme
      @ChefPomme 3 місяці тому +4

      I know I'm not MMSWE but my advice for electrics is that if you treat it like a consistent tool, you're going to be disappointed. The fact is that electrics are best used to punish -15 and higher moves and whiffs.
      Could you have insane execution and land PWEGFs punishes in practice, thus in theory launch punish -13 and -14 moves? Sure. But I promise you that the damage you are losing out on by messing up such difficult punishes is wayyyy lower than what you can get by using B1,2,112,df3,3 hell even f4.
      Kaz is a character with great punishment but that's only one of his strengths, his mixups and movement also make him very strong and his easier more consistent punishes allow him to utilize them. Electrics just give you combos and wall carry.
      Watch the high level Kaz players, virtually none of them use electrics to punish -13 and -14 moves. They use them as keep out and whiff punishes mainly.
      There isn't really any tips to do what you're talking about as it's just not meant to happen consistently, otherwise Kaz would be the best character, bar none.

    • @smurfdaddy420

      simple fact is most of the time its just not worth going for a 14 frame electric punish because 99% of the time it wont work. electric punishes should be used for -15 and above, and even then its still extremely difficult and it would be more consistent to punish with something else. -17 is whats preferable for an electric punish.

    • @raveelemental4928
      @raveelemental4928 3 місяці тому +1

      You have to remember Electrics can't be buffered, so you'd have to find the specific timing of whatever move or string you're trying to punish. By that, I mean you have to figure out exactly when the blockstun ends and you're actionable again.

      @@hatto I played leverless for two years before switching to lever permanently. and honestly although almost everything is easier in leverless and some things, even very stupid ones, are excessively hard on lever (like stepping/walking to the background), I find wavedashing and electrics/pewgf way more consistent than on leverless (I used a hitbox). that's because the lever allows you to turn the inputs into specific... "hand coreography", I don't know how to put it. for example, the only difference between ewgf, pewgf, dash ewgf, deep dash ewgf and etc on leverless is the timing which you press the buttons. on lever, you do slight different movements, with much more consistent results as the inputs will always be aligned with the lever's trajectory. for example, I do dash electrics on p2 by pressing foward twice with my thumb and then sliding the lever through down and down foward with my fingers "embracing" it and closing on my fist. which means that every time I do this movement with my hand, I will get exactly double foward, down, down foward. on leverless, of course you can train your consistency by practicing, but it depends on the timing. your fingers operate individually and you can mess the timing this way, which makes in my opinion wavus, kbd, electrics and etc way less consistent, although it's very easy. I mean, it's rare to see people competing on sf with levers today, but on tekken a LOT of pros still use it. which means that it must have some advantages over leverless. I find leverless WAY better to play non-mishima characters, though. but although the adaptation process is VERY long and VERY painful, it definitely becomes a competitive control scheme for playing mishimas with time
