Hey Sizwe, I think it's definitely important to learn the right way rather than just racking up the wins. Wins mean nothing if in the end you don't have fundamentals. I'm glad I could help assist you in learning the fundamentals and the right way to approach the game.
Dude,u can enjoy when you playin Tekken with friends and beers..There are no fun and joy at high levels-it's just mindtrick from more skilled frea.._players.Like in anything else there always are people who just practicin over and over day after day with no regular fuck to become some kind of masters in some shit.Tekken is same bullshit.Nerves comes first, so don't waste your time on this shit.I do not.
Thanks for actually teaching. Thousands of beginner videos are there not a single one of them are about teaching beginner they are all about teaching an expert or a master. Thanks for actually going into the detail.
One thing I noticed, though I'm late to playing Tekken seriously (as opposed to casually), is that no matter how many killer combos you have or how many electrics you can throw out, you'll always get wrecked without the fundamentals. Glad I watched this video.👌
I'm pretty late to the party but I wanted to say getting a clear, concise explanation of the movement and then a practice drill to use to help reinforce the concepts and see tangible improvement is SUPER helpful. Thanks a ton for taking the time to do this!
I just came across this playlist by searching "Wake Up Options Tekken 7" because I hadn't seen any tutorials going into depth with it. I picked up Tekken a few days ago, as the pandemic has left me plenty of time to start learning it. I'm glad I happened upon your playlist.
Glad I could help! Sorry to get back to you so late Joseph White. I have had so much going on these days that I don't have as much time to get back to you viewers in the comments. Thanks a lot man :)
Hey Brien Bailey! Thank you so much for taking notice of the channel and I really hope it helps you out man! It's a hard game, but very rewarding too. :) Join the discord if you have any questions!
I actually watched this video until the end and even had a pen and paper taking notes because I actually want to learn this game to the core. This was very informational and you did a a great job. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos.
@@PeterYMao Yeah, I peeped the playlist. I have it saved, going to watch the second video tonight! Oh and I subscribed to you as well, you deserve more credit.
I've been into tekken 7 for a year and a half. But honestly even if i reached Mighty Ruler there where a lot of things that where kind of clunky in my gameplay, movement is one of them and i think this video, even if it doesn't talk about KBD, is so usefull because there is noone in the game who tells you how to approach the game and this is one of those things you need to learn if you want to be good at tekken, Good Job man really.
Wow, thanks for the compliment. Yeah, I don't talk about KBD as I don't think it is worth the time for a beginner to learn it immediately, eventually they will need to learn it for sure. I think between learning combos, key moves, rage, low parrying, blocking, and hit properties just basic back dashing, side stepping, side walking, forward dashing is good enough to get them started.
Started playing this week and browsed abunch of guides but none clicked yet until I hit this one. Gonna stick with this series, the pace is perfect thank you
Dude, I just got into tekken and your tutorials helped me win my first few matches against stronger opponents. I don't normally comment, subscribe or like a video, but this time I feel compelled to. Please don't stop creating, hopefully fighting games will make a booming comeback with Riot's project L and I wanna see more of your videos, tekken or not
Thanks @PeterYMao I appreciate this content. When I first tried to learn Tekken 7 as Jin Kazama who was the character that has always interested me I got caught up with people telling me to learn the Korean Backdash Cancels and Frame Data right away and I was completely confused where as I feel your videos will help me learn the game mechanics at my own pace and not be too overwhelmed with those Tekken Engine exclusivities right away.
Really helpful and well made guide. I wanted to refresh my movement in tekken and I actually ended up learning some new things from this video! This is a must watch for anyone new to this game.
As a new to tekken player I appreciate these sort of "fundamentals" videos. It seems a lot more useful to learn how and what, rather than just copy whathever moves and combos people are showing into your head.
This is really nice way to explain the 3D aspect of Tekken which is quite diffrent in many other fighting games. Even as a long time Tekken player, I find myself neglecting things like side stepping once in a while, which can single handedly lose you the game if you dont use it for certain match ups like the Mishimas.
Teaching the principles of the game with clear and concise demonstrations. You have earned yourself another sub. Thanks for posting, I have not played Tekken regularly since Tekken 2 (preferred 2 over 3), just bought Tekken 7 this afternoon, need a refresher. Looking forward to watching all of your Tekken series and putting them into practice.
@@PeterYMao it wasn't just helpful, i'm coming back to it 3 years later. your series is the base of basics :)). i showed your series to a friend a he learned tekken from it, and not she's kicking my ass with fundamentals. so i had to come back to it. your stuff is the stuff man.
I casually play on and off and needed a quick resource to jump back into the game. Great stuff, will be sure to check out the other videos in this series and recommend to my friends :)
Took a break from Tekken 7, getting back into it. I previously commented on this exact video before and let me just say I still have my notes because these guides are just what I’m looking for. It’s funny because I’m learning Kazumi.. let the binge *begin*
Don't know if you still checking these old videos, but thanks for your patience in teaching. I've started to follow your Bryan's guide, but I think he is still high level to me... So decided to pick Jack (I'm kind of person that is always searching for a main) and learn fundamentals. Again, thanks man ! These kind of videos push me to continue playing.
Of course I check the comments. The way UA-cam works is new comments I can see perfectly fine. However, if people reply to chains of existing comments I can't see them. Regardless, I'm happy you found the videos and they help you. If you stay with Jack, I think I might have something your way ;). Maybe... we'll see. Anyways, best of luck man. Happy you chose Tekken. Peace out my man.
Thanks so much for sharing your understanding! Just downloaded T7 whilst waiting eagerly to play T8... Been a long time since I've played a fighting game, so these videos are perfect :)
Just recently switched to the stick after being a lifelong pad player. I must say my button inputs are a lot more accurate but my movement has slowed down considerably. This guide will help me out a lot!
Ali l I recommend the Mayflash F300 for your beginner stick. I have it and it’s a decent start up stick. The stock parts are great for its price but you can upgrade it with Sanwa parts in the future too.
Your playlist is by far the best what happened to me. I'm late at the party aswell, and I'm stuck at Mentor+/- 2 Rankings 😆 I started with the frame data Video, but this playlist will definitely help to improve my Tekken experience. Thanks for your nice explanations Peter!
I have dabbled a little with Feng. I actually quite like him. He is very solid of a character in my opinion, especially because of his whiff punishers. If you have a chance check out the space and whiff punish. I use Feng as a means of demonstrating that.
Thanks that was very informative ! I just started playing Tekken more seriously so those videos are really helpful Hope to see similar videos for Tekken 8 !
This was definitely helpful! Especially the practicing until it’s second nature. Just recently switched from a pad to a stick, so that was a nice reminder 🙏🏽
Absolutely. When switching over from pad to stick, the most important thing to keep in mind is it is just a matter of time. Honestly, just a matter of time.
Lovely video on the topic. Thank you a lot. I am struggling with this still after 250 hrs of Tekken. Especially with the cleanliness and speed of the inputs. I play on Korean Lever and I'm really frustrated with it at the moment. This video helps me found my footing again. I especially appreciate the practice section that you added at the end. Gives me an idea how to practice. :)
GenoSolid that's great to hear, I truly believe that what makes Tekken so great is that there is always something to be learned. There is never a lack of knowledge to be explored.
Luckily I caught your comment this early! Use whatever controller you have at hand and like using. If you're new and don't have an arcade stick, get familiar with the game first, then buy one if you're interested.
This is the best advice, and identical to whatever I would have recommended. Get used to the game, determine if this game is even for you. Then try to use whatever controller you currently have, after some time decide if you want to switch to a HitBox, Arcade Stick, Mixbox, etc…
@PeterYMao thanks man, even though Tekken 8 is out now, I feel like this will work for Tekken 8 as well since a lot of these basics are usable in Tekken 8 as well
PeterYMao I started playing Tekken in August last year. Of course, not having any knowledge of character moves I went to practice mode and tried out each character. I went through all the move sets. And while doing that, I was attracted to Kazumi. I like her moves and her simplicity and her character design. Since then. I’ve just only played her. Dedicating my time to just getting great with her. I pretty much know how to play her by now and have a game plan. I’ve plateaued at genbu rank. Just off the strength of watching videos of tournaments, pro players as well as me just playing the game, learning other characters moves, when playing against them, just naturally getting better through experience. Pretty much raw tekken skills. My point is, I understand Kazumi is an extremely fundamental character. When playing online I’ve realized that when I get destroyed, it’s not really because of my knowledge about other characters moves. But more so of my lack of fundamentals. I didn’t know movement was such a CRUCIAL part of the game until watching this video. I needed a source like your channel so that I can learn and get better at the Game so once again THANK YOU 😁 I appreciate you taking your time to make these videos.
I really like the concept of "here's how to practice this videos lessons". Maybe give a specific move/situation (kind of like homework?) on what to practice to really drive the point of the video/lesson home and to give the audience a "real life" use of the lesson. For example with ducking: Setting up Bryan repeating 1, 4, 2. Practice ducking the 2 and look for a good move on your character to punish. This could have great implications on audience retention and engagement on top of the benefits on the learners part.
I guess this video meant so much for you as well as you're replying to every comment, Thank you so much for your efforts i'm new to tekken and im stuck at yellow ranks i know kbd and side step but i get chewed up by people because of pressure and as a result i Forget everything that i've learn, Lol.
As long as you try to keep the fundamental stuff like back dashing and side step in mind while playing that's at least a first step. Take the time during the loading screen to remind yourself of the things you need to do. And only focus on those things.
@@PeterYMao I was watching one of his vids and at the beginning of the video TMM presented your channel and suggested visiting it. I was hooked on the presentation, and considering that I want to understand Tekken, I checked your channel and here I am, thanking you both :)
Few videos explain the fundamentals of movement in fighting games in general really. Any Tekken video I saw just mentioned that it's important and moved on to frame data, reach, basic strings etc. I didn't even know you could continue into a sidestep walk if you hold it and I used to play Tekken 5 and 6 as a kid before trying Tekken 7 again like a week ago.
I'll definitely need to do some movements practice drill...my fear with sidestepping is I often end up just ducking or jumping but nothing some routine drill can't fix.
@@PeterYMao Absolutely, I did a good 20 mins or so doing sidesteps, backdashes and such and I'm already getting a better grasp of it. We'll see how it persist in an actual online match haha.
Thank you so much MondayKnightro. Happy they are helping you learn the game. There are a bunch more on the channel, and they are in a playlist. Make sure to check those out as well.
13:21 this sounds like a good idea for a player to do when they're adapting to a new controller (e.g you're pad player transitioning to a hitbox player).
1. movement makes u harder to hit 2. movement relieves pressure 3. it also creates opportunities to hit your opponent X AXIS: hold back, can block and move backwards (safest movement), however we are slow asf, so we can't make space back dash ( back back ) holding foward, slow foward dash (foward foward) more ground, more dist, less time, if opp is backdashing you can foward dash 5 spaces auto run Y AXIS to go up, and evade low attacks, while jumping you should also be prepared to attack still jumping, forming attack, evade low attack and hit opponent Z AXIS (most important) can make or break your games essentially, it relives pressure and creates opp to hit opponents sidewalk, to avoid opponents, similar to backdash but u can also get to their back as theyre the most vulnerable there you can also constantly sidewalk
Your hair look dope in this video p.s peter i just got out of the green ranks bro huge shoutout to you hoping to see some bangers in the future as well!
Great guide! It looks like constant movement is important in pretty much every competitive game. One issue I'm having is that in train mode I make fairly little "dirty inputs", but that more or less flies out of the window when under the pressure of the fight. If I see a giant panda run after me, I kind of want to sidestep as quickly as possible and just franticly move my stick down/up twice and my character just ducks/jumps twice looking like an idiot. And I feel like this goes for any drills I come up with. Should I just practice them until these things become a second nature, or is there a better way to do it?
Yo peter great vids man keep it up, watched all the tekken fundamentals vids and i plan on sending them to my friends who are learning the game. Just curious do u eventually plan on doing a vid about more advanced movement stuff?
Hi Clam_Chowder. I definitely plan to do that in the future. Unfortunately, it might take me some time to get to as I am currently in the works covering some other items. Multiple projects are in the works.
Great video for beginners, I've recommended you to a few people already. Just some constructive criticism but I think it would have been worth mentioning at the end that back dashes and side steps can be immediately cancelled into one another, it's very important and not advanced to execute.
Hey circle turtles! Thanks I appreciate the recommendations. And you're absolutely right. It must have slipped my mind completely that BD and SS can be cancelled into one another. Not as an excuse, but usually I'm working on these videos when I'm tired and have just come home from work. Thanks again for the critique.
You're welcome my dude I just thought it was worth mentioning. It's easy enough to forget these things even need to be mentioned some times after they become second nature. Great videos keep it up :)
As someone who just got into T7 im gonna eat up this whole series and then channel 🙏🏽 thank you for doing gods work. Are you planning to make a guide for every character?
I don't plan to make a guide for every character because I don't know how to play every character. There are characters that I myself don't fully understand so I can't make a guide on a character I don't know. I'm just a content creator and an average player :)
Hi Peter, I'm learning the game right now and trying to improve my movement. I play Shaheen and I think that I should stay quite close to my opponent to throw some pokes. But what I end up doing is just dashing or moving into my ennemies attack. I can't stay close and defend at the same time (happens with SS too). Any advice to properly use movement without getting hit ? Thanks !
You can not move and block at the same time. You're either moving or blocking. The best alternative is microdash into block. Get used to this as it's the best option you have in the game if you want to advance and stay "relatively" safe. The longer your dash the more space you cover, but at the cost of opening yourself up. The shorter your dash the less space you cover, but make yourself less vulnerable. If you keep running into your opponents attacks, then I suggest not dashing in and simply waiting for your opponent to whiff something and then whiff punish.
i got wrecked to a point were i wasn't enjoying the game anymore so decided to actually learn it the right way, thanks man this helped
Hey Sizwe, I think it's definitely important to learn the right way rather than just racking up the wins. Wins mean nothing if in the end you don't have fundamentals. I'm glad I could help assist you in learning the fundamentals and the right way to approach the game.

@@PeterYMao I absolutely, agree it would only confuse them to learn such a hard input just as they enter in tekken

When playing online I’ve realized that when I get destroyed, it’s not really because of my knowledge about other characters moves. But more so of my lack of fundamentals. I didn’t know movement was such a CRUCIAL part of the game until watching this video. I needed a source like your channel so that I can learn and get better at the Game so once again THANK YOU 😁 I appreciate you taking your time to make these videos.
Such a clear and detailed introduction, thanks so much!
TheMainManSwe sent me. Content seems great, keep it up!
I really like the concept of "here's how to practice this videos lessons". Maybe give a specific move/situation (kind of like homework?) on what to practice to really drive the point of the video/lesson home and to give the audience a "real life" use of the lesson. For example with ducking: Setting up Bryan repeating 1, 4, 2. Practice ducking the 2 and look for a good move on your character to punish. This could have great implications on audience retention and engagement on top of the benefits on the learners part.
Yup will do!
@@PeterYMao Seems like you were a few steps ahead of me (watching the end of 'Spacing & Whiff Punish'). Good stuff!
Good stuff Peter.
Thanks Brass Heathen :)
Thanks Peter. 👍
Any time!
Dope intro to Tekken
THanks!
I guess this video meant so much for you as well as you're replying to every comment, Thank you so much for your efforts i'm new to tekken and im stuck at yellow ranks i know kbd and side step but i get chewed up by people because of pressure and as a result i Forget everything that i've learn, Lol.
As long as you try to keep the fundamental stuff like back dashing and side step in mind while playing that's at least a first step. Take the time during the loading screen to remind yourself of the things you need to do. And only focus on those things.
@@PeterYMao Thats a great tip, Thank you so much brother!!
Good job! This is how I want to learn Tekken, from someone, passionate, with a professional aura about him. Thanks!
You are very welcome Andrew! Glad you enjoy. :)
@@PeterYMao Forgot to mention it, TMM sent me here. It's nice when you get to find a place where you can learn Tekken, glad to be here.
@@AndrewDTeach Nice! When was this? When did TMM send you here?
@@PeterYMao I was watching one of his vids and at the beginning of the video TMM presented your channel and suggested visiting it. I was hooked on the presentation, and considering that I want to understand Tekken, I checked your channel and here I am, thanking you both :)
@@AndrewDTeach Thanks man! I'll have to thank TMM when I get a chance. Which video was it btw? I'm curious ^_^
Great video. Very appreciated!
Sincerely a new player
Welcome! and You're Welcome hahaha. Thanks for watching man
Commenting to show I appreciated this video c:
TheMainMan says hi... great content and new subscriber
Gustavo. Thank you so much for the sub! I'll have to give him my thanks on his stream later.
Few videos explain the fundamentals of movement in fighting games in general really.
Any Tekken video I saw just mentioned that it's important and moved on to frame data, reach, basic strings etc.
I didn't even know you could continue into a sidestep walk if you hold it and I used to play Tekken 5 and 6 as a kid before trying Tekken 7 again like a week ago.
I'll definitely need to do some movements practice drill...my fear with sidestepping is I often end up just ducking or jumping but nothing some routine drill can't fix.
Practice makes progress. No one is perfect xD
@@PeterYMao Absolutely, I did a good 20 mins or so doing sidesteps, backdashes and such and I'm already getting a better grasp of it. We'll see how it persist in an actual online match haha.
Excellent guide!
Thank you objective irony :)
Thank you. Never played Tekken or any fighting games. Seeing all the cool kids and main men do combos is cool, but I just wanna learn to play
Daaaamn! You are a rare breed Cory Goodman. Good on you just wanting to learn. Not many of you out there
Thank you for making this! I just got the game and this gives me hope that I will learn and get better
Thank you so much MondayKnightro. Happy they are helping you learn the game. There are a bunch more on the channel, and they are in a playlist. Make sure to check those out as well.
13:21 this sounds like a good idea for a player to do when they're adapting to a new controller (e.g you're pad player transitioning to a hitbox player).
This is exactly what I did when transitioning from Japanese Stick to Korean Stick. Felt weird at first and then more natural later.
Awesome video, thank you!
Glad it helped!
Another excellent video.
c16621 thank you very much sir!
1. movement makes u harder to hit
2. movement relieves pressure
3. it also creates opportunities to hit your opponent
X AXIS:
hold back, can block and move backwards (safest movement), however we are slow asf, so we can't make space
back dash ( back back )
holding foward, slow
foward dash (foward foward) more ground, more dist, less time, if opp is backdashing you can foward dash
5 spaces auto run
Y AXIS
to go up, and evade low attacks, while jumping you should also be prepared to attack
still jumping, forming attack, evade low attack and hit opponent
Z AXIS (most important)
can make or break your games essentially, it relives pressure and creates opp to hit opponents
sidewalk, to avoid opponents, similar to backdash but u can also get to their back as theyre the most vulnerable there
you can also constantly sidewalk
Your hair look dope in this video p.s peter i just got out of the green ranks bro huge shoutout to you hoping to see some bangers in the future as well!
Hey Haider! Thanks bro, hope all is well and that the yellow ranks treat you well :D
Very good guide sir!
Thank you :)
Great guide! It looks like constant movement is important in pretty much every competitive game.
One issue I'm having is that in train mode I make fairly little "dirty inputs", but that more or less flies out of the window when under the pressure of the fight. If I see a giant panda run after me, I kind of want to sidestep as quickly as possible and just franticly move my stick down/up twice and my character just ducks/jumps twice looking like an idiot. And I feel like this goes for any drills I come up with. Should I just practice them until these things become a second nature, or is there a better way to do it?
Gj man, clean tutorial keep it up !
Vass highwind. I hear ya man, definitely will keep it up
Yo peter great vids man keep it up, watched all the tekken fundamentals vids and i plan on sending them to my friends who are learning the game. Just curious do u eventually plan on doing a vid about more advanced movement stuff?
Hi Clam_Chowder. I definitely plan to do that in the future. Unfortunately, it might take me some time to get to as I am currently in the works covering some other items. Multiple projects are in the works.
Thanks for great explanation and video
Thank you so much for this👍
Welcome 😊
Amazing job man 😎👍
Thank you Yuri!
Learning your stuff is interesting thx peter❤
Amazing tutorial
Thanks for the guide
I'm so late Tekken 8 is well into it's phase
Great video for beginners, I've recommended you to a few people already. Just some constructive criticism but I think it would have been worth mentioning at the end that back dashes and side steps can be immediately cancelled into one another, it's very important and not advanced to execute.
Hey circle turtles! Thanks I appreciate the recommendations. And you're absolutely right. It must have slipped my mind completely that BD and SS can be cancelled into one another. Not as an excuse, but usually I'm working on these videos when I'm tired and have just come home from work. Thanks again for the critique.
You're welcome my dude I just thought it was worth mentioning. It's easy enough to forget these things even need to be mentioned some times after they become second nature. Great videos keep it up :)
Awesome dude!
As someone who just got into T7 im gonna eat up this whole series and then channel 🙏🏽 thank you for doing gods work.
Are you planning to make a guide for every character?
I don't plan to make a guide for every character because I don't know how to play every character. There are characters that I myself don't fully understand so I can't make a guide on a character I don't know. I'm just a content creator and an average player :)
i havent player since tekken 3 so im gonna relearn 7 with yoiur guides, wish me luck
thank you for the guide
Sir I have always wanted to play good with Bryan and you made it possible but can u do a guide to beat button Smasher law please
Thank you!
You bet! ^_^
good work m8
You're very welcome :)
Hi Peter, I'm learning the game right now and trying to improve my movement. I play Shaheen and I think that I should stay quite close to my opponent to throw some pokes. But what I end up doing is just dashing or moving into my ennemies attack. I can't stay close and defend at the same time (happens with SS too). Any advice to properly use movement without getting hit ? Thanks !
You can not move and block at the same time. You're either moving or blocking. The best alternative is microdash into block. Get used to this as it's the best option you have in the game if you want to advance and stay "relatively" safe. The longer your dash the more space you cover, but at the cost of opening yourself up. The shorter your dash the less space you cover, but make yourself less vulnerable. If you keep running into your opponents attacks, then I suggest not dashing in and simply waiting for your opponent to whiff something and then whiff punish.
@@PeterYMao Thanks a lot ! I've finally made my way up the blue ranks and I'm almost reaching the green ones ! Partly thanks to you :D
I did appreciate it.
:) 👍
done with this practice now moving on the next video
