@@saporob I used to think the same, but when you look more at the fundamentals, Keep out, poke, punishment, 50/50s He's not too bad. Yes Dev Jin for example is better than him, but he's not bad (I have no clue what keep out means but it sounds smart ass) If you watch character's breakdowns, you'll know that every character is so fucking open when fought with smart ass strong opponent. Nonetheless, Steve and Hwoarang are Kazuya's worst matchups because the only way to deal with them is pressuring them back to stop their crazy tornado, instead of blocking and punish, or backdashing Kaz pressure and plus game suck, and he needs a lot of space to function, which Steve and Hwoarang are not going to afford him.
@@kakacech Kazuya has only easy high damage combos but you can sidewalk left almost everything. Dj is superior in everything with a stupid broken real 50/50 game, there is no point to use kazuya but if you like his design.
@@saporob Still not a bad character. TMM is not the strongest player. He only uses key moves because playing so many characters gives you memory loss at moves Also he tries hard instead of chilling and using dumpass/various moves I just watched a video of him using Jin against a Yoshi. I consider Jin a better character, yet he did way worse than this. It was cringy to watch If someone sticks to the character, doesn't play to win, but to improve, they can do insane shit. Hellsweep and electric are not the only options Kaz has. Repeating shit is how MainMan plays and it's not paying off
@@kakacech You're saying that as if he's up against noobs, and he's losing. Fact is, literally anyone else besides Arslan is not "the strongest player". Hence, it's pretty stupid to say that. Ignoring all the other stupid shit... you really just have to admire that you have the balls to say that what TMM is doing is not paying off, when he has multiple TGP characters, and TGO. I don't have to ask if you have *ONE* , because it's pretty obvious that you are a keyboard warrior, and a prune.
He should have did it while he was laying down. Kaz rage drive can pick you up grounded i think. Had one guy do that to me recently unless it was a fluke.
@@davonlawrence7166 he takes SO MUCH practice, you can tell by this guys combo conversions and mid combo adjustments that he knows the character like the back of his hand. I mean he is at TGP with like 700 wins or something, with Steve that is no easy feat. Hes probably been playing him since T5 or something.
This guy made his Steve Fox look like Brad Burns from Virtua Fighter. If he's a Virtua Fighter player, it shows : good punishing, very good spacing and execution. It was really cool to watch!
7:34 I thought I'm hearing something familiar in the background And yeah, turns out it is a Soul Blade BGM from PlayStation One, I forgot the stage tho 🤣
The best thing about mm is that he never loses his shit. When I face a great Steve and start getting blown away(along with my super hard to achieve rank) I feel like screaming and punching my tv. Not a good time for me to talk to anyone, yet alone a stream of thousands🤣 So thank you main man, for being chill and setting a good example😎
I wish I could do some nasty pressure like this guy does, but in Red Ranks everyone just mashes buttons and won't respect you enough to not be attacking every second.
That’s why he pauses in between. You apply pressure to make the opponents do something punishable or a down 1. If they keep down 1ing then you catch on to the pattern and low parry it. That’s how you play tekken.
People be really disrespecting TMM's skill because he loses to this Steve? Not only an insult to TMM, but also an insult to this great Steve. This guy plays magnificently, very strong... people underestimating him don't even have 10% of his skill. I mean, it's like saying Knee is bad because he lost to Arslan Ash, one of, if not the greatest Tekken player today. I hope ya'll realize how stupid you sound when I phrase it like that.
23:42 one of the most obvious hellsweeps in history.. almost 80% of kazuya players make this mistake... which is the behavior or kazuya player suddenly running to your face then suddenly crouch to do something.. 99% of time it is a hell sweep... especially if the kazuya player is desperate for hit.. kazuya players shouldn't naively use it against none flustered players standing back at distant with almost full health .. they can easily telegraph it on instant..
I think it's because trying to go for a f,f+3 in that situation feels unsafe in that situation due to the slower startup (while CD into f,f+4 is both slow and stubby). I know that's what I'm thinking if I'm presented with that scenario and I don't know what to do to close the gap. I would rather have a mid but all my mid options feel like the wrong call. Though in Devil mode you can do something like f+1+2 (or I guess with Season 4 you could try running up with a crouch dash into WS 1+2).
zhaoyun255 sad part is Steve is an easy match up for Fahk. I think people are going to Steve because they want a challenge. Tekken has become too beginner friendly with these DLC characters.
Entonton yes he’s strong. But he is a poke and counter hit style fighter. Yeah you can pressure, but there’s a lot of highs and not very high damaging lows. His lows aren’t launch punishable which is good, but he can’t bully you like most. Unless you know what you are doing with Steve you will get killed.
I’m glad Steve is getting respect I love boxers. Mike Tyson in his prime is my favorite thing to watch on UA-cam when it comes to fighting content and Steve makes me feel like Tyson I swear just collapsing fools.
DeadEye is a regular in Spanish Tekken tournaments as a part of the Veteranos esports team. His previous TGP account had over 5k wins. His Twitch handle is deadeyefoxie. TMM lost 15-3 against DeaDeye -> 5:1 loss ratio. Comparing to other "strongest" Steves TMM has met: K-Wiss: 3-2 to TMM TenientePepino: 3-3 Didelfrey: 6-2 to TMM Captain Falcon: 6-5 to Captain Falcon Foxer: 6-2 to TMM In other words TMM got destroyed by the best Steve he has played against online so far. No other Steve is even close. This is apparent when you see DeaDeyes almost impossible conversions(excluding df+2 combo), insane CH baiting with lows and mids, and incredible defense/mobility.
Loving watching this just because steve is winning some of the matches lol but I gotta say your Kazuya is a legend, you just had a disadvantage because most tekken players are familiar with Kazuyas moves.
i dunno i think steves pretty good but i prefer to use the more aggressive peekaboo to flicker so mean if not using alot of back strings to keep in flicker steve's actually pretty good...just see a lot of defensive flicker and its good for a back dash and fades fast so can move into next string but get what ppl saying from a defensive/flicker can be very hard to pin down.
back 2 a good advice,tracks no time for sidestep . at zero time very nice.and another is back 1+2.thats a secret . safe and combo to counter hit.its good for steves and hwuarangs .when i buy a ps4 i will start again.thnx for your teachings . if you werent to teach us about wavedash and your guides i would not have understound the meaning of Mishimas
have not been able to play because my comp is in the shop in stockholm... i am getting fired up wanting to play after watching a lot of your videos lol
I have a little tip for kaz players. I might help, it might not. If you press: down 1+2, Kazuya will try to hit a low. However, if you hold back during this attack, he will feint, making Kazuya duck instantly. You can then do a rising 2 straight into a combo. Hope this helps!!
12:43 this guy is insane lmao

Ken G it doesn’t. You must’ve pressed something and not realized. It will pick up if you do pretty much anything on the ground.
