The "10 successful repetitions" technique has one benefit that was not mentioned: It develops a muscle memory where you will feel the mistake, even before you see it in the command history.
5 years later and this guide holds up amazingly. Playing on arcade stick for the first time and this helped me go through the motion slowly even though I have played a lot of heihachi on pad
Playing ranked as Jin got a bit easier after spending a week in practice mode following your advices from your Jin video, now will go back to practice mode to learn wavedashing
Literally a genius at explaining how to execute it, just gotta practice it a lil more my self. I was already familiar with wavedashing, but you just made it so much easier thanks so much.
Main man made me the biggest devil Jin fan boy and I love his cringey poses at the end of winning fights. I just want to get good enough and play him and win. Keep making great tekken content love you bro
thank you! Not just for the wave dash but this tips of deconstructing a hard task on more simples ones. (kinda basic but i didn't know it was that helpful) it's so powerful now i know exactly how the wavedash works and what i do wrong (i also wondered how could you do ff4 so fast after a wavedash on kazuya ) and i think this is exactly why you have such a strong execution it's because you practise in a much more efficient way than the others. So yeah thank you !
Breaking things down is the most basic way of learning things but unfortunately most people don't understand/want to. It's how you get good grades in school and university, it's how you learn any instrument, learning anything in general really.
yeah this is so awsome like i was having trouble with the steve wall combo (with the gatling gun in the end ) and i broke it down in 3 step and in less than 30minutes i was able to do it almost every time ! (will try to apply that with piano and other stuffs )
Thank you for the tutorial, and believe it or not someone did fight like that in real life. Joe Frazier fought with a bobbing weaving motion that looks a bit like wave dashing. It was such an effective form of movement he was able to beat Muhammad Ali, not with that alone but it helped.
Thank you MainCoachSWE I really been trying to get it down failing in practice but randomly nailing it in matches. I'm gonna use "quickly-er" in everyday speech
Thanks for this tutorial, I was planning on playing a mishima for tekken 8 now I have blister on my thumb from the exercise technique but I am somewhat confident on doing a wave dash on both sides thanks to this 3 step program
did a crouchdash on accident my first time. I went to practice mode, to check the move list and found the wgf. Did a wavedash by accident one time, and had to figure out how to do it myself, because i didnt know what it was, or that it was important. My wavedash is perfect now.
The problem I have with wavedashing is it’s very dangerous to do unless you can lightdash. If you just get large crouch dashes it’s super-obvious. Lightdashing conceals your attack windows with a lot of motion so you can run straight up to someone and they won’t easily be able to pick out a moment of vulnerability because you reset your attack window so frequently. To me that’s the really scary part of a wavedash done right. It causes your opponent a lot of stress because the risk vs. reward of trying to break it up is unfavorable and could be the exact moment you attack and they take CH damage (and that’s why the Mishima 50/50 is, at least, above average if not fantastic; paralyze your opponent with uncertainty and cloud their ability to respond to the myriad of options you have to open them up). The opponent can SSL but the wavedash realigns so it’s not a perfect solution.
That is just making a quick step, usually with poke or fake baiting poke. Something simillar to wave dash would be waving left or right in a bit unpredictable way like Mike tyson for example
When I get enough money to become one of your students you know damn well I’m gonna become one of your students, you’re my inspiration to play this game
Dapho it’s not about the controller, I thought if I got a fight stick I’ll be able to do it more easily, but eventually realise it was like starting from the beginning again, then spent more time on the controller and now it’s just how I move around, becomes second nature
@kipzonderkop1994 I never said it was about the controller, I switched to stick because I wanted to know what it felt like, and in my opinion it just feels more fun. I never practiced wavedashing to the fullest extent while I was on the pad, but I feel as if it's easier to do on the stick for me either way. It is hard right now, but with more practice I will get better, and hopefully with that, have more fun.
Df2 or similar launch beats wave dash probably all the way up to tournament. Wavedash in American online is just asking to eat damage. It is good after a knockdown though, but even then you only need a few. I’ve gotten really good at two wavedashes and two “Korean “backdashes at a time and I can get by on that. I get out of rhythm if I do more, but it’s all good that’s all I need.
People online get carried away so spring kicks or like u said df2 launchers or even Hopkicks beat them. Yeah I also use two or even one wavedashes after knockdown because that is all you need. Heck even having them slow is sometimes better instead of having them fast lol.
just remember not to cancel wave dash with a forward before hitting back, it will do a back 1,2 move not a twin piston. this might help you when doing multiple wave dash.
No, sadly. I've been trying to get him to upload them for years and it's never happened. It's a pain in the ass because he stopped using them for streams because it was SO funny.
Thanks. I play Jin, but, and this is a big ol but, I've seriously considered adding the Mishima's to my must-learn list (Keep in mind, this is the first Tekken I've ever taken seriously!).
I mained as Kazuya and vanilla Jin in T3 and TTT as a kid, playing a lot vs friends. So I learned to do a pretty respectable crouch dash back then. After that, I didn't play Tekken until T7, except for a little bit of T5. I didn't really have to practice that much to do the more advanced crouch cancel stuff, like the wave dash, ws, f, ff move mixups. I could also do a decent korean backdash immediately, without any practice after just watching a Aris video where he explained the inputs. When I realized that you were just stacking P2 crouch dashes, I had pretty much already learned to do it. So, TMM is correct. Learn the basics. For me as a kid, that's all I knew, and being so comfortable with the basics enabled me to pick up more advanced stuff in a negligable amount of time.
To answer your question in the beginning its because in game, the spacing and timing is faster than in real life. In real life, we couldn't cover that much space Also there is somewhat a real life wave dash in real life. That it a Dempsey roll by boxers like Mike Tysom. Altho not 100% similar but the bobbing motion looks cool. And like wavedash, Dempsey roll makes you unpredictable for a jab, straight etc. Except in tekken it's high mid or low
Honestly i have to thank u .. I mastered the wavedash in two days and all thanks is to u .. i still can’t do it as fast as u but finally i can make the combos i want to .. i will practice every day
Actually...in real life there have been boxers that made wave dash look quite real..aka peak a poo style.. used by floyd patterson, Joe Frazier and Mike Tyson lol
great work...!! Can you please make another video on devil jin about how to perform all possible option during wave dash like you explain how we can do ff2 during wave dash. similarly, we can do ws2 during wave dash. please explain all moves input and how can we do during wave dash. It will very help full for me and others how just started devil jin. Thanks in advance
Sorry for that question i find your this video ua-cam.com/video/1h4iv-Zu2S4/v-deo.html and it help me alot i was doing same mistake inputing back key after crouch dash thanks man your content help alot you are my misihma teacher love from Pakistan
I can’t believe it was this simple holy shit. Was practicing earlier today I’m pretty good at the QC because I’m always spamming Bryan Hatchet Kicks on the homies LOL
Zipped yea Ik, which sucks ass, only reason I don’t play Bryan much anymore, cuz I play with a dualshock dpad for some reason, ff inputs are a dick to do fast, so I play noctis like a retarded onion played Kazuya XD
It is. You instinctively start using to many muscles that you don't need for that movement. I can imagine how your whole wrist is dancing arround as you press on that d-pad very forcefully. That's why Adrien suggests that you start with single separate wavedashes so that you don't do unnecessary movements and thus refine the movement that goes into muscle memory.
While it may be true that mike tyson doing this in real life would look very weird it is mostly based on the upper and the lower extremities of the person for example if a person is good with balancing it's whole body and has fast reaction time then a person might be able to do at least a mini wavedash but ofc this kind of tactic would only be good for experience fighters and should not be used in pro fights for this can be mostly used as a exercise of balance and endurance.
Player 1 Mishima swinging by and asking what's wrong with my/everyone's hands that player 2 is easier, even with practice I feel like I only started playing fighting games a week ago on player 2 ;__;
Yeah but they’re slow. Plus you get nothing on a blocked f,f+4 anyway so you can’t build momentum with it. Better to CD into EWHF, f,f+2, or WS 3. f,f+3 is good if your opponent is scared to act, though.
I've never had luck doing a full qcf. I have a much easier time just hitting the corner in my square gate and releasing to tap forward with my thumb again and repeat.
Adrian you make Tekken accessible to the masses. You are the Main Man
Glad I'm not the only one who gets hyped over wavedashing
Jay Ziko yep!
I can only wavedash that fast like 2 times. Otherwise bnf lol
zeke2solid try doing it at your own pace and always always practice :D put at least 30 mins each day it’ll help
I most def get hyped😭😭
its all fun and games until you wavedash into a df2
😂😂 gotta learn how to wave dash guard
_ Tensai all the time
Yep
Yea lol, that sucks so bad.
hold f then lean into df
Someone doing a wavedash in game is saying "I'm going to hit you."
Someone doing a wavedash in real life is saying "I want you to hit me."
Yeah, so we can hit that just frame counter punch that hits harder than Miguel's one shot move.
I did a real life wavedash and had Kodee and Speedkicks laughing on Twitter two years ago lol
you're a hero lmao. need more stuff like that
WHERE IS THE VIDDDD MAN, i wanna see this ahahah

This video make me understand how to wavedash. Perfect tutorial video Mainman. Perfectly and completely explained.
thx alot TMM i can wavedash now u made me understand the basic concept for crouch cancelling into forward
You are actually the main man. Outstanding work as always. 10/10.
Please tell me how can me wave dash
Mohd Aslam forward then slide your finger from down to forward
Thanks for explaining to not skip steps as well as you did. As a new player, you saved me big time.
if my muscles haven't memorized how to do a fkn haduken yet, they're all fired
LOL
It looks like your character is doing the peek-a-boo motion from boxing. That's why it looks good.
Thank you MainCoachSWE I really been trying to get it down failing in practice but randomly nailing it in matches. I'm gonna use "quickly-er" in everyday speech
Mike Tyson wave dashed in his prime(literally not even kidding)
yeah sure buddy
Thanks for this tutorial, I was planning on playing a mishima for tekken 8 now I have blister on my thumb from the exercise technique but I am somewhat confident on doing a wave dash on both sides thanks to this 3 step program
did a crouchdash on accident my first time. I went to practice mode, to check the move list and found the wgf. Did a wavedash by accident one time, and had to figure out how to do it myself, because i didnt know what it was, or that it was important.
My wavedash is perfect now.
watched for 5 mins and figured it out Thanks for simple explanation
The Main Man indeed decided to step my Tekken Prowess up watching you
I keep spinning the top of my ball off when I’m dash cancelling, lol
Everytime someone wave dashing at me i instantly think im about either get a kick to the face or sweeped to the floor
Godlike guide! Can you do something similar with kr backdash? The way the break things down makes it so much more accessible!
The problem I have with wavedashing is it’s very dangerous to do unless you can lightdash. If you just get large crouch dashes it’s super-obvious. Lightdashing conceals your attack windows with a lot of motion so you can run straight up to someone and they won’t easily be able to pick out a moment of vulnerability because you reset your attack window so frequently.
To me that’s the really scary part of a wavedash done right. It causes your opponent a lot of stress because the risk vs. reward of trying to break it up is unfavorable and could be the exact moment you attack and they take CH damage (and that’s why the Mishima 50/50 is, at least, above average if not fantastic; paralyze your opponent with uncertainty and cloud their ability to respond to the myriad of options you have to open them up). The opponent can SSL but the wavedash realigns so it’s not a perfect solution.
Okay this is the best explaination I have seen on wavu wavu. Thanks TMM.
well wavedash is a little bit like a boxing technique, but you usually only do it once to get in on your opponent
That is just making a quick step, usually with poke or fake baiting poke. Something simillar to wave dash would be waving left or right in a bit unpredictable way like Mike tyson for example
When I get enough money to become one of your students you know damn well I’m gonna become one of your students, you’re my inspiration to play this game
Ay just in time as I got a fightstick yesterday. Perfect, my guy.
Dapho it’s not about the controller, I thought if I got a fight stick I’ll be able to do it more easily, but eventually realise it was like starting from the beginning again, then spent more time on the controller and now it’s just how I move around, becomes second nature
Good luck, shit was difficult at first
I have a stick for about a month now and Im a lot better at this game since I changed from pad
Hard to be consistent with movement on stick under pressure against someone online.
@kipzonderkop1994 I never said it was about the controller, I switched to stick because I wanted to know what it felt like, and in my opinion it just feels more fun. I never practiced wavedashing to the fullest extent while I was on the pad, but I feel as if it's easier to do on the stick for me either way. It is hard right now, but with more practice I will get better, and hopefully with that, have more fun.
I always wanted something like this when I learned the electric. At least I have a methodical approach for the wavedash now.
Video starts at 4:08
Danké
Wavedash Practice
*Each step no mistakes
step 1: 10 crouch dash
step 2: 10 coruch dash forward
step 3: 10 crouch dash crouch dash
step 4: 10 crouch dash crouch dash forward
step 5: 10 crouch dash (2x) forward 2 (devil fist/demon paw)
step 6: 10 crouch dash (3x) forward 2
step 7: 10 crouch dash (4x) forward 2
Homework before and after I get off the game everyday as much as I can. Thank you senpai 🙏🏽😤
It made perfectly sence :) Thanks alot for this great Guide!

Kazuya crouch cancel twin piston guide plz
Yeah would be nice, the input is crouch dash then back + the input
At the peek of the wave dash you must hit back
just remember not to cancel wave dash with a forward before hitting back, it will do a back 1,2 move not a twin piston. this might help you when doing multiple wave dash.
think of it like a ewgf, do b and 1 at the same time during a wavedash, f,n d,df b 1+2

If you're playing Devil Jin, understanding the 50:50 and (ab)using b4 will easily get you to yellow.
Congrats though and have fun!
Thanks. I play Jin, but, and this is a big ol but, I've seriously considered adding the Mishima's to my must-learn list (Keep in mind, this is the first Tekken I've ever taken seriously!).
Thank you so much for this 🤘 Grand Sensei
Anyone else’s hand dying trying to do this on the d-pad😭
anything that requires df input is a big pain on d-pad
my fingers are numb
wayyyy easier on dpad. i can wavedash and wave electric both sides on dpad but when i first tried stick i struggled
For me I can’t do electrics consistently I can wave dash but it jus tires out my hand
He wavedashes into my heart
I suck at wavedash from the right side. Yes you read that right. Anyone else find it way easier from the left as well?
Mastered this 2 days ago thanks to my main man thx

0:18 when I'm with my girlfriend and I whip out my controller and start wavedashing:

joe frazier always wavedashing when boxing

Not sure why you think this would be dumb in real life; a single wave dash is basically the startup for a double leg takedown irl.
Your tutorials are worth 100k subs ✔
its now 100k
My thumb hurts but it’s worth it
Surprised this just came up I just watched your old video on it.
Mike Tyson did it peek-a-boo style
Can you do a video with the pad please
After wachting it at the first time I fucking understand this shit.Thanks
This helps immensely
I can’t believe it was this simple holy shit. Was practicing earlier today I’m pretty good at the QC because I’m always spamming Bryan Hatchet Kicks on the homies LOL
Serious fg players: Transcendental ability
Casuals: lolwut😂😂😂
The wavedash looks cool to us because we know how hard it is to do (fast) genius ;)
It's hard to hear the tutorial over the screams of Lars being pushed down a set of stairs by kazuya
I just realised how good Bryan would be with a mastered wavedash. A lot of his decent/good moves are ff+_ inputs.
If Bryan had a wavedash I'd play him forever, but qcf ss qcf is all I got
Zipped yea Ik, which sucks ass, only reason I don’t play Bryan much anymore, cuz I play with a dualshock dpad for some reason, ff inputs are a dick to do fast, so I play noctis like a retarded onion played Kazuya XD
Joe Frazier actually bobbed similar to this if you ever look up his fights.
Make sure you learn on both player 1 and 2 sides as well
Wave dash isn’t so unrealistic. Look at Tyson feints in his prime. Not dissimilar.
is it normal that my hand starts to hurt after I actively try to wavedash on dpad?
Oscar Valero Díaz lmfao Oh most defenitely😂
Oml yes I peeled a biit of skin off my thumb learning to wave dash :| I'm good at it now but my hand still cramps up if I do lots of Electrics
Yeah my thumb still peels when I play. But when you get used to it the pain will go away
It is. You instinctively start using to many muscles that you don't need for that movement. I can imagine how your whole wrist is dancing arround as you press on that d-pad very forcefully.

How doable is this on a PS4 controller?
I broke 2 D pads trying to do this!!!!😤😤😤😤😤
Don't wavedash on November... you will fail
better be your pad, i broke my entire psp on tekken 6
Great, now Jin's ff3 and ff4 have excellent range
Yeah but they’re slow. Plus you get nothing on a blocked f,f+4 anyway so you can’t build momentum with it.
Better to CD into EWHF, f,f+2, or WS 3. f,f+3 is good if your opponent is scared to act, though.
Am I the only one that's tried and succeeded wave dashing in real life? Yes? Ok I'll wait in the corner...
How about on pad
I've never had luck doing a full qcf. I have a much easier time just hitting the corner in my square gate and releasing to tap forward with my thumb again and repeat.
Same
i can do 2 wave dash really fast but the third one is a mess
Two is usually enough
You dont have wave dash that much lol. Two or four dashes is enough lol
you should do a backdash guide mainman
Nice content. Any plans to make shorter, more concise and direct guides? Thanks
