I prefer stick, but there's great players, mostly in the US and Europe, that play on pad too, so I'd say unless you play on a godlike level like the pros in Asia you can do great with either. Definitely takes a bit to get used to the stick though so if you think fighting games are your thing and you'll play them for years you might as well get one early. Good matches and have fun mate.

You're very welcome mate, glad it helped and you're still going strong at Tekken!

Halcyon32 you're welcome man, glad the video is still helpful after so many years.

jtyssens awesome, glad you got it down man.

Twitchy what do you get if you check the command history? Basically you want to release it so that the down microswitch releases earlier than the back microswitch (both combined create the d/b). Basically you don't want to release it at a higher than 45 degree angle. Experiment a little with different hand and finger mivement until you get the right commands.

ChaosxPaladin yeah you have to learn to do the movement so that the b input registers. The hrap4 should be fine, I started on the standard hrap3 and it worked just fine. Hmm it's preference, Korean Myoungshin Fanta sticks are awesome because they have a round gate instead of an octagonal one thus making inputs more fluid imho, bit in the end it all comes down to your technique, and I currently also use a hrap4. Don't give up man, practice and you'll get it down soon you'll see.

lol you're right about twisting the stick in a weird way. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. spending alot of time in the tekken 7 practice mode. I want to learn this trick

yeah i`m frustrated too not getting the buffered back after releasing from d/b to neutral.i think as long as i can`t get the buffered back i won`t be able to do it :(

it took me about 3 hours in total on practice mode. just kept trying, never gave up. everyday i'd spend a little time trying to backdash cancel before I play any matches and now i can do it like about 4-5 times in a row. Just gotta get it into muscle memory, and then work on speed. atm I think i can do 4 BDCs about 1.5X faster than the max speed I can do ordinary BDs. The very fist time i did 3 consecutive BDCs it was much slower than just BD and it seemed pointless, but just trust the genius behind this technique. once you get that trick of the buffered back input in muscle memory, everything changes. almost feel like its a disadvantage to play on pad.... keep in mind I've never used an arcade stick before

I'm able to do it on player 1 side now, but player 2 side is a lot harder. I just use the cheat method for now on that side until I can get it proper. This game is tough, but that's why I love it.

+TekkenNews PL I'm glad if people still find it helpful after so many years. Greeting from Italy!

***** بالتوفيق

jesse wright Practice practice practice. I also thought it was hard or I was doing something wrong but understanding how it's done the right way is essential in learning it
