[@Wolfgang_von_Caelid]

Gotta say, as a red rank drag (also 1st Tekken game) who consciously tries to use drag's full toolkit, I was super impressed by his choice of moves/strings. Some of it is definitely not on purpose, but still holy shit the amount of improvement for basically a FG noob is super commendable, you love to see it

I'm all caught up on AfroSenju lore, but its a double-edged blade. On the one hand, being caught up makes me feel relevant in his journey, but on the other, I can't binge new content anymore. Keep these videos coming, my man. Been with you for years, your rise continues. Get to the top, homie.

Afro!!! All you need to learn now is movement and timing (parrying in a sense). Get used to back stepping and side stepping to dodge instead of blocking. It helps in closing the gap too when your attacks width. Get that down and you're good. KEEP GOING!

[@Wolfgang_von_Caelid]

​@@TheRealSlickGokubro the levels to Tekken go so deep that this is completely unfair. Dude went from playing no FGs, literally only arena fighter slop, to picking up arguably the hardest modern FG franchise and getting into advanced-beginner/ intermediate ranks within the first couple weeks of release. That is impressive. Obviously he's not gonna beat anyone with years of FG experience within a couple weeks, what a ridiculous standard.

[@TheBakerZen]

@@TheRealSlickGoku "He's not even good enough to beat actually good players". No shit, he is learning. The FGC can be so annoying, do you want new people getting into the game you like or not?

[@doublevendetta]

​@@TheBakerZen the secret answer for a lot of these losers is no, they like trying to be able to hold a superiority complex over people, and the more new blood comes into the genre, the more they start to be demystified of fighting games being this terribly difficult genre, which that makes these gatekeeping assholes look less special. Signed a member of the FGC proper for like, 12 years? Now? God I'm getting OLD.

[@blakeifer800]

Bind your RT to 1+2 and your LT to 3+4. I struggle with learning combos as well but this helps a lot. Still do your neutral game with jabs and lows but you'll be able to throw some heavy punishers in there with stuff like Right - RT or half circle - LT. I play with Victor and that makes stringing moves together for (beginner combos) but it helps you learn their moves for combos. Also play vs or an offline game mode where you can put the difficulty to ultra hard. Now that you've got the fundamentals ultra hard is good sparring for training to learn your moves and combos in a combat setting without losing rank. Or just set the training dummy to CPU and ultra difficulty to play around. Anyway from one Tekken newbie to another good luck my friend 👍🏼

Man, what an arc this is. Love it. Also, Ki charge is 1+2+3+4. You might be rolling your thumb across all the buttons or pressing a bunch of presets you might have at the same time. You're also probably holding the controller wrong XD I mean, it's obviously working for you, but you might wanna give what's called "crab claw" a shot. It's where your index and middle fingers are above the face buttons and you use them to hit said buttons. I've been playing like that for as long as I can remember and Lil Majin also plays like that. Really helps in this game. I'm playin btw, you can obviously do whatever is workin for you. There really isn't a "right way" or "right controller" to play Tekken. As long as you're kickin ass, you're doin it right.

[@MurrayBoyC10]

Ayye keep it up man the improvement is there. keep pushing bro let’s see how far you can go

[@duskyer]

Take a look at the sample combos in training. You have the basics down like blocking, counters and lows which is your bread and butter, but an actual full combo is the meat of the sandwich. As long as you learn 1 and are able to do it consistently in actual matches you'll do better.

[@anwarbc]

Good shit! Try setting up a bot with blocking set to "shuffle" or "random" or whatever it was. Then you can keep hitting it with your combo starters randomly, and try to do your combo when it doesn't block your combo starters. Of course, in real games, people don't get hit by everything. When they do, it might take you a while to think of how to continue the start of your combo. If you can pull off the start though, I'm sure the rest which you labbed will follow!

[@ultimatesenshi9]

Loving the level up in gameplay. Some advice from a Lars player myself, he can't launch you with his lows unless it's a counter hit. He has to risk his life to launch most of the time and when he's in stance you can mid poke him to stop it, though only do that when he's close and not spamming.

[@Wheelsun215]

The key to landing combos in battle is to launch your opponents with intentions of doing the combo. It’s better said than done. Try thinking about doing the combo before even launching them
