Beta Noob Learns Kazuya from GIGACHAD Youtuber

[@PhiDX]

I followed MainMan's beginner guide in addition to my previous knowledge: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pobRqZ6Mqruha5Y At higher ranks 1,1 was liable to getting bodied by evasion, hence why the gameplay changed

[@lokomo]

I GOT CLICKBAITED?!

[@Vincenni]

Hey! I was the Lili in this video!! Really informative info even though it is directed towards Kazuya play, helped me see some of my issues as I continue learning to play leverless as a stick main for like 4 years

[@DrEaMsNoEviL]

Nice outfit!

GGs 😁

u played for 4 years and only raijin?

[@younes9745]

“There’s a little bit of evil required to play kazuya” 😂

[@Peiruhn]

Genius character design

[@empanadanguwak]

Loved the Maximilan series, Phi! A collab with Masku right after would be a total win for me. They're two different personalities I enjoy binging on separate occasions. And you making Tekken content with both of them kind of built a bridge in my brain that I never thought would connect. It'd be great if you guys get to play in an online tourney or something -- the banter on top of the plays would be hella entertaining imo

[@NinjaWarotMCph]

do not forgetti the phi mme set from way back

[@chocochips5485]

1:10 MainMan droping curse still exist even with different youtuber

[@legend0945]

Didn't see him get KZbin cursed in a while. It probably passed to phi

[@CaptainScarLeg]

Aw, I was actually super interested to see MainMan coach you on Kazuya, that'd be a really fun video. I've been bamboozled.

[@aflockofbricks8988]

you really might be the goat tekken youtuber. I picked up kazuya yesterday and didn't feel like sifting through a combo video finding 1 or 2 that work with all his pickups like I always do, so I just put it off. Open youtube to see that you already did all the hard work for me! fantastic video

[@Death_Wish6_6]

the amount of fun/joy I felt radiating off of you made this so fun to watch.

[@Death_Wish6_6]

Hey just wanted to come back and say I just got Fujin on Kazuya, first character to blue! Thank you Phidx

[@Yozora_Jan]

Memes aside, I genuinely decided to try Kazuya after watching this and I finally found my character. I had been bouncing around the roster this entire time and not once did i think Kazuya would be my choice but after playing him and learning some of this execution, He's super fun. Thanks for the kickstart Phi.

[@alvinkim1305]

Thanks, Phidx. I wanted to learn how to get better with Mishimas and this is what pops up.

[@Albi9w]

The way the Reina stood down at 13:47 was the highlight for me honestly, he was that confident in his read

[@adonutplaysgames]

Phi is 100% a closet Mishima main. One day he'll come out of it, haha! What a sick video and I loved the ending! MASKU!

[@Lexicon865]

The day he goes from MainlessKing to MainManPhi will be a glorious day

[@robertduerler2226]

Man it's crazy how much you can talk and explain your line of thinking while playing a match. Streamers are the true gamers

[@abdullahdurrani1807]

Feeling blessed by this video as a Kazuya main, so much eye opening stuff! Loving this series so far

[@Terji]

Damn i was hoping mainman would actually be here

[@PhiDX]

Maybe in the future 😁

[@legend0945]

​@@PhiDXI'll take that as an official yes. You have no way out of it.

[@meysamsamadi7587]

That deep MASKU in the end. Seems to be a physiological reaction of one's body when one lands a clean sidestep electric.

[@mikusiae]

the first 30 seconds of this video made me question whether I actually woke up today or i’m still sleeping and my imagination is playing tricks on me

[@Yanikchan]

Awesome! Really appreciate the combo play before the matches!

[@jj6287]

This video was so fun to watch dude, nice work!

[@PendragonVaxas]

Really enjoying the series. Keep up the good work

[@RagDeGameR]

hey phi, love this style of videos, really helps in understanding how yall think and what do you guys actually look out for. please make more of them!!

[@RagDeGameR]

i think to emphasize, its great that you're not only teaching how to use certain characters but also explaining what your opponent is doing, what to look out for and possibly what to do to solve the issue @PhiDx

[@moveauntie9578]

Loving the PP series! Really gives perspective to those trying to learn tekken or a new character

[@sidfy84]

30:15 Attacking in the Asuka is always gonna be scary 30:22 *eating the parry*

[@Zuflux]

Really cool content! Hope you do more of it. As a Yoshi main I'm obviously hoping for a video on him, but imo all of these videos, especially your "Tekken King in 3 days" series is very helpful for absorbing universal matchup information.

[@pampamtamtam4001]

I love seeing the Kazuya gameplay in action. Please continue these!

[@zarkan86]

Hahaha the PhiDX combos are the best combos of the game :D

[@theveay]

Clickbait is strong with this one.

[@rundown132]

its all he knows what to do lol

[@wonis]

genuinely helped me pick up kaz again. thanks phi!

[@LE2CEMAN]

Thanks Phi! Currently trying to learn more Kazuya since September. As someone who took on learning the game instead of mashing for fun just this year, this helped quite a handful for a relatively condensed guide for Kazuya. I still need to be more consistent with his electrics though XD.

[@JohnWick2077s]

Would like to see Devil Jin next. Good video!

[@AB54099]

Now all you need is a boundless hatred for Jin. Just like Kazuya himself.

[@thanos5149]

I already have a boundless hatred for Jin's D2

[@panzalinopanzultimate4796]

This is my favorite series of yours yet. I use verbatim the exact same method to pick up fighting game characters (find the good moves first, find your situational moves/launchers, get a basic combo ender and then feel em' out from there). Only issue is as a Tekken rookie I don't have old knowledge of most characters "big moves" and those huge movelists make it hard for me actually find the good bits(wavu n other online guides are nice but most productions come off as "unfinished/unpolished"). With you pretty much doing the hard part for me... man if you round out the whole cast with this series you're gonna make a jack of all trades outta me.

[@darardk2280]

I think you should do more content like this. Very fun to watch, to see how even you struggle with playing other characters besides of your mains. Big fan of the series

I fucking love this series bro, Some Coaching Vids and some Learning Vids

[@brandonm9024]

Commenting as a Mighty Ruler Kazuya player and a Phi fan -- I was waiting for this vid :D Question for you, Phi -- how important would you say things like KBD and Wave Dashes are for Kaz's game plan?

[@KoufalKoufax]

mishimas need movement, KBD and Wave dash is one of the fundamentals you have to learn to play mishima correctly especially sidestepping.

[@kronksstronkstonks6360]

"As a Kazuya player you kinda have to be kind of a d*ckhead" - You're honestly so right about this. I find myself reducing my hellsweep count because I start to feel bad and I avoid grabs (a holdover from couch Tekken when grabs were homeruled to 1/round). naturally I lose almost every time because I'm identifying weaknesses then ignoring them. Need to adopt that South American Kazuya philosophy. Also, a question: You mention ws4,4 is really good, but I have always avoided it like the plague because on hit its -4, putting you in a 'cant attack or sidestep' (iirc) situation despite being a punish. As Kaz you, you yourself say, need to be constantly applying pressure because being passive = death, I cant justify putting myself at -4 for a bit of damage (and I avoid ws4 despite it being +8 in case I accidentally throw out the follow-up 4) because I'm immediately on the back foot again. Am I overthinking the downside of it being -4 or is it valid to be cautious of applying it? Edit: I was wrong about sidestep limitations at -4, -6 is unsidesteppable; thanks guys.

[@riastradh]

Can’t sidestep is -6 and up (down?)

[@Shirikatsu]

-4 is steppable. -6 is where it starts to get tight

[@TarktheTurk]

It’s good to be cautious but not in such a way where you won’t use it. you can test your opponent with it and see what their response is, at -4 if it’s blocked you can catch your opponent taking their turn with forward 2 (power crush) and try to interrupt the punish unless they jab I’d really recommend getting use to only ws4 and not 4 4 Ws4 on block into df2, while it isn’t actually a frame trap. It works so well even in blue ranks D4 to leg kick and enter crouch, ws4 their block, then df2, 40% chance you get that counter hit df2 because people want to take their turn

[@kronksstronkstonks6360]

Thanks folks, IDK why but I was sure I heard that -4 means you cant step so I've avoided it like the plague for locking me in place for ages now.

[@kronksstronkstonks6360]

@@TarktheTurk Thanks very much, thats all really useful stuff that I'll need to try out. I struggle with ws4 because T7 got me into the habit of needing to mash punish to avoid bad connection ruining the timing of punishment, so that makes ws4 hard to manage for me - Ill need to get out of that muscle memory tbf, T8 is much more stable I feel so that habit isnt needed.

[@Iamkiingdrew]

Phi it’s 4am here bro … I appreciate the valiant effort lol

“We don’t launch punish we’re Mishimas” is iconic

[@Real_Petty]

I want to see you follow Lil Majin’s King guide next! I think this would be a good series. Because you’re a great coach, so to see you critique/modify others guide to your own playstyle is interesting

[@Tetto8]

It would be really cool to get a video with MainMan couching you with Kazuya 👌🏻🔥

[@sharmz7540]

I thought I’d never see the day PHI would play Kazuya

[@collinedechiasse5771]

[@ThisIsNotSGHNTZ]

The most important rules to play Kazuya: - 1,1,2 punish everything - Do the hardest and most inconsistent combos possible - Hellsweep - Drop your rage art mid combo - Learn FF2~F > CD1+2 > 5x EWGFs > microdash B2>2,1+2 for hardest max dmg heat dash combo... For the famous 69 number

You made me realise how advance i was with kazuya but im learning alot from this im doing combos that are insane like ewgf x2 dash ewgf dash 3,1,4 cancel df1,4 or df1,2 or fddf3 i need to play more basic

[@CapitanBublo]

Cool to see Kazuya getting some love. Btw does someone know which song is set for Urban Square? ( 6:51 )

[@CapitanBublo]

Found out it's Xiaoyu Stage (Console version) from Tag 1

[@L02345]

for the wave dash ws2 i saw a momo dog video and he said qudans told him to just crouch into 2 on devil jin instead of the difficulty cancel for the ws2 and i think the same can be done on kazuya its just a little bit slower but if its good enough for qudans it’s good enough for me

[@PhiDX]

Oooo I'll try this

[@ThisIsNotSGHNTZ]

I just cancel the crouch dash with forward into ducking, it's a bit slower I think, but the high execution cancel is too hard to do consistently, so I just do it in the easy, slower, but consistent way, still can get stuff like standing 2, down 2 or even db2 sometimes because sometimes you press the 2 too early(or if you want to do WS1,2 you get dickjab or standing 1,2), but it's a lot safer than getting accidental wgfs, I think. This is funny because I have no problem doing Bryan's instant FCDF2/4 which is a very similar input to crouch dash cancel. I mean it's basically just 1 less crouch dash, because the crouch dash into forward ducking will replace the last crouch dash you would do to cancel it into ws2. It's probably covers less distance, and you will not realign with the opponent that well(matters more for ws1,2 and ws1+2), plus if you go for WS1+2 you will have a few standing 1+2 missinput which is bad. And also the animation is a bit more obvious, but not that noticable.

[@El-Burrito]

Yoooo no way he said it!

[@stuc2k]

Love the series. The main thing I’m getting out of this is how to keep it based in learning and gaining experience. My tendency to get angry really holds me back from getting better. You got hit with stuff that would have me turning the game off to go play something else.

[@Quince477]

GOATED title LMAO

[@clipCommander101]

You can also just hold back for iws2. As long as its input before the 2
