[@notgonnapay]

Nah, we just read the manuals.

[@spiralgodking9877]

Not all characters can wall jump though.

[@mashn8328]

You can also hold down after pressing 1 to flip on your stomach. It’s useful for characters like dragonov to use his walking dead tackle to tackle someone or quickly run away, you can even use the attack in the video to break their legs for a decent chunk of damage if you flip face down and leg towards.

[@JoyKazuhira]

the 1st clip, the powerbomb and how reina reacts to that is too much 😂

[@TyrantRedNova]

Some characters also have a stronger spring kick if you press b 3+4, where they rise with your back towards the other player. King is and example of character that has this. It is stronger than the other spring kick, but it leaves you more vulnerable

[@novanation5870]

Some more knowledge for one option. 3+4 When your opponent wakes up with 3+4, depending on where you're hit on block during the animation, you can either launch or do a -14 punish. Hitting early is -21, while hitting late is -14. Unless you are a character, like lee or Paul, with a safe on block df2 launcher, if you aren't sure whether or not you got hit early or late, just do your highest damage non launch punisher. If you are kazuya, just throw out electric. It either launches or they block for you having +5 with knock back. Devil Jin, if you're confident, D3+4 cancan is a i15 launcher. Reina, Electric or df2 (df2 is unsafe at -12) Jin, electric if not sure, f3,1 if you know you got hit on block late, and in heat this launches, or uf4 hopkick or D3+4 cancan if you get hit early. Also remember, if you don't block 3+4, you're still + if you're hit early, around +5 so it's still your turn.

Best way to wake up is to know which moves the opponent character has and to watch your opponent.

[@earlanderson666]

I just lay there to see what you’re gonna do. A lot of times, the momentum of the opponent may break because they expect me to get up quick after a knock down. On the opposite end, never just lay there with me cuz you’re ass is getting Law Nunchucked lmao 😂😂😂

[@kazamaskeyblade7311]

You can also hold forward and do a kip-up kick. It's a little safer than other options, but also does very little damage, and the opponent has to be up in your grill iot get hit. You have to hold or tap forward as you hit the ground from a launch.

Previously Holding Up means 100% guarding against any High/Mid. Now, you get screwed royally and the safest way is to just stay still and watch the sky there might be a lucky star that can grant your wish of waking up safely.

Bro I've been looking for these options for damn near a month, youtube shorts is about to get me the fujin 😅

Should say that holding up gets you up quickest. And there's kip up which is totally useless.

[@RuTo94]

One major get up he forgot is I think it’s called kip up you hold forward performing a half semi spring kick off the floor getting up from getting knocked down

[@heyarcherqq]

Honestly best wake up option is tech roll, sometimes toe kick or get up on spot and block

[@nubesock5231]

Staying in the ground in certain matchups also isnt terrible

[@Its_PizzaTime]

Since King is so popular: If you get grabbed by his Giant Swing throw, you can press 1 or 2 as you hit the ground to tech it and take less damage. This can save your life, unless you hit the wall.

[@NeCoruption]

You missed one. The instant kip up that i can never seem to do

[@Ghakimx]

Prior to Tekken 7, holding back to backroll was a horrible option cuz your opponent could refloat you. Against the wall, do not wake up backwards but instead hold up cuz your opponent can still hit you before you can guard.

[@loligerpoper5998]

Press 1 or two and hold down or up to roll to the side and stay on the ground

[@allenvin3229]

During toe kick you count as standing and can be easily launched.

[@calumpittendreigh9695]

I wish there was a wake up attack that gives you a shield to counter all the aggressive fuckers that just so go crazy on you.

U forgot 2 things. U can hold f right before landing for a shorter, quicker springkick which used to give feng a full combo in 7(not sure if it's the same in 8) also some characters in 7 used to have special wake up options like alisa & dvj

[@Exile0369]

[@NancyLankford-m3y]

I didn't see the one where you hold forward when you hit the ground to do a faster spring kick that can net you a combo convert if you catch an airborne opponent.

You actually forgot the BEST wake up option the quick spring, on the the way down, your Hold Forward and its the safest mid option that punish against aggressive opponents . Feng wei broken ass gets a full launch from his version and others can too, i see this the most in high level play and it makes a huge difference in matchups

[@sown-laughter4351]

forgot df while down for guarding vs a running enemy attack, also counters low grabs like King at head.

[@588Board]

Also the option to stay down after a roll. Too many aggressive players go for the mid for your wake up.

[@GloryBlazer]

And this is not even all the options, you can do 1~D or D1~D for roll and then stay on ground again. I think you can also roll forward and then wakeup kick. Another thing to note is that pressing up into DB is faster than waking up with DB.

[@alexxxmaxxx]

You forgot the especial wake up of Alisa , Kuma , marduk , lei etc etc

[@lanquage_2733]

breh was jus sayin i need to learn this 💯🔥🙏🏾

[@delighted9062]

So that's how they do it. Most of the time when you're on the ground and your health is super low, they do a low attack to finish.

[@solidsnake434]

Missing a lot of options, it also depends on if you are facing up or down, feet's first to the opponent or head towards opponent, even then sometimes you might end up sideways and you have to consider the time it takes to rotate after getting up either for offense or defense

Something I haven't been able to find much information about I know pressing up is the quickest way to block standing. But I'm unsure if holding Down-Back is the quickest way to crouch block or if it's press Up then Down-Back. Do you know which is faster?

[@JeiYu-w7i]

And if you roll sideways you could press forward or back so you can do a 1+2 in a safe manner.. which in fact they wont teach you because its their key to winning games

[@Adjo1991]

You forgot the kip up by tapping towards the opponent

[@ACloudWithoutAir]

you can also roll forward into low or mid kick. back, downback and up arent always a good idea, as there is a frame disadvantage entirely for your opponent to launch you during it as you generally are counted as standing somewhat so some highs and all mids can catch you during get up and get launched without fair defense. 3+4 is completely terrible, its only use i could see is land a killing blow if the opponent mashes at the end and commits from a certain distance that isnt too close or too far. too close, and 3+4 will get stopped even by lows despite your lower half of your body is already off the ground. too far. and 3+4 has equally terrible whiffed ending lag. there is also completely 0 tracking on 3+4 and 1+2 so its easy to just completely dodge them mashing sidestep if you read it. 3+4 and 1+2 are terrible ideas against power crushes and heat engage, if youre midair on one of those, they can get you as a launch with the heat engage. 1+2, if you ever manage to do it with your opponent on the defensive, they will always block even after the 1+2 cuz its universal and you learn quick that its safe, so going for an unsafe launcher of any sort is not going to pay off. low kick is terrible and you're better off just doing the proned low kick even though its unsafe on block, the proned low kick is way faster to stop mashers from launching you mid-get up retaliation, because a lot of low kicks can be punished too, mid kick your best bet, from a certain distance. pure defensive is just roll in the background or foreground depending on your opponent's most weakest side of tracking. the worst thing is, Ukemi in this game is trash, you practically have no options that are super fair. You can also tech flip in place pressing forward which is ridiculously unsafe, it also has a weak hit to it. but ive surprisingly gotten a lot of f1+2 launchers with Lars out of forward tech press. Ukemi sucks and Oki is broken on some characters as there are just tons of launchers that also have a dragging hitbox on the ground that even hit you prone and is really dumb. never use 1+2 or 3+4 when youre up against the wall. I find doing sideroll into forward roll or one of the kicks, does not work at all, based on the rhythm of most players. but the timing is also just as bad with rolling sideways or not and then doing a retaliating kick. Some characters are absolute monsters based on how you are facing the ground, head back, up or down, head front, up and down can be arguably way worse. There is also a lot of lag on get up standing unlike 7, I used to u, uf4 with Lars to getup-orbital and do a whole combo on them immediately and it worked, but in 8 it can get thrown. theres too much lag standing to airborne, and u, uf3 also is too slow.

[@xXSH1N0B1Xx]

Not all options.. you can sideroll and hold down to stay grounded.. but it flips you from your belly to your back or vise versa.. creating yet anorher layer of oki.. as you cannot fucking do a toekick from every downed position(or getupkick)
