Ngl it was nice watching you lock in from the beginning instead of starting off getting the paws put on you cause you’re reminding us why we’re here lol

[@caspian6393]

What bro

[@riastradh]

@@caspian6393 what’s wrong

[@kaminarikurenai3118]

@@riastradhthat’s why I’m saying. I also thought it was cool to watch him lock in like that

[@theogsentinel739]

The Lock-In from Lotus was insane!

[@CoordinatedC]

Lotus, i havent played a tekken since....like 4 but finding your content has basically inspired me to play tekken again thank you for being entertaining and inspiring sir. Salute

[@kamikazma3126]

Honestly it’s always great hearing you speak but the lock in was phenomenal. Would love to see more of it, don’t really get to see that from you often. Keep up the great work!

[@mattfrosty8775]

Fightin 2 sets at 100% gamer lean bro you gotta walk that off lol. After this vid I'd like to see your Hwo & Azu in these higher ranks those would be fire content imo

[@JujuColaa]

The instant lock in is insane! You looking to push to blue or roll a 4th character? Hopefully we can run a set in the purples given a chance.

[@RuTo94]

GL on the climb to blue ranks

[@lucky-13gof47]

Had no idea I was actually playing you yesterday, I thought someone had just beat you to the name. Ggs. Great execution.

[@TuffGrittz]

No bull I’m all for more Lotus ASMR ranked matches 💯

[@josepartida1711]

happened to me yesterday, i swear i broke jin's annoying spin slam but the bloody lag must run in the kazama family lol btw, good video, i'm a hwo trying to get into red at the moment

[@anonymousfalcon6530]

I love that combo u do

[@Merlinacus]

Looks like I'm not the only one who's got some new moves this time around.

[@mustabindawind]

Ayo...that blind fold fit hits different..got me feeling some type of way

[@NateDdragon]

megawatt

[@kodiakplayerno5]

you did some video in dbfz where you were talking over your game i think it would be nice doing something like that for tekken also just your tought process as the game goes on

[@Wopexotics617]

I like the lock in at the beginning, worry about the intro after getting the 1st W

[@iSyllable]

Lotus locked in is such a great watch

[@cipherprovidence6119]

W UPLOAD LETS GOOOO ❤

[@The5thStunt]

16:25 It's not the connection, it's their pc chugging. They need to lower the settings

[@DecksterGaming]

4:36 was a good combo without the character charge up but the lag is mainly from your opponents WiFi dropping and not your WiFi dropping. I notice their are tekken players who lag switch for a win which is crazy 😂

[@justified9537]

Ngl that’s why I mostly avoid WiFi matches the lag is inevitable

[@ImtooSleepy]

Lotus have u learned a route that doesn’t involve going into burst so early I think it might benefit you to hold it until second combo

[@jeffreyjohnson3179]

Lotus is gonna be android 17 in the tournament of power againdt rdc fr💀

[@diabolic766]

Nah bros Jiren

[@Aarameshi]

Love the blind fit

[@GoldenQ9]

Im stuck in red rank fighting for my life lol im staring at purple its so close 😂

[@zpl68]

2:52 nice step

[@ratfink2079]

Oooooh thats how to escape red ranks, I simply must focus up more

[@RynKen]

Just letting your actions speak for themselves is pretty cool.

[@warrencreo-employee9909]

Lock-in Lotus don't worry

[@danteb925]

Don't know who this dude is, but he has an FLCL opening, so I like him.

[@kelvinz29]

Tenryu to mighty ruler was the hardest for me.

[@jv_valentine6gx594]

I just made it to Tenryu with my main Jun just got Reina & Devil Jin to Shinryu yesterday Reina & Devil Jin are under Jun's rank Tenryu my Jun is almost at mighty ruler close to getting out of the red ranks

[@mclambtj]

4:42 Does anyone know what this ki charge looking input is supposed to be used for? Getting back into Tekken and learning combos and I don't know what 1+2+3+4 mash is supposed to do or what you're supposed to do after it.

[@riastradh]

It’s literally just a ki charge. It’s used to flex but I think when you do it the next hit anyone does is automatically a Counter Hit.

[@masskin3743]

I'm kind of new to fighting games like I played a little bit of mortal Kombat 11 and I play for honor a lot (but I don't like that really counts as a fighting game) And I was thinking about getting tekken 8 but it seems really difficult to get into should I spend the money on it or not

[@LotusAsakura]

I think Tekken is a difficult but rewarding game. It’s really different from Mortal Kombat so you might struggle at first but that’s an expected part of the learning process. I think this might be the most fun and most accessible that Tekken has ever been. I think it’s worth trying out because most people seem to be having a great time. You just have to not get too discouraged if you struggle a bit at first.

[@Desmxnd-]

I was kind of the same as you, all I really played was a few fighting games here and there but never got into it seriously or was really good at anything as hard as Tekken. I'm red rank now and all it takes is practice and everything else is muscle memory for the most part when it comes to your own combos and stuff, I highly recommend it though as I think this is the most fun I've had in a fighting game and to just not give up, you'll impress yourself and try not to worry about ranks all that much, just have fun.

[@bktrashfg]

I haven't played Tekken since '98 and this is honestly the most fun I've had playing fighting games ever, and I am not good. But there's a lot of great people to learn from, a dope starting roster, and you can improve a lot if you have the time. Honestly, I'd suggest watching the videos Lotus did with Afro Senju (AfroSenju XL) -- the gems Lotus drops in those collab videos are what have allowed me to get started learning characters and get through the early ranks.

[@SorrowsPrison]

This is my first Tekken and it's amazing ngl

[@Supernir]

Start now bro, nows the best time 😊

[@coffeebean_tamer]

Is it just me or Hwoarang move set been completely refined amd perfected?; Baek Student has surpassed master.

[@yuridied9415]

you inspired me to pick up hwoarang

[@LOSTGAM3R]

nice FLCL intro

[@Durielhall]

Starting locked like that … you should do it more I was locked wit you

[@planetviision9702]

I just escaped 😭🔥

[@jeffreyjohnson3179]

Doto is gonna be (manga) gohan and deion *could* be Vegeta...afro boutta be krillin if he doesn't train more

[@sLasHeRxXx07]

How about how to get out of purple

[@chaoslordlordofchaos]

Can't help notice that you prefer full blind over half blind. XD

[@moop1522]

Where's the trunks hwang skin?

[@cluiz-ix9hh]

So who is next character?

[@marvinanciro207]

Can you play with cloud805

[@TaylorEarthsHero]

I’ll never get there let alone escape. Can’t beat anybody above me and am very capable of losing to those below me.

[@SorrowsPrison]

Day 3 of asking Lotus to play steve

[@hasnaatsaeed4]

Thats how i am

[@NeloAlberto16]

Im in purple now and im getting cooked

[@yxxngghoul3349]

I’m not gonna lie I wanna play hwoarang just because lotus makes him look easy but Ik im gonna struggle

[@yxxngghoul3349]

I’ve decided I’m gonna play him someone help me understand what combo he’s doing and how I do it

[@WallStreetJON]

If you ever blue screen again just dub over it about what your doing or IRL stuff. Really enjoying your content.

[@achilldude]

Bro really said lock in😂

[@codred84]

When it says the connection is good and it still lags that means his computer can't run the game.

I made mighty ruler rq 😂 ...

[@wickedgaming9632]

What an intro!! Went silent cuz you had to stand on business real quick

[@travisswifty7715]

You should pick up a new character and grind you’re way threw Ranked again! I’m sure I speak for mostly everybody when I say I’d love to see the Ranked sessions continue.. maybe pick up a character that never gets picked / main’d 👍🏻

[@LotusAsakura]

Well it's not like this is the max rank or even close to it loool. I can keep playing this same character and try to get even higher (spoiler: I will)

[@travisswifty7715]

@@LotusAsakura Good enough for me! Glad to know the Ranked grind continues and just know that I’m here for it 💪🏻💜

[@bloodyjar3273]

Escaping red ranks requires just being patient, knowing your character and capitalizing on your opponents mistakes. TEKKEN is a hard game so don't be discouraged when losing just play and learn in the meantime. But seriously all the rage quitters need to kick rocks.

[@ibelieveitcauseiseentit9630]

Kinda hypocritical for getting angry at the rage quitters. It's like your getting mad at someone for getting mad😂 And no I don't rage quit. I actually have my settings set to fight any rank I figure fighting people four or five ranks above me will help me learn more anyways. And I've only made it out of Gyru once for about 3 matches. Got matched up with a raijin might as well have been playing with an O G Atari controller.

[@bloodyjar3273]

@@ibelieveitcauseiseentit9630 You sound like an idiot ngl. Rage quitting in a game is corny regardless.
