How I ESCAPED The RED RANKS in Tekken 8!

[@riastradh]

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!

[@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.

[@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

[@The5thStunt]

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

[@zpl68]

2:52 nice step

[@lucky-13gof47]

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

[@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 😂

[@GoldenQ9]

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

[@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 😊

[@RuTo94]

GL on the climb to blue ranks

[@Merlinacus]

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

[@justified9537]

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

[@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

[@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

[@codred84]

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

[@Rain87166]

"WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, NOTHING CAN HAPPEN TO YOU THATS REALLY BAD... later?"

[@jeffreyjohnson3179]

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

[@diabolic766]

Nah bros Jiren

[@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.

[@mustabindawind]

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

[@NateDdragon]

[@danteb925]

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

[@TuffGrittz]

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

[@Wopexotics617]

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

[@jeffreyjohnson3179]

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

[@coffeebean_tamer]

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

[@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

[@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

[@RynKen]

Just letting your actions speak for themselves is pretty cool.

[@iSyllable]

Lotus locked in is such a great watch

[@ratfink2079]

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

[@anonymousfalcon6530]

I love that combo u do

[@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.

[@kelvinz29]

Tenryu to mighty ruler was the hardest for me.

[@warrencreo-employee9909]

Lock-in Lotus don't worry

[@Aarameshi]

Love the blind fit

[@chaoslordlordofchaos]

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

[@cluiz-ix9hh]

So who is next character?

How about how to get out of purple

Where's the trunks hwang skin?

[@WallStreetJON]

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

[@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.

Day 3 of asking Lotus to play steve

[@planetviision9702]

I just escaped 😭🔥

[@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]
