How to Beat Defensive Players

A TEKKEN 7 Session where I describe how to first recognize defensive opponents and then show a way to make the turtles feel uncomfortable. A lot of people have trouble against opponents who defend and guard all day so hopefully this video will help you guys out.

[@TheProswagonist]

As someone who played defensively against Anakin the other day. Hearing this makes a lot of sense as to how he beat me. Now I just gotta figure out a way to cover that weakness.

[@TkAnakin]

Good games!

[@Shieldclock]

its good to see anakin less shy and communicating with his chat way more

[@masajmahdiq2472]

I don't remember Anakin being shy ....he has always been chill in his streams

[@RipsharkTV]

He talks way too much to be shy lol

More Bryan content please! Edit: As for that music comment, I actually turned the background music off. It helps me to better confirm hits by listening to and for audio cues.

[@Rabid_Bonsin]

I 100% turned off my bgm about 2 weeks ago, and I've gone through a dramatic improvement. I find that when I'm at a disadvantage, I can resist panic-mode easier than when I have the bgm blaring through my speakers.

[@Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

For me I just turn all the stages Azura 1st theme 🙂

[@Jeffway24]

Thanks for all the content bro. I’ve learned so much already and it is helping me enjoy the game even more.

[@addydiesel6627]

I'd rather fight a calculating defensive opponent than a super aggressive button masher who don't know block. Any day.

[@DKC_Returns]

right? like they end up stealing your turn and challenging your frames at good times and they don't even know that they are.

[@Sharethepain]

Hwoarang players be like.

[@inkredibill6352]

You think that until you meet a really good Jack or Dragunov.

[@tonycliftonshades]

@@inkredibill6352 Fr, I'd rather play aggressive players since they're sometimes easy to predict if they use the same flow chart. Turtling/defensive players are so fucking annoying, man.

[@kingconan4crom]

@Anakin I agree with most of what you said in this vid, but regardless of whether you are fighting JDCR or not, I would NEVER underestimate my opponent and what they are capable of.

[@claypidgeon2808]

This describes exactly how I play. Defensive in neutral and absolutely crumble once the Paul/Steve/Hwo/Lei player closes the gap.

[@molaughsproductions7021]

Everytime I face a Hwo I just pray they don't find out that if they blast me with pressure for 3 rounds straight I'll lose automatically 😭😭😭

[@thedemoman1813]

Me too 😅

[@mikeg4490]

Clay Pidgeon Hwo players are good for practicing your movement and spacing, they’re usually all offense so use that iverly aggression against them

[@timothyhall4794]

@@molaughsproductions7021 I used to be so scared of Hwo, but once I learned almost every Hwo can't help but whiff buttons in your face, and set everything up behind highs and lows, the match up has totally flipped for me. I can't remember the last time I lost to a Hwo.

[@ibrushmyteethbeforeieatass1329]

I agree with paul and steve but hwo and lei aren't too scary

[@WearYourGrasses]

You are a cool guy, Anakin. Stay awesome.

[@elvivacious9487]

Why pay some casual streamer a hundred bucks when we got anakin providing better advice for free

[@EternalSilverDragon]

Thanks for the lessons, Anakin. Don't believe everything the chat tells you. TMM did charge for private lessons, but he stopped doing that a long time ago. Some people just like to hate on him, or maybe they're just out of date.

[@aadam3657]

Thnx man. These are very helpful tips!!

[@joeo_8968]

Best strategy I learned from you master is the dash block! It's working!

[@bluelion7342]

I swear more and more people are playing completely defensively now. It's like every match, I just see people stay at the end of the screen and wait for you to do moves. I have literally stopped attacking before and they will wait at the end of the stage and do nothing. Completely boring players.

[@samuelzaky9531]

Hey Anakin, can you also point out what the people you're playing are doing well? It seems like you're only saying that they're doing badly. It would be helpful to show little things they're doing right.

[@UltimateBallaPOM]

All the things they aren't doing badly

[@Gibbidens]

"That's how he looses 99% of his matches" Damn...that felt personal uuugh...I frequently do like that Heihachi did (in SCVI tho), but not because I do not respect my opponent, I do so because I don't want to get pressured in the corner or have to endure a whole round against brain damaging frame traps. Maybe not 99% of the times, but 50% for sure, I just go for it.

[@czarmichaelgaddieldelacruz3337]

NOTIFICATION GANG IN DA HOUSE

[@mendagiojoenyls.433]

Can you upload a guide about breaking a throw? How to react for incoming throws. Its really hard for me to read throws/grabs.

[@UltimateBallaPOM]

Go Lab. Remember these dudes have been doing it for years. Start super basic. Take Dragonuv, go to Practice make him do the F1+4 and F2+3 under Repeat Action. Practice on 1 side until you're breaking throws more times than not. First start at the other side on the screen and try to get used to the leading hand.

[@Zero67891]

Always focus on the arms. Know the range you can be thrown at. Past range 1 and you don’t need to worry at it.

[@sendhelp8441]

Boxers throw break trainer on android. Try practicing that first.

[@TheNorthsider615]

Hey anakin, I need some advice. Currently a destroyer drag and jugg byran but still feel weak in the game. I want to level up my footsie game, obviously whiff punish and training players is the basic but sometimes while training players to read some move I botched it and get hit and after that I notice I'll do a flow chart to see what work. Sometimes I'm good and win but I feel I'm not getting better. What mind frame or ideas in practice mode I should use to better this part of my game. P.S. I'll be picking up kazuya and want to see this aspect be noticably better in my gameplay. Btw you create great content if you already made a video about this can you tag it in my reply?

100 or 200 dollars for one single session with not even one of the best of the best? If so, that guy is completely fucked up in his head. I'd charge 2 or 3 dollars max for a session if I was at a level like Anakin, Knee or JDCR. But it's unlikely I would charge any money. For possibly getting people really good AT A GAME??? Nah, that's kinda evil, man.
