How to Learn About Your Opponent - Quick Tips

[@l_b_a_n]

i’m convinced that every time his face goes off camera between the matches, he just takes a fat bong rip.

[@rizzy81]

Not gonna lie , the thought crossed my mind or he may be tired just 😂

[@hugod3632]

I think it's more like he takes a big fat check from the 50 ads that played in my face

Anakin i want to thank you for all the effort you put in for us. A true enrichment for the tekken community. :)

I had a question to ask. This was from a discussion I was having with a colleague of mine: Is it best to learn Tekken fundamentals by sticking to one of your core / main character or picking different characters depending on what aspect of the game you want to learn? This is keeping in mind that I consider myself somewhere in between intermediate and expert. I'm not sure if you've touched on this in one of your streams/videos but it's something I had to ask...

[@TkAnakin]

It's all up to you. Picking up different characters can definitely open your eyes to new things that your character may not have had. I would say that if you've spent a very long time playing just one character, it wouldnt hurt to try. It also keeps the game fresh and fun by picking up someone new. At the end of the day it's all about having fun. Dont try to pick up new characters just because someone said so, or just because you think itll help you win more games. As an intermediate player, the game still has to many new things to explore and learn. Just keep having fun, and you'll keep learning and getting better. Good luck!

Got so much respect for you brother ! Great teacher !

[@l.a.w-2323]

Thank you so much anakin for using law for the example it helps me open my eyes more as law player and a Tekken player overall

[@enigmasdestiny1355]

Funny thing is, it's very basic Law things he was doing. His Law doesn't have much flare right now (or rather from what we have seen, who knows how old this clip is) but from basic knowledge and learning the frames on key moves he's able to pull those out. And fake flip kicks are just way too good to troll with to not use. I'm an east coast (South US) Law main. We can play if you want.

[@therealmccoy2004]

I use to play with law.. but when T7 came out I saw too many and I dropped him. Anakin I need a anti-steve fox for my JACK 7 I'm stuck in ruler ranks🤔

[@kylefields3951]

You have to be ready to liberally use high crush and mix up your timing. The best piece of anti Steve I can give as a Steve main is to *Truly* not press when you have the life lead. Don't be afraid to straight up play lame as fuck, as a competitor, it is not your job to win the match when you have the lead, it is the opponent's job to not lose because rounds are timed, they don't have forever to win, they only have 60 seconds, use that to your advantage. And if your throw breaks and backwards movement are on point, it is a difficult task for a Steve to truly get a comeback. The moves to watch out for from Steve when you have the life lead is extended ducking blue unblockable which loses to good backwards movement, The Foot Stomp which requires he be right up on you which means that if you're moving backwards to avoid extended ducking you're already naturally out of range of this attack as well and 1+2 throws, and a 2 throw. Other moves to watch out when you have the life lead are Dempsey Roll, (it's much deadlier than players seem to think it is) so don't use highs if you can avoid it, try not to step when in range of his attacks, and don't whiff because of EX-Sonic Fang 14 Launcher from Rage. So when the Steve has Rage, only step when you're clearly out of his attack range, and don't press. It is legitimately way more important to play like a Korean against Steve when you want to close him out, more so than any other character. In summary, use more high evasive attacks, don't be afraid to truly chill on the life lead when you have it, be careful with your steps, and try not to use high attacks when he's in rage. Jack Hammer playstyle is straight up bad against Steve, but the liberal use of Down Back 1 or whichever one Jack has that high crushes and slaps the shin is great! Debug is for sure risky, but it'll beat Back 1 from Steve clean so keep that in mind too. You got any Jack-7 playing advice? I'm also just ready to discuss more of the game in general because I like talking about it. But sorry that this response came a little late.

Dayum intro

[@TheDiamondSkye]

How do you try to understand a person "doesn't know" when you've made multiple successful reads that have punished them heavily, during a match? Especially in a ft2. Example, punishing hellsweep multiple times to the point you know their timing, but they still do it anyway or someone who doesn't even know how you'v gotten that info. I tend to doubt myself a lot during those matches due to how good the mix is or when someone truly doesn't even understand what i'm doing and I lose quite a few games for it. There's so many variables to that, was wondering what was a way that you try to decide that someone is adjusting or that you've made the accurate answer for the situation so that you can continue to make that answer next time.

[@AlarmingGeneral]

I think that if what you're doing is working, there is no reason to change. When you find that you are no longer finding success that should be the point that you mix up. Keep it simple.

[@agent27433]

Hi, I'm struggling to read my opponents when it comes to low attacks. What should I do?

[@loxzone1]

What if you play someone who can change their strats on the fly as soon as you catch on?

[@JoeMama-house]

That's what they call a good set. But it's your job to still look for major/minor imperfections in their play and adapt. Maybe they stopped using a bad low as much after block/punishing but continue to whiff at a certain range, every round you should be trying to gather more info for the download

[@examprepscotland]

[@WBrizzle81]

[@Sangria713]

Only one I know that plays ling and lei is p.ling, but idk, there's probably some weird crossover for those 2 characters. Edit: Not saying quancena is pling or anything, he's probably just some guy.

[@JustN0tMe]

Wtf man 7:57 Tell me if I got something wrong 1-You backdash to see how he reacts and you punished his whiff 2-SS>b4(because of the wall) in case he presses you get another whiff punish and the "safe" mid hits and you get free damage 3-you adjusted to the situation and got a free ff3 and soccer kick 4- this is the one I want to know...b,df cancel to make him crouch and f3 to launch or be neutral in case he stand blocked?

[@TkAnakin]

B df4 cancel to f3 is a trap that I like to do often Basically once the opponent realizes that I cancel the move and want to attack me, it's too late because f3 is already coming out. It's a trap to counter hit them.

[@JustN0tMe]

@@TkAnakin oh thanks 👍 Im trying to understand the intention of each play and got stuck on that because of the cancel(in my mind the b,df4 cancel was to force the opponent to crouch block, granting you additional frames) Keep up the great job👊

[@TkAnakin]

@@JustN0tMe it definitely helps that the b df4 makes them crouch block

[@Patron130]

do a video about steve. He’s literally the hardest character imo

[@loongaming105]

I literally only play steve. Hes a great character with insane damage output, cheeky moves, insane read punish and crazy good movement. I'm not good at the game imo, im about 900 wins deep and keep dropping usurper rank. Reguardless, one thing that I have been told that I do wrong is that I press a lot of buttons. If you can actually look at the game make reads like anakin teaches you will go REALLY far REALLY fast as steve. Hes good at playing defensive so you can actually take time and learn what your opponent will do as you play him. Once you familiarize yourself with his crazy long move list and punishments hes an all around great character. If you wanna pick up steve I highly encourage it because imo hes just a blast to play. I was super discouraged at first but people seemed to give me props no matter how bad I played just for I guess "participating" in trying to play a good Steve. Not trying to like jerk myself off in any way but you are kinda like a unicorn when playing in ranked (as far as I know from the dans to yellow and even smurfs are surprised to see it) so good chance you will meet some great players along the way who are totally happy to play you and help you learn.

[@terencema6714]

So you react to certain moves by reading your opponent’s behavioral patterns. How much is left to reacting to the actual move animations? Does the 80/20 rule apply here?

[@Esthoneal]

Reacting to move animations has more to do with ducking or ss slow moves or even ducking/ss strings.

[@terencema6714]

@@Esthoneal So at 2:48 , Anakin says he blocks low because he knows he's willing to go low early. That's a combo of reading the opponent and the animation, right? When is it not about the animation?

[@Esthoneal]

@@terencema6714 I guess you are right about that situation cause he reacted to the animation of the move before the ch so he knew it was coming. But had that not happen say he got hit by it. Then next round he goes for it early again then that would be reacting to the animation

I suggest only putting the parts you talk in video that is supposed to be a lesson, but it's only my opinion

He is demonstrating whatever he talks about in the match itself, so it would be silly to remove any gameplay. Honestly, you can learn just from watching him play. I know, personally that Lei player spamming razor rush would have pissed me off and made me impatient, so it’s interesting to see how Anakin dealt with it.

You cannot on a broken connection. Ps4/Xbox no way. Why is it so many of these content creators forget to mention the delay that has HUGE impact on your performance as a player? Or is this meant only for Japanese and Korean? Because Europe suffers due to bad netcode even PC, is terrible. I played 2 years. And it took me so long to realise I first need to adapt to lag, than I have to know when lag flunctuates, than I have to learn characters that work WELL with lag, and their move list that has advantage on lag. That some characters who are well punishable. Become instantly a 50/50 killing machine due to bad netcode and low to none response time. Start talking about that first before you get new players to play this game seriously!!!
