[@Tensai.]

its all fun and games until you wavedash into a df2

[@grantgarbour]

😂😂 gotta learn how to wave dash guard

[@juliannewman943]

_ Tensai all the time

[@christopherpeoples583]

Yep

[@chacazulo1987]

Yea lol, that sucks so bad.

[@MultiUnknowen]

hold f then lean into df

[@joshpuffpufftekken]

Adrian you make Tekken accessible to the masses. You are the Main Man

[@KirikoKazama]

Glad I'm not the only one who gets hyped over wavedashing

[@xDragunovax]

Jay Ziko yep!

[@MrZayJames]

I can only wavedash that fast like 2 times. Otherwise bnf lol

[@xDragunovax]

zeke2solid try doing it at your own pace and always always practice :D put at least 30 mins each day it’ll help

[@prod.antisocialflexerr]

I most def get hyped😭😭

[@EternalSilverDragon]

Someone doing a wavedash in game is saying "I'm going to hit you." Someone doing a wavedash in real life is saying "I want you to hit me."

[@charlieflight6124]

Yeah, so we can hit that just frame counter punch that hits harder than Miguel's one shot move.

[@olbaze]

The "10 successful repetitions" technique has one benefit that was not mentioned: It develops a muscle memory where you will feel the mistake, even before you see it in the command history.

[@ShawnieKDC]

I did a real life wavedash and had Kodee and Speedkicks laughing on Twitter two years ago lol

[@aztekenen1]

you're a hero lmao. need more stuff like that

[@vinicinfodexota5083]

WHERE IS THE VIDDDD MAN, i wanna see this ahahah

[@9throchannel659]

Wavedash looks cool because it looks like a speedrun secret hard to do cancel technique that is beyond casual player's mind

[@sandbar5700]

5 years later and this guide holds up amazingly. Playing on arcade stick for the first time and this helped me go through the motion slowly even though I have played a lot of heihachi on pad

[@MFUnicornBey]

0:50 Because its technical and hard to do, it adds worth to the movement. I felt so cool doing my first tripple w-dash into 1 with jin in game.

[@etheros7557]

Playing ranked as Jin got a bit easier after spending a week in practice mode following your advices from your Jin video, now will go back to practice mode to learn wavedashing

[@lorenzocaselli3969]

I love when you start going off topic at the beginning of the video, it always makes me chuckle

[@hazardx32]

Literally a genius at explaining how to execute it, just gotta practice it a lil more my self. I was already familiar with wavedashing, but you just made it so much easier thanks so much.

[@stripesisdead]

Thank you for the tutorial, and believe it or not someone did fight like that in real life. Joe Frazier fought with a bobbing weaving motion that looks a bit like wave dashing. It was such an effective form of movement he was able to beat Muhammad Ali, not with that alone but it helped.

[@juliannewman943]

Main man made me the biggest devil Jin fan boy and I love his cringey poses at the end of winning fights. I just want to get good enough and play him and win. Keep making great tekken content love you bro

[@sbomod]

Thanks for explaining to not skip steps as well as you did. As a new player, you saved me big time.

[@Afrodo98]

im trash at wavedashing but this has helped loads just need to keep trying!

[@WillieDC28]

Thank you MainCoachSWE I really been trying to get it down failing in practice but randomly nailing it in matches. I'm gonna use "quickly-er" in everyday speech

[@Darshilsingh69]

thx alot TMM i can wavedash now u made me understand the basic concept for crouch cancelling into forward

[@johnleonard7975]

if my muscles haven't memorized how to do a fkn haduken yet, they're all fired

[@MichailKrabs]

LOL

[@SolidSonicTH]

The problem I have with wavedashing is it’s very dangerous to do unless you can lightdash. If you just get large crouch dashes it’s super-obvious. Lightdashing conceals your attack windows with a lot of motion so you can run straight up to someone and they won’t easily be able to pick out a moment of vulnerability because you reset your attack window so frequently. To me that’s the really scary part of a wavedash done right. It causes your opponent a lot of stress because the risk vs. reward of trying to break it up is unfavorable and could be the exact moment you attack and they take CH damage (and that’s why the Mishima 50/50 is, at least, above average if not fantastic; paralyze your opponent with uncertainty and cloud their ability to respond to the myriad of options you have to open them up). The opponent can SSL but the wavedash realigns so it’s not a perfect solution.

[@mightiestking]

I keep spinning the top of my ball off when I’m dash cancelling, lol

[@KevinDFuller94]

This video make me understand how to wavedash. Perfect tutorial video Mainman. Perfectly and completely explained.

[@gnxdj]

thank you! Not just for the wave dash but this tips of deconstructing a hard task on more simples ones. (kinda basic but i didn't know it was that helpful) it's so powerful now i know exactly how the wavedash works and what i do wrong (i also wondered how could you do ff4 so fast after a wavedash on kazuya ) and i think this is exactly why you have such a strong execution it's because you practise in a much more efficient way than the others. So yeah thank you !

[@dylank6191]

Breaking things down is the most basic way of learning things but unfortunately most people don't understand/want to. It's how you get good grades in school and university, it's how you learn any instrument, learning anything in general really.

[@gnxdj]

yeah this is so awsome like i was having trouble with the steve wall combo (with the gatling gun in the end ) and i broke it down in 3 step and in less than 30minutes i was able to do it almost every time ! (will try to apply that with piano and other stuffs )

[@tallanortekken6962]

It made perfectly sence :) Thanks alot for this great Guide!

[@crypttoid]

Godlike guide! Can you do something similar with kr backdash? The way the break things down makes it so much more accessible!

[@WearYourGrasses]

It looks like your character is doing the peek-a-boo motion from boxing. That's why it looks good.

[@PierreVillariba]

Thanks for this tutorial, I was planning on playing a mishima for tekken 8 now I have blister on my thumb from the exercise technique but I am somewhat confident on doing a wave dash on both sides thanks to this 3 step program

[@Bobban]

well wavedash is a little bit like a boxing technique, but you usually only do it once to get in on your opponent

[@makeomengreatagain]

That is just making a quick step, usually with poke or fake baiting poke. Something simillar to wave dash would be waving left or right in a bit unpredictable way like Mike tyson for example

[@dylank6191]

I always wanted something like this when I learned the electric. At least I have a methodical approach for the wavedash now.

[@blacklotion]

watched for 5 mins and figured it out Thanks for simple explanation

[@frankiebloodshed2ndchannel]

When I get enough money to become one of your students you know damn well I’m gonna become one of your students, you’re my inspiration to play this game

[@VenomSnake615.]

The Main Man indeed decided to step my Tekken Prowess up watching you

[@zermoonshahzar3767]

I love you MainMan! I can crouch dash perfect but didn't know the secret to waivu waivu waivu! Thanks!

[@taggie2457]

Amazing tips, thank you!

[@Shedrick_Goldsmith]

Wavedash Practice *Each step no mistakes step 1: 10 crouch dash step 2: 10 coruch dash forward step 3: 10 crouch dash crouch dash step 4: 10 crouch dash crouch dash forward step 5: 10 crouch dash (2x) forward 2 (devil fist/demon paw) step 6: 10 crouch dash (3x) forward 2 step 7: 10 crouch dash (4x) forward 2 Homework before and after I get off the game everyday as much as I can. Thank you senpai 🙏🏽😤

[@scopestv3975]

Mike Tyson wave dashed in his prime(literally not even kidding)

[@garryjones1776]

yeah sure buddy

[@justinr.116]

Thank you so much for this 🤘 Grand Sensei

[@quickshorts-4u]

Everytime someone wave dashing at me i instantly think im about either get a kick to the face or sweeped to the floor

[@acmscougar]

Is that animation for resubs posted anywhere? It's freaking hilarious.

[@evangel1460]

No, sadly. I've been trying to get him to upload them for years and it's never happened. It's a pain in the ass because he stopped using them for streams because it was SO funny.

[@nafishaque200]

Kazuya crouch cancel twin piston guide plz

[@TH3SLEEPING]

Yeah would be nice, the input is crouch dash then back + the input

[@JAHUZY]

At the peek of the wave dash you must hit back

[@aeonbernardine3222]

just remember not to cancel wave dash with a forward before hitting back, it will do a back 1,2 move not a twin piston. this might help you when doing multiple wave dash.

[@snowflakekazuya5314]

think of it like a ewgf, do b and 1 at the same time during a wavedash, f,n d,df b 1+2

[@asmith8722]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3XclKaQjtxobNE

[@mustafainjilani]

Okay this is the best explaination I have seen on wavu wavu. Thanks TMM.

[@emogaysasuuke]

did a crouchdash on accident my first time. I went to practice mode, to check the move list and found the wgf. Did a wavedash by accident one time, and had to figure out how to do it myself, because i didnt know what it was, or that it was important. My wavedash is perfect now.

[@diegoalonsoacostamerel9497]

You are actually the main man. Outstanding work as always. 10/10.

[@MohdAslam-qz6wj]

Please tell me how can me wave dash

[@1AdA-Greats]

Mohd Aslam forward then slide your finger from down to forward

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

TMM, can you do a tutorial on how to clean up wavedash inputs on keyboard/Mixbox? Mine are too slow, and I feel like I can make then much faster.

[@giusepperesponte8077]

I suck at wavedash from the right side. Yes you read that right. Anyone else find it way easier from the left as well?

[@k20ahole]

Df2 or similar launch beats wave dash probably all the way up to tournament. Wavedash in American online is just asking to eat damage. It is good after a knockdown though, but even then you only need a few. I’ve gotten really good at two wavedashes and two “Korean “backdashes at a time and I can get by on that. I get out of rhythm if I do more, but it’s all good that’s all I need.

[@bigsteve1894]

People online get carried away so spring kicks or like u said df2 launchers or even Hopkicks beat them. Yeah I also use two or even one wavedashes after knockdown because that is all you need. Heck even having them slow is sometimes better instead of having them fast lol.

[@RasDaKaiGaming]

I’ve been playing tekken since T1 and still have trouble with a high level wave dash lol. I can do a slow one but the fast one is kinda tough for me.

[@shutupisaac4977]

1:16 I always laugh at this part because it’s actually hella easy to say 🤣 Still a great guide though MainMan 🔥🎯

[@jacobblack122]

No one could have taught it better 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Dragoncannon4]

Actually...in real life there have been boxers that made wave dash look quite real..aka peak a poo style.. used by floyd patterson, Joe Frazier and Mike Tyson lol

[@Dragoncannon4]

Im just being funny...good video

[@sabahbubbler]

To answer your question in the beginning its because in game, the spacing and timing is faster than in real life. In real life, we couldn't cover that much space Also there is somewhat a real life wave dash in real life. That it a Dempsey roll by boxers like Mike Tysom. Altho not 100% similar but the bobbing motion looks cool. And like wavedash, Dempsey roll makes you unpredictable for a jab, straight etc. Except in tekken it's high mid or low

[@thaisennj9781]

Surprised this just came up I just watched your old video on it.

[@davidpartida2513]

very helpful thank you

[@meiketyson7599]

can you please do a backdash guide have some problems with it on the left side is less difficult than on the right

[@derrickwilliams1210]

Make sure you learn on both player 1 and 2 sides as well

[@xskyx9643]

This is y I watch his content . He makes learning alot more fun.

[@aeonbernardine3222]

If teachers are like mainman. school is a lot more fun!

[@pokefriend123]

He wavedashes into my heart

[@jonathanmerrelaar8535]

The wavedash looks cool to us because we know how hard it is to do (fast) genius ;)

[@guvnoir23]

Wave dash isn’t so unrealistic. Look at Tyson feints in his prime. Not dissimilar.

[@umarayoub8413]

great work...!! Can you please make another video on devil jin about how to perform all possible option during wave dash like you explain how we can do ff2 during wave dash. similarly, we can do ws2 during wave dash. please explain all moves input and how can we do during wave dash. It will very help full for me and others how just started devil jin. Thanks in advance

[@umarayoub8413]

Sorry for that question i find your this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5mXmqljj9pliZY and it help me alot i was doing same mistake inputing back key after crouch dash thanks man your content help alot you are my misihma teacher love from Pakistan

[@nomikhan437]

Bro. Because of your helpful guides on kazyuya. I have decided to take him as my main . In your PEWGF guide you said to do f,df,2 for pewgf but I get 14 frames electric when I do so need help

im just curious who uses analog and who uses d pad? i feel analog is better but sometimes it does accidentally jumps?

[@dylank6191]

If you're playing Devil Jin, understanding the 50:50 and (ab)using b4 will easily get you to yellow. Congrats though and have fun!

[@KoeingseggCCM]

Thanks. I play Jin, but, and this is a big ol but, I've seriously considered adding the Mishima's to my must-learn list (Keep in mind, this is the first Tekken I've ever taken seriously!).

[@JinKazshima]

I have 2 questions : - 5:32 is it ok if I do f*d,d/f instead of f*hadouken - Could you also make a "How To Master The Korean Backdash"

[@rashadvsyou]

I can’t believe it was this simple holy shit. Was practicing earlier today I’m pretty good at the QC because I’m always spamming Bryan Hatchet Kicks on the homies LOL

[@Sammysapphira]

I've never had luck doing a full qcf. I have a much easier time just hitting the corner in my square gate and releasing to tap forward with my thumb again and repeat.

[@ev5837]

Same

[@SamolonXDYT]

well. is it normal that the froward input while releasing from d/f doesnt come out? like i need to input that extra, but i dont see you doing it. my button history shows f,n,d,d/f and thats it.

[@icongoo6137]

Thank tou for this

[@bulbasaur5995]

0:18 when I'm with my girlfriend and I whip out my controller and start wavedashing:

[@GurGurka]

Ay just in time as I got a fightstick yesterday. Perfect, my guy.

[@kipzonderkop1994]

Dapho it’s not about the controller, I thought if I got a fight stick I’ll be able to do it more easily, but eventually realise it was like starting from the beginning again, then spent more time on the controller and now it’s just how I move around, becomes second nature

[@JAHUZY]

Good luck, shit was difficult at first

[@joejo6969]

I have a stick for about a month now and Im a lot better at this game since I changed from pad

[@Budisgud69]

Hard to be consistent with movement on stick under pressure against someone online.

[@GurGurka]

@kipzonderkop1994 I never said it was about the controller, I switched to stick because I wanted to know what it felt like, and in my opinion it just feels more fun. I never practiced wavedashing to the fullest extent while I was on the pad, but I feel as if it's easier to do on the stick for me either way. It is hard right now, but with more practice I will get better, and hopefully with that, have more fun.

[@nuubio]

Could you do one on Paul's roll dash/sway?

[@thejoekage9499]

Hey MAIN MAIN SWE :D I have the DBFZ Edition of the panthera, has sanwa stick and buttons, are they too sensitive for the execution required for this game? I let go of DF, and sometimes it inputs F again afterwards, i know it could also just be me, but searching for more answers :)

[@gankingnoob449]

you should do a backdash guide mainman

[@akebo92]

Joe Frazier actually bobbed similar to this if you ever look up his fights.

[@jhin535]

I’m laughing so fucking hard at that intro and the Japanese voice thing 😂😂😂

[@h2_]

Which characters do and do not have a wavedash? What about a character determines whether they are capable/incapable of the technique?

[@EternalSilverDragon]

Only characters who have crouchdash can do it.

@@soka427 maybe I should start playing p2 🤔

[@XxxSPIKEx]

Would you recommend trying this with an Xbox controller? Or is it just best to buy a decent fightstick controller. (Trying these precise inputs with just my thumb sounds like a nightmare).

[@depht_]

Xbox controller is a nightmare for Tekken. If you're playing on PC then you're better off with a Dualshock 4 or even 3.. but if you're going to buy one of those just save a little and get a decent stick.

[@gqprince2]

were u using Kazuya

[@Keom_]

While it may be true that mike tyson doing this in real life would look very weird it is mostly based on the upper and the lower extremities of the person for example if a person is good with balancing it's whole body and has fast reaction time then a person might be able to do at least a mini wavedash but ofc this kind of tactic would only be good for experience fighters and should not be used in pro fights for this can be mostly used as a exercise of balance and endurance.
