I SOLVED Tekken 8 Ranked and It's EASY

[@JohnSmith-yn9ju]

I like this guy and the audio is crisp. I’ve played Tekken 3,5,5DR and 7. Stopped playing T7 because I was getting cooked and didn’t have time to practice. 2 years ago my brother showed me a T7 video on Twitter with people dodging. I picked up T7 and finally had time to practice. I practiced hard for 4 months a year ago and got to Emperor in T7. Now in T8 in I have 5 characters at Tekken King😭😭

[@AndromidaOfficial]

Congrats man! Progressing through red ranks is definitely a feat to overcome. You’ve made awesome progress. I recently just got to blue after about a month and a half of playing and man I kind really wish I documented my progress also. Would’ve loved to see my first match compared to now. Looking forward to more tekken content man

[@EnjinFGC]

That would have been cool to see your progress too, thanks for supporting the channel!

[@cyl3ersp1der11]

I would really want to see him saying Tekken 8 is easy when he reaches Fujin XD

[@KozmxsBH]

As a fellow beginner who also came to tekken from brawlhalla on switch, one of the easiest fighting games also, I understand exactly how you feel

[@ZZAFRETZZ]

Keep this mentality up and you'll reach Tekken king eventually, I guarantee it, You're actually having fun learning the game, and that's the secret ingredient in getting good at Tekken

[@LegendaryZody]

I'm inspired by your climb through the Tekken 8 ranks. Keep up the good work!

[@EnjinFGC]

I’m glad, I’ll keep grinding!

[@lostravensworld8092]

He cracked the code again chat

[@sameerparanjape]

The thing about Tekken is that it has a decently high skill floor. That's why it feels intimidating to new players. But it's been such a pleasure to follow you and learn from you on this journey to Shinryu (which is mad impressive for the first 100 games no matter what anyone says) and I hope we keep seeing some more Tekken content in the future.

[@EnjinFGC]

The learning curve is high but its SO SATISFYING

[@Reno750]

I only just discovered the channel but I'm really proud of you Enjin! I hope you will push forward with the same passion!

[@Sell_Demon]

After you CH with D2 dash up and use your electric then do B3 etc.. also try utilizing the heat smash while hold F4, you get a wall splat if landed and full wall combo or crazy plus frames if they block with their back against the wall

[@TheCrystalBlood]

I think the difficulty in Tekken doesn't come from it being super hard to execute (besides some mishima characters maybe), but it comes from the complexity of what your opponents can do and how to counter it. It is really fun to play, once you allow yourself to try to problem solve and find effective counters to certain moves and strategies.

[@EnjinFGC]

I agree 100% there’s almost infinite options you can do at any time making it extremely complex

[@Evil-Olive]

Do not get so caught up in just the rank. Improving by enhancing your mix-ups, punishing moves you previously didn't or learning more optimal combos are also great indicators of improvement.

[@Crazyjunkman]

13:25 When you get heat smashed like that, if the opponent moves even an inch, it can be countered. I main Azucena and I tend to play on the more aggressive side. Try playing more aggressively. Also PRACTICE. PRACTICE ALOT. Tekken isn't just about ranked.

[@Courtesyyy]

19:02 ngl you made me, pat myself in the back and while i watching your gameplay i could reflect on, i am sadden this is going to be end Tekken Journey, its been excited to see someone process from humble beginnings to such a great play as yourself. Also im not sure if you have answer if you have a discord server for your viewers? psst looking forward to your future videos! ^_^

[@EnjinFGC]

I LOVE TEKKEN way more vids coming soon

[@Gk-sd1ge]

Hello, I'm new to your channel and so far I am really enjoying your educational style of videos! However I noticed that some of your combos are not the most optimal (though they are still really good). For example at 15:01 when you did the double kick launcher, you instantly started off your combo with "back 3 stance 1" when you can actually add more damage by using the 3 kick (no movement inputs) then going about the usual combo route (or back 3 then the usual combo but it's not the most optimal but easier and still decent damage). At the end of the combo you used your heat smash which is fine but you didn't use it to wall splat which could've given you more damage by using "back down 2 2, 3". Other combo finishers to keep in mind are a delayed "Back 3 stance 1" and "whiling rising 1, brazilian kick (down forward 3 3) into demon eyes 1". On down 2 counter hits you can do a manual stance into demon eyes for a guaranteed EWHF (electric) to start off your combo, adds so much more damage. Also on down 2 you sometimes don't do much mix-ups. If the opponent eats a down 2 (non counter hit) you can mix him up with "while rising 2", "crouching down forward 4" and if they spam you after down 2 "while rising 1, 2" is your friend, its so op because you can even add more mix to it by either using stance to go into demon eyes then electric or you can just grab lol, or you can use an armor move by pressing 2 after stance or just go with the after stance 1, 2 string. Heck you can even do the Kazama style 6 hit combo redux after down 2. Also keep in mind after hitting down 2 the "while rising" motion is automatic, so you just need to press the buttons accordingly. Launching hits like double kick (ken ken), up forward 4, wavedash 1. You can start the combo after these hits with an EWHF (which is a little difficult) or start it out with the 3 kick. back 3 also works but it's not optimal damage. However if you launch with black wing rondo aka: (During Zenshin up 1) or ( the 1, 2, 1, string). You can only use back 3 to start the combo and not the 3 kick since it makes you whiff the combo... EWHF after black wing rondo is near impossible. It's fun watching you play since by the looks of it you put so much effort into learning gamesense, your poking game is really good, so is your punishing/counter hits. I'm 2 videos in your channel and I already learnt quite a few things, it's funny because I put so much time into learning mechanics and neglected gamesense, no wonder why I'm still Tenryu lol. Hopefully my explanation above is not confusing lol. Also a quick suggestion, maybe you should make a discord community so people can share their knowledge etc, I personally much rather share a clip of some of the combos I'm trying to explain instead of typing them out :c Anyways, keep up the good work! Can't wait to see you hit purple ranks and go even beyond that! Have a good day.

[@mwarz1899]

I just want a list of music from the video G. Im Battle Ruler Paul main, I mean I live up to the stereotype so seeing a more thoughtful approach to improvement is great. Keep climbing brotha.

[@OofItsHonor]

It’s from DBZ Budokai 1, such a goated game! Pretty good video as well! Btw the music is so good cuz the DBZ composer ripped off a lot of top tier rock songs 😂

[@elloofficer]

Unironically wholesome as fvck video lad. Also as a Leo main you will learn a lot since they're pure fundamentals, making it a lot easier to learn movement, whiff punishing, block punishing, etc. Also just a really fun character to play in general. Looking forward to the next video!

[@EnjinFGC]

Right? Leo just makes sense to me much more simple than jin, but i might switch to lidia when she drops cause karate characters are just too cool.

[@carlosvaldez8096]

I have a buddy that never really played tekken either since he was mainly a mk main, but im glad he was able to pick it up and achieve blue rank . Needless to say im glad this game is beginner friendly so i know you can atleast achieve blue if u keep going.

[@jinz-o4173]

Its been a pleasure to follow your journey. Well played, Gachiakuta-enjoyer!

[@EnjinFGC]

Gachiakuta is PEAK

[@Crazyjunkman]

One more thing I forgot to mention. If you want to get better at Tekken, the secret ingredient is PATIENCE. I've been able to read opponents simply by waiting to see what they do.

[@LuisGarcia-up4jm]

Lucky you guys I literally started tekken with no real fighting game experience

[@BradWest-q5o]

Why did the thumbnail have me excited well I am still watching the video but I believe In You little bro 😂😂😂

[@EnjinFGC]

LOL thank you man i appreciate u

[@KristopherrLove]

This game won't be hard for Enjin until he reaches the rank that forces him to lose often enough he can't progress for days. 100 games to Shinryu is on point with how fast it should go if you are destined to get stuck at Ruler ranks within the next 40 games (No game plan change). Ruler should be the point where sweating is normal with your current play style and strategy building. Here is how I classify rank based on my experiences and the community at large. Yellow Ranks and below: Beginner / Advanced Beginner Orange Ranks: Advanced Beginner / Novice Red Ranks: Novice / Intermediate Ruler Ranks: Intermediate / Advanced Blue Ranks: Expert Purple Ranks: Expert / Pro (Only 19,033 characters, does not exclude players with multiple characters.) Gold Ranks: Pro (Only 4,697 characters, does not exclude players with multiple characters.) God Of Destruction: Dedicated Pro (Only 1,632 characters, does not exclude players with multiple characters.)

[@Natural_Order]

I agree for the most part. I think it's funny when people say Blue ranks are intermediate when it makes up less than 8% of all players

[@KristopherrLove]

@@Natural_Order if blue ranks even have 7% of players, that’s really interesting but that also means blue ranks is the dividing line for normal skill and competitive grade players. 🥸Interesting observation

[@EnjinFGC]

I’ve ranked up to Tenryu now and yours definitely right Ive had to change my strategy a LOT since this video preparing to enter purple rank.

[@bautista671]

Jin has one of the best 10f punish IMO as it can bring you stance that causes 50/50 situations. And red rank players do so many unsafe moves it’s crazy.

[@floridaman7206]

Congrats on making it to shinryu! I hope we’ll see more gameplay from you. I made it to Battle Ruler recently with my main and I’m getting there with my other characters too. I noticed that purple ranks aren’t that much different except people can be even more aggressive and can actually break throws occasionally. At purple, there is an even greater emphasis on shutting down people’s bs. Since the changes they’ve made to matchmaking, my alternate characters have me going up against guys whose highest ranks are like bushin or tekken king. Still getting wins tho🥲

[@EnjinFGC]

Congrats on purple! The new matchmaking update is so lame

[@Krausera32]

Me as a Jin player really wants to play some match with you, I'm Battle ruller by now, nothing special but I can teach you some strings and combos that I know if you want 💪🏻

[@fadadfasdfd]

100 matches to get to Shinryu is quite impressive. Took me over 150+ to get to Shinryu and I've also played ranked in T7 before (didn't took it seriously as T8 ranked though)

[@EnjinFGC]

YAY I DID GOOD

[@Eskolol]

You have a lot of things going right for you. Combos is one thing that if you were a bit more crisp you could turn a lot of your losses into wins. Especially at the wall. Another thing is heat. Jin has one of the better Heat Smashes in the game, don't be shy on just throwing that shit out on random timings every round and force that 50/50. And as for the mental stack of looking at the movelists of characters. Bear in mind that most characters only utilize about 10% of those moves. So even if every characters has a hundred moves you only really have to know maybe 5 of them with each character :D Tekken 8 is pretty much 2D until blue ranks. I felt like, no one sidestepped in red ranks or purple. Which meant that you could get away with a lot of things that a better player would try to sidestep. If you're the one who knows when and how to sidestep you will have an advantage against the players who don't. All in all Tekken 8 is super addicting if you're just playing to get better and dont worry about arbitrary rank points. I personally think it's better than 7 and I played that shit a lot too. Extra nostalgia points for using dbz budokai soundtrack :D

[@amiko34]

What a journey bro. Thx!!

[@EnjinFGC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrJohneblaze822]

Playing Tekken 8 always makes me want to rage quit after playing for a few hours 😂😂😂

[@Bird1sTheWord]

Solved?! 😂😂 You're completely stuck in Red rank (which is like half way 🥲). I did exactly the same (except with no prior fighting game exp, or spending hours in the lab or on replays). Once you hit Red it is HARD. You feel like you've learned everything there is, and to move forward requires a lot of hard work and time. Don't underrate it.

[@Silas_Ames]

Really liked your routine video and have been doing it for some days now, I also play Jin but am really lost on especially his stances and breaking step stuff and have yet to found a dumbed down enough video that goes over them, so could you consider doing a beginner video specifically breaking down Jin and how you play him?

[@EnjinFGC]

I’m not an expert on jin but I could do my best to make a breakdown

[@Qbone_]

You did incredibly well red ranks is a very good accomplishment especially since you didn't binge playing ranked. You learned a lot. Be proud your strong.

[@rpastora1984]

Red ranks are crap 💩

[@EnjinFGC]

Thank you (bro hit me with the sukuna line 😭)

[@yaroprod2247]

Congrats on getting shinryu! You still have a lot of stuff to learn, i have fujin on Jin and i think it would be cool to teach you on discord some tips & tricks, there's definetly some good things that you missed, but let me know in the comments! Good luck on your tekken journey!

[@EnjinFGC]

I’ll take all the help I can get, my discord is “pixeldrink”

[@mosvaldo6789]

please keep playing tekken!

[@EnjinFGC]

I LOVE TEKKEN

[@Floridamangaming729]

Also quick tip change your search settings to 2 ranks below or above so you don’t get like Tekken god vs garyu. Im sure you already did that though.

[@EnjinFGC]

Haven’t done that yet, i kinda enjoy playing high ranked players. Its annoying still getting matched with orange ranks tho

[@Bonzi77]

LEO BRO LEO BRO

[@VillainessAO]

18:06 lolll 😂

[@Jay-p4c2f]

I beat people in red ranks blue ranks but I always lose to ppl my rank or in the same rank bracket the button mashers but playing pokes counters (actual tekken I’m good at)

[@VillainessAO]

18:36 bro your combos are not optimal at all though 😅

[@dalletetaveras1280]

what a voice crack🤣🤣 3:38

[@lordcantiFK7]

I feel like my biggest weakness is that I get super nervous and anxious while playing and I end up resorting to the same tactics and become super readable. How do you go in with a calm mind, if you do at all?

[@EnjinFGC]

I get nervous too but I try my best to just focus on my gameplan and stay in the moment kinda like flow state. I end up sticking to the same moves a lot anyway cause Im still new but I think that confidence comes with experience

[@prancerjohnponce6889]

congrats bro. but it's twice harder if you leave in ASIA.

[@VillainessAO]

When you get to lord ranks, the game is real hard bro 😂 you can never call Tekken an easy game

[@neocalder1228]

RIP Jin

[@lingoedits]

let me coach you some jin. im not the best but i know A LOT of stuff about jin that will get you to at least fujin. I've also coached many jins which are now from mighty ruler to raijin

ill send you my discord if youre down, just lmk

[@KINGJAYPARISH]

Imma say tekken not as hard but you really have to put the time to get good at the game ….

Says tekken Is easy not knowing this is the easiest tekken game, rank up in Tag 2 or before 💀

And playing Jin who is an easy mode character with no weaknesses and every tool there is.

[@mrjshzk]

no reason to be rude like this. clearly shows you're insecure

[@mrjshzk]

@@jchoi9340 agreed. anyone that doesn't play blind-folding and only using one finger is not a real player like me!

[@jchoi9340]

@@mrjshzk It’s not being rude, it’s painting a full picture by providing valid context. Enjin knowingly made a provocative statement by saying Tekken is easy and did so for views. It is what it is, but I’m calling a spade a spade. I’m not downplaying his achievement. In fact, I respect his process and the way he approached the game to get to this point. However, saying Tekken is easy when you use an easy character is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Don’t get butt-hurt by facts and confuse it as being “rude.”

[@EnjinFGC]

I’m fully aware T8 is the most beginner friendly

[@burntpotato7116]

Not to take away from you but red ranks are piss easy at this point most intermediate players are in high purple-Low blue

[@shaghilathar3588]

You'd need the stats to back that up. A month ago most players were garyu and the red ranks were the populated tier

[@KristopherrLove]

I'm calling CAP on most intermediate players being in purple and blue. My friend took from launch to 2 days ago to finally reach Shinryu. I would call him an intermediate. My friend forced me to play ranked, I only played ranked for 5 hours and got to Shinryu. I don't know what to call myself but I know I've been playing tekken since Tekken 1. My friends that I play outside of ranked are rank anxious and thus playing someone high rank demotivates them so I tend to not play ranked in tekken 8. I do agree that this game won't be hard for Enjin until he reaches the rank that forces him to lose often enough he can't progress for days. Here is how I classify rank based on my experiences and the community at large.
