Lol what

[@MrDelmot1]

Part of getting out of blue ranks imho is hit confirming your "on hit" scenarios. Really hard to do with a single 1 jab but easier to do with bigger moves. Easy rule to follow is when you hit them, hit them again unless it's a negative on hit low.

[@enockcatalan249]

@@loto7197 Idk if ur trolling, but no hate. If you didn't understand what I said, I'm wondering how you understood the video. I guess using - + symbols is confusing? Anyway, I meant "Minus on block", "plus on block", and "plus on hit".

I feel so stupid for never having considered how the better frame advantage of a CH jab leads to me being able to play higher reward frame traps. I think I would sometimes do it intuitively but never played these interactions deliberately or understood why they worked. Super well structured and presented video, thanks Phi.

[@Thinker117-j2r]

Remember fellas, Its not a gameplan to follow, you add this onto your gameplan, most intermediate players will block after on hit, but if you overload their mental, e.g mixups, lows mids, not finishing stance etc. they will get frustated and mash into you.

[@Red_PlaysYT]

This is helpful, thanks!

This is probably the one piece of game plan that will probably help red rank players the most other than learning punishers ngl, once this concept had clicked for me i levelled up imediately

"they will get frustrated and mash into you" this is so real ngl.

[@TheGianGame]

If they do anything after you get a +4 move you can just jet upper, people sleeps over that (I was one of those). The only way out is a down jab on b1, but if they do that you can orbital heel the next time. But the real love for Brian comes from the mental frame and how stacked is mindgame really is, the character has one of the most simple move list but one of the most complex and advanced gameplan!

I understand why that player may have felt that way. Especially if they're coming from street fighter.

[@IWantToStayAtYourHouse]

I just look at their defense stats. If its like 80 and over i expect them to respect plus frames. Otherwise i expect them to mash and i abuse plus frames

[@authenticinari-fox8164]

reminder is that you need to test your opponents. do your -11 and -12 strings and see if they punish them, people tend to try to punish with 13f+ or their 10f punish especially in blue and below , so u can take more risk and get punished less. you gotta try stuff and see how they respond.

[@elbraguetabierta]

If they respect your frames you apply a slow mixup till they start disrespecting , then you frame trap

[@zeldamage001]

Awesome stuff! This is quite a complicated part of Tekken that is often overlooked. I feel people want to win using launchers and optimal combos, because that's easy to learn (just takes a lot of solo practice) and they don't understand frames and frame traps.

I don't mean to be rude, in fact I'm asking this in the nicest way possible, but HOW DID YOU think about jab then? If you never thought about it like that before. I'm just curious.

[@SlCKNESS_]

@@auddiegoddie1561 Fair enough. Another thing to note about the importance of jabs - I'm sure you've heard about -5 (frame disadvantage) being when you can't sidestep anymore. That "rule" comes from jabs starting to track at -5. You can, in fact, sidestep a lot of (slower) moves at -5. Sidestepping is a lot more complex than that, but that's why that rule is there in the first place.

When you mentioned that focus on big launchers. It reminds me of when I first started towards the end of T7. My first choice for main was Bryan and oh boy, was I bad at it! My primary neutral tool was ws1. Lmao. I don't know how much of it is due to Bryan's design where neutral is kinda weird, but I really couldn't get into poking and neutral play until way later when I picked up Kazumi for this specific purpose. I kinda wish they'd bring her back. She was never my "main", but I'll die on the hill that she is by far the best training character in Tekken just to hone your fundamentals.

[@jerrellgonzalez791]

literally something I was going to ask about on stream, wild how all your vids really have lined up just when I wonder them.

[@ThisIsNotSGHNTZ]

If you do B1 and it's blocked you can do D2 and it will trade with jab, it gives nothing big, but it's +12 and the opponent recovers in crouching, literally nothing he can do, so you are free to do a low, 3+4, anything you want, plus as an extra it gives a guaranteed U1+2 throw attempt at the wall(you can only break it). This also work after F3 and FC DF2, but only on hit. Bryan also has 1+2 on hit into B4, it will trade with a jab, gives nothing big in the open(just makes the FF2/QCB1 follow up easier), but at the wall you can do 3+4,2 wall splat for ridiculusly high damage because it's +19.

Am a Bryan main, yes I still agree b1 pressure frame traps arent that useful. Because ur opponent has not only 1 counter play but multiple counterplays, them jabing, down jabs, df 2 and Bryan's jabs in t8 are linear both sides. All am saying Bryan's b1 frame traps are useless unless used right (Bryan as a concept he is not meant to play aggressively more like a timing bully) b1 is meant to force a reaction on ur opponent like to see what type of retaliation method they would be using and figure best way to stop it. However, after b1 there is a really strong frame trap that in my opinion more reliable than jab also, single D2. This move alone - 2 on block allows movement pressure, has follow up ch launcher pressure that is only - 10, and the really neat part if u traded with jabs ur opponent - 8 in crouch position making 3+4 almost homing mid if they mash they get ch, and if they trade with u with down jab u still get jin frame trap in a sense of ch launching. Which D2 +8 is easier to apply than a jab in my opinion specially when u play online. 👌

[@alondjeckto]

People sleep on Bryans d2

[@ahmadezat7399]

@alondjeckto forgot to mention if they did anything slower than a jab while disrespecting you, you can ch confirm 3 after D2, at wall it wall splats, without wall knocks down for okie 👍 The only down side of this move got no tracking to left side but even if they step left 3 will still ch launch them if they step immediately press. Delaying 3 also makes it track a bit more to that side as well. So it's still a mind game on whiff too but side walk completely beats it as u would be at Bryan's back 👍

The 1 jab on plus frames is a strong part of "Little Tekken," and sometimes you have to be reminded that it's okay to be low committal in your approach sometimes. You get to be at plus frames with more often AND you get time to study your opponent's defensive habits. That's not so different from "the 3 Lights Rule" in SF6, or *any* footsy fighter, now that I think about it.

[@SlCKNESS_]

It's also part of real combat sports like boxing and MMA. Jab is a fundamental move. Also, "little tekken" is basically how you go from mediocre to actually good at the game. That's all Tekken is at higher level. It's not even about "low committal approach sometimes", it's how the game plays/works at higher skill levels.

In tekken when you're minus 6 or plus in anyway. You still have a lot of option. -6 you can parry, power crush, and SS. Basically you can still steal your turn back. Bryan back 1 is deadly asf.... people don't know how dangerous it is to get plus frame and simply back dash. Aldo any plus frame into 1 jab I'd a gurantee trap unless they SS or duck. And that's where the true mind game of tekken comes into play. That's what makes the game fun.

For me f3 on block into 1,2,4 seems to produce better resaults only because its a knoledge check. Standard counterplay for b1 on block since the don of time has been down jab or sidestep and both beats jab. It is however usefull to know that b1->jab will trap those new tekken 8 players that immediatly powercrush as soon as they loose turn. Now about jab hitting for +8 and then frame trapping again is a bit too optimistic. I dont see a reason for the opponent to mash again after just getting hit. I woud just use the +8 for a hatchet/sockerkick/orbital mixup. Also i would atleast let the full 1,2,1 or 1,2,4 string rip cause its guaranteed on CH.

Paul's got no safe 13f mid check to take advantage of the samz situations. Either he has to go high (risking a duck launch), got totally unsafe on a 12f but launch punishable shoulder or powercrush... Or give up the frames, thus conditioning the opponent into pressing and allowing your decent high traps to shine.

[@cybersteel8]

The question from your viewer probably comes from the same noob mentality I've got, where I am in neutral and want to frame trap using + on block moves. The idea that something + on hit also works as a frame trap is foreign and eye-opening to see. I think it's because we assume that the opponent is going to block after they get hit, so + on hit doesn't matter, but the fact that you're slower moves are now effectively faster after being + on hit should not be overlooked. So to my fellow noobs, this is really cool. Yeah, your opponent should probably block when they get hit, but you can trap them to make sure they do. If you are already sure, then you have them blocking and taking your mid/low mixup. Remember, they're not blocking both, so just hitting them with a jab is enough to force that generic Tekken 50/50 mid/low mixup. If they press after getting hit instead of blocking, well now you know how much faster your slower moves are to actually launch them (on counter-hit too!) Thanks PhiDX, this is a great video, very educational.

You can just start mid checking them then, but a single 1 jab is really hard to duck punish anyway, and since he has many extensions from it, if they press their punish too early they can get hit by the jab extensions, so you should be fine doing it, except against some characters with high crushing attacks, like Claudio.

what about character that have weak / short range low. even after +4 the opponent can backdash and the low will whiff unless it's -1 or 0 on hit lows. only way to apply good low is to dash in first which become interruptible with quick mid. Yes now I get the option of CH by them try to mashing but some player are just respond to my forward dash. so all I can do is dash and block their quick mid essentially back to neutral.

Bryans best frame traps are on hit. After 1-2 and down 2 hes plus 8.

[@aggroFyrb]

I have one big problem with this whole concept. The math perfectly makes sense dgmw but my opponent is a human being and that gives them the ability to think abstract and freely in every situation. So in my head even if I see them f.e side stepping at some + frames there is no way to know that this will happen again. My friend always tells me that seeing what they're doing afterwards is very important information but in my head the fact that they are able to switch up their behaviour at will makes me pretty much unable to adapt to their patterns since I don't see them as such.

[@cursedcrow1033]

How about we spam the Tekken Team to make Heat smash +0 on Block and heat engagers +0 on hit to nerf the endless 50/50 Situations?

[@Reapz0]

So what are you meant to do against frame traps? Is it a guessing game from there or are you meant to develop a read on your opponent?

[@crimsonsmoke]

Develop your read and don’t press. So jin db4 into m4 - m4 is a high. If they keep doing this frame trap, you duck and launch the m4. Of course, any Jin will mix you with mids, but that’s why I’m saying you read them or you don’t press.

[@flamescorpio5850]

You need to know how to counter the move with the CH property. In the case of Jin's, you can duck it on a read,or backdash in some cases. More importantly if you block it it's -9 so you can return a big low/mid on Jin

[@notkennethdt]

This is exactly what I need

[@aaym2224]

as a 2d player who started with T8 tekken players just loooove mashing on plus frames and idk why. frame trapping people makes it extremely easy to rank up it's not even funny. from my view as a 2d player tekken is the one game you dont want to be mashing in. you have sooo much counterplay to most offense in the game, sometimes you even have multiple answers to the same situation, and in many cases one answer can beat like 80 percent of your opponent's options depending on the character. mashing is actually really really bad in this game, where in many 2d games mashing can give you a knockdown that can literally set up your win condition and often times mashing is your only option to get out of certain situations.
