It's time to fix myself.

[@_ldb22]

Best Tekken content creator out right now - I’ve been playing casually and following the pro scene since TTT2 and I’ve never seen a creator tackle this sort of content with this much depth and transparency. Keep doing what you do man; hats off to you and others willing to create content like this!

[@1wakuralain]

"We have 180 health. We are allowed to make 179 damage worth of wrong decisions." is such a good line. Iconic thought pattern present across all forms of competition.

You should FIX YOURSELF NOW!

[@AngeloGene]

JDCR told his chat once... DO NOT play "high level Tekken" by yourself. He was literally teaching his chat to cheese opponents with throws and random strings. He told us to punish players for their lack of fundamentals like... throw breaking, blocking on wake up, Use and abuse strings that they can't deal with. Punish them for not labbing every single move your character has when you throw your movelist at them. I applied his advice and boosted me from the red ranks to high Blue, and I'm still climbing. Hopefully, I reach Tekken King today.

[@sliippy2152]

This is an awesome video. A lot of time you get to see how higher level players teach others but not seeing them unpack their learning style

[@aqueelkadri8371]

8:11 I hate Speed for saying this cuz of how true it is Some of us are just afraid of commitment okay...and Steve's offense is low commitment and feels like a warm safety blanket

[@adonutplaysgames]

Really enjoyed this video. Made me look at my own style and gave me the motivation I needed to start working on things, so I'll get started on this very soon! Thank you to both of you for the content! Was really cool.

[@LordBaktor]

From "Aaw, they're just gonna talk the whole video with no gameplay..." to "Shit, this is one of Phi's most engaging videos".

[@ping_ms]

Actually i would love to see you pick a character, even lily, and just, go through, your whole process of learning the character. Finding what moves to use, how to learn the mixups, how the character works and how ti should be played, what combos it has what oki etc etc. As a new player, even if i see a guide on what i have to do it doesn't necessarily translate on how to actually use those tools in game. So it would be cool if there was a series of videos like that, to help me learn how to learn.

[@RahulGupta-oo3sp]

Seeing your performance in Tekken 8 tournaments really tells us that you need to learn a lot.

[@jshowao]

You needing to fix yourself is me needing to reset myself

[@FlareBorn]

Yeah this is a really helpful video. I was facing a similar situation with lili and switched to Paul. Now back on lili I felt I was way more free offensively. After this video I now have new ways to attack training thank you

[@tinyparcel6305]

Honestly there was a guy when the game dropped who did a thing of playing a character for a crazy amount of hours and seeing how far he gets in ranked. It's a good idea and I'd definitely like to see you try that Phi.

[@SANDbCREATIVE]

I think it's time to start that playlist of 1st to 10's against speed kicks 👀👀👀 get one for content every 2 weeks I think the community would appreciate that.. right guys? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

[@Playerways]

Bro these tutorials have so much Healthy problem solving fundamentals. Cathartic stuff lol

[@Babyzaku]

After securing raijin I’m locking in now my eyes become that much more opened as a person always looking to improve we appreciate your sharing analytical approach to game as I’m sure we all have one at a certain point. Goated

[@Quince477]

As someone in college, I find it very difficult to find adequate time to play the game. Usually, I'll have around 15-30 minutes to play, but at that point, I don't even see the point in playing. I'mma try to take speeds advice and "work with what you have". I know that that wasn't the context speed was saying that for, but I haven't played for weeks and want to at least do something, even if that's simply labbing against a character's strings. I have 10+ minutes to at least get that going. And if I could get one or two ranked sets in I could watch those later when I don't feel like playing the game. I could also watch some replays of the pros as well. Anyways, great video as always, Phi, and invaluable insight from Speed as always, too.

[@shneflips]

As someone that's just watching this for content, I think the speedrun idea is sooooo good

[@zeywop]

wow i have totally been watching my replays wrong. i dont even play tekken like that, but these ideas of how to train work in any game.

[@pattycakes739]

[@raz_kaiju]

How do you use the notes on your screen when your recording

[@energyflash_tk]

Speedkicks is the only player I would consider booking a coaching session with. He understands the game on a fundamental level that few others do. You can tell by how he plays that his neutral is stronger than 99% of the players and that his decision making is always informed. I don't get the same sense of almost total mastery from anyone else aside from a few pro players.

[@thmistrapillay1811]

I LOVE risky play. Makes me feel unique.... doesn't _totally_ mesh with my pickup of Steve but hey🤷‍♂️

[@D_McGeezacks]

Right? Who wants to play like everyone else does, boring.

[@IamBecomeZen]

This might sound lame, but I wish you were as popular during Tekken 7. Sadly I just don't enjoy Tekken 8 nearly enough to want to improve, despite the fact I was close to Tekken King on this game (my peak rank in T7 was Mighty Ruler). I guess I just lost the "flame" I had in T7. But I'm so glad you're making these kinds of videos talking in-depth on what it takes to improve.

[@se7en6277]

Bro i don't know you at all but I was feeling the same thing until I found a Tekken community at my country, we all chat about the game and have sessions whenever we feel like it and it completely makes the game fun again because we play to get better not just to earn some points and a rank. Then when you apply what you learned to the scrubs on ranked it gives you satisfaction like no other 🤜🏼⚡

[@Superfoodcookie]

I felt the opposite I actually didn't like tekken 7 playstyle. It was very "back dash, poke, back dash, poke poke, back dash back dash poke, back dash." it felt punishing to engage, which sounds stupid in a fighting game. Ranked felt sweaty as hell and very unforgiving. I've honestly had more fun with tekken 8 and prefer the buffed side stepping but nerfed back dash. So everyone is forced to be in eachothers faces. Just feels more exciting for a fighting game rather "okay i can't attack first let me just throw out some cheap mids and lows and chip their health down" which is what tekken 7 felt like even watching the tournaments you could tell they're just poking eachothers to death because no one wanted to commit to anything it's just not worth it. Better off poking to win.

[@IamBecomeZen]

@@se7en6277 I feel you. That was T7 for me though. I found an active community in my country and the city I live in. The community is still active but I just don't have the same love for the game like I did with T7.

[@IamBecomeZen]

@@Superfoodcookie While you have some fair points, T7 still had strategy and let's face it none of us played the way the pros play. But now everyone plays the same. Launcher combo, 50/50 and you're dead or close to dead.

why you struggle with picking who to play, just pick who you like it's that simple ain't it, practice what you preach. That's why I hate all those fake "teaching" streamers\youtubers, it's either they give an non-answer answers cuz they don't want to bother to go in detail or they are just hypocrites. So which one are you ?

[@christianharmeyer6078]

Why so antagonistic? Dude hasn't figured out who he likes in this game yet, it ain't that deep lmao

[@meinishikawa3730]

Dudes main (Noctis) is back in Tekken 7 and getting "very good" at fighting games requires a lot of time investment into a single character so it helps if you like them a lot. If you keep swapping your main all the time, you'll have a harder time improving unless your name is Knee or Arslan who can play the entire cast at a high level.

[@samtonnude941]

The goat noctis aint there, he still needs to find a main

[@potatopotato7882]

@@christianharmeyer6078 I just have pet peeve when people lying, act fake or just hypocrites in general. My personal experience with him and interaction on his stream, he tells everyone to "pick who you like" and when I said it's more nuanced than this he got irritated and clowned on me, remind you that was when tekken just released. Now 8 months later this guy who was giving advices on how people should pick their character, he himself can't decide and asks for advice. Why doesn't he just follow his own advice? "Pick who you like. Oh, you don't like anyone ? Then why are you playing this game?" So if you aren't gonna practice what you preach don't tell other people to do that
