phidx is the best teacher!!!!

You appear to be a great student Lily!

[@Koenigg99]

I find it hilarious (in a good way) how she's like "how do you remember these long combos???" when she's able to play her piano pieces from memory.

[@sakurablade333]

Piano players clearly have an advantage in Tekken due to the similar long string memory skills that they possess.

[@anima2418]

@@sakurablade333 As a pianist that also plays Tekken I can back this statement up. Memory skills on god tier LMAO

Setting the right expectations on the first match before it started was actually awesome to hear. “Lily. Everything I taught you, you will not remember. The last hour of this has meant nothing. And that’s ok! Go get beat up in ranked.” “ok”

[@nota_2526]

It’s crazy how PDX is single handily making tekken an easier game to learn than other fighter games by the sheer quality of his guides, keep up the good work man!

I have really appreciated your coaching content. Watching yours and the other teams grow and improve is really motivating. Love the FGC. Keep up the amazing work Phi!

[@shahs1221]

Someone's probably explained it somewhere, but Lily plays a lot of rhythm games as well! Speaking as someone who plays drums, that does help. Having any sort of beats in my head really helps ground things better for me.

[@ethos762]

Phi that preview is absolutely insane, you’re a great teacher bro

[@Aftokraftor]

When this cut to the end I was like NOOOOOO its over already? I didn't expect to get as invested in this as I was I'm 100% new to tekken I've been playing about 3-4 days now and this game is so sick I'm bad but its fun and I'm enjoying learning. My friend who is teaching me the game is a Flame Ruler rank and also watches your stuff and led me here they teach very similarly to how you do and it made learning feel a bit better thank you for what you do I don't think I will play online for at least another week or 2 but I'm really looking forward to getting to the point I can call myself decent at tekken

[@tristanbryan3067]

Hey I'm not as new as you to Tekken solely because I played maybe 2 hours of Tekken 7 lmao to get myself ready I just played the story mode and arcade story then started playing games. I've played like 16hrs total of Tekken 8 and I'm sitting at Warrior rank rn so I hope to eventually see you in my online matches! Heck maybe on a tournament stage someday lmao! Good luck in your Tekken journey!

[@PsychoBackflip]

That's awesome! Perhaps you should get into online play faster than you might feel ready for, because your win / loss ratio doesn't matter. Experience does and when you play online you get actual scenarios to learn from in real time. I guess it just comes down to how you deal with certain situations. Some like to learn in the flames, some like to heat up the oven to get used to the fire.

[@lainzero4549]

Just wanna say that wall info you gave to Lily, about wall combo and spacing helped me out a lot

[@TOKYO_SLIME]

Seeing her hit that combo at the end of the video was so awesome. It’s crazy seeing how she’s picking it up!

[@ruin256]

Phid, buddy, you’re a phenomenal beginner coach man. The way you celebrated her victories with her was absolutely inspiring big dog. Nice work.

[@josephsua7246]

Your videos have been a blessing for my friends, I’m not good at explaining things, so recommending your videos have taught them a lot in such a short time. Thanks PhiDX!!

[@senspideyfan]

Tekken always had the reputation of being the hardest fighting game to learn, so I always felt intimidated to try. However, nobody ever said anything about Tekken having the best beginner friendly tutorials when compared to other fighting games. While Tekken is hard, I feel like the barrier to entry is the lowest of all fighting games thanks to channels like yours. Thanks so much for what you do, I never expected Tekken of all things to be the first fighting game that "clicks" with me.

[@7thesage853]

This is becoming my favorite content. Coaching for beginners in the FGC

[@Euas_]

Great Video! Hopefully this type of content continues, specially the Reina ones, since that's the character I play xD, and because these videos have been such a great help not just for me, but my friends as well :D

[@jasno_]

I've been taking the game more serious now and watching a lot of streams but mostly Lily, Mainman, and now Phi. It really helped me a lot even if I don't play Lili. The game has never been this much fun!

[@OneRadiantEye]

Very enjoyable to watch and very educational. Can't wait to see part 2.

[@OblivionOtaku]

I thought it was insane when you said she was putting in korean arcade player hours in the game and her progress is fantastic. You are doing a great job coaching her.

[@Springricev2]

Saw the entire session in ur VoD and men u're amazing, never enjoyed so much learning a character properly with lili :D.. I'm new into tekken and I had the brilliant idea to start with kazuya with no ideas on ranked xd, got my way to assailant but so frustated with all the tekken mechanics, this give me a time to relax and start enjoying the game ty :3 ( I had to say thanks to kazuya so I didnt get so much troubles with new combos and the fricking wave dash xd)

[@corpaxhunter]

Wow the last part was so awesome! I can't believe how Lily improved in a day. She's really really really really really really really good!!!

[@KageMaru10g]

Great video as always PhiDX!

[@HFS0744]

WE MAKING IT BIG WITH THIS ONE

[@shkontoru]

A tip for new players: When launched opponent during match and your mind went blank tryna think combo just throw a 1 jab to float opponent first, with this you get slightly extra time to remember/adjust your move but at the cost of incomplete combo before tornado. Or if you REALLY can't think while something happened so soon just jab jab jab 3 times into fastest tornado move and finish up with ender. It's always better to deal damage towards enemy instead of dropping everything.

[@XSprouted]

Its fun to watch Lily play. With the things she says and does, it's like she's always been a fighting game player but it was just hidden. The King salt especially.

[@LofiWandererMusic]

This is so good. I have played tekken for a few years but have switched to leverless from pad recently and it feels like I am playing a completely different game

[@aqueelkadri8371]

Yo early gang LilyPichu is actually live streaming on youtube right now and holy shit was I shocked at how intuitively she is playing the game right now. She looks like a totally different player

[@marcotavella6145]

bro ur vids lately have been the shit! i find myself regularly TYPING ur name in my search bar just to hear u talk about some tekken shit i might still not know also the training videos have been sooooo good as a beginner myself i learn the most from these videos thank u very much ur content is so good🫶🏻 truly the tekken god ♥️

I was a legacy tekken player I played 1-4 religiously when each came out, and stopped playing. I got tekken 8 when it came out and found your channel. Love your vids brother! The🐐!!

[@alexandersze49]

The honeymoon phase of learning fighting games is the best, I remember the first time I landed an extended wall carry combo into bound with a stomp ender. That shit hit hard.

[@bread8294]

Yeess, i was waiting for this

[@leeshxz]

Omg the last combo !!! Wtf ! She's like completely different person ! ❤

[@mrlion8834]

These collabs are well deserved.

[@syll0g1sm]

Doing combos vs the AI is definitely nice! Confirming the hit and doing the first move is a big part of it. Angles and distances are also different in game. Instead of arcade mode, you can also just set the dummy in practice mode to "CPU". You can set easy CPU at first, and then set it up a bit higher.

[@EnderouSama]

I think it's interesting that not a lot of people know how in tekken you input the string even if the attacks aren't connecting unlike in say guilty gear xrd where you can just react to your punch hitting and cancel your attacks on hit due to the gatling system. I think this deff is what catches lots of people off guard and especially makes people so surprised when they miss a combo. Thus far i've recognized that this happens because of that system of having to wait for an attack animation to finish. This is really the only way i actually managed to start landing combos and strings in tekken as a whole and the same even goes for soul calibur (even tho that game kinda died fr)

[@kennykurniawan]

love the analysis of teaching people Tekken! made me want to get back to it

[@Progidey]

Hey Phi! Love to watch your patience in teaching a new player the game! Quick question, what pad are you using in this vid???

[@Sinplosion]

It's so cool to see someone progress in the game. I hope she sticks with tekken even after the tourney. Btw, how would you use this technique to practice electrics? As soon as you get one to come out switch sides or do something else?

[@xeno120]

I did the offline arcade mode practice in Dragon Ball Fighterz when I decided to get into fighting games for real, been doing it but not for practice for a while and realized it helped subconsciously

[@2ndCos]

I'm new to playing Tekken, and taking that "break" you talked about really accelerated my improvement compared to just repeatedly practicing certain aspects.

[@AidenAAAA]

Tekken has been REALLY hard for me bacause its my first tekken game AND im learning a new input (stick) so its a double whammy, but your content has helped me learn a ton !

[@iggyyyyyyy]

hey phi, how about getting a hitbox or arcade stick that have the buttons lit up when you press them? that should make your inputs visible on camera well there;s that button plugin on screen thingy too but i kinda dislike those

[@amafi_poe]

As someone who's not played any tekken since t3 on the playstation in the back room at work ages ago I love these videos, they're incredibly helpful. it's a shame they didn't put in online training mode, hopefully it's something they can patch in later.

[@denen404]

i'm now curious if the leverless board would be more comfortable for me I played it with my elite 2 controller my hands would end up sore after an hour or two(not even going to attempt it on m&k) I will say I'm not at all a primarily fighting game player I generally play them more singleplayer focused on the story and lore lol although I don't have the reaction time to play alot of fighting games against other people(I literally lost a few of the fights in the campaign...on the easiest difficulty)

[@xskyx9643]

I was doing this with a lot of doa5 LR players nothing is more satisfying then teaching someone there first combo ever or first fundamentals, seeing their reaction to them understanding whats happening is the most wholesome and exciting thing as a mentor

[@justinbutler7356]

That combo at the end got me emotional what the hell

[@steamedbuninvasion5792]

32:09 That was really good progress on Lily's part. During the video, I was like "Why isn't PhiDX saying anything?" But, she figured it on her own. That's very admirable.

Another pearl of wisdom about muscle memory. It's very true and I noticed it on myself. Resting is key, there is no need to get frustrated if we fail to achieve a certain thing. Just keep practicing, let it marinate and go back to it later.

[@brokenwolf5966]

So about the muscle memory part. Does it mean it's better to do a combo a couple of times and then just rest and do it again the next day? Or is it better to do it bunch but take multiple breaks in between?

[@PhiDX]

The latter

[@techmanc-iv6qh]

Hey man, what do you think about doing a video about stress during game sessions? We hear many times that it is just a game and to focus on improving, not winning, but the improving part can be stressful on it's own. Also, it would be very inspiring to hear words of wisdom and personal experiences from someone I look up to

[@jumbathepug]

wait thats a crazy tip that your jazz teacher taught you, thanks for sharing man

[@aaronjayadriano8363]

Do you plan on opening up Metafy sessions for 8? I saw you only have 7 listed right now and would love to book if you're coaching :>

[@kylespevak6781]

[@reirei_tk]

She was in my recommendations the other day, i think she's doing amazing for how long she's played the game. Yeah i know she prob doesn't think so, but the growth is pretty quick and if she keeps at it then she'll do even better.

[@SkyLordPanglot]

Im just entering fighting games. I was thinking of tekken but seeing the microtransaction shop they released I picked street fighter 6. Its a fun experience. Reminded me of the time I was learning to drive.

[@notfables]

I think people who are musicians have already trained skills that transfer very well to fighting games, especially tekken where combo'ing could be considered a rhythm game.

[@MikeLiteraus]

If there is one great takeaway from this its your blind jazz teacher and his input on muscle memory. Thanks! 💯😊

[@spinachsalad5522]

I am just starting tekken 8 as my first fighting game. I am making sure to have fun here, because you can only be a beginner once.

[@HalfLight808]

Yo PhiDX i was curious what your thoughts on panda are? I've mostly been playing her for fun, but I'm really starting to like her playstyle. It's weird, she doesn't have a lot of mixups, stances can be difficult to get into, but when she hits it's magic. I never thought I'd be basically maining a bear, but here I am.

[@PhiDX]

If she's fun for you that's perfect :)

[@ibadishi]

Top notch content!

[@hollowedboi5937]

Been watching every stream she's insanely good now even if she's still in orange ranks, that's actually a good sign instead of spamming to the top. She's actually learning. Yes your resting time and not overloading your muscles, including your brain, is very important for learning. Also very much so learning requires failing. Failing means you're experimenting and seeing what works, putting things into practice. She's doin' awesome.

[@cyberkat4267]
