[@DeathScorpi0]

I'm honestly shocked at how fast you got to higher ranks. I've played Tekken my entire life but just 2 weeks ago I bought T7 and it was my first ever experience against human beings. It's a weird feeling, because I got to know how little I knew about this game, all my life defeating just bots.

[@lovelycrits5428]

SAAAAAMMMMME i thought i was the only one

[@blazejecar]

i've played tekken 5 since my childhood and i could routinely perfect the bot. Then after years I finally make friends who are into fighting games, i put tekken 5 on a ps2 emulator thinking imma whoop their mashing ass nah, all of em destroy me cause they just mash random moves and I'll be trying to block but obviously they're not using the same strings as the ai so i get surprised and punished for being patient. Turns out I only learned how to play against the ai's programming and real people will, in fact, not get hit by random super moves, the 10hit combos and devil jin's flight laser xD Realized i know jack shit about how to actually play the game fast forward to few days ago, a friend (complete noob for fighting games in general) buys tekken 7, asks to play on steam couchplay. Meanwhile I've played DB Fighterz since release, have way over 1000 hours on it and one of my friends even ranked high at EVO for the game and I beat him sometimes. I think "ah well now with my understanding of fighting game fundamentals and all I'll surely whoop ass in tekken" >play >pick characters i knew from tekken 5 so i can be familiar with moves AND apply my new knowledge >lose 13-4 this game is really not for me it seems xD

@@blazejecar cool story bro...lol j/k. I get it though. I thought I was hot stuff in Capcom vs SNK 2 and Street Fighter 4, then my friends showed me that I'm just used to programs and not real people 😐

Same. Been playing since Tekken 2-3 against bots, got 7 and tried online one day and got a big wake up call lol

[@VinceJayEBoter]

Same, I was playing Tekken 6 ang Tekken Tag 2 for years against bot and when I finally bought and played Tekken 7 I realized how much of I noob I was at the game😅

[@Bottles7]

I like how because you're Australian and I'm Australian I recognised the majority of the players you played against in this video. We must have been ranking up through these ranks at around the same time. Because I played a lot against delet in yellow and then noob in orange and red. Love the channel mate subscribed

[@danstone9039]

Jesus Christ... I’m getting close to 600 wins with my main and can only just manage to stay in yellow ranks

[@MassiveZug]

I played so much Street Fighter IV it should have been illegal; so I've got those fighting game mechanics in my DNA haha

[@abirneji]

@@MassiveZug yeah, it was crazy when you said it took you 30 wins per colour, whereas in my case I played casual offline tekken for years before taking it seriously so it took me about 150 wins to get to green, then 100-150 for every colour after that currently lodged in red and practicing 3d tekken funny thing to add on to the end here, I actually learned to play tekken the same way you did when I started taking it seriously and every rank description matched my experience, including leo's who don't let me rank up

[@develish1111]

Excellent! I'm a bit late to the party, but nice video. Pretty accurate description of how each color feels, though it varies quite a bit depending on how cheesy your character is. It's harder to get through the lower levels with a super honest, fundamentals-focused character (i.e. Kazumi, Lili, Shaheen) but it speeds up the intermediate process because you have to learn faster. I swear there is no more iconic duo in Tekken than low ranks and free Jins. I've fought so many myself.

[@jaybass8648]

Keep it up man, I'm a Lee player in Australia too! Glad to see this type of content from you, hope to Vs you one day

u r funny. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it very much because I have gone through the agony of losing desperately in Tekken inch by inch. It took me years to get to Ryujin. I've gone around the longest path while some people get good pretty quick.

[@RedBandanaGato]

An excellent choice, as a Lee main I'm glad to him have some love :D

[@vjuttujee5028]

can't step electric with most characters, you need to walk it. But it's difficult so I wouldn't recommend it. Also yeah recording your matches and watching them and labbing what you don't understand is the most time efficient way of getting better, good job figuring that one. Every exceptional player I've ever known has been able to play all or almost all characters proficiently, so I stole that strat when t7 came out, learned every character and now I'm without a doubt a better player than ever before. MAYBE ITS A COINCIDENCE, but what if it's not? gl

Hey, you played with the same character that I played when I started Tekken for the first time. That's pretty cool. Yesterday, was the very first day I've ever played a Tekken game and that was the first character I'd picked against my cousin and I'd won 4 consecutive times with him.

did you just start off by getting a stick set up, or did you already have one from other fighting games? if you have experience playing with, say a ps4 controller (what i use) - what's your two cents on the stick / gamepad vs controller?

[@joshsumner1611]

your early game stats are kind of incredible lol I lost so many games in early ranks its ridiculous

You can side step the perfect electric. But, you have to side step left I’m pretty sure because it has a property we’re it tracks right.

Hi. Just discovered your channel and it's really great, thanks for your guides, they are amazing. You mentioned you got to Tekken after dropping sf5. I have a similar situation, I quit after sf5, but I want to try Tekken. I played marvel and guilty gear, but 3D is a whole new world for me. Do you have any specific advices for transitioning from 2D to 3D?

I started with Lili, and when i did hit my 120+ something wins i was still in blue ranks xD Than i switched to Elize and get in yellow ranks in two days easy with glade abuse.

I love Tekken, but I’m still stuck at the starting line with movement. And throw breaking? Forget it!

[@axellyann5085]

It's all about the character. Example, King i usually mash 1 when he's close because they like to buffer giant swing. And when we are not close i mash 1+2 because they will use the running grab. Law, Bob, Marduk, Lee in stages with floor break, Leo when she has back at wall, Fahkumram and Kazumi when we have our back at wall, etc. All these dangerous throws break with 1+2 so I'm always alert to it. Way better just eat a normal throw than one of these that will kill.

​@@XNDL44 i get what you mean man. I hate losing to some dude who is using basic stuff and plays below average, but to progress upwards in ranked you gotta just win game 1 and exploit the opponent's patterns.
