Learn To Block Punish // Tekken 7 Beginner Guide - 104

[@darianwoods1809]

As a new tekken player I’m so grateful for this...

[@PeterYMao]

As a content creator, I am grateful to have you :)

[@ryanhass8716]

Never considered the "getting your opponent out of their comfort zone" aspect of block punishing. Very interesting.

[@PeterYMao]

Absolutely! Getting your opponent out of the comfort zone is by far one of the best ways to keep them from playing the way they want to play :)

[@SeylorCh]

This is such an incredibly helpful video, especially the part about how to practice this stuff. I've been playing for a few months and had that question about how can pros just react to specific moves. Great video

[@PeterYMao]

Nahuel I hope you are still playing the game and I hope all is well. I am glad the practice sections have been helping you out. I believe it is always important to pair concepts with practice to really solidify the learning.

[@KirraZirra]

I love your videos. New Tekken player feeling a little frustrated after a ton of matches online. You were a great find, and a reminder that I should focus more on learning the basics and improving fundamentals. Great series! Subbed!

[@PeterYMao]

Honestly sometimes it’s best to work on fundamentals for a bit after being stuck or frustrated online. What you’ll find is that after a little period of working on fundamentals and then returning to online is that you’re stronger than before.

[@beefstrokinoff]

Hey Peter! Just wanted to say I have picked Tekken 7 as my first real attempt at a fighting game and found you after deciding I needed to really delve into the details and find what I need to know. I just had a game yesterday with the tall blonde character that has the corckscrew uppercut kick bullshit that sends you FLYING and she just combod me to death repeatedly because even when I blocked it, I didn't know what to do. Now I do and I easily could have won that match. Thanks so much!

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

I came here from the main man. I appreciate how your tutorials are formated (also what is the song you used in the practice session)

[@PeterYMao]

Thank you for taking time to visit from TMM. I actually don't remember the song that I used for the practice sessions, as I got them all free from the youtube audio library (to avoid copyright issues). However, if you would like I can start putting song names in the descriptions of videos going forward.

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

[@tyrellgiddeon5284]

7:10 - Sounds like the makings of a great techno track. If you ever end up making a full song with the Deathfist scream, I'd happily put that in my gaming playlist. Quality entertainment right there.

[@PeterYMao]

I briefly entertained the idea

[@FearlessKurt]

I've been playing since Tekken 3, but these videos are incredibly helpful. And I love those Pusheens in the background.

[@PeterYMao]

Thanks so much Kurt Kevin. It's very reassuring to know these guides still find use for players like yourself :)

[@snickle1980]

💖💖I've never played Tekken until this week, but your videos were insanely helpful!! I watched the first 5 videos in your series and I'm now _consistently beating_ my friend who's been "casually playing for 15 years off and on". On day 1, he was beating me with an 80% to 20% win rate, and i was mashing buttons. By day 3, I was beating every character he played. I'm pretty sure These aren't typical results, but i had to share my noob redemption arc with someone. 😁 PS: I like the Williams sisters.

[@snickle1980]

_(and to clarify, the videos on movement were the most helpful. it's really the difference between being a stationary target in 2d and being a blur that the opponent cant see.)_

[@MrTepik]

You are amazing I had to learn alot of this independently, and you definitely plugged some holes in my knowledge :)

[@PeterYMao]

You're very welcome. I always hope that even to experienced players they could find a little tiny nugget of good info in these guides :). I try to do my research and test things before releasing.

[@MrTepik]

@@PeterYMao appreciated! I hope it doen't bum you out to get requests, i'll just write "M. Raven" and hope it will subconsciously inspire you to make a guide for her in the future ;) Best of luck! I'll definitely will be tuning in and sharing regardless. ♡

[@PeterYMao]

You're very welcome Sad Papu :) I'm glad there was something I could help you with ^_^

[@pawepawlak9067]

Yep, that's the best explanation available on YT.

[@PeterYMao]

Wow, thanks so much for the compliment Pawel Pawlak :)

[@Diandredofus]

13:40 to be clear, when you say "harder to block punish", that's not because there's no input buffer in Tekken and that you need to hit your punisher within a 1-frame window perfectly everytime, but simply because the window to react is much narrower.

[@walduskiepski5312]

Really good teacher. He tells us everything. BTW with punishment training I propose in record start with any move mid or high wich has advantage on block or - 3 like Paul's ff+4 and after that death fist. Ff+4, f+3,1 Ff+4 b, 1+4 And rest of the grabs. When grab escape was good enough i changed with ff+4 or even ff+2 b (cancel) and seeable low. Once when I watched on KZbin some of the games of American and Korean players I felt that i tapped inputs with my eyes when I saw wich arm is closer during grabs. I felt like I had sharingan in my eyes

[@PeterYMao]

It's always a good idea to mix up what you record for punishment training. Don't forget to practice with just single hitting attacks because sometimes attacks just come out of nowhere.

[@walduskiepski5312]

@@PeterYMao I've experienced that today with armor king grab WR 2+4 because... I don't know it's impossible for player do that from shortest range or it's a matter of manual. Because I couldn't do that grab correctly so I've set it up with single grab. Why bot with set it up grab can do it no matter how close to me is he??

[@PeterYMao]

@@walduskiepski5312 WR+2+4 can be done from range 0. You just have to get used to doing instant while running. Look up instant while running.

[@PeterYMao]

Yup, but don't take it for everything.

[@pektuspektus612]

Another great and comprehensive tutorial. Thanks Man!

[@mominyousuf6432]

I am not a beginner, I actually started playing tekken 7 4 months ago and after watching these 4 videos I have realized how much I have missed. Thank You Peter sir.

[@PeterYMao]

Block Punishment is a super fundamental concept. Anyone who has missed the fundamentals such as block punishment, whiff punishment, understanding all the options of how to get off the ground, frame data on basic attacks in the game I would say is a beginner. Whether players care to admit as much is another matter entirely. However, I'm happy to say that it makes me proud players are looking to learn to play the game properly such as yourself and looking to better yourself every day :) I could wish for no more than players learning ^_^

[@Swoophy]

Amazing video Peter. Beginning to understand this.

[@PeterYMao]

Hahaha, I wish. Then I'd have someone to play offline with xD

[@ZeroSleap]

It's a bit weird,but as im starting to try and learn this thing i am realising you have to mentally see the move WHILE IT's travelling,and wait for it to finish. But while it's travelling you are preparing your input to land just at the frame of impact.It's tricky,because lag of registering your move etc.But i think thats how it works right?

[@PeterYMao]

Recognition is definitely a huge part of block punishment. You can't punish something you don't know. However, another part of block punishment is trained muscle memory. The more you practice punishing something the easier and easier it will be. Almost second nature to you.

[@dwighttaylor2184]

I'm curious about you use of the benny hill show music... where you born during its run time on tv or did you just hear it in another show and dont even know who benny hill is

If you block the noctis slide you can launch him. The slide is usually launch punishable with a while standing launcher.

[@WJiam-k6n]

Is there any benefit in holding B for defense?

[@PeterYMao]

Yes. Always hold back if you want to block mids and highs. Certain strings if you don't hold B for defense you will get hit by follow up attacks. You can test this with attacks like Bryan's d+3+4,2. If you hold B you will block the mid, if you don't hold B you will get hit by both attacks.

Problem, EWGF is my launch punish for feng iron mountain but a lot of the time df2 comes out. Am I too early? I’m starting to get frustrated. I’m trying not to cause I’m new to the 3d fighting games. Mostly play 2d

[@darkrlos21]

You can't buffer ewgf during the block stun so you have time the ewgf to when the block stun ends.

[@PeterYMao]

Hey Ying Yang. I just tested it out for you, and I ran across the same issue initially too. So here's a tip: 1) Make sure to turn on command history in practice mode so you can make sure your inputs are correct. So that you can at least eliminate this as the potential problem. 2) Try inputting the EWGF motion specifically the initial f part of the f,n,d/f,f+2 slightly slower than you might think to punish Feng's iron mountain. 3) If all else fails... try to punish iron mountain late, to the point that it is blocked. And then slowly speed it up little by little until it is registers as a block punish. Hope that helped.

[@darianwoods1809]

Peter Y Mao #2 works pretty well. I feel like a tiny spec in the tekken ocean
