I have no idea why but that is INDEED the best kbd video. I tried many different ones but could never do it. Watched this video and did it within minutes that it spooked me and then i felt like a complete idiot. Somehow i was able to do it intuitively while watching this video 😅

[@whizthesugoi]

Putting Infil's glossary on the resources would be cool too

[@teckleedeyi]

Seriously great guide. I hope you will link your other tutorials here to eternalize this as a one stop shop for newcomers to learn the right things

[@SuperemeRed]

@PhiDX I'm a Tekken veteran since TTT1 and while this information isn't new to me. I can confidently say that this is one of the best beginner guides I've seen for Tekken. It's very well put together, you've got the gift of not only being a very good player but what not many of the top players have is the gift of being able to explain their train of thought and share knowledge in a clear and concise manner. I also really like that you put a lot of comparative screens next to each other, you also transition one bit of information into the next part in a very fluid manner. With very clear on-screen examples and concise text with highlighting for the stances. Great job man! perhaps Bamco should hire you to do some videos for them in the future :D

[@nonono9681]

no hitbox, kbdash guide?

[@lebagswag128]

as a new player i can confirm that i will be doing none of this and going back to mashing buttons with the panda bear

Button mashing is a cardinal sin in fighting games.

as long as you are having fun there is nothing wrong with that! enjoy the game in a way you can. who cares if people get mad at you for mashing ultimately if someone cannot handle mashing it is their problem not yours.

Yeah for real this is a great guide. I know a lot about FGs in general terms but I haven't played a Tekken game since part 3, well before I even knew what frame data is. This video was a huge help in getting the gist of the combat.

[@reborngreatnesss5712]

Tbh I been playing takken games for years especially takken tag tournament 2 But I haven’t play takken since then it’s good for beginners but in takken 8 the devs really help people for beginners on the controls for me I’m just very rusty in fighting games especially takken but my only complaint is where’s the run button and I already figured out the block button but overall I gonna whoop people’s ass 😂

[@oolongpantsu3437]

I am playing this series since i was a little child in the 90s. I have played and competed in T7 and played the T8 Network Test, Beta and Demo and still learned some new stuff and was reminded to apply some known basics. Thats how amazing your guide is Phi! Thank you very much.

[@kaptndhlln]

Will be rewatching this video over and over again thank you

[@Doc_Boons]

You're definitely rising to the top of Tekken content creation. The videos the past few months have been very intelligent and are by and large a cut above a lot of other Tekken content--and that's saying a lot, given the strength of the content community.

[@mekenzis2114]

its very intellegent yes

[@basewarrior]

Best Tekken 8 guide on the internet as of now and I will fight anyone who disagrees.

[@Chursh]

Brilliant. As a Streetfighter player on his first tekken since Tekken 1/2, This is great!

[@hushpuppi3]

As a beginner that understand sort of the very basic stuff this video really helped me understand what I'm needing to learn next and what I should start prioritizing. I just can't seem to get any better and feel like I'm constantly mashing buttons if I'm not randomly hitting either of my launchers that I know my combos for, but this gives me some more tools and hope the I can really start to understand whats going on. Also that outtro goes hard for no reason LOL

[@sten360]

Phi, this is genuinely the most comprehensive and visually clear Tekken guide I have ever seen, and will be my go-to from now on when recommending guides to friends. Thank you for taking the time to make it, and absolutely awesome work!

[@aliasalias510]

You know that this is gonna be the gold standard of guides for the next Tekken as well. This video is incredible.

[@lazykitsune4887]

You are doing God's work with this video and will help out a ton of the newcomers. Tekken is seen as a difficult game to get into and videos like this will ease in the new players. Great video and amazing production quality!! 👏

Out of all the videos i encountered ever since tekken 6, this is the most beginner friendly yet comprehensive tutorial vid. Props

"I onow you didn't pay $60+ to block..." Ya damn right I didn't! Great work on this Phi. Glad to see you're free from editing hell.

ive been going through dozens of videos and this is the only beginner's guide video that really clicked with me! thank you so much!!

[@mattatsu]

I’ve watched more than two dozen Tekken guides at this point and this is the only one I thought of bookmarking. This is amazing! Will watch it many times over. Thank you!

This is all so overwhelming. I will be studying this game for years to come.

As someone knew to the Tekken franchise, thank you so much for this! Especially the how to get up section, I've seen a lot of tournament play so I've seen the options but had no idea how it actually worked.

[@yasashiiasobi7303]

I only played SF5 and SF6 and never played a Tekken game before. A few things are similar, but for example the stances is absolutely new. Really, really great video! Must "beginner" videos expect to much knowledge to begin with. I keep coming back to your channel! Great job!

I’m not gonna lie as a beginner a would pay for this guide, absolutely fantastic guide no music in the background, explaining everything for us slowly and calmly, showing to us everything we need to see with no complications at all .. thank you so much man this is my first tekken ever i've been playing for three weeks now i managed to reach shinryu rank by taughting my self and learning the game but i came to conclusion that i still have to learn a lot of things about this game to be a decent player.

I'm not a beginner and I already know everything you said, but I sticked because of how well the presentation is. Great guide !

[@kriminallogic2283]

I come from the days of arcade machines and just mashing buttons and figuring things out one quarter at a time. Tekken 8 is really the first fighter I've started since then. Well done explaining all of this. Lots to learn and explain, articulated and very easy to follow. Cheers.

I've been playing Street Fighter for forever, so I've seen my share of basics guides to games. I have always wanted to get more into Tekken because I tend to like 3D games, but it just never clicked.

Incredible job. As a new player it was hard to find a detailed tutorial video that explains the mechanics in depth

That comment about button buffering explains why I am able to do some things I thought I wasn't executing correctly (Feng df 4,2,1+2) and also why I sometimes don't correctly get what I'm trying to do. It's really helpful to understand and I haven't heard that anywhere else! Excellent tip, thank you.

Also I sort of understood what frames were but this explanation has really helped. I'm going to have to watch it through a few times and also get plenty of training in but it's been really helpful, thank you!

The last Tekken i actually played for any decent amount of time was the first Tekken Tag Team Tournament on the PS2, i saw how dope Tekken 8 looked and had to buy it and give it a go, imagine my face when i loaded up and saw you can select the TTT OST, now I'm just living in nostalgia 🤣

As someone who has never played a Tekken before(or just doesnt remember when I played it last), this guide really helps. There's a lot to understand in this game, so it'll definitely take a little while to grasp a lot of the mechanics, but this is a great tool to help make it easier!

[@stfueg0]

I had to come see if you had any primer videos after watching all your coaching videos with other content creators recently, and I'm glad I took a peek! I consider myself someone who enjoys Tekken offline but never really dove into playing online matches or even pubs for fun because I didn't think I was good enough or had enough deep knowledge/memory. This gave me a lot of confidence to go in and give it another try as Tekken 8 legit looks like a lot of fun again (since Tekken Tag 2, personally) for everyone, even casuals.
