Jokes aside, it was SO NICE to have a less experienced player asking questions as part of the video - they asked a lot of questions I wanted the answers to, and really improved the value I got out of this Also Judy Cruh, lol

[@eduardoserpa1682]

I was just starting to implement aggressive sidestepping, and it felt really good, so I'm glad you're here to tell me to do it a bit less instead of more and more.

[@liabilitylinda3501]

Same. He is making me realise how many bad habits I picked up in 7 thanks to bad advice online. I am glad I took a long break from that game and now I can relearn some stuff properly

[@alphaamigo9688]

I don't think offensive stepping is bad per se. As long as you're not flowcharting it, it's fine. If you notice your opponent likes jab checking you after blocking a DF1, by all means, step and launch that shit.

[@alphaamigo9688]

Nvm he mentions this at the end of the video.

[@usmansubhani7482]

*Laughs in Yoshimitsu defensive options*

[@OctopusH2O]

You’re doing amazing work for beginners, it helps understand the way Tekken works more and also good tips to get better, all of this in a calming and entertaining way

[@shindig9000]

Love it! I kinda knew some of the info, but this framing of it makes it so much more usable for me! Thank you 🙏

[@SaintChanchai]

Thanks so much for the awesome content! Always answers so many questions I have learning Tekken more seriously 🙏🏼

[@PaperTigerLive]

Absolute gem of a video. PhiDX is really the best learning resource out there right now. I fear a bit that the prospect of labbing all kinds of situations of two consecutive moves will seem overwhelming to people. I think it is really important to get some quick wins! Maybe you could do a video on typical flowcharts to blow up by sidestepping. (Bryan b1 on block into df2 -> SSR to beat etc.)

[@clxxdxd]

Great vid! I like a lot your approach, with guide notes and record training examples. 🙌🏻

[@tk_crouchedpotato]

I learned Dragunov from watching Judicruh 🤣🤣💀

[@insomniaOP]

Hey Phi, this is unrelated to this video but I followed your advice on your last video about learning how to punish properly and being more patient and waiting strings out has helped so much, I am almost out of the red ranks :D

[@pencilswordfish]

This man is a goldmine for people like me. Been a Tekken player for like more than a decade but I feel like I learned so much about stand blocking, punishment, when to SS, etc in the past few days than I ever did for the last decade or so. Making my way through yellow ranks and it felt insurmountable to me before I checked this channel, but it's unbelievable how much 'comfortable' the yellow ranks became after watching his tips.

Great video man. I've been tryna coach my friend in Tekken, and I'm just getting to the point where I'm trying to explain the importance of movement/positioning. Now I can just have him watch this lol

[@Miss_Majin_Anime_Queen]

This man is a literal god at teaching tekken!

[@thankyou329]

I really enjoy that you're able to go into detail about why to practice certain things. Your channel has been clearer in explanation than even the greats like Judicruh

[@Destiny_fuker]

Great tips man! For both new and returning players. Like Max said "Hold back after ss!?" So many little things we forget/ never mentioned about tekken.

[@Try_Hard_Dad]

YO this is actually a goated video. You titled it about SIdestepping but there is SO much info in here for HOW TEKKEN works differently than other fighting games for FGC vets who never really played tekken

[@pdoubleyou5653]

This Video blew my mind !! Im pretty new to Tekken, its so fun to learn all those complex mechanics.

[@SleepmodeFGC]

The questions BoxBox is asking make me really happy because not only does it show that he’s very seriously trying to engage with the learning process, it’s causing him to learn a fundamental truth about Tekken and all fighting games: these games are built on edge cases and sometimes stuff just doesn’t make sense

[@TheAnomaly330]

Good stuff. I've been playing for years and still learning

[@jad1nsmitzh]

Bro phidx you getting known and it's well deserved 👊🏾 , what you've done with noctis against arlsan really amazed me. Keep going dude 🔥

I never want to hear the words Virtua Fighter is too hard ever again lmao. This game just has layers of obtuse need to know knowledge and we are lucky to have you explain this stuff in a way that makes sense! Thank you Phi.

[@freehatespeech6804]

I don't ever want to hear you say: VF is too hard

[@atuls55]

This is true. In VF sidestep and tracking moves are much more standardized and therefore far easier to understand. I think is one of the reasons VF has had an in depth tutorial in the past but Tekken never really has. It's too complicated to cover all this.

[@auroranamex5886]

​@@atuls55, I guess chaotic is the right word

[@FonzieMurff]

Bro I so needed this! I just subbed to your channel. I'm stuck in the orange ranks at Destroyer and I get irritated when I cant evade Jun and Lili's combos

[@Shoepots]

This is incredibly helpful as someone who usually only plays 2D fighters. I never really knew when to side step/walk.

[@shmobbie1]

Great video !! And it's funny to see boxbox here, I didn't know he played FGC

I only watch FGs casually but I really love Tekken. Saw this got recommended to me and am now subscribing! 👌 Also eyyy Max!

[@WBrizzle81]

What @phidx said around @20:55 says speaks to me. The frequency approach is what I've been doing to learn throw breaking. The muscle memory builds in the downtime.

Wow biggest advice I’ve ever heard or seen thanks

[@sleepinshinigami7216]

man ive been trying to get sidesteps since tekken 7 and u taught me this quick lmao

[@enigmasdestiny1355]

So this Tekken actually gives you more options to practice these things. Watching your replays, you can take control of the situation for ten seconds to see what you need to do against it. It allows for you to SPECIFICALLY practice tech against your opponents.

[@hollowedboi5937]

Muscle building is based on the time off. Give yourself time to rest and think, mull stuff over. Good shit.

[@RedWanderer1]

Excellent guide.

[@ToluElswordCEO]

hey, i havent had much time to catch you live but i have a favor to ask: i would really love a video (even if its a short one) where you breakdown round starts and what player especially beginner need to expect or aim for when a round start. now i am nowhere near to a good tekken player but i am also improving and the beginning of tekken rounds reminds me of chess games where people have different kinds of behaviour starting a round, thats why i would love to see you breaking down the important things of beginnings of a round. thanks!

[@ThyGippo]

Thank you, Sensei.

[@megamawile8540]

DoA has its RPS, but Tekken has its own take on RPS. This helps so much. Game changing detail. Thanks Sensei

[@harveyfritzg.huyaban6669]

ROAD TO 100K SUBS PHI !!! GO FOR IT BRO !!!

[@glocklesnar3570]

phiduxuh really uppin the content

[@123arskas]

On the point at 21:40 , Different people play the same character in a different style. It's amazing because it shows how they all can come up with their own style and at the same time it's tough because you can't learn to memorize all of their styles. So yeah, 8 or 24 hour lab against a single character does not mean you can beat all the players in the world who use that character. It's impossible. Muscle memory improves over time with experience and by playing lots of people you're exposed to new techniques and setups, and your mind needs time to adapt to them in order for muscle memory to kick in.

[@mylinuxstruggle5495]

I forgot to comment on this video. This was one of the greatest explanations.

[@K-Choi]

Man that wave dash is highly unnoticeable

[@VRFist]

"The muscle memory is built in a time off." = That is SO ON POINT!

[@xiongfong22]

Jidicr is the sound you make when you get hit by those electrics

[@aohdakibussubara8820]

Ok ok side step left. Gotta download that teck

[@Aerolyt]

4:10 Not sure if it comes up later, but for anyone wondering how this move gets away being only -6, it doesn't launch crouchers, instead becoming +5 on hit. So low reward for calling out crouchers, but great for frame traps or punishes.

[@kingkino2116]

Meanwhile reina's df2 doesnt launch crouch either and its -13. Tho all of her launchers except ewgf are pretty bad tbh

[@lichtbach7693]

godlike video brother. you are a great teacher

[@TribalKatz]

I love sidestepping now. I felt so proud of myself the other day when I sidewalked to the center of the ring so I didn’t have to deal with wall-carry combos. It just adds a whole new layer to the match that’s fun to explore. 3D is all I need. 😉

[@MythicalBlue]

Love the vids, any chance for some kind of general wall combo guide? I'm not really sure what to do after a wall splat outside of memorising lots of combos for every distance from the wall.

[@PhiDX]

my beginner guide has good info!

[@scarnovak5298]

Fun fact about DJ MC you can OS jab both MC1 and MC3 gotta delay the jab a tiny bit so it still blocks MC22 and MC4

[@azureknight729]

Never thought I’d see max and boxbox in the same video 😂

especially when reina clipps you with her electicleg move or df 2 and you are pretty much on her back already

[@monocyte2210]

That Lili short shorts is chef's kiss

[@MisanThrope-cu1mw7fj3p]

Been watching your vids since I started learning, and I have a question. Would you or would you not recommend using "special style" to an absolute noob who wants to set in the basics (movement, punishes, bread and butter combos), and then go from there? Or it would be bad because I'd have to relearn to play "properly"?

[@_dekanijo]

The learning curve to tekken now has gotten so much steeper I feel but it's still a game to have fun

[@xTroyScottx]

Find someone who loves you the way phidx loves himself when he evades something in example when he was supposed to take hit. 😂

[@customizablemilk353]

max and boxbox together in one video. never wouldve seen that coming

[@kougaprowess4698]

@PhiDX what are your thoughts on Kuma side swap paw and big wind up low paw? It seems like that move is guaranteed or maybe it just Im only person getting hit by that even on the ground with quick stand up

[@BLITZ_Jermanji]

I'd say stepping only is buffed situationally cause there's a lot more scenarios you have to guess. However, I really liked this video!

[@acronyx991]

Judicruh and Kanee are 2 legends! watching them helped me a lot too! I like that new guy R-slaan. He's quite good too.
