Red Ranks are HELL in TEKKEN 8

[@sighyawn6378]

basically you get through red ranks by not dying and learning to master your character. you get through purples by working on your movement and defense. and you get through blue ranks by learning matchups.

[@macklemortlevivant6190]

I was Garyu a month ago now I’m fujin and damn the rise from garyu to mighty ruler was haaaarsh and now I can beat every rulers and red ranks kinda easily so it really teaches you how to be better specially for punish move

[@riceyboi7069]

I recommend trying to sidestep Drag, its daunting at first, but playing 2d against Drag is almost impossible to win. Drag has better frames on block than you, and unless u can react to every low, he will eventually catch you. This will force Drag players to think before they throw moves like running 2 alot. Also clean up ur wall combos a bit, especially with heat u can trap them with omen against a wall and force a mixup wallsplat. But even then every bit of dmg matters. Otherwise ur doing great, you are able to recognize ur own short comings and the play styles of other ppl. This is the most important part of tekken, and proves your roadblock will only be temporary. Because you have developed good habits in ur learning curve, and aren't stunting ur growth with excuses. Great video btw :D

I like how you're always trying to improve. Do keep in mind that most of ur early ranks are just a bunch of knowledge checks and trial and errors that you don't need to beat yourself up when you lose. Ranks doesn't mean anything until you get to fujin so keep on targetting self-improvement. You're doing great 💪

[@FreezingFrieren]

First time watching your vid, nice vid and nice Maka Albarn Scythe on the background!

[@TheAugurOfBalance]

Aye man, all those L's weren't necessarily losses, they were lessons. It was cool to hear you say that Mighty Ruler Drag inspired you to play better. Keep it up!

[@EnjinFGC]

You're absolutely right i learned a lot thats what it's all about

[@unchartedrocks1]

5:50 never assume just cuz u see a lower rank color that it’s a low rank player. When the match ends look at their profile. They are most likely much higher with a different character. Also some have low rank colors within that moment but are not new to Tekken just late to the party & just got the game but still remember how to play & wreck people.

[@IIIKaze]

Great video, if you want to progress w Jin you only have to use 2;1 and delay 2;1;3. I saw you didn’t use f+4 which is one of the best jin moves for keeping the distance and the control of the fight. Good luck for the next ! :)

[@vapersmith7859]

This is just one of the brighter spots of Garyu trust me when I tell you there is more to Red ranks than appears especially in my case. For one thing its like ALL of the worst kinds of desperate Wifi and other vermin come out of the woodwork trying their absolute to not let you promote (This includes all of the top tiers like Dragunov, Hwoarang, Lidia with serious lag and King with serious lag). Then when you DO promote if you work on any alternate characters not only did they get promoted when you didn't ask them to your opponents are inflated even more. Meaning if I want to seriously pick up Feng or Jin for example I have to work harder than I normally would just not to demote never mind make progress.

[@YoMLVN]

Great video bro. I've been doing well up until Shinryu with Jin. Started to lose a lot and close matches too (all 5 rounds). Now, I'm back at Garyu. It's a struggle for sure but after this video, I'm going to pay attention to frames and lab more in practice.

[@frankbenderii322]

Everyone knows the Jin matchup and he’s not that good. If you are really hellbent on Jin, make a strong effort to not use predictable flow charts. In others be as unpredictable as possible.

[@stripesisdead]

I look forward to seeing you in purples, also Feng I feel is one of those characters you learn to block from experience. Had my older brother not played him in T5 I wouldn’t be as good as I am at blocking some of those strings he has that end in a low or that while crouching helicopter fist thing he does that hits low. Keep up the good work, this legacy player is rooting for you

[@remon.d8341]

My tip is play defensive mostly and dont match and actively use buttons, so dont do 1 3 4 or something out of habit but really think about why you use it and when. Learning strings and some frame data is a big help aswell, specially against characters you see a lot (drag, king, jin, kaz, dj etc)

[@ingvarr91]

Feng is my mein. It took me a month and a half to reach the red ranks. I changed and improved my tactics several times. And I'm still learning how to play Tekken. I wish you good luck in the ranks.

Looks like we're the same lol good luck on your journey too!

[@XenonRider7]

I just got to Tenryu using Asuka and it was rough lol

[@nurdauletpolatbek2681]

Very big part of defence, if not the biggest is matchup knowledge, so for someone who has limited knowledge yoh are doing decent job, not sure if 100 matches is enough for your defence to be where you want it to be due to the nature of tekken characters and their huge movelists And to prove a point about matchup knowledge, during Tekken 7 Arslan Ash would occasionally pick Zafina and once in a while use her snake edge, a 29 frame low that should be very reactable for a pro player in offline setting. But they ate it anyways

[@MeepMeep193]

7:39 BROOOO THAT FEELING IS SO REAL.

[@AngeloGene]

Honestly, you're climbing very fast. I still believe that you already qualify as a purple rank. Your analytical approach (by watching and learning from your replays every match) and the way you implement it in your games is very effective. And um... Don't feel too bad about the Dragunov fight. You fought someone who has 175,000 Tekken Prowess. That's actually a Blue rank player and Dragunov is not his main. It takes one to know one. I have 176k Prowess right now with a Blue rank Yoshimitsu, and only a purple rank Claudio. Anyways, love the content! I hope you continue your journey. I still believe you can make it to Purple and even Blue ranks. All you currently need is a way to land your 50/50s constantly on your opponent. If you're interested, I'd be willing to divulge some tips you can immediately apply in your Jin gameplay. Both offensively and defensively. Because I have noticed that you don't use his broken combo ender.

I’m finding it really difficult to stop people from mashing or power crushing, heat bursting etc. Kazuya has really slow moves too so it’s hard to make people stop

[@n9nedots]

As a Bryan player, I can confirm we are either really bad or godlike. No in between. I’m definitely in the really bad category haha I think the problem is the character really requires you to think about every single move and read your opponent. We don’t have intuitive launches like the rest of the cast. Even Lee, another CH character, has a few traditional launchers that don’t require CH. So a lot of us, especially me when I was new new at Bryan, tend to gravitate to snake edge since it gives us a guaranteed combo without any thinking. It’s a bad habit that people who don’t learn what the character wants to do before learning the character end up developing

[@EnjinFGC]

Honestly just be alert in every moves of ur opponent. Read all the patterns of ur opponent. Always crouch if u see high moves and punish all minus frames.

[@RECLUTA3]

10:32, bro if he have 10hp and miss the rage art, grab im you have the 99% to win or if he have 45hp do the high kick and start the combo, and then also try to train on punishments because you have wasted a bit of opportunity to do a lot of damage to him, if you master this then you will become excellent🌹🌹

[@iTrappp]

what glasses u wearing man? those clean

[@MassStarvation]

I see your over reliance on D+2. It is strong not gonna lie, but you need to mix things up by also using d/b 4 and f+4 in your gameplay. What I also use to bait out jabs is using d/f + 2 into special stance crouch dash then immediately hitting u/f+2 which is an evasive move. Try those as it may help.

[@Brass_Heathen]

Sorry even that comment might have come off a little snobbish. I don't believe the the feng's pressure was unreal. I've endured worse. The correction I meant to more specifically make is this: Then you are feeling pressured and hit a button to get them off you there needs to be something to follow up with. It's like in the beginner ranks were launchers are thrown out everywhere and then one finally lands.... and you just drop the combo. The gear change from "I'm being pressured> I escaped the pressure> combo/oki/reposition needs to get smoother. Just like what is said it about launchers at lower ranks throw them out with the EXPECTATION the they are going to HIT and if they don't react accordingly. To avoid an "oh shit, I launched him; what do I do" moment. I mean if your throwing out a launcher anyways to your taking the risk, at least reap some reward, even if it's not optimal. It's the same thing with escaping pressure at that level. You threw something out and risked getting counter hit while under range 1 pressure atleast reap some reward. Even if it's just a ff2 for space or a side walk to get off the wall, hell bait a get up get up kick from him and punish/whiff punish; just get some reward for your risk. Hope this helps up your efficiency, it's just something that really stuck out to me and it seemed like the focus may have been on the wrong thing.
