Schooled by a Pro Tekken Player

[@PhiDX]

This was a wonderful session! Thanks so much for having me

[@Deagorsarrh]

Great teaching, really cool to see the instant improvements on the gameplay 😀

[@cloudneostormful]

Yes! I'm going to check out your channel now. Love the knowledge for each charcter. I'm maining lili and been stuck in red for a bit now. Your advice while specating seems to resonante with me. Gg

[@neoconnor4395]

DUDE.. I AM SO STUCK AT ELIMINATOR. I'm brand new to Tekken, transferring over from MK (I'm a God in MK) and my ignorance has left me completely stumped in ELIMINATOR rank. I dunno what it is, but I'm trying to fix it.. Reminds me of when I got stuck at Grandmaster in MK11. That's the rank when you start to get legit resistance. It's kinda embarrassing though because you'd think my generic understanding of fighting games would have got me to the red ranks..

[@CrimsonMoonM]

That Jin who had decked out his character to look like K' from KOF did an amazing job with his character creation.

[@bloodbone2606]

i was jus bout to say ik it has nothin to do wit the but damn i needs tht😭

[@Kujaaa]

You should have all the content creators coached by PhiDX have a lil tourney!

[@Yous0147]

This was mega hype. Your on the fly fighting game gusto mixed with PhiDX's excitement seeing you do so well was a joy to watch

[@provaud]

As a fellow Jun player hardstuck in Shinryu @PhiDX is almost singlehandedly carrying my growth as a player. Fucking fantastic vid and keep working Crofts hopping to see you in the red ranks big dog

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Tekken has been so fun. I only played Tekken 3 as a kid in the 90s. Coming from SF6 to Tekken has been awesome. Still confused and mostly mashing but a lot of fun and feels way better than SF6. SF6 just feels weird and random at times Tekken feels more fair. Hopefully that makes sense.

[@riveteye93]

bruh tekken is an endless knowledge check untill you learn it all, it's fun and I love it but damn

[@watchmesquatch]

​@@riveteye93 it's much more enjoyable than SF because it feels like a real fight. SF gets bland after about 100-200 matches.

[@yoshitsune5691]

@@watchmesquatch100% hit master rank, and a lot of match’s felt the same, maybe it’s because I mainly run into Luke or ken, with a few Ryu, and Djs. Tekken on the other hand, even the same character plays completely different, depending on the player.

[@thugstascry]

@@yoshitsune5691yes, you can differentiate the skill of your opponent through their movement too.

[@Robstafarian]

While Virtua Fighter remains in history, Tekken is pretty much the only fighting game in which the mental stack consists of body mechanics rather than meter usage (Of course, Tekken 8 is a move toward the rest of the genre.).

[@theroyalbacon2294]

After the 1+2 throw, you have a guranted d4. If they get up fast a lot, df44 (warning, unsafe option).

[@chrishipop5]

what i used to do in t7, a month ago was write down in my notes the gameplan for every character I faced and 3 moves to avoid or punish. and It worked, and I got to Ryujin for the first time

[@El-Burrito]

Nothing like the first second of a jmcrofts video to put a little pep in my step

[@maxv658]

Awesome video! Super cool getting insight into the inner workings and mind of a Tekken pro in the context of a coaching session.

[@whizthesugoi]

I was watching in PhiDX's stream, it was SO hype

[@Libreom]

yo with PhiDX’s energy and coaching anyone could make it to finals lol. really awesome vid i gotta go drop him a sub!

[@El-Burrito]

This video is perfect for me as I've just managed to claw my way to Destroyer and I'm always looking for stuff that I can improve on.

[@zex69]

4:08 bro fighting K' 😮

[@SourSlurpee]

Watching PhiDX pop off had me popping off for my guy

[@jeremiahwallace2962]

Bro your side steps on that Jin were so subtle and clean I was in shock that was good evasion keep it up !

[@redpandawithshotgun2396]

I absolutely love watching you play tekken keep up the great work

[@jeremiahwallace2962]

This was well informed video for me thank you guys both so much for this !

[@Kenlac92]

Phi just loves tekken so much its such a nice thing to watch

[@b_rza]

Came to the channel originally for the 2D FGC content, staying for the 3D because I play Tekken lol

[@Derwood01]

Great video. Im starting to love seeing PhiDX popping up everywhere. Hes really cool.

[@TokyoAqua78]

that Jin in the end DESERVED the loss so hard for his spam grabs

[@Luper1billion]

In chess they call it taking the initiative. If you sit back and let your opponent form their plans, you can fall into a trap. Walter White said it best "I'm not in danger, I am the danger"

[@princekanbatsu2301]

Damn is so fucking cool to see street fighter players going at it in Tekken 8 Keep going lads welcome to our game

[@JokeZ1337]

Ha, nice job. See you in red ranks, if you're not already there :D One thing: you were using Jun's FC df1, the 10 frame punish, a couple of times as a normal attack. The first hit is a special low, so they can block it even when they are standing as long as they hold back. It costs a lot of health and on top of that is -19! So use it only as punish.

[@hatch450sx3]

What a great way to teach and coach. Love the energy.

[@joshuabrown943]

That's where I'm at now just hit red rank but I could see purple in my near future

[@jeremiahwallace2962]

Bro keep watching these vids and you main and with enough practice and self reflection you’ll be in purple soon !

[@Jonrskittles]

I'd love to see more of your Jun, please stream more!

[@cinnabarsin4288]

Are you me? Other than my Jun has a smart petticoat and cap. Been slowly working my way up and down Orange ranks and feel like I'm finally getting closer to Red. Need to rewatch this again when not playing since there's a couple things I know I haven't been using.

[@l0wskilled]

phidx is coaching everyone at this point...

[@pampamtamtam4001]

4:08 I love that cosplay

[@EldritchMephi]

You got this, this is the first 3d fighter ive tried to learn and i got to Garyu last night :)

[@GreenShellShock]

It was so satisfying to see your growth in the matches

[@Persephone_07]

PhiDX has got a monopoly on the "Coach Street Fighter players in how to Tekken" market.

[@newtreesmell7338]

@2:19 is that bloodynine the dota 2 player? when worlds collide haha

[@Nate-zb4bk]

Love the positivity of PhiDX coaching.

[@Kenlac92]

Phi is putting in WORK son lets go

[@sloomp4711]

you didn't ask but you should use her stances more! try using up 2 more to enforce plus frames and stance mix up

[@worldofwaffles]

Can you win without knowing frame data or pro movement? Find out in waffles vs jmcrofts

[@ImHezer]

More content like this please

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

What a comeback jm! 👏👏👏👏

[@MediocrityAtItsBest]

I had a feeling that Paul would fold once you put the pressure on him

[@IAMOP]

Phidx is showing up everywhere lol

[@PSOnoni]

This was so sick! Had me popping off

[@ericyeahbaby3875]

Great coaching

[@Dyleniz]

Phidx getting around teaching people how to play

[@DrunkenPumpkin626]

Is it me or is jm having frame slowdowns? he might wanna check his fps

[@vinnieharper]

Nice, JM!!

[@jaredthegamer369]

I clicked after seeing K'

[@FAM0US-M0NSTERS-]

I actually found your channel a few years ago after beating the brakes off you in T7. Your playing Jun this time around, so you should be just fine.

[@yogxoth1959]

You didn’t use b22 even once like Phi told you :(

[@mlgxxx808]

Seeing a tekken 8 rage quit montage

[@theSkarekro]

You're too respectful of your opponents, letting them breathe and playing passive. If you're new to the series, it's a hard road if that's the play style you prefer because of so many characters and moves to learn. Maybe you should play a character more oriented to keep out like Lee, Asuka, Bryan. And use more power crushes if you're getting overwhelmed. It'll help relieve the pressure and reset to neutral

[@mrhygiene]

First

[@mechashadow]

Phi-DX...this pronunciation is terrible

[@prawngravy18]

Nooooooo not jun :(

[@Konomaru]

You actually made me wanna play Jun as my 2nd Character :)
