Thanks for helping us nina mains, stuck on red ranks trying to learn as much as I can 4 months into the game and always coming back to your videos, thank you !

[@AFriendlyTree]

Hey, you're welcome. I'm glad you find my content helpful. Keep up the grind and let me know if there's anything more I can help with :)

[@Frustated_Gamer]

Easier way for hyashida is to swap l3 with r3 so that movements are controlled with r3 as well. Then qcb on dpad and flick r3 upwards with right thumb

[@Frustated_Gamer]

Repeatedly

[@AFriendlyTree]

100% that's a great suggestion!

[@Exponential_Entropy]

How do you swap l3 with r3 in the game? This seems good

Hey Tree! How about a video on Nina's uncommonly used moves and some insight on their advantages/disadvantages?

[@AFriendlyTree]

That's a great idea. I have another timely project I'm working on right now, but I could do a similar "in-depth" collection where I focus on individual moves after that :)

[@yugimoto4467]

Thank you so much

[@AFriendlyTree]

You're welcome :)

[@Anonymous1995]

Wow this is really interesting b/c I've never seen another players' hands when using Nina. The Hayashida hand movement in particular caught my attention... for the life of me I cannot use the tip of my thumb for Hayashida on 2P side like you do, but I can on 1P side. On 2P side I place the base of my thumb on d, and then make an arc movement with my entire thumb across d,db,b,u. On 1P side I use the tip of my thumb, similarly to you. Pretty cool how everyone inputs movement slightly differently.

[@AFriendlyTree]

It is cool, not only do we have unique expression in how we play the character, but also in how we perform our chosen actions xD It's incredibly rare for me to play on pad but this is the way I learned to do it around 15 years ago, and it still feels comfortable for me.

[@yugimoto4467]

You are amazing

[@angelfuentessanchez9476]

i need this video for hitbox, thank you for the amazing content!!

[@AFriendlyTree]

Sure thing. Coming soon!

[@AFriendlyTree]

Thank you :)

[@lucasstoo]

great video, very well detailled. much love

[@AFriendlyTree]

Much appreciated!

[@rarrieta789]

Great video, thank you for doing this for T8! I went back to your T7 video to improve my hayashida step so it’s nice having all of these techniques in one place. Also, do you no longer need a small sidestep before the db2 into qcf 4,3,1+2?

[@AFriendlyTree]

You're very welcome. I'll have a video like this released for stick and hitbox shortly as well :) The small SS before the combo ender is very much combo-specific. If you've done an extra hit than I have used for my demonstration in this video, a small SS can still be necessary to allow the 2nd hit of qcf+4,3,1+2 to connect.

[@rarrieta789]

@@AFriendlyTree awesome, thanks for the reply! I’m looking forward to the stick demonstration since I got my first one at the beginning of this year

[@denzbarzs7150]

Cant pull evil mist on pad only on stick

[@AFriendlyTree]

Oh? What's happening when you try? evil mist is easier in Tekken 8 and the input is qcf+2+3. So if you can do any qcf move, it should be the same. My first suggestion is that perhaps using a button mapped to 2+3 might make it a little easier to do.

[@TheTree1996]

Now I'm really conflicted. I usually play Nina on pads and have mastered everything with them. However, I've started playing other characters like Mishimas with a K-Lever, but I'm struggling to play Nina with it. Do you think learning K-Lever for Nina is a good investment, or should I just stick with pads? Thank you.

[@AFriendlyTree]

I'm far more comfortable with K-Lever than I am with pad, and find it much more enjoyable...As you'll see in my next video. But honestly, the answer is that you should play whichever one you have more fun using! As you already have both, at least there's no extra cost in your choice :)

[@ayonn]

Are you not playing on leverless?

[@AFriendlyTree]

I still am. This video is the only time I can recall playing a fighting game on pad in a long time. At least since I got my leverless. That being said, I did play on pad for most of Tekken 5-6 outside of the arcade, and I would use pad when labbing on my laptop in Tekken 7

[@ayonn]

@@AFriendlyTree I am shocked at the level you kept on it !

[@Regulus-uu7pb]

​@@AFriendlyTreeis the a significant difference from playing on pad vs leverless?

[@zazenbo]

I miss my wife

[@AFriendlyTree]

:( I hope everything is alright

[@Jordyce]

using pad to play tekken buddy sorry to say I must be unsubscribing. can i also get a refund on all my twitch subs to you, thanks

[@AFriendlyTree]

Are you sure? I might release a video showcasing how to play Tekken on a Guitar Hero controller soon! 🤣

[@Jordyce]

@@AFriendlyTree do it with a DDR pad, I have

[@Kuklo-]

You are a monster man, just picked up Nina and thought a lot of these were impossible until seeing this. Definitely subscribing 🤍

[@AFriendlyTree]

Hey, thank you heaps! It all definitely takes a lot of practice to get comfortable with doing, but give it time. How are you finding playing Nina so far?
