LMAO same

I'll be releasing it tonight (about 7h from this post) 😀

Just the video I was waiting for! Thanks again for doing these. One tip I heard to consistently get df3,2~db2 is to hold db and press 2 once you see Nina retract her arm from the df3,2. Also, that was a sick combo @9:06, I’m going to try that later lol

[@AFriendlyTree]

Good tip! As long as she's in the beginning of her backsway, it will work. That combo formula is what I'd generally recommend right now. x2 power hits, x2 bufferflies, df+3,2~db+2, dash db+3+4

[@seydoundiaye7946]

I have always played on pad and I don’t hold the right hand side le you did on your previous video. I am currently mighty ruler with Nina. I feel like going with stick or lever less could help me improve. Do you have any recommendations for leverless? How long do you think it would take to get used to it?

[@AFriendlyTree]

The way I hold the pad is definitely not the only way and I'm sure the way you hold it is fine. Any controller you use will involve a lot of time investment to improve and they each have their own advantages, so I really need to suggest that you invest that time into whichever one you enjoy using the most! I hear people say that it takes a few months to get proficient on a new controller, but I feel like a year is a more realistic timeframe, at least to reach a level where you're comfortable enough to not be putting additional thought into eqch action

I think nina is the hardest character in the game

[@AFriendlyTree]

I think she has a lot of hard to use tools and executionally demanding combos, but she's strong and can function well with a pretty simple gameplan as well. She isn't a simple character, but I think her entry level is lower than many other characters

So I got a question about that db2 into qcf431+2 ender, like how does it work?(I couldn't hear clearly what you said cauae the music was a bit loud) I see you do f into qcf but nina does a dash right after the db2 and gets a lot of distance I tried doing ff into qcf but couldn't land it and now I see you just need f into qcf can you explain it please?

[@AFriendlyTree]

Sorry about the audio. I have the music set to duck when I'm talking and the keyframes are auto-generated. There may have been an issue with those keyframes. The db+2 into qcf+4,3,1+2 is still very tricky, but what I'm doing is using the directional input buffer to input f,qcf while Nina is in hitstun from the db+2. This is an input buffer change they made in Tekken 8 where you can perform a dash immediately out of recovery, and in this situation you're "storing" the f and qcf but only the x2 f motions register as something that can be performed instantly. The game performs what it understands, but stores the rest for when it can perform it once out of recovery. I hope my explanation isn't too confusing, but that's my understanding of it.

[@rikuheart91]

@@AFriendlyTree oooooh so that's a new thing, cause I was familiar with the input and motion buffering concept but couldn't grasp how you did it in this case, thank you for the clear explanation

Df 3,2+db2 What is this command Tell me plz On comment

[@AFriendlyTree]

Hey mate, didn't I link you videos on this very thing quite recently? Df+3,2~db+2 is the notation people have given for doing a df+3,2 into a db+2 for combos. The more accurate notation would be df+3,2~b~db+2 and what you're doing is cancelling Nina's df+3,2 into a backsway with a back input (this is new to Tekken 8), then once you're performing the backsway, instantly inputting db+2. As the cancel is a back input, the game will also perform the backsway if you press down+back. So most people input it as df+3,2~db+2

[@Jordyce]

good. now whatever you do don't do a hitbox video I swear to god

[@AFriendlyTree]

Why would I do that? I don't see any patterns in my videos that would suggest me doing a hitbox video? 😵
