Tekken 7 Alisa - How to poke for whiff creation (with match examples)

[@mylinuxstruggle5495]

Been playing Alisa since release I would say I'm an advanced player going in tournaments leaving pools. This is hands down one of the best videos on Alisa I have seen. I especially liked the b+1 after not playing Alisa since season 2 this was a breath of fresh air. I realized I don't use b+1 enough somehow looking at this video.

[@Fictionarious]

Maybe the best Alisa tutorial I've seen, certainly for its length. Straight and to the point; good stuff

[@ics3217]

This video is the rare combination of very useful info and very entertaining presentation that just puts a smile on your face. It doesn’t hurt that I’m a huge fan of old school 16-bit rpgs and their great music :-) Bravo!!

[@Rakuzou]

Last time I watched this video I was Vindicator on alisa, now im Divine Ruler. THANK YOU

[@carpet_rug07]

This is criminally underviewed, Itss so gooodd I can't think of a reason why anyone would ever dislike this

[@dreday6320]

The game gods answered my prayers. I've been looking for a video like this for the longest for Alisa. This explains her style in complete depth. Now I understand why her poke dmg is so low

[@Razielfever]

Thank you for giving us a nice pro direction on making our opponent whiff. What I wanted to note was that after db+3 if you are in a close range(or with your back in the wall) you can do db+1+2(which will be a throw since you're in FC ) to catch people off guard.Nobody expects a throw while crouching and that's the reason I think that db+3 has the most flexibility of all the bait moves Alisa has.

[@gajimaru2570]

Yes. But you should also think beyond that 45 dmg from the throw to see how they could answer this sequence. Especially if the opponent is not confident with throw breaking they could do any of these to launch the crouching throw: sidestep either way, backdash (need some timing and to release the last b), duck, high crush with hopkick or snake edge, backsway like Dragunov qcb+2, or a 12 frame CH move like Alisa 2,3,3, King b+1 or Leroy b+1+2 (needs to be exactly 12 frames, 11F magic 4s will not CH). That's a lot of options so you need matchup knowledge and to observe your opponent's habits to be ready with an answer. For example if they play Claudio and hopkick after your db+3, you can SSR after db+3 instead of throwing to avoid the hopkick and launch, but you cannot SSL it. Breaking down your offence from the opponent's point of view is one of the things that makes Tekken so fun for me

[@Razielfever]

@@gajimaru2570 So much information to process lool. Hopekicks are certainly an issue but flexibility does exist and some of these are little niche although when you discuss about creating whiff punishment opportunities every discussion is somewhat of a "niche discussion" xD

[@lNe11yl]

that's the best Alisa short guide you can imagine

[@LainTK]

You are helping me making a new design for my new Alisa on 2022 meanwhile im on a break, very relaxed and enjoyable video, thank you so much for reminding me who is Alisa. Lain TK.

[@gajimaru2570]

Thank you Lain, your matches are always an inspiration to me. Alisa is difficult to play in s4 but I feel she has more potential like maximising backturned punishes after sidewalking. Let's keep learning

[@HairyLoco]

Hands down the most essential guide I've found to advance my Alisa gameplan. Where other guides briefly mention Alisa's evasiveness and movement, this is the first one I've seen that properly explains HOW and WHY it works. Amazing job, thank you very much for this. ❤

[@atlante4368]

This tutorial is better than the overly long ones over there. I was actually playing Alisa right then and watching it during the loading screens. Excellent material.

[@gajimaru2570]

Thank you!

[@larjudetablando7565]

This is probably the best tutorial not just for Alisa but for teaching the fundamentals of Tekken as well. The fundamentals of high level play which is poking, not just spamming.

[@sarcastiquebro882]

This is very informative, and well-made! I've been thinking of trying out Alisa because movement is one of her core strengths, of which the player has to utilize everything in their power to maximize their chances of winning with Alisa. That includes whiff creation, punishing, and sidestepping. And what's more important, is that movement is a transferrable skill.

[@carlolaurie1796]

I've actually been playing her wrong this whole time. After Db+3 I would always backdash for safety, b1 I don't even do a lot, f2 I only use to go into DES. Sidestep and her movement I would use a lot just for whiffing. I've watched chanel, and would think how he gets it right. I thought of what I was dling wrong then I saw this, I got goosebumps. Thanks so much man you inspired me #TeamArisa

[@Michaelazatoss]

Such a good tutorial music are on point too

[@artguy7992]

tips: characters like kazumi and claudio are effective against alisa, for kazumi she can use her b2 after blocking alisa b1 and it shuts down alisa ss , backdash and also abares ,same with claudio b1 , but loves like kuni b2 , lili f3 doesnt work they will whiff if alisa backdash

[@gajimaru2570]

Yes, in matchups where the opponent has a 15F mid homing move Alisa cannot use b+1 in the usual way. Here we have to mostly hold it after b+1 on block and only use it for the FC mix on hit. However other offence starters like f+2 and db+3 do the trick. That's a difference between Alisa and characters with a generic df+1 - she uses different moves for different matchups.

[@Star-Proxima]

[@dankquan743]

itd be the same video, everything here still applies

[@kathyxo]

This video is amazing and has improved my alisa very much. I did have a question though: what is alisas best back turn combo? Like if she happens to step you all the way around to the opponents back, what is the best but also most consistent combo to use? I appreciate it. 🥰

[@gajimaru2570]

So glad to hear that! The two highest damage backturn punishers are ws1,2,3 into full launch (f2 or b1 route) and db2,2 into guaranteed b4,4 DBT 2,1 (on smalls and Bob SBT 1,2,1). They both do 80-100 dmg but can be tricky to use unless you know the situation, as ws1,2,3 requires you to step then crouch, and db2,2 is a bit finicky with pushback, you need to sometimes do it instantly and sometimes delay the second hit for the b4 to connect. Ws1,2,3 is good for example when you SSR the third hit of Anna uf1,3,3+4 or duck under an Akuma jump, db2,2 is good for example for punishing King springkick. But for a quick BT punish in a hectic situation I prefer 2,3,3 (knockdown / wall stun) or, if the opponent doesn't know, 1,2,2#. This one becomes a 10F launcher if they try to block, they need to jump or interrupt with a BT move to avoid it. That's already four choices but hope it helps :)

Who's another character that's good at creating whiffs similar playstyle?

[@gajimaru2570]

Many characters like Lili, Zafina, Jack, Armour King, Xiaoyu, Miguel, Eddy. The two other main damage sources besides whiffs are counterhits and mixups. These characters are all good at whiff creation and have different strengths in the other two departments

[@reignandbongao9497]

I love starting my offense with 1 jab to db 3. in my lower ranks nobody blocks or low parry it. It makes opening up so much easier than before. probably gonna stop using it too much or it could be bad habit in higher ranks

[@gajimaru2570]

It's good. You can create a very simple RPS from jab on block. db+3 beats jab and sidestep but loses to mids and hopkicks. 4 launches mids, floats hopkicks and beats sidestep, so now they have to either jab or duck (or 11F magic 4 if they have one). b+1 beats ducking, magic 4, floats jumping moves but loses to jab or sidestep. When you don't want to take any risks you can just jab into sidestep block or dash block. If the opponent is very good you can always add riskier options to break their defence

[@denzelsugayan432]

[@eggcellentegg2817]

Does this still work in TEKKEN 8?

[@Merumya]

very nice stuff. You dont happen to have a tutorial/info how to properly combo after a low parry? Been working on them lately against some mishimas and im able to pull them off - but cant do anything with it, except shock my opponent :D

[@gajimaru2570]

You can use any of the usual combo routes after low parrying: f+2 df+1,1 d+4,1+2 S! d+3,1 (easiest to perform, easy to convert for wall carry, lower damage), b+1 WS+1,2,3 4 S! microdash d+3,1 (easy to perform, harder to convert, good damage), WS+1,2,3 d+4,1+2 S! d+3,1 (staple, easy to convert, good damage). But if you are reading Mishima hellsweeps you should block and launch with WS+2. I'll work on combo tutorials soon

[@Merumya]

@@gajimaru2570 thanks! Sounds great. Im looking forward to it, especially the combos the game doesnt teach you.

[@odydeukaleionas7281]

Hi again.. Can you tell me what setting(in practice) I must change in order to make practice to whiffs???

[@gajimaru2570]

Sorry for the late response! That's a very good question. What I normally do set the bot do Alisa moves like db+3 into backdash or f+2 into sidestep left or right, and myself pick the opponent's character and try to hit Alisa with their key moves. For example if you pick Julia you want to see about her f,f+1 / df+3 / d,df+1 / uf+4,3 and other important moves which ones Alisa can backdash, step left or right, or walk left or right. That should give you an idea of what is best for the matchup at close range, pushback moves or sidestep moves!

[@yuxi_dota2yuxi715]

How did u do that reset combos, is it range specific? Cuz i cant seem to get it right

[@gajimaru2570]

It's range specific, you have to screw with the 5th aerial hit so ws1,2,3 b2,4 or b1 ws1,2 b2,4 etc then SBT 3 hits at tip range and combos into ws1,2,3 1 wr2. Opponent has to stay down, it won't pick up if they tech or back roll, so this kind of stuff is good for round enders when they think they have the life lead to lie on the ground and play time

[@Tko_Seven]

So 10:04 is sidestep, not a short sidewalk? Just to confirm, command wise it one short up input, not two up input?

[@gajimaru2570]
