Tekken 7 - DamagermanY Ryan Hart vs Rip Analysis

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

A deep dive into the FT10 between Ryan Hart and Rip at DamagermanY. We examine their contrasting playstyles, the adaptations they made throughout the set, the Kazuya vs Law match-up, as well as some fighting game theory to tie it all together. Since this is the first episode from an upcoming Post-Match Analysis series, your feedback would be highly appreciated since we’re still working on the format. Cheers!

[@NeilMacay]

I would really like to see one of these done for the two FT5s of Super Akouma Vs Baxi at Headstompers.

[@DonJuanDude]

Would love to see a lil majin vs jdcr at evo match analysis. Keep up the great work Mr Salami

[@djbenjaminjay1984]

As usual your videos are second to none. This is the discovery channel for Tekken! Namco should be rewarding you handsomely!!

[@takeOnlyGreatness]

I'm surprised you didn't mention RIP not side stepping to Kazuyas weakside through out the FT10. Maybe that wasn't terribly important? Great vid though, love the content I think this will be an interesting series.

[@MrOzzification]

I think it would be great to cover past high profile matches to really help others to get into the mindset of pro players & their decision making. Some examples I think lots of people would like to see are: Knee VS JDCR [Rev Major 2017] Qudans VS SAINT [TWT Finals 2017] Noroma VS JDCR [Korea Masters 2017] Kagemaru's comeback at MASTERCUP 2017 lil Majin VS JDCR [EVO 2018] Knee VS Qudans [Tokyo Masters 2018 GF] Rangchu VS Qudans [TWT Finals 2018] AK VS Arslan Ash [Evo Japan 2019] Super Akuoma VS CBM [The Mixup 2019] It would also be interesting to cover really unexpected upsets & how the perceived underdog was able to beat a well established player. Such as how Tanukana beat Saint at Beast Arena Hong Kong, or Speedkicks beating JDCR at SCR, Devilkazuya VS Qudans, Gajda VS Qudans or Nindo VS LowHigh

[@poultriarchy]

Reactive keep-out > proactive rushdown Proactive rushdown > predictive baiting Predictive baiting > reactive keep-out This RPS figure might be the most important theory I’ve ever seen relating to fighting games. Stunned it weasled it’s way into a video it wasn’t the center of. Fantastic concept, TBS, and brilliant analysis overall.

[@TheDocbach]

Its really not that new of a concept. It is basically just the old school boxing triangle theory translated for fighting game players. Even then, it is just a theory and it does not guarantee that you win every situation you encounter just because your play style should hold the advantage.

[@Evilj82]

I think your nouns are correct but your adjectives are wrong and meant to say predictive keepout>pro active rushdown, reactive baiting>predictive keepout, , proactive rushdown> reactive baiting.

[@CA_Shake]

I normally find analysis videos to be really boring, but the fact that you showed specific examples of your points by using visuals not only in the set, but with your own recordings made it really entertaining to watch, and each point was very clear. Great video!

[@StarvEgoFeedSoul]

indeed wow, so much work here, BRING IN THE SUBSSSSSSSSS !!!

[@ShaunInce123]

I was not expecting this. But I'm glad you did an analysis on it.

[@franckjoseph4806]

Shaun N Ince me too i didn’t know ryan plays very well with kazuya but agressively.

[@sT4RduZZt]

6:26 "I've won more tournaments than you will ever enter" is still one of my favourite FGC insults.

[@urmama54]

mah fav whiff punish lul

[@mthsdcs]

"I've forgotten more about games than you'll ever know" was also a great follow up

[@TK_Tazzkooler]

math is mathing 😭😭😇

[@Xauching]

this was a beautiful analysis however not MLA format gonna have to dock 20 points

[@muto4467]

4:57 d/b3, d/b3, d/b3, d/b3.. "Tekken God mixups, baby" LOL

[@jackmate512]

The no mixup mixup

[@Jirudoggu]

Mixup of a mixup

[@thirstyfajita4115]

Jackmate 1 the best kind of mixup

[@TehLeico]

As always, great job on making this video, you became an extremely high quality Tekken content creator, keep up the good work.

[@Jose-xm3tq]

He Played Kazuya Very patiently in this match, something RIP did not expect. Also I dont Believe RIP did his Homework on this match up

[@chiefchilly1]

I dont think Rip ever does homework

[@skyMcWeeds]

yeah RIP kind of just wings it every match he's faced.

[@TheJbrown60]

Accordin to aris he didnt

[@MrOzzification]

RIP even mentioned in the post-match interview that he kinda just winged it. He said he only plays for fun these days & didn't care if he won or lost, but I think its a tad disrespectful to your opponent & to spectators when you agree to a special ft10 exhibition match & everyone wants to see an exciting match where both players are giving their best. Rip can do whatever he wants but I think he should've put in some more effort since the whole point of the grudge match was to pretty much to put on a show for the fans.

[@Jose-xm3tq]

@@MrOzzification Oh ya definitely... You would assume so right? Ga daamit RIP

[@perkedel7558]

7:45 i still cant believe the Mr Naps transformation throughout the years lol

[@tavianfloyd6589]

They need to pay you to make documentaries on this stuff. I'd literally go watch your analysis in a theater and I love how you track player journeys.

[@tkraid2575]

The idea for a series like this is good timing for the upcoming tekken tournaments. Looking forward to future post-match analysis. It's good study material for beginners and veterans alike.

[@TreWillz]

That intro was the best thing I have seen today.

[@Aleebi]

This was an incredibly insightful video that explains all the mechanics and neutral/mindgame microsituations I love so much about this game. Your explanations behind Rip and Ryan Hart's adaptations made it crystal clear and I learned a lot more than I when I first watched the set. Thank you for this. Your videos are incredibly high quality and I can't be more appreciative that we have channels like yours in an era where Tekken 7 still doesn't have a fucking tutorial lol. Keep it coming Salami!

[@AndyMacster]

This taught me so much and I didn't even know class was in session. Love it! This is yet again another roaring success from this channel, thank you. (Great work sneaking Steve in there. The comment on his low parry gameplan actually shed light on a bunch of stuff for me)

[@drkcrstl]

Tip TOP choice of music. Very immersive

[@Sorcerollo]

The way you explain the games rock paper scissors analogy is one of the most helpful things I've heard learning this game by far

[@newkeyo]

This is why I love tekken so much my uncle and his son are law players and they both played drastically differently. A lot of the tendencies and analyzation was right on the money. This was such a unexpected treat to watch and I'm so happy you made it. I needed this reminder of how important fundamentals are, thank you

[@duckyedits6753]

at first i was apprehensive to click on this cuz i expected just a video of the set with basic commentary over it, but the amount of effort put into the editing and analysis blew my expectations out of the water 👌

[@TheSikThSenSE]

As someone that was well versed in that London Arcade scene many, many years the mere mention of Martin (Cobra Commander) made me very nostilgic. No amount of online can ever replace what the arcades had. It's only within the last year that my Tekken Playing has come into my own, and I thank that scene and its many fighters (Cobra, Starscream, Dinosaur, Ryan Hart, Darkstep, King jae, Luna, Cem, Inti and more) for showing me the game in its truest form. I got battered for years playing at that level, but it's all worthwhile experience that has made me ultimately better at the game. Anyway, another superb video! Keep up the good work! :)

[@aljefferson9158]

Man! Arya’s voice is so satisfying to hear! And the work in all of the videos you guys make is so deep, so serious and so so Good! I love it! Also... I know Rip didn’t really train for that set but but Ryan is another beast man. EU is the best!

[@itsloosey]

This was deff one of the best Tekken videos I have seen in a LONG time. I watched your tutorial videos to better understand the game but this is just a whole new level of insight and information. I dont see alot of match breakdowns done as well as this so I appreciate this video way more than I thought I would. It helps me better understand play styles and what felt like match objectives from 2 different players with wild crazy different play styles. Thanks for the video and I dont know why I wasnt subbed before but I am now.

[@EdmundSia]

I really love how you gave a background of the players, fighting styles, etc. I'm not very knowledgeable in terms of playing tekken so it really adds a lot to the match for me; kind of like how a chess game analysis starts with a little backstory. Love the vid man i hope you do more of these

[@renzoborg]

This was brilliant on all accounts. I hope you do this more often with high profile tournament matches since it's extremely informative. Thank you and amazing job!

[@nightcat9587]

This video was just amazing, keep it up great job

[@CoviYello]

This is one of the best match analysis' I have ever seen.

[@crossrose4504]

This was gold! Very detailed! Keep it up guys!

[@CMVexed]

These dives into fighting game theory are GOLDEN. Do please explore more concepts such as the playstyle RPS and the value of low parry.

[@MackCasual]

This is pretty dope and educational for how tekken works as a fighting game. Can’t wait to see more throughout the TWT!

[@maxime9211]

The Blasted Salami you are so good at editing/speech, keep it up, love from France

[@easygoingdude9990]

Brilliant idea! Things happen so fast in this game that it's really hard to pick up on the nuances and learn. This is extremely helpful 🙏

[@GreedySupperFast]

Can't wait to watch every one of these match analyses, super insightful

[@mitcho.307]

Wow my friend this is top notch! Are you a professional analyst or something?! And that intro was magical. Even as a Law player (he is Tekken for me) and all tricks are exposed due to this I appreciate everything. Well done!

[@Cherry91]

Thanks for this analysis. It was an amazing match. It's really helpful to watch experienced players face off.

[@donlee_ohhh]

The analysis: very well done. The match: poor. RIP just went for the trip (you'll hear that from RIP when listening to his post match interview). He never wanted the match to begin with and as Suiken (one of RIP's friends) said RIP didn't prepare for the match. From this analysis you can see the work Ryan put in. Ryan deserved better from RIP. Also, the FGC deserved better from RIP. Due to Ryan having so many titles under his belt many more people were going to see the match & that could get more people interested in Tekken & the Tekken community. Close hard fought matches would have left viewers with a much better impression than whatever we got out of this matchup.

[@cascade1400]

U never disappoint Salami! Love your new series!!

[@thegreekfiles]

Great editing and informative too. Very nice video amigo

[@HouseMusicNinja]

Very good breakdown on both players without any kind of personal bias. This was great. Taught me a lot to apply to my game too. Awesome as always BlastedSalami. 14:02-14:22 was really insightful.

[@kylefields3951]

Damn, small world. Seen you in Taylor's comment section. Who do you main? >.> I play Steve

[@HouseMusicNinja]

@@kylefields3951 Hahaha small world indeed. I play Lars, and Lee. Steve huh? Good choice mate. His CH game and pokes are something for everyone to dread.

[@kylefields3951]

@@HouseMusicNinja That's sick, Lars and Lee are great characters. Any character with a slide mixup is automatically way more fun to play.

[@HouseMusicNinja]

@@kylefields3951 Much appreciated fam. Yeah I've tried the entire cast just to get a feel for who's who, but Lars and Lee are the ones where I can play extremely flexible between mix ups, block punishment and safe pokes. There are very few characters where I like their entire moveset but it's just so for those two.

[@GORO911]

man i enjoyed watching this video more than i enjoyed the FT10 set itself. great editing and analysis

Such a beautiful analysis and portrait of the two players. Thanks a lot, looking forward to the next one!

[@equemortem]

SUCH a cool new type of video! Amazing :^D

[@Pollokyn]

You forgot one key point, RiP was sidestepping right all the time, Kazuya weakness is left sidestep, that was a very rookie mistake.

Amazing idea, this will encourage more players to try tournaments.

[@kemuelsantoro921]

Wow I really liked it! This video analysis is just amazing! Thank you for your hard work :)

This is a great channel, I think you should do more player analyses , maybe explain why knee is so good , or why Chanel gets away being so flamboyant or how Aslarn Ash got to be world champ ?

[@ashtweth]

Probably be one of the most viewed Law videos on YT if this channel did a complete break down of law video, yep looks like Ryan had a TEAM, Rip did not prepare...one treated it like a tournament , the other like an online match. Good Analysis. One Day All law players hope to see this channel include him in the videos . Thank you for the video.

[@countdookie6987]

7:44 such a godlike shot

[@luciferverone]

RIP didnt sidestep at all in this match. Even TMM analysed this match and pointed out RIP's lack of sidestepping.

[@Luminethereploid]

That's because he chose to use his magic 4 as a response to Kazuya wavedash mixups.(something TMM did not catch on to) It did work for a while, forced Ryan to change his approach. You can say that it's incredibly risky and yeah, Ryan started baiting whiffs, but sidesteps against s2 Kazuya are just as risky - slightest mistiming in your step and have an EWGF in ur face sir.

[@luciferverone]

@@Luminethereploid Thats literally no excuse. You have to sidestep or duck, and Ryan was not in RIPS face pressuring him. RIP should have sidestepped.

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

Ryan mostly played patiently throughout the set, getting most of his damage off punishment. Generally when he went on the offense it was either off of okizeme setups or constantly re-orienting with wavedash. While Rip could definitely have stepped more (and to the left instead of the right), I think his bigger mistake was not using 3+4, 4 effectively. Kazuya's moves generally have horrible recovery on whiff, so had Rip played more aggressively from the start and pressured Ryan into playing keep-out, he could have set up easy whiff-punish opportunities. That might have actually been the biggest factor in this set; Ryan and Rip are both old-school players relying on legacy skill, and while Kazuya has definitely seen some changes over the years, his fundamental gameplan remains basically the same. Law on the other hand is a pretty different character in T7 thanks to how amazing 3+4, 4 is - something that Rip still hasn't fully integrated into his game.
