Tekken 7 Essentials - Kazumi Mishima

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

Some notes from community feedback: - Max damage wall combo (and after ch db+4 at the wall) is f+3~f, RSS 2, 1+2. This only works on male characters. - After the d/f+2 combo, you can get in 2 d/f+1s before the b,f+2,1,1+2 string. - Finishing the Bread and Butter combo with f+3~RSS 3 gives Kazumi some nasty okizeme setups. Recommended for stages without walls. Huge thanks to Setnomessej, Ermis-Michael Chalkiadakis and Venom Snake for pointing these out. Keep them coming!

[@ArtCalledVideoGames]

These tutorials are very good, keep them coming!

[@akinhurdle9595]

Damn I was just coming to the comments to write that lol. Nice vid

[@artupic96]

You mentioned okizeme setups with RSS3 ender, can you explain further? Very interested =D

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

iSnowflakes Finishing a combo with RSS3 leaves the opponent face down, feet away (FDFA), which is very debilitating as get up kicks are slower (both startup and recovery) and they can't spring attack. Meanwhile Kazumi is at the perfect range to whiff punish get up kicks. Here are your options: i. If the opponent presses back (the recommended option) then you can dash in to apply pressure. You don't have too much advantage after dashing, but a dash to a standing 4 will beat out jabs for a combo. Once they're kept honest, apply simple df+1 / db+4 mixups. If the opponent commits to a get up kick you will get hit for dashing in, but this is very risky. ii. If you think they'll do a get up kick, just wait and whiff punish with df+2 or 3,2 mini combo for big damage. iii. If they stay grounded 1+4. This also beats all get up kick options, both grounded side rolls as well as just standing up. If they wake up by pressing back this can be blocked in time, in which case refer to i.

[@artupic96]

Thanks for the reply! This is really helpful, cause most of the time after doing a launch combo I often drop the pressure and get on the defensive side.... Hopefully with this tip I can keep the pressure on!

[@dantesapprentice4581]

Lore theory: Heihachi saw that Kazumi had trained a tiger to an uppercut, and that's when he decided to get Kuma and teach him the Mishima style, because he refused to be outdone.

[@serenalaurence1492]

LMAO

[@jnjuice1690]

He couldn't figure out the teleport, but he did manage to make Kuma understand Japanese.

[@Br0k3nS41nt]

One of the most beautifully animated fighting game characters btw. She’s an absolute badass.

This channels' high production value and organisation is stands out so much compared to other channels.

[@LeCrocodileRose]

Thanks a lot ! We put a really big efforts into those videos indeed, so it is great when you guys notice it :)

They really wanted her to be beautiful. Her frames also look great. A+ character design.

[@iamamv1613]

@@atlante4368 but launchers are not very balanced..almost every launcher is punishable plus there’s no launch able low attack

[@oreowithurea5018]

@@iamamv1613 Because she's a poking- pressure oriented character. Normally you have to choose from either one of the options either good punishment or good poking. Example being Kazuya and Steve which are complete opposites of each other.

[@viego29]

Ever since I bought the game I spent more time customizing my characters than actually playing lol, new player btw, I couldn't decide on a main since some characters have really good customization but their gameplay isn't what I'm looking for, and some is direct opposite of that, but kazumi is kinda the middle ground, I enjoy the way she plays and she's got some pretty cool stuff on her customization! And she's the ara Ara type so... For now I main her, other characters I enjoy are Josie, Fahkumram both because I do kickboxing/muaythai, Lili... Biased on that one too, am French xD

I really want to compliment you on successfully creating a guide that is not only informative and easy to understand, but also has an amazing finish when it comes to design. Makes for an interesting watch. Good job and thank you for the video.

[@bluefiretekken4836]

This video is super great! Very high quality and work put into it! Maybe consider making one for Nina? Since she is so hard to use and for beginners hard to interrupt

[@LeCrocodileRose]

Thanks a lot ! :) Nina will come as well as the rest of the cast when she will be ready :)

[@MaulLerGamer]

Thank you, Senpai!

[@LeCrocodileRose]

It is great feels to read ! We are glad to be of help :)

Aspiring Kazumi main! Thank you for the valuable guide & tips. The guide is very easy to follow and understand.

[@rexstar7687]

This is awesome. Your guides are so fun to watch and such a piece of knowledge. All the community should be grateful with this guides. (As I am). I wish you would do all the characters essentials.

[@leksluther4417]

Best tekken channel by far. Every time there is a new essential episode, I end up wanting to play that character haha

You are my hero! finally tutorials i can get excited about!

[@LeCrocodileRose]

What a great episode ! The editing was perfect as always ! :) I wonder who did it tho... :p

[@TheFilipFonky]

Credits are at the end

[@LeCrocodileRose]

Hahah ! I know I'm the lead editor on the video ^^ That was a joke ^^

[@jmkDIARHEAjmk]

dude you are fucking killing it. keep it up! all the transitions are seamless and all the information is displayed more clearly than any other tekken videos i've watched.

[@LeCrocodileRose]

Haha, thanks a lot man ! :) I will ! I'm really glad to read that it is how you feel about it :)

[@greggeo3294]

Nice editing, the interface is clean and to the point! An idea would be to include the name of each of the top moves, next to the notation, for new players, though it's certainly not required.

[@lakesong7566]

When your video has only 6 dislikes and a thousand likes you know you're doing God's work. Keep it up man!

[@MaskedGuyCh]

I subbed for King. Will be looking forward to that.

[@genkisema]

Thank you for the video! It's really high quality and interesting to watch! I find Tekken pretty overwhelming so it's really helpful

Nice video! I like that its boiled down to the absolute basics! Im a complete nooblet so having videos like these really helps :)

[@kuramahayabusa7660]

Hey Salami I want to thank you because this video help me understand a lot more on how to fight with kazumi. Using her in rank I’m struggling against certain characters but not giving up. I started learning her 5 days ago and started practicing with her everyday a long two other characters. I subbed to you and I can’t thank you enough

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

You're very welcome

[@Neonardo05]

Came here after watching arslan ash at evo 2019..

[@Weebfox]

Would love to see King or Asuka soon. Great job with these vids, loving the series

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

Cheers! King is up next, though the essentials on Asuka will come a bit later as Fergus has already created a tutorial for her on our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZqboo18a9-ie6M

[@Weebfox]

That Blasted Salami Thanks for this heads up and glad to hear that! These videos are a great way to get to know characters quickly and clearly and it's great youre helping out the community the way you are

[@rainacide36]

Essentially Godlike! :D

[@yseran]

Only about 100hrs into my first Tekken so far and really appreciate these videos. Really helping me improve :) God knows what we would do without the great community tutorials haha.

[@Worstcaseaction]

Im about to praktice with her. The Mishimas are my favorites. Now there is one character more.

[@collegedropout9856]

subbed because of the Essentials Series. I hope to see more, esp Mishimas.

[@anappleaday1889]

The best educational tekken channel!

[@LeCrocodileRose]

[@varghest4641]

Kazumi is the most badass Mishima as far as I'm concerned. A shame she's so simple, and no actual Mishima playstyle involved

[@thefridgefreezer]

Jin players are bitches

[@ゆうや-i2r]

she was meant to be simple thats why

[@Turkiye_long-live1]

Quality Content

[@kayosensei]

Very informative video series. Do one for Law next!

[@XXXDaeDraug]

Nice video! One move that I feel should be mentioned is her d/b+2 - high crush, good range, and it tracks to Kazumi's weak side. The low follow up can be delayed - and can be mixed up with WS+1 or WS+4. It also gives advantage on CH - kinda similar to Dragunov's d+2 (but a bit weaker overall)

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

Good stuff! Thank you for this. Didn't know it catches SSR.

[@TheFilipFonky]

Very professional work as always! Could we see the results of the poll? It would be nice to know the community's interests

Awesome video, would love to see a law breakdown

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

Thank you! We will cover Law and all the cast eventually, but priority is being given to characters who don't already have a decent guide up on KZbin. If you haven't done so already, would highly recommend PepperBeef2Spicy's Law guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWXOkGttfsR_Zrc

When friends ask me how to play characters I don't know that well, I always send them to Salami's videos.

[@jabescript]

Your video guides are legendary

[@fgc_roofer_07]

I don't play kazumi but have to know whats coming at me and that blasted salami's videos already helped me out a Lot. Thx for the content dude 👍

[@Ryougi]

Little tip: if you want to chain easy tigers after a d/b+4 CH or any other move where you can do rolling tiger or d+2 when the opponent is on the ground. During 3, 2 animation hold 1 and then press 4. Or hold 4 and press 1. This is called input buffering and works well for those pesky 1+4 or 2+3 commands. Another small tip, if you're facing characters with lots of high crush moves (ie; xiaoyu) punish them with 1+2 since its a 12 frame mid punisher that knocks down and wall carries pretty well

[@dealuxe_7545]

Do more please!😍 These are high quality tekken videos and I've watched Bryan, Drag, and this, but I'm looking for other characters essesntials like Asuka or Leo etc. Keep up the good work😁

[@ueki_tk]

Nice vid man. Not sure if you missed it, but db2 is also a high crush low and good mixup tool. Think it's an underrated one, but maybe that's just me.

[@Dakson470]

Jin nah,i agree with you,i also ude it for the same reasons

[@RNS_Aurelius]

A couple things not mentioned in the video When doing f+3~f rss on block all options can be beaten by a low jab After d/f+2 you can do f+3~f rss 2 b,f+2,1,4 S! dash f+3~f rss 2 (for carry) or 3 (for oki) After f,f+4 you can do rss 2 f+3~f rss 2 b,f+2,1,4 S! dash f+3~f rss 2 (for carry) or 3 (for oki) These combos do not work on bears. Replace b,f+2,1,4 with 3,1 and it will work for bears If a rolling tiger is used after 3,1 or any move with a similar knockdown it is possible to stand up and punish it (yes the recovery is that long) It's difficult with some characters and most people don't even know this After wall splat you can do f+3~f rss 2 1+2 however this drops vs small characters like Asuka and Ling If you opponent blocks the second hit of d/b+2,3 it's not a bad idea just to continue the string as the second hit is -14 while the third is only -11. When they are conditioned to expect the third hit you can do d/b+2,3 then ws4(4)

Yo Im a Tekken scrub but I've played and done a lot of research on many other games. Just had to say this video is incredibly well made and EXACTLY the kind of information I was looking for. I haven't seen any game have guides of this calibur.

I think now in Season 3 for the SSL 2, 1 into guaranteed 1+2 a better option is U/F+2F into RSS mixup or RSS then D+2, it also deals more damage than 1+2

I bought myself a new stick recently as I wanted to transition from being a lifelong pad player. I got into Tekken from Tekken 4 but I was just a button masher at the start and used to be until just recently. Kazumi is really great and not to mention fun for learning Tekken from the ground up. I’ve been religiously maining Steve but alas he’s too hard for a beginner like me.

[@DieSpastisTV]

At the wall i always go for a u/f+3,4,1 in to a guaranteed d+2. But note that it only works when the wallsplat was triggered close to the wall (For which d/f+1+2 works the best)

[@sa786ism]

You Are The Best Tekken Teacher

[@venomsnake7349]

Krish Bhalla I thought that stage is already in tk7

[@LeCrocodileRose]

It is, but only accessible in the story mode, this mod makes it accessible everywhere ;)

[@shenelljohnson74]

Le Crocodile Rose wait, help me out here but what the difference between the two, is it because this one have a statue and the other one doesn't have one, (Confused)😧😦

[@LeCrocodileRose]

There is no difference that I'm aware of, the only thing that the mod changes is that you can play the map in a match or training mode, it's a classic stage mod actually. It replaces the Mishima Dojo stage in the stage list.

[@crosleybendix97]

A Claudio guide would be pretty cool.
