Tekken 7: Tips for BEGINNERS!

[@kakashi338]

Ive been playing fighting games my whole life but only recently have i learned to properly play tekken n this helps a lot

[@suibora]

I dont believe you. If you've been playing for you whole life then you should've already known most, if not all of this stuff. It's not unique to tekken but in essentially every fighting game

[@kakashi338]

@@suibora Dawg i posted a month ago n do you not realize this game doesnt play the same as every other fighting game. Tekken n mvc dont play the same at all for instance.

[@suibora]

I dont know much about mvc but things like frames knowledge, punishments and neutral are ubiquitous in fighting games. But then again I really only played guilty gear xrd and have a few hours on tekken so what do i know

[@karanshukla6564]

How much time it took you to learn tekken 7? Last time i played it was in 2002 tekken 3 in arcade.

[@Polo_7822]

@@suibora nah I believe him...I’m a mk and injustice player for years and I just tried tekken and I was struggling a lot, I’m so used to fighting games with combo strings into special moves that it was bit hard to adjust to normal combo strings into screw attacks and wall splat enders... I understand frame data like the top of my head, but the corner directional inputs and while standing were a struggle in game for a while, I’ve been playing tekken 7 for nearly 5 months now and I still can’t do a back dash cancel or wave dash properly in a match.

[@lunarsorrow6966]

Fun fact for all upcoming Kazuya mains: the electric god fist and wind god fist have the same command. The difference is the electric god fist is a just frame move (you need to use the final directional input and the button on the same frame) and it does more damage.

I am new to Tekken 7, just picked it up a week ago, previously played up to Tekken 5, and never played online against players around the world. I primarily play treasure room but have played around 12 online ranked matches. Currently on a 6 game win streak, and won 9 games in total. These helpful videos from yourself and other content creators were invaluable.

Excellent guide! Just started playing, and been having a hard time understanding how to play. Thank you so so much for using simple language!

[@smokeandmaintain1]

After watching this and that clip of spero gin in that tekken documentary I realize I should just have a notebook full of notes beside me when i play lol

[@Agent.--.007]

I was stuck at green ranks at first. Then i started learnings punishes for 14f and higher moves of common characters that I encountered. And other common moves used by players like bryan’s hatchet kick. Now i am at vindicator and climbing. Frame data really helps cuz every player at these ranks use 14 15 or higher frame moves and they dont even care.

[@mgehad]

In my opinion this is the most important content for anyone who wants to learn how to play tekken. Personally I didn't know what to do beyond the basics till I watched this.

[@TeufelsSaaT2]

watched a couple of beginner guides but ether i get people who tell me 5min. what a Grab is and how to counter it...... or people who talk about Frames like 90% of the video and i didnt even know what they talk about..... amazing Video! hopefully i can get to a green rank now OMEGALUL!

[@AndyMan-mr1hy]

All players should watch this....because we A) forget B) get into bad habits C) are always learning and sometimes miss the obvious

[@ezazahamed3649]

And i started tekken this week as a complete rookie and somehow picked jin i think he is strong and looks very cool but then i found out his problem about wavedash wavedash cancel ewhf spacing zen cdk cancel etc then again i believe picking a hard character is quite rewarding at the long run as after a certain rank gimmicks doesnt work at all unless opponent doesnt know the match up which is why people change mains after a certain rank but in my opinion sticking to a character is staple no matter how hard he is

[@masterofnone1481]

Nico Taborda you play your character

[@VinitKundu]

mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn such a detailed guide it is.

[@ovstorm1163]

Another tip for beginners. If you are using a controller with shapes use Square, Square, Medium punch. This is a good mixup because if the opposing player blocks your early punches or ducks you still have advantage on shield and now you can punish with medium punch. That’s also easy because medium punch is just square plus right and down all at the same time. (at least for the controller I’m using) Trust me it sounds more complex than it is and it can defeat the majority of button mashers. On top of that you can mix in some grabs which are the top button and the button to the right at the same time! You also have another grab using the opposite buttons! I don’t know how it exactly works on other controllers but I know that you can get the same effect!

[@ovstorm1163]

Square is light punch on my controller. From what I can tell it is always plus on block. If you don’t know what that means watch the video.

[@khalidread5752]

Been playing this game for a week now and I picked yoshimitsu as my guy. Yea I know he is advanced or whatever I did get my ass handed to me first 3 days but now I’m finally racking up some wins .

[@musicmania6958]

U r making it more complicated with so many technical details .. My tip choose ur character then learn all the moves in practice mode.. And yeah about punish and combos u can learn these things by playing against cpu or real players Not by knowing numbers .. Gud day

[@fxlja]

It isn't overly technical though. Basic Tekken players may not know frame data but they do know by visual cues which moves "look" unsafe and which ones are not by a hard guess. That can be a starting point. And by learning a character's every move, careful. It can very well backfire. One character alone has a massive move list with the shortest of them being Claudio at 60+ moves. By learning all of them in one go, you can get a hard time of deciding when to use which moves, because all moves are situational.

[@theleonutzo7810]

No cap my house burned down. Had no twkken for like 2 yrs. Watched Hella KZbin tourneys and vids like this. Came back on tekken 7 all my mains pretty much Yakusa now. My Zafina off the chain after watching um Ash's tutorial. Eye was struggling before that

[@craftsmenMC]

I love fighting games. They’re one of my two favorite genres alongside 4x games. But I frankly can never wrap my head around “frame data”. Whenever people talk about it all I hear is “you need to learn every single character to be even remotely good at the game.” I reaaally want to get into Tekken 7. But with how much even beginner guides are telling me to do and the abundance of character guides that just say “memorize half of these 60 or more moves” is really putting me off.

[@bilbebop3693]

I find that Tekken is easy to play but so hard to master.

[@jettmanas]

Got the game a few weeks ago- I tried Punishment Training once, but don't know the frame data for moves of the cast. Not sure what to punish with. Maybe just use a jab or check a character guide for moves to use in general. Watched a tourney once, but am not sure of frame data due to so many matchups. I wonder how you not fall for frame traps? Not in the Reddit, but am in the Zaibatsu Discord. Maybe I should try your Discord though. Thanks. Good vid.

[@Edge9404]

The game tells you your punishers in the punishment training. Just pick the easy option.

[@jettmanas]

@@Edge9404 Thanks. Noticed that around 3 months back or so. Easy & quick sounds good. There are so many moves, that certain ones like like they're more frames visually.

[@dandelion44444]

I started with Yoshimitsu Well still stuck in practice tool

[@optvlogzz5842]

Another lesson for beginners is to know the moves of every character, it's for the most you memorize it then know what attack he/she gonna use

[@yassinejouirane5718]

I want to start and stick with steve

[@IamLmoon]

When you pick a character, stay away from gimmicky characters, you’ll reach to a level where you realize that you spent 100 hour into the game without learning the fundamentals. You’ll suck and it will be so hard to break those nasty habits, my advice if you want to be good at tekken, stay away from every character that has snake edge type of moves, stay away from every character that has so much panic attacks, Aka law ( even though he’s a great character ), and every character that has unorthodox style ( eddy ). Pick a character that plays honest tekken, you’ll struggle against people who use gimmicks, but eventually you’ll develop great defense, you’ll duck highs, you’ll punish, and low parry their lows. You’ll be a good player, and they will be stuck at green ranks forever.

[@GatleySkateKrew12]

I've came over from Dead or Alive, so punishing is different e.g throws and holds

[@chrislabedzski9076]

The Mishima's are the easiest characters to start with, plus, you don't need combos to win,, use pokes with all the characters because that's the easiest way to win, also if you want to have fun, just stay at silver ranks and blue ranks instead,, that way , you won't be pummeled to death at much higher ranks especially if they keep doing combos that takes most of your health off,,,,, best just to stay at lower ranks so you can win battles more easier and more fun

[@viego29]

I don't know the combos on Tekken 7, it's pretty hard to do, but I like to keep my space, and th amount of whiffs and blocks I can punish is pretty great, I don't win a lot of fight because I don't know which attack to use tho xD I play kazumi and I usually only do her 112 because her forward down 1 for me is kinda inconsistent with a keyboard cause it would throw jabs, or maybe it's just because I'm bad at execution lol, and people would find out that I'm really bad at countering throws and would spam it on me... To this day I don't know how to counter throws, only been playing for a week now

[@kevinthegamer2499]

To me fighting game is about timing , counters, sidesteps, slow, fast, mid, high, low attacks. i wish there was mode were there is no high air combos or damage on those would be very low.

Simi Enn well in real martial arts a „Dan“ is a word used to define your black belt rank. „Kyu“ are the belt ranks under the black belt. It’s similar in Tekken. When u start playing ranked ur a beginner, then ur getting into the kyu ranks, after kyu ranks come Dan Ranks, etc.

[@KeithJamesChua]

It honestly isn't that hard compared to some other bf inputs. It's significantly easier than doing something like Devil Jin's laser scraper after a screw. You just have to practice timing your dash after the screw. It seems to me the biggest problem is that people don't seem to dash fast enough to get close to input the bf2, 1, 1+2. Once you know the timing to buffer your dash, it's actually really easy and consistent

this is good information but man talking about frame data basically immediately, a lot of people I think are about to stand up and walk away instantly. there's gotta be better ways to talk about this for absolute beginners like just "learn which moves are fast and which are slow. worry about frames later" like you can't be looking up tables of frame data before you even have a couple moves input memorized
