Tekken 8 | 5 Tips To Improve Your Rushdown With Kazuya

[@floridaman7206]

On the topic of wavedash pressure, I think that’s useful only after purple ranks. Lower than that I’ve noticed people will always mash on wakeup or if you pause the pressure at all in their face. For the lower ranks I recommend simplifying the strategy and just try to stay as plus as possible and frame trap

[@SnowflakeSSQ]

True, I'm stuck in Garyu and they never respect your wavedash

[@tongpoo8985]

You just have to condition them. If you move scary enough and they get punished for mashing enough they'll respect it. Kinda hard to condition people in low ranks in only 2 or 3 games 😒 its possible though

[@alexanderbruce8950]

@@tongpoo8985 gotta electric in neutral and use pedal oki first for sure

[@SolusFather]

You don't have to do many wavedash, if they're mashing, just do enough to close the distance and follow up with a fast move like ff2 to keep them from mashing. That will condition them to respect you on wakeup

[@fz7788]

Use your your ws4 as a poke that forces people to respect it

Very well thought out video and neatly edited. I initially saw this videoa thumbnail and thought it would be kind of mediocre at best advice, but turned out to be very pleasantly surprised. It presents the tips in a very easy to follow manner while also explaining the thought process on why these techniques work and how they’re executed properly. Keep up the good work man you earned yourself a sub! ❤

[@SolusFather]

Appreciate that bro, gotta work on my thumbnails 😅 Glad you found it useful

[@tableprinterdoor]

very helpful, in tekken 7 I used to play Kazuya in a very turtle way and that doesn't work anymore so thank you bro

[@SolusFather]

Glad I could help

[@marbleeuw4284]

Defensive kazuya works, but it’s very hard. Might aswell play aggressive because it requires less work

[@SolusFather]

@@marbleeuw4284 Playing aggressive with kazuya requires more work

[@le_i_grec]

Your content is too much underrated, you have a great execution on ps5 pad I have some questions to ask : • Do you often change the d-pad rubber playing Mishimas ? • How do you manage to execute fast Wavedash on both sides ? Do you rather roll your thumb or do you execute it moving your thumb trapezium ? • Can give us your Tekken ID ? besides the fact that you have a great execution your way of playing Mishima is quite optimal and i want to watch some of your games and take notes from these

[@SolusFather]

Nah I keep the same dpad, I usually lubricate the dpad with oil to reduce the friction, it makes it a bit easier I tend to use the tip of my thumb when wavedashing and pretty much glide it through my dpad, same with ewgf. But I subconsciously switch methods dynamically And this is my Tekken ID - 4dfEHyj4jerG

[@itach1freak]

This was such a beautiful guide. It was exactly what I needed to see to connect the dots in what I’ve noticed I’m not quite applying correctly. After 150 hours or so with kaz, I feel like I’m pretty proficient once I get a vortex going but struggle in keeping up pressure once it’s over. The advice on ws4 was particularly helpful cause that’s a move I’ve completely ignored/neglected.

[@SolusFather]

Thanks bro, I hope you’ll find it useful

[@Phronesis59]

Same, I have neglected ws4 and df4 a lot. 😅

[@gold3n337]

Nah this video had really great tips I was struggling on offense with Kaz ngl

[@LukzAraujo]

I am stuck on blue ranks and i can see myself aplying your tips and improving. Thank you for you time and dedication for this vídeo

[@symdota]

I dont know if people know this but with wavedashing you can input one forward after the wavedash to get your 2/3 and also doing a wavedash into ws2 is a bit hard to execute, i didnt know this until my friend mentioned this to me, but really appreciate the video. i struggled a lot with knowing when to wavedash in since people tend to mash into my wavedash or even trying to close the gap so i gave up on that and also trying to understand when i can fit in a hellsweep after. often times enemies tend to wake up kick me and i end up getting hit by it a lot and dont know if its because im playing way too aggressive or i should wait for them to get up

[@purimarstarksa1675]

thanks brother because of you my kazuya got fixed and i got to tekken king now.

[@SolusFather]

Awesome bro congrats on that

[@CarlosAfraka]

Really great guide, simple explanation yet very helpful. Wish I could wavedash like that on series x pad

[@mikearsen4580]

When I wavedash in their face they just launch me lol

[@daro375]

Because you don't make them respect your options. Use ff4 if you know they will interrupt you for a launch or do your mixup with immediate timing.

[@mrlazy2343]

Coz your wavu is damn slow your ewgf determines how God you are and wavu makes them think I don't wanna get wrecked that's fear -Batman

[@CMR-j8n]

Can't wait to get good with kaz so I can take out some serious revenge.

Awesome video thx bro

[@matthewdecker9282]

Watching this, your wavedash is incredible. I've played against Kazuyas who do all of these things, and always wanted to learn how. now all of it makes more sense but in order to reach this level i have to improve my wavedash first. I play on a stick, and my wavedash is okay on right side, and very inconsistent on left side; not to mention much slower compared to yours. Any ideas on how to train to improve it?

[@SolusFather]

It’s honestly just about getting the reps in, just gotta keep practicing it until you get comfortable

[@superblack898]

Careful with throwing out mix ups every time it’s your turn during poking. The moves are 20 frames to come out and linear as shit

[@SolusFather]

Don’t do it everytime

[@zdarova7]

Great video

[@cptmetadata2627]

Great tips with proper explaination! Thank you!

[@Shedrick_Goldsmith]

I lose so much with Kazuya on ranked. And this ain't going to help cause I'm trash, but thanks. Can't even consistently wavedash yet

[@SolusFather]

Once you get over that hurdle you’ll be straight, keep it up and lock in

Wavu n ewgf is best coz we controller players can't do wavu wavu like hitbox players wavu is the key move for kazuya coz we can do 50 50 more easily

Any tips on wave dashing on keyboard? I find it pretty difficult to do but switching to stick seems daunting to me.

[@itach1freak]

I would watch a guide on how to wave dash with a lever-less controller. They should be very similar. You may have to re-map some of your buttons for optimization.

[@StarbucksBear17]

Just picked up Kazuya a couple weeks ago, got him at purple ranks so far. This is really what I needed to implement to the higher rank players as I progress Kaz. Thank you! Awesome vid

[@Tristan02539]

2:35 are you using df4 or ws4 to poke there?

[@SolusFather]

Df4

[@asapyami]

What was the combo at 3:01 ?

[@Servalt77]

i don't understand the terms you're using like ch, ws 😢

[@subobruskrt]

Idl ch but ws is while standing

Ch = counterhit Ws = while standing

I expect you play with a stick? I never see anyone do really good Mishima movement with a controller, is it expected?

Duelist17 is one of the top kazuyas in the world and plays with a ps5 controller check his videos

Mishimas feel way better on stick or hitbox. They just don't feel good to play on pad imo. But def possible
