Tekken 8 Frame Traps: The Complete Guide

[@zangana3052]

This video is everything everyone needs. Just to add my two cents, Yoshi's flash variations all come out one frame slower if in crouch, also Xiaoyu's b1 is 8~13 depending on range.

[@PhiDX]

Amazing detail thank you!!

Hey man, loving the content. As a nearly 40 year old with a lot of responsibilities, I don't have a lot of time to play these days. Your content has really helped me maximize the 30-40 minutes I get here and there in practice mode to actually learn more about the game. Keep up the excellent work!

[@DragonflySwamp]

This is probably one of the most helpful videos any new FG player could want. Great work.

9:00 Phi stopping mid sentence had me rollin. For a moment there he questioned everything he knew about Tekken up to that point🤣

[@robertabongan246]

This is the only lecture I've ever given 100% of my attention. Never been this focused. I'm tryna get that Tekken PhiHD and graduate from blue rank. Also, you're so close to 100k sub. Congrats in advance!!!

This is awesome! Tekken 8 is my very first fighting game and I managed to hit Mighty Ruler today because of your guides. You have really made this game worth playing, thank you so much! ❤

[@Gerlae81]

I am very impressed with the level of detail in these PhidX videos. It's remind me of the old Tekken Zaibatsu site back in college. Where you got most of the tech that wasn't common knowledge... I enjoyed the content and find it super helpful. I have played every Tekken Game from T1 to T8... I like the nuance in seeing the concept playing out and notes to backup the lesson... Keep doing your thing young man... I am a Paul, Mardux main. I think this video and other have helped more than just notes on a web page...

These are the videos I watch from Phidx, most the time I don’t particularly want to watch him but if I see anything frame traps, Mix ups or specific character videos are what I look for and I’m here for it. Best thing about this channel is “I’m not there yet but I’m going to save the video for when this is troubling me” which is the beauty of Tekken, work on things in your own time and stop overloading yourself!

[@PhiDX]

What do you mean you don't want to watch me Lmfao

[@GrunglerFL]

you've been my favorite Tekken teacher for a while now, but as a Jin player who started right at the end of 7, I'm really glad you used him as an example for most of this video. I have a bad habit of overcomplicating my game, so you breaking him down to a few frame traps off of key moves is going to help me a ton. much love, Phi!

[@Nova_Afterglow]

ive been doin some level 3 into level 1 for a while now, but didnt have the terminology for it! i saw that k-wiss playing victor was going into perfumer after wr2 for the mix up. ive been doing that, and after a while, some ppl will start pressing buttons to stop perfumer. well this is when i can do my level 1 and light them the hell up! i didnt understand the mind game of what i was doing per say, just that it was an effective strat. thanks again for helping me internalize these ideas better!

[@hamhamhamham.]

I've been slowly learning frame data and frame traps but this video was what made things start to completely kick for me. Spent a few hours in practice mode with the settings you showed; now doing and feeling a lot better in my matches THANKS!!!

[@Tuuubesh0w]

Wow, I can't believe I didn't know about the frames of parries/reversals, armor/burst, and RAs before now. That's so incredibly useful!! Thank you so much!

[@jaymillerreal]

You're always saying to comment but I almost never do. Hit Raijin today, don't really know anyone else who plays the game and am only just starting to go to locals and you've been my primary resource for doing anything in this game. So thanks a ton man.

[@Polyrhythmic9-1]

THIS is the guide I’ve been waiting for. Thank you

[@Sarconick]

Very nice video. What helped me the most was the sites at the end. I kind of knew what my traps were from other guides/docs but, testing it on my own after seeing the frame data myself, helped me understand on a deeper level which will be my go-tos and which are more situational. Can't wait to test it out in some ranked matches. Keep doing these videos I've been improving a lot from them, see you on stream.

[@ssgcheddar5785]

I love this! You have the most intuitive analysis I have ever seen in Tekken! Not only do I get a nice spreadsheet, I get an example in training THEN real match use of what you just explained! This is golden even with me being almost to Bushin! Best Tekken Tutorials EVER 😂

[@donaldreid4193]

Bro I swear you are on some type of prophetic wave or something. I am not the only person who has noticed this as many others have said this so far but every time I come to a ceiling in my tekken as (not a newbie but finally trying to get good after years of dabbling and putting it down before I got any real skills) you come out with a video with the exact knowledge I need to break the ceiling. 🙏🏽

Bro, there's no way you made this video this week lol. I was just explaining the speed hierarchy of attacks to a newer player at locals yesterday. We went over how fast movement is, basic frame advantage, and how PCs and parrys work, etc.

Man your videos really help me out. I haven't played Tekken since Tekken 2. In my buddy's garage, catching a buzz. Tekken 8 just feels so good. Bought myself a fight stick for Street fighter 6 and I am having the best time in Tekken 8 with it. Again, great tips!.

i guess i should have figured it would only be a matter of time before i learned how to hit confirm. the random block function is wild for letting you practice that reaction so easily. im new to tekken. i made it to purple, but have had no thoughts of making blue ranks any time soon. if you keep these videos up tho, its gonna happen sooner than later. thanks WhisDX!

[@EnvyMizuhashi]

Your way of explaining frame advantage is way better and honestly more universal. If you're +3 on block, your next interaction comes out 3 frames _sooner_ than the opponent's.

[@seltic2007]

This filled out questions I had about this concept however the problem I face now is when fighting a fresh opponent I have no idea when they are actively playing the mind games with me or when they are just snorting glue and doing their own thing completely ignoring what’s going on in game.

[@PhiDX]

Yes, hence do the solid option (layer 1) mixed with nothing. Very hard to beat

[@megastrong3697]

PhiDX the goat

[@prosketch95]

Good stuff, these tips helped me break into purple ranks

[@ykattt99]

Thx PhiDX!

[@sebbbi2]

Jack’s main low is i12 db1. He can spam it more, because opponent’s hopkick loses to it already in +4 situation. It is also so fast that in -1 situation is still trades with most fast mids (i13). Which is great against mashers. It’s one of the best low pokes in the game. Most other characters have to condition their opponent first not to press before they can start using their slow lows.

[@Anthony-pi6pf]

Just realized I wasn’t subbed even though your videos have been helping me out for months now. I rectified that. Thank you very much sir.

Istg Phidx I love what you’re doing and you helped my gameplay out a lot and improved my aggression on offense but holy shit I’m still HARDSTUCK going in and out of the red ranks due to the 50/50s and complete mashfest down there.. I’ve never been good with dealing with spam and mash pressure. Any tips on how to fix that?

[@SynfulDeity]

Like it gets so bad they mash me out of SSR PC everything.. I feel like my defensive options are completely useless so I have to guess if they going for a launcher or a low

[@PhiDX]

Stand Block survive then frame trap them

[@ypstoic]

After I got to Tekken Emperor and almost about to be Tekken God, I took a break because I felt that I wasn’t quite there yet in terms of knowledge and you’re videos are a big help right now 📝

[@UltimateBallaPOM]

Honourable. There is nothing wrong leveling up though. Once everyone gets where they should be, you would have fallen(or stayed) at the rank you belong. + You could have played other characters too.

[@ShingoKhan]

❤ Loved this video, I main Zafina and after the patch notes came, I'm motivated to get better at the game.

[@sebbbi2]

One thing about mental frame advantage and mixups with high string enders. Sometimes I duck string high ender (launch punish) and opponent next time doesn’t finish the string but hopkicks instead. And I block the hopkick and punish. String ender is much faster than stopping the string + doing hopkick. You can’t mix like that. Opponent will duck quickly and return to standing block. If your opponent respects your mental frames, then you need a full mixup. Both low and mid after it. The high ender is not part of that mixup.

[@sebbbi2]

In some cases there’s also option selects for high enders. For example opponent can use a high crush move to beat the high and also counterhit your mental frame mixup at the same time. You can beat that option select with hopkick or low parry or possibly step or backdash. There’s always layers.
