I just uploaded a new combo video where i showcased them from ALL of Hwoarang's launchers! Also input notations are included! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKbQfJqPnairpa8

Having instant rematch is just a god tier quality of life upgrade

[@EMPERORAFRO]

sf6 did the same shit i was hoping tekken would to! LETS GOO!

[@redfox4220]

Thank goodness, t7 had that horrible long loading every rematch

[@rdowg]

Now I just pray that we can get stage and character changes between rounds......

Ready all ready...😂

[@roycearmani5760]

My boy is back and better than ever.. let’s goooooooo. Loving that tekken 3 double kick intro he does before the match too.

[@Kenoji8]

He has now surpassed Baek. Awesome gameplay and he does look very fun. Hwoarang was a potential main of mine since Tekken 3, but there were times that I wasn't crazy about using him. Tekken 5 was the last time I loved playing as Hwoarang, but I don't know, since then I've been kind of burnt out on Tekken somewhat. But it looks like they're doing some good stuff with characters this time around, even outside the Heat system, and that makes me excited. This is probably the most "arcadey"-looking Tekken I've seen to date, meaning that this is as stellar as when the full cabinet of Tekken Tag 1 first appeared in arcades and I was floored by how great it looked. I can't wait to play as him!

[@lur91blaz]

3:58 This follow up was so clean

[@itzNeph]

Oh my goodness thank you for uploading this i saw like 2 decent Hwo players all weekend and i was scared my mans was just beefing it from the other gameplay i was watching. This gives me great relief.

[@TheFlyingChungus]

Glad I could help!

[@AA-db9cb]

It just feels like the range of most of his moves have been increased. He felt so small in Tekken 7.

[@SuperiorWare]

8:05 Hwoarang has a lot of OPTIONS!

[@HoontaTheCrow]

This iteration of Hwo is making me the most excited I've ever been for a new Tekken. Great video and nice moves.

[@TheFlyingChungus]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@erylgohmm2681]

That tekken 3 round 1 intro for hwoarang 💯

[@ShawnWeeded510]

Every second of mix and counter hit makes the PTSD cripwalk.

[@Daobeezy]

I love how you juggle your opponents with your combos! This was so fun to watch. Excited to play some more myself!

[@TheTriangle444]

The hitsparks in this game is insane. I'd love if there was a switch to turn off or on. Or maybe turn all hitsparks into the block hitspark which is pretty neat

[@TheFlyingChungus]

There is a slider in the settings that can change the effects to low, medium or high. I believe I have it on high here.

[@sherlockhomes9919]

It looks cheesy like an sf game.

[@OddSauce]

wow they actually made him look fresh and fun to use

[@jamesmckenna4460]

great stuff! Try using black kite more often, I think that's the one tool he lacked in 7 that he has in 8, a strong mid homing low crushing entry tool

[@TheFlyingChungus]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mistahkalean6777]

"A strong, mid, homing, low crushing, entry tool" sounds broke af.

[@anantambisht4895]

Lol​@@mistahkalean6777

[@stephenkim589]

"먹어라!" (Muguhrah!) Means "Eat it!" in English. So cool!

[@TheFlyingChungus]

Nice! Just wondering what does he say during the soccer kick like in 16:07

[@ficktion]

@@TheFlyingChungus he's saying 끝내주마 means i'll finish you. in the addition korean really don't use the words like "eat it". this is more like japanese expression.

[@TheFlyingChungus]

@@ficktion that's interesting! Thanks for sharing

[@albert93231]

I hope they add the music soundtrack that was one tekken tag tournament 2 that will be nice men i miss TTT2

[@ILoveMusic93]

Is there a 8vs 8 Team battle?

[@AlexToti]

I freaking love the Heat Burst cancel animation at 18:24

[@TheFlyingChungus]

Ikr. Hwoarang's sneaky little taunt 😂

[@applemilind4879]

Every hwoarang player gangsta until Fahkumram comes in

[@dat1faclesdude]

He is really really smooth now and its just amazing

[@remorse3875]

Df2 is hwoarangs rage art punish

[@J.T.G.]

Can't get enough of the Egyptian music they got there

[@kgthesupreme713]

Hwoarang dressed like he couldn't choose between his P1 or P2 outfit.

[@Shaijn815]

Me hoping hwoarangs tekken 7 drip is an unlockable option this outfit looks way too much like something baek would wear which is messing with my head. I'd also love to have his classic tkd outfit but then with a kim's pants physics and animation treatment on all the cloth.

[@brandonforster3719]

Bro I just got my code for Xbox Series X and this looks like my character as well! Got some crazy kicks and mixups!

[@MrWhis-fe5hs]

Ive been playing tekken since tekken 1 I think T7 was a huge letdown from graphics,music and it took fun combos away thay were possible in tekken 6/tag 2 this looks like a huge improvement the hits look powerful the visuals are beautiful and the music sounds really catchy

[@serow]

Is he actually playable now for a new player? Or does he still have one of the largest movelists?

[@TheFlyingChungus]

He still has a stacked move list but for a new player, you don't need to know all of his moves to be able to play him decently. Start by recognising the good moves and use them in matches. It will also be challenging early on to get used to the different stances. But with persistence, anyone can be good with him. His combo execution is still not as hard as some other characters

[@serow]

@@TheFlyingChungus ok thanks!

[@LeeRX9]

How are you so good dude , how long have you been playing , I just started tekken 7 and I don’t think there is a tutorial and I suck

[@TheFlyingChungus]

I basically have been playing Tekken 7 casually throughout its lifespan. It's easy to be demotivated playing against people online early on since they are most likely more experienced than you. All of us have gone through that, it's normal. Just keep playing more to get used to your character and watch videos on youtube about learning the basics, like movement, blocking, punishing and maybe learn some easy combos along the way.

[@godhoho]

It's from the Tekken 7 update, it's not from the Next Gen normally the game will be released on PS4 as SF6

[@MetalSnake6199]

No Wonder Jin is his equal. Man kicks ass just as fluid as he does.

[@justaway6901]

Lily's grunts sounds very interesting lol

[@anantambisht4895]

11:02 i feel the guy😢

[@GrogedUp]

You gotta wonder how his t5 fit is gonna look In this game yk there gonna have it

[@ripmowt]

So losing the eye is not canon? Or did get a new one like Thor ?

[@mitzanu2007]

Very nice! Liked!✌🏾😀✌🏾😀✌🏾😃

[@egttn1]

why nobody is mixing options with sweep? did he lost sweep combinations?

[@kunkanyorhiu6535]

The music is so good

[@ChrisPeseri]

I got a feeling that D3,4 will be more annoying than this when the full version comes out.

[@camodeano3003]

Idk if it’s just me, but he has more Baek characteristics in him this time around!

[@carsonjamesiv2512]

THIS IS THE DUDE!😎🥶

[@agav2345]

Yall dont understand how hyped i am for this even tho armor king hasnt been announced yet

[@5thnametry]

This looks like old tekken3/tag rhythm! Maybe I'll pick him up again

[@marcelo1583]

When is the release.....???

[@hoathim2573]

I’m glad they turn down the special effects hits , before it was like a fireworks show

[@fawtyseven5516]

Gotdamn the moves look so damn good. I just can't stand that juggle forever shit though. I'd like to see them do more animations with there feet on the damn ground with most of this shit.

[@Perofgloves]

Coolest character in teller 8 so far

[@itsmrnuff2u556]

Everyone stop the cap!! You all say you love the heat system now. Wait till your favorite characters get nerfed/buffed and you'll start complaining about how it's not fair the plus frames for characters are not right.

[@untoldlegacy7035]

Yooo are you on ps. I think I fought you before on Tekken 7

[@user-6ju13e07]

holy frick this guy got more tools to have fun with ahahahhaha

[@SuntoryKick]

Is there a trick to doing the dash 4444 after f.4 b.3 so consistently? You seem to get the 4444 to connect every time.

[@TheFlyingChungus]

The key is to do a very deep dash after the f4, b3 to get as close to the floating opponent as possible before executing the 4,4,4,4. Definitely need some practice to get used to the timing. And I definitely don't get it to connect every time. This is an edited highlight reel so I removed most of the failed combo moments. Furthermore if i see that the match latency is >100ms or >2 delay frames, i would straight up skip this combo route as it is super inconsistent in laggy matches.

[@SuntoryKick]

@@TheFlyingChungus Thanks, that will be very helpful. I’ll try it out again when the network test opens again on Friday. When there’s too much lag what combo do you use as a replacement?

[@TheFlyingChungus]

@@SuntoryKick i would do f4, stance switch, 3, 4, u/f+4 (screw), dash, 3~4 (backlash). After the backlash i would usually do heat burst if I'm not in heat already or just dash, stance switch, f3, heat smash if i am. For wall carry, after the backlash, dash, 1, 2, 3, u/f+3+4

[@Muddywatersz]

At 00:47 you did hellsweep without being hit in between. That’s the move i can’t input

[@TheFlyingChungus]

Umm it's not supposed to be a difficult move.. Maybe you are pressing the buttons too quickly? Try pressing them slowly one after the other. Also try pressing the next input when the previous input just about to physically hit the opponent

[@zybino]

11:48 was that a low parry animation ?? Tuff

[@TheFlyingChungus]

Yup

[@tekken8replaystelly]

Good work bro keep it up 👆 you are best

[@elijahstar513]

Why was no one doing jfsr? Is it not worth to do anymore?

[@TheFlyingChungus]

I will try to showcase more of JFSR next time. It's still one of Hwoarang's best moves

[@Dopesol]

How do u play the game if it's not out yet

[@TheFlyingChungus]

It's a closed beta

[@genexis_]

-> -> 4 to rage drive is gonna be so OP! lol

[@Supersmallpig]

If they don't nerf his frame data or chip damage sure fun for low players because they just want to win then easy go into heat and then press whatever buttons crazy then win

[@H_H_H_H_H]

Finally, Hwoarang is strong character? 😂

[@Gameito]

hwoarang must fight baek

Can you turn down the light effects

Yes you can

is it only me or the sound they make when attacking is not good. like too many echoing or something.

[@brandonforster3719]

If anyone needs a code I got 2 yesterday I just found out lol so crazy but I'm doing my due diligence for the company so everyone has a fair chance to get a code and play. Got 1 for any Xbox Series X player or PC the July 28th Closed Network Test.

[@TheFlyingChungus]

If it's still not taken I would like to have the code for PC 😁

​@@TheFlyingChungussorry just now seeing this. It says for Xbox Series X so idk if it will also work for the PC do you think it will?
