I finish one 8 minute guide and the next one is out. This man cannot be stopped

[@AwesomeCrab]

Honestly Steve has to be one of the best designed fighting game characters ever

[@AhopeGG]

Before the new stance yes

[@sendalnya]

@@AhopeGG what bout it?

[@var653]

peakaboo is way too low but when he starts punching from it, it looks good

[@SoreDavy]

@@var653peakaboo isnt new hes talking about lions heart & that stance is nuts early ranks & once you know sum setups

[@SoreDavy]

dodging out of lions heart can mix the opponent if they’re not on their toes cause you can back 1,2 right into stance and repeat , throw in a spin and low just need to space it properly

[@patricksreels]

Steve is the living embodiment of: "Don't you dare press buttons on me!"

[@avoidthevo1d]

Bro the game isn't even out for me and this man has uploaded hours of guides already, dang Mainman is productive

[@takohma1056]

Nice guide. Highlighted the new stuff. Used to be a Steve main from T4 to T6. Getting back to him this game. I’ve forgotten a lot with him.

[@averageatbestva]

The one mindset I’ve stuck with on Steve since like Tekken 5 (and I’m sure many others can attest to this) is to literally just play him as a boxer, full send. Look to score hits and win by accumulating points. If your opponent opens up for a knockout (counter hit launcher) then it’s a cherry on top. You’ll win matches just from his safe pokes and strings and you’ll win from some big combos here and there but don’t try and force it.

[@rustyAF]

This comment stuck with me all day and when I finally came on to play tonight, I went on a win streak. I’m not even playing Steve, I just really love this advice 😂 thanks so much, bro

[@grantmitchel2810]

This will be my first Tekken game. Been playing fighting games for about 5 years now but still have not tried Tekken. Excited to jump in and learn as much as possible. Steve and King look the most fun to me so that's where I'll start. Thanks for the awesome videos

[@IccyTheOne]

Unwarranted advice lol so you can ignore tf out of me if you want, but I say learn King really well first and establish your fundamentals, then when you have a better grasp on the game, move on to Steve as he's one of the hardest characters in the game to play. Just my two cents.

[@grantmitchel2810]

@@IccyTheOne already committed to the opposite lmao.

[@andrewjohnson4596]

@@IccyTheOneah ok i have been wondering why i haven’t played since i was in middle school (tekken 6) and now im 21 and struggle to play steve as hard as i try but i can at least compete with king. What a hard game respect to people who are good at it!

[@yuh_19]

@@grantmitchel2810how are you going with steve so far

[@grantmitchel2810]

@@yuh_19 Decent. He definitely is a harder character to learn. Thought I was doing well with him online. Recently picked up Lars and honestly he made me realize how difficult Steve is. After 90 minutes of practice with Lars I took him to rank and won 11 in a row. My highest win streak with Steve was 6. I will definitely keep playing Steve because he is extremely fun

[@mccudi2134]

For the Steve players here just looking for some bit of info he ran out of time, but back 2 guarantees a sonic fang if it connects, still not a launch but another strong option

[@DarkBagel]

Great guide! Just wanted to add, after a CH d/f 2, you can duck into a crouch cancel with d/b, then do WS 1, 2.(WS 1, 1 works too) This does more damage than the machine gun punches, gives better pressure, and its easier to confirm since you want to hold down back to cancel the duck if they block anyway. and if you press 1 early by mistake, you swing a duck 1, which is safe at -7. WS 1, 1 is also safe at -3.

[@jiggmandre]

That lionheart is a different variation of the Ali Shuffle🥊🔥🐐

[@cicchio5128]

HIGHLY UNIQUE CHARACTER 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@rztna]

First Tekken game ever. I was a Little Mac main in Smash. I saw a boxing character and picked Steve immediately without knowing how complex he is. Thank you for some more in depth knowledge on how to play!

[@Hero-vz2fu]

Damn steve looks insane in 8. That new stance is sick asf

[@dripfoe_3307]

It's actually not that great. You can just jab or power crush him out of it for the most part and he can't do nothing about it. Its basically a slighty better back sway. Also what makes it worse is that you're forced into the stance after certain moves/strings. It would be fine if it were crouch cancle-able.

[@jiggmandre]

@@dripfoe_3307it is cancel friendly

[@Section8dc]

I havent felt this much passion for steve since early T7, I played him for years and dropped him and now all those fundamentals are paying off, he is so much more flashy and dynamic than ever before Cant wait to play Lee as well as he is my main, I think the counter hit gods are gonna be my team in T8, boy my hands are never gonna get a break lol

[@taylorbrown7344]

Bro those my guys lol. And rang

[@aveave5643]

U and me both Steve is my main haha

[@smugpug3093]

Same man, Lee & Steve for life!

[@myerhq8307]

What kinda demon is able to main lee and Steve coach me

[@DesiringANewDawn]

These videos are amazing, been watching a ton of your videos. just wish there was visuals for the combos on screen for these

[@sundern1689]

also found out something while messing with him that wasn't in this video. his up back 2 is a homing high that comes out at 18 frames and is +3 on block. it goes into lion heart but you can hold back to cancel it. on hit it guarantees sonic fang and on block you're plus three, it is a high though so they can duck and punish.

[@nil0ww598]

tekken 8 in 8 minutes will be so iconic

[@mauricedouglas904]

Love the 8 minute guides love it !

[@WaZarooo]

Played tekken when i was super young like the first 3 tekken in the 90’s , watching these makes me wanna play tekken 8 , im 30 now and seems like steve is a fun character , i really liked eddy and hworang when i was young but this character seems to suit my way of thinking

[@gokud.uzumaki1520]

If you are new to Tekken, Eddy and Hworang are easy to spam, but very hard to actually play, especially Hworang. You have to remember if he's standing on his left or right foot when you do different moves because his combos can sort of be reverse and use the opposite kick buttons depending on what foot he starts his flamingo stance on

[@EPICGAPE]

Great video dude!

[@zaroslaw2077]

If Jack 8's guide isnt 8th 8min guide to tekken 8 then i will be disappointed

[@Zawoalowany]

Love he used Nina as training dummy ❤

[@sportydude9337]

Been using him since T4. My favourite.

[@Crushboi_22]

I can finally play Steve in T8, this is the best Tekken ever lol

[@kanedalo2822]

Mah boa Steve is looking slick. Thank you main man!

[@Neru619]

One of the hardest character to master and has been since forever in all Tekken games. One must really dedicate hard on Steve to excel with him but once you do reach that high skill level you will start to see how easy you beat down anyone trying to challenge your rushdowns.

[@lambda494]

I love Steve Fox. He always wants it to be his turn

[@realeques]

lol i remember you from teaching me about him in tekken 7 lmao time flies 😂

[@austa10]

Even though I'm no pro at Tekken by no means, I still love learning to play characters. I usually suck at Steve but I really want to make him my secondary character this go around with Tekken 8. Thanks for the vid and tips!

[@kallekainulainen692]

I reccomend trying to go into lion heart just as the round starts. Some people attack first so you can punksh that with lion heart

[@nonah5217]

Please make more Steve content

[@newlazer8087]

Please finish the rest of the cast 🙏

[@_1Sentry1_]

It says allot about how difficult Steve is that as soon as i played a character who can actually punish and launch punish getting to emperor was the easiest thing i'd ever done. Did it just under a month and not in lengthy ranked sessions either, just maybe slightly over an hour casually 4 or so times a week and it was smooth sailing but with Steve my main i just couldn't do it. Hit a brick wall at Ryujin. He'll still be my main always and forever. Just gotta git gud i guess.

[@wra7h]

I had your steve guide tekken 7 playing next to this and the graphical improvements are so minute...

[@topebin3287]

I boxed myself for 7 years so naturally Steve got my attention. Is he hard to learn? I'm not totally new but not really experienced either

[@XXXyamaX]

I would say: above average - hard Execution etc ain’t too bad but definitely not easy Your gameplay tho makes him at least top 5 hardest character in the game if not even top 3 Definitely not beginner firendly

[@toob_noob4381]

Knowledge and skill checks. Beyond the average level of a Tekken character. Above average execution but can be mastered with some real practice. But of an obstacle but not a barrier per say. Game plan however, is the real learning curve. Revolves around counter-hits and spacing. You need really good Tekken fundamentals and knowledge of Steve's moveset if you wanna level up. Once you do though, you're gonna be fucking up everyone you see. A good Steve player is a menace

[@billyscenic5610]

Do you still have do the Shiro combo ?

[@rando8831]

I don’t get the stance cancel. If I back 1 into the flicker stance, how to I cancel the stance without punching or being stuck? Pls help someone

[@GibGeld40]

press 3 or 4. 3+4. db. backsway or press 3+4 back.

[@matheusuzumaki100]

Wanted to get better at the game as this is the first fighting game that I found actually playable online (I dont suck THAT bad), arcade quest really taught me a fair ammount of combos with Steve. Then I come to a guide video and cant understand a single term he uses when teaching. Guess this wasnt meant for beginners at all.

[@matheusuzumaki100]

I mean wtf does a minus whatever mean

[@generalk9947]

I find him difficult to use especially against more flashy characters but I need more practice loool

[@iZephiroth]

I'm new to Tekken, but a character without a reliable punish launcher in a game that is based off juggle/air combos seems REALLY bad.

[@whinemax]

If I was good at Tekken I'd play Steve all day

[@phantomElden]

Think about it like this, these guides for the most part are not going to level most people up past like beginner ranks. He makes guides for characters he doesn’t know tech for but rather 1-2 of their main moves and that’s it. No tech, no setups for the most part. No “I main this character even a little” type of knowledge and he makes guides on them to teach 😂 when he plays them, you’re not gonna see anything different than what he thinks is just use top 2 moves and then either win or die. He won’t THINK like the character he’s playing. He won’t look like a main of that character except kazuya. So if you do this, b1 and 1,2,1 a lot, you’ll win in beginner for a lil while and then be as knowledgeable as someone who’s played for 20 years
