Tekken 8 is HARD #3

[@fragr33f74]

Bro, I honestly love this ranked series because it feels like we're both on the same journey as new Tekken players. Regarding mentality, I think one thing us newbies should really focus on and celebrate is the small victories. By that, I mean, be proud when you block a low, or perform a whiff punish, or break a throw, or when you break a bad habit. The other day, I was also on the brink of demotion from Garyu, but instead of being anxious, I genuinely told myself I wanted the demotion because I deserved a lower rank. I also told myself that I wouldn't use the crutch moves that I relied on to beat other newbies. I loaded up into ranked, won like 4/5 matches, and secured my spot in Garyu for now. And, honestly, I don't care if i demote now. Whatever happens, happens for the better. Also, remember, bro, when a Drag, or Jin, or Law player beats your Kazuya, they are the favourites, so mathematically, you were at a disadvantage. Lastly, take breaks from ranked and play quick match. It helps so much because you can really enjoy Tekken and not stress about it. Sorry for the essay. But keep going, bro. I love this video series 😊!

Thank you so much for the kind words and the support and don’t apologise for writing a long comment. No matter how long it is I’m happy to read it! I love your mentality and thought process and I want to push that towards all new players because fighting games are hard as hell! Again thank you for your support and insight and I appreciate the kind words and I hope you reach the rank you want to achieve and your ranked sessions go well friend :D

[@fragr33f74]

@YamatoZA we work towards betterment, brother 💪🫡

[@super_badra]

Really enjoying your content bro

[@super_badra]

"I say im gonna block twice and what do i do, not block twice" 😂 I felt that.

[@YamatoZA]

I’m such an idiot bro! 😭

[@heyyimdaviid5968]

Just found your channel, keep the great work up, great content !!

[@YamatoZA]

Thank you so much and I appreciate the kind words! :D

[@WoahItsGurenge]

iirc when you are queued up against someone thats a higher rank than you in Tekken 8, you gain more points than you normally do! im also glad that i was recommended by your channel, looking forward to seeing you improve and progress more in this game as a Tekken newbie myself! :)

[@YamatoZA]

I wasn’t aware the ranked system worked like that. I’ll take that into note. Also thank you for watching, really appreciate it!

[@octavioseanezgutierrez7281]

And wait to the toxic blue ranks, thats an Inferno in this game

[@YamatoZA]

Will I even make it to blue ranks 😭

[@dale5654]

Just hit tekken king with kazuya yesterday for the first time ever I gotta say that your way of thinking is super nice to see! You're gonna rank up in no time. Wouldn't be surprised if you manage to pass my rank in a couple months. One thing I want to see from you is for you to abuse kazuya's frame traps especially in the rank you're at right now. F4, db4, ss1+2, and cd1+2 are kazuya's best friends. Follow up any of those attacks with a df2 and cook up all your opponents and you'll hit purple in no time!

[@YamatoZA]

Thank you for the valuable pro tips! I really appreciate and I will take them into account and abuse kazuya’s frame traps 😤 I hope you reach the rank you want in the future :)

[@dukecaboom13]

enjoying the content from the UK bro. subbed!

[@YamatoZA]

Appreciate a lot bro thank you!

[@sepiasmash8288]

Cool vid. Just getting into Kazua after learning Lee. He’s hard 😅

[@YamatoZA]

Thank you appreciate it. Lee is excellent!🥀 and I hope your kazuya and lee journey goes well :D

[@aracystic28]

Lol. Saw the title. Had to instant like and subscribe. Tekken IS hard bro. 😭

[@YamatoZA]

Thank you so much! I was going through it 😭

[@munesubopoto595]

Opening killed me😂😂😂

[@blackkivo739]

My goat

[@extralazers3306]

🤣 loved this bro

[@YamatoZA]

Thank you really appreciate it!

[@AhmedHasb]

What was your highest rank in tekken?

[@GU1TARD3MON]

The intro 😂😂😂😂

[@Mackievellian]

Based on your gameplay and I'd say stop mashing 🤣 good video man.

[@YamatoZA]

I’ll take that note down. The mash is too strong in me 😭 also really appreciate the advice and tips!

[@Mackievellian]

Mashing maybe came off too strong, I noticed you were getting slapped by strings near the wall etc. Best advice I got early on was learn the frames for your character. I.e. learn the basic frame traps, like db4 stature kick into df2 etc, see how they react and adjust as you go. Start stepping now! Even if you don't know when, just to get the fear of it out of you and you'll start getting some good timing. Always assume at lower levels that they're gonna mash, out of minus or whatever, from a forced crouch position. You'll get a good few ranks just from these tips :)

[@Ridia_rain]

😊really got this fyp afta i turn off ps5 from tilted on tekken like 5 mins ago😌😌 I cant even countered Leroy- that pissed me off

[@YamatoZA]

Tekken can bring the worst outta you 😭 but we stay strong and get better. Hope your next session goes well bro!

[@Ridia_rain]

thank u so much bro + for the video also😭✨🔥🔥 ​@@YamatoZA

[@Amazing_fantasy_15]

Law has speed,you need to use your Lazer,hold the top 2 buttons at the same time

[@YamatoZA]

Dude you know all the tech. I need your skill and mind 😓

[@dmcfail987]

Watch replays Play against ghost Frame data and it'll definitely make the experience better

[@Amazing_fantasy_15]

Dragunov has heavy attacks,also this is why you need speed

[@Sir.Wiggalot]

I played a set against medusa last week, i beat him the first set then he proceeded to absolutely smoke me the next 2 matches. Downloaded 100%

[@YamatoZA]

That fact that you won a set against him is so huge. You’re the goat and probably incredibly cracked at tekken!😭🤝

[@starb4453]

First time i played online i got destroyed by a Hwoarang masher. I downloaded his ghost and it made me learn the matchup by force (i was losing to his ghost as well 😅) Now that ghost is my personal btch. And improved my game inmensely. I downloaded as well characters used by popular streamers and pro players. That helped me get better

[@YamatoZA]

I’m gonna try that out thank you for the huge tip that’s big brain energy. Thank you again! 🫡

[@dova3162]

Yo are you from South Africa bro?

[@YamatoZA]

Yessir proud to represent the motherland 🇿🇦🫡

[@babladuar421]

IMO, at your rank it's much better for you watch your replays and took suggestions from the replay system and applying those suggestions rather than watching pros because at your rank knowledge and having the ability to punish unsafe moves reliably means you are are already better than most people at your ranks because most people at your level is just spamming stupid moves like Law's low sweeping moves or junkyard in this video are very punishable and if you punish them 50 percent of the time, you will win. Sure, watching pros could help but those pros are playing a very different game than you. Trying to emulate them is like playing tiki taka in Sunday league. You and the opponent don't have the skill to do what those pros can do so stick with learning and doing things at your level.

[@YamatoZA]

Noted. Thank you so much for the huge tips and I’ll go over your advice you’ve given me. Appreciate it a lot!!

[@tacitozetticci9308]

[@houstonraver834]

@YamatoZA just lab when u need to I've been playing since like tek 6 tho and even some before like tek 2 but I was just a kid then. Also learning some frames or your fastes moves helps too
