Tekken 8 - Steve Fox Guide

[@Zayl1016]

Yesterday was about 2-13 with Steve trying to learn him. After watching this video it's probably 20-12 or so today. I was afraid this guide would be very technical and difficult, but actually was easy to understand and super helpful for a newbie like me! Thanks!

[@ShinBladeTV]

Holy shit!! Thank you!!! 🔥 Yeah that’s my direction to go to make sure it’s simple to understand because a lot of new people will not know how to go on learning. Again thank you for the donation and let’s get to training!

[@user-os1fb8cm7q]

Having this high quality guide with 3.4k subs is CRIMINAL

[@ShinBladeTV]

I hope in future I’ll be more support to everyone

[@alphagamer0812]

​@@ShinBladeTVbro what's your take on Steve new stance. I mean power crush crushes all 3 options. So you have to hard read and do weaves for side steppable power crushes or back sway for highs. Coz I guess duck cancel from this stance is -13 or so. And God forbidden if someone does rage art. Not only that when u r have low health doing cheap step is like u losing the round as they do power crush. Coz of the flow of the pressure game u end up doing 1 out of 3 options from new stance rather than doing duck cancel after cheap step!! 😅can u elaborate on that!! If possible

[@rapschised]

@@alphagamer0812the stance is only strong if it’s on hit. Just remember the risk that if it’s on block or whiff they can RA, Power Crush or launch you. I learned to never use heat crush when they’re in rage since they can just RA if you don’t go for LH1.

[@alphagamer0812]

@@rapschised bro I am talking about hit only. After hitting cheap step you are +7 still if the opponent does power crush it will beat all 3 options. I guess same goes for RA as well. At block you are severely at disadvantage. That's whole another story. I was talking about on hit!

[@alphagamer0812]

@@rapschised the power crush Armor activates even if u do LH1 after hit which is the fastest from this stance! At least to my testing that was the case. Don't know if rage art also gets activated before LH1 connects

[@Indominus_Lupus]

First Tekken I’ve put time into Steve, absolute unit. Hands are rated E for everyone.

[@ShinBladeTV]

Let’s get to work Lupus! 🔥

[@johndotplays]

Picked up Steve (for my first Tekken experience) due to your enthusiasm in playing this character. Thanks for putting this guide together and ushering in this new wave of fans like myself with great content like yours!

[@ShinBladeTV]

Means a lot family thank you! 🙏🏾

[@LordKnightcon]

Just a minor note, the stance cancel that Shin keeps referring to as *Flamingo* is actually called *Flicker* stance, sometimes noted as FLK in combo guides and move notations in the wider Tekken community.

[@JS-yq7xg]

Shinblade you killing it. Hope the channel explodes. The only steve channel with a personality

[@ShinBladeTV]

👀

[@jarrettmaurice3070]

Just Going through ALL of Steve’s basic combos and situations has been a better guide for this character than all the “in depth” ones I have seen so far. You are killing it my man. Thank you

[@Edcas1226]

Thanks for making this guide. Steve seems complex but extremely rewarding, most fun I have had with Tekken in a while.

[@ShinBladeTV]

Glad I could help!

[@deechinator]

Best Steve guide on KZbin rn

[@ShinBladeTV]

Thank you!!!

[@j.c8464]

Only Steve guide bruh where we Steve mains @🤣😭

[@xChronicInsomnia]

Steve has been my dude since tekken 4 and onward to T8. This my first video by you and this guide got me in my bag fr fr . Thank you for the dedication bro

[@ShinBladeTV]

Glad I could help! Appreciate the support!

[@191Oscar]

First shinblade vid, love the content mate. Tekken 8 my first Tekken and going with Steve, this helps a lot.

[@LifeWillChange]

This guide is extremely high quality. I learned from it, nice work! I can feel the labor of love that went into making this video.

[@ShinBladeTV]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support!

[@l1fe1ssh0rt]

Tekken 8's the game I'm finally gonna learn Steve so rly appreciate the guide man, thx

[@ShinBladeTV]

Appreciate the support Life 🔥 thank you!

[@ferndiesel]

BLESS SHINBLADE I'd been wondering wtf steve gets with heat and DAMN it looks nice. So glad to be back to playing steve. Thank you for the guide!

[@ShinBladeTV]

Thank you 😊

[@killagram2261]

Steve is my secondary character alongside Kuma. I have always had a natural affinity for boxers in fighting games, being a boxer myself. However, I was a bit intimidated by this iteration of Steve. You broke things down in a way that was very easy to understand, but still in a way that allowed for a LOT of creativity. Props to you man, got a new sub for sure. I look forward to seeing more content!

[@ShinBladeTV]

I HIGHLY appreciate that compliment family. Sits well in and motivates to keep pushing content out

[@IwatchTubiTrash]

This is my first Tekken game and I picked Steve as my learning point and so far this is the best guide I watched on him.

[@ShinBladeTV]

💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@Dashy_Flashy_]

I started playing tekken a few weeks ago with no clue how to play, thanks to your content I’m now purple ranks 🎉 appreciate the content shinblade 🤙

[@ShinBladeTV]

Happy to help! LFG! 🔥

[@CaptainUberSwift]

Nin was my main reason of picking up Steve back in T6, and have been playing Steve ever since. Great video and thank you for the great guide!

[@ShinBladeTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@joaocasa-novajcn2625]

Subbed! Was always reluctant to learn Steve and it's been years since I touched Tekken. Decided to get Tekken 8 and your insights are a gem! Wishing you a lot of success :)

[@ShinBladeTV]

LFG 🔥 part 2 coming soon

[@xwechamp]

Thank you a lot for this guide man. It has helped me out a ton, I’m discovered so many new options to this character because of you.

[@ShinBladeTV]

Glad to help be on look out for the next one

[@luchakim7593]

wish me luck, just bought tekken last week just because i wanna play steve! -mostly from shinblade matches - here i am now watching his guide ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ShinBladeTV]

How'd you do!? Thanks for the support and join discord so we can help you further your process!

[@superamacrap9897]

Always wanted to get into Tekken and Steve was the only charcater i wanted to play. But kept hearing hes the hardest to play. After watching this, I'll just learn Steve and dive in. Awesome guide

[@ShinBladeTV]

I’m so glad you’re interested again. I’ll see you soon!

[@Headset537]

@@ShinBladeTV is he actually the hardest to play though? I have a friend who mains Steve in Tekken 6 7 and 8, and he keeps saying the same thing.

[@iluvp3]

This is a great guide. Laying a foundation then adding on. Thank you for the content.

[@ShinBladeTV]

Thank you! Time to get to work

[@DavinciiProductionsInc]

This is my first Tekken I ever invested time in and Steve was just the character I gravitated towards, I took notes in my phone through the whole guide so I have a mini mobile version lmfao. Very much appreciate this information. Looking forward to sharpening my skills with Steve.

[@ShinBladeTV]

Steve was my first character I gravitated to when I decided to play competitively. Keep up the nice work and glad you enjoyed the guide!

[@DavinciiProductionsInc]

@@ShinBladeTV thank you again, I hope to spar with you one day or just train in general. Steve is my main character now.

[@daltonjenkins1651]

You just completely opened my mind with Steve. Booted up and hit assailant after applying some of these tips. 🙏

[@ShinBladeTV]

Yoooo glad I could help

Thank you RUBS!!! You’re the best

[@Chill_Phil_]

Thanks for the guide ShinBlade! I was a Reina, Victor main but I didn't realize that I liked counterhitting so much so I recently swapped to Bryan and Steve so this has been super helpful. Looking forward to more of your content

[@ShinBladeTV]

Thank you ChillPhil! see you in ranked 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@MyWadewilson]

Thanks for this guide. Steve is a fighter I've always wanted to play, but always been too intimidated by, but I'm giving him a real shot in 8.

[@ShinBladeTV]

Thank you Wade!

[@X--pv7kz]

Finally, thank you, man. I've been needing this.

[@ShinBladeTV]

No problem ShinFolk!!! 🥊

[@kylecairns2847]

Was excited to learn Steve but was an uphill battle learning Tekken 8 alongside trying to learn crouch cancel tech which every other guide was telling me to do. So hearing you talk about the basics and 'small Tekken' first is a breath of fresh air. Subscribed.

[@ShinBladeTV]

Book a session with me Kyle. I can really help you learn more and I highly appreciate the love.

[@Chasecharb]

Gonna watch this back a few times in the lab. Thanks for all the work. Got a new sub here

[@ShinBladeTV]

Awesome, thank you!

[@TheTrillestHTX]

Gonna return to this guide after I learn and retain knowledge of his move list. Excellent work, bro.

[@ShinBladeTV]

Awesome, thank you!

[@genesishandboards]

I didnt even think to look up Mr. ShinBlade for a nice breakdown, I was tripping 😂😂 I subbed while I was at it! Been playing Tekken for 20 some years and for some reason finally decided to to put some time in with Steve. Ive mained hei and kaz my entire Tekken life, AK is my third hope he gets back soon! Steve is more appealing to me in 8 and this video was nice! I thought I was doing everything right but the master makes so much good info easy for a old head like me to follow and im sure you young bucks got a lot too! Great guide, best one ive seen so far im stubbron and usually try to learn it all on my own but THIS is the way to go! Ty ShinBlade!

Just the basic!

[@alphadaslaya]

Just copped this game, first tekken game I’ve bought I saw some vids of Steve on TikTok and instantly wanted to main him. I’m a mk player I mained Johnny cage in the recent one. He’s not exactly like him but I love Steve’s style. I looked up “best Steve player” and you came up you’re underrated asf. Question tho how come nobody plays Steve in this tekken? I rarely see him.

[@ShinBladeTV]

Looking forward to seeing you in the chat! I used to play Kung in MK

[@victorycalls4179]

Got me singin that combo to myself out loud as I hit it. "Back 1..Duckin 1..Down Forward 1 2 1" This may sound dumb, but i've always found rhythm and cadence to be helpful during long ass combo strings. Appreciate the hard work man. I already know this is certified. Straight from the GOAT so you know it's official.

INDEED!! Get that from the military!

Was going with Xiaoyu as my main. Found Steve while doing character stories today and holy shit. He feels so good to play ... I'm on the verge of dumping Xiaoyu ... ugh. Did some ranked matches with him and it was a blast. Felt so natural. Little intimidated since he is apparently a pretty tough character to master. I don't understand counter hits very well or any of that stuff. Gonna watch this video and try to get an idea of what to focus on
