Tekken 8 - Steve Fox Quick Start GUIDE

[@KrisDee1981]

Is this from the demo right? There are some changes with Steve. B2 1+2 on normal hit does 48 damage. It's almost like a mini combo because next you can always do wr2 for safety and 12 chip damage if they block. So at least 60 damage and +6. 1+2f in heat doesn't wall splat any more. Uf4 is now safe at -9 but only launch when CH.

[@soulxcv]

I'd also like to add that flk 1d1 doesn't launch anymore on CH. Pinning your comment for visibility. Thanks fam!

[@MarleyVibes13]

Definitely deserves a thumbs up . Not only was this dope and informative, the chill music in the background too!. Always loved making Steve and this video was just 100 percent helpful!

[@sirrivian]

I'm a newcomer to Tekken and low-intermediate level in other games - this is one of the best guides I've seen, complete with descriptions of when and how to use each move without overwhelming me in an approachable format with no bullshit. Information like the move at 7:30 being the reason people respect flicker communicates a lot, followed by the example is perfect

[@Fried_Hylian]

I’m determined to get decent at Steve in 8. Thanks for the crash course dude!

[@jermainec1225]

Same here, Steve in T7 was so intimidating that I didn’t even bother.

[@skyboundzoo]

Same let’s goooo!

[@data9594]

same. tekken 8 will be my game. I got ok at tekken 7 but ill go farther in this one

[@duffman18]

​@@skyboundzoo same here. I'm always late with fighting games, and it's difficult to get into a game that people have been playing for years already. This is the first time I'm here right at the beginning, bought it in the first week, been playing it every day. I'm never gonna be really good at it, I suck at fighting games, I just love to play them anyway. I just wanna get good enough to play online against people. And I am biased towards Steve because I'm British. It's probably a lame reason to want to play as a character, but I'm too patriotic I guess. Also he's the most unique character in the game, with no kicks available, only punches, and dodges instead of kicks on the kick buttons. No other character plays remotely like him. So that means he'll probably be difficult to counter, difficult to understand for opposing players. In theory, anyway. But yeah I suck at him at the moment. I'm far more used to the normal kind of tekken characters. It's hard to get out of the mindset that all the face buttons are attacks. Have to change the way you think, and that's tricky.

[@MinecraftMartin]

How's it going with Steve?

[@Hoonterrr]

Great guide and easy to follow. Thanks for making Steve much more approachable to learn!

[@jojoromos5304]

Hi I’m new to tekken when it comes to combos, can anyone explain to me what ~ means? Does that means pause for second that press the next button of a combo? Also when we see < green circle Does that mean we hold back and press triangle (or Y if you’re on Xbox)

[@soulxcv]

the ~ symbol means you need to quickly drum the input. So in my example, df 1,2~1 means you press df1, then press 2 and immediately press 1 quickly after. Hope this helps!

[@PainofRazeration]

I need help with performing ducking in (f+3 or 4, hold), can't do it

[@soulxcv]

What's your problem with it? Maybe I can help

[@PainofRazeration]

@@soulxcv Oh, I thought I had to press forward again, because that's what it says in the movelist, but I just held f+3 and it came out lol

[@VDViktor]

For ppl struggling with Steve's CH b1 combo and the ws1 part : dont get peer-pressured into thinking that its the only way to play. It only adds measly 3 dmg to the combo at a high risk of dropping it and losing out on 31 dmg, and you can see even top Steves drop these from time to time. Which means ONE dropped ws1 combo will cost you same amount of dmg you are potentially "losing" if you do 10 simplified combos instead. If you cant do the ws1 combo 10 times out of 10 with 0 effort - the risk is just not worth it, mathematically. Funnily enough it will also probably add some lifetime to your poor controllers xD Instead, do the same combo but dont hold back after df12~1. Simply do df12~1, skip the ws1 and continue the combo with f22....

[@soulxcv]

I agree, I only do it if I'm sure I can win the round or the game. For the execution requirements, it's not worth dropping the combo. Sure it adds wall carry and more damage, but I'd rather take my guaranteed damage

[@MKG176]

4:44 how do you cancel out of lion heart quickly enough to throw out the sonic fang before they can block?

[@soulxcv]

I went over it quickly in the video, when you do ub2 by itself it has an automatic transition, but when you do ub2 and press back immediately, Steve will not transition into LIH so you can guarantee a sonic fang since you have +14 in neutral. Hope this helps!

[@aazim8918]

i’m new to tekken how do you cancel steve’s attacks and how do you counter attack ? also i play on ps5 can you explain with those button terminology as the tekken ones are confusing

[@soulxcv]

- Buttons in Tekken are referred to by limbs and an associated number. Left punch is 1 (square), right punch is 2(triangle), left kick is 3 (X) and right kick is 4 (circle). Pressing a direction and corresponding inputs will lead to certain attacks. For example, going into peekaboo stance is forward 3+4. So you press forward, and X and O at the same time. - Steve is unique in a sense that some of his moves can go into stance. By going into stance and then quickly getting out of said stance, you can effectively "cancel out" an attack's recovery, making it safe. A good example would be B1 or back and square. B1 alone leaves you unsafe which means the opponent can punish you. What does that mean? If you press b1 alone and they block it, any attack of theirs that is 14 frames of startup or faster is guaranteed to hit you. So how do you make this move safe? By continuing to hold back after pressing B1, you can enter into flicker stance. And flicker stance automatically blocks highs and mids. Essentially, without going into the technicalities, when you do this, the opponent cannot attack you even if they block this. - A counter attack is when your move connects before your opponent's move connects when both of you throw out your attacks. When this happens, your attack property sometimes changes and it usually leads into a big reward for you. For example, B1 is only a little damage when you land it normally. But when you land it on counter hit, there is a large BOOM sound, the camera zooms in, and the opponent's body slumps to the floor, giving you a massive amount of time to pick up their body for a devastating combo. I hope this helps you friend!

man i have so much trouble finding out the timing for the duck cancel especially into ws 1 for combos and ws 12 for pressure any suggestions?

any tips on how to pull off that dck cancel neutral 1 you sneak into your combos? Its hard for me to do, I think imma skip it for now and slowly implement it later as I get better and more comfortable.

[@jahmilly937]

You have to go into flk. After df12~1 hold b and then go into dck cancel ws1. The notation is df12~1b F3 db neutral 1

[@soulxcv]

If you've played T7 Steve, doing into duck has the same timing as going the DCKf2 screw in combos. What I do is the moment I input duck 1 I am already holding d/b and when I see Steve do the duck motion, I immediately do ws1. I gotta admit it's a really tight window and I probably won't do it in ranked matches for now. Maybe in quick matches and slowly get comfortable with it until the timing clicks to muscle memory

Great video. I'm not sure if I missed it, but Steve's uf2 in neutral is a great launcher as well. I consider it to be his true "hop kick" not his abysmal uf4 kick. Also I had no idea you could cancel lion heart from ub2 by holding back.

What's the notation of the combo staying by PKB 2 CH at the end of the video? It looks like after df1 2:1b f3 1 there's a f22 but I can't connect it...

[@peacekeeperjfsr]

2:23 how do you do that move? ( f3 sparks)

[@soulxcv]

Hold down f3 until Steve does another small hump forward and says "huh!" That means you are in EXT DCK. Moves in this state have blue sparks

[@hadinaji14]

Can u recommend some pressure with steve like 21 than peak boo etc any would help tanks!

[@soulxcv]

My entire gameplan in a nutshell is to check with jabs, df1 and 21, then use 21f to transition to PKB and bully them with PKB12 and PKB df11 and PKB d1. When they start respecting me I use wr2 and stomp. When they disrespect me I take their timing into consideration and b1 when I am lightly minus at say -1 to -3 or if I am lightly plus like +1 to +3. wr2 gives +5 on block and it gives a big stagger so opponents usually do not press there but if I notice that they do, I flowchart wr2 into b1.

[@The-Honored-One]

On the combo trials, I CAN NOT figure out the feint, any help for a poor sinner?

[@soulxcv]

If you are referring to the df 1,2~1 feint, 2 should be followed closely by 1. Try sliding your finger from the first button to the next in a fast and fluid motion. It should help. If it's not what you're referring to then send me a timestamp. Cheers!

[@The-Honored-One]

[@TyrantPwner]

Any idea of more detailed T8 Steve guides out there? Assuming its still to early to expect such things lol

[@soulxcv]

I think it's a bit too early. Most of what I see are combo guides, and the most detailed one yet is That Blasted Salami's hours long video, but that's T7 and a few seasons too old. Everyone's still labbing at this point and Steve is too complex of a character to make a detailed breakdown of

[@SooFnSinister]

Any tips on how to land B1 ch into ex duck?

[@soulxcv]

When you B1, always be holding back so you're immediately in FLK on hit or on block. When you hear the loud boom or see the zoom in, you have your cue to release back and immediately duck in. Hold it down until Steve does a little small hump forward and shouts "HUH!". That means the next button is blue spark. Press 1 immediately then. If you do not hold back when you B1, you will recover in neutral so Steve will be slower to input the next move. AFAIK you cannot ext duck then.

[@SooFnSinister]

[@ريانمكاوي-ش9م]

This is awesome but guys I use ps5 what's WS stand for? 3.41

[@soulxcv]

WS stands for "while standing" and is a generic state in which characters are going from a crouched state to a standing state. The few frames of animation of them standing back up is a specific stance and some moves are changed just for that specific stance. We call it "while standing moves"

[@CLFLY]

FLK 1D1 doesn't CH launch

[@bigbadbusta3871]

These BnB combo's can be pretty tough compared to the T7 ones and the damage aint quite what it used to be lmao. its gonna take me a while to get these new ones consistent. R.I.P Flck 1, d1 screw attack. You will be missed

Flk 1 d1 will be sorely missed, that move got me so much wins in T7 🫡

[@shinn43]

Isn't Instant Flicker to WS1 faster than DF1 or does the flicker cancel makes it slower?

[@soulxcv]

If you have the execution for it yes. It tracks better and the threat of the ws12 mid follow-up and plus frames is 10x better than a df12 high follow-up that better players can easily duck.

You can cancel that into LWV, RWV, SWY, DCK

[@cursedcrow1033]

@@soulxcv Yeah i discovered that . What your thoughts so far on him ? He is fun asf however compared to the rest of the cast i think he needs minor buffs . Dunno would be cool if he would give him the Clinch also without heat

[@soulxcv]

I initially thought he was really absurdly broken but upon seeing the current state of the rest of the cast, I think he may need just a little boost in his neutral. Df2 not launching in any circumstance is a big flaw because to add to it not tracking, other characters that aren't even counter hit focused have a safe long range mid counter hit launcher. Why not the counter punching paragon? It used to be broken because it was safe homing. Now it's only safe. I also think that stomp into auto LH should give better frames or just give us the ability to guard. Having a forced mixup stance that gets Steve to still be hit back is weird for me. I've lost a lot of comebacks because I was hit out of the forced stance transition. That said I think he is still really good. Maybe top 15 for sure!

@@nightwing5288 it may be because the distance of your juggled opponent is too far. I can think of 2 things: - you didn't dash in far enough. With the new tailspin system you really have a lot of time to dash in deep. Try to start running the moment you tailspin them. Buffer it by mashing forward. - another thing is that maybe you are left swaying too long. You can drum 312 really fast and you will still get the move to come out

I did a rough draft of it once before I made the final version of this and between juggling reading the outlines, finding the right words at the right moment, fiddling between the menus to get exactly what I want and doing the correct thing at the first try, I concluded it was REALLY hard and it isn't probably for me. Rewatching a small segment, there was tons of dead air and I figured the audience would just click off the vid. What TMM and Fergus does is actually quite hard. Having a ready script and reading off it with good editing like That Blasted Salami would be the next logical step for me. I will definitely look into doing it in the future!

Does WS mean while rising?

[@llMavenll]

And how do you go into heat without attacking

WS means "while rising" in the context of the game. However the community dubbed it "while standing" so it wouldn't be confused with WR which the community dubbed "while running". As for going into heat without attacking, when you activate heat burst with 2+3 and Steve is in the animation of showing his fist, double tap back and he should cancel his attack. Hope this helps!

i can do every part of these combos except for the dash 3 2 1 1, sometimes i can do it but i dont know what im doing to even hit it, or mainly i cant hit the 3 2 1 after the dash ( & sometimes when i do the ending 1 just misses) any tips for the timing?

It's 3 1 2 then 2 bro 😁 Another thing you can do is deep dash. Start mashing forward when you tailspin the opponent and try to get in as close to their body as possible so the final 2 hits
