The SURPRISING TRUTHS About Tekken 8 As A New Player

[@DaikenFGC]

Thank you all for the recent support! 🙏 How do we like this type of video style?!

[@twilightleaf201]

🔥

[@despicableree58]

The new video style is great!

[@kingj521]

I noticed even at a low level the ability to consecutively back dash will give you a crazy upper hand over your lower level opponent

[@DaikenFGC]

IT REALLY DOES! Players at low ranks are kinda just doing strings across the screen. Having the ability to create space for launching whiff punishes is easy rank ups at low rank Tekken

[@Vespyr_]

New players practicing to do kbds is funny to me. There are so many things you need to be learning before this ever becomes useful. I've thrown people right out of these so often lately.

[@Guitar-Dog]

Especially in T8 KBD isn't necessary it's more just 'movement cancelling'

[@leeli4692]

What's kbds?

[@stanislavchugunov]

@@leeli4692 "Korean back dash", when you move backwards faster than by just pressing "back,back". It's very tricky and will take a lot of time (probably months) to do it perfectly and apply in the real matches.

[@leeli4692]

@@stanislavchugunov I see. Thanks

[@DaikenFGC]

I mean if you gonna play the game seriously you mine as well train it 30mins to an hour a day. Thats what I did back in T7 before the game came out. It wasn't that bad. Creating space from my opponents is easily the easiest way to win at low ranks imo

[@cikame]

Side stepping in Tekken is akin to doing a parry in 3rd Strike... it's just... Tekken also has parries...

3:58 that snekay poison Reference on Lili

[@EJTheKage]

Excellent video bro! As someone who grew up playing Tekken 3 & onwards, it really does make me happy to see people enjoying this masterpiece of a game!

[@DaikenFGC]

Game is mad fun bro!

[@EJTheKage]

@@DaikenFGC Word bro! As soon as I'm able to pick up a copy of T8, we'll definitely get some matches in! 💯

[@jamessummers5936]

Very good vid. As someone who's been playing Tekken pretty heavily, and super casually, since T5:DR, you covered some really good points.

[@JordansMortalKombatAdven-xn3qo]

Awesome! I’m a new Tekken player starting with Tekken 8 as the sexy and badass Queen Reina so, yeah I want to learn her and I think I definitely want to use these guides to learn the game as her

[@professoremil]

That Lili “Poison” cosplay is peak. 😮‍💨💘

[@frobeusns6404]

Great vid. Would love to hear more about your learning process in Tekken and compare/contrast it with 2D fighters

[@ardidsonriente2223]

Love Tekken and love the video format, Daiken. Please keep them coming.

[@Evilj82]

I see more people mash on hit in SF6. People aren’t scared about counterhits as much as they are scared to get thrown or whiff punished .

[@killclair4594]

I’ve bin playing Tekken for years. I’m pretty go fox I don’t back dash. Just wait half a second longer to throw your attack. Counter hit. Don’t over think anything.

[@blairwich1935]

Jin's back-dash cancel is tougher this time around. Very short window. 😢 APM definitely is a factor. So working out your hand / wrist is something only that can be developed over time.

[@kingj521]

Iron Grip. My mind always gives out before my hands. Hand dexterity maxed out mental capacity caps at like 50 lol

[@Guitar-Dog]

Yeah I noticed when I play other fighting games it's weird to not be hitting the stick in neutral

[@vapersmith7859]

The move list coupled with the reactions I got from other players...starting with very negative reactions was my first big experience.. The notation didn't help as it had nearly nothing to do with Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat notation (My first 2 non Smash bros fighting games)...and I'm still struggling to figure out it all intuitively. The strong incentive to specialize into only one or two characters is also something that is strong in this game that I am not entirely familiar with as well.

[@coquifrog]

Great video!

[@shaymcquaid]

Great video! Subbed.

[@pencilswordfish]

Theres a misconception on whether or not things are reactable (and readable) in Tekken. Things are telegraphed, especially i20+ moves, and You CAN react to thjngs if you're godlike but most if not everything in this game for normies like me is a read. You read lows and not react to them, EVEN the slow and big lows. You Sidestep something 'preemptively' based on a read, not a quick reaction. (PHIdx expands on this in a video.) Same for parries, throws, etc And so on. Only the godly few can truly react in this game.

[@SugarRoll]

No mention of throws? It will ruin your day when you fight someone who can break throws and you can't.

[@DaikenFGC]

You know I had throws in my notes but decided to not include it in the video idk I couldn't think of a transition into it! But yea they are vastly different from majority of fighting games. Even the new throw tracking is messing up experienced players

[@blastarrow6562]

Well said my friend

[@similaritiesendhere]

Instead of hurting your wrists, get a leverless controller. Tekken has no 360 inputs. You can get good "snackbox" for $50 if you know where to look. It sucks learning leverless but, you only have to learn it once.

[@DaikenFGC]

Haha I definitely don't want to do leverless that would be much worst for me since I dont have good individual finger coordination. That would probably be a much worse pain for me tbh

[@similaritiesendhere]

@@DaikenFGC No lever you can buy is ever going to stand a chance against this: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX-ypGWVaZZ4mJI&pp=ygUWS29yZWFuIGJhY2tkYXNoIGhpdGJveA%3D%3D

[@similaritiesendhere]

@@DaikenFGC Look up a Korean backdash tutorial for "hitbox". It's braindead easy. You lever guys are heavily outgunned.

[@twilightleaf201]

I've never touched tekken in my life but this video was really enjoyable for me, especially with the jokes 😂

[@gamelord890]

great video! I'm playing too yk! Just started my youtube journey! Wish me luck 🤜🤛

[@DaikenFGC]

Good luck with your Tekken journey as well!

[@gamelord890]

@@DaikenFGC means a lot thanks 😌

[@theHedgex1]

a really nice and good video.

[@DaikenFGC]

Thanks Hedge! 🙏

[@Blind_Death]

Wrist is broad, specifically it's probably Carpal Tunnel. I just had surgery for it, combination of 20+ years of gaming plus my career destroys it too.

[@DaikenFGC]

I hope its not Carpal Tunnel... I couldn't even imagine going through that immense pain as people describe it. More power to you for dealing with it bro. I hope the surgery helped 🙏

[@Blind_Death]

@DaikenFGC Worst part was couldn't sleep tbh, woke up 4-5 times every night with shooting pain down my arm. Surgery was immediate relief but couldn't use my hand for a month then had to build it back up. Luckily I had just enough time to recover before T8 came out though lol

[@psykenroyale]

6:16 and 7:56 was gold 😂

[@DaikenFGC]

Those moments were from the soul 😭

[@Burning_Typhoon]

Side-stepping and side-walking are two different things.

[@DaikenFGC]

yes I know burning! Thats why I explained what side step was by stating it was a tap motion

[@kingj521]

You lucky your not a melee player. It almost makes tekken looks slow.. ALMOST!!!

[@DaikenFGC]

Yea Melee is extremely fast lol

[@louisedyhlen3234]

plays 3d fighter, doesnt actually use the third dimension once in a video

[@DaikenFGC]

??? If your talking about the B roll match footage I am purple ranks now bro these are very early matches. I was focusing on many other different tools
