For anyone who actually wants to understand what TMM is falling for against Yoshi: his 2,2 is -1 on block. For some odd reason, TMM keeps rushing in to get flashed. It’s not some fancy discord set up, it’s just TMM playing way too aggressively. Yoshi can cancel into KIN stance after 22 to try to mixup, but TMM isn’t allowing enough time to do any of that, so instantly flashing is actually the best option against how TMM is playing.

[@aaron.biketrials]

I just got back into Tekken today (in a serious manner I mean). Last one I played properly was Tekken 4. Tho I haven't played the games for years, I've been watching your content and your videos have been quite helpful! I managed to reach Shinryu today as well tho I'm playing the more beginner friendly characters so that's probably not as impressive. Anyway, thanks for all the advice!

Also that "kazuya new tech" is neither new nor exclusive from his channel/streams, it's a very well known thing and he's saying that everytime someone blocks his strings, hellsweeps or pretty much anything, like he's expecting everybody to be oblivious to Kazuya's moveset when the character has been out for 20 years. It's as stupid as if I open stream now, I say "Hi" then I go to the street to say "hi" to people and when they reply "hi" to me then I say "he's a viewer" lmao delusional af. And don't get me wrong I like his content but saying "he's a viewer" on every block is tremendously stupid on his side and annoying to watch that why I point that out.

[@bruhmoment8326]

I also had trouble learning how to electric on controller but some advice I received on how to input the electric was doing forward-quarter-circle forward and when as soon as you tap down to do a quarter circle forward that's when you tap 2.

[@ozymandias9920]

I was thinking of maining kazuya in this game. Looking all of your guides and all but there is one thing that i dont get. Everytime i try EFWG i get only FWG. It says press simul but even when i check button in put it says im pressing downward triangle at the same time yet i dont get EWFG. What can you say to train it and execute it better?

[@adnanasif9538]

In training look at your command history and see what inputs are being registered before downforwad + 2. Remember, the input sequence for an electric needs to be clean, meaning it should exactly be either: - F . DF + 2 - F . D, DF + 2 No directional or 2 input should be repeated. Also, Electrics execution requires muscle memory, which will only come from practice.

[@ozymandias9920]

@@adnanasif9538 yes ofc practice makes perfect. But when i tried and checked F+DF+2(it states in button in put that i entered in practice) i sometimes get electric sometime dont. Just trying to figure out what im doing wrong where im doing wrong. The in put window is rahter tight i believe and maybe i enter slow?

[@adnanasif9538]

@@ozymandias9920 The DF input is not repeated in command history right? Also you have to input DF while Kazuya is doing that inward step after pressing the forward button. You must not wait for it to complete. I play on hitbox and keyboard so it might differ for you, but what I do is after pressing forward I take a very small pause (less than even one second) and then input rest of the command. On controller if you are using the d-pad with your thumb, after pressing the forward button lift your thumb and re-position it for the downforwad input.

[@lucastonoli3256]

Other than practicing, make sure to disable V-sync and limit frames to 60. Always a good practice.

[@CobraKaiLidia]

I wish Kazuya would adopt Demon breath, Raijin Stance, and Heaven's wrath from Heihachi and wind God step from Reina. I think Reina has the most moves than any Mishima to date

[@thezs1832]

Hey mm this yoshi use the typical gimmick 2,2 -> no sword stance -> flash it leave him with -1 in close range so the no sword flash 8f pretty much hit you if you press anything you can either duck the second hit or just wait for flash and punish flash. It's kinda just a trick for the opponent to leave you alone after 2,2. If you had this knowledge check this yoshi probably doesn't take any round from you.

You press "up" or "down back". Allows you to get up quickly to block lows or mids like Kazuya's ff+4 at the wall as seen in the video. TMM was abusing it as his opponents didn't know how to manoeuvre off the ground.
