When it comes to Rage Arts I actually think offline mode has a lot to answer for here. Whenever you face the computer they will almost without fail just eat the RA, which conditions new players to just throw them out expecting a chunk of damage or free win without risk or consequence. Thanks Bamco!

[@PeterYMao]

I wouldn't blame the computer for this. And even if the computer did do this a lot. Why doesn't the player just block and perfectly punish every time if they are used to it? That's an interesting thing to consider.

[@Mokujinko]

@@PeterYMao Sorry, I think I was unclear : the computer doesn't do the RAs, they just never block it meaning it's risk-free damage in single player.

[@Treykot]

Hello, im the biggest Sonic Fang fan in the world - aka the Steve. Thanks for including me in the video! Since sending the clips i was able to get to Jaggernaut rank and it's mostly thanks to your 101 series. I've started using more jabs, low pokes and actually learned how to combo and backdash semi-properly. For people struggling i have 2 personal tips (which were not present in this video), that helped me improve my game: 1. Learn your guaranteed hits - For example, as Steve after FLKb2 knocks the opponent down you can do FF2 for addtional damage. I wasn't aware of that so i was losing out on FREE damage and lost countless rounds because of that. 2. Movement is key to winning - after learning how to backdash, i was able to whiff punish more frequently with that glorious Sonic Fang which helped my growing frustration with the game (and myself). Again, great videos. I'll probably send more footage when the series gets to yellow ranks. Much love from Poland, Sonic Fang Guy

[@PeterYMao]

Yup, happens to a lot of people.

[@t4d0W]

I vibe with the number 1 reason especially with using your characters key moves. You play Tekken long enough and you notice most of the shared moves but the satisfaction you can bring to your own gameplay is being able to show mastery of the characters key/trademark moves and utilizing it properly. So even if you win or lose, you feel satisfied refining the strategy to hit with the move.

[@PeterYMao]

👍👍👍absolutely man!

[@chellejohnson9789]

This is very useful, just hit grand master. I feel kinda bad tho that was at the expense of someone with twice my wins who I dragged back down to expert

[@PeterYMao]

Don’t feel bad. Players will bounce around quite a bit in those ranks.

[@BullC6]

I got my Gigas to Usurper in 25 wins from Fighter rank by demoting a 2200 win Josie Juggernaut to vidicator. I don't feel a lick of regret. Two reasons for that. 1, if he got there before, he could get there again. 2, if his gameplan still revolves around just doing strings...(literrally, no pokes, no combos, no nothing) then he probably will eventually learn that doing that is a road to nowhere. Though I do believe he is not going to change, which is sad. I got my Noctis to Usurper 3 weeks before at his expense too and it was the same...he just had 150 less wins.

[@wallonfly]

Something I realized playing in teal ranks is, Don't worry about korean backdash. My first few matches in teal I'd attempt KBD but more often than not drop the backdash and get a jump or an unintended crouch. Then I just gave up trying to do that and just started backdashing normally which ended up being a lot faster and efficient way of backdashing.

[@PeterYMao]

In teal ranks KBD not a prerequisite. Later ranks it will be but not teal ranks.

[@drewsivao9926]

I am still having a hard time trying to get Bryan out of real ranks but I always end up short.. ended up getting demoted back down to Initiate. Definitely going to apply what's been said in this video to how I play. Thank you Peter!

[@PeterYMao]

Ranks will come and go. It will go up and it will go down. Don't let rank be something that you gage as your only level of skill. Sometimes you will go against better players who were deranked themselves, and because of that your level might go down. Just keep working on improving your own game and as long as you are better today than you were 1 week ago or 1 month ago. I'd call that progress. Keep it up man.

[@KiSTekken]

Also when getting a CH launcher the screen does a extreme close up, so there is a visual cue to look for on combo conversions. Nice video

[@PeterYMao]

Yup! You right KiS. I think the problem with CH launchers is that players throw it out without thinking. They just autopiloting options.

[@PeterYMao]

Knowing is half the battle :) Now that you know, you can work on getting off the ground without pressing buttons.

i mean, its not bad to do if people always walk into them. Its when people start baiting them out and punishing you for them is when you have to stop.

[@esbananaijo]

@@JohnnyDarko01 there's time where I feel like I need to stop but my thumb keep pressing buttons and i feel dumb lol

[@BullC6]

Look doing get kicks isn't bad 100% of the time. 1st you can change your timing. 2nd you can change your pattern, i.e side roll into get up kick or forward roll into get up kick. 3rd, you can wait to see a couple times whether your opponent just goes all in with reckless abandon every time, then you can probably throw it. Lastly and most important, if you get punished, floated or hit out of doing it once or twice...STOP DOING IT! That means your opponent knows how to deal with it.

Things to improve on in teal ranks. EVERYTHING

[@PeterYMao]

Yes, but realistically a player at most can focus on at best 1-2 things at a time. Because there is so much going on in the game and so much to work on I think when players hone in and dedicate to working on certain things progress becomes a lot more achievable. But then again, this is just my way of thinking. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

[@PeterYMao]

It takes time, don't feel like you need to rush ranks. :)

[@thetrickster4899]

For recognizing counter hits, go to practice mode, set player counter hit to random, and keep throwing out your CH launchers. ONLY DO YOUR FOLLOW UPS WHEN THE CH HAPPENS. For example, if you're playing Bryan, start with just using b1 over and over, and every time it counters, follow up with db2, 1. Do that until you can do it 100% of the time. Switch to 3+4, and do the same thing. Once you can do both, then randomly alternate between both moves and see if you can recognize CHs. Again, you should be able to recognize hits 100% of the time. This is one of the easiest things to learn that you will take with you every rank. Then learn your character's generic combos, and try to keep it simple and use the same combo that can cover all of your launchers. Honestly, you shouldn't be bothering with hard combos until you're in yellow tbh...and even in yellow you'll survive with generic combos most of the time. Also, remember to use those CH moves with full awareness that a CH could happen. Intent matters. If you can do 60 damage consistently off launchers, you'll only need to launch your opponent 2 to 3 times in a round, whatever else is missing could just be pokes and chips. There really isn't an excuse to be missing CH hits with most launchers.

[@s-wo8781]

Being prepared for counter hits is easier said than done. Even pro players drop combos from unexpected hits. Tekken also has that weird thing sometimes where you can hit an opponent at a weird angle and end up on the opposite side or or on the opponent's side.

[@PeterYMao]

Being prepared for counter hit is not terribly hard to do. The issue with counter hits that you see drop is that the pros are going for the hard stuff. What I'm talking about here in the teal ranks is the easy stuff. The easy combos out of counter hits are not bad to do at all. The opposite side / opponent side weird angles usually is something that happens at walls. If you are ever afraid of that happening then shorten the wall combo. But again... it's a game and every game has weird things that happen.

[@Nikki-nh9gw]

Hey! I started playing tekken a couple weeks ago and have been going through your guides and I'm so glad I found your vids!

Practice max dmg combo and use easier version in match and focus on the wall travel and what move you should use at wall.

[@PeterYMao]

I personally find that at these ranks players should just focus on staple combos that players won't drop. Focusing on wall travel is less important thank just figuring out tools / key moves. Lots of beginners I think try to work on 20 things at once when in reality it is best to focus on 1-2 different things.

[@PeterYMao]

Absolutely. Make sure to always keep the key moves in mind. So many players limit themselves by just using like 5-7 moves, but when in reality their character has something like 20 good moves to use / choose from. The sooner you can start incorporating more GOOD key moves, the better.

[@djmj1000]

The number 1 habit not using moves correctly you still find in red and purple in many players. Especially strong high, high or mid, high combinations with good frames and damage like from paul (b1+2,1+2 i think). Dragunov, Lili and Jin players also do those a lot. With kazumi the high crush party starts then. Whenever i see the first move i counter with db2 for big crushing juggle damage. So often you are low on health and at the wall and i just wait for the opponent to do this move to punish and to get back the momentum. Sometimes i still rely too much on recovery kicks and good players punish those badly.

[@PeterYMao]

I find at higher levels. Players still try to abuse recovery kicks. I literally climbed out of ranks with Jet Uppering spring kicks. No lie. People in the lower ranks abuse that like crazy.

[@djmj1000]

@@PeterYMao haha yeah a bryan also gave me nightmares in one session. A strategy with life lead which i sometimes follow, from tk3 times is to relax and let opponent hit me once on the ground.

As for the combos, you don't have to make up your own combos. There are a lot of good combos on KZbin that you can use that character specialist have come up with. See if that helps you out :)

[@carlyg1969]

Well I made up ones mainly because I play a mix up heavy character as a Main I play Lei Wulong if you were wondering I am the smurfs are annoying as soon as I get close to fighter rank I lose and go back down I lost my marauder rank but got it back so in reality I think right now I’m a Marauder rank Which I think my skill level is pretty much that marauder/fighter I know there’s sample combos which I’m learning on But I have also created some of my own one does 59 damage and is much easier and more consistent to execute than the 63 damage combo Mix up combo = comet kick / back turn launcher and launcher / mid kick Rather than uppercut , forward kick / snake strike , backturn fist , launcher So that’s why I know I don’t have too but to me with lei it’s part of the fun I know his hard to master and I learnt the hard way too died so many times in the beginning But I’m slowly getting better all the time In fact some of the combos I saw lei player Bilal_Kaka use so most of them aren’t made up at all lol When I get decent with Lei I might pick up a secondary The Smurfs just make me want to get better but they are really annoying at times this one Heihachi was brawler rank and no way he was his skill level said otherwise Perfect electrics , quite a few combos He knew loads of techniques and including punch parry which is hard so react and use unless you use it lots / practice His level would have been at least 10 ranks above me I couldn’t even touch him I got smashed one mistake and it was game over Thank you for Reply :) Sorry it’s so lengthy

i am currently struggling to get out blue and i really think i perhaps have too few attacks. i have two launch combos. like 4 string and that is about it. even tho i can wiff and block punish and all this stuff after a few matches i think i get too predictable

[@PeterYMao]

That is possible that you are predictable, but at the same time you might need to expand your key moves. Some characters have more than others.

[@ED-cl7nl]

YES. Getting this kind of series from you is a blessing, can't wait for the green ranks one.

If you are green ranks. Please submit your ranked games where you lose. Check the community post for instructions.

[@Strash_]

As a yellow rank player, i can somewhat relate....I dont use rage arts but somehow manage to get hit by every last damn rage art :/ Wake up kick habit was definitely a thing for me...Until i played some better players and got punished appropriately...it was a proper spanking

[@PeterYMao]

Yeah the wake up kick habit is something we learn really early on, and then most of us end up sticking with that habit :(

[@nihilon_travels295]

Hey Peter, i really enjoy all of your YT-content, thanks in advance. ;) i know the title is mistakes and all you listed is so true. BUT..... the biggest Problem for me is, how can i know or get to know all the (50something?) characters moves sort of? The problem is that i am overwhelmed sometimes and just dont know what to do, because (my opionion) i do not know the opponents character, what that character can do and my punishes to surten moves and so on and on of course. Is there a shortcut how to get into the game considering this thought to be a problem?

[@PeterYMao]

If you go to a foreign country let's say for this example Iceland. You learn the fundamentals like the alphabet, some grammar, a few easy words like "market" "bathroom" "restaurant." What do you do when you arrive in the city where everyone only speaks Icelandic, speak very quickly, uses words you don't understand? This is the problem you are encountering in Tekken. The analogy I am giving with languages and Tekken are linked. It takes "time" and "practice" to get good at a language, but then it becomes second nature. Right now you are probably 1 or 2 years into playing Tekken maybe less is my guess, and it will just take dedication to practicing learning moves of the characters. Are there are a lot of characters in this game and lots of moves? Absolutely, but no less than a new language. If you were to look up a dictionary or even look up common words that are spoken there are at least 800-1000 different words that are used in a day to day basis. So at the end of the day it comes down to how much you really want to learn this game, and how dedicated are you? The people who are really good at Tekken have stuck with this game, and practiced. Those who quit were the ones who couldn't continue. I hope this helps.

[@nihilon_travels295]

@@PeterYMao Thanks Peter, yes, sure it helps and i guess, thats what everybody knows, but it's of course not what i hoped to hear in the search of a shortcut ;) so it's practice and practice and practice and..... well, and try not to get frustrated.... thats the main part i guess....

[@PeterYMao]

@@nihilon_travels295 There is no shortcut unfortunately.

[@SharpnelBoy]

I really like this. I'm still making some of these mistakes even at Mighty Ruler - yeah, kind of embarrassing, but at least I admit it - but I'm really glad that a video like this is here to help these players out. Even at my current skill level I still learned something from this.

[@PeterYMao]

SharpnelBoy. Brave on you to admit it! I think when players admit their weaknesses, that's when they actually begin to being open to the thought of learning. Without admitting players think they are playing like gods.

[@SharpnelBoy]

@@PeterYMao Well, I learned recently that even though I am a good player, there are always moments that make me remember that I'm not as good as I could be, so it's a matter of really just staying humble and being honest with yourself. I know what I am capable of as a player, but I also understand that I shouldn't put myself on a pedestal and claim myself as the ultimate god of Tekken because I know I'm nowhere close to that level. I also think that more high level players should take inspiration and start admitting their own faults and being a bit more open about them. I don't see too many high level players do that.

[@reasriel9811]

Why does teal rank in here play like they don't know what they are doing but when i meet teal rank in quick play i meet players that can do optimal combo , know every correct punish for any minus move i do and can do some advance stuff like ak shining wizard from wavedash , drag iwr from jab range and some stuff like that .

[@PeterYMao]

You're most likely playing against smurfs.

[@lordfifth4520]

Well quick play doesnt effect your rank, so people who you play against quick play might be more skillful than their rank shows. I prefer quick play too. I didnt touch ranked for a long time. When i used to play ranked i wasnt rematching as much, i was using cheesy moves/strings a lot more etc. But in quick play there isnt anything on the stake so i can focus more on improving and having fun.

I just got into Orange ranks and I realized I challenge every string once I block the first 2 hits. I cannot tech 1+2 grabs on reaction at all & spring kick too often. In the midst of salt, self reflection is important. Hope everyone continues to grind and I look forward to fighting some of you someday

[@jafarabbas90]

BTW can you make a video on how to use "QCB 2,4" during a combo, I'm trying to learn combos regarding this but unable to do so, same with "QCF 3" 2/3 times in a row, "QCF, 1" spam for Paul etc. The Frame window is really narrow in all. Would be great if give some tips to improve.

[@PeterYMao]

You just have to be fast, but accurate with them. There is no real trick to it. QCB for Bryan is from a stance, QCF for Paul is a stance and stances can not be buffered so because of this you have to start the QCF and QCB as soon as the animation of the previous move ends. Otherwise, you will a b+2 with Bryan and a f+1 with Paul.
