Use THIS Technique to ESCAPE RED RANKS!

#Tekken8 #Tekken #TekkenRanked
I don't make many videos like this, but I thought this would be helpful for a lot of new/learning players so I decided to record it. This is one of the most powerful techniques in fighting games and is something that if you add it to your arsenal will surely make you a better fighting game player.

[@DaPhenomAce]

This is so easy to do. I leave red ranks and go to orange ranks every other week. Keeps me humble

[@blueisacolor7639]

If you're still stuck in red, you're not playing Victor enough.

[@ActNasty5]

Lol yeah victor carried me to battle ruler

[@devanrichter1466]

Bro victor, devil Jin, and king were the 3 characters preventing from getting passed red for almost a fucking month. Reached mighty ruler tho. I’m a zafina main.

[@reynten1266]

@@devanrichter1466oh that’s new never met a zafina player how is she

[@AbsolutelyAbsurDDD]

Perhaps at the moment, Victor can carry because nobody knows the matchup, but give it time. Eventually people will stop getting knowledge checked and Victor players will either quit or get hardstuck cuz most Victors below Fujin don't actually know their character and just rely on random bs instead of fundies. (I say this as a Kishin Victor main.)

[@aprinceofearthsea4875]

​@@AbsolutelyAbsurDDD The only thing Viktor has that makes him busted is Expulsion. Once that's nerfed, he'll be a strong character who's beginner friendly.

[@givemeverything]

For me as a former red ranks occupant. The way to get out of red ranks is patience and whiffing and stop some bad habits as in not blocking low stop using wakeup buttons all the time or just stop and lastly use ur spacing and react once u see something punishable and most important Take notice of what ur opponent is doin

[@supersaiyankrillin1237]

Frame traps into throws absolutely destroy red and even purple ranks. One thing I've also noticed is, if someone does a meaty move that looks like it staggers your character, then that is a frame trap. e.g. most wr attacks or paul f1+2.

[@Kyori888]

Paul is the goat

[@user-vu6mi8ny1e]

Remember to punish

[@ericwillis3015]

As a new player I really benefited from hearing this. This is something I kinda understood previously but you explained it very well. Thank you.

[@mozeyad4573]

this game is so busted, i’ve never faced so many purple ranked mashers who have no fundamentals whatsoever

[@themarcshark]

Why complain? Enjoy whooping ass

[@Jate7]

Purple Mashers are the best because they are easy to bait. ❤

[@mozeyad4573]

@@Jate7 the point is, you’re not supposed to be rewarded with a purple rank for mashing.

[@clipCommander101]

​@@mozeyad4573purple rank is still scrub ranks. I know because I'm a purple rank scrub

[@WatchinPhillySmokinBillies]

I hate mashers bro I struggle so hard with them but do better with higher ranks who play prope Tekken how is that ?

[@riastradh]

The problem isn’t leaving red ranks, it’s not getting curb stomped back into them

[@christianmirafloresjr.7766]

Lotus back with another fire Tekken vid 🔥

[@kaptainkiwi1266]

I really needed this thank you so much

[@krzysiekj2522]

dude, your voice is powerful. I have bass turned down as flat as I can get it, but whenever I start your vid, I must doublecheck it :D

[@jep177]

Great video my guy

[@coach4209]

You don't give yourself enough credit. You may not be a "pro" but your technical know how is better than most people I've watched. Also, the way you explain things allows anyone to be able grasp things easier. I've seen pros do lab sessions and a lot of them provide awful explanations. Good stuff!!!

[@soul9k286]

the fact this dude has a quiet storm radio voice tho. Bro when I tell u I had to watch this video threee times🤣🤦🏿‍♂️ A1 breakdown of the game I def am sliding out the red ranks super quick

[@HabibiC]

Excellllllllent video ! Thank you. This opened up my eyes as to what my next focal point should be: frame traps

[@zacretzer]

I’m still stuck in orange but having the time of my life learning how to play this game!

[@thatguykenny2008]

Lol this is so true, so many mashers in red ranks, you have to make sure you keeping your offense tight and you’ll fly through

[@beastjb76]

Make a hworang bnb guide G, Ur explanations help me learn mad fast

Im so close 🫠. Taken me 2000 matches to get purple.

[@Silverbackpenn]

@@Dallas4090damn that’s a lot of matches lol

[@tyquan52baller]

Thanks for the info Ggs

[@DaProphecyKJ24]

Learned 2 Reina frame traps when I was first stuck and jumped 3 ranks after, def the easiest way to jump up

[@afrosenshi2803]

Definitely needed this mighty ruler has not been fun for me

[@RizAniki]

Dammit Lotus you got me again

[@T.Y.th3Poet]

Testing this out tomorrow or Tuesday. Im hard stuck in tenryu right now

[@Cirroyt]

I actually hit mighty ruler 2 days ago. I think I’m getting tekken down little by little since this is my first tekken game I’m taking seriously. I never knew about frame traps tho

[@WatchYaTone.]

If it ever happens, it won’t surprise me to see Lotus gain traction with coaching new players up on the regular 💯

[@WatchYaTone.]

He definitely has the potential for it

[@FootSplit]

I am never leaving red rank but thank you for trying to help me

[@momosart4]

This gonna my key to finally get that shinryu rank. Been hardstuck Garyu for about a whole month

[@dabiszn5305]

Sad

[@volktol4432]

You’ll get it bro, I was in Garyu for a some time and then just broke through into Shinryu and now stuck in Tenryu😂

[@famusp1991]

That’s coo….so as a Jin main how can get from Battle ruler to blue Fujin

[@doncj1997]

Would you consider making a series based on how to punish certain characters?

[@Swollenfish]

Ngl I will just copy this frame trap and try and work my way into red ranks using it, currently at Warrior.

[@RoboGoul]

okay so i have been playing a lot of DJ and i got stuck currently in warrior. i cant seem to progress anymore but i am good at knowing punish and having plus frames. but i do not know any of his frame traps. does anyone know it because i usually start with either my rising 2. or do 1,1,2 into forward 4, 3, fly laser. or just open up with a back 3 because everyone wants to do a jab opening though i dont want to go into heat. what are some good neutral frame traps i can open with?

[@ssgcheddar5785]

Red ranks were not that bad but OMFG Fujin up is a hat toss! You may get a great player.... you make get a crazy person 😂 and seems to be more pluggers the higher I got

[@mazem2981]

You said it took a year to get to warrior in tekken 7 and hope its true. I played tekken 2 like 30 years ago ( I am an old guy) a bit but then i had never played fighting game. Now I liked Lidia somehow and bought 7 and a week later in April I bout tekken 7 so have been playing like a month and a couple weeks. I watched your vid I watched PhiDX's vids and practiced a lot but I am around Assialant to Dominator and in quick matches never won (sometimes 1 out of 3) againt raijin Fujin or above people. As I watch vids practice then can be a bit better? Anyways i love your videos. Thanks

[@No_Sunlight]

The clarity in your voice makes you a great teacher, Think you should do a frame trap video for the character with the most votes in this comment come on everyone Who should lotus make a frame trap video on🤔

[@m0m0s0nlyfanzgigigigigo2]

im still waiting on that lars journey lotus.

[@Arcade_King]

Ok so now i gotta get to red got it

[@Devilbruh]

What are Lars frame traps?

[@TOAST-FACEKILLAH]

Im hard stuck Tenryu and I’ve started doing these with hwoarang naturally of late. I’ve also been working on varying my combos and working in wall damage and balcony/floor breaks. I find with hwoarang there’s a certain scrubby style that nets me a lot of damage which is what I call the dragonov style instant running 3 into 2+3 grab or f1+2 it blows people up also the 1+2 from flamingo pressure gets eaten a lot. You combine that with df2 and you got a panic on your hands. My issue is my defence is trash at just over 50 (I eat lows and throws for breakfast) and my technique is even worse currently at around 30 it was at 50 but for some reason my sideswapper stat has gone from a+ to garbage in the last few days? Hopefully next time I comment on this channel I will be ruler 😅

[@tyrynwharekawa4047]

Hehe no pressure 😂

[@jose_8beef2]

i don't want to "well actually" but the japanese text in 1:14 is translated incorrectly. "abare" means when you mash (edit: think struggling or flailing around), especially on minus, and "tsubushi" means smashing/crushing, and "abare tsubushi" really means "mash crusher", the actual counter hit you're setting up for when you have frame advantage (yuuri 有利). i'm not actually sure if there's a term for "frame trap" in japanese, mostly just that they just talk about taking advantage and taking your turn.

[@nj122193]

Swear I thought he was about to say just block 😂

[@EdgelordSativa]

I ran into your Hworang online with Leroy … if you remember fighting a Leroy with demon eyes dressed like a 3rd street saint …. That was me and a great match it was… keep it up fam!

[@WatchinPhillySmokinBillies]

I cant stess enough how toxic orange through to red is, every game i face button masters who repeat the same move , so i started playing casual and i enjoy versin purple n above, way more strategic fights, red is like a mental hospital where everyone no mattee how toxic they played has ended up there

[@Itachiflameamaterasu]

and here i am stuck in purple rank lol

[@Sean-wv7wl]

If you’re still in red, you haven’t used enough death fists

[@brettf45]

Cool thats cool....how about u show me how to get out of these damn yellows

[@MyMrdoodoo]

Use jabs because everyone in yellow is using slow ass moves. Throw lows because no one blocks them.

[@KajunSpxcy]

TK yellow or Warrior Yellow🤨

[@Space_Pirate97]

If you want to get out of red stop pressing buttons non stop, learn to block more, and do just basic ass 10 frame and 15 frame punishment and you will fly through red ranks

[@gaelshama6435]

As a Nina main it hurts to see the bad rep of us having bad connections against Lotus 😣

[@volktol4432]

If you’re still in orange I’d say make sure you know you punishers and consistency with combos, as well as knowing the situations your in (possible floor or wall break, baiting a heat burst to get an easy combo, etc.) keep at it, you’ll get it

[@ghosttactician403]

@@volktol4432 Appreciate it. Though I'm the thinking problem is I know more punishes than I know when to use them 😭. The punish windows are way tighter than in something like SF.

[@masoner789]

Idk if he put this as a warning but if you’re just starting out in fighting games. You will not understand what he’s saying, this would be mostly for intermediate players or fighting game players as a whole.

[@T.Y.th3Poet]

This my first fighting game and I understood. I’m not familiar with the 1 plus 2 terminology but I know what it looks like. The number come secondary to me. I don’t know frame data numbers but i understand that 6 or 8 is better then 13 - 14. I think that all you need to know honestly. Applying is the hard ppl.

[@krzysiekj2522]

not true. If you have some understanding of a basic math, you can understand what frame advantage is. Ppl make it out to be some rocketscience, when in fact it's simple addition and subtraction

[@masoner789]

@@krzysiekj2522 sure someone can do one plus one but I tell someone that isn’t a constant fighting game player or has taken one fighting game seriously and say “Yeah this move is plus on block.” They think I’m speaking Chinese
