OH MY GOD, I literally just asked about this in your previous video when you talk about how to do it on hitbox because I'm using pad and arcade stick interchangeably. THANK YOU SO MUCH, MAN. APPRECIATE IT. THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL. GOD BLESS U, MY FRIEND.

Ima gonna try this out. I kept trying to do qcf over and over. Didn't realize I didn't need to f input. Labbing this tomorrow

[@Mangfera]

This is super interesting and a very important video imo. I've always found Raven to be easier played on pad, but I can't play my other mains like Yoshi and Eddie on pad at all. I have to plug in my stick between games when I play with friends 😂

Damn i know ive asked you how to wd before with raven when you had the master raven tutorial years back. I still cant do it haha, but thats on me, seeing the controller in action is super helpful man. Gon try it again! Thanks!

[@feeharn5531]

You know, i was watching some Pinya, GoAttack and JDCR Raven gameplay, and i think they all went for the easier combo variant (using soulzone 3 for tornado). Perhaps they havent just havent practiced enough for the optimal combo yet but i thought that was interesting.

[@imortalXsoul]

yeah it’s a hard combo so i’m not surprised

[@ITm4n]

Sick. Since they took out heihachi i was looking for a new main. Used raven one time and immediately decided. Hes tha 1

Another great video imortal!

[@ridefgc2637]

This is really helpful! but I'm having trouble after the initial crouch step. I do what you say in the video and return to neutral quickly and do d,df but i just kind of crouch there. Maybe the timing is very strict idk what I'm doing wrong. But thanks for these videos they've been a big help with me learning tekken/raven as a new player.

[@imortalXsoul]

find the spot in the dpad that allows you to go from df to neutral

[@theneonpython]

Dude youre the best

[@ladrellhart2063]

Nice. That's how I do it. I learned it very late in tekken 7. But I'm no master at it. I'm still working to refine it better. But I'd love video on what's the best way to play him. Here is an example: Should we be up close with strings, should we use 50/50 mix ups a lot, should we use more of a defensive poke oriented play style? Or try and and play keep out? What play style is this version of Raven best at? A video explanation on this topic from you would be extremely good.

[@imortalXsoul]

i think it depends on your style! Raven is about space control so can be played anywhere really and has the tools for that

[@dom2795]

Great! This is a really informative video. Please, can you also do this for fight stick as well? I've been playing Master Raven and now Raven in T8 and one of the things I struggled with was being about to do this consistently. I always looked at Maven players who did this with envy. It would be deeply appreciated if you could!

YEEEESSSSSSSS, combo tutorial on dualsense??🤩

[@wapaking.]

Hey! I love your raven content! I use both mixbox and stick and I'm making the same mistakes for the qcf+1,2 after the 3rd f,f+3 combo on both controllers. It feels like more of a timing issue so maybe you could elaborate more on that aspect? I also just watched a mirror match between Pinya and Go_Attack and one (or both?) of them would sometimes drop this combo too and eventually just resorted to the simpler variations. The timing seems very specific because if you do it too fast, the jab comes out and if too slow, they can tech roll and the window for it seems strict.

[@imortalXsoul]

yeah it’s pretty strict to be honest but the timing is just after ff3 recovery and cannot be buffered. It’s just a matter of inputting qcf12 quickly after it

[@wapaking.]

@@imortalXsoul I thought as much. Seeing you do it on the pad really shows how quick it has to be so that was very helpful. Thanks!

[@imortalXsoul]

Oh nice! Now I can see closely how you do the WS motion, I see you barely touch the forward button on the df command.

Been playing tekken on pad since 7, and currently is playing raven on pad. The combos on pad aint too hard. But i do occasionally drop them during matches, or forget my combos. The wave dash is very helpful. Howver i prefer using analog rather than Dpad.

Can u make a vid on recommended button binds on ps5 I just started playing just wanna be as efficient with everything as possible

[@imortalXsoul]

The binds are personal preference. The only binds id recommend is putting 1+3 (escape parry) on R3

[@GGeofreed]

I was trying to find a main in Tekken 8 as it is my first Tekken. Tried out 10 characters and narrowed it down to either Jun or Raven. I couldn't decide on either, so I just made their CPUs fight for the spot. The CPU Raven won the FT3 so now Im a Raven main.

[@MinusC24]

Im practicing with my dpad and when i do the 2nd wave dash its inconsistent when i try to crouch step

[@danielwatson1039]

So to go from ff2 twice to QCF1,2 it’s timing ?

[@magicc1204]

does the QCF1,2 have to be frame perfect? everytime i practice it i either get jabs or the QCF1,2 comes out and tornadoes them but it counts a pickup, not part of the combo

[@imortalXsoul]

nah its not frame perfect, just tight

Raven looks so cool but some of these combos look so hard I’ll have to lab quite a bit before deciding to play him in actual games

[@kokujinn6970]

BIG question for ya. How do you know when you've canceled the crouch dash? I wanna use it to mix in full crouch buttons, and while rising stuff and atm i cant control what in getting.

[@imortalXsoul]

by your input, there is no visual cue really it’s what you’re pressing and what you intend to do

[@cinchch]

What I'm personally missing/having trouble with is that a lot of the resources list so many things for raven that it's hard to have a good overview. Something like showing the most important launcher combos and their easier variations and talking about when to maybe change them up to get wall carry etc and what one gets from carrying people to the wall. And i also think for the longer videos maybe having a quick summary graphic or just a normal summary helps a lot since there's a ton of information that most new players just can't remember even after carefully watching. It feels like the videos are great information and presentation wise for someone that already played tekken before and wants to pick up raven, but it's a bit overwhelming when you're coming from other fighting games or T8 is your first fighting game since the combos usually interact with a bunch of other systems like wallbreaks, wallsplats etc. which are incredibly hard to grasp on top of already overwhelming variety of things the characters can do in general.

[@imortalXsoul]

well system mechanics and learning a character are two different things. Raven is complicated as it is, it’s wise to understand system mechanics first imo
