Beginner VICTOR Guide | Tekken 8 

I do coaching too!! - metafy.gg/@imortalxsoul/sessions

It probably gonna get brought up here but stance is called iai which is the marital art of katana quickdraws

Bro actually a non nonsense guide. Straight to the point. Made it so much easier to pick him. Thanks man 🙏

1+2 in Iai Stance is the chasing enemy move (since it has amazing reach), but 2 should be used if the opponent starts closing in. You were spot on in that the player HAS TO stop button mashing if you want to use him properly. Very informative.

Going to be checking out this video a lot since I'm also playing/learning Victor. Thank you so very much for making this video

Thanks a lot for the guide bro! I struggle to learn new characters quickly so this is helpful

Really nice breakdown, thanks for actually showing the application of his neutral tools.

Thanks for uploading this. Been playing Tekken since 2 but definitely needed some info on this new character.

Its been so much going on these first few days. I think victor is the perfect sub for raven mains. Thanks for the useful tips. Similar yet different.

Started Tekken 8 with an old main (Raven) but since this is a new game, I think I might as well start over with a new character. Thanks for the video.

This is an amazing guide

Great Victor guide it was very helpful! Liked and subbed! Was finding Vic very overwhelming but hes super fun to play! 😎👍

First Tekken game I'm taking seriously and picked Victor as my main cause I love metal gear. This is honestly one of the better guides cause you explain neutral tools and how certain things force opponent into low only options, and you're right Perfumer is used mostly to close the gap. Hope you make more I hit that sub

Saw the pistol and the sword and said yea I gotta play him. Thanks for vid, it’s like explaining rocket science to me but I’m slowing following.

Thanks for a great overview. Would love to see a more detailed dive in victors tactics for sure!

Solid guide, thank you!

This really helped me get started with victor, great vid.

This is my first ever Tekken ever at 42 as have always played only Street fighters or Mortal Kombats, Thanks for the indepth guide for someone starting out it made sense. Victor plays similar to Smoke and Kenshi combined. He is going to be my main for now.

Ive played lots of sf and mk, but im new to tekken. Im definitely coming back if you make more stuff like this. Great video!

I’ve been playing ghost a few times and realised a lot of his strings can be interrupted. Especially in Iai stance. Spamming that stance too much will make it so they will rock, paper, scissors on your attack. If blocked, then you will either have to do three things. 1. Do not follow through and wait to use power crush 3. If low, then use parry. There are only two choices once you stop. Anything else is slow enough to interrupt. 2. Cancel stance into B1+2 power crush. 3. Cancel to evade a low with B1+3. This one can be interrupted with a string. But heavy hits get whiff punished easily.

Nice guide! A personal thing I like to do as a wall combo after a wall carry or wall splat is 21f > Perfumer 22 It's not the most damage but it leaves me at Lai stance to do a 50/50 mix up for another potential wall splat or a scary low

Took me a long while to get my head around your 1-2-3-4 terminology but having the inputs on the left helped massively with that haha

Thank you for the video.

My fellow Victor partner!

What an amazing guide, just frame pressed the sub button.

Thank you man!!

The standing 2 combo can be used as filler tbh. It sets them up for a second combo after ending with 3.

First time Tekken player thanks for the tips.

Good vid my guy, Victor is so cold in this game 😂

Thank you for sharing, I learned a lot from this video, from TAIWAN

My brother in Christ, I love the guide and it makes me look into frame data for once in my Tekken career. Thank you so much!

you are the best guide maker on youtube! thaks for this video!

maybe its because I played so much noctis in 7, but victor seems relatively simple to me. hes got a little bit of everything, def gonna main him for the first while

Played tekken 8 in a college fair earlier, used victor and applied the knowledge i have from this video and other sources. I got my ass beat since I have 0 hours but the Dragunov said that his ass was sweating for a second, thanks for making it not confusing.

I’m definitely gonna main him. Both him and Raven are in my top 5. Thing is tho I’m probably gonna have to commit to putting in a lot of work with Victor.

I find him easier to use than my original main, but because I’m switching mains my brain keeps pressing the wrong buttons. My reflexes are geared towards the wrong moves right now. He has good lows but you don’t need them too much. What you need to remember are the mids because because he can force people to crouch with his 1 2 combos. My current crucial flaw is that I keep baiting the opponent to crouch, then doing a low. Which anyone could tell is a counterintuitive setup. His lows are basically used to slip up those trying to get aggressive. His standing parry does no damage but it does get opponents out of your face.

Thank you so much for tutorial 😭😭 I love this character but i have a problem interpreting the move set and their various properties

I’ve learnt things I never noticed in this vid.

Been playing him since launch loving him so far. I like Reina too but not as much.

really solid vid

thx bro

Nice

Pretty Cool Character, definitely gonna dabble with him a bit i want to pickup a 3rd counter-hit heavy character so its between Vic & Lee.

I approve this video for the algorithm. Praise be the algorithm

Sick guide

🔥🔥🔥

thx

One of the best distance moves is just shooting his gun into Iai stance, then you have the option of waiting until they run into your 2, or be chased by 1+2.

Nice video. I think it would have been great if you included a punishers section.

what are the best ways to get into lai? df 4,2? and what else?

I got another Q Ive seen ppl doing 1 teleport 1 teleport 1 teleport loop during the lai stance, whats the input for that? I know his teleport back is pressing upbackward & back but I cant do this during the loop

I am new to tekken, how do you set up the wall splat. Are you just baiting out a move into df3+4, are you combo-ing it in somewhere?

Here for the algo. Thanks for the hard work.

Why do you need to sidestep after Iai 2 on the launcher combo before downforward 3? The combo challenges do the same kind of thing without the sidestep, and I haven't run into a situation where I downforward 3 doesn't connect or something. Does it reset scaling or something weird? Just for positioning?

No one seems intimidating to me now that i have masters reina’s move list and know all her moves off the top of my head :)

Perfuma 1+2 guarnatees ff2 for big damage

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but this the first Tekken game I'm actually trying to get better on, can someone explain the numbers? Like what does 1 and 2 mean?

you can also cancel iai 11 with down and loop 11d 11d. And I think you get a really damaging u1+2 after heat dashes that dont launch. Don't quote me on that though

thank you for your effort❤

How do you leave perfumer stance and go back to normal

any recommended low hit combos? if my enemy is always blocking mid and highs?

2:18 i don't know if you turned off heat, but d2 is a heat engager. That' s also why it's doing nothing on CH.

Also a great homing move is uf2. Literally range 3.5 mid that’s homing and safe. Not great damage and nothing on counter hit but still ridiculous

what controller are you using? is it possible for you to show your controller settings?

Hi , how to have a New weapon with victor?

I destroy people with the down back 4 counter hit. It’s not the safest, but the counter hit window is insane and it’s a guaranteed 15% into a combo

Iai 11 has another mix up i don't think you mentioned. Iai 11 hold down will have Victor teleport instead of finishing the chain

i play victor when putting pressure on me i cant hit im hopeless, what shold i do ?i mean a "panic move " or something

yes i know it’s EE-ai it’s just annoying to say 🤣 thanks for watching!

you from birmingham too? Accent gives it away

I main & use only him & im the #2 ranked highest on Xbox rn & red rank as of now- after 200+ matches he’s… fun, but mid tier at best. Side step is meh, strings + mix require heavy commitment & are highs so.. hopefully he doesn’t get nerfed or anything. Also, his warp backwards & gun could use some recovery frame buffs, it takes a lot of frames to recover imo.

how do you know when you have to ss to combo extend in general

Notch 2.0 is Victor in tekken 8 not raven hah!

ff2211 doesnt always work on female characters in wall sadge

Its possible bro, i sean it

His sword stance is Iai, not Lai. Iaijutsu is the art of sword fighting from the draw.

what mid check means ?

How to change the weapon color??

I think its pronounced "ee-eye" stance (iai) no?

I am a victor main

Its pronounced EE-eye. Its spelled Iai.

I have yet to seen a content creator pronounce Iai stance correctly... it's "iai" as in "iaido". Not "Lai".

how to play victor - just grab

As a Lars main, hes absolutely a remake of Lars. His perfumer stance is dynamic entry in every way, the command is even the same. He has Lars UF3 but its just UF4 lol. There's others but I wont go into it. I dont know another character other than Lars and picked Victor to be the second character I learn. He seems like the perfect secondary coming from Lars. Thanks for the video!

He is a bit overpowered in my opinion

Keep getting pressured and dont know how to counter

you look like a grown baby

got enough ads bro? fuck me

Superb guide man. Helped me alot. Props . Subscribed for the tekken 8 journey 🫡👍
