Sometimes after I lose an online match I’ll suddenly snap out of it and realize that “what I did wrong” was to autopilot lol. Then the next match takes so long to load that I forget and slip back into autopilot mode.
One tip I do to stop myself from autopiloting is to say out loud my thoughts. I dunno why but doing that, especially when reading or downloading the opponent, makes me not autopilot
I do the same, whenever my opponent is plus, and I press into a setup or something, I say DONT PRESS THERE, and this video reinforces that so you can see through setups and beat certain things
Its a very deliberate & conscious thing to voice your thoughts out loud. That in itself helps you to realise what you're doing instead of just robotically going through the motions.
You're great. I'm glad I found you when I decided to go back to the drawing board and focus on fundamentals. This is good even for experienced players. So many of us are bound by our year long habits.
Absolutely stellar work man. You earned my sub. Been playing FGs for 10 years and I've never seen someone break this down so eloquently and also offer perfect suggestions on how to combat the issue. Keep it up dude, I'm definitely gonna send this video to mutuals.
Can speak from Experience, Hwoarang main for over 2 years. I had noticed i've hit a wall online as suddenly i've been matched up with really strong Kazuyas that saw right through my flow charts and overwhelmed me with their punishment and 50/50s. I then took a decision to play a more fundamental character to have a more concious offense. Took me 6 months of dedicating time to learning and playing Jin&Kazuya to finally have the understanding of the game to reboot my hwoarang and play with purpose.
MFUB. That is actually an incredibly smart way of going about the game. Sometimes it just requires us to take a step back before taking a step forward. I did the same thing with Bryan by playing Kazumi for a little bit.
Hi Peter. Awesome video. Rly. I think that many players will starting to thinking about delays and labing some other, not typical, moves. But.. Today Bryan have very bad percentage into 90% of matchups S3. Fahkumram is 46%. All dlc characters is a real problem. Im started to playing Tekken 7 with yours videos (im played tekken3 only before), and today im Emperor. Thank you for my skill LMAO. But.. Im labing really many times, more than fights, but still have many problems, im waited for Fahk and thinked that its been my second main, but its my hell. Absolutelly broken OP character. And i think that its not my only problem. Help us, Guru (lol). And yes, Goku in video forced to smiling. Im training for beating Goku.
Hey man congrats on the Emp rank bro. Happy to hear the videos have helped you out and that you are actively labbing against characters :) Labbing correctly is something most players probably don't do correctly.
Been sayin this for years. They just play until they find stuff that works and repeat. That’s why hitting air & mashing the fastest safe moves are acceptable even with “pro” players. And I play pretty much all fighting games. At least the tekken community kind of filters and bashes out the nubes. In naruto even as a maxed ranked 7 year experienced player I get mashed w switch & counter spam’s with little to no counter move options lmao somehow I’m still 72% wins without rage quits & cherry picking fights. Do better guys
Yup! Players will tend to find things that work and just stick to it. This is usually how it goes, but you can't really "fault" players for this because most of the time it's within our human nature to do this. The main thing for players to take away from this is to just understand why things work.
Play slower. If you play slower you will find yourself doing less auto piloting. Or constantly ask yourself, what should I do next. Then do what you were thinking.
I got way too many losses due to auto-piloting wake ups and also against wake-ups that should have been blocked instead of rushing down the floored opponent.
Could've made this in Intermediate Guide Coming out of green ranks i actually lacked even the good autopilot skills like taking your turn right after df1 block, i almost blocked 4 df1 in a row as i remember Thnx for the beginner guides though, made me Tekken God Initiate!
I'm a league of legends player and piano teacher. This advice and the way you explain it and illustrate it is close to perfection. Really appreciate the emphasis that once you start to play consciously then you LEARN faster. Even if you make the wrong moves now you know why. If you make the right move it will stick better for future use. It's simple basic advice, but imo by farthe best advice ever for any activity. I'd argue noob gains are made precisely because we're naturally focused on understanding what happens when we're new to any activity. If you keep trying to understand what's happenning like a fresh noob at higher levels of play you will keep growing.
Peter, your video has elevated my enjoyment of this game. The bit about focusing intensely for ONLY one set, thats great advice. At times i forget to have fun and just focus on trying to win and i get hella salty. Its okay to party!
Hi, I'm sorry that you don't speak Russian, intuitively I understand what you're saying, what you're trying to explain, but for the sake of completeness, I don't understand everything, and so well done, it's nice to listen to you. I wrote this message with the help of a Yandex translator. My level of play is low, but I try, I learn, I would like you to create a column on your RU-vid channel how to play against, for example, khvoranga, and so on, I also play for braena but not as well as you. I have an autopilot, too, and I'm trying to get rid of it.
@@PeterYMao You're a very nice person, a pleasure to watch your videos and listen to you, though I don't understand says it all, really I would like that you continued the business, doing video, just wanted rasskryl matchup topic, for example how to play against hworang with Brian, well, against other characters, good luck to you.
Hurtboxes are just the area of the character that can be hurt. Think of it as areas of the body that you can make contact with using your punches and kicks. Example of a hurtbox (the character’s head, chest, and legs). Example of things that do not have hurtboxes (swords, bats, weapons)
Great video content 5:30 onwards. Just one remark regarding autopilot moving. It's done by the big oniony bulge at the top of spinal chord not the brain (cerebrullum)
Peter this advice just doesn’t help in video games but in life too. A little weird but I had that realization while watching this video. As always keep up the great work.
I'm guilty of autopiloting jabs and I usually get duck launched or parried by more skilled players because of it. This is definitely a habit I need to stop. Great video!
Peter, you just bombarding us with HUGE topics. Thank you for content. I remember my first offline tournament, I was autopiloting badly under the stress. I played with Hwo player, we both were stressing. But... you know, stressing Hwo player is a bit more dangerous than stressing Bryan player, haha. I don't remember the matches except the fact that I was doing only jab to hatchet kick most of the time and I just couldn't manage to stop doing that, lol. Literally jab, hatchet -> low parry -> wake up, jab, hatchet -> low parry. So I would be very interested in video about stress management and tips on how to keep your performance high under the pressure. I know that the more you play tournaments the less you choke, but I'm sure that wise person like you could give us an additional advices on how to deal with tournaments debuffs:)
Unfortunately Dovs96, I am not a great person to ask about tournament nerves as I haven't been to many tournaments for Tekken. Though I did attend Evo 2017 (at least I think it was that year). At the time I didn't play Tekken, but Injustice instead. As for the content, I'm glad it's able to hit home for you and that you realize you do autopilot. The most dangerous situation is when players don't realize that they are autopiloting and get blown up by stuff.
AMAZING VIDEO BRO! Touched home with me. I know I sometimes do this. Much more than I would like to admit lol. Need to slow down my pressure in some cases or at least get better with knowing when to switch between pressure, defense or simply slowing down to assess the situation.
Hey man, the tip about taking your time during matches really worked for me. I won a calculated fight against a decent Paul for- I truly believe- the first time. I knew I could extract some helpful and useful info off this peterymao video; haha not to give you any pressure. But I do believe geniuses can handle such things swift and easily contrary to the popular belief. Thanks peterymao. Your work- not just this video- should and will be a staple for all Tekken players. It just has to. Your content is amazing. Thanks again. Peace.
Thanks!!! I was going to make a video recommendation on why things I do don’t work... I’ve been stuck in vanquisher for 2 months, and now I know why!!! I main Bryan and I try not to use snake edge at all, it’s hard fishing for counter hits when I’m so predictable😭
Safe string to high crush launch...i remember when i use to eat that flowchart like crazy until i paid attention...now i dare my opponents to that shxt on me
I agree on this. I was a notorious autopilot Asuka unga bunga player but when I slowed down and read my opponent I was able to reduced autopiloting. But I think we cant avoid it completely.
That was a great video seriously i was total need of this, its 2 month since i started tekken knowning thats its gonna be hard i litterally forget about this thx for reminding , as always ur videos abt tekken are the best , keep making them for us like Beginners u r a big help.
Generally speaking throws are not considered punishes in this game. Throws can always be broken unless it's from the back or you are interrupting someone's power crush. But then again, this is if you're playing a good player who can tech throws xD. Majority of players (including myself) still have trouble breaking throws consistently.
Great video. It’s so hard to get out of this habit. Sometimes I get a few minutes of awareness where all my actions are planned out and I’m fully aware of my opponent’s tendencies but then my brain runs out of energy and I lose it. Maybe the brain is like a muscle and this can be trained to last longer.
@@PeterYMao You can catch a lot of aggressive players charging in that get hit by his 3+4 follow up launcher. Unfortunately, a patient player will bait that out and launch on whiff. Usually, I throw it out like a fishing rod.
As a Yoshi main, I can safely say that we don't autopilot.....we just let the weed do all the work (But if we autopilot usually we would kill our selves by instinct lol)
@@PeterYMao I realized it after watching your upload. I have been racking my brain on why in certain areas I have made noticeable improvements, but in the particular area of offense I've stagnated. The jab situation you referred to hit so close to home. I also was thinking situations where I am forced crouch or block low. Ws 4... ws 4 is like jab to me.. especially when I should be launching.. or going for the low parry. Long response.. but ugh this video really got me thinking.. great job Peter!
Yeah no doubt. Our brains are almost hardwired to go autopiloting. Breaking it is hard, until you get to the point where you have consciously focused on turning it off.
@@PeterYMao after this video, i noticed that i always go for grab when i see enemy whiff majority of the time. It's a really bad habit that had been stuck with me for a really long time. And i know it's a slow process but i think im trying to focus on this 1 thought process for a start at a time.
Your applying the term autopiloting to the practice of trial and error..combo execution and basic survival techniques?..i thought you were referring to repetitve lack of spontaneity in technique...lol
I'm applying the term autopiloting in how I defined it in the video. I hope that was clear >,< sorry, sometimes I might be not as clear as I would like to be :(
