Giving YOU the SECRETS to Success in TEKKEN.. 

Was gonna pay for coaching but then I learned to hold back.

The pure poetry of dying because he didn't hold back and the blocked subtitle just says 'hold back!' at 4:25

Can confirm - I've been an OG of the game since Tekken 3, and I suck at the game

I am so happy I found your channel Anakin,thank you for simplifying tekken and making it fun for me to play again without making it so complicated like these other channels do.

Tekken is such a simple yet beautifully complicated

I beat so many people just by consistently punishing everything with Bryan’s 2,3. Dude wouldn’t stop attacking with unsafe strings.

Bless to the newly aspiring Anakin shouting out coach Toxicman. Rare to see the youth paying homage to the OGs.

Lmao Anakin blunt af. Dope individual 🫡 😂

Thank you for reppin’ the A Anakin! One of the Tekken GOATS dropping knowledge. Thank you!

This man spittin facts to the masses. Learn the important stuff first folks

All this time people told me "don't hold back" and they were wrong! D: =P

Holding back to block is so important, i wish i had known that earlier. Not doing so can literally make moves that are plus on block unsafe. That neutral block that Tekken gives you is just a suggestion.

As a dragon ball fan, Tien was the first in the series alongside chiaotzu to actually fly🤓 Goku and everyone else didnt learn how to fly or levitate until dbz

6:29 lol the katt williams interview got everybody speakin up

Love the content, yeah back in the day at the arcades you had to write down what moves you were gonna try out because there was no home version of the games at launch.

"You know what i coulda done right there?" I actually answered u 😂

Awesome video @Anakin as a new Tekken player starting with Tekken 8 as King and yes King as the character just clicks with me as I’ve always loved a cool command grab and King has several that can eventually be chained together so yeah I’ll definitely be using your guides to improve at Tekken 8 as King.

12:00 if only that Alisa had a back button

JDCR is such a huge toxicman fanboy. Changed his name to TK_Anakin

If you still think blocking is bad advise just remember this is the first tekken game (to my knowledge) where chip damage is a thing just because it was too strong.

Me as a kid playing T3 the first rule was to learn 10 hit combo of a character n try execute them as much, second if you cannot do that than learn to reversal with Paul or King, Jin.

Want to ty for all of this advice, Im new to Tekken and this really helps in terms of just looking out for what bad habits to avoid even❤

You know the person doesn't know anything about tekken when they tell you to learn anything other than a simple combo to start lmao!!! Thank you Anakin for speaking some actual sense to people, combos in tekken can be easy and are very rewarding, people wanna learn KBD and electrics then get matched with people just swinging launchers and complain that they got hit and tell them it's their fault everything in the world is wrong

Hey this vid was super helpful as a sf player coming new to tekken, can you do more vids like this where you talk through what you’re doing Ty

Anakin 💯 spittin' Tekken facts! ....Katt Williams really got everyone speaking 🔊 👏. Block and Punish. HOLD BACK

Remember new folks learn combos last! You must learn and master fundamentals first

When’s the Reina combo/guide vid coming out ?

Holy shit you make me wanna learn Reina lmao

But what if your opponent also only blocks and punishes?

Most people ive ran into at work friends houses etc. Always wanna say theyll beat my ass but get mad when all i do is jab check them vecause they play illegal. I cant have any fun=(

I got to vanquisher just spamming command grabs. I didn't see any fundamentals until orange ranks haha

Bro you’re supposed to be out here slaying younglings not teaching them lol

Came across you online at one point. Didn't know your name was toxicman. Lol otherwise I would've been more hype

How i wish they would give xiaoyu chunky lows on neutral 😢 thats why anakin is not afraid of ducking just holding back

I’m usually a defensive player, but I don’t have the game (T7 &8) So I get overwhelmed easily by my friend who lives with the game. I’m kinda getting used to his play style tho

tien has moves that can damage people 1000x stronger than him, hes the only one that goes crazy without a power up

Thank god for Anakin teaching real fundamentals instead of fancy pretentious skills like wavedash and pewgf

I love how you went from sarcasm to handing out gems. I think I know how to block now.

thats a fire beanie tho

in chicago we say On god

Reina :( Everyone's like oh she's so cool. DUDE how is she balanced at all? BAD LOWS?!

Those are all good points he made but the thing which separates noobs from pros is the speed of executing attacks and their reflexes which comes from years of practice. You can have all knowledge about the game but defence alone won't get you far in this game. Even with jabs, someone who is faster can outjab you, backdash, punish etc. Some lows are unseeable etc. You can see this in low ranks where someone who is faster always beats those who just turtle back and block not knowing how to punish. Same applies on higher ranks where people have at least some knowledge how to punish with their character. And on pro levels they know all this and every matchup. And in the end it all comes down to their reflexes and speed. That's how someone like Arslan is beating everyone out, just the speed and godlike reaction time. I know it's shitty advice because it takes years of practice and also some talent but that's how it is. Knowledge is one thing but making it happen it entirely different story.

I want to play you. What to test my Reina out

Got couple of players against using this hold back technique and I am frsutrated because it's working against me and I just do the necessary adjustments.

Hold em back i got it

I noticed when fighting that Hwo early on you were sidestepping to the right! is he weak to that direction or is that specific to that stance he's doin

MK players be like: wheres the block button?

Should you put this on school mannnnn

You a foo Anakin 🤣✊🏼

Hold Back.

Great video. Im not a beginner but that was still informative. Just subbed.

Hold back 🤣🤣🤣

Yo anakin u funny af dawg ngl

U kool and all but don't be bad mouthing Tien

But how to win against Arslan Ash or Atif Butt or Knee ? 😢

I try what you say to block then people just spam grab the whole game even if i break half of the throws they can just spam grab. Especially king and he can break floors with one floor slam for like a third of of the hp bar. Practiced for hours just to lose to spam isnt fun. Tekken 8 just isn't as fun as it seemed at first. Thanks for the tips tho I tried them but god just must hate me because it doesnt work for me.

…hold back?

It takes a master to make it look that easy😢

So punishment > movement?

Where are the overagressive ones on low rank? Certainly not EU. 90% play super safe

anakin lies to his viewers for 1 straight

best blasian tekken player?

OG's definitely still got juice in the tank. We may not have mad time to play as the young ones but we still will get in a lot of young ones @s$* . 💯

🔙‼️🔛🔝🔜

Yoooo!!!

Step one buy tekken 8

Special mode? Or what stick you using? Lol

Anakin is a stoner 😂

Send this to every redditor crying about drag

i miss these vids from you 🥲 i improved a lot at t7 cuz of you

For whatever reason the Tekken community really does like to put into people's heads that advanced movement tech is a core fundamental that should be learned early on. It's crazy. Glad someone out here being the Edward Snowden of Tekken. RIP Anakin.

You’re cool asf man One of the few streamers/RU-vidrs that i can watch for 30-40 mins without getting bored

Holding back to win is mad disrespectful😂😂

I learned Tekken with 7 in January 2024 until I could get 8 in February. And I really feel like that even having played Street Fighter for ages (Currently Platinum 5 with Marisa on 6), I had to learn SO many things and had blast doing so! Right now on Tekken 8 I'm Vainquisher with Lili, did all of her sample combos day 1 and lately have been learning to be more offensive and land CH combos. Also I took notes of every key moves, best move to punish depending on the frame and some combos with different starters. I did my homework to leanr and improve

This game is so good!

How to win?... Spam the best hellsweep ever created when at a health deficit.

This is the first Tekken I've put time into and I decided to play Kazuya but my electric execution is so fucking trash. I might just pick a new main knowing that's a key part of his gameplan that I struggle with.
