How To Beat Reina: 5 Minute Guide (Tekken 8) 

Thank you!

Thanks for the sub! More to come

So glad you liked it! I tried to show counter play that can be used with any character

Thanks! So happy you liked it

You bet!

Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!

So glad it helped!

That works too!

bro i just blocked you for commenting that

Me?

You can either commit to block or disrespect her + frames with something like a dickjab

No single option to cover everything bc she’s plus after switching into stance from ff+2

Against characters with really good lows. Dragunov, feng, devil jin/jin, lili and kazuya come to mind. You wouldnt default to low block against them, but you’ll need to block low more often since they get really good reward after their lows

The throw after FF2 is not techable

@@Chris_F so I rewatched my replays and you're right! The Renia was using a 2 break throw for their mix. I hope they don't watch this video... 🫠

@BlazinTre even if they do you got the knowledge

@@Chris_F facts. Ty Sensei.

Yeah it’s pretty brain dead

Julia's ff1 situation

Exactly. She's Julia with an ewgf 😂

Essentially, yeah

Doesn’t sound like a 50/50 after watching this. Is it?

In all seriousness, great vid. As a Reina player it helps knowing what counterplay my opponents may have for her moves. Can't wait for counterplays for other characters, Dragunov, Hwaorang and Eddy are matchups I struggle with personally.

Thanks, figured you were just joking with the first comment haha! I want to get more content for tekken out but I think I might hold off on character specific ones until the May balance batch. These videos take a long time to make and I don’t want the info to be irrelevant in a month

Thanks for the info, thought I was slow on p2 side

@@jayishikawa4150 nope, in tournaments I ALWAYS coin flip for P1 side agaist Mishimas. They are way too good if they pick P1, they shut you down... Although it is possible to crouch cancel and SSL on P2 but you need hitbox/mixbox for that.

Miss Mr3 2?

Maybe! I gotta work on that matchup myself

Hwo is fine 😂. Not need to go there.

I think it’s not so much the guessing, kid how easy it is for her to get in with FF2. It *is* step able but that can be really inconsistent depending on range

@@Chris_F when you have to stand there and constantly block and guess and die something is wrong. Other characters have clear moves or 3 or 4 hit strings and you then take your turn. With her it’s constant fast unreactable strings into stance into strings…. Never ends. Worse than hwoarang tbh.

@paradiseb5950 oh I agree that it’s dumb. I was just saying more along the lines of like, if I were to balance this in an upcoming patch, I’d probably make FF2 harder to use in neutral rather than nerf her options after. This way, good players can deal with it by playing better neutral and avoiding getting out into a mixup in the first place

@@paradiseb5950 I second this motion. I hate characters like Reina and Jun where you can't really tell if their combo is over, because their animations are simultaneously waaay to acrobatic (usually signifying an end to a string/combo) and quick (allowing for stringing or comboing further). And this is coming from a Lars main.

The sidestep is to attempt dodging ff2 in neutral but the tracking is oddly good at midrange

Very true, def not a fun character to fight at the moment IMO

Frustrating for sure, but fighting Reina players is a great way to learn how to deal with people who press even when minus

That’s how know I did a good job 👍

how to say you're a reina main without saying you're a reina main

My work here is done

Not until they patch this character! J/K
