I Played 100 Games in Tekken 8 as a Noob 

What character would u like to see next?

I’m a noob and picked up Tekken 8, I’m terrible but I’m having so much fun. Every 1 game I win for every 20 I lose feels great regardless.

I cannot stress how important these videos are actually, in an environment where most guides are almost too technical from years of experience players, it's nice for new players to see the natural growth and thought process of learning the game

The thing i love about tekken is that you cant demote until you hit yellow rank. It gives new players the freedom to just learn and not having to stress about demoting feels great

"Kazuya has a lot of new moves now" *Shows 4 hellsweeps in a row*

Props for doing it in the first days, the matches were brutal with all the legacy players starting from scratch

In case no one said it already, @ 38:31 to answer your question, the reason the combo dropped is because it looks like you didn’t do your inputs quite fast enough, which gave him the ability to “tech roll” out of your combo. This is done by pressing 1 or 2 as soon as your body is about to hit the ground after getting tossed like a salad, hence why he did the roly-poly outta there lol. Hope this helped love the content!

I really appreciate that your personality remains so chill and down to earth, I think. You're not bombastic or over-exaggerated like 90% of current youtube

tekken is honestly a beginner friendly game, but it's one of those things where it's easy to pick up but hard to master but i hope this game continues to grow and i see more content from everyone

Tekken 8,it's so beautiful

I only got into Tekken because I woke up to the Kazuya video randomly playing, so thank you because 8 is the most fun I've ever had with a fighting game

I would like to recommend the arcade quest mode to learn new characters and have fun while doing it. It gradually teaches you all the basics you'd need to know specific to the character you choose and a good intro to all of the new mechanics in T8. It also gives a very easy base to build your moveset from and all the new mechanics and ways to connect them, and gives new objectives based on what you just learned to help encourage you to use it all. it isn't a replacement for online play as practice but definitely the best tutorial I've seen in any of the series so far. It would be fun to see a video on your playthrough of it and your thoughts/progression after completion! It only takes a few hours to finish entirely if you dont lose any matches as well!

Yeah as you mentioned at the end, you don't start losing rank for losing matches until you hit Warrior or "Yellow Rank" which is a change from Tekken 7 to help newer players not get completely discouraged. (Meaning you can't be demoted below Warrior the line just stops there permanently) Good stuff though man, Reina can be tough. But her toolkit is insane if you can actually apply it.

I really love how chill and real these videos are, i watched the whole thing start to finish with ease. Keep it up.

From Noctis, To Kazuya, To Reina. Surprised you never played Victor

It was really cool getting to see you improve game after game. Even when you weren't winning it wasn't hard to see new things you were learning. Awesome video.

Honestly your videos give me so much motivation to not fear the rank grind and honestly I'm loving it, I know that getting beat is appart of it and now I'm just gone on a 16 win streak and I'm at Green ranks with Kuma so thank you for your content :D

honestly love this video!!! i would like to see you do this with every character like "i played 100 games in Tekken 8 as *blank*" great video gives me confidence to keep trying and improving!

hats off to you for sticking it out with Reina even if shes a hard character to play amazing video Damn that side step to electric at 36:30 was clean

Best part of this video was you randomly dropping an extremely useful knowledge bomb about how to easily perform EWGF. Just tested it out. It's actually even easier for me to just go for the supposed to be more harder input PEWGF. Thanks for that.

I was just watching your Kazuya one just now as background noise and I just see a new video in my recs. I'm going to enjoy watching this

19:04 They made Biker from Hotline Miami! I want Tekken 8 so bad, mostly for the customization.

I cant stand still by not saying that: I love this content. And you are so chill man. Its so comfortable.

ive been watching alot of new player videos and it gives me alot of heart to know im not the only 1 fucking STRUGGLING xD this game is brutal and it really started to bring me down so watching this made me feel alittle better. I play Nina and she is so aggressive but some of the combos are really hard and i keep nailing them in practice and cant do it at all in matches. keep going my dude we'll get there

Been waiting on this one to come out! Great video lud

It’s very fun watching a newbies perspective when playing through Tekken. Ive been playing, mostly watching Tekken stuff since Tekken 4 so whenever a new one comes up I really only have to get used to the new mechanics and moves. Started actually playing ranked seriously with 8 and reached Garyu with Paul with relative ease so watching this is very eye opening to how hard this game can be even at starting ranks.

I watched the whole video and i loved to see your learning process :> i hope you will make more tekken content in future :))

Super satisfying to watch I plan on getting tekken 8 as a new player to the franchise.

love these videos, wouldn't mind seeing more of them ... maybe you could even revisit a character (like kazuya, since he got some cool new stuff) ... or just play who you like that's also good

You have the best mentalityfor fighting games, especially tekken. The willingness and want to learn. I love you.

I was WAITING for this GGs! ❤

Tekken is one of those rare games for me that I could lose and not even get upset

As a Reina player. I was rooting for you the whole video! Nice!

A few caveats with the binding L2 to 2+3 for electrics thing: A) I don't belive it actually makes it easier its just a personal timing thing, whatever feels better. Personally I found the pinch method okay on P1 side but quite a bit harder on P2 side. B) With this bind the moves you get out of a wiffed electric are much worse to be wiffing, like throws or even potentially wasting your heat burst. C) Depening on the character it can actually makes it harder. Like w Devil Jin for instance who has a grab with the input df 2+3 (so if your not playing another mashima then go for it but otherwise u might want to stick w the 2 input) D) But whateves the most fun for you is what I would go with, awesome content yet again good stuff!

I've followed your youtubes for years and ive played competetive tekken for around 15 years and it sure is a fun mix to see you play tekken! df1 after df2 in your full crouch df4 misses because of axis so you're right! Rage art works in combos. tldr of why it only hit once is because as the opponent slides down the wall after a wall splat there is a short amount of time where they count as "grounded" hitting someone with a rage art in a grounded state wont trigger the whole thing!

Big respect for doing this for all the new players

2:00 I got so overwhelmed when you started to say all the moves you’ll do bc I never played Tekken before but still was helpful

Lower rank Tekken isn’t about stringing combos, it’s about knowing when to take your turn and when to block … if you get that down you’ll climb easy

38:28 What happened here is that you probably pressed your pickup attack too late, so the combo reset (pay attention to the red part of the health bar retracting) and the opponent hit the ground and performed a tech-roll. Tech-rolling is done by pressing any single attack button and it helps you get out of combo resets, because if you don't, the opponent can basically juggle you forever

Love to see you play more tekken

always looking forward to this series 🤠

dude mad respek. Only up to game 28 in your video at the moment but your growth from game 1 to here was amazing. Great job! Something I noticed is that you didn't use any side steps in any of the games I watched. May be worth trying it out as a way to dodge certain moves that aren't tracking. Usually characters have some pretty decent moves that you can use while side stepping as well, if you're lucky it could be a launcher as well so could be useful to try and get some counter hits.

hey man, your videos are really good, keep it up!

Let’s goooo, I watched the other noob tekken video. Still don’t play tekken but excited to watch

Super Ghost battle is crazy. Used it to learn a matchup

Dude I spaz out after a loss, props for keeping it up

I love this video series!!

Brother welcome to the community, ranger is still amazing if you're a brand new player. Keep it up and keep grinding! o7

Man, as someone who is also jumping in with this being their first Tekken, picking Raven as my main and hearing the comment at 3:35 spoke to my soul, haha. Loving the game, even when I am getting dumpster'd. Thank you, as always, for sharing your point of view!

Regarding the dropped combos around 39:00, I think it's just timing based. Probably a bit late in the execution. It can happens that you drop a combo because of 3D but it's usually only when you combo someone that isn't straight on. So after a sidestep or if their body is in a weird position because you interrupted a jump attack. This was neither so it's probably timing. It could be positioning (being too close or too far) but I don't think so in this case.

You’re so real man, I wanna play a few matches with u. The way you react is the way I do 😂!!

If you were able to learn Reina as your first character, pretty sure I can. I've heard a lot of stull about her Just Frames Execution and overall fundamentals but she's just too cool. Definitely picking her up once I get my hands on the game.

Been waiting for this one T8 is so good

keep up the tekken content please great vid btw

king stuff. thanks for playing tekken 8!!!

Since Tekken has been around for so long I feel like it's hard to find long form videos about the game from a beginner's perspective. As someone else who's completely new to the series I related to so many parts of this.

I like this game a lot more than MK1 and SF6, honestly --- I was never a huge fighting game person, but I do well in a lot of fights even though I'll get folded too. It's not too rage inducing and the game is really friendly to noobs like me! My top performances so far have been on Law, King, Lili and Dragunov.

That ki charge from Dragunov 🤣 Damn

I was going to uninstall and give up after how badly I performed in this game and how hard I struggled to block attacks, but after seeing you struggle just as hard and having the same issues as me, I’m going to give it another shot. Thanks for potentially saving me 80aud.

I love these vids would love it if you did more of these for diferent charachters like king and yoshi

I want you to try learning one of the clown characters next. They can be a little underpowered, but with a little creativity you can make the opponent question if they are awake and then you apply the mixups

Been waiting for this video

I've been playing tekken for 2 days, and I mastered electrics in one day because I was so determined to play reina despite how advanced she's supposed to be

these 100 games tekken videos are awesome, try out asuka shes easy

Pls keep playing tekken 8 loving it dude

i started tekken on ps2 and its been years , i finally decided to buy tekken 8 and start fresh. got trashed all the time but my arcade stick will arrive tomorrow though! hopefully will get better i love this game so much (even though im only brawler rank)

Damn I've never seen a hwoarang punch more, crazy

The "Tekken as a noob" series is quite enjoyable to watch

Finally! More of this!

Combo at 38:38 dropped because it isnt a true combo. In practice mode set opponent to do sideroll after he falls down. A lot of combos that work in practice mode, dont work in real match, because in practice opponent just stands up instead of rolling. If the drop with feet in the air you can combo, if they lay flat you cant and they will roll out

Let's go I just finished watching your Kazuya one

FINALLY YOU ARE POSTING

i'm a red rank with feng still learning alot.. you will get there tekken is like 70% practice mode 30% ranked lol

Melee is still my most played fighting game by a wide margin, but of all the conventional fighting games I've played, Tekken wins by far. It's been a blast getting into this game after only playing about 60 hours of Tekken 7 a few years ago.

This was a very validating video to witness. Thanks ❤ - a new player

If you ever do a Lee video lmk! Could always give pointers on how to look *Excellent* & *Marvelous* with your mist step cancels! But Honestly, I would love to see you try out Devil Jin for some more Mishima fun!

geat vid! happy to year you are going to keep doing Tekken videos in the future.

Let’s go a another ludvix video

Things I've learned as someone who hasnt played Tekken in a while, but is at 16th dan currently. when you block a rage art, grapples are the best punishment, in training, you can learn how to punish and combos. these go from low difficulty to high.

As a Reina main this is perfect for me to get better 😂

That last Bryan’s ghost gotta be worth allot

ranger until orange rank is basically people who have no clue of defense and punishing, keep losing to any spammable moves or flowchart improve your game knowledge and movement are the key, keep it up man.

What i love of this is to see how much his "language" has changed since 7... Also his anger lol

2xko tag teams with papa johns would go insane

I feel like you only got whooped by easier to play characters. You did a great job with a hard character. Inspiring

Yeaaaa I’ve never played tekken a day in my life and picked up Reina. Best mistake ever

I literally drpo my combos all the time 😅 even tho in practice they come out perfectly so I feel you

As a fellow Tekken noob and Reina player, we have chosen the path of pain lmao

Hey man I love these videos but I do notice that you struggle a lot at beginner ranks. It's fairly normal to struggle if you are a beginner in tekken since you need a bachellors in spam science to get to green rank and a phd to go even further. But if I may give you a tip as someone who has played a bit more of the game, you seem to learn new moves at random, to play tekken you actually don't need to know a characters whole move list, just a few moves that have a particular purpose, that's what we call tools. Tools are used in particular situations with a specific purpose: is your oponent stepping you a lot? throw your best homing move; do they mash even if you are plus? most character have some form of fast counter hit move that nets a big chunk of damage and sometimes a combo; do you want to start pressuring from the neutral? most characters have some form of approach tool, like a running 2 or a demon paw; does your oponent whiff a lot? most characters have a long range launcher to punish like a df2 sort of move. In my opinion, you are still at a very early stage and I think you are breaking your head against a wall by watching your own replays, it's admirable diligence but you would be better off watching replays by better players that play the character you want to play, watching whatever guides for beginners are made for tekken (there are a lot of good ones, not just character specific, and a lot of the T7 knowledge still applies) and also spending a bit of time mastering your particular characters moves in practice mode. An example would be the fact that you can't consistently perform electrics yet, so if you are playing a mishima but can't electric, you are literally playing with a hand tied behind your back because it's their best and most useful tool, +5 on block, nice push back, nice range, tracks to the left, etc. Hope you found this somewhat useful and I wish you good luck.

@25:40 That's called Knk stance and it's +9 on hit. It's Leo respect tool that you shouldn't challenge. However it's never used in lower ranks since everyone just mashes into it.

Great content. I like it

since u asked yeah, you can miss combos if they are angled incorrectly. can help to have a backup combo for those cases.

Played Yoshi since tekken 5. Never could get competitive with it though, green ranks really feels like the barrier where you get knowledge checked.

I hope I wasn't the only person that saw Ludvix go up against toji in game 87 at 50:12

god this video got that overconfident side of me going crazy like i havent played a fighting game in probably 2-3 years and even then i was only decent at tekken 7 and my main isnt in 8 so i'll have to de-rust learn new things learn a whole new ass character from scratch and get used to using an arcade stick again but there were so many matches in here where i was like "yeah i'd beat that guy" even though i probably wouldnt 😭

@54:10 Warrior is rank 1 in this game... Purple/Blue rank is intermediate. Hope to see a follow up video!

I’m new and joining tekken 8 real soon and ima play yoshimitsu so I have a question how bad is it to start with yoshimitsu?

The reason why the combo kept dropping is because your opponent was tech rolling which moves him out of the way and allows him to get up instantly. If you notice when you tried to do the combo the first two times he would land on the floor then just get up but when you did it that third time he was in the air keeping him from tech rolling. 39:13

Ludvix dear, time to fight me, the Yoshimitsu Aeternum from the tekken 7

i was always wondering how my enemys on the same rank have s+ in everything while i habe a b c, now i know xD
