Got curious and tested the escape party against the whole cast’s heat smash: Can launch: Alisa, Asuka, Claudio, Dragunov, King, Panda, and Paul Rising 4 punish: Steve, Kazuya Follow ups will hit or need to be blocked: Azucena, Jack, Jin, Jun, Kuma, Lars, Nina, Victor, Yoshi, Zafina Works but with no real punish: Bryan, Devil Jin, Feng, Law, Shaheen, Raven (negates follow ups), Reina (knocks out of HW) Can do 2 escape parries with no real punish: Hwoarang, Lee, Leo, Leroy, Lili, Xiaoyu Some of the double parry ones can probably be tested more but I’m pretty confident in this. Also thanks for the videos my man. Made learning Raven way easier.
I don't know why i love this kind of stuff as much as i do That being said I thought I'd test all the characters with a second heat smash from a stance just for posterity Can Launch: Jun, Ling, Zafina Can block and punish followup: Lili, Reina, Leo Works but no punish: Devil Jin Have to do 2nd parry, no punish: Shaheen
Nice. This is a great way to use parry. I mained 4 characters in tekken7 Eliza, Master Raven, Katarina, and Kunimitsu. Raven is the only character who came back. Are we allowed to make more than one suggestion on the community post for Raven101 videos? A video on tech traps and set ups would be a great one. Here is another idea that all Raven players would appreciate. I find myself playing Raven differently depending on the character I'm up against. A video series on how to counter each character in the game as Raven would be marvelous. For example, I did a lab test on how to counter Victor as Raven. I discovered after Victor fires that gun and gose into stance, Raven's D,3 beats out every option Victor has as long as Victor is in range. You just have to press down 3 immediately after the gunshot is blocked. You can double-check my work and make some corrections if you find anything that's off. Some of us Ravens don't have enough time to do detailed labbing on countering characters as Raven, so I thought it would be a great expansion to add to the Raven101 series.
Working through these videos right now. I find raven quite difficult. Your videos are a life saver. I feel like I am really starting to click with him.
Bro I picked up Raven about a week ago and already got accused of being a Smurf with the character. Watching your videos help a lot. Keep it up bro 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
so good guides and VODs of real matches for the man who first time in his life tries tekken 8, picks raven as his first main char (sounds crazy), already spent 50 hours in game for 7 days and I want to continue improving my raven and that is why I will wait for the next video (unless it is about victor, I don't want to try other chars now)), thank you so much. Oh, and do you have any coaching by any chance?
Very nice technics showing but one thing: Need to be very carefull at wall corner using teleport parries, because if you teleport on wall again you're just... dead. So we need to make sure to teleport on the other side. Been in similar situation and it didn't end up really well as I didn't know you can teleport behind opponent. Also, after watching the last guide with back turn and trying to "muscle memory" it, my Raven at last will become intimidating af.
Will direct any aspiring Raven main to this channel for sure. Well structured and explained, and I love that you show specific examples like parrying Drag's heat smash. Had no clue that was a thing. Do you think it's a good idea to attempt to Escape Parry a generic Heat Burst? It's pretty free if they throw one out in neutral but I'm not sure if it's worth doing
@@imortalXsoul Gotcha. thanks for looking it up, i admit I wasn't 100% sure myself if it works. I saw someone mention it during the beta and just assumed it was a thing
I've got a strong King and a strong Marduk(I know he's not in the game yet) in my local scene. I can't wait to shut them down with the throw/tackle escapes.
Great video thanks. I don't understand tho how are you doing the teleport counter like in 12:02? Does it comes by just frame BB+2/qcf1+2? I did it few times accidentally but dunno how, i can be wrong but i don't think it's in the movellist
Loving the raven 101 series I’ve been studying. I would like to share some of my raven skins with you sometime 😁 PS. I copied your killer bee costume 😂
When doing the Back 1+3 parry into the bb2 ... when would you recommend hitting that input? I have been having hell timing it... I pulled it off randomly for the first time last night so I tried to lab it but cant get the timing...any suggestions?
Awesome video per usual man. Seeing these types of videos on top of your live match content is always a treat. Cuz you always know when to apply each parry for every situation given the right read. You’re the best EU Raven for a reason 🥷🏾🔥😎!
Been wanting to main Raven since T5:DR, But never did bc I couldn't get used to Tekken. I just bought T8 bc of you and Haze. I really want to learn him. Your vids are helping this old man out(I had Tekken on Ps1, lol)
Thank you for the amazing raven content. I had a question. I find myself dying to attack pressure, it might be a skill issue for me but what are ravens best options when being pressured?
Thanks for the tips! Im having a lot of problems with hyper aggressive Victor and Reina. Seems like the low mid tiers are full of them. Any advice on that is greatly appreciated!
it’s just match up knowledge. I’m having the same issues vs reinas just pressing strings. I don’t know the strings yet or gaps in the pressure. Victor not so much, his heat u1+2 is the annoying one
what are Raven's options when back is stuck against the wall? I used to do b3+4 (parry) then 1 (falling sword) in T7 but of course that doesn't exist anymore 😅
@imortalXsoul thoughts on BT 3,4? Only i10 and neutral on block. Its high mid while the mid is not steppable, you can get crouched and launched during it. It also seems to be a natural hit string.
Great video man! Correct me if im wrong, but when the game first came out i briefly tried testing if Raven could B+2+4 parry heat smashes. I tried against Kazuya and Paul since they were low starting heat smashes. But was surprised that i wasnt able to as i keep eating them. But i was in a player match yesterday and parried Kaz's smash. I feel like the recent patches fixed it? Or am I tripping and has he always beem able to parry smashes? Im getting old. 😅
There is a hidden move that you are not using and is also not in the move list i dont know if im ready to share it yet ive seen nobody use it not even in videos
Hey @imortalXsoul I was wondering and forgive me if you've already covered this but, Throughout my experience battling the AI GHOST in Tekken 8, I've accumulated considerable knowledge. However, I'm uncertain if confronting the GHOST in Tekken 8 is an effective method for enhancing my skills. Could engaging in bouts against the GHOST in Tekken 8 be considered a beneficial form of practice?
might be an older video but i might ask again in a newer video but i was playing raven and when i used a escape raven as he appeared in the air he kicked the guy down and used him as a skateboard could you tell me how to do that or in what situation that happens as i cant find it anywhere would mean alot ty. ps thanks for the vids im new to tekken and like raven and your videos are helping a ton thank you for that ^^
It feels so bad to main him atm.they took his1,1 when it was clear the style needed it and they jailed him in on his backflip taking away his mobility .he does not have good combo options on the combo heavy game .only one or two hit combos that are risky ass hell
I was messing around with parries last night and was trying to figure out why some moves let me parry with F,1+2 from back turn and some got me hit...so I have to be -4 to -9 for the F1+2 parry to work?
@@imortalXsoul bruh there should be counterplay on it other than rage art just another one option otherwise its kinda broken its already breaking the rules of throw and jump attacks
