Red Rank Tips - Spammers and mashers are EASY wins. 

Drive-thru: "Can I take your order?" PhiDX: "Thats launch"

When playing Yoshi it's not about winning, it's about sending a message.

I love how the beginner top videos are step by step and super easy to understand and the intermediate videos are just a vibe sesh

Your victor looks like Noctis after enduring some hard years and only now hes getting the help he needs to overcome his crippling alcoholism.

just wanna say that i love the way you explain things during your matches, i'm new to tekken and i've been learning a lot since i found your channel.

Lmao @ 2:34 the Azucena at the start. Cheddar character meats even more cheddar character 🤣 Making a Azucena rage quit as Victor is hilarious. He definitely left his console after that 😂

the shot out of the air was dope.

Great advice! I feel relieved every time I meet a masher in Red. Always great to see more Victor gameplay!

The pure joy phidx had during that yoshi match… that laugh made me smile

you are such a legend for explaining your thought process man

Beat mashers by mashing harder than them with a character that's a better masher, got it. Which masher should I mash with then?

that Yoshi stab was hilarious 😂

Omg I needed this I feel like I'm getting free'd up by some layer one ass mix and frametraps tryna get into blues 😭

Man, again. Thanks for the rationale behind your matches. They help us who aren't as familiar with the game.

@PhiDX what buttons do you have in your fightstick, during this video?

Shooting out of the air.....whoooaaa....that was either the worlds greatest read or very good fortune on your part

6:01 well played LMFAOOO

Not in red rank(or close to it) but I appreciate the vids, definitely helpful when you are trying to get over the learning hump in fighting games.

Hello PhiDX, I hope you read this comment to the end. Great content as always. Keep up the good work! The problem I always had in T7, which T8 magnifies by a large scale is mainly MU knowledge. I study a character, for example Reina, SW this and that, but the timing is very different in actual match VS practice. The pacing of "flow" between hits/stances/mix ups are extremely fast for me to have a completely contained gameplay VS a specific MU. Even when you get +4 frames and you thing it is your turn, heat burst throws all the frames off of the discussion. How to actually improve your MU knowledge without getting your brains overcooked, while understanding the general gist of the game? Is T8 as mash heavy as I see or am I missing something?

i love the mini music sync at 0:24

That endgame Noctis cosplay for Victor hard carrying 😅

I'm struggling with opening people up and my movement getting clipped a lot

0:52 that was soooo cool!

which ardace stick are you using ?

Bien joué 👍, malin dans le style de jeu

As a brand new Tekken player your vids are hugely helpful thank you

games didn't rly seem like the jins or juns that mash all jab strings at you hoping you press anything. they add in lows and hellsweeps which will just launch

Amazing adjust lol i love your explanations

Hey man you can make Yoshi float with a jab when you block his moves that makes him enter his flying sword stance Good tips ggs

Hi, it's my first time playing tekken, and I play victor, I'm hard stuck Garyu in rank and I don't know if it's just hard to rank up with victor at this level or I just suck. I find victor really cool, i tried to practice other characters but Idk if I should commit the time or just stick with victor, since I'm new, I'm not sure what is the most efficient way to be better in this game. Great video btw, hope you could help. Cheers!

Bro nice game well played, Victor is really like Noctis the way you playing him. I wonder if you can customize Victor as Noctis never seen one yet. 🤔

Phidx : Abuse your power crush and + frames Me : cries in Leroy

Can't tell if Phi's Victor Custom is Noctis or Phi himself 🤔

I wouldn’t say they are easy or it’s always that easy to counter, but ya frame trap and then stand block is solid advice against any opponent

What dan are red ranks?

as a new player, the duck at 2:48 is crazy nuts

Any tip when you're tired of your character and want to try another one but you feel like you'll forget everything with your first character and will surely do worse with the new one?

i LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS LIKE FOR REAL!

You want freelo? This video is for you whenever you find mashers now. You must pog. Pog

These 111 and 2222 combos are crazy bro

how do u do the pistol shot without going 222 what number is the move

That outro is so fire

great tips thanks

How does one reset to neutral?

Can someone teach me how to get outta jail vs reina i’m in shinryu and its hell everytime i run into one

Love seeing honest Victor play

Finally hit red ranks, never imagined there's people as good as you so close to my rank, even if it's not your main

Would really like a review on how the points rewards work in Tekken 8. It really does feel arbitrary, not "similar rank, more points."

What's the combo at 4:21?

Victor is looking like a lot of fun !

hey phidx!, any tips for unlearning muscle memory of a character / preventing it from interfering when playing a different one. I mained king since tag 2 and have been playing jin so far in T8. I don’t feel jin is the character for me but when i try to play anybody else i’m just hitting jin buttons or trying to do jin combos and it’s really been quite a barrier for me.

Nice outro

I got stuck on red w/ DVJ but I cant playing mashing cause i got punished everytime

Do mids have a longer recovery time?

@2:02 that hit totally synced in with the music lol

Please make a guide how to escape early high blue ranks: Fujin & Raijin

Indeed Phi! They really are!

I think my biggest problem is when I get ran over by someone who is just pressing buttons and I don’t know their character, I SHOULD immediately stop and go to replay but I just get frustrated and like have to go straight back into ranked to make up for losing. I know it’s wrong but I can’t stop lol.

Oh hell yeah i need this

started playing tekkon 8 myself, i like playing yazuya so far :)

What arcade stick are you using my friend?

Did PhiDx make himself in character custom? :D

Man, Yoshimitsu is so silly.

they never expect you to stab yourself TWICE

Might be a silly question but: why are you red/purple rank? Do you just not play ranked a lot? I would've expected a Tekken pro to be at one of the top ranks by now. Not trying to offend or anything, just curious. Also that outro is so clean every time lol

The movement is the biggest asset in Tekken and it is the single most difficult skill to master.

red ranks really do feel like purgatory though, it's so slow to make progress in them

Is it a normal thing to meet a total pro in red ranks? I sometimes meet average or weak players and sometimes some weird guys who destrooy me in a second

Red is the new Yellow rank?

Heat Haze Shadow on Space stage. I knew we were kindred spirits

I've been having so much trouble in Purple ranks with Victor, man... People just keep mashing on my stance and I can't get my mix started T_T

Do you have any tips to not become frustrated as a new player to the franchise?

mashers still pluggin when schooled in a new game.

Only mashers I’ve ever had issues with are Lars and Steve. Maybe some others if they’re good at being hyper aggressive. Still trying to figure out a weakness to Steve mainly

I have played from tekken 4 to now tekken 8 and this game is the most mashing tekken ever. Everybody is mashing and spamming in this game. Every reina plays exactly the same style.

Man, people leaving mid set urks me a smidgen. Some people online refuse to adjust

6:06 OOOH OMGGG

Thats how you know hes a spammer as well if all you heard from Victor is "sayy itt" "coldlow" "cicka chicya" 😂😂

6:03 PhiDX damn man!

Hey can anyone tell me what he did @ 6:17 to do the gun shot at range?

I just have a hard time because mashers are so unpredictable like that literately press every button at the same time best way is to kick low but I have respect in myself and I don't wanna go low the whole game but I guess that's what i gotta do

thank phidx

Got into tekken after watching your videos, picked up Victor and having a blast so far! And you're absolutely right mashers are easy wins, Im posting those wins aswell 😝 Keep it up!

I finally got to red ranks!!!!

now this is soul calibur 7

as an EU player, I'm offended by your 100% accurate description of our playstyle

that yoshi didn't spam flash tho

They need to make it so if a person disconnects they lose the points and it goes to the opponent.

what is "european playstyle" :D mash out strings?

Not sure I'll call this an EASY win. Spammers online is just .. it feels like every damn match lately.

Phi-tor Chevalier isn't real he can't hurt you

Is it just me or the skill to range level in T8 is the lowest out of past Tekkens? Maybe it’s cuz the game is so new so scrub tactics haven’t been weeded out, but I had a way trickery time getting out of Green ranks back in Tag 2 compared to how fast Im climbing through up to the yellow ranks in 8(didn’t play T7 I stopped playing games for a some years till this year got a PS5)

Victor must be stopped!

Unless they’re Eddy apparently

There are so many mashers in Red ranks, specially players who play Jun, Reina, Lily, Azucena and Law

Can you do some sort of rule of thumb guide for ingame clues and how to spot if it's your turn/when you are likely being able to press. I always think about how there has to be some sort of general system for every type of move in this game that gives away some of this information but i can't seem to figure it out

🎉

Victor is cool but his lows are not that good but it only works during counter hit

It’s funny in this rank when they cant do their pressure string they immediately dont know how to play tekken anymore

It was just WiFi lol I didn't rage quit 😭 my Azu is nasty Raijin now
