Tekken Sidestepping FINALLY makes sense! (feat. Maximilian Dood & BoxBox) 

Judicruh and Elbow gotta be my favorite street fighter players

Man i love judicruh

A YOOOOOOO! Judicra is straight comedy! Send this clip to JDCR

Such disrespect to Jay VCR

I remember watching Judicruh and Big Friezas legendary set in EVO

I was just starting to implement aggressive sidestepping, and it felt really good, so I'm glad you're here to tell me to do it a bit less instead of more and more.

11:10 main man 😭

Jokes aside, it was SO NICE to have a less experienced player asking questions as part of the video - they asked a lot of questions I wanted the answers to, and really improved the value I got out of this Also Judy Cruh, lol

I learned Dragunov from watching Judicruh 🤣🤣💀

I’m a big judacruh fan myself

You’re doing amazing work for beginners, it helps understand the way Tekken works more and also good tips to get better, all of this in a calming and entertaining way

Love it! I kinda knew some of the info, but this framing of it makes it so much more usable for me! Thank you 🙏

The questions BoxBox is asking make me really happy because not only does it show that he’s very seriously trying to engage with the learning process, it’s causing him to learn a fundamental truth about Tekken and all fighting games: these games are built on edge cases and sometimes stuff just doesn’t make sense

Thanks so much for the awesome content! Always answers so many questions I have learning Tekken more seriously 🙏🏼

ty again Phil for guiding us, i'm learning movement quite well thanks to you

Absolute gem of a video. PhiDX is really the best learning resource out there right now. I fear a bit that the prospect of labbing all kinds of situations of two consecutive moves will seem overwhelming to people. I think it is really important to get some quick wins! Maybe you could do a video on typical flowcharts to blow up by sidestepping. (Bryan b1 on block into df2 -> SSR to beat etc.)

Great vid! I like a lot your approach, with guide notes and record training examples. 🙌🏻

Love this content of you helping other streamers learn the game. Keep on keeping on. 👍👍👍👍

This video is gold. SO helpful thanks for the upload

Loving the collabs dude! You’re fostering such an inclusive and informative environment in a way so few others do. Your passion is reflected in what you’ve been doing and I’m confident you’ll be a huge part of growing the community. You deserve all the success for your continued hard work 👍

Hey Phi, this is unrelated to this video but I followed your advice on your last video about learning how to punish properly and being more patient and waiting strings out has helped so much, I am almost out of the red ranks :D

"Yeah yeah look at me, I am him!"...truer words have never been spoken.

man these videos are amazing. even tho i am pretty confident in most of these topics, its so nice to see them broken down like that

Very well explained I really appreciate your guides !

This man is a literal god at teaching tekken!

i feel like JUDICRAH is a legend, and super popular...

bro your tips are so good, I will start watching all your videos

You're very good at explaining things. Keep it up!

This was great I hope to see more videos like this in the future.

Great tips man! For both new and returning players. Like Max said "Hold back after ss!?" So many little things we forget/ never mentioned about tekken.

YO this is actually a goated video. You titled it about SIdestepping but there is SO much info in here for HOW TEKKEN works differently than other fighting games for FGC vets who never really played tekken

Great video man. I've been tryna coach my friend in Tekken, and I'm just getting to the point where I'm trying to explain the importance of movement/positioning. Now I can just have him watch this lol

Good stuff. I've been playing for years and still learning

"The muscle memory is built in a time off." = That is SO ON POINT!

Phi your the fucking man for these videos you have been putting out. It's all really been helping me and others. Major thanks! 🙏 Keep kicking ass

I never want to hear the words Virtua Fighter is too hard ever again lmao. This game just has layers of obtuse need to know knowledge and we are lucky to have you explain this stuff in a way that makes sense! Thank you Phi.

It was very entertaining 🥰 and well explained . Thank u so much 🙏

I really enjoy that you're able to go into detail about why to practice certain things. Your channel has been clearer in explanation than even the greats like Judicruh

This Video blew my mind !! Im pretty new to Tekken, its so fun to learn all those complex mechanics.

Bro phidx you getting known and it's well deserved 👊🏾 , what you've done with noctis against arlsan really amazed me. Keep going dude 🔥

this will be a legendary tutorial video for years

Thanks PhiDx this is very good sessions to me as a newbie

Bro I so needed this! I just subbed to your channel. I'm stuck in the orange ranks at Destroyer and I get irritated when I cant evade Jun and Lili's combos

Great info man! Even as a long time player

This video got you a like and a sub. Amazing content, love the classroom type video

This is incredibly helpful as someone who usually only plays 2D fighters. I never really knew when to side step/walk.

So this Tekken actually gives you more options to practice these things. Watching your replays, you can take control of the situation for ten seconds to see what you need to do against it. It allows for you to SPECIFICALLY practice tech against your opponents.

Damn never thought i'd see boxbox opening up the game, immediately looking for a TMM guide and now even phidx coaching 😹 The man who started the whole riven thing for me

Been watching your vids since I started learning, and I have a question. Would you or would you not recommend using "special style" to an absolute noob who wants to set in the basics (movement, punishes, bread and butter combos), and then go from there? Or it would be bad because I'd have to relearn to play "properly"?

What @phidx said around @20:55 says speaks to me. The frequency approach is what I've been doing to learn throw breaking. The muscle memory builds in the downtime.

You’re a very good teacher. Keep the videos coming please

BoxBox had some excellent questions. This vid is a great resource!

Probably the best RU-vid channel for Tekken 👌🏾

Great video !! And it's funny to see boxbox here, I didn't know he played FGC

I only watch FGs casually but I really love Tekken. Saw this got recommended to me and am now subscribing! 👌 Also eyyy Max!

dang this was very insightful

Muscle building is based on the time off. Give yourself time to rest and think, mull stuff over. Good shit.

So cool that you're teaching BoxBox Tekken

boxbox is one of my fav league streamers and i learned a lot from him! yall are both great at teaching!

@PhiDX what are your thoughts on Kuma side swap paw and big wind up low paw? It seems like that move is guaranteed or maybe it just Im only person getting hit by that even on the ground with quick stand up

Wow biggest advice I’ve ever heard or seen thanks

4:10 Not sure if it comes up later, but for anyone wondering how this move gets away being only -6, it doesn't launch crouchers, instead becoming +5 on hit. So low reward for calling out crouchers, but great for frame traps or punishes.

Damn. This guy is asking the question I didn’t even know I should be asking. GG

Thank you, Sensei.

Man that wave dash is highly unnoticeable

Excellent guide.

DoA has its RPS, but Tekken has its own take on RPS. This helps so much. Game changing detail. Thanks Sensei

hey, i havent had much time to catch you live but i have a favor to ask: i would really love a video (even if its a short one) where you breakdown round starts and what player especially beginner need to expect or aim for when a round start. now i am nowhere near to a good tekken player but i am also improving and the beginning of tekken rounds reminds me of chess games where people have different kinds of behaviour starting a round, thats why i would love to see you breaking down the important things of beginnings of a round. thanks!

Feels like being at Tekken University, great stuff! And you sir are truly a PhD.

man ive been trying to get sidesteps since tekken 7 and u taught me this quick lmao

On the point at 21:40 , Different people play the same character in a different style. It's amazing because it shows how they all can come up with their own style and at the same time it's tough because you can't learn to memorize all of their styles. So yeah, 8 or 24 hour lab against a single character does not mean you can beat all the players in the world who use that character. It's impossible. Muscle memory improves over time with experience and by playing lots of people you're exposed to new techniques and setups, and your mind needs time to adapt to them in order for muscle memory to kick in.

Fun fact about DJ MC you can OS jab both MC1 and MC3 gotta delay the jab a tiny bit so it still blocks MC22 and MC4

Love the vids, any chance for some kind of general wall combo guide? I'm not really sure what to do after a wall splat outside of memorising lots of combos for every distance from the wall.

phiduxuh really uppin the content

especially when reina clipps you with her electicleg move or df 2 and you are pretty much on her back already

I love sidestepping now. I felt so proud of myself the other day when I sidewalked to the center of the ring so I didn’t have to deal with wall-carry combos. It just adds a whole new layer to the match that’s fun to explore. 3D is all I need. 😉

Ok ok side step left. Gotta download that teck

That Lili short shorts is chef's kiss

I forgot to comment on this video. This was one of the greatest explanations.

What peripherals are you using? Knee lever and what buttons? Also what gate do you have square or 8? I’m new to arcade stick. And I’m liking the feel but my lever and gate is idk. Octagonal was causing me to lose where I was and square has me trying to block but I fall in the bottom corner and get punish.

ROAD TO 100K SUBS PHI !!! GO FOR IT BRO !!!

Jidicr is the sound you make when you get hit by those electrics

Hi, It's unrelated to the video but does anyone know which notepad is the one phi is always using, I'm using notes a lot since tekken8 start but I really can't find a note app that looks as clean as the one he uses :c

great video!

godlike video brother. you are a great teacher

Never thought I’d see max and boxbox in the same video 😂

Phidx, can you help me? In your opinion, what is the best restrictor to play tekken?

max and boxbox together in one video. never wouldve seen that coming

Judicruh and Kanee are 2 legends! watching them helped me a lot too! I like that new guy R-slaan. He's quite good too.

Do you have any videos for the wake up and oki? That was like a culture shock last time lol.

Still learning how to Tekken 8, loving the content man! Also as a Kaz main, I do in fact, get my Dopamine by wave dashing :')....

The learning curve to tekken now has gotten so much steeper I feel but it's still a game to have fun

21:02 Omg. Now that I hear it myself I finally understand it. It really is that way. So often I trained combos and stuff but wasn't consistent and the next day all of a sudden it clicked.

Banger vid

Another masterpiece video! Seriously! Question? Can I link your Knee jab breakdown video to the comments of one of my streams? I’d like to reference it and push my whopping 385 subs to see it.

I'd say stepping only is buffed situationally cause there's a lot more scenarios you have to guess. However, I really liked this video!

I play TFT and Tekken and i watch boxbox a lot playing TFT and he always talks about playing tekken and playing oscar, never thought id see him in this channel lmao

Might be a dumb question but I have to be sure. Is it ok to test things with the CPU reacting (1 : Blocking -> 2: ssl /ssr / wsl / wsr) or should I always record and test on myself?

Find someone who loves you the way phidx loves himself when he evades something in example when he was supposed to take hit. 😂

11:58 called me out harder than it should of
