Why I will always appreciate Main Man, he will do some semi-serious analytical breakdown guide video and then just casually slip in some outrageous shit lmao

May have already been mentioned, but there’s a Ghost in Arcade Quest/Super Ghost Battle, that’s designed to help train against Drag wr2/heat smash/d2 spam. Basically all he does is wr2 & heat smash, unless you’re standing guarding he’ll use d2. His name is Animator_YT I’m pretty sure. Great practice.

Sidesteps is like the biggest weakness of a new players, of course character that demands sidstepping to be dealt with is causing problems 😅

​@@smugaladdin8372 Bro i have many hours in tekken i love practicing and learning new things in Tekken 8 but the specific tracking example ( one move tracks only to one side) is cancerous. It should be removed. The move should be either homing or not hominge. Moves like b 4 of feng witch have homing properties but they dont have the homing spark that is cancerous

This is amazing and exactly what we need. Really hoping for a quick and dirty guide on duckable/abusable stuff like this for many characters

Grappling only works in close distance

For that overhead axe-kick (qcf4), if your character can parry kicks then do so. I love to do it in Dragunov mirror matches, and you can parry it on reaction whenever they do it from a string involving sneak.

I think there should be a guide on importance of dickjabs. Recently I found out it works wonders with frame traps. Most guides never mentions this but when you do a frame trap i.e. a move with +6 on block, if the next move you do is blocked you end up being interupted and your pressure is gone. Instead you do a dickjab on frametrap to reset the turn order and continue pressure since dickjab is + on hit and only 10 frames. You can see this in many high level sets. It's beyond me why it's never mentioned... like nobody ever mentions this in their guides. It's definately not something obvious.

This is the perfect video

Feel like Drag being "close range" really just comes from legacy perspective. SNK 4 hits at 3.1 range which makes trying to consistently SSL WR2 very risky now. Hatchet kick also has ridiculous range for a low at 2.6. The combination of these three moves no longer makes drag just a close range character in T8.

I was waiting for 8:03 I didn’t know you just duck the last string drags spam that a lot

Dragunov is one of the coolest Tekken characters out there. I'm honestly happy that he's getting so much attention and play in Tekken 8.

Looks easy in practice mode

they just gave Drag too much, while there is indeed counter play to be had he feels like he does everything. Also why does b4 hit grounded lol, also df2 can launch players after the 1+2 throw if you get up

My problems right now are Jack and Reina. One stun-locks and doesn't stop attacking, the other also doesn't stop attacking and somehow hits like a truck😭😭😭

Honestly I don't understand how dragonov is supposed to be so hard? I've fought some damn good dragunov players but I wouldn't say by a long shot that I see anything is broken about him. It's fairly easy to mitigate alot of his strings. Xiaoyu on the other hand with on reaction sidestep AOP is some straight up bullshit that ignores like 90% of your offense with any character. But I guess most people don't make it far enough to run into that lol

Dragunov really isn't that bad. He doesn't fly around and have special effects to hide and distract what he's doing. This isn't even T6/TTT2/T7 where stepping fff2 was rather hard. He seems like Kaz in that instead of good launchers and 50/50 with zero tracking, he's pokes and throws with zero tracking

Can you please do a how to beat hwoarang Video as well that will be really cool.😅

That is why I abuse sneak 3 and not Sneak 4. Some people don't block low so you can just qcf 3 -> df 1 ->4 > qcf3

Dragunovs like to make me minus 8 but im a yoshi player so i just block until they stop then i d1+4

He came to take the rent

Make a video about every character

The nerf to qcf+4 alone made Dragunov a lot less stressful to handle for me, personally.

I can read dragunov like a book

What TMM is saying is pretty correct but it’s not that easy guys. If drag is right in your face after wr2 you can’t back dash to avoid a grab. Just in general as a drag main I don’t play this way because everyone caught on to this in week 1. That’s why tekken is great though it’s not easy. Good luck out there boys

I'm ngl i can have a hard time with drag because i don't know his strings and super low ranks (me) abuse that, but even still i can just sidestep spam and get four or three full combos and win the whole set that way. The game is 3d

I think you missed his launching sweep that he can cancel into a crouch grab. I don't understand what you're supposed to do against something like that.

Dragunov was almost not buffed. Most of his buffs are T7 to T8 system changes. Changes to wr moves, throws and sidesteps are more significant than his personal buffs. His heat is extremely useful, some characters are not good at forcing mixups in heat, some are.

I'm really hoping scrubs not understanding this counterplay, and frankly even higher level players not understanding how much better movement is in T8 with better sidesteps and bufferable backdashes compared to T7 is so good against characters like Dragunov, doesn't get Bamco to nerf him. He is so cool, very fun, and very honest high risk high reward when you know the matchup. He is very aggressive the way they wanted T8 to play. I hope they don't kill him like they did in T7 because of all the complaining, especially while characters like Feng are so much less fun to play, fight, and watch, and yet get to dominate the game for years.

I need a video on xiaoyu and Lars those characters piss me off I can’t tell what’s going on 90% of the time😂

It's quite nice when you try to actually sidestep his "linear" wr2 and it hits anyway half of the time for some reason

I can't believe I don't see this counterplay anywhere, but if he hits you with his low swipe (d2) on normal hit, he's -1 on hit. If he does any attack after you can hit him with WS4 (since d2 forces crouch). There is counterplay to this but low ranks aren't going to know it. Don't respect offence after this move!!

The funny thing about King is that he has a low win rate
