That's partly because you've been playing shooting games all your life though, so you've already developed those skills. Fighting games seem harder as you have less experience with them. I'm the opposite actually. I play fighting games but rarely touch shooters, and shooting games feel difficult as hell to me. I tried Valorant for a few games and got ran over by random beginners... not to mention my team raging at me for having no clue what's going on. I can't imagine how good the actual pros must be. Truthfully, every competitive genre is super difficult if you're trying to be the best.

this was probably some of the best advice i’d ever gotten, first time ive seen immediate improvement. i slowed it down and went into quick matches and now i not only feel better but also playing better too, thank you!

I think your advice is really good because I was stuck at Byakko for like a month, However after a break I was able to get to Eternal Ruler which is where I’m currently at. Your advice is so helpful whenever I play Tekken 7.

Where u at now cuz I'm stuck at eternal ruler?

The point that you made in the beginning really resonates with me and my Disc Golf game. A lot of shots that used to stress me out seem trivial after a break.

I've been having a bunch of fun going back to T5DR for the past few months. It's unfortunate that I don't have people to play with but the limited move lists helps me with frame data and optimal punishes, the better movement has been helping me train my defenses. I've been playing since t3 as a king main but going back to 5 and only using Mishimas has been really helping my gameplay overall. (Trying to play king in 5dr after getting used to him in 7 is like an entirely different character. Even I don't like how strong he is in season 4 lol)

This is a great video. I literally just played Sperogin, and pretty much he echoed the same thing mainmanswe just said. Don't be so eager to attack and let the opponent expose themselves 1st sometimes.

I JUST was searching for a tekken guide of some sorts and here you are uploading this.Thanks :P

I totally agree, not caring about your rank is the key. I had a big issue in Tekken with getting too attached to the outcome of the match. S to not care as much If I win or lose I would say to myself before the match starts, I hope my opponent does well. The opposite of what I used to think lol. When I do this I feel like I actually play to my full potential.

You should switch characters, I bet you’ll shoot straight to emperor with the fundamentals you’ve learned from Josie.

also I feel a great tip that has helped me improve over time is to have a main that you genuinely enjoy, it makes you labbing your character (finding out setups, movelist familiarity, etc.) much more fun rather than sticking with top tiers and not enjoying the process

Good shit Mainman we could all take this very same approach to improve just like you did. You're getting better and better at teaching, too

Thank you Mainman for the advice. I’ll apply them to my play style and hope that that I’ll get better at the game.

Having people to just spar with is super important, especially opponents that can critique you. Instead of queuing for ranked and doing one-and-dones constantly, you gotta find someone who can play entire sets at a time with you, just back to back to back. If you're gonna lab, in the wise words of Sajam, you lab to solve problems.

Big thing: You need to understand that you do NOT play ranked to get better at the game. Also understand that no one cares about your rank. A shit ton of bad players have a high rank and there’s even bad players that have Tekken god Prime. Learn how to win without using your gimmicks and getting carried. Can you win then? Can you win based off tekken fundamentals? Or do you need your characters op moves? That’s when you know if you are even kind of good. Just came here to say this and hopefully some newbie players or players hoping to get better will see. You will get better 1000% faster in practice mode than you will playing online. You’d just have to know what to practice and not say “ok I just did like 25 combos in a row it’s time for some ranked”. Easiest mistake.

That part about learning how to win without gimmicks is so true. When first starting out, I could tell that I would have a much easier time getting wins by spamming Snake Edges and 1+2 Grabs as Dragunov, because I noticed that many players at that low of rank couldn’t deal with it. So I deliberately kept the usage of those to a bare minimum, if at all, in order to improve my fundamentals and I feel that did a lot to help in my learning process.

2:20 "lows are not that scary" Me eating hellsweeps: 💀

I got Eternal Ruler in 7 months of playing. I sat in practice and labed characters I struggled fighting the most and just went into ranked with a mindset of wanting to learn and not caring about my rank. I'm now Genbu with Negan and my Katarina is Eternal Ruler.

Just what I needed more of to hear. I never care about rank but I don't know the right questions to ask myself to improve, how to analyze an opponent, how to go about studying a match up.

So I tried this philosophy out recently. Not playing for rank. Really paying attention to what my opponent is doing, and what I'm doing. Playing for fun. It feels quite different, but was rather enjoyable.

I'm close to 300 hours in this game, and I STILL can't ever decide who to play or practice. Too many badass characters.

I'm writing this in hopes of helping someone who reads this: SO, as TMM mentioned, I periodically suffer from playing on auto pilot.. And the entire timeline of that period goes something amongst the lines of: recognizing my own mistakes and shortcomings improving on some of the things i recognized seeing a positive impact on my gameplay and matches (wins) putting some thought into how will i deal with people who can see this way of playing as pattern, to set up a potential mix up/changing my own rhythm/pace. testing it out. my brain sets it up as template that it's gonna pull out when things don't go my way. my brain automatically goes for things i improved on and uses templates i've thought of about a variety of situations i get frustrated because people download me. I take a break from the game so my brain resets and then i actually get my brain back and it's involved throughout the fights - recognize my own mistakes and shortcomings - rinse and repeat. take a break every now and then.. 2-3 days, it'll do you some good, i swear

Loving the Unreal Tournament 1 1999 soundtrack in the background.

Very insightful video. The advice about not caring about rank is the most important. For example, I used to never rematch certain characters, because I hate playing vs them and don't wanna tank my rank. In fact, I would stress whenever I got matched vs them. But at some point I realised, I should stop being a little bish and play as much as I can vs them, cause that's the only way to learn how to beat them.

Dude, +1000 style points for having an Unreal Tournament song in the background.

Very good video Tmm, i feel like i go through the same feelings

"Ego is the antithesis of all growth." Whether its a good player or bad player always be willing to lose and even more willing to learn. Everyone can teach you something new. Swe is right you gotta be humble.

I stucked at raijin level, thanks for this video ♥️

Constantly rematching is unbelievably helpful, especially against someone you have no chance against. I didn't know how to beat Law and Noctis for the longest so whenever I matched with one, I'd rematch and die over and over analyzing every move. And I'd get closer to the win every single time until I had mapped every move and how to counter it. Don't play Tekken with the sole intent to win AT ALL. Play everything as if it's a training match, but give it your all. Expect to lose and evolve. Tekken is more of an intellectual game than a fighting game, in my opinion. You have to constantly be thinking.

That Unreal tournament music makes the lecture all the more better... Lucky likes U.T. music

Literally just came back to Tekken after 3 months and decided to pick up Kazumi. Been playing a lot of other fighters that requires a lot of patience and returning I'm realizing how impatient a lot of the players are in the game. Been kinda steamrolling a lot of ppl

he is right, i almost immediately went from green rank to orange rank after a two week break; i started to unconsciously low parry characters i've never even labbed before. It was weird

I flew through most ranks to Seiryu just by being patient and whiff punishing my overly aggressive opponents. I can't tell you how many times I have been insulted and called boring for winning in this way. I'm only Mighty Ruler and finding it challenging now but the journey to it wasn't all that difficult.

Yeah the mindset I'd say helps me is to always be learning. Always play differently every single match. If you're getting boddied, try new things every time. Figure out how your opponent is playing and see what they do well and what their weaknesses are and try new strategies.

nvr knew how much I needed to watch this..

Thanks bro I appreciate the words

the guy who ruined Jin right leg. never forgive you

Thx you so much

So true ✌️ my saying is the only way you'll learn is by losing alot. The more you get hit by a certain move, the more you'll react to punish more. How, why an when is my go to things, where can I improve an what am I doing wrong. Who should I use as a counter better then other characters 💪 gotta lose alot to win alot

I started playing T7 about 3 months ago and some things I've learned. 1. Understand that this game is not beginner friendly and you will get frustrated beyond belief. 2. You need to put the work in. Study frames, strings, etc for ALL characters. 3. Work on movement(kbd) before practicing combos. It's tedious and not fun but worth it at higher levels. 4. Online is trash. Everyone presses buttons nonstop and 99% will leave after 1 win. No one wants to improve and play sets. You will lose to the dumbest, most gimmicky shit ever because you have no mu knowledge and have no clue what they're doing. You'll want to quit out of frustration over and over again. 5. If you have an offline scene go play offline!!!

I definitely work towards staying emotionally mature regarding this game. I think Tekken ranked is one of the most toxic cesspools of negativity that I have seen in a long, long time and people constantly throw out disrespectful, immature remarks and it is best to ignore them. I am certainly not great at this game and I do strive to become higher ranked in the game, and it is so awesome to just leave a "GG bro you are awesome" message to others even if I lose. Just because I am acknowledge the fact that I had an opportunity to learn something new, even if that thing was "I do not want to do that again."

well depends , i get a lot angry when i hit many bad timings or when the enemies have huge openings and still manage to block jabs which are the fastest attacks , but sometimes that madness makes go all out and strike perfects with ease , like i was losing 0-2 against a king , got mad and hit 2 perfects in a row , it felt easier than hitting the dummy on practice mode lol

Ngl I usually take like 2 week breaks until I do it again and I literally won 5 matches in a row for me to go to overlord and today I am almost going back to destroyer which absolutely kills me I was like “nope I don’t want to do it now” and I’m getter better and blocked bottom moves which I am proud of myself and punish I do notice that if I keeping doing rank everyday I’ll be going back to the previous rank whereas when I took a break I can easily win. Thanks for the advice

I bring the same mindset I took from platinuming the souls games. A lot of people think git gud means get better at the game and use it as an insult especially outsiders to the franchise but it means learn to take L’s and change yourself fundamentally some of the tougher moments in souls games teach you a lot about yourself and eventually you learn that hitting your head against a wall over and over you will eventually learn and from there succeed

Not caring about rank is important, but only because Tekken rank is broken. Don't take it as blanket advice for other games as well, since most games' ranked systems represent players' ranks pretty accurately. Dota 2 MMR I find to be extremely precise, at least for core roles, as a skill indicator. Here's why Tekken ranks don't mean shit: - No incentive to keep rematching, aside from competitive integrity or lack of players. A lot of times the same shit will happen - opponent plays some unfamiliar character, kills you horribly, then you figure out the character and start beating them. And just before/after you're able to beat them - they leave and take the points away. - Points gained/lost change as you rank up and down. If you play someone, lose couple times, they rank up, you demote. Suddenly, you're playing for 1/5 of the points per match, and have basically no way of getting the points back. - People savescum and reset ranks so often that your opponents rank actually doesn't represent how well they're going to play at all. You can farm several ranks from a bad savescummer, or get absolutely killed by someone who's obviously 5 colors above you. If you want easy high rank - pick the scummiest cheese character, blow people up with strings and cheese, never rematch if you're not 100% sure you'll win, plug people who you know can beat you during the load screen, savescum all the time, annoy people with taunts and ki charges. If you want to improve at Tekken - forget rank, it's as shitty and ass-backwards of a system as everything in Tekken. Just play.

Unsurprisingly, this can be said for any fighting game, 2d, 3d; heck, even for Smash. Learn the fundamentals, and make your movement almost natural because people love to just press buttons. Don't mind rank, just play with heart.

This is actual wisdom

defensive, side stepping , throw counter and punishment stats are more important than tenacity , agility, rage usage, and agreesiveness stats. imo defense> punishment> throw counter> sidestep > rage usage> agility > aggressiveness > tenacity

Something I do is have a goofy ass, gimmicky side character that I'll play when I'm tired of being a sweaty Mishima player. Mine is Kuma, I love him as a character and it's fun to beat people in the goofiest way possible. It's fun, and a good way to relieve some online stress.

A couple months ago i was stuck on the first green rank every time i went up a rank i got demoted instantly and was getting angry. I took a 2 month break came back and went to practice figured out some frames and labbed some gimmicks from other characters and ended up breezing through green ranks. I even took 4 games in a row vs this kaz who would always murder me.

I don't know if anyone else plays Tekken like this, but I was never invested in Online Rank. My motivation was always to be the best among my peers IRL. A win over someone I can actually see and hear matters more to me than some rando online. Then again, I'm an oldhead whose first real XP was with Tekken 2, so the mindset could be called dated/casual and I don't plan on winning international tourneys. I have lots of fun though! 200% emotion every fight lol I like my sweets with a little salt.

I improved alot because I do a shitty back dash and sometimes side step the opponent.... just try to play neutral ... basic stuff. And I went from vindicator to genbu in two days. All because I random ss and just try back dashing... that was it. But I'm a casual player so I don't seek to perfect it. I just try and do it, but it works...

Super guilty of still pressing too many buttons. Sometimes it’s better to just forward dash into holding back vs rushing in and getting blown up.

There's also a mentality, instead of poking, you always use launcher moves, they usually are high/- on block, so use pokes instead of launchers everytime.

TMMS is literally the otzdarva of tekken, change my mind

Was losing to a Paul 7 games in a row. While listening to this video I changed my whole mindset and beat him 4 in a row.

I get the rank part, what I'm having problems with is turtles. People that don't attack ever, or people that are only backdashing and not attacking ever, I don't have fun in Tekken against people that play like that

I recently got back into tekken 7. I dont even care about my rank. If I am in the rank Im in, its because i deserve to be there. I am just trying to learn the game and im not as angry anymore after taking a LONG break.

i've recently gotten to the yellows with steve. I've not wanted to lose my rank but I also understand that in most cases I can win if I'm careful with my gameplay, barring certain match ups that are harder. But you gotta kinda love the grind and take it on the chin.
