    FrameWhisperer Tekken Will you be doing a vid on how to backdash on a control pad? Also, do you prefer stick or pad? And what's the benefit of owning a stick alongside a pad? I imagine it'll help when you go to arcades. I live in London where arcades are dying if not already dead...

    A better tip in my opinion to play on pad is to use the triggers as multiples, for example: R1 = 1+2 R2 = 3+4 L1 = 1+4 L2 = 2+3 This means you can have fingers on all the buttons ready to go. 1+3 & 2+4 can just be done by you think. And doing 1+2+3+4 means you can just press R1+R2 L1+L2

    Same here. I remember doing this claw grip sometimes as a kid, but I hadn't played Tekken in years and the newest one has highly customizable controls. So I'm fine with just holding the controller normally. If anything is giving me trouble, it's the d-pad, but only for some characters.

    you dont need to play claw, you can just remap combined Button inputs to the shoulder Buttons. for example i have ot set so that 1+2 is L1, 1+3 is L2, 2+4 is R1, 3+4 is R2 and even 1+4 is L3 (the Left analog stick) and 2+4 is R3 (the right analog stick). pressing the face buttons with your thumb is no problem, only a few strings in the game require the two fingers, the only one i can think of is Steve's machine gun blows (dont know the inputs). the only other slight problem is pressing the left analog stick because you need to to it with your right thumb because otherwise you wouldn't be able to input a direction. this method works completely fine, got to Grand Master with Miguel just fine, i can do the combos for every character i've practised without any problems etc

    I play on stick, and for the attack buttons, I have rebound the O input onto the stick's R1 button. This allows me to use my thumb on X, and the next three fingers on square, triangle, and O, which means none of my fingers ever has to move, it just has to either press its button or not.

    Great vid for new tekken players. But like a lot of old school ps players I also use 2 thumbs and 2 fingers on the controller and just remap 2 button combos to the shoulder buttons. T7 also lets you map L3 and R3. Just set it up for ease of use depending on the characters you play. My setup goes: 1+2 = R1 3+4 = R2 1+4 = L1 2+3 = L2 1+3 = R3 2+4 = L3

    I've found myself switching between the normal hold and the claw grip ever since i was like 5 when playing tekken 3 ^^ But one of the things I'd recomend as well is to go into the controller config and set the trigger buttons to the two button setting. Like for example I have L1 And L2 as Square Circle and Triangle X. And then R1 and R2 as doubble punch and doubble kick. The claw grip is defenatly better but this is at least a solution untill the brain starts adapting to the claw. Hope it helped someone. Och för att svara på din fråga ja jag är noob xD

    I just swap 2nd button with 3rd button and use combinations with my thumb with no problems. This set up is changing your buttons diagonal from / to \ and it's easier to use with thumb, it's like it was on sega controllers when i played MK3 where were xyz(x = high punch z = high kick) and abc (a = low punch c = low kick) buttons . Best settings for me.

    I use the Xbox One Elite controller, its actually solid for Tekken; - You can remove both thumbsticks - You can use back paddles for tricky inputs (1+4, 2+3) if you desire instead of triggers - You can swap out the default 4 way d-pad with an 8-way d-pad, super good for Tekken (as far as controllers go) - If you do want to use sticks instead of d-pad, you can actually put longer ones on which make it easier than the default shorty ones - A,B,X,Y are closer together than the PS4 equivilent, meaning you can actually hit 1+2 and 3+4 easier than on PS4 controller, also the buttons are firm and not squishy like the PS4.

    Honestly, I've used thumb grip for years. And I do pretty fine. I bind some extra inputs into the bumpers and stick click. And it pretty much covers almost all the characters. Although I am considering using the claw grip for when I play Panda. The only problem for me with a pad is that the d-pad gets worned out crazy fast at times. Like, I do half circle back to forward. And suddenly the pad skips some inputs and goes, you went forward to down forward, to back to forward. And then nothing comes out. :L Really annoying when that happens. Too easy wear and tear.

I made this a habit while playing call of duty as a kid because you need to shoot while jumping or ducking and stuff. It's working out fine except I'm tempted to bind 1+3 and 2+4 to my triggers because I can't press them at the same time consistently for some reason...Is this a scrubish thing to do? kinda feels like I'm cheating by using the triggers but its honestly the only consistent approach. Also wondering if its allowed in tournaments because I don't wanna make a bad habit of it if I cant do it

    If trying to do qcf from 1p side of screen (left side), place the tip of your thumb on "down". Then do a quick but straight diagonal motion from "down" to "forward". The motion should look like when you're swiping a straight line from the bottom left of your phone to the top right. Also, make sure your thumb gets to "forward" before inputting any attack button. Same thing applies to qcb motion First try to get the hang of doing qcf and qcb motions from neutral stance. After that you can then try doing it during other stuff like combos, after sidesteps or after back dashes etc. For these situations you gotta be aware that recovery animations of attacks can mess up your timing. However, there's a "show recovery animation" option in the training lab that might be helpful with that.

    It's playable on analogue stick ... All fighting games are playable on analogue stick but analogue stick is made for action/adventure or racing games in mind... Because all analogue sticks have a dead zone the other thing is travel distance and all these features make analogue stick not so great for fighting games... D-PAD is much faster and responsive for fighting games....

    Same situation here. I have always played with my thumb but the limitations of that were immediately apparent. This led me to bind stuff to shoulder buttons for a long time but I've gotten rid of that now as well. I've thought of the claw grip before, after seeing some people holding the controller that way on tournament videos, but could never quite get used to it myself. My wrist starts hurting rather quickly and it just feels... wrong. I've stuck to thumb for now because somehow I've managed to get pretty good at it. I play Alisa and her execution is pretty simple and rarely needs any quick diagonal inputs, so it's kinda worked out, but I still wonder if I could progress faster if I learned to use claw. I'm sure it's just a matter of practice, but it's just weird to switch and be worse for a while.

    I've been playing with my thumb for weeks when I started to pick this game up more seriously and I do fairly well, i just use the L1, L2, L3, R1, R2, R3, buttons for multi button moves. You can fat finger some inputs with your thumb but you can only practically do 1+3 and 2+4. This was a good video but I don't feel that playing with your thumb is as impractical as you make it out to be, you just have to be willing to learn bindings you make for yourself that are up on the bumpers and triggers and clicking the control sticks.

    I agree, playing with the thumb can work okay. It also depends on the controller. With mine I can consistently press 2 kick buttons or 2 punch buttons at the same time. It probably depends on a person's fingers and thumbs too. I think with larger hands a claw grip would be more awkward feeling.

    On the PS1, I used the back buttons but also claw gripped for some moves (1+4 & 2+3). But claw grip is bad because of RSI so now I use L1=1+4, R1=2+3, L2=3+4, R2=1+2 and R3=rage, and I just use my thumb for 1+3 and 2+4, but I'm trying to not rely on throws these days.

How i do that? i simply holding my controller the same as i will hold it on any other game, and on the controller setup i edit R1 to be LK+RK, R2 to be LP+RP, L1 is my Rage Art and the L2 button change with the character i play... now lets say you have a move that use 3 buttons at ones? like 1+2+3 for yoshimitsu Spirit Shield - you simply press R2 which is 1+2 and add it the 3 so it would be R2+3.. yes i know tekken meant to be an arcade game so i understand that with an arcade stick it should be way easier to play, but playing with a simple controller its far from impossible and there is no need the change the way you holding the controller. By the way - sorry for the negativity, and thanks for the video i hope it would help people and may we all meet on EVO some day ;)

    tal mizrahi not trying to be rude, but how do you know that you're at a good level? Are you able to easily space yourself and comfortably fish for whiff punishes? are you consistently and habitually backdash canceling? are you punishing everything you block with the correct punish? (using a 13 frame punish because you know the move that you just blocked leaves them at -13) I think if you are capable of doing all of this stuff then you can be considered on a good level.

    Binding is fine but 1+2, 1+3, 1+4, 2+3, 2+4 and 3+4 would all need to be bound for this to work overall, I'm not sure there are enough buttons to make that happen? If it works for the character you main that's fine, but it will probably feel awkward to switch characters in the future. Also, the option does not exist if you should ever be in an arcade, although I know that does not happen for most people. Thanks for your questions!

    I'm at TGP the highest rank in the game. You do not need to hold the controller in this weird claw position. Hold it like a normal person. If you want to know my layout I'd be happy to give it to you. There are small limitations for holding the controller normally (4 shoulder buttons is not enough), but it's not a big deal.

    Jgilbzs You’re not going to magically get better by using a stick. It takes some getting used to. However, I use a stick and I prefer it now that I’ve been using it for awhile. I like it more because of the ease to press all of the buttons. If you are struggling with extending combos, for example, dashing in, then it’s more a timing issue than a controller issue. If your dash isn’t coming out then you could be inputting the command too early. Sidestepping is just tapping up or down. And if you’re using a controller I recommend using the d-pad over the analog. Just practice man you’ll get it. If you really like fighting games, and you want to try one, go ahead and purchase one. I wouldn’t buy one though, unless you really like fighting games, and are willing to lose a lot while you’re trying to develop muscle memory.

    ^ Exactly what FrameWhisperer said. I personally think this is a bad idea, and speak from experience. I used shoulder buttons in T6 and for some time in TTT2 and got so reliant on them up to the point that I could barely play without them. Back when TTT2 just came out, I joined a local tournament and couldn't even pull off my staple juggles because extra binds weren't allowed. Needless to say I got annihilated. I think it's best to just tough it out and learn it the proper way. This way the correct inputs needed will also register in your head. With T7 I decided I wouldn't bind anything, not even RA (even though it's bound by default) and I feel like I'm a much better player these days.

    Not have access to binding in the future? It's been in the franchise since the very first Tekken - it's not going anywhere lol. And any tournament that allows controllers will also allow the buttons to be configured. This is to somewhat level the playing field so stick users don't have natural advantages (being able to hit 1+2, 1+4, etc consistently and not getting hand cramp from the claw grip).
