Damn this guy's been consistent it's almost like the storm days if ure still playing king and want easy grabs u can use u 1+2, db 2+3 and df 2+3. This first one is a one plus 2 break and the other 2 are 2 breaks but it won't really matter because people can't break grabs anyway for the most part Df2 is also a good poke because it's 13 frames and tracks better than his df1 but both are good. Kings df1 is just more steppable. U can also press down + the generic grab inputs to grab crouched people and db when there on thr floor to do floor grabs

@@Crocopotamusmeat watching means like intensely paying attention to someone. “Meat watching” specifically is watching to see if someone is having a boner. “Pocket Watching”, refers to paying attention to how much money a person has. You can basically just put any word in front of “watching” and it’ll just mean it’s something you are intensely looking out for. Grind refers to the long process of working hard on something, in this case, it refers to Afro’s training. Grind can refer to pretty much anything a person is working hard towards. A grind can typically refer to their job, working out, making money, or studying. So when he says “They’re meat watching Afro’s grind” it means people are intensely paying attention to his training/practice for the game

CANT STOP ME NOW

Most of the losses were due to character knowledge things rather than an actual skill issue. Recognizing plus frames is where we can start. Most highs are generally on the safer side. If it comes out of a stance 9/10 times it's plus on block. Slow, heavy mids that force your character to stagger backwards on block (Like drags running 2) are usually pretty plus, and finally lows that knock your character off balance like the sweeps victor and raven were doing are plus on hit but universally launch punishable on block. A good way to check your opponent for mashing is something as simple as a jab into another jab. Once they turn their brain on and start respecting the frames you can do freaky shit like Jab into D2 or Jab into throw. If you're ever not sure about a moves frame advantage the training mode has the option to turn on frame data and you can just select a move from the opponent characters move list to figure out what to do against it. Hope this helps! :)

Yo Afro, super basic movement tip for you. When they block your 2, 1 (the two quick jabs), try sidestepping left or right immediately after. A lot of people like to mash there and you'll dodge it. Then you can launch them with your down-forward 2 and go for your big combo. Watching this training arc has been dope. Keep improving.

Love that you showed you read the comments! I wanna give the same advice so that you have the pro gamer mindset! Just know your character good enough, get to know the in game fighting mechanics good enough (like movements and blocking), and then instead of always looking at your character to see if you’re doing the right moveset look at the opponents movement to be able to predict the coming attacks. It’s easier said than done but with practice it’ll be like breathing eventually.

I’m glad you’re really sticking with this game like you said. 1st video to this one, the progress is obvious. You’re learning patience, acknowledging areas of opportunity and improvements along hitting the Lab. This game is HARD and SO much goes into the results of a match. Like if your opponent studied their Frame Data and all other characters as well, etc. Watching your Replays and those of other players is a great tool too. Just keep going, one match a time love.

"as sharp as a marble this one"

Afro’s black history month buff is active with one character 😂

Afro when i was at your point trying to figure out when to attack an advice Phidx(a tekken pro) gave on his youtube channel really helped me, it was this " tekken is a turn based game" what that means is once you use your attacks or pokes you have to wait for a few moments to see what your opponent does in tekken the offense takes turns, if the oppenents attacks then you block and wait to punish him if he whiffs you launch him, if he is on the ground and he moves you wait if he is on the ground and doesnt move you okizeme( that a thing in tekken) him, or if he is on the ground and tries to attack you you block

Tremendous improvement in mentally from the last video. No matter how good you are, if you aren’t a student you’ll be overtaken. If you wanna see something that really helped me look up PhiDX vs. Knee in the hotel room, it really helped me understand high level Tekken better. If you don’t know Knee is arguably the best Tekken player of all time, and PhiDX goes to his hotel room while he’s visiting from Korea and just plays/learns from him. One of the best educational tools I’ve found.

1 jab babyyyyyyy. That's what I usually tell beginners. Get comfortable with 2 things, 1 jab, and a few key moves. Poke your way to victory.

afro: dragunov is definetely your main, tekken is one of those games where you cant go from one character to another trying to find what you like unless you put a crazy amount of time on each one to feel them out. consider it a compliment when the haters say you grab more than king, they just want you to play king because hes predictable, and dragunov is a "grabby" character, but his strength lies in "pick offs" and pressure. dont focus too much on juggling for now just go through the entire moveset and make each attack intentional and muscle memory.

"a fight is about who is left standing and nothing else" -kazuya mishima

Alright imma tell you afro. From one long time causal player to a new Player. Dont let go of the grabs LOL. It's still good, the problem comes when you use the same grab over and over instead of mixing up the grab, eventually your opponent will hit the right button or buttons and then you dont get that grab for the rest of the set unless you mix it up. Do what comes natural.

The art of prediction is key in these matches, years of tekken exp goes a long way. Knowing characters you dont even use just to know how to counter them. Time to study, you gettin there Afro 💯🔥 i see progress

Afro fuck the technical stuff and the combos. Only thing I'd suggest is practicing patience, that wins the matches. Not panic.

Patience does a lot but the willingness to adapt means everything. You don't want to be too easy to read. He's getting there, he just needs more knowledge.

A big thing that has helped me is going into the replays and looking through tape. The replays can give you moves you can do to punish certain opponents moves. Another big tip is to do a plus frame launcher when your opponent whiffs their rage art because they can still tech grabs. Good Luck on the lab work and love the vids man!

Im always happy to watch your progress or regress

Hey Afro good vid, a good idea to keep in mind is to use the training mode to its full extent. You can do all the moves besides combos and it helps you learn your moves. Just do those moves whenever you play to warm up and maybe do a cpu battle too.

He went crawling back to his ex. For shame.

Way better gameplay than all the previous vids. Good stuff Afro. Glad to finally see some type of juggle combo in a match as well as more jab usage

love these tekken videos big dawg

yo afro, don't worry about haters, just work on yourself and improve :) the most important advice is DEFINITELY play the character that appeals the most to you - play them because you like them, not because they're strong. consistency is key too, practice daily if possible, even if it's just a crappy backdash / movement training regimen, even if it's just 30 minutes, practice daily. i had to drop for a couple of days due to a medical emergency (i'm a new tekken player AND it's my first fighting game), and i went backwards in the three days i didn't touch the fighting stick. last piece of advice? replays. look at your replays. you're thinking it's just watching old matches - nope, it's WAY more. the replays will pause and show you your mistakes, show you recommended punishes, you can take control of the replay at any point and test different reactions to a situation. it's the single most powerful training tool ever seen in a fighting game, and it's magnificent. i'm a leo main myself. made it to yellow rank. dealing with spammers and knowledge checks is hell, but i'm slowly getting better - can't break throws easy, had a stroke a little over a year ago, partial paralysis in my right side and blind in one eye. you've made WAY more progress then me afro, you've gotten good really fast. you can do this. this is good ass tekken mate, keep it up, keep cookin! keep cool, keep focused, keep collected - you got this.

As a Dragunov main myself definitely noticed a lot of punish opportunitys during the match against Victor, but I'm absolutely loving the growth and seeing how much you've learned and are noticing the things that need work or improved upon, I am enjoying watching this journey Afro keep up the good work my guy rooting for ya

Much much better. Nice job Afro 💪🏽

I watched a video the other day that's been helping me. Basically, it's saying focus less on memorizing combos and more on side stepping dodging and punishing. Combos come later on I can't remember the name of the video but it opened my eyes a bit and am already noticing a difference as dodging in low level a lot of people use linear moves so its easy to punish, and supposedly becomes more important in later ranks too. Apparently if you focus on the combos too much early on you build bad habits for later which i noticed in myself. I'm on the learning journey, too, and have been thoroughly enjoying watching you and your personality on this game!

I love so much watching you playing Draganov or just watching you improving is so nice. Keep going king!

your improvement in the last weeks has been outstanding

I love these Fro! Keep grinding buddy! It’s nice to see someone struggling and how they overcome that to become a good player, and I’m sure it will help a lot of gamers! I don’t know much about Tekken, but I know a decent amount about fighting games in general. What you need is overall knowledge of main combos for all characters, frame rates, etc. I’m sure when it’s your turn will vary from character to character that you fight. You know enough and have the skills to use your character and get wins, you need to increase your overall knowledge of the game in general

Beautiful to see how far you're going. Kinda inspired

Take your time man, Ain't no race for improving. Keep grinding brother!

He realized he's gotta get off of the grabs so heavy..🙏 I'm so proud.

the growth is immense nice job afro

Honestly idk really know bout tekken like that but all i know it fun seeing afro play the game and improving.

Fantastic man, Drag is your character. Your patience has come a long way and no more trash talk, amazing! Also to learn when it’s your turn comes with experience and TRAINING in practice mode against every character. Also use down 2 more, it’s a great poke for him. Try and keep a distance so you can whiff punish. Also learn that combo man, it’ll be a life saver.

for you i reccomend the replay system. go watch your matches and turn on the frame data so you can see when it is your turn. also you can take control at any point in the replay to find the counterplay or awnser to a scenerio. i think it will help a lot. gl

Broooo i love your videos, i be sending them to all my friends. Keep up the good work!

Regardless of all the back stepping in progress I'm proud of you for sticking to the game and uploading frequently my boy

Bro is steadily improving. You luv to see it

Bro It's all good bro I been watching from the beginning and you improved a bunch dog I play this type of games here and there and this and that is what it takes to get better of what you're playing and who you are playing with as well so respect

You got this man. Tekken is a hard game, but it's fun at every level. So enjoy the journey.

When Drag is in heat, his ambush tackle is untechable.

26:08, What you did here is one big element of taking that next step in tekken. A low block to almost full air combo. If you block their low that's free damage you don't want to leave on the table. Also kind of a badass combo. You got that far to learn it, may as well learn to finish it out.

Loving the Tekken content Afro, been watching you since Sekiro came out. I am also a Tekken player for many years as well, if you ever get time, try the endless ghost battle modes it helps a lot, and you can practice without the stress, do it off stream if you need too, keep it up bro.

Hey Afro loving the vids. Quick way to improve on this game is to watch the replays and tips. It like literally tells you where to improve, what to punish, and like what strings you can duck in the game

I proud, from the very first match even though you lost. I saw the growth. You needed to know more about raven to win that one but you are more definitely improving. You look more comfortable to be honest. Just gotta keep it pushing.

You doing amazing Afro, it takes patience and it takes learning ur mistakes like a true master, never lose ur patience and keep fighting at ur own pace. We love u ✘

If you close your eyes and listen as he plays, it's as if dad came home drunk in the 1900s

Hell yeah loving the patience, these upper tier matches. Players know about the low ankle game.

I'm happy to see the progress but the rage at the end was what I came for!

Use the replay feature. It helps a lot to learn the match ups and people in these ranks usually use flowcharts or attack in patterns so it’ll be quick to learn. Also keep up those side steps love seeing the growth 💪

you right afro. we the fans be crazy for ya and hyped for ya when ya get a bit competitive. I'll tone it down a bit with my comments and I understand, just i hate it when I see ya progressing to be better, then regress back to bad habits. you are progressing but it seems like bad habits die hard XD so I'm here for your journey to your next bout with the dudes you fought with in the game for shits n giggles. I had fun watching the content you guys produced. please keep up the good work afro.

Afro the answer you seek is framedata. It basically tells you what moves allow it to still be your turn, or if it's now your opponents turn.

Great work! Some advice: select right side whenever you have the option from now on. It'll feel weird at first but soon it will feel more natural. Then you won't have to worry if you side switch during a match.

I believe in you bro, im going through the SAME journey rn in DBZ Fighterz, I FEEL YOUR PAIN

Finally got to see you fight my temporary main Raven. Yeah we will hit ya with the knowledge check. Good fight

You can check if it’s your turn if you have an understanding of your normals and a little bit of the frame data. you can also watch your replays IN GAME, the replay system in game shows and tells you a lot of shit about what you should be doing when playing the game it’s very useful especially for a beginner/learning player

Just finished the Tojo video and there’s new Afro tekken right after? Good ass night

Afro i love your videos i wait every night for notification from your channel be safe and keep striving also loving the tekken series cant wait till you play a different character when your done with dragonov

bro even if people hating, you entertaining as hell i love it! i dont even play fighting games but this is something i keep up with

NGL I usually dont comment but I just wanted to say that I just found you recently bc I download tekken and im a noob too, and i subcribed bc ur actually funny and u inspired me to also grind and finally get good at an FGC game. Seeing you go from nothing to slowly getting it honestly was cool to see keep it up dude ur hilarious and i cant wait to get (hopefully) better as you grow too.

Yo afro!! You know the tackle is unbreakable in heat right? Loving the tekken training arc btw. You got this

We are having a similer journey afro, i have about 45 hours in this new tekken and its the first one i have played since 3. Almost at red now and i can see you learning what i did, that the way you adjust to your oponent becomes more and more imoortant, i tend to win 1 in 3 alot too because they adjusted faster then me. Just need more knowledge and tools now my man, you are WAY better then when you started :)

Glad to see u learned one combo and start string in new moves to it.

I just wanna say, for this being your first Tekken, you’re adapting to how technical the game is. So on that note, good shit bro. Because as someone who’s been playing Tekken since Tekken 2, most people don’t adapt as fast as you have

Don't worry Afro you making progress, you got this bro

Main things to learn is how to feel when theyre plus on hit, if theyre plus its still their turn, and your movement is very static they know exactly where you are and where to throw stuff, also you dont know your counter hits moves and strings that come from them, your fundementals need work first then you can play most characters fine once you have fundamentals down

Ngl I’ve never played a tekken game but I’ve watched all your vids on the game so far and I feel like you just gotta work on your lows and you’ll be good in no time

Best of both worlds, training and cosplay

one habit you do need to work on is just knowing when to take your turn or using back and sidesteps to force openings for yourself

That set between you and that Victor was sick af. Hella growth. That set between you and Feng tho had me dying😂💀💀
