Yo check out Rise of the Ronin, they got multiple videos explaining BTS and combat.

Lil majin the man who Suplex'd the gods of tekken. The small story behind how he did all that is so crazy. King always had a following. He is a all time favorite grappler of anyone who has ever heard of him. Problem with that, he isnt that great. High play tekken people are gonna know the breaks and King is on the slower side when it comes to most characters in tekken. People still loved him so when a Man went the distance with a fan favorite. He became a legend in many eye's of the FGC.

It's almost 37 level

2:20 The differrence is that higher level players are better at masking the grabs and making them more unexpected. Mindlessly spamming grabs at higher ranks won't work, unlike in lower ranks.

also king has a literal 50/50 grab mixup from his crouch dash as seen in that clip, where the same 1+2 animation plays but it's actually a 1 or a 2 break, you just have to guess

@KyeCreates

4 ай бұрын

Actually, spamming grabs does work for all characters at high ranks. At the very least you have a free 50/50 for 40 DMG and no punish with a positioning of your choice. If you are even a little good, you can mix all of this up with mids and various other things to make people freeze up for even more grabs.

Unlike most characters King’s throws have multiple options from the starting throw. That’s why they can’t tech cause they can’t guess right.

@MasterChief-md1qm

4 ай бұрын

Basic grabs are more likely too work at lower rank to mid rank. Higher rank it’s more of catching your opponent off guard

keep in mind he was going against all Korean top players and Korea was dominating the scene in Tekken until Arslan Ash showed up. But during that year and all time before that, you rarely see an American player reaches top 8 in Tekken. That is why Lil Majin is a legend.

So a lot of how lil majin and high level king players make those grabs land is by treating them like a straight mix up, with the command grabs, they all require a very specific break, but also he doesn't do the obvious things in a lot of cases, eg, everyone expects the shining wizard (running knee) grab when you sprint up to them, so he would spend time in earlier rounds conditioning them to certain responses, then hit em with the grab mix ups to catch them off guard and hide what specific grab he could be doing if that makes sense. King has some really cool mind games he can play with.

Also, from my understanding, King is a very high risk high reward character, and so when you're at a major tournament you just gotta go all in with King, you can't play it safe, and Lil Majin went deep into his "bag of tricks".

Afro keep it up man proud of the Tekken growth you’re goin through Brrother. Keep goin everyday you’re improving your skills even if sometimes it doesn’t feel like it 💯🔥🔥🔥

TheMainManSWE recently released a video on fighting King that does a good job explaining why reliably escaping all his throws is a pretty tall order, and not even the best Tekken players will be able to do it if the King really knows what they're doing. TLDR, King has several throws that require different inputs to escape, but some have the exact same animation and are total 50/50's. So banking on being able to tech King throws reliably against the right King is essentially just gambling your life away

Yeah I always get bodied expecting giant swing and instead I eat a Tijuana twister. I can only imagine how much harder it is when playing against a master at King like Majin

Alright Afro, the blue spark grabs are from two specific king throws. Forward-Half-circle-forward 1 or 2. Or simply just forward-back-down-forward. If you do the input very quickly the blue effect at 20:04 shows up. With blue spark, the grab does more damage and has a smaller tech window. (And gets a cool cinematic camera!)

I read on Majin's own video comments section that people think(feel) the throws are busted because the game (so far) encourages rushdown, so people keep repeatedly walking into throws in the middle of trying to maximize their combo; that true in your experience?

stronger, but everybody this game automatically knows to duck any grab. only way to really get them off this game once you reach anything above green rank is off counters or while someone is mashing. I've masked them, switched up to low dropkick off heat they somehow know to block then duck the grab still next time. super fast reaction. lol

The man the myth, the KING, lil Majin is forever goated

Lil Majin is someone I've been watching for a couple years and i don't even play tekken like that. Dude is a monster on the sticks and has a good personality

Ohhhh hell yea this is dope, ever since i started watching tekken 8 videos i started seeing lil majin vids in my feed ive seen clips of his tekken 7 evo matches and a few tekken 8 matches.

Lil Majin the once reigning *King of NA (*Main King and Iron King). Now chilling in streams and KZread. Competitive Tekken players still use Lil Majin Kings play style as a good reference in the fighting scene. Glad you found this hype compilation. Truly a great part of Tekken history.

Lil majin has 25 years of tekken knowledge bro dominated his local scene for years

I been watching lil majin lately funny u checked him out. I don’t play tekken but watching and learning how to be strategic and combination and timing range. Shows u wanna get respect bro.

Imma have to admit im loving the tekken arc. Keep it up afro

Afro you’ve been doing good, it’s hard to get into but man is it addicting

"this geese guy seems pretty boring" Oh no... No no no, he's the coolest 2D fighter ever

Maaan reacting to those evo highlights again got me hyped. Afro I gotta thank you heavily for watching this guy go ham in evo, this shit literally my childhood 😂😂

Your enthusiasm to learn tekken is not only genuine and honest content that gives me joy but its also hype as fuck because its a fighting game im locked in

man watching these really makes we want to get back into fighting games, already debating buying tekken 8.

Man you hip to Majin now I’m excited!

This tekken series is too good man

You a real one for this Majin the King 🐐

King and Steve, man those characters bring me back to when i was first playing tekken, they fr are my favorite characters and always will be, just keep practicing man, its worth it

Yoooo Lil Majin x Afro! This is insane!!

Bro Lil Majin is so dope man, I love watching his fights and clips, he is my favorite easily.

Lil Majin moment was the hypest ever

Hearing that Kindom Hearts island music at the very end, hit me harder than any of these combos. Great vid my guy! 😂😢😂

Yooo it looks like Afro is losing mad weight! Good stuff brother!

hey man just wanna say that i think youre leading the way for T8 content on youtube, keep it up beast

Much love to the SenjuGang.

I love these posts

Your learning from one of the best to do it in tekken, he is more amped to utilize grabs when he can so they are not telegraphed. lil majin definitely learns the character he matches up with so the counters/techs are there. That and most people are readable. Afro you got this mane, patience and timing, then execute.

afro looking kinda fly with the green nike t shirt and gold chain i see you

I need to see afro react to a top Mishima player. New to Tekken myself and when I saw Ulsan wave dashes, electrics and spacing it was crazy to watch.

Lil_majin is a legend. Super cool, super chill, super humble dude. And he's a boss at Tekken. 2018 EVO was so hype, the cheers were insane

grabs definitely have their own mind game with king. his grabs break the rules of: left hand forward is 1 break, right hand forward is 2 break. He can mixup depending on how King sees you break, making his throws a consistent threat. And he has a crouch throw so you cant just duck. his throws are his counterplay

Majin vs Jesandy was amazing to watch, the 2 best kings in the world. Phildx did a great breakdown of the match

5:13 "why the dragunov" meanwhile man doesnt realize its THE JDCR XD

What you saw in Tekken 7 evo were highlights, in reality he’s not grabbing that much & when his is is likely getting teched. The throws are used more a a mixup to set up other stuff, then when they focus on that they get hit by the grabs

LOOK AT THE TIME LOOK AT THE TIME!!! GOD WHAT A RUN BRO

I gotta say I hope Afro decides to play the story mode so he can lose his shit at the final battle

Wow the direct comparison from tekken 7 to 8 is crazy

Lil Majins evo run was the reason I'm a King main, literally made me fall in love with the character

you should check out a video on what frame traps are since thats what players use to stay pressuring the opponent.... also when draganov's heat is activated ALL of his throws are unescapable.

Afro goat here

Studying ... now this is what i call trying to learn your character 👏

I’ve always enjoyed playing Steve. Would love to see you learn him

Blue spark means it does more damage. Or in hwoarang’s case with his just frame sky rocket, it recovers faster.

i watched this fucking live and as a soul caliber player originally i was immediately sold on tekken 7 after this haha

The ground grabs are definitely still there but they’re a lil difficult to do

Best advice i can give you afro is utilize practice and replays. You have so much potential honestly I would keep playing both drag and king and peep all their moves little by little. neutral pokes into setups make this game. movement as well as course.

The thing with some of kings more intricate grabs, if you don’t tech the first or second move, you can’t break the rest of the grab so it’s free damage if you miss it early

Learning when it’s your turn is the best thing you can do

dont worry about players teching grabs at higher play. The counter to this is mixing up your throw game, no play can break every throw

Yes. Yes Lil Majin absolutely put King on the map and inspired many such as myself to get good at tekken and main Armor King! To this day many including myself believe he is the best king in the world despite his hiatus. Truly an American Tekken hero whos return we all cant wait to see in T8! You gotta get a video with him Afro! 💪🏽 would be legendary brother.

Tekken just hits different

To answer yout question regarding if grabs in T8 are worse than in T7: Throws are actually significantly stronger in 8 due to counter hit throws and the different throw break windows. But they are still reactable and once you get into those blue ranks most people will tech most of them, which is why majin is not using them as much.

2:13 you're right.....can you smell what lil majin is cooking 😂😂

When he was at the wall he did a specific grab to break it, I don’t play but I’ve been watching a lot and it seems to help players when they do thay

With regards with the grabs its more of a match up thing with Lee

aye yo but afro…. WHAT ELSEEEE??!!!!

talking bad on shinblade at the end is crazy talk lol

Yo, its amazing that organically started liking the 3 characters (King, Steve, Dragonuv in tha torder for me) I've loved since tekken 5 (been playing king since tekken 3 though)

11:59 The Blue Spark that LilMajin was talking about refers to a frame perfect grab that is harder to tech (break) and deals more damage, same concept with Electric Wind God Fist (EWGF) that Mishimas use that are super powerful but are hard to execute in matches.
