    I can't say how good this advice was. I have never played any version of Tekken before and just picked up Tekken 8. Did my first ever match online as Yoshimitsu against Azucena after doing story as Yoshi. I had absolutely no idea what to do as she was running circles round me. But I just patiently waited, blocked, and looked at what I could do. No button spam. Lost the first two rounds but then won the final three by seeing where I could attack her in her spam. I'm still rubbish but you were spot on. 10/10 thank you for the advice!

    How to actually play Kazuya vs low ranks: - df2 at round start and whenever you want - spam ff2 and auto electric - db4 and hellsweep whenever its your turn and you think they are freezing - try always to use 112(hit confirm the 2) as a block punish - Spam your 1+2 throw, especially after heat engagers or heat dashes( on block) - sprinkle in low jab into WS1+2 If you feel pressured - Use f2 or activate heat against pressure as well - if you get a knockdown spam ff4 multiple times to check if they techroll - Just once or twice per match use uf4444 - Learn 1 easy reliable combo and wallcombo - Have fun

    Thank you, main man. Too many people in the community are coaching people wrong. Telling them to try to play like a TGO at 1dan, telling them to mind their frames and learn kbd, and they lose their minds when I tell them to do what they get away with at their level. You can't go from 1dan to TGO is one step by imitation. It's a progression. Today's winning strat is tomorrow's bad habit. No shortcut.

    @@bruhmoment8326 I disagree a little bit. On the one hand, yeah you can spam B2,4 and dickjab ws1+2 and pummel the brainlets to death, I suppose that teaches you what it feels like when the other guy is against the ropes, but on the other hand you can at least maintain spacing and hit them with demon paws and things like that, something that will translate to higher ranks better. Getting started in T6 I would do 1,2,4 and then df2 into counter hit, and would get big launch damage in scrub ranks but then hit the wall in yellow and didn't understand. Or I thought the whole game was about how fast you can whip out your electrics and that just got me to the point where when it connected it was great, but when it didn't I got destroyed. One could foster flowcharting instead of playing this game consciously

    Tip for Asuka players in low rank. Please start with parry move. As soon as you hear that "Fight" sound press parry and thank me for free dmg. People in low ranks start mashing quick moves as soon as round starts Edit: Ok obviously dont start EVERY round with it. Just one of the three rounds you play against opponents. 60% of the players start mashing 1,2 as soon as round starts and they will get parried, those who dont start with it and see you parry, forget that it lasts for about 2 seconds. They wait a bit then try to hit you and still get parried. Obviously this will not work in high levels

    Hey MainManSWE, love the videos, had to say that I found your how to coaching series very enlightening and it changed the way that I view and play Tekken, I originally gotten to the middle of the orange ranks with Ling but felt as if I only really got there because not many people that I fought seemed to know the match up or just can't block her DF 3. I picked up Jin after watch your eight minute video about him with a focus of fundamentals and practicing what you talked about having a game plan in mind and waiting to see what my opponent is doing and I've noticed improvements in my own game play, that and 1 3 4 with Jin is a scrub killer in the beginner ranks, people blowing their load when they have heat etc, gotten some plugs and people that don't rematch. But overall I am loving Tekken hope I get to play some matches with you at some point. Thanks again MainMan.

    Thank you for the advice! Spammers can be really demoralizing. As a beginner though, I'm worried that if I just use these two moves to cut through the low ranks, suddenly I'll be at high ranks where this no longer works, but I'll be playing against players who are so much better than me that it will be difficult to learn because I'm getting absolutely blasted because all I know how to do is two moves that don't work anymore. Would it not make more sense to try and learn your fundamentals and implementation of your good moves at a lower rank where you aren't going to be crushed for being kind of bad at it?

    Personally, I think if you know the fundamentals well enough to utilize "2" safe moves, then you are probably decent in general. I think that the 2 moves technique is good for just getting wins against spammers. Against regular players, I think it's better to play how you normally play.

    You can and that's how I got better but it will take a long time and you'll have to have a good mindset when doing this because trust me, you will get absolutely obliterated. You will have to approach every match with the goal of learning something new and test what moves that your opponent does is punishable. To test if it is, use your fastest attack that your character has which in the case for Kazuya, it's 112 which comes out at 10 frames. When it is punishable, start experimenting with other moves in your arsenal that come out even slower to see if you can get an even more damaging punish. This is the approach I took but it will take time and only with experience will you eventually get much better at the game.

    I totally agree with the point about players that pick certain characters seem to only be interested in people getting blown up by their main flows. Sometimes even when i got beaten, because i didnt go down easily, they wouldnt rematch! Its just soo crazy to me! How are u going to get better if u only play people u can just blow up easily?? I mean even if you're just playing for fun! Well you're not playing for fun if u do that in my opinion, your playing to try and show off to people that dont understand Tekken... the 'my rank is the only thing that matters' players , I think anyone that understands about tekken knows that rank does not tell the whole story at all.

    I also go into Tekken like TMM, like a noble teacher… who drops 3 rounds while thinking I still have that advantage then is forced to mash if they want to see tomorrow I’m at orange atm but it’s just sad how quickly my calm and studious mentality is turned into 50/50 fiending Part of what makes these guides hard to follow is that you also know when to block and when to interrupt A player that doesn’t know what’s coming might feel forced to press buttons if a low has got them in the past It’s not so easy to know when you can afford to be patient

    It's cool how TMM can simply point mistakes an opponent is making instead of making fun of them. Like, he can spam b+2,4 and win the match and he doesn't call his opponent trash like some streams (*cough LowTierGod cough*), he says his opponent simply doesn't understand that the string is super safe and correct response is to duck.
