Yoshimitsu has the best laugh in the game. Enough reason for me to main that character.

Something that motivates me right now, as I am searching for another character to pick up, is the constant talk about what characters ppl think are trash or just downright unpopular. All the negativity around Gigas, Ganryu, Lars, Lili, Lei, and Xiaoyu that I see has ironically made them that much more interesting to me, and have took all them to practice mode just this week. One of my fav things about Tekken is the characters. One of my fav things about competitive Tekken is the representation all across the roster. If someday I can compete at high level and increase the amount of Gigas or Lili on stream then I think that would be lovely. I don’t quite yet have a defined “playstyle” so for now, I am just trying out several characters anyway so ... why not yknow? Also T7 is my first Tekken and I have a hard time adjusting to the reputation Ganryu has as unpopular or uncool etc. I love his design in this game and I think he deserves more respect... the outfit and facial hair is an insane upgrade from his old designs

It's a very lenient input

I would like to also mention Eliza. She is arguably harder than the couple of characters TMM listed in difficulty for difficulty's sake.

For me personally, as long it's a character I have fun with, that's what matters to me. I chose Law cuz of how smooth his playstyle felt, and Kazuya for a secondary because of playing him in previous installments.

You can put Leo in the "Good for Learning Fundamentals" category too. Very well rounded character, teaches you crouch dash cancels, wall splat game, introduction to counter hit launch, frame traps, poking, parrying, a bit of everything, really

u can pick a character whos design appeas to you or whos lore u find interesting or u just care about tiers.. u can do good with all the charaters

Great vid, the character roster is kind of overwhelming and its great to have a video like this.

someone in chat said "Hate mail can't stop me because I can't read" LMFAO

As someone who played older Tekken games, but never took them seriously enough to learn matchups and frame data, I can 100% recommend Claudio for 1 simple reason: having the smallest movepool in the game, but with some really good key moves allows you to move away from learning your character to actually learning the game a lot sooner. Since you become familiar with the whole moveset much quicker than with other characters, you can start to learn how to apply those moves in actual "real" situations, which in turn speeds up the process of learning new characters. When it comes to actual matches, with a character like Claudio, even if you have good moves, you still rely a lot more on fundamentals, and since you can't mix up your opponent to hell and back like a Yoshi would, you will spend less time thinking about what to do with your character; instead you will spend your time on seeing and analyzing your opponent's behavior, and how to react in turn, which will then help you recognize patterns in your opponent's gameplan, making you improve a lot faster.

Well said. Pick who you like to play. Don’t let anybody affect you.

I always been a KOF player, so i pick geese, easy as that.

Playing with Bryan since 10 years old playing at grandma house TTT, I will never drop the character ❤️

Really good video. I still haven't settled on a main myself. For the longest time, I've been super self conscious about who I should be playing, more than any other fighting game, because of community perception and how we judge each other by our character choices.

I'm really happy at the general consensus of the community saying to just pick who you like

I've never had a character crisis as severe as when I picked up Tekken. Between Jack, Marduk, and Gigas, I always feel like I'm missing something when playing any one of them

Honestly, for me, if I’m not using a Mishima, it doesn’t feel like Tekken. The appeal of Tekken for me, is the movement, wave and backdash and electrics. If a character doesn’t have those things, It just doesn’t feel like Tekken.

Fahk is my guy,I just love his animations and how his body glows

Absolutely perfect

I picked Kazuya because he looks cool and I am passionate about the character 😊

I picked King because I like Professional Wrestling. It was like being one of the wrestlers that I would watch on TV

I main King even though I can't memorise his throw chains cause he's my favourite character design and lore wise

Paul is my go to char. I relate to the guy so much.

As a Kazuya/Bruce/Josie main, I also like playing nearly everyone in the roster online. It keeps me well rounded. Getting those rare wins with the bears and Gigas is so satisfying.

I started learning Tekken back in the Tag 1 days and only properly with Tag 2 and always played Kazuya. Introduced the game to friends recently who started playing as Law, Fahk and Leroy and I quickly realised I had still little to no idea how to punish properly, condition people, learn the frame data etc and so I picked up Leo and I absolutely love playing as her, so much more fun and way more powerful toolset than Kaz. I think if you're getting really frustrated with your main, just swap it up with someone you think looks cool and enjoy the learning process

Great video. I started playing tekken a month ago with king because it call my attention and it looked cool to me and also a friend who is teaching me the game said that is a really good character to keep with, but i really like characters with gimmicks in general (i play Faust in gg and Lowain in gbvs) so i want to play yoshi here and your video helps me a lot in my decision ^^

Main man I love ur vids bro 🙏🏿

Videos like these are why MainMan is one of my favorites. I wish I knew how to not care what other people think. That probably ruined Tekken for me more than anything. Fantastic video my dude.

Yo i been running Lei for like a week. He’s different to use but I love how creative you can get with his strings. All his style variations keep the matches interesting and my opponents unsure of what to do

I play King because he animations are badass and I love his design with the Jaguar mask. I was a big WWE fan when I was a little boy and I also loved how King could kill opponents without doing strikes or juggles.

I picked Jin because I want to improve myself and I find this character relatable to me

Tbh, it's more on what you think is about the character or whatever you feel comftable with playing. In my case, I chose Kazuya bcuz he is cool, and I got comftable playing with him.

I like Eliza's design and attacks playing her feels nice even tho I lose all the time, but when I win I feel proud of that win because it's not easy.. I'm a new player, so she is super hard for me.. Not super new but like not experienced enough to be good. I love 2d

I think Lee and Kazya are the 2 most fundamental characters, I would even throw kazumi in there

I remember when I played Tekken for the first time (which was Tekken 6, btw the oldest title I've properly played was 5DR) and the first character I played as was Alisa. This was because I really liked how she looked. As I got older, I started to main Asuka and eventually picked up Xiaoyu too, and became very well accustomed to them. I used to only play female characters (kinda still do that), but I've been thinking about picking up Lars, Kazuya and Hwoarang (to give myself a bit of a challenge). I've picked Lars due to those BUFFLARS memes, Kazuya because he's considered the defensive Mishima and my playstyle is mostly defensive and Hwoarang simply because I think he's hot.

All I can say is,pick the charracter you like (how he/she looks or fights whatever you like about him/her)and just go and have fun :D,when it gets hard you have to get better,with training mode,watching your replays,labing charracters etc,the most thing is that you have fun,just try not to ruining it for other people

That intro alone deserves a thumbs up

Ive been playing jin since i was a kid playing tekken 4, just because he uses karate. And his hoodie outfit in that game was so cool to me.

Thing bout Tekken is there's a lot of characters that I find interesting xD, I like how xiaoyu feels, I like Lili because I'm French, I like fahkumram because I love and practice muay Thai and the moves are beautiful, and I like the ninja girl because she looks awesome.. and I mean... I can play a panda!!!

Good vid. Something I didn't hear tho were characters that have stances. Maybe that falls into the design part of the video. But I started playing Leo, Lei, Feng, Hworoang for their stance play. Steve main btw

The first character I ever picked was Steve, he didn't click with me though. But when I first picked Bryan I instantly fell in love. Maybe it's the orbital, his shouts during some of his moves, his little evil cackle, and the way he shouts YES after his bluespark strings. I won't change him. Ever.

Snake edge lovers for life

I've never had trouble picking my mains in any fighting game because I tend to really latch on because I know that the sooner I pick a main the more efficient my time management will be for my skill growth. But the reason I picked Steve is more of an abstract reason rather than picking him because I like his move list or personality. I am biased towards counter punchers and counter hitters. Most knockouts in combat sports are usually the result of counterhits where the attacker catches their opponent moving forward or intercepts their attack with a better timed one. That shit is cool to me and I love that counterhits matter in Tekken as they actually do nothing in other games. That's why I play Steve because I think timing an opponent out is cerebral and Infinitesimally more complicated and satisfying than executing a mixup.

@THENAMEISQUICKMAN

3 жыл бұрын

Counterhits are slowly starting to matter more and more in other fighting games, which is nice to see.

Just pick whoever you feel drawn to the most. For me, it's Alisa (obviously) but lately Kazumi has started to grow on me. But Alisa is, was, and will forever be my main in this game.

TMM should do a tier list on who he thinks looks the coolest

A really helpful guide is Blasted Salami's season 1 roster overview.

Wait a sec. Didn't you dump Kazuya for Marduk?

2:59 what a legendary get up by knee 😂

I ended up maining Leo because i liked how powerful his moves look and feel, and because he she is kinda easy but also has some stupidly advanced techniques (rolldash cancel combos anyone?) so after 200 hours on the character i still feel like i have stuff to learn, which gives me motivation. I think paul is similar in a way (only more busted) easy to use on low levels but also has some technical high lvl stuff that you can learn as you get better over time. the characters tekken 7 introduced lack this kind of progression. They are painfully simplistic.

Great video. I always play as Julia just because I find her fun to use. I never win anything because I suck with her but I'm happy lol.

Hey MainMan! Been struggling with Royal Blue ranks and it would help greatly if you made a high level Tekken guide and what can help improve skills in high ranks :)

You're going to start to feel the tier list importance when you reach red and purple ranks

I started playing tekken about 6 months ago. And I typically go for offensive or all around characters so I learned the game with dragunov. Then after getting him down I wanted to learn an offensive character so I'm playing Steve. He's hype af but hard to play 😂 I still have fun learning tho😎👌

I play Bob and I get comments like “stupid Bob”

I always wanted to learn Ling because she's fast and evasive, I pick her in tag 2 and 7 and recently I learn Nina because of her movement (slides, sidestep 1 cancel mixups). They're the 2 characters that TMM hates but like he said I don't care lol

Nice KZread Video as always, i Main Kazuya i only can play him on 2P i learning him right now on 1P its pretty hard but i really like kazuya.

Also, Kazuyas damage in season 3 is crazzzyyyyy, esp with rage and or his rage drive. He's the OG round robber before Geese got here.

Paul is kinda perfect bc you can cheese in low ranks and play perfectly safe in high ranks

Picked gigas and still loving him feels so rewarding to get wins with him compared to other characters that I use

Would you add negan to the characters to learn the game at a fundamental lvl? he got the very decent punishment, the launching df2 and classic df1.

Leo got left in the closet feelsbad, Leo is a good pick too for learning the basics of tekken helped me so much after picking steve as my first main.

I don't know why, but I always felt like Paul is the perfect starter character to learn, he's like the bread and butter character of Tekken, which I guess is part of what appealed to me so much about him to main him, but interestingly enough, my other favorites are some of the hardest characters to master, such as Devil Jin, Jin, Kazuya, Lee and Bryan.

I think you should consider whether this character will be present in the next game in the series. That's why characters like Kazuya, Jin, Paul, Law, King and Steve are good choices, right?

I am a hwo main... I often see that people don't wanna remach me in online, many people call me scrub, and whoreang main, I often hear negative things from tekken content creators. It's really hard to stay calm when your character considered dumb, easy and zero iq. Really trying to ignore that kind of stuff. So, sorry for that long text, but I feel that I have to speak out. Thanks for reading this, hope you have a nice day!

Akuma was my first main because I came in with Virtua Fighter being the only 3D fighter I ever really learned and having played games like Street Fighter, KOF and Capcom vs SNK for a decade. I switched to Kazuya once I realized how different Tekken was, and I enjoyed being thrown into the deep-end there. Aside from some cheeky hellsweeps in low-ranks, he has practically no gimmicks to use as a crutch. I like honest characters in fighting games like that. EDIT: I'm glad someone with a community as large as MainMan is just straight-up saying that picking a character that's seen as cheap doesn't make you a scrub. The amount of nonstop hate Akuma players got in early Season 3 was insane and really highlighted how toxic the community can be sometimes.

one time, before I even knew what tekken was, King came to me in a dream
