inb4 Paul Phoenix comes along

Agreed, keep the videos coming IE!

very kind of you to say, i appreciate it dude!

This is true, its a legit 50/50

Lmao nobody knows when their opponent is on plus anyway

Just be careful cause once you start blocking ff4 they start hell sweeping so watch for that

thanks man, more on the way very soon Also, ggs for earlier

Yup. One reason to throw fast recovery launchers at range 3-4 like electrics. If the opponent throws a slow keep out move, 9-10 they’re getting launched cos they extended they’re hit box.

Maybe hurtbox?

@@Giraffinator I feel like people don’t like saying hurtbox because even FGC pros tend to say hitbox for both

​@@austingoyne3039 i feel like that's massively incorrect, but i guess we've had different experiences. Expanding your hitbox is a really good thing; expanding your hurtbox is a really bad thing. There _needs_ to be a distinction.

@@Giraffinator yeah I agree it’s an important distinction

thanks man! Yeah, there are more videos like this on the way

awesome, more on the way dude

Problem with the community is that the advice they give is either for green rank beginners or for really high levels looking to make a few adjustments, to reach pro. I was looking to make videos on how to improve from Orange ranks to Blue ranks. Which is low end intermediate to high end intermediate. But I wanted to record the matches and the progress first. People just wanna be first and make videos quick. I picked up Jack at I think Orange ranks and I find out that advanced set ups and tips given by high level players don't work against scrubs that don't block and always spring kick. How to get out of red ranks? Don't be ashamed to spam. And punish the spam yourself. You can't use high level gameplay at low level. You have to spam. But will it give you bad habits? You can fix those as you rank up. There's unsafe moves that I can't use at Bushin but they're the only way to stop spam at purple ranks. Spring Kicks. You can launch punish them and you'll get at least 3 per round even at blue ranks. Make sure you punish those.

​@@jinpachichulo7561just so much work for getting up there, and I don't mean 'work' work. Not fun work. Had someone earlier today wall spam me for a quarter bar KO and just got discouraged cuz that's not the point of the game. Respectful competitive is something one can't find anywhere in mid-ranked.

@@bracket0398 You think them not pressuring you at the wall is respectful competitive?

@@IndraX77 i didnt say anything about wall pressure

@@bracket0398 "Had someone earlier today wall spam me for a quarter bar KO"

I'm not an expert, but one concept that is true in 2D games and also in Tekken is that your turn doesn't need to end just because your move is minus on block. For example, as King, mixing up 1,2 / 1,2,1 / 2,1 / df1,2 etc - these are are short strings that can usually be extended or shortened, so the enemy will hesitate to take their turn even if they're minus on block. Using a series of quick, unfinished strings can allow you to (literally) string together a series of turns. If your enemy is always pressing into your blocked 1,2, then it's time to hit them with 1,2,1 (or whatever) and then build off the counterhit. In other words, take full advantage of "mental frames" on moves that can be extended (but you usually don't), or else moves that are quick and not very minus, so that the enemy is not able to react assertively to the minus frames.

Neutral works by either pressuring an opponent to land mixups, keeping out an aggressive oppoment through backlashing and preemptive keep out moves, or by baiting a defensive opponent into whiffing their keep out, again through movement. Pressure works by earning frame advantage to land mixups. through you plus on block or lightly minus moves. You can maintain pressure at minus frames through specific moves, like sabakis, or more generally through movement. If you do lightly minus moves, but sidestep after, you'll make their retaliation whiff. This discourages them from pressing even at minus frames.

I think the 1 is the move with the power crush property, but if they are only jabbing once they can still block after potentially

if a Reina does ff2 on block, you can jab once and still block the first hit of sentai 1,2

Horrible advice. It’s a more aggressive game but mindless offense isn’t what you need to win. Pro active defense is a valuable tool to have, especially if it’s a lot of people who think like this 😂😂

@@BigIronSol yea ik, but actually this isnt the way high ranks think about. It s more about spacing timing
