When I was malding, there is 1 thing I will stand by. If you leave immediately after you win one match in any fighting game, Fuck you.

I love how he technically didnt get the combo ender correct but it served as an oki setup and still worked everytime lmao

One thing about this game is that the more you play the more addictive it becomes as you learn more and more. Great video though I'm looking forward to seeing more.

My advice is dont rely too much on rage art, if you get baited you just have to pray to Harada that your opponent mess up the punish. Instead, try to use Rage Drive to force a mix up because like you said, Fahk is good at mix up

Love watching a new player taking Tekken seriously, malding included. Keep it up fam

This video reminds me of my experience when I first started as well. Hope you enjoyed Tekken man, welcome to the community and it would be great to see you play T8 when it's out!

if you're having fun, you're winning even while losing. this is a strong philosophy for tekken lmao, especially while maining yoshi

Wow. It has been a while since I found a tekken video that has kept my attention like this, amazing work.

Stuck with it bro tekken is fun bro there’s a learning curve but it becomes and addiction as you slowly improve

Glad to see a new player from other fighting games giving Tekken a shot. Good luck

As a person who is also getting into Tekken in the last few months, the main thing I've been told while it be my older brothers who whoop me in the game, or people online. Patience is key, my thing was I was getting caught while trying to press against people's combos (a good bit of mashing there too, trying to unlearn mashing) and spacing. I'm glad you decided to look for pokes and more about your character! I would like throw in there as a bit of advice, dunno if its gonna serve you well is incorporating how YOU play the game, BnB's are awesome, but how you play Fahkumram also makes the character. Throw in some grabs, as well as learning Counter Hit combos, getting used to side stepping and whatnot. Like you stated in your video as well as TMM, take a break, whether it be a day or two, or a couple of weeks, Tekken will be there if you decide to come back. 😎👍

I was a bit skeptical when you were editing out your losses but when you said "I don't want to play Tekken it's not fun!" I thought 'yea this guy get's it.'

This was a fun watch! I hope to see you in Tekken 8, it's never too late to get into the series! Tekken is a big game and there's a lot of stuff to learn! Be patient and ask good questions from smart people is my only advice I'm posting lol *Edit* actually huge advice. That combo ender you use isn't a true combo. They can and eventually will tech roll and block it to launch you

you are taking learning the game the right way! going to practice mode is the golden. hitting up ranked or quick matches will be frustrating without practice. keep it up!

Congrats and welcome dude, Tekken is a fun game with a huge path to walk, and I'm happy that more and more people are trying this marvelous game. Stay playing =)

That vídeo is really good, try doing more of fighting games

Now this is some high quality stuff. The Tekken grind definitely is an odd but fun one

I have just bought Tekken 7 earlier today and wanted to try the online match since watching others playing was very entertaining

Stick with it! Love that you use good songs and tell their titles too haha

a video I can relate to, I literally just bought it a few days ago but experiencing pain and stress from buying it HAHAHA but still gives me a lot of fun when I win and learn more. Hoping to see more progress from you bro ;))

First match online and it's a Wi-Fi Law, couldn't be better. Cool vid, keep it up.

Great song choices!

Great song choice. There were a lot of songs I have on my playlist and even added to my playlist from your video. It's always nice to see a new player getting into tekken and even people who make these beginners experience videos. Always great to see and I really hope you stick with it because it's so sick!

Here for you journey man. I'm only like a few months ahead of you.

nice gameplay some advice is that when you do df14~32 with fah (the ending of your combo) then run or dash up then do it otherwise it won't count if the redness of the healthbar goes away then its not counted as a real combo but rather a float if you mash 3 or 4 you can techroll out of it but what you did is float and oki which isn't bad but generally you would want to kill your opponent as fast as possible without giving them a chance to retaliate good luck

the panic ragearts are strong with this one

Keep it up. You will fall in love with this game.

Keep practicing and you get better and better. and yes too addictive than any other fighting game. I myself was total noob when i started 6 months ago but now i'm on tekken god rank. i am looking forward seeing more of your videos.

I love that Heisenberg cameo.

fahkumram is useful when it comes to walls so whenever you're near to the wall, try pressing F324~3(hold) or 3 4~3(hold) or 4 3~4(hold) it will break the opponent guard so that you can do b+3+4+2 OR rage drive and using 3 4~3 it has a +14 frame advantage so it will be useful in rank matches, offline matches, tournaments etc.

Pretty freakin good for your first time!

a new fahk has appeared?! 👀

Just a heads up on fahk, without the initial dash after the 34~4 screw, df1 , 4~3, 2 isn't natural and therefore isn't guaranteed. Anyone who's got a read on tht can easily block low and punish you heavily for tht. I suggest just going for something simple like a ff21 or a simple f1+2 as an ender. But then again some players do intentionally drop their combos just to mind screw an opponent.

Hey great vid man, one thing about your combos, those are great combos but maybe it wasnt written where you read the combo but you have to dash in before the df1,4,3,2

Great idea with this video, since there are so many high level tekken online and little to how about starting your adventure with the series. Even tutorial vids only tell you to go for difficult stuff since "Its optimal". Coming from the same background I had really similiar struggles with this having no reference that normal people dont get to high ranks after 11 matches like everyone on YT. Too bad no one told you in the beginning of your journey that learning movement is the most important thing here and that it is nothing like any other fighting game. Keep up the good work!

the new player experience resumed: "you can play decently until someone starts throwing low blows"

Interesting video! I got a couple bits of advice. 1. Identify your key moves. Most characters can create a functional gameplan using a total of around 10 moves total. It helps reduce your mental stack and focus more on your opponent. Tekken Library has a whole spreadsheet for every character in the game gnat identifies these moves. 2. Use safer, faster moves. Something I noticed is that you tend to press slower, commital buttons. Moves like 1, df1, and moves with crushing properties (evasive moves), are going to be a god send. 3. Your opponents, especially in lower ranks, are going to be mashing. Using moves like df1 as a quick mid check, or CH launchers like magic 4 will shut down their mashing and let you rake in BIG damage. Let them do the work for you. 4. Tekken has a LOT of gimmicky bullshit. Lucky Chloes low mid kick spam, laws junkyard, etc. When faced with something like that, don't get tilted. Instead, try to identify what exactly is tripping you up, and then counter it. Usually comes in the form of low parrying, or sidestepping. You seem to be on the right track so far, and I can't wait to see how you improve! Plus I'm always down to lend a hand if you want a training buddy. Cheers!

I really hope to see more of your Tekken 7 journey. I got my Leo to Byakko (red rank) today, and I still mald to hell and back. I love seeing you learn this game and hope for more Tekken 7 vids focusing on your growth. Great editing, and I love the inclusion of your malding; great content!

W vid❤

Fahk is a good first char. you have to keep in mind the devs nerfed his frames heavily, so kater in ranks he wont be as good as against newbies. i recommend you to check the character u want to learn, their top 10 moves. these moves give u a general idea how to play with the given character. for example fahks 3 is one of his best move

Hey just wanted to let you know about that Fahk combo you were practicing: You want to dash in after the screw so that the df1,4~3,2 hits naturally. Otherwise it drops.

in tekken the best thing to first learn is punishing moves and trying using them after you block ANYTHING, start from trying using 10f punish if it hits memorise, try using 12f on that same move and so on and so forth, i mean bnb combos are good aswel, but every time you press df2,3 opponent can duck the second hit and launch you instead

You can do the rage art after you end the combo with 3,4,4 instead doing it right after df121. You leaves some damage on the table.

I remember practicing out combos when I first started (Bryan) it is one thing to master it in practice mode but it's a whole other animal in online to land the combo.

Gotta remember to dash forward before you input the combo enders or they don't connect :)

You're dropping those combos bro.

One thing about low ranks is no one protects their shins

my thinking is that when a player learns to dic jab effectively, assuming all the pre-requisite knowledge like combos and general character knowledge, that's the entry of competitive play. Cuz damn I remember anything below genbu would be stumped with just pressure then dicc jab or stopping their pressure with dicc jab. From there then the game gets kinda fun.

Fahkumram looks so cool to me as a muay thai practitioner and if I ever pick up the game he is definitely the one I'm gonna main.

Tekken 7 was my first "serious" fighting game. First one I took online (mostly cause there was nothing to do other than bad arcade mode and treasure battle). I did playseveral games before (Shadow Fighter and MK2 port on the Amiga, PS1 games like Tekken 1,2,3 or Toshinden, pc version of MK9 and SF4 I found in a supermarket discount bin etc.) but I never really bothered to learn anything. So I guess my experience was kinda similar. I was playing Kazumi and my 1st month win rate was about 10%. Yes, I kept a tally. :D I'm still bad but decent enough to get to orange ranks and Tekken also made me expand into other games (MK11 and Strive and in future I plan on trying SF6) and yes, the journey's been frustrating at times but it has also been great at other times. Like, I do feel like I've actually improved a lot in games in general thanks to doing fighting games. Funnily I spent years trying to first get to green ranks and then to yellow... only to hit orange fairly easily when I got back into the game after Evo because I was stressing too much about rank. But since I started Strive on 2nd floor and managed to climb to 8th floor (first with I-No and then again with Baiken after I got knocked back to 6 when I started playing her) and even defeated some 10 floor players, I felt like I didn't have anything to prove with with hitting a specific rank in Tekken... and bam, suddenly I'm in orange ranks... aaand then I started caring about rank again cause someone said "only 2 ranks until Genbu" aaand that sent me back to the greens :D Either way, game is fun and it's so nice to see new players are still joining (you even fought someone with 0 wins as your first match). Here's hoping Tekken 8 is great.

You gotta run in after the 3, 4~4 before you do the d/f+1, 4, 3, 2 ender for guaranteed damage, the d/f+1 should connect as well, 😉

Tekken is rough in the beginning don't only play ranked. Join casual games learn to take losses lightly, lab movement everyday, learn the fundamentals, don't stress to much about combos they'll come just learn how to get in and out, poke and punish, launch wiffs and most importantly have fun tekken is filled with visual stimulus and cool looking moves and characters so don't forget to appreciate that.

in tekken this notation "~" is called tilde "till duh" where you slide the first button in to the next. Hope your journey is great.

Fun video to watch, love seeing newbies be frustrated with the game, its.. nostalgic in a way. Never ever use b1 in neutral, very punishable and it's only used for punishment. At 19:15 "time to find some pokes I could use" next clip starts with 3. I FUCKING KNEW IT! Don't use grabs for now, but if you have to only use df1+2 since it's difficult for newbies to break, while the 1+3 and 2+4 are often broken accidentally.

The american reset on your combos is too real lol.

I really like the video. Is it possible to make this a series

Because you want to hit him with that left uppercut band this week you're going to hit them with the ending up to the damage and it's going to affect your carry to the wall

according to my knowdlenge Fahk is not a top tier anymore after nerfs xD

Yo what platform are you on? If you’d ever want some pointers sometime I’d love to help

when you do the part of the combo after the tailspin (when the enemies spin in the floor) you need to dash deep enough so your df1 will connect otherwise it is not a true combo and there are tones of ways to be avoided or punished.

Underrated tip - Grind in TREASURE BATTLE on highest difficulty. It’s the best thing to use as a simulation for Online fights imo, you’re gaining so much character information both yours and your opponents. Gives so many realistic situations to practice your punishing, counters, combo carry, mixups EVERYTHING. Even if it’s easy at first the AI gets much harder as your Rank increases which is perfect. You’ll gain so much confidence and experience. Also please poke check more, I know combos are the ish but Poking your opponent to death is also quite rewarding 😂 oh and Grab a lot more too they add a ton to the mind games. GGs bro.

my first move is always backdash it gives me great advantage for punish

It’s so hard for me to get into Tekken bro. That long combo string you showed in the training section makes my head spin. Tekken is not easy. Basic movement is rough for me.

you came from 2D fighting games which is a pretty good stuff, you already know what is frame data what key move means maybe punish and movements too, since its a drastic change to go 2d to 3d i think it would be good to learn the perks of being in a 3d fighting game (sidesteps etc.) but you prolly can still learn your character first then the games mechanic but idk

15:33 yes that's unblockable, don't worry and don't panic, she can't cancel her unblockable so be patient, jab her out and convert to a full combo

This was a great video, my guy! Fantastic documentary of how a new players experience of the game. Tekken is in my own opinion the best, deepest and hardest fighting game out there. Love that you're trying it out. Great character choice, although he isn't really top tier anymore because he's gotten some big nerfs lately, but he is very strong! Keep up the good work! You'll go far! :D

just a lil tips if you were to ever play the game consistently as fahk, the df1 faint into 4,1 for ending combo, you have to connect the df1 first on tailed opponents, it require to dash forward first to connect de df1, when the combo hit reset it basicly mean that the oponent would have an opportunity to actualy do something, so when you connect the sweep and combo get back to 1 you actualy missed the combo. also i'm not fond of 2d versus fighting and i don't know if the frame data is as important in these, but in tekken knowing yours, and as much as possible of the usual move of every wharacters frame date is basicly the gap to pass from casual to intermediate player imo. also mixups obviously, i realy like not finishing the 3,1,4 string, it space pretty well and opponent either expect 2 mids or one low and usualy don't react agressively to that, it break the pacing and is realy effective at my level of play right now (24th dan) to push people into mistakes, 3,1 into a sidestep 4 usualy works wonder, kinda cheesy, but people tend to jab check a lot when they don't know so they get stepped out and launched.

2:35 after the tailspin u gota dash and then continue to make it a full combo or else the opponent can get up and punish u

You should dash and connect or hit the enemy with df+1,4-3,2 for guarantee damage.

From the perspective of someone coming from 2D fighters to Tekken, Tekken has a lot of moves that emphasize LP + RP and LK + RK... so while it takes some relearning, I personally recommend inverting your 2 and 3 buttons. Because most of SF/KoF have this focus on same-strength buttons for mechanics (LP + LK for instance), it's far more natural to translate this with the 2 and 3 inverted; whereas without that, all you're getting from those inputs (without the inversion) is your two throw variations. It's uncommon, and kind of unpopular perhaps, but it'll carry you a long way with more advanced moves.

Where's your discord and what country do you live in? I wouldn't mind teaching you a few things as long as we are able to have a solid connection. I'm only a yellow rank with not much actual skill, but I'm confident about my knowledge when it comes to this game. If you will allow me that is. I live in New Zealand btw.

Tekken is my fav, but you Need to know how to do korean backdash, learn frame data and punish

if you like big guys with big mixups you should play marduk btw but big bodies are also basically 2ds

12:09 lmao welcome to tekken bro, you're starting to understand

The game which requieres you to be both patient and hyperagressive at the same time

slight misconception that crouch block isnt the best it flips in its value when your knowledge becomes significant because alot of those big slow low moves can be launch punished for like 50-60 dmg at least

That law did way less dragon tails than most 1st Dan's..improvement abound

Punishment is everything. Focus on punishment and movement before combos. Understanding high crush/low crush, power crush, sidestep, back dash and those sorts of things are much more valuable than B&Bs in the beginning. Once you understand move properties you'll understand how different strings tie together and how combos are built/why they work or don't work. If you can consistently block/step your opponent and punish, it doesn't matter how much damage you can do with a combo. Otherwise you're just memorizing cheat codes for a game you don't know how to play yet.

do you have a spotify playlist?

How did you get Cammy's music?

I felt the cheesy bits in my soul lmao

Definitely look into the footsies/neutral play of the game, the game shifts in its favour the higher you go

if you use the term "links" that are similar to street fighter then there is absolutely no links in tekken, cuz aside from some very special ocasions you dont need to time your inputs, the buffer is large as hell, you can just mash the next needed inputs 90% of the time

something you can improve on is mostly just frames and being more aggressive as a fahk player. something ive noticed is that you play rather passively with fahk and not properly utilize his 50/50s (mixups). another thing ive noticed is that you arent punishing the other opponent properly. learning all about the frame data is very important. when you blocked the law's snakeedge (that one slow low attack), you couldve launched that law and start a combo. a few subtle things that needs to be changed is your usage of rage art. like the other comments say, try not to rely on rage art as much. use rage drive within your combos are just use rage drives to keep the opponent guessing. Try using your jab strings more often too. you can attack the opponent a lot more safely without risk of being punished and you can sometimes even chip off some of the opponents health bar. Dont also forget to play patiently and keeping your composure. very vital to winning matches. movement is also quite important. i noticed you dont backdash or sidedash very often. side dashing can be used to get yourself out of an awkward position and back dashes can be used to make the opponent miss sometimes and you can get in a sneaky punish.

aye fahk isnt broken anymore :)

When you searched those bread n butter combos, I think you missed the part that you need to dash after your opponent is tail spinned to connect your combo further, not doing d/f 1, 4~3, 2 at the same position

As a Tekken player, I might be biased but I think Tekken is another level of dedication. It takes a loooong time and hours on hours to get even relatively decent at the game.

U need to figure out his pokes and where to side step in the match ups. Poke sidestep poke poke sidestep launch punish a whiff. This is a good place to start fundamentally imo

There's also the argument to be made that "top tier picks" really don't matter when you're a beginner because you're still not at that level where you can abuse what makes a Cartain character better than the rest of the cast

"My mental was completely destroyed." You mean... you mean he destroyed your cognitive???

You must dash for the df1 to connect post screw ಠ⁠﹏⁠ಠ

Your begginer experience is so different from mine

I often wonder how many of these beginner videos are real . But mans immediately flexed that fake teachable combo and called fahk top tier . He really a beginner

I’ve written up a guide on how to play fahk after his needs if u want btw

I love tekken im sad i cant buy it

If you new to Tekken I would advise you to try basic character like Kazumi and learn fundamentals. And don't try to combo every time. Use her pokes like Jab, df1, db4, d3+4, etc. She doesn't have many launchers, but magic 4, hop knee and ff4 will do the job. Also learn wall combos and don't forget about mixing trows. Don't forget to punish, especially when you block lows ws44 is your safe option if you don't know opponents frames.

Fakh was broken on release and is considered a very easy character to play but you do you and have fun

Fahkumrahan is just Tekken's Sagat

For and otbers may agree...its the community that will keep u once u find a spot to settle in, be it online or offline.

Find your characters jab/vibe checker. It'll take you far.
