Thank you for this. I didn't know where to go for help. Finally someone who breaks it all down.

@@jakehundley6312 You're very welcome!

Love the vids man

Hope you make more content soon

Thank you As Bas. I Think strategy is very important. A player should not just looking at numbers, frame data, and execution. Strategy it is what helps guide good decision making.

Thanks so much waste place :) very happy to hear such a great compliment ^_^

Shit! I got you covered when I go over taunt in the near future.

My pleasure!

Thanks fam! I'll do my best to keep up the quality.

Oh, yeah I'll definitely be talking about strategy. What's the point of combos, if you can't find ways to open up opponents? :)

Thank you Pierre!

Glad you can use these for anti-Bryan tech ^_^

Exactly. This vid is not only for Bryan players but for us who struggle (definitely me as yoshi) against him. That Chart helps me alot against him! At higher lvls I can now expect Bryan not to sidestep me (as Yoshi )too often ,which is important info! As always a really nice Video , you never lag quality!

Thanks MICKYMAN! I make these guides to really help educate people and open up ideas for others to build upon.

Hehehe! We working on building up more subs :)

Thanks Naefelia. Glad they are able to help ya out.

Awesome hear Lorenzo! Glade these guides finding the right audience ^_^

Definitely a lot of work went into it. Thanks SpeerKING :)

Yup! I haven’t covered taunt yet, but this is definitely something I will cover later on.

You're welcome Paulo!

Glad you enjoyed Green Beret! I'm happy to hear you like'em.

I loved them 😊

Hey Doug Lau. I really appreciate your compliments and thanks so much for enjoying all the content :) I will look into getting a webcam to record my hands for things like korean back-dashing, and wave dashing. Thanks!

Yay! Thanks Yivex :)

^_^ Glad enjoy the explanations. I take a lot of time to think of how I need to explain it to to best convey my ideas and thoughts.

More to come

Thanks man, glad you like.

Absolutely! Glad to be of service!

xD

Pimp Dat Hutch! Review away!

You're welcome Knight!

You're Welcome!

Glad you liked :) More to come in a bit.

Glad you enjoyed the guide Freelancer!

Glad it was helpful Dimitris. Thanks for watching ^_^

Thanks Aaron. Glad you enjoy the videos, thanks for checking them out :)

^_^ awesome to hear.

You're very welcome my friend.

Appreciate bro bro! :D

I will do another 2-3 videos for Bryan for sure, but then I have to hop back to some other topics. I will switch on and off non-Bryan videos with Bryan videos.

@@PeterYMao yess thx. Looking forward to it :)

Thanks for stopping by Mr. Bushido

@@PeterYMao I've been learning tekken since Combo Breaker where I got to see the top 8 live. I picked up Bryan because I saw knee playing him there. I wasn't feeling confident until I saw your older videos that broke down his key moves. I've been a long time 2d airdash player and your videos helped conceptualize how a 3d fighter worked. Keep up the good work!

@@MrIBushido appreciate the encouragement man.

How about 1 bar taunt snake edge?

1 bar snake edge is ez to block bc it comes out at like 100 frames. 3 bar is the devil

Thanks Nahuel!

You're very welcome!

They are coming, don't worry, just takes me some time to make them.

Haha I meant it as in "More Bryan? YES!" but that is also good news!

Here is your taunt jet upper video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5p9qMelrJyUips.html

Not a problem Navdeep!

Awesome to hear Iwst82!! Glad you enjoy the character.

👍 Thank you!

Yup, more to come.

We can only pray 🙏

Absolutely man. If you enjoy playing Hwoarang, no need to stop. However, if you are feeling tired of the character and or feeling like quitting Tekken. Then I suggest switching characters.

@@PeterYMao I enjoy hwoarang but I feel like the character is just too hard to master with all the stance options etc... I play tekken but I probably play 2d fighters significantly more (came in 5th at an MK11 tourney recently) and I feel like it would be nice to have more than one character. Hwoarang is really my only character up until this point so I figure maybe I should add another.

@@talbottsands3560 Truth be told, I think it's important to stick to one particular character until you are fairly confident in that character. While you may be extremely good in 2D fighters, 3D games are quite different. However, if you feel that you have learned all there is to know about your character and/or feel that you want to pick up an easier character, there is no shame in switching. I do advise that you please make sure to invest 80% of your time into your main. The reason for this is it takes lots of time to be confident with a character, know how to deal with situations with your character, and how to work around things. For example, if you play Bryan you need to have solid movement and knowledge of MU as he has very few panic moves. He relies on solid defense, mind games, and abilities to recognize openings. But if for example you play a character like Law, then you will have to master more of the offensive side of things as he is best played as a up close poking character. Chipping away at the opponent's health, forcing them into more and more disadvantageous situations. And his YOLO or panic moves are plenty. So all in all, up to you man. If you want an easier character then definitely feel free to switch. Like I said, no shame. No shame at all. Hwoarang is definitely no easy character to learn, so it's quite understandable, if you feel he is difficult.

@@PeterYMao good points. Yeah I can play hwoarang decent enough to make green ranks but I just cant seem to improve anymore with him. The characters that interest me apart from him are bryan, akuma, and paul. (Akuma I can play fairly decent due to alot of sf4 in my past, but throwing in sidesteps really changes the way he plays) thank you for responding, it seems alot of fgc channels really dont interact with their fans that much, definitely shows your integrity as a youtuber and player :)

@@PeterYMao on another note, any advice against marduk players? I kept getting matched with one on ranked and getting absolutely clobbered

Thank you Angelo :D

@@PeterYMao You're welcome! Keep up the good work, man!

Not a problem Joseph :) Better late than never.

Thanks Adi!

PeterYMao no ! Thank you cause you are life saver ❤️

It's a complicated game, but super rewarding when all the puzzle pieces click and come together.

As far as I know, I don't know anyone who has gone into this much detail with another character.

Law and Shaheen both have great homing attacks, and they both on the very surface resemble Lee. They all have slide mix-ups, they all have a hopkick of sorts, and they all have similar frames on d/f+1 and such. However there are some huge differences which makes Law and Shaheen much more dangerous than Lee up close. Law has a d+2,3 which is high crushing comes out in 10 frames and launches, execution is very easy to do. Law also has things like f+1+2 as a means of pressure which up close is very dangerous because it puts in you minus frames and forces you into crouch. And last but not least, Law has excellent pokes and pressure up close even his lows. Shaheen has a hopkick that is arguably top 5 in the game. It in some situations its crushes highs. Shaheen also gets plus frames on some of his lows or they leave him neutral, in addition to have a very good 12 frame punisher. Lee on the other hand has range issues on his hopknee, is minus on hit with his lows, and requires significantly more execution than Shaheen and Law. There's a bunch of other things, but short of writing another paragraph, just know TMM and I talked about where to place Lee. Originally I had him closer towards keep out, but then he suggested that playing a little more up close was probably better. And now that I think about it, I kinda agree.

Thanks Freddy!

Can you put the notations? Also would you mind asking this in the discord? It's really hard for me to check back on all the KZfaq comments and provide answers Knight. Thanks :)

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

👍

Damn! You're the reason why I have so many views on this video! Makes sense now :D

You still want to pressure Kazuya more often than not. It is a harder match-up than before for sure, but there is not much more of an alternative. Don't give him room too much room to wave dash mix-up

Wait... what is the question here? This is more a story of your experience with your friend. I'm not sure what is the question you want me to answer is.

Glad to be of assistance. I dabbled a little with Paul, and I have to say Paul has some difficult stuff as well. I always thought Paul was super easy sauce, but now I have more respect for Paul players.

PERFECT! Thanks Daniel!

I believe it is called Map_KinderGym_Futuristic_P by Shnuki_DC7T29L. I hate the original KinderGym so much because of the crazy colors, I had to use this to replace it. Let me know if you find it. If not I can try to find a link for you.

You dont want to rely on flow charts, oki you have qcb mixup, b4, taunt...

@@JustN0tMe Well said JustMe. You beat me... to it. :)

I am kinda reluctant to show flow charts with Bryan as it can develop some really bad habits. However, with okizeme and methods of killing turtles I will definitely show those in the future.

@Peter Y Mao Hihihi just wanted to make your job easier

Whichever works for you best man. This guy plays fighting games with pad and uses his mouth kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZd9jLaY3pq1fas.html. So honestly anything can be done as long as you keep working at it.

*Lili* is quite good at range 1 since she has a lot of moves that can lock you down such as d/f+1, d/f+3, qcf+3+4, d+3, f,F+4 these moves when mixed up are a real pain to deal with if you are not familiar with how to get out of them so best to play at around range 1.5 to 2. *Paul* has some of the best homing attacks in the game with b+1, u/b+2, qcb+4, and some other attacks. Many of these on block is safe for Paul and at the same time on hit provide him with great frame advantage or a knockdown which then allows him to run in for pressure. *King* you can actually afford to SS a bit more because his homing attacks are not nearly as good as someone like Paul's. Additionally, King has one of the best throw games so SS can actually avoid some of the throws which is sometimes quite a good incentive to SS.

@@PeterYMao thanks a lot bro

@@PeterYMao means make distace with while plyng against paul?

@@ineedluv1 you don't want to play up close at range 0 against Paul since you will completely get mixed by his 50/50. If you play at something like range 1.5 then demolition man can't get a clean hit (his d+4) and therefore you won't take much damage from it.

Sorry Vijay. There are no tricks or tips on Taunt Jet Upper. It is literally taunt cancel the taunt perfectly on the last frame with 1 frame of forward, 1 frame of neutral, and 1 frame of back + 2

@@PeterYMao ok... can u plz make a video for illustration of moves through keyboard?

I can try in the future, but there is a lot of other topics that I would like to cover before I even get to Taunt Jet Upper. As I think Bryan can be played at a very high level without it.

:D

Sorry I'm not sure, but I've listed all the songs in the video description. >,< just copy and paste it into KZfaq to search for it. I don't know these songs off the top of my head.

@@PeterYMao I'm an idiot who didn't look there

To be honest don't ever blame the tactics of the other players at your level. They are doing what they are doing, always look inwards at what "you" can improve on. Is there something you can't deal with? Go into the practice mode and try to work on it. Usually there is always an answer to something. You don't always need to "predict" what they are doing. It would be nice, but you can't always do it so you need to learn how to condition the opponent to do what you want them to. If they can't get conditioned, then keep doing what works. If you do hatchet into hatchet and it always works, then keep doing it. No need to change what you're doing if it works. Likewise... your opponent shouldn't have to change what they are doing if you're not adapting. I hope that helps.

@@PeterYMao sure it does!!! thanks

Great idea! You should do it!!! I’m sure you would get lots of views!!

This was made a while ago, so Fahkumram is not there. I would say pressure Fahkumram. He does poorly when pressured, also he can't step very well after hatchet kick.

I don't see why not. You can do both. Obviously in either case, nothing is guaranteed and depends on the situation. In an ideal world, you'd SS and then see if they attack, and if they do is it a fast move that will whiff - do Jet Upper. Or if it is a slow move that you can counterhit with f3 or b1. Easier said than done of course. Like he said in the video, it depends on what your opponent likes to do. Apply accordingly to scenario

Fatman Android I like what you said, I’m only going to add a little to that. It depends on the match up of who’s playing. For example KNEE’s Bryan pretty dangerous good at what he does. However JimmyjTran’s Bryan has more of a technical matter to his character. I believe in having both of those ideals while you are playing. Yes that is at high level play yes not everyone has their abilities down pat. But creating the game plan in mid match is something you can do and work on. Prime example Tekken world tour finals Qudans vs Ranchu, Devil Jin vs Panda. DJ is supposed to be the best character in the game But Ranchu had a solid game plan against Qudans. One can argue about online play there’s a difference between everyone who plays, some may double up on attacks others might just do the same pattern over and over again. These things can still be applied during match it takes time

Hi malevolence109, thank for your input and opinion. I'm glad you enjoyed the content. :) I want to say that I think we have differing ideas on how to play Bryan. You are correct, Bryan does not have the movement that Kazuya, Devil Jin, Heihachi have which I'm assuming in this case you are referring to wavedash. However, movement for Bryan is still huge, since he needs a certain amount of space depending on the match-up. And since Bryan's panic moves are limited, movement will be one of his few ways to make space and create openings. Also I would like to know why not SS and look for counter hits? I see lots of players do this from beginner ranks, to intermediates to advanced to pros. I would like to hear your logic on this some more. SS and then trying to whiff punish a hopkick on reaction is extremely extremely hard and not easy. Just SS into JU is hard enough for some people, and having to visually see that a hopkick has been evaded and then throw out a JU requires years of skill that I don't think some of the beginners have here.

@@PeterYMao Yeah we probably do. In my opinion, sidestepping into a CH move requires too much commitment for little reward. You set up a SSR with D4 and then do a F3. Like you said, it's not a foolproof plan for the same reasons you mentioned after your explanation. The way I see it, you're only rewarded if the opponent goes for a string without a lot of tracking. However, setting up a SSR/SWR with the intention of whiff punishing with a NH launcher (JU, F4,1) covers short range whiffs, which is the biggest weakness of setting up a sidestep into a F3, and most importantly, whiffed pokes. I won't get a launch if F3 connects on a recovering opponent. JU covers that. Naturally, it's much harder but the reward is also better. But hey, that's just my nitpick and way I play the character. Once again, love the content. Looking forward to the next one.

@@DocFriday Thank you so much for the great discussion :) I also try to tailor this guide to more beginners and getting to think about moves in pairs. It is very hard to SS JU something like a d/f+1 or even a d/f+2 for that matter. But much easier to do something like SS into f+3. But I do see where you are coming from. Ideally eventually as the players become more advanced, then they can start doing that and branching out into more optimal solutions. Thanks again for the awesome talks in this comment section ^_^

Why do you think I made the Zelda sound when presenting the 3 different game plans at 4:12? Eeehh? :P

Hello :)

Hi Edwin, I'm sorry you felt that way about the content. A lot of time and effort when into making this video for instance the match-up chart towards the end, as well as thinking about the different ways to explain the fluidity of developing a game plan. I was gearing this more towards beginners to help them understand that that the concepts of keep out, counter hitting, pressure all flow to and from another. As you said, perhaps it was too basic, but I think that sometimes stating something that you already know isn't particularly a bad thing as it helps to reinforce. And yes, this video is serving as a backbone to helping build a bigger series. I really hope it turns out as well as I had hoped. Thanks for the feedback.
