"The small victories" something i think we all underestimate

"I get a lot of males" ~TMM

Nice explanation, instaclick on notification everytime i saw a blue background on the thumbnail and never regret. Often some of these tips are also useful in life. Thanks TMM to keep motivated us doing awesome as always. 😉

You look like mainmanswe from twitch

Keep it up tmm! Help those guys who struggle the most in tekken's learning curve! Best Swedish boi evah! More love from Phil!

"I get a lot of males" damn

Hey TMM, I m improving too much. Any tips?

Fighting game player here for a while now. 7 years of tk and 2 years of SF and MK and let me say, this is a phenomenal guide for getting better. Also, in my opinion, one of the better videos to give beginners when they're just starting out on whatever FG they play. You outdid yourself on this Adrian.

Right before I was about to begin my daily online section, here comes another helpful video. I always try to improve and be patient, especially in a game like Tekken.

TMM does the good work yet again for Tekken scrubs like me

Thanks for the motivational speech TMM, i almost quit kazuya because im stuck at destroyer and dealing gimmick char everyday pissed me off

Been getting tilted more often recently out of frustration for not improving, this video is a lightning-bolt reminder to keep it cool. Thanks TMM, very cool

Took a break and it helped a lot.. Working on a new character now 👍. Thanks for the video Adrian 🙏

Thank you so much for these videos! They're really helping me understand the game more, and even more importantly, enjoy the game more! This is the first Tekken game I've tried to properly learn, and it's great that people like you exist, who are so willing to help and explain things to less skilled players. Thank you again!

This is Tekken Gods work, TMM. Thanks, brother. Keep it up. This is fuel for a growing community.

Thanks for the continued instructional videos TMM. I was on the verge of stopping playing because Tekken isnt beginer friendly. But thanks to you, I will stick it out.

Thanks for this video. Luckily I never feel salty, I just enjoy a good match and try to record matches where I lose and figure out what I did wrong (chess taught my that attitude). I like thinking of it as a fast paced, brutal puzzle with many variables first, and fighting someone else second. But I have only ever played Dragunov, so think I will learn a few other characters for a while and stick to player matches for a good while, get new friends to spar against and learn from and keep up the usual practising of fundamentals. Thanks again for the always fun, and often very helpful content. God helg fra Norge!

wow TMM ur such a good mentor :) i'm just at 3:10 now and i really have to say this. Keep it up you are awesome!

Very informative and hits home for sure. I've definitely plateud and I feel like I play shit now. Time for a break I guess

I've been learning at a slower rate in T7, recently. Admittedly, I've neglected training mode and just run a few hours of scrimmage matches with a buddy of mine who is relative in skill. I noticed I connect more hits and see better chaining possibilities that I wouldn't have seen prior. I also just thought that now I'm far past basics, the learning curve is much deeper, so I expected it would take much more effort before I can do something like, a 70-80% combo. I don't ever get frustrated, though. I genuinely enjoy the tough competition. I have felt myself get a bit salty at an L during a set, but it honestly passes for me within a minute or two.

You're really one of the very few known tekken players I actually like. I record every match i get pissed off at, and when I watch them later I often find the answer was literally right in front of my face the entire time, just hidden behind a big wall of bad habits that I didn't even know I had to begin with and I'm a Lars main, (Don't Judge Me) and he doesn't really have a lot of room for mistakes. I'm getting there tho.

Great video, I will look into a few characters who differ from My main. Thank you

Really interesting....i have been playing Tekken since Tekken 2, your suggestions really help me a lot to better understand the game and the tactics

Man, I've played Tekken since Tekken 3 and I swear you're always learning new stuff. Such a deep game.

Awesome stuff TMM this is really helpful im actually trying to teach a friend tekken so this might help

Can u make a video explaining the different types of play styles? Like rushdown, pressure, lockdown, etc.

It helps a lot to record your games and take some time off to watch them over with a critical eye. This greaty improves your self-awareness, and also this helps with specific match ups as well. Any moves, strings, mixups or sequences that give you a hard time, figure out whether they can be punished, ducked, low parried, backdashed/whiff punished, etc.

Hey Tmm just want to say thanks for the content youre providing and non-stop positive energy, much love.

the first part not only applies to Tekken, but everything in life. Well said 👍

"Try a new character" OK I will switch from Kuma..... To panda :D

Trying a new character really helped me out in advancing my main after being stuck in low orange for months. I main hwo and picked up kazuya (because of you actually) and their play styles are just so different that it forced me to relearn the game and see it totally differently than I used to. When I went back to hwo after about a month of exclusively playing kazuya I immediately did better and got genbu in like two days. This is hard to do though because I wanted to give up on kazuya at first and just go back but if you stick with it then it can really improve your gameplay overall

This video is amazing it made me think that tekken is more than I knew it was and it made me think how to improve more this video helped me a lot I also thought that sometimes the game is unbalanced but the thing was I’m just mad and can’t think how to defend myself I think you deserve more subs thanks btw make more of this knowledgable things about tekken thanks again😉

No joke, this is video is an excellent life lesson, as many of the principles are key to improving at anything.

2:37. This what I needed to hear. I don't think I've ever launched(with a non WS move) a stagger low in game. When I do get that punish, I should definitely feel like I won.

I'm low in agreeableness. Thanks for the tips.

Yo this is such a refreshing and helpful video thanks so much!

The most frustrating thing about tekken imo is when I try to stay positive and adapt come across an opponent that does the same shit but I can't beat him/her....maybe I suck idk lol.

This video is the single best advice to a new player. Not just for players who are stuck. I think it would be a really useful recource for new players if you would adress these and other beginner advice in a single video aimed especially for beginners

This is like a ted talks. Is their a playlist with all of types of videos?! I need to get the fundamentals!

Just getting off work can’t wait,getting ready to hop on PlayStation 4 pro,TEKKEN 7 online ranked tonight 😍🙌🏾

I like the autopilot remarks. I started playing the game offline, where these sort of habits get punished quite quickly. Then when I started playing online, I noticed I could afford those in early ranks. Even worse, it was better to do that, because people wouldn't respect "unusual" mixups and would just push buttons. My point is that it's easy to develop those autopilot strings/flowcharts online, because it can seem efficient and/or easy.

Tekken is really a good tool to test your emotions

I agree on the break. Stop when you are not feeling up to it. You know when you are not "in the zone".

Im absolutely loving your videos, keep it up

Since T3 I was Jin player but as soon T6 came Jin was nightmare for me to deal with the technicallity and aggressviness of his didnt naturally feel like him so I changed chracters and I love elegance so Lily was my kinda main when she came out but Asuka was my main so it was difficult choice and then T7 came Lily felt more natural to me than Asuka and it is what it is. Gotta learn them all I guess.

I think story mode is a great way to improve with difficulty in T7 and if UH is not anymore difficult. Treasure battle is a great way to fight AIs that will use all the moves better and more how they go against you.

Could you do a video regarding 10 second matchup rule of all the characters?

I just did my first taunt jet upper while watching. I've been playing for about 3 weeks and am loving this game.

I love your channel. I feel like it has helped me improve already, and I kinda figured out that I was a little too salty lately with my Lei. He is so complex that if you get really pissed off it becomes easy to forget his vast move set and become predictable. I'm so used to just opening a match with Razor Rush then into Crane Dance and I've suddenly realized that's not the best sequence. How do I go about setting up and hour of coaching with Lei? I'm not sure what your rates are but I would love time on Discord or something. I feel like I've hit a plateau even when I'm not salty.

damn applicable for any fighting games either tekken soul calibur sfv doa etc

thank you for this video, i need it for these days

This is great advice!

This video is extremely helpful and useful. Thanks again MainManSWE.

Hey TMM,you sure are doing a badass work for our beloved game community.. I just wanted to ask something or maybe if you could do a video about a big question mark I think many players out there ask themselves.. "I want to train and master a new character, where do I start with?" What.. ,in your opinion.. ,are the steps to train with a new character?

For me, playing a different fighting game helped a lot. Like i play sf5 whenever i hit a wall in tekken. I guess sfv is helping me in a way that it makes me see moves easier?? Im an eliza player so yeah idk but yeah playing another fighting game worked well with me

Awesome video. Thanks!

TMM now act like a second dad i never had that i wish i had as well

Great vid. I've realized that my wall is playing a different character. So I will reinstall the game and main Katarina.

Quite a lot of this applies to more fighting games than Tekken. I am only a casual for that game, but more competitive with Blazblue Cross Tag Battle, and I will be applying most of this to my experience.

He’s right as usual with tekken. Stuck with kazuya as a vindicator. I don’t understand frame data. Maining and using other characters definitely helps with execution.

This guide has a lot of great advice

Great advice....God I miss Tekken!

Currently watching at 3:10. I feel like this is a viking prep-talk? I CAN TAKE ALL THE WORLD !!!

This is one of your best videos hands down

Great video main man xx

This video explains my grind in Smash Ultimate. Guess it really is just applying the same skills

I got super salty in t7 amd took a 3 month break. Have come back only a few weks ago and so muh more chilled.

i used to get salty playing against your kazuya in tekken 5 dro. always wanted to chase you down and defeat you.. cant say it actually ever happened but i got to play against ryan Hart and other top tekken names online so its all good. Now ive come so far in tekken and understand so much more then my saltytekken 5 dro days. Im genuinely happy youve put up so many good solid tekken videos too

"Look at small victoryes, punishes, dashes" now that actually inspired me, well said TMM

Nice video. I would suggest people to play couple of different characters and going back to your main. Edit: whelp 09:10 he also said it.

Thank u for enlightenment.

could you touch more on improving your mentality like staying positive

These rules not only help you with Tekken, but also in real life. Thanks, TMM. 👌

I'm in blue ranks and I won a Mighty Ruler yesterday. I have positivity for years with that. XD

JDCR, Qudans, CBM play with pokerface for a reason, good advice. We all wait for general rule!

I'm trying to play melee better but this is still really helpful

Really good video. The way I got alot better was to watch the pro play and look at what they are doing. Also just block in a match. Just block and punish

Hi mainman I'm a dragunov main since tekken 6 and in tekken 7 my dragu is genbu and warrior on my other account to. Am doing too well. Any tips? Lol

I feel U made the vid for me after demanding twice ..whatever , thank U so much man

excellent - &*^king excellent video, AS USUAL. I was on the fence about picking up Lars, BECAUSE he is lower tier, in order to work on my fundamentals. Now I will definitely pick him up. Every good Tekken instructor (Aris, Frame Whisperer, cutcc, etc.) says virtually the same thing on this subject matter. This is some seriously sage advice. This video belongs in a Tekken Necronomicon, or secret 70"s type Shaw Bros. Kung Fu manual.

Everyone losequitting my hwoarang today in orangeranks. I blame tmm for this!!

7:07 wait I think it's Ling's jab 1,2 right?

The ranks system does have pity points - when you win you gain more points then you would have lost if you lost the match. So, even if you are not good at the game you will eventually reach high ranks. If I remember correctly only the last 8 ranks do not award you pity point - only those ranks reflect actual skill. Other ranks reflects the time you spent on the game.

"and I get a lot of males" nice

Great video!

"They just do shit" 🤣🤣🤣... yeah I'm a bit guilty

I started playing by trying to learn devil jin,do you think i should slow down? Im just a casual player with a big ego because i play devil jin and in my head i should win cuz im devil jin lol

Would you suggest playing casual online or ranked online if you're looking to improve?

As someone who suffers from depression I can agree that staying negative can cause you to not learn new things. Hell I did horrible in high school cuz all I could think about was killing myself, it still happens today

Great video

how do you deal with Hwoarang players who are constantly hitting buttons/strings to keep you in a block stun? i know down punches work but sometimes you get launched when trying this. even power crush moves aren't always useful in this situation. and why does Hwoarang have at least 2 or 3 power crushes??

Learn Overall Concept of each character then you can learn advance details such as frame data.

Thanks tmmswe

Awesome.

i do 6:25 until i die literally, that leads me to 1:16, and possibly because I picked up tekken from tekken 5, so I dont know crap about matchups

Hi I would like to have some coaching anyway I can contact you?

Hey main man you still working at the prison?

would love to have a few game with you MM

HOW TO BLOCK SEEABLE LOWS? Play with friends in ur level or higher who uses bryan and law, first play non stop with bryan, tell him to do snake edge and orbital heel as mix up evrytime. If u can manage that then u can try to block law's dragon tail, its much harder than bryan and difficult to see. After that maybe miguel's HOW TO LEARN SIMPLE PUNISH? I find t6 or t5 to be better at practicing how to punish bcoz t7 lacks offline ghost battle. Put ultra hard and try to make ur char tekken god or lord, u'll eventually learn that u cant beat high ranked cpu without punishing them. Also cpu always finish their strings so u'll have to duck punish many moves, also low parry certain strings which is not punishable on block. After learning basic punish and blocking seeable lows,u r ready to play against human opposition and with trial and error, adjustments to ur punishment and choice of moves. Btw becoz of lack of ghost battles in t7 and my laziness, i still haven't finished studying the t7 cast

First 5 mins is life advice
