Very important: if Paul tries to go for the explosive 50/50 at the wall with his deathfist, the move loses most of his pushback and you can usually launch him with most characters

“Unlike a hellsweep it isn’t step able” guess what got buffed

A few things I would add, at the beginner/early level you'll see Paul use a lot of strings. While safe, a lot of these strings are Mid/High. Recognizing them and ducking will force Paul to stop finishing the strings. Still safe sure but Paul's turn has effectively ended, which leads to my next point. Paul can snowball people but he is a slow ass character with little "block" advantage. Very few of Paul's moves leave him an advantageous situation that can be abused (RIP +3 on block qcb4), he is often times left at -7~9. Still safe sure, but it is now your turn. Use that opportunity to do whatever you please, apply your own mixup, backdash to create space, sidestep to setup something if you have a good read. Paul struggles to create opportunities on his own where he can abuse good + frames. He will often rely on the opponent making mistakes or being buttons heavy. Paul is a character with a bunch of panic moves, don't approach unless you have to. Turtling up and forcing the Paul to approach will open a lot more options for you. Lastly, Paul has a lot of hype moves with bullshit properties. But these moves can have range issues and are also death on whiff. Use movement to create space and if the Paul is button mashing or spamming moves you can easily punish him.

I didn´t know that command throws were short ranged and normal ones were long ranged, it makes so much sense now :) I could study this game for years and still find new things thats how deep the game is!!

So, you finally understood the power of deathfist?

As a recent (since t7 release) Tekken dabbler that plays Paul, I'm actually quite happy about this vid. It is very helpfull to see what not to do and what are acutally openings in your strings. I haven't found a Paul video that goes as in depth as your mishima vids, so this has been a blast. Thx for making your vids man, and stay positive! You're dope.

Thank you so much! These get me so hyped! When you're finished you'll have made the Tekken community that much stronger as we try to catch up to all y'all amazing veterans. Fuck yeah.

For his tackle, you can actually do a punch reversal, which will catch his left hand. You can also press 1+2 I think, as he is grabbing you, to wrestle him down and mount him yourself.

I’m surprised you didn’t talk about his sway mixups even out of df+1.

would love to see some updated character guides, you are great at explaining!

When Paul highcrushes wifs go through his hair

Great video as always I wouldn’t mind a Yoshimitsu counter video as his mix ups are insane. Cheers

Im loving these vids, please do a how to counter Alisa and Kasumi video

great video , just as a side note to AK players the optimal punish i17 is b3 dash f1+4. Keep up the good work lads

This is great. You've shared your opinions on Nina:) it would be great if there was a how to counter nina vid.

God bless you main man I played a near 40 win streak Paul today and the flowchart was real thank you very much for the vid

Thanks MM I really learned some new facts about this paul

Thanks for this! (actually, thanks for all these videos!) Would you do one on Josie?

Forgot to mention the duckable strings. Lots of easy to see moves such as, ws 3 2 and standing 3 2, qcb 321, b 1 2 ect. Very effective if the Paul player is good at keeping up the pressure.

I don't even play Tekken anymore but I still love watching TMM

maybe you should also say about counterpick characters for these counter-character guides? e.g. some characters can punish some moves more effectively than others and such and such

I can simplify Get hit by deathfist - lose Don't get hit by deathfist - win

TMM, if you're gonna do a video that teaches a lot of punishes, maybe it'd be a good idea if your head isn't where the PUNISH indicator is supposed to be. :D

Paul's the only character in the game to have a 1+2 and 1 break throw that both wallsplat. It hurts.

If you block deathfist from point blank characters can launch punish it which includes:- Lars fb+21(a good 14 frame launcher) Mishimas have the electric Jin also has the electric Armor King cd2 (dark upper) Dragunov f1+2 (high launcher which can punish deathfist from max range

Can you do "how to counter jack 7" i having a trouble with dealing with him

You forget Paul's best move f1+4 its his shoulder with a quick side step inbuilt which dodges and punishes basically all non tracking moves to apparently a free death fist if your fast enough

Keep this up MMS!!

I HOPE YOU ARE ALSO DOING AWESOME AS ALWAYS MAINMANSWE!!! 🥊💀❤️

Thanks man really helpfull

these tips are interesting...mostly because I don't play paul like this at all lol. maybe the demo mans but I only use deathfist if you whiff something or if you roll at me on wake up. I'm more of a sway based Paul

I like to use f1+4 mixup especially against Mishimas cause auto left ss and after knockdown i can just do massive dmg with deathfist also fast frame recover

i hella enjoyed this series

I wondered what a "fro" was. Took me a while.

I play Paul since T5, I love his style and moves Thank you for this video, it gives some insight on how to become a better Paul player ✌️

Mainman: Paul has the best throws in the game. Nina: Am I a joke to you?

Then season.3 happened he was a monster in the wall game then now he's the god tier in the wall splat and wall damage. 90% of players I've fought that blocked the deathfist never countered tbh they tired but I was able to block. d,b 2 is the real deathfist of Paul strong push back very safe if your fast enough to run towards an enemy d2, wall splat use df2 deathfistx2

take my sub sir. you are making lots of sense. bril

Please do How To Counter Feng. I still lose against this character every time

this works like a charm, I stepped away from paul, he got confused and started punching the air, as soon as he punched I had about 200 frames to punish him with it was great, he got really confused he was multiple ranks ahead of me and had over double my wins right now I could really use a king counter though or a wrestler counter in general, I'm so bad at countering throws

Thank you

8:09 Me: *evil grin* that's right bitch, I got you now...

My dad and I played Tekken 5 and he uses Paul to keep spam that DF (Down Forward) 1+2 grab so I use Heihachi to counter that grab (DF 1+2)

Another thing to add is that savvy Paul players (or players who don't main Paul but can play him very competently) prefer to use QCR Back + 2 over Deathfist due to it being a safer option. Especially a definitive mid-option at the wall vs Shoulder and Demoman as it leaves less room for the receiving player to make the most of it on block, or they'll eat it if they're expecting a high or low. Players like Knee would use this move as a keep away move, and the DF + 1 mixups can lead into hurting combos or some extra pain. One factor that I'd say is that Paul's launchers are mixed blessings. QCR + 1 and DF + 2 are great launchers but ducking pretty much makes it useless. Paul's DF + 2 is among the faster ones and great high crush but the fact that it can't launch mid can be a relief to the player who takes it whilst crouching. Solid breakdown nonetheless.

Please make more how to counter videos

This video taught me how to play paul so much better than the how to play paul videos

qcf 3 is his best move. make sure to stay on guard when pauls does this move. it's a low poke used to close space. when he does this he's measuring you out for his haymaker moves. make sure to punish this low poke

Do a list with all the counter vídeos please

ultimate punishment tackle- tackle attempt 2 break. half way down 1+2 switch over but do not punch paul unless your yoshimistu. because of his tackle punch counter. 1 break ultimate punishment. for the arm bar its 1+2 2 2 2 1+2 2 2 2 to reverse break it. for vs king or nina ect leg tackle reverse its 1+2 1 1 1 1+2 1 1 1. vs craig murduk tackle attempt its 1+2 break. dragonuv also has a tackle punch counter. kazuya tackle is a 2 break on attempt. asukas special ki charge tackle is a 2 break on attempt. think ive covered all tackle system here.

4:28 "He doesn't get good frames on qcf+3" drags d+2 was 0 on hit and left both the players in the exact same position yet it was one of the best lows, this low is the exact same on hit but both players are left standing and are at 0 with slight spacing, knee uses this low a lot because it's essentially a season 1 dragunov d+2 that on ch does 60 dmg. Also, it's -14 so it's only risky in specific matchups.

I have created a category of videos with some of my matches against paul called "Paul is short" a lot of moves shown in this video can be JUMPED OVER (including death fist), we can jump over his rage drive too...

12:58 How fast is Feng's Shoulder? I thought his looked faster.

Do a counter video on Akuma

06:47 IT JUST WORKS!

With rage paul does half-life of a throw

Paul main here. Don’t listen to this con man! He has no idea what he’s talking about.

I've never seen anyone use demo man in neutral. It's usually just a combo ender from what I've seen.

Paul also has some kind of mid punch into low uppercut mix up that launches, which gets me every time, does anyone know what that is and how to deal with it?

Could u please make a video about countering Anna

While I am a Paul main, and feel shame for betraying the Church of Phoenix, I feel compelled to add more. Flash Elbow - f, f, 2 (15f) or fc, df+2 (14f) - deceptively good range, relatively quick, mid/low options can be canceled by holding back On hit: -7, guaranteed high/mid option, low option can be blocked/parried On block: -17 Counter: if you can block the initial elbow, you've put Paul in a 50/50 mixup. Either he gets away with it, or he's punished. Throw out a quick low/duck jab or your best WS launcher until he stops using this move. Bonus tip: if you try to dash in to close the gap, and you're just outside of Paul's kick range, expect to eat a df2. It's an uppercut mid (launches on CH low, launches standing) that will almost always guarantee 1/3 of your life to disappear.

I need the updated version for tekken 8

Can anyone tell me how to punish Paul's demoman with Jack-7??

I've seen reversing an armbreak with an armbreak, how do you do that?

But honestly how do you beat demo man death fist mixup

how to unlock devil jin in tekken 5?

React to masood plz

Are u at evo? I'll watch it on twitch

Rip my rankings now

7:48 ff4 is not sidestepable.i always get punished at this range with ff4.

what does 50/50 mean?

armor king can punish hopkicks with his shoulder, optimal punish guys

Hat off to Paul he is ass kicker. This video is for beginner pros uses deadfist for mostly and doing unsafe hfc df 2 . Don't backdash Paul if you don't know how to backdash properly because you can venerable to deadfist and ff4 I think. It's good for beginners to learn backdash properly first.

do steve

I do 5000 attacks against Paul with Lee online, Paul does 1 demo man at the wall and I'm dead 😂 Press F for Lee mains 😭
