Watching Max getting hype from nowhere and chat trying to stop his fun was the highlight he was in Learning Mode followed by "SHUT UP CHAT" lmao

So much respect for Max really grinding it out and learning after three years of inactivity.

It's actually not called "Demo Man" They call it "Emo Man" for Noctis lol

This is the one fighting game franchise where i love the challenge when trying to learn how to play it, learning all the characters is so fun in here :)

I always loved how the S1 Pass characters are Noctis and G. Howard One character is great for those looking to get into Tekken, the other for those looking to dedicate themselves to Tekken.

What I love about T7 is that, during a match, I remember my BnB and standard stuff, but then remember a random move I have and be like “Oh, I have that move” and just use the move. It almost always hits xD

The further along we get with the Tekken series the more and more I appreciate getting in with Tekken 2. I can't imagine trying to learn Tekken NOW as opposed to having the years of experience from back in the day like a lot of us have.

About a year ago for the first time I was like “I’m gonna sit down and learn this.” And played it a month straight and it was super fun lol I’m still not great but being at least familiar with it is pretty satisfying on its own

it took me 2 years to learn how to use jin and even after this i tried bryan and it felt like im playing a completely new game and this is why i love tekken

I think one of the most fun things about Tekken when you become more comfortable is judging wall distance and utilizing unorthodox wall carry options/setups at the wall. Like guides will show you what your wall carry options are and your wall combos, but sometimes using an uncommon option or tech traps is super fun when you can make it work. Getting off the ground and knowing what to do at the wall in Tekken are their own worlds to learn.

Thanks or being awesome Max, best of wishes to you and yours! ♥

Just rewatched his tekken stream from yesterday and it was fun to seeing the learning process. I played tekken casually with friends growing up but I tried to pick up Tekken 7 a month ago and every online match something new is learned. It is pretty fun when the netcode is good.

Jesus does Noctis look freaking sick in this. I've only played a bit of the the FFXV demo but he looks ten times better than in his own game here.

Tekken 7 one of the best fighting games ever to come good to see max learning this game again

I’m all here for Max actually diving deep into Tekken 7 this game became my favorite fighter overtime because of its complexity every round feels different from the last

I'm so happy he's starting to learn this just as I get back into it. Can learn side by side hopefully I pick up some new stuff

I agree with this so hard. I started playing street fighter 5 for the first time last week and it felt so impenetrable because of how I was getting destroyed. But after playing tekken 7 story mode and messing with training a bit I was already ready to play online and wasn't just getting destroyed. It's learning curve is perfect for how hard the game is.

Tekken Tag soundtrack is awesome.

Even Max nearly got caught in the combo vortex. Practicing combos in this game can be so addicting!

Great to see more Tekken! Keep the Tekken content coming

Love u max, keep doing what you’re doing.

That TTT music is nostalgic af

Played some Lili earlier after watching your stream. Haven't played in 4 years but it all came back...it can be done!

I love Max’ schematic approach to learning the game. Makes a lot of sense in T7.

Just think of 8 way run in soul caliber but use that for every button press and then when things feel good make combos up that work for you and then you'll just regularly use them in matches . I jumped back on in t5 Dr in the arcade and ever since its been buttery

Been playing Tekken literally my entire 27 year life, it’s still fun learning new characters.

We love these tekken videos !!

My favorite game series of all time! I’ve been playing since it hit PSONE. Completely obsessed with Tekken.

Thanks for giving Tekken more love Max. :)

Thank you for returning to Tekken, Max. I used to only play Asuka because of how straightforward and easy to execute her moves are. But I have recently been challenging myself and experimenting with the rest of the cast. I feel like I have been missing out on a lot of great talent in the roster - Lili and Josie have especially been awesome to play, personally.

It's fun watching max go back to tekken I hope it goes back to dbzf to seeing him get good at these games again

I just started trying to learn Tekken from square one as well. It’s hard but fun.

Finally MAX! Let’s GOO

Tekken is super fun to learn, u learn something every match so it never feels like u aren't progressing in somme way.

"Ignore that I called him Cloud." No, sir, I don't think I'll do that.

I'm loving these Tekken Tag soundtracks in the back, assuming I'm not mistaken.

I remember enjoying Tekken 7, learning the basic mechanics of the system, picking up a few flashy combos, going back and forth with some friends. all in all a great time. Then another friend started playing King, and no matter how long I tried I just could not wrap my head around spotting which grabs required which buttons to tech. I got broken by RDC. I hope tekken 8 is as fun as tekken 7 but with simpler grab tech so smooth brains like myself can enjoy it.

Great video Max! I've got some small tips for you regarding Tekken. The most important things in tekken are: Punishment, Movement, Wiff punishment and Mathcup knowledge. (duh) Knowing how to punish things correctly will automatically give you high Ranking online, but this needs frame knowledge and MU knowledge. The "easy" way to practice punishment in Tekken , is to go to the punishment traning in practice mode. Sidestepping Choosing to sidestep/Swalk in neutral can sometimes be more rewarding than keep out moves . Regarding when to sidestep, you can side-step block (tap up/down then quickly hold back) from -+0 to -4 frames, example if you do a df1 on a blocking opponent, which is usually -3 on block, You can side-step block from this situation, people will sometimes try to retaliate with a fast move, ex jab in this situation, but the jab will wiff because you are side stepping, and fast moves are usually super linear, so this gives you the opportunity to wiff punish fast retaliation with your own i10 to i15 frame punish, depending on the retaliation move. You can also sidewalk (double tap up/down then hold) in this situation to create a bigger wiff , but is a bit more risky because you are not blocking. When you are in range of -+0 to -4 frames you can do Side step block, sidewalk or backdash, to create space to make your opponent wiff. In some certain matchups, you will want to do Side step duck (tap up/down then hold db), or backdash duck (b,b, db). This shit goes deep bro. Also be careful in ranked, some might try to mash buttons when they are at -6 to -9 disadvantage, if you have trouble against random button mashing, check them with a df1 to keep them honest. I hope this helps, i apologize if it was too much info, this is Tekken. Looking forward to see more of your Tekken journey! Cheers Bro.

Thanks for bringing the max cartoons for the thumbnails

gonna pick up Tekken 7 when it goes on sale next, looks fun

Super happy Max is getting into Tekken

it is nice to see max playing this game again I hope others learn from this and pick it up too cause it is in my opinion among the most fun fighting games without having to learn to much

Tried playing right before the update, but had trouble finding matches. I'll have to give it another try

Back to some good ass Tekken

definitely gonna be watching max learn Tekken! edit: took me a good 3 years to be decent at the game. still struggle with match up knowledge as I hate delving into the practice mode vortex.

The Guy just practice and already Do a death combo , talented . This is Nice Max

Gonna be following this one closely

My god the tekken tag ost is simply divine

I can’t wait for Tekken 8

My last Tekken was TT2 and now here I am lost AF preparing for T8😂 Having so much fun though, the community is pretty supportive.

I fell in love with Steve, just the Fox doing things

Maximilian using one character that isn’t tekken character

Ive been playing tekken since 3 but got really into it when 4 came out and at base level its still the same game that it was 30 years ago but because of how complex it has become youre forced to actually learn and "train" if you wanna even be decently good which I appreciate because it keeps the button mashers away. But ive noticed that a seasoned veteran like myself who knows certain combos but the the lengthy strings and advanced movement skills can still have an advantage on hardcore tekken gamers because they expect to be fighting somene of that same caliber and expect them to know the advanced skills and when they dont it throws them off and you get the potential win

Tekken got me hooked since season 2.

tbh Tekken 7 is one of the most populated fighting games on steam in general, usually has double the population of SFV and MK11, even before the patch, which is impressive when you consider it's age

Is not while rising, is while standing. WR is for while running moves. Nice to see you back to Tekken dude 🔥

I love it that Max is back to Tekken right now. I've always loved his older T7 videos, since this is my personal main fighting game. Keep em coming Max!

For mish-mash sidestep/walk to your characters left.. and punish hell sweep

Love this

man i haven’t been able to get into much matches in T7 and when i do it’s people that kick my ass instantly 😂 i still gotta figure out who i wanna main and all the 100+ combos that come with them but damn this game is addicting i never had so much fun with practice mode in any fighting game before

I just learned my very first tekken 7 combo this morning! I decided to play Claudio. Looking to learn the basics, I'm more of a 2d player but I just want some more knowledge, broaden my taste.

I recently installed it and had a lot of fun going up against one very good Marduk for one hour or so... shame that I don't have the same drive as I did with it like I had before -_- Love to see you getting serious with it again though ^_^

i remember all those benny momments :) thats a good dog.

can someone tell me the song playing at 10:30? it feels so nostalgic for some reason

Not a fan of cartoony Tekken, but Go Max!👊😄 6:36 That answer and even the bits before it.👏 Tekken Bowling God. Sick!👊😎

I can typically get a pretty good grip on fighting games, but I’ll be damned if learning tekken hasn’t been the most challenging thing I’ve ever done in a game. There’s so much nuance to it and I never understand quite what I’m doing right or wrong most times, it can be a bit frustrating. It’s fun but I do wish I had a better grip on it mechanically to understand exactly what’s happening

Hahah...max must've read my comment last week!!!...just started working on this game last week after having it since launch lol...tryna figure out combos juggles...moves etc lol...deep game indeed lol

That’s some good add Tekken

what's best in playing Tekken is if you think you forgot a character or there is a character you haven't play in a very long time but have tried to memorized their movesets, your muscle memory kicks in like Ultra Instinct.

For usual you can do the same stuff after uf2 as after df2, i mean: df4,uf3,222... you don't need the df1+2 screw after the orbital

Which Tekken Returning Character would you like to see in Tekken 8 for me The Original Wesley Snipes Raven and Bruce Irvin

Can anyone tell me what that website max was using? I’d love to be able to have a clear guide into what to look for in this game.

I’m like 50 hours into my first Tekken 7 experience and almost all of those hours was spent studying Yoshimitsu and playing against one or two of my friends, lol. Tried matchmaking for the first time and got up to 3rd dan but eventually went back down to 1st; you bet I rematched every opponent no matter how much better they were than me! Looking forward to the grind, as there’s just always so much to improve upon. Yoshimitsu doesn’t seem very beginner friendly at all, but I’d rather main someone I really like.

Max knows the deal, he has the tekken tag ost for the stage because the tekken tags had the best ost's.

"And also I didn't buy the fucking frame data." Ah.

Anyone know what he was using for the list of key moves and stuff

The title makes me feel like I just stumbled onto a Tekken infomercial at 3 AM...

You're right, it doesn't have to be hard to learn, but somehow Tekken saw steady growth for years despite it being hostile to new players. They show you 8 different stats that you don't care about, but they won't put characters' names on the screen in online multiplayer, so you can't even internalize which anime lady it was that beat you. There's no tutorial, and I had to figure out that highs/lows work the opposite of how they work in most fighting games I play from a load screen tip. Frame data is sold separately, and the netcode sucks. I'm not sure how this game got the following it did with this many roadblocks in the way; personally, I put it down.

I'm in the same boat as Max, actually it's been even longer since I've been active in Tekken... not since T6 when it was released. I bought this on Steam during the height of the pandemic then bought the definitive edition this year. I still remember a few of my bnb combos with Nina and Julia but I'm overall rusty as hell. And so many new characters to choose from, crazy overwhelming but nice nonetheless! Lidia dope as hell

💜💜💜 max is the man

As long as you dodge wifi players and play +4 bars the connections are mostly good actually!

Man this is really making me wanna get into Tekken but I'm not sure if being a new player this late into the game's lifespan is a good idea especially since I'm a novice at fighting games

i am so down to watch Max learn this game ... although, id like to see Max pick up a Tekken character as opposed to a guest! It'd be cool to watch you watch a combo video, and do the combos that you see in the video

This game is s much fun when you get a bit into it.

I've played so little Tekken that I thought the two characters on the left were Raiden and Chad.

I recently returned to Tekken to actually learn it. I'm in between Eliza, Ling Xiaoyu and maybe Dragonov. It's not going well as trying to remember those inputs are a pain. But I do have my handy dandy PSP to learn some stuff while away from home(like that will make a difference....)

You know...I forgot that he was even in the damn game?! Not a character I would have used anyways but still...damn this game has been around for a good while!

I played when I was young but was just mashing then got serious in T7 a year in. like 5 years later im red ranks only. but I love it. wasn't that hard to learn but hard to get good at

I want to get back into Tekken just to Master Eliza & Lydia🦊🌿

What is he using to look at his "key moves"? Lowkey been trying to learn T7 Heihachi but idk what I'm doing and I'm mostly relying on gimmicks to win me matches

Man this game looks so fun and i wish i played it more but i cannot justify using that much space on my laptop while not having more storage to download the game

Tekken is one of the hardest games you can learn. But the payout and practice is worth it! Tekken is a game that has sooo much history the real fighting game players always come back to Tekken.

I didn't really get too much into Tekken 7 aside from playing with friends casually. I mostly played Lars cuz he seemed like a cool character I wanted to play. Though recently I've been getting into Pokken Tournament and while that's a little more simplified but unique Tekken in a way I seem to enjoy it more what with the Pokemon aspects thrown into the formula with it's gameplay

Really hoping that tease was for Tekken 8, and that the netcode is good. I want to learn Tekken, but I feel like I'm too late to the T7 train. Also really hoping the next one has Armor King in it as well, he looks so cool

i saw someone made a video about how noctis wont return for T8, and asked who would miss him... and my mind went straight to Max.

I literally bought tekken a couple of weeks ago on sale. Can’t decide on a damn main . Last one I played was t3 as a kid just mashing buttons. I would use king, hwo, law, or eddy (they all seemed cool to me as a kid). But now it’s like ohhh kazuya is dope, jin actually isn’t a tool, king with a badass outfit? AK it is, shit eddy is still dope, black kung fu sign me up, huh.. Paul isn’t a tool either. Really can’t decide on a single one 😂 they all look cool, and I like all their play styles. I’m leaning towards kazuya, jin, eddy and AK the most though. Problem is I’m just stuck in training mode bouncing between them not really learning a single character that well yet 😂

Anyone know where max is getting all this info from? trying to learn this game and noctis myself.

I like to play lidia since there arent a lot of complicated juggle punishes

I bought this a second time yesterday, I have this for PS4 but I got it for PC. I am on Arch Linux though and I Just got my PS4-controller to work after much efforts from my end(I am used to troubleshooting Linux). Can't wait to play it for real now! I've been playing Tekken since the very first one in the mid 90's, since every iteration changes balance,moves and much more I suck even worse now lol xD. I am pretty terrible at this game, which Im gonna try to remedy!

Max is about to get mauled and sent back into the deep abyss 😭😭😭😭😭
