This is fantastic sir! The effort is appreciated :)

I thought I was watching a blasted salami video

learning about the generics of the game helped me immensely when I was just starting out. Originally I thought that EVERY character had ENTIRELY different moves, but being able to break every character down into having about 5-8 really common generic moves like jab, df1, ws4, etc made things a lot easier to take in.

Great video. I don't like thinking of homing moves as generics though. It's more accurate to say "homing" is a move property like crushing that a move can have rather than a category of moves

Great video!! An addition to crouch jabs: you can cancel the crouch state by holding/pressing forward. This way you can do standing moves after a crouch jab.

generics fall into fundamentals and it's the key to making characters in tekken more accessible. I managed to figure this one out when I spent a ton of time labbing characters in the game but i didn't know it's called like that since this video. found you as recommended after blasted salami's videos and I don't regret clicking on it.

Awesome video mate; these are some of the most valuable moves which I think a lot of beginners fail to recognise. You've got a very clear narration voice as well; can't wait for more vids.

Super great content! Keep covering more of these basic concepts, they're super helpful to newer players. Y'definitely deserve more subs

Never have I subscribed this quickly in my life

I never realized this thing about tekken, this is an amazingly well done video!

hopkicks and ws4 could have also been included here

Excellent vid! We Tekkeners take this legacy knowledge for granted. The new players need these things explained. Great job

thank you!!! i couldn't put this to words for friends. i'm referring them to this channel. thank you so much!

Mind blown. Thank you!!!

Nice, I love informative videos like this

Good stuff. Played Tekken for a year and didn't quite grasp the generic talk until this video.

Such a great video!

Good content. Subscribed! Keep it up my guy.

Love the video by the way! I didn’t know some of this stuff! :O

Great video! Good way for people that entering in this world! Good job!

Project diva plus tekken 7 Omg I love this channel.

Bro. You deserve wayyy more subs!!

Simple yet great video thankyou 😁😁😁

I love the u/uf+2 slap. It's just so satisfying to hit with it, and I don't think it's good so it's kind of a mind game in itself that you're even throwing it out there.

3:25 - “-and will ALSO launch crouching opponents-“ WHAAAAT I DIDN’T KNOW SOME DF2’S ARE DIFFERENT OH MY GOSH THATS SO COOL YET TERRIFYING ASDFGHJKL

wow great video, you deserve more subs

Didn't know DF2 didn't launch crouching opponents... explains so many things now... Great video.

I think this might've been exactly what I was looking for, common ground. While picking up my first character (Noctis), I started to wonder "Man, this is a lot to remember. Even though it's a shame to the rest of this large roster, why/how would I learn anyone else?" Good to know about Generics, thanks!

I am just starting to really study generics recently. I never really saw the similarities because my main /first character is Lucky Chloe, who’s df1 and df2 looks unique, and doesn’t have a magic 4. So when I tried playing Julia and Jin i didn’t really see immediate similarities among various characters not to mention I was still very combo -centric . Glad to learn about generics now tho .

Nice video, definitely subscribing. Another kind of generic tool some characters share is the d/f 4 fishhook a 12f mid that's negative, but safe and doesn't give anything on NH or CH except for some characters. I do believe Katarina's version of this generic tool is a bit different than most others, though. Another example of an exception is Leo's d/f,2 which is negative on block but doesn't launch crouching opponents either, so the worst of both, but compensates with amazing reach and in most cases takes the place of the hopkick, which in Leo's case has one of,if not the shortest, ranges among the whole cast, maybe AK is worse, not really sure though. But I digress, nice video, hope to see more stuff from you soon ^.^

Can you do a video exploring generics more? Like special df1s, d4 or crouching 4s, and their frame data. Keep up the great work!

Are homing moves considered generic? They're all so different from each other, seems like a strange choice. Hopkicks seem like a more sensible inclusion.

Great Vid!!

Good job man.

Very helpful

I like your video. I hope you can put all kind of parries in Tekken 7

6:40 Excellent Wind God Fist

Generic d4 isn't the same as the one from crouch in terms of frame data, only the animation. This is not the case with generic d3. d4 -13 -2 on hit/CH fc4 -15 -4 on hit/CH

I guess one can never really be done studying Tekken 😃😃 great video 👌🌹!

Gracias por los comentarios en español, toma tu like.

I found your videos when u made the dragunov guide which helped me on so many levels, i wanna play competitive tekken, but i feel as of late i hit a dry streak, just wondering if anyone had any tips to help

I believe df4 could also be considered as a generic move, since it's a fast, mid, safe (more - frames on block than df1 tho), longer range kick . Also many characters have it.

Holy shit, there's a lot more intricate mechanics to each of these moves. Always had it in my mind the properties on generics will be the same regardless of crouch or standing

Good video

NOICE

Why am i even watching this i dont even have tekken 7

can someone explain what a "Magic 4" is?

What graphics mods are you using? Your game looks great

High quality video

3:30 honorable mention for unique df2 launchers: -Zafina: 16f and unsafe (-12) but its animation can make it duck under high hitboxes -Master Raven: 16f and unsafe (-12) but a knee and puts her in backturn -Lili: unsafe, but if it hits in a combo it flips the opponent, neutring their tech roll distance and forces them to stand up backturned allowing for setups

1a Top Video 🤙

Should have mentioned 1 jabs as well. 10f +1 on block highs with fast recovery. Great as a way of testing your opponent and starting light pressure.

Great video! I just feel you should've emphasized more that generic moves, or lack thereof, do not necessarily make or break a character provided they compensate for it by excelling in different areas. Far too many people, seem to put too much stock in having an i15 df2. They act as if a character is inferior or not worth playing if they lack this generic. Yet they'll overlook the fact that Steve does not possess an i15 launcher (along with other generics) but is still considered top5 in the game because he has strong tools in other areas. Same with Master Raven and Bob who lack certain generics but more than make up for it with their other strengths. It is important to understand generics but it is also important to note that some generics are not the be all and end all of Tekken.

Does Claudio have any of these "generics"?

I really like the way you’ve done everything. What I don’t like is not being able to watch, listen, process, watch, go “ah yes I understand,” and keep watching. A lot of things you say are hard to follow visually. Your presentation is beautiful, voice is great, I absolutely can’t follow what you’re saying while watching, because I’m constantly rushing my ability to learn- learning nothing. Since I have to keep backdashing the video, I’m at 3:30 and I can’t take it anymore. Please continue to make videos. I’m still subscribing, and I strongly encourage you to keep making these beautiful edits.

A good way to learn about generics is by watching and listening to competitive tekken, evo matches or the like. The commentators will point out and use many generic terms to a wide variety of characters, terms such as df1, magic 4. The professional level of play by the players will help you learn the game too, as the commentators will also point out when moves are punished or should be punished etc.

Hey i dont understand why people complain about Steve’s B+1, its high , 13F and only launch on counter hit :/ Great Video btw ✅

hey man! can you do frame reading on the next video? thank you!

generic d+3 also hits grounded in comparison to generic d+4

hopkick?

Plz make a Steve guide.

What about Kat's Magic 4? Isn't that one really good, too?

And hopkicks no ?

A great complement to this video would be JDCR's video on 1 jabs. PLEASE watch it, it is very important. Generics are the best tools you have. I never thought I'd find a video like this. I'm very impressed.

The only other "major" generics would be ws4 because that's ALWAYS useful, and uf4

I haven't seen you talk about jab string yet. Do jab string count as generics too?

Poor Lee 😟

what is "magic"? i know 1, 2, 3 and 4 do we have a list of terminations for tekken? i wanna learn tekken but i am 100% new i am still trying to learn stick, its been hard to set a good grip for me, most of them feels weird

I still dont see the use of uf2 generic! Why is that even a move??

Does Julia have the only unsafe magic 4 in the game?

How come no one ever talks about the delayed hop kicks that everyone has?

Again why does your game look so good link to mods?

Really good informative video. May I ask if your Mishima building stage is modded? Looks really beautiful and I'm curious to know where did you find it.

In terms of DF2's, I think most would agree that Paul has by far the best generic DF2 in the game, yeah? He pulls his head back, which can get some highs to whiff and it has incredible range for a generic DF2.

6:00 in season 3 Bryan uses d2 instead as his prefered mid poke, although its 14f its only -2 on block almost like a generic df1, and is also +8 force crouch on hit

*cries in Lili df+1*

now i see why ak default character is shaheen.ok

Did you use mods for those stages?

Is all char df2 weak against the same ss

The movies are hight middle and low for all the fighters

I am here

No love for hopkicks?

Wheres yoshimitsu with anything 😭

Do any other veterans watch beginner vids like this just to think "yeah, I already know that" and feel good ab yourself?

D1 's can be parried

You sound almost like blasted salami. Are you guys related lol .

Hopkicks man. You forgot about them.

Who calls them “generics” though?

I am massively disappointed that I didn't hear the term "dick jab" in this video

I thought they were just called Normals

basically, genereics are what normals are to 2d fighters.

Fun Fact: Leo's df2 is negative and it doesn't launch crouchers.

First!

Some df1 crush high attacks Lees magic 4 is the fastest i think

Steve's df2 in S3 is a big mistake! It doesn't launch like it used to and it doesn't even launch like generic df2. Bamco why?? Why did you remove such property? I know I can bait highs and launch it with ws2, but this is outrageous. Are you expecting us to deliver more creative launchers and playstyle with already difficult character? Or are you expecting us to be creative as overall?

do you mean fundamentals?

Im a gigas main i laugh at these things

Jin does not have a magic 4. The reason it's called a magic 4 is because if you do get it on counter hit, it gives a weird airial launch.

Fking western tekken notation

I'm sitting here as a VF player going like, "Generics?" You mean your fundamental moves? Which in VF, have moves, "generic" or not, each cover a speed for balance of that character. You Tekken cats'll call it, "Generic" because it doesn't grant you a NH combo starting like a hell sweep or for just existing. The games too busy telling everyone to combo instead of playing fundamentals and videos like this need to exist as well as JDCR explaining jabs. Ya'll are clowns dancing around taking 2 yrs before you decide to hit anyone and walk up for a mix-up. Don't get me started on the movement being designed around the D-Pad and its quicksand speed. Tekken chose flash over substance which may have kept relevant (In the west). VF never died. Ya'll went to Tekken and gave up on a true sportsman's game. I'm being passive-aggressive because why is it VF has taught me the necessary fundamentals of a 3D game in order for me to hang in Tekken? Trust me, if people started with VF, they'd understand (At least try to make sense) some of the Tekken situations sooner.
