Hey Sizwe, I think it's definitely important to learn the right way rather than just racking up the wins. Wins mean nothing if in the end you don't have fundamentals. I'm glad I could help assist you in learning the fundamentals and the right way to approach the game.

Dude,u can enjoy when you playin Tekken with friends and beers..There are no fun and joy at high levels-it's just mindtrick from more skilled frea.._players.Like in anything else there always are people who just practicin over and over day after day with no regular fuck to become some kind of masters in some shit.Tekken is same bullshit.Nerves comes first, so don't waste your time on this shit.I do not.

Better late than never. Always welcome to have people watch something late than never at all. Keep up the progress Tehdood :)

Glad to have you Cars One Love ^_^

Hey Brien Bailey! Thank you so much for taking notice of the channel and I really hope it helps you out man! It's a hard game, but very rewarding too. :) Join the discord if you have any questions!

King Vinny glad to have you King Vinny. I’m going to have to buy MainMan some more burgers.

Laka, absolutely. I myself find myself forgetting to side step as well. I have to remind myself sometimes "HEY SIDESTEP FOOL!"

I have a bunch of other videos in a playlist for more fundamental stuff :)

Cherry 91, I'm glad you think that as I intend to do more beginner / intermediate friendly content. :)

Thanks Wafflism. Glad you enjoyed the content. Check out the other stuff, and I'm sure there's something insightful in each of them ^_^

Glad you think so! That means a lot to me TechnoShamanism!

Thank you so much for the sub Keith. I'm truly humbled you enjoy the content.

Thanks thanks Alex! Much appreciate the compliment!

Glad I could help! Sorry to get back to you so late Joseph White. I have had so much going on these days that I don't have as much time to get back to you viewers in the comments. Thanks a lot man :)

^_^ happy to hear these videos are bit sized enough that you can take it at your own pace!

Appreciate you choosing my videos to watch John Smith :)

Go for it! I have a whole series for this stuff :D

@@PeterYMao Yeah, I peeped the playlist. I have it saved, going to watch the second video tonight! Oh and I subscribed to you as well, you deserve more credit.

Glad it was helpful!

@@PeterYMao it wasn't just helpful, i'm coming back to it 3 years later. your series is the base of basics :)). i showed your series to a friend a he learned tekken from it, and not she's kicking my ass with fundamentals. so i had to come back to it. your stuff is the stuff man.

Absolutely man. I have a whole playlist to this stuff ^.^

Wow, thanks! Appreciate it Abraham!!

Welcome back to the fold. Prior to Tekken 7 I too had taken a huge break from Tekken. Tekken 5 to be exact.

Appreciate the compliments Conner Bodwell :D

Of course I check the comments. The way KZfaq works is new comments I can see perfectly fine. However, if people reply to chains of existing comments I can't see them. Regardless, I'm happy you found the videos and they help you. If you stay with Jack, I think I might have something your way ;). Maybe... we'll see. Anyways, best of luck man. Happy you chose Tekken. Peace out my man.

Welcome aboard! Happy to have you here learning. Thanks for taking the time to watch the videos Christoph.

Absolutely. When switching over from pad to stick, the most important thing to keep in mind is it is just a matter of time. Honestly, just a matter of time.

Awesome, thank you! Much appreciated the sub!!

Binge away!!

Thank you so much MondayKnightro. Happy they are helping you learn the game. There are a bunch more on the channel, and they are in a playlist. Make sure to check those out as well.

Wow, thanks for the compliment. Yeah, I don't talk about KBD as I don't think it is worth the time for a beginner to learn it immediately, eventually they will need to learn it for sure. I think between learning combos, key moves, rage, low parrying, blocking, and hit properties just basic back dashing, side stepping, side walking, forward dashing is good enough to get them started.

@@PeterYMao I absolutely, agree it would only confuse them to learn such a hard input just as they enter in tekken

P1553d1 thanks for stopping by and checking out the videos!

Thanks Captain! Aye Aye Captain!

Rasmus very happy to be of assistance to you :)

As long as you keep making videos there is a chance that i'll Git gud. :D

Not a problem Antaeus ^_^

PeterYMao I started playing Tekken in August last year. Of course, not having any knowledge of character moves I went to practice mode and tried out each character. I went through all the move sets. And while doing that, I was attracted to Kazumi. I like her moves and her simplicity and her character design. Since then. I’ve just only played her. Dedicating my time to just getting great with her. I pretty much know how to play her by now and have a game plan. I’ve plateaued at genbu rank. Just off the strength of watching videos of tournaments, pro players as well as me just playing the game, learning other characters moves, when playing against them, just naturally getting better through experience. Pretty much raw tekken skills. My point is, I understand Kazumi is an extremely fundamental character. When playing online I’ve realized that when I get destroyed, it’s not really because of my knowledge about other characters moves. But more so of my lack of fundamentals. I didn’t know movement was such a CRUCIAL part of the game until watching this video. I needed a source like your channel so that I can learn and get better at the Game so once again THANK YOU 😁 I appreciate you taking your time to make these videos.

I have dabbled a little with Feng. I actually quite like him. He is very solid of a character in my opinion, especially because of his whiff punishers. If you have a chance check out the space and whiff punish. I use Feng as a means of demonstrating that.

Thanks, will do 👍

Glad you like them!

GenoSolid that's great to hear, I truly believe that what makes Tekken so great is that there is always something to be learned. There is never a lack of knowledge to be explored.

@@PeterYMao Yes very true my friend

Vass highwind. I hear ya man, definitely will keep it up

Thank you objective irony :)

Thanks Brass Heathen :)

You're welcome!

@@PeterYMao Thanks for the reply! Excited to see your character guides too.

Thank so much Zairent. MainMan is a great person and community leader.

Welcome! and You're Welcome hahaha. Thanks for watching man

Thanks Brandon!

Glad it helped!

Many thanks!

@@PeterYMao no thank you! Learning tekken is hard and your videos are super helpful and highly appreciated

Thank you :)

Gustavo. Thank you so much for the sub! I'll have to give him my thanks on his stream later.

Thank you Yuri!

LOL. Thanks Brass :)

c16621 thank you very much sir!

Hi Clam_Chowder. I definitely plan to do that in the future. Unfortunately, it might take me some time to get to as I am currently in the works covering some other items. Multiple projects are in the works.

Welcome 😊

Daaaamn! You are a rare breed Cory Goodman. Good on you just wanting to learn. Not many of you out there

Luckily I caught your comment this early! Use whatever controller you have at hand and like using. If you're new and don't have an arcade stick, get familiar with the game first, then buy one if you're interested.

This is the best advice, and identical to whatever I would have recommended. Get used to the game, determine if this game is even for you. Then try to use whatever controller you currently have, after some time decide if you want to switch to a HitBox, Arcade Stick, Mixbox, etc…

Thanks guys, I felt my thumbs hurt so much using d-pad controller, maybe im not used to it

lah ada abang

@@TheJooomersmost likely the controller, i had the same problem too so i switched to leverless! never went back again

Just take things slow Lance. No need to rush it. Clean and slow is better than fast and sloppy. You will get there man! I believe in ya!

@@PeterYMao Thanks for the advice Pete! We're all gonna make it one day ^^

@PeterYMoa Do you have a recommended stick?

Ali l I recommend the Mayflash F300 for your beginner stick. I have it and it’s a decent start up stick. The stock parts are great for its price but you can upgrade it with Sanwa parts in the future too.

Hey Haider! Thanks bro, hope all is well and that the yellow ranks treat you well :D

THanks!

As long as you try to keep the fundamental stuff like back dashing and side step in mind while playing that's at least a first step. Take the time during the loading screen to remind yourself of the things you need to do. And only focus on those things.

@@PeterYMao Thats a great tip, Thank you so much brother!!

Any time!

This is exactly what I did when transitioning from Japanese Stick to Korean Stick. Felt weird at first and then more natural later.

I really like the concept of "here's how to practice this videos lessons". Maybe give a specific move/situation (kind of like homework?) on what to practice to really drive the point of the video/lesson home and to give the audience a "real life" use of the lesson. For example with ducking: Setting up Bryan repeating 1, 4, 2. Practice ducking the 2 and look for a good move on your character to punish. This could have great implications on audience retention and engagement on top of the benefits on the learners part.

Yup will do!

@@PeterYMao Seems like you were a few steps ahead of me (watching the end of 'Spacing & Whiff Punish'). Good stuff!

I don't plan to make a guide for every character because I don't know how to play every character. There are characters that I myself don't fully understand so I can't make a guide on a character I don't know. I'm just a content creator and an average player :)

You bet! ^_^

You're very welcome :)

Hey circle turtles! Thanks I appreciate the recommendations. And you're absolutely right. It must have slipped my mind completely that BD and SS can be cancelled into one another. Not as an excuse, but usually I'm working on these videos when I'm tired and have just come home from work. Thanks again for the critique.

You're welcome my dude I just thought it was worth mentioning. It's easy enough to forget these things even need to be mentioned some times after they become second nature. Great videos keep it up :)

Practice makes progress. No one is perfect xD

@@PeterYMao Absolutely, I did a good 20 mins or so doing sidesteps, backdashes and such and I'm already getting a better grasp of it. We'll see how it persist in an actual online match haha.

You are very welcome Andrew! Glad you enjoy. :)

@@PeterYMao Forgot to mention it, TMM sent me here. It's nice when you get to find a place where you can learn Tekken, glad to be here.

@@AndrewDTeach Nice! When was this? When did TMM send you here?

@@PeterYMao I was watching one of his vids and at the beginning of the video TMM presented your channel and suggested visiting it. I was hooked on the presentation, and considering that I want to understand Tekken, I checked your channel and here I am, thanking you both :)

@@AndrewDTeach Thanks man! I'll have to thank TMM when I get a chance. Which video was it btw? I'm curious ^_^

Thanks Chef Lin!

Glad to hear that
