He would still need to win that first game against purple rank players over 50% of the time to get promoted to Fujin. Nah, that dude is rank boosting somehow.
I'm still watching as I comment but I'm already impressed and educated by this This is good content .I was already aware of you but I'd not been previously aware of PHIDX. You two compliment each other well. The banter is great. I was entertained. I'll definitely check out his content.
Some of these are hard to figure out because if both players were still on the climb to plateau then they aren’t actually playing at a level of the rank they are being viewed at in the replay. Say they caught me playing when I was going through the greens I would not be playing at a green skill level. That’s why
What I have learned from this video and my own ranked experience in this game is that ranked is all over the place and it might not work as intended lol
I managed to only guess the Jun vs King one perfectly. The Jun actually did a pretty advanced combo at 19:46 that no low rank is getting. The standing 4 into ff2 is pretty tight execution wise.
I had assumed the Paul was a more experienced player cause he did do some things a totally new player wouldn't. A big one was that he blocked a get up kick and then tried go punish it with b1,2. So that told me he played T7 and knew get kick ups were unsafe in that game, but wasn't aware that they were safe in this one. He broke a throw (just 1 of them, but it was a 1+2 and he did break it) He TRIED to adjust his combos for the wall. They didn't work out, but a new player wouldn't even bother. There were aigned he had an idea of what he wanted to do, but ultimately got ran over by Victor likely being too new to him.
The format is good but you should pick games where people dont have custom health bars, the jun vs king game for exapmple, that specific health bar you unlock at i belive mighty ruler so its very easy to guess
This is exactly what i got into tekken for. My friends and i would always play winner gets to fuck your character up and make them lok embarrassing. Genius premise for content and also adding that stake of fucking up the losers fit. Love it.
The rank variance is due to character variance...... I have fought so many tryhard Bryans who make me sweat in the Yellow ranks but then I fight dumb Lars players in Purple who spam the same combos....... I think knowledge checks really carries a lot of characters to high ranks.
There's so many factors that play into somebody's rank in Tekken that I honestly just kinda don't pay attention to them most of the time lol Some people are lower rank because they've got good combos, but bad fundies so they can't land them Some people are higher rank because they're carried by a gimmicky character or strong, annoying moves Some people are Azucena Some people just throw the movelist at you and rank up because they confuse their opponent to death Some people are low rank in Tekken 8, but they've played a lot of Tekken 7 or other previous Tekken Some people have varying ranks between consoles and platforms Some people just know certain characters really well and are able to punish them more effectively There's just a lot that goes into it. I've legit run into Fujins that have no idea what they're doing and Oranges that play better than the Tekken Gods I fought in T7
Honestly, regrding the statement at 1:58 I feel like brand new/newer players are equally, if not more likely to find some cool custom ideas online to show off in ranked
The first fujin video threw everything outta whack lol. But the thing about tekken 8 ranks is that it's so easy to promote and demote that if you're having a good day or if all the opponents you're facing are just unfamiliar with your character then you could make it pretty high in the ranks even if you're just flow charting
33:50 I found that low rank reinas are gods at electrics, but their overall offense is lacking hence the raw df2, no ff2, no hell sweeps, no mix, but insane electrics.
@@tylermartin7245 You should be glad, that means there are lots of new players coming to your game. Its inflating people's ranks, because anyone whose played Tekken before has a significant advantage. Be nice to the noobs and teach them, that's how the scene grows.
Wow, I was actually pretty accurate on most of these. I think it was because I focused more on the players movement rather than move choice. The only one that really threw me off was the Law/Hworang match. I guessed way way lower on that one.
I'm going to update and guess as I go along. As of writing this very first comment, I have accurately assessed the skill level of the players in the first match. I really did guess Blue Ranks. 😎My clues were that a Throw was broken seriously on reaction, and the way they Sidestepped off the wall to realign, that is a legitimate high level skill. They were performing attacks with intentionality. This doesn't really happen outside of strings in low ranks. Attacks with serious intentionality only occurs at around Red Ranks and onwards. This was clearly a Paul Player who had some experience but wasn't familiar with the Victor Matchup. 1st Match - Guess: Blue Ranks Answer: Blue Ranks My reasoning for guessing Purple Ranks was because the Jack Player knew how to Mixup after Blocking, that is not a skill that is readily apparent to players who are of a lower skill level. They did a lot of mashing, but I think these players are Purple Ranks for the Jack-8 vs Azucena Match. 2nd Match - Guess: Purple Ranks Answer: Yellow Ranks Way off 😭Maybe it's harder to guess than I originally thought. I'm guessing the King Ditto is occuring in Red Ranks due to the level of control they have over their characters, but inability to recognise situations. This looks pretty clearly like Red Ranks to me, but we'll see. 🤔 3rd Match - Guess: Red Ranks Answer: Green Ranks This shit is *WAY* harder than I thought 😭I got lucky on the first call I guess. But I suppose there was more clear data to expose the Paul and Victor as being high level than in the two Matches right after. Orange Ranks for Kuma vs Lars. I won't spend the brain power thinking too hard about it. 4th Match - Guess: Orange Ranks Answer: Yellow Ranks Alright, not too far off, but I wasn't right.
You don't actually have to manually input RA if you're using special style. It will automatically use it at the end of your air combo if you have rage. Crazy to me that people making all of these Tekken 8 videos don't know this stuff.
the kuma vs lars game lars didnt raw rage art. He probably wanted to press it and was watching the special style. you can see it flash and then lars inputs
"Okay, I have learned the combos, I am now safe to go into online and beat some noobs!" That poor Lars labbed the combos to get bodied by a special style bear omg this is hilarious and sad at the same time xD
First match; fujin and sweating with Jin since T7 and usually they're very proficient players. No way those two were Fujin, no duck punish on Paul strings and not one break on that 1+2, I'm fuming in laughter 😂😂😂
I guessed Fujin correctly for the first one because the Paul's punishment in the first match against Victor was optimized and you don't see that in red and below
Naw whaaat that first video i was already shocked how are they Fujin!?!?! I'm over here stuck in Tenryu, Mighty Ruler... why aren't none of my match ups like this lmao
watching it rn and nailing the first one was super easy, i KNEW they were exactly Fujin for a reason, never in teh match Victor pressed 2, it means that he KNOWS his movelist and has enough skill to not give in the primal impulse to mash 2
Omg I'm so gassed that I was close on the first one with victor. I thought Raijin. I didn't realise at this point that both players rank had to be the same. I was thinking battle ruler for the Paul.
I know they didnt show the names but I agree with PhidX for match 6 I called that sweaty King gameplay as Jesandy immediately. (If i had to guess I would call the Asuka Kingreyjr or someone similar of that level).
As a first-time Tekken player who just broke into red ranks, I was playing along and I did so much better than them and was only not close on one of them. I guess I empathize a lot more with low rank players like me and so I can get a good read.
It’s so hard to guess ranks theses days I literally recently bumped into a beginning with 100 power I was on like quick play and I was oh this should be quick and they were comboing me like crazy I was like what how my literally only guess is that they banged out the game on quick play learned a combo and hasn’t played rank yet
Is there a mod to add numbers to rank pictures? I know it shows at the start of the match, but it would be convenient to not have to remember the order.
im a complete noob but i did notice that Victor consistently pulled off a qcf-2 (shooting his pistol) a lower ranked player (me) wouldn't have nailed it perfect every time cos if you are new/inexperienced with fighting games its tricky to do. I guessed "somewhere in red ranks"
This proves that pretty much everyone plays the same. I literally can't tell the difference between an Eliminator and a Tenryu even when I'm playing. Even me personally, I've been using the same mixups the entire time I've been ranking up. Either they make the guess or they don't. Every touch is a 50% combo and you can win an entire round off one attack at the start of any given round. Once you hit the corner it's over.
man those kings felt very very low level instantly. Both of them not using an armor stance once, none of them using shining wizard, i thought they were beginners lol, and brawler is not far off
Thank you for having me! This was insane lmaooo
How did we not get Dora The Explorer LOL

Hilarious. Thank you. I needed that laugh.

@@goose-gz2ik lol yup
That's a horrible dora costume mehn
That's so funny, I love that the editor put the fake-outs in the rank reveal cause it is so hard to guess lol
The editor trolling with the rank is so good
That victor is 100% a plugger
nah victor just carries hard i got fujin in 2 days lol
the fake-outs in the rank reveal were so hype, lmao. nice touch, editor!!!
That fujin Victor is 100% a one-and-donner theres no way.
Tbh he was ducking the highs properly, that told me he was atleast decent. Maybe they were both on their sub chars
There’s massive rank inflation atm
My guess was Garyu and that was being generous lmao when i saw Fujin my jaw dropped
He would still need to win that first game against purple rank players over 50% of the time to get promoted to Fujin.
Nah, that dude is rank boosting somehow.
@edgelord it's not sub chars because Tekken prowess is right
That Azucena in match 2 was Dora the Explorer lmao
😅
The Azucena custom in the Match 2 is Dora The Explorer, @Diaphone

Guessing Rank in YTekken is much harder over SF
The match up knowledge is so important, I feel like most people, especially at lower ranks are in like a 9 rank band
@@El-Burrito what do you mean by 9 rank band? im genuinely curious (english is my 2nd language)
Probably would be way easier in tekken 7
@@isaiahtee9846English is my native language and i dont know what the fuck that means, don’t feel bad
@@isaiahtee9846 probably meant that they are all within a band (or range) of about 9 ish ranks of each other.
The king mirror, when you saw the dude eat the alley kicks… telltale sign it was either a green or low yellow rank

o damn good point
Can also unlock those through the Arcade story so it isn't a dead giveaway but it definitely can be an indicator
Nah I disagree. Because you can unlock those health bars in offline so I honestly wouldn't pay much attention to that detail.
You get them thru arcade tho

makes sense
There's so many factors that play into somebody's rank in Tekken that I honestly just kinda don't pay attention to them most of the time lol
Some people are lower rank because they've got good combos, but bad fundies so they can't land them
Some people are higher rank because they're carried by a gimmicky character or strong, annoying moves
Some people are Azucena
Some people just throw the movelist at you and rank up because they confuse their opponent to death
Some people are low rank in Tekken 8, but they've played a lot of Tekken 7 or other previous Tekken
Some people have varying ranks between consoles and platforms
Some people just know certain characters really well and are able to punish them more effectively
There's just a lot that goes into it. I've legit run into Fujins that have no idea what they're doing and Oranges that play better than the Tekken Gods I fought in T7
The best fighting game series of all time is back on the menu
When that Asuka held the rage art I cheered bro. Dumb rage art plays become smart rage art plays when you turn them into a mini game 😂
I love this format
Tekken rankdle would be such a fun idea for streamers to do with their communities. I need to see this happen NOW
Omg i love this type of series
You GOTTA make more of these

No way that first one was the rank it was, thats so sus. looks like how youd expect boosters to play.
Look at Paul's punishment in the first match. Also, Victors play like this even after Fujin tbh lol
The first fujin video threw everything outta whack lol. But the thing about tekken 8 ranks is that it's so easy to promote and demote that if you're having a good day or if all the opponents you're facing are just unfamiliar with your character then you could make it pretty high in the ranks even if you're just flow charting
idk if you picked it up but the shinru match they literally had the garyu banner so it couldn’t be lower unless they deranked
This was fun to watch.. I like the guess the rank 👍🏻
Honestly as fun as this is, it's really helping me stop worrying too much about rank. If that first match were Fujin players, imma be alright
33:50 I found that low rank reinas are gods at electrics, but their overall offense is lacking hence the raw df2, no ff2, no hell sweeps, no mix, but insane electrics.

Im crying in the club, them not knowing Dora lmao
that was fun!
more of these pls
25:16 "this combo is gonna be nasty"
me watching as King main: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
My biggest takeaway is there is more then one way to play Tekken and there isn’t a true “right” way.
Love this format. Do more please!

Paul : 50 dmg combo

This video hurts me. I remember struggling to get to red ranks in Tekken 7.
Meanwhile, that Victor game made me physically ill with how rough the game was played. It's easily confusable with vanquisher gameplay.
The tell for the King mirror was spamming rage art the second they lose their turn. A green rank specialty
U gotta remember, there's people like me that play more against friends than online then finally go online with a lot of skill and just start flying
How can you both not recognize Dora? :P
