One thing I wanted to point out, when you do a string that is -5 or something like that and you go into Silent or Dynamic Entry you are in fact not safe, you cannot block in those two stances. Only Limited Entry allows you to block while in stance
Thank you bro I’m brand new to tekken and wondering who to play this was an amazing in depth guide! Shootout to the other guy helping I’ll consider Lars now🔥 also I hope your TH-cam takes off you deserve it keep grinding👍🏾
I just started reallt taking Tekken seriously on T8 as a person who only played T5-T7 just for fun but I stg Lars is actually insane. Been playing and mains him for a while now and he is very much an aggressor and pressure fighter, he’s also very good at baiting as his silent entries are just fast asf
Thank you for the guide, I really struggle to understand Lars while I fught him and he is in my list of chars I want to learn so i'm starting now, and I really find it hard to be comfortable with all the moves and stances but I will learn it slowly 😁 I already made my "understanding the game well speedrun" with Victor 😅
I'm actually surprised I don't see a lot of pro players picking up Lars. As a Lars main since Tekken 6, he feels like Tekken 6 Lars again in a lot of ways. Just crazy fun.
Use to main Lars in Tekken 7 from 2019-the beginning of 2021. I am outta practice so I am re learning him and not letting my muscle memory get myself killed in battle against opponents who never stopped playing XD
So i should just focus on being able to do these sets of inputs first without screwing up before moving on to more complicated stuff? Great video I'm now just really starting to delve into tekken I played Tekken 2 on playstation and a little of tekken 7 but l have some fighting game experience I'm not coming in completely fresh. EDIT: What a great video haha i learned to do the low silent stance 1 where he hits the low and jumps thru them with heat and beat a bryan my first match thanks again!!
just to correct , df2 into Se is not safe at all its launch punishble if your oppnent knows you going to Se by just doing like df2 regular launcher , so its actualy better to do the minus 11
I fought a spammy kicks Hoawarang yesterday and dont know how to Punish his Kick string because it seems very Plus on Block, what should i do with Lars against Spammers?
Id say yes. The stances are not too complex and his movelist is fairly compact. Only downside for beginners is that lars involves a bunch of directional inputs. Easy ones but it makes a difference using a 1,2 input or a F1,2 input. Also adding the forward input after certain hits to go into stance has to be in your mind. However thats also how far it goes. So its not that difficult to manage but a little different to the even easier characters that give you a bunch of good strings. Also Lars greatly benefits from mapping 1+4, 1+2 and 3+4 to the bumpers since you get good moves with it but you also use them in combos thats why i bind those. If you play on pad i recommend removing the rage art bind as its done by df1+2 which you can do like that.
@@Corey91666not trynna be rude but why are you specifically mapping 1+2 or 3+4 those buttons ate right next to each other and arent even hard to press. I understand 1+4 or 2+3 because those are diagonal.
@@Aye_itsju i personally think that if you need to use alot of those inputs in combos it adds needed consistency. I dont map these for other characters but it also depends on your input system or how you play. I play on pad and if you dont want to map them you can increase consistency by playing claw which i dont. Of course if you manage without that its ok but rage art nowadays is such an easy input that i feel mapping specifically that is almost a waste for your shoulders buttons. I get where you are coming from though.
Please do one for lee! Im a beginner and so many ppl say lee is a rlly hard character to play. It'd be great having a beginner guide for him with easier combos and gameplan.
@@SimplyTrey oh ok. I'm a beginner too, I did play t6 and t5 on psp, and the others through emulations. T7 not so much, and I didn't really played the other tekken games professionally, I just button mashed. T8 is where I wanna play it properly.
What makes lars cooler now is when he enters his stances there are freaking lighting sparks leaving a trail behind him.
yeah he's never been cooler
His default outfit isn't great, his alt 3 is great though.
Exactly that and being able to chance his Noctis hair makes him finally decent to look at LOL

Very helpful guide, just what i was looking for. I always start learning a character by learning their safe mids
I just started reallt taking Tekken seriously on T8 as a person who only played T5-T7 just for fun but I stg Lars is actually insane. Been playing and mains him for a while now and he is very much an aggressor and pressure fighter, he’s also very good at baiting as his silent entries are just fast asf
Lars, Jin Kazama and Yoshimitsu are my top 3
Althought started with 3, Lars was the man in ttt2. Im just glad that his df 1 is one of his best pokes for a long time
OMG this is EXACTLY what I'm looking for! You are just SPITTING out content, thank YOU SO MUCH!
Very helpful guide for understanding Lars' basic options. Thank you!
great analysis! as a lars main in t7, it’s cool and exciting to see his buffs and new options :D really cool video bro
Glad you enjoyed!

Is df2 into stance really good as a mid check? On block Lars is in stance and can't block.

Really hope you do one on Jun soon! I'm just getting into this game and your types of videos are great
Will be doing jun pretty soon
Subscribed. Good vid I’m learning Lars this tekken
Lars is cool in this game
Ive mained the character for Id say a good 10 years but HE FEELS SO Different, and I feel like some moves got taken out and or replaced
Why take away stomp as d3+4 and put it on his DEN? That still screws me.😒
Subbed thank you so much for the guide!
Glad it helped!
I miss some of his moves from Tekken 7 , now out, I used a lot.
is his worse or better? Coming to tekken 8 after a long break since tekken 4, and Lars has my attention the most
Here hoping to learn how to fight the bayblade smh
Is Lars a good option for new players? Im Mortal Kombat player and changing to tekken now with Tekken 8
hes ok for new players, the only odd part of him to get used to is his stances but its not that complicated
I fought a spammy kicks Hoawarang yesterday and dont know how to Punish his Kick string because it seems very Plus on Block, what should i do with Lars against Spammers?
Powercrush (1+2) works great on them. Also, try low parrying once you see a common pattern in their strings.
Good guides so helpful - asuka guide soon ? As she is a good beginners character
yeah, asuka is great for beginners
I’m waiting for the hwoarang guide can’t get a feel of the offense pressure
Really good video
Glad you think so!
now i can finally beat lars players

What should I do for wall combo ender?
Back 1 got nerfed. Mostly bc of system mechanics imo. Still a great tool
yeah I heard it doesnt work in combos anymore
I NEED VICTOR PLEASE. Pretty please. But… with a cherry on top.
coming soon!
@@Boogard thanks
This Lars guide was a nice one
glad you liked it
starts at 1:41
Please put timestamps helps the learning process so I can return to the video later 👍🏽
Can you do law next I haven’t played since Tekken 3 when it was Forrest law marshals son
Will be doing law pretty soon probably in the next few days
@@Boogard awesome
Pls do a why you should main bryan
Please do one for lee! Im a beginner and so many ppl say lee is a rlly hard character to play. It'd be great having a beginner guide for him with easier combos and gameplan.
You have to be really good at timing to get lee down
So is Lars complicated or easy? Coz everyone keeps saying he's brain dead easy
Once you kinda get a flow chart mindset he’s easier than some characters.
His flow is easy, but his game is kinda hard, you will have to mix up highs, lows, and mids but i say easy, not brain dead. Thats eddy
Ima need me a devil jin guide
Coming tommorow
Hwoarang soon?
1,2 h,h always jails so there is no risk 1:57
thanks for the correction
Please do Bryan/victor/azucena/Steve 🙏🥺
will definitely be getting to all of them eventually
Please make devil Jin guide
Done
Lei chaobla guide ?

Dude iam shocked that he lost his 2 1 and the strings that come to it where you could pressure people with and do wall some short wall travel.. K
Who is that guy in the vc again? He sounds SUPER sexy if you ask me
