The way you broke down the ff2 makes it sound super simple. Either SSL and block or jab her right after the first hit. Playing it any other way presents higher risk-reward, but exposes you to her mix-up. Great video.
So glad you liked it! I tried to show counter play that can be used with any character
Great short, and straight to the point guide !
Thank you!
This guide is a legit godsend,easy to digest, and is a nice start to labbing against this character
Thanks! So happy you liked it
You can backdash sen.3 and its safe against sen.2 and sen.4 since you dont crouch. Not sure if there are backdash fuzzy crouch timings to beat the grab/low option
I despise how easy Reina turns Tekken into a guessing game with FF2 being so easy to execute 😭🙏
Bro, her FF2 is not the end all be all of Tekken. It's literally just a string with some decent options. Reina is not an S tier character. Meanwhile you have characters like Alisa, Feng, Drag, Azucena, Jin, Law omg the list just goes on and on, so many bullshit moves mental stacking you into oblivion.
Nice explanations, very demonstrative.
Glad it was helpful!
love your style of videos bro, subbed, please more like this!
Thanks for the sub! More to come
THANK YOU KING
Nice video dude but man i just hate how easy ff2 put you in a 50 50
Yeah it’s pretty brain dead
Julia's ff1 situation
Exactly. She's Julia with an ewgf 😂
Essentially, yeah
Doesn’t sound like a 50/50 after watching this. Is it?
Yo, Tekken devs need to watch this video. Reina is obviously too easy to counter, this video is a good reference for where Reina requires her much needed buffs.
In all seriousness, great vid. As a Reina player it helps knowing what counterplay my opponents may have for her moves. Can't wait for counterplays for other characters, Dragunov, Hwaorang and Eddy are matchups I struggle with personally.
Thanks, figured you were just joking with the first comment haha!
I want to get more content for tekken out but I think I might hold off on character specific ones until the May balance batch. These videos take a long time to make and I don’t want the info to be irrelevant in a month
Thanks a lot, my dude!
You bet!
Super nice video man, make more!
I took a break from tekken but I hope to get back into it. I will try to make more once I’m able to shake off the rust
Late to the party but regardless great video. Hope there r more simple guides like this 👍🏾
Glad you enjoyed!
LOL and here I am watching this to anticipte how people will counter my Reina
That works too!
bro i just blocked you for commenting that
Me?
She’s way too much guessing: either duck or sidestep or block or if she does this don’t duck… like how many options does she need?
I think it’s not so much the guessing, kid how easy it is for her to get in with FF2. It *is* step able but that can be really inconsistent depending on range
@@Chris_F when you have to stand there and constantly block and guess and die something is wrong. Other characters have clear moves or 3 or 4 hit strings and you then take your turn. With her it’s constant fast unreactable strings into stance into strings…. Never ends. Worse than hwoarang tbh.
@paradiseb5950 oh I agree that it’s dumb.
I was just saying more along the lines of like, if I were to balance this in an upcoming patch, I’d probably make FF2 harder to use in neutral rather than nerf her options after.
This way, good players can deal with it by playing better neutral and avoiding getting out into a mixup in the first place
@@paradiseb5950 I second this motion. I hate characters like Reina and Jun where you can't really tell if their combo is over, because their animations are simultaneously waaay to acrobatic (usually signifying an end to a string/combo) and quick (allowing for stringing or comboing further). And this is coming from a Lars main.
Great guide!
Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!
Fantastic video thanks for figuring out this for me lol
So glad it helped!
Jokes on you im a new tekken and reina player so idk how to do any of this
Since you can't SS into the foreground while crouched, what is the optimal response to Reina F+4 when on P2 side?
You can either commit to block or disrespect her + frames with something like a dickjab
noob here. against which characters would you NOT default to standing block? i thought you should stand block everyone.
Against characters with really good lows. Dragunov, feng, devil jin/jin, lili and kazuya come to mind. You wouldnt default to low block against them, but you’ll need to block low more often since they get really good reward after their lows
Is there a way to deal with her stance switching? As in interupt.
No single option to cover everything bc she’s plus after switching into stance from ff+2
3:00 arent you side stepping right here?
The sidestep is to attempt dodging ff2 in neutral but the tracking is oddly good at midrange
wait that throw after the ff4 isn't teachable? Then what throe have I been breaking???
The throw after FF2 is not techable
@@Chris_F so I rewatched my replays and you're right! The Renia was using a 2 break throw for their mix. I hope they don't watch this video... 🫠
@BlazinTre even if they do you got the knowledge
@@Chris_F facts. Ty Sensei.
1:16 Hei situation where you only comfortable against her on P1 side. That wouldn't work on P2... sadly.
Thanks for the info, thought I was slow on p2 side
@@jayishikawa4150 nope, in tournaments I ALWAYS coin flip for P1 side agaist Mishimas. They are way too good if they pick P1, they shut you down...
Although it is possible to crouch cancel and SSL on P2 but you need hitbox/mixbox for that.
@zangana3052 if I'm on p2 side I throw them to switch sides even if they tech lol
@@antnee8904 I always do lmfaoooo
I don't want to hear any BS about how FF2 is broken whan Hwoarang is throwing out 100 kicks, Alisa is flying across the damn screen, Yoshi unblockable low, etc etc haha
the grab puts u in oki tho and reina is ew with it
Very true, def not a fun character to fight at the moment IMO
Hwaorang is next right 🥴
Maybe! I gotta work on that matchup myself
Hwo is fine 😂. Not need to go there.
I hit like and I I out a comment 😉
I request the following knowledge check characters

@@Chris_F azucena
"reina has mediocre lows"
"reina has hellsweep"
🤦♀ bruh🤦♂
the amount of reina players just pressing 1,1 really pisses me off like they are in minus frames -3 and they still press xD
Frustrating for sure, but fighting Reina players is a great way to learn how to deal with people who press even when minus
Delete the video
That’s how know I did a good job 👍
how to say you're a reina main without saying you're a reina main
Really not a great video tbh…
A Reina player I see lol
I demand you delete this video at once
Not until they patch this character! J/K
Delete this please
My work here is done
