Yeah, one thing BADLY needed I noticed going in to T8 is newbie guides that are ACTUALLY for newbies. So many of the big Tekken content creators are so experienced and so used to advising experienced players that they throw out high level tech like it's something you need to learn from day 1 and overall just use language and advice that doesn't apply to new players or is hard if not impossible to digest. Guides like this that actually start from the ground level and spell things out are excellent and sorely needed. Even if you technically did go over a higher level concept like frame data you fully explained it from the most basic level quickly and efficiently and didn't spend half the video pushing it as a necessary thing despite that fact it'll totally overwhelm new players, for example.
i agree. i loved this guide, tho even for me its a little much. i havent played tekken since tekken 3, even them button mashing exepert lol but it wasnt until mortal kombat X that i started learning moves and strategy. a MUCH slower game, and way less moves. now i come to this game, and even most "noob" guides are so complicated lol. but i will definitely revisit this video.
Most guides be like "this is how you move forward and backward, now spend the next 20 hours in training to learn these 100 moves with the corresponding frame data so you are prepared for chapter 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this beginner guide."
I know right.. like they keep talking about 1 4 1 3 etc like wtf do you even mean?
😂 all I heard in most beginners lessons was “1+2,4 cancel into this, tech that, plus on block, whiff punish, this is NOT SAFE ON WAKE UP OMFG DO NOT DO THIS ON WAKE UP, this takes you into stance but it’s -234 frames” excuse me???
You can tell this video is actually meant for beginners because it explains 1,2,3,4.
Lots of very good advise and cleanly put together.
Tekken 8 is my first real attempt at the fighting game genre. I don't think I can emphasize how well done this video is. I'm 32, big-time gamer, and always wanted to get into at least one of the popular fighting game IPs, but it seemed like a daunting task. This last year has been like a fighting game renaissance. The Tekken 8 hype online caught my attention and I finally had the guts to buy it a week ago. It's been super fun and this video has answered a lot of my questions. Thank you.
Yoo! That's me too! Haha
Just got the game yesterday 😂
I just bought T8 last night, but have been playing fighting games for quite a while. The difference between T8 and other games is, the amount of button/combo inputs, spacing, timing of combos/buttons, and learning matchups. Compared to SF6 and MK1 (the more known fighting games) T8 is def harder to jump into and be good
Make SURE you take your time learning. Frame data, matchup knowledge, whiff punishing, shimmy’s, etc are all advanced fundamental aspects of Fighting Games. But like Diaphone says, take it one step at a time.
Welcome! Try to have fun! And enjoy the journey while raging/winning 😜
@@beginningofajourney4077 in terms of the FGC it is widely considered that Tekken is the most technical due to the sheer amount of tech and 3d movement.
SF, MK and anime fighting games follow while Smash is treated as the party game
@@Gigi-zr6hp that’s literally what I said
Ive been a big fan of Tekken since the first game but always a casual level player. The end of Tekken 7 was the first time I'd truly knuckled down to learn the game. Man it's so hard and theres so many bad habits to unlearn. Switching your brain from casual "play by feel" to actually understanding what moves to use and when. And how to appropriately respond to your opponent.
Wish Id sort of sought this stuff out back in the day but this stuff just wasnt as prevalent.
Thank you Diaphone! Always love your guides.
Your videos are so down to earth. Great job as always!
Nice guide! The strategy section especially is phenomenal for a beginner and has some great insights.
Fantastic guide, Diaphone. It is concise, well edited, and very informative. Much appreciated, brother 👍
I really have to thank you for putting this video together!
I've been playing Tekken for fun since Tekken 3, and decided to really give playing 'for real' a try with 8, and to have someone actually laying out the basics like this REALLY helps! I know I still need to look into more general terms like what it means to be 'safe on block' and simple stuff like that, but having the fundamentals like the button numbering, options while down, and the basics of frame data and trading turns actually helped me to sneak into the yellow ranks online for the first time! Being able to actually start playing the game without immediately getting pummeled for only knowing how to button mash is helping me fall in love with this game all over again.
Im going to have to start calling you Sensei Diaphone 💪🏻 your guides have done me wonders on my fighting game journey!! About time I said Thankyou!!
Amazing video, the production quality is insane!!
"don't be afraid to reach out!"
*Video shows Aris*
Uh oh...
LOOOL. His old guides are actually GOATed tho
Any beginner, please feel free to ask Aris questions, he will love them
@@werdumed6665 Don't forget. Make sure to @ him with all caps to make sure he sees your question!
Out of the loop, what's up with him?
@@tableprinterdoor if you come into his chat and @ him with a question, especially one about Tekken, he will permaban you instantly
Love the detailed guides. I don’t even play most of the new games you stream but I watch all these just to see if there’s some sauce I’m missing out on.
Excellent video. Super clear and great explanation of each topic at hand
This video is superb. Easily digestible, informative, and entertaining. The best Tekken guide for a new player by far.
Not realy
This is the best fighting game video tutorial I’ve ever seen.
Great work!!!
Thanks for this, it's really helpful as T8 is really overwhelming! I can feel how good the game is but understand how little I know so I've just been trying to practice moves and learn them then I can move on to combos and a plan. I think I'll need to watch this a few times to get it all to sink in though so thanks for sharing!
Editing is top tier. Keep it up!!
Super casual Tekken player, Tekken 8 is the first I’m taking more seriously and trying to learn. Loving the experience and floating in orange ranks. My spacing and punishing is in vast need of improvement. The crazy KBD stuff I will likely never be able to pull off so working round that limitation and just gonna see where I can get to. I’m juggling between Bryan and Paul
yo! great taste with the character choices, bryan is my main and hes so damn buff in t8.
Defo check out Phidx's guide that came out a 2 days ago on kbd, i promise thats its not as hard as people make it seem! You got it :))
Both Bryan and Paul are hard to learn KBD on. I would at least try another character in practice mode and try the QCB, B method so you can get a feel for canceling movement even though it’s not the clean KBD version.
You're super casual and already orange? Damn dude. I'm diamond in sf6 and I consider myself casual. I'm ranger and getting my ass kicked. I'm watching replays and I noticed I just don't know what these characters do and I'm trying to footsie and play the game when my opponents are mashing
@@tangokilla I’m just plat 3 in SF6 tho the past while just really been playing casual matches to try and identify where to improve at that level.
The biggest thing that got me lit up in Tekken was crouch blocking by default. After a couple days I adjusted to that at least. I’m loving both games however and def plan to keep playing both. Who do you main in SF6?
@@jamalsiddique1362 thanks for the advice and recommendation. I’ll likely remain being a pad player just for the convenience of it when on the sofa etc. At least the Series X pad has a great d pad for fighting games
Dude this video is the one I have been looking for. Havent played tekken since 3 so this helps a ton.
I've been playing Tekken for the longest time, and never knew what the star meant in move lists...
Thank you.
You earned a like, and sub. c:
Nice guide! Bring back memories figuring what the hell is the STAR icon lol.
Thank you Diaphone. It's a really great beginner guide.
Very informative.
And very very nice visuals man!
Thank you for this guide, this is awesome!
this is amazing, googling tekken 8 beginner guides and getting wordy docs or two hour videos is so daunting, hats off to you, really appreciate. When I go 1-2 at locals, its for you =)
Love the content as usual!!!
Thank you for this video. Ive played tekken since 3 but never played it on a competitive level. Im gonna start playing it the right way
This is probably the best tekken beginner guide out there. About everything you could ask for, and not too much information either
Thank you very much for this useful and clear guide
props to the editor man, the editing for this vid is crisppp
My god the editing is so good Namco might as well make this the officila tutorial video.
Great video dude, keep it up!! ❤❤
Super good guide. Will recommend it to friends for sure. Maybe you could do another video with all the stuff you excluded? Something that can be progressed into after this one
Amazing guide for beginners. Thank you.
I play the avatar mod set for new player in the game. It"s long and there is almost anything axplain except for the heat mechanics... I have play some hours now and I had more infos in two minutes in your video than in 5 hours of gaming. Soooo well done ! And hank you a lot !
W guide. ain’t played tekken in like 11 years. excited to get into this one. i just hope im not to late and and will be able to enjoy becoming better thru online n not face sweats always. W tho🎉
Best guide. Thank you so much.
When linking multiple backdashes with crouch blocking, you can hold back after downback, before the neutral frame, and get the next backdash with only one back input. This is the fabled Korean Back Dash (kbd)
Fantastic video. Thank you
Really nice editing
Thank you for this video, playing this game without any knowledge of it is very difficult. Sad to see my main did not favourite to play character from 7 didn’t make it (Akuma but I’ve heard stories of him being op) as his style was much more familiar to me.
Great vid! Thx🎉
Something that needs to be said are the states characters will be in when hit normally and critically. Some moves put your opponent head first towards you on their back while some staggers them, or put them into a kneeling position, launching them with certain moves may make them spin like a screw etc.
best guide so far for beginners, straight to the point no extra fat
Best video ever. I tried watching other guides and this made so I can understand it. The very little thing like how to get up.
Do you have any anti juggling tips?
Really good Guide every new Player should watch this 👌
this should be the official tekken 8 guide. fantastic work.
You earned my sub. Very good job with the explanation. Thank you.
I haven't played a Tekken game in a very long time. Hopefully it's like riding a bike.😂
Thanks a lot for the guide, last 3d fighter I played was like DoA 3 i think? so long ago and picking up T8 seemed a little daunting
This is an amazing guide
Thanks diaphone!
Thank you 👍
Coming from soul calibur6 and these are really good advice. Keep it simple, one step at a time, watch the big boys, have fun :)
Haven’t played tekken since tekken 5 this is a big help
These guide will help a lot of people in the future.
Yo! I love you fgc content and was ready to scrap with your Azu. Something happened to the connection tho...maybe next time!
I know Hwo is a headache but the best advice i can give that actually helps is always look to step LEFT in NEU and if you block his attack (extremely generalized but it works wonder when trying to find reads).
Just start there. Constantly look for the step left in neutral.
So many overthinking that you pushed out how to teach other people and/or remedial people like me who have not yet bought it. Thank you very much
Great video 👍
Honestly best Tekken beginner guide on TH-cam.
every time a new fighting game comes out i know i can count on diaphone to dish out the best 101s on the platform
Best beginner guide out there thx
THANK YOU
Just purchased this game.. i always playef tekken 2&3... i honestly feel 2 old for the new one haha so many buttons compared to back then xD but love this video ! Will help alot i hope hihi 🤩
The strategy section is great
Best Guide, thx a lot
cant wait to get this game next month
Yea wait until u get to purple ranks its a whole different ball game.. i feel like im playing in evo every match😂
LOL same
My Guv got to Mighty Ruler yesterday after a week of being dead stuck. I can't wait to get insta demoted back to Reds when I get back in the grind. :)
Thanks so much, I'm buying the game today
Jun main here ! Thanks for the guide. Destoyer rank. Hope i can go to Garyu 🤞
The strategy part is what is missing from all beginners guides. Well done.
thank you Dphone
Great video. Someone send this to Ellum.
what a great video! Im watching this while the game downloads! great editing too really appreciate you putting this information out there
Thanks for the well made guide dude ! However I still have one question which remains unanswered but it is about knowing which steps to be taken once you start the game. Should I start training mode / ghost mode / arcade mode / story mode ? I am kinda paralyzed because I have no route to follow :(😢
Just bought it today after trying the demo, this guide will help with not getting demolished even in the story mode 😂
amazing vid
Bless you! First Tekken game I've owned and started having a panic attack
Now that Lidia is coming i just bought the game and shit is overwelming. Thank you for the quick guide.
I struggle playing against aggressive characters like Hwoarang and Devil Jin. I try to block, but they still seem to have the advantage, or get through with mix-ups. Guess I need to use my 1 jab more?
Great guide btw! I only came here to find out how to roll on the floor (sideways) 😂 You didn't mention f1+2 on the floor to dive at them? Is that a bad tactic?
I love how you very casually snuck in an explanation of KBD for newer players
I find it interesting that the community calls it while standing when I personally prefer while rising cus it sounds more intuitive and makes more sense (in my head atleast)
Yeah mainly because WR is already used for while running
Back in the day you'd read notation more than you'd hear people speak, hence WS, instead of WR, which stood for While Running.
yo i need this badly i thank u
I’m definitely going to be using this guide to start with and obviously once I get past Ganryu, I will definitely be starting to learn more about advanced movement and things like that, in fact I may start learning it now so, I hopefully have a good understanding of it by the time I reach the rank past Ganryu or whatever it is called etc.
Thanks for the tips and stuff, I lose pretty much every online fight, most of it is due to some weird input latency though like 5 seconds or more, not sure how how to resolve it, im on the PC
diaphones the fucking goat TY FOR THE GUIDE
Nice
I'm Shinryu now and here the game starts. The rank chart shows it exactly.
This my first real tekken experience and i love it... That said im a few days in and my only real complaint is hitting L1(PS) to get simple combos. I hit L1 then triangle 3 times to get a 3 part combo i only know the first 2 parts to w way less inputs... Why is that a thing...
I do wish you covered types of knockdown, back turned stance and chain grabs because I’m pretty sure these will confuse players way more if they think they know but don’t know
Don’t get me wrong, this was a fantastic guide, I wish I had, but these are just some of the shortcomings I noticed
funny how this is way more informative than the official guide bamco uploaded with tmm lol
This is my first tekken ever I'm more of an mk player so I know nothing. I just want to ask why I'm not doing special moves instead I'm doing the basic move every time. Am I not pressing the D-pad fast enough in the direction or something along that line?
The part that's definitely making me struggle the most is knowing when and where to punish. I know that there's a punishment guide for each character, but with so many moves for each character, I struggle to keep these in mind and just cant punish correctly
The biggest problem is reaction for me. Even if I know to punish the move on block, I am unable to react that quick to punish.
During a match see a move that's blowing you up and try and punish it with jabs, then with 12-13 frame, then with a launcher. Depending on your char, for some best sub 15 punish is just jabs. Or just play a bunch and see which moves annoy you the most and lab them first. Build your punishes over time. Learning punishment only applies to opponents who actually have a plan, tho.
5:14 Using Kings Giant Swing isn't the best for visual representation since he's one of the exceptions for the 1 grab, but holy fuck this video is well made! I wish I had this shown to me when I began, the frame data section is fucking lit. 6:10 The back dash only has 2 back inputs the first time you back dash, so it actually looks like ⬅⬅ ⭐ ⬅↙⬅ ⭐⬅↙⬅ ... ect, and also you want to end on a back instead of neutral so it'd be ↙⬅ ⭐ ⬅(delay for 13 frames) into↙⬅ ⭐ ⬅ repeating, because the down back is canceling the backdash. Anakin has told beginners that they can use ⬅⬅⬇⭐⬅⬅⬇⭐(Technically it's more unsafe, but if you hold back when the opponent is approaching, it can be an alternate way that's easier for beginners to move faster) . 7:08 Generally you want to be techrolling, unless you know what you're doing. Randomly mixing gets you killed more often. Staying on the ground tip is very good! 13:33 very underrated concept. Intro, attacks, wake-up options, rage/heat, strategy and general tips was a phenominal way to cover so much ground! Very cool guide 10/10.
W guide
I’m playing ps5 on ps5 controller. I feel like there’s not enough time to complete combos. I mostly play in practice mode on the combo sampler.
I use Leroy, Steve, Hwoarang.
I was able to do about 3-4 samplers for each of em.
But then it gets into the “white arrow” and “black arrow” samplers and I’m running out of time mid combo to input all of it.
It doesn’t help that the arrows are also directional.
I’ve switched from using the control stick for movement to the D-pad.
It’s just frustrating because I always seem to be running out of time. So the characters won’t complete the combo.
The “move preview” doesn’t help because they do the move so fast that it doesn’t let me see what each individual step of the combo should look like. I can’t slow it down.
In my experience what works best is to just press all the buttons in a combo as fast as possible. Then I can sit back and watch the combo get executed. Rather than one button press at a time which means the character never goes into “combo stringing” mode.
I’m trying to learn the tempo of the button combos I want to go into devlKazuya and I can’t find the rhythm to input
Thanks Dad!
Ah yes. The graceful John Kazama
Which characters do you recommend? The three I’ve been playing, Paul, Reina, and Steve, most say are some of the toughest 😂
Paul is definitely easier than the other two, but I recommend just playing who you like. It all evens out in the end
