Its Tekken 8 Season! So as you would expect, the guides will flow. Lets start with these 10 essential tips, covering gameplay aspects at all levels of play. If you are new to Tekken the game indeed can be daunting, but the fighting game way of things is to train, learn, and improve so lets get your feet on the ground and start your fighting game journey! Give the video a watch, timestamps for your ease of use are here, like if ya liked it, and let me know what ya think!
Love it man, I haven't even gotten to fire up the game yet...yet there's a tutorial from my boy ready for me to check before I hop on! Grade S+ TH-camr Roof! 🦍
Great Tips for anyone new to Tekken. You are the best tutor for FG's in general, for a reason. Tekken is definitely the GOAT of FG's ngl. Appreciate all your effort and excited to see what you bring to the table in the coming days ahead
And yes, Choose a Main for Tekken is coming. I am gonna eat something and then basically im working, no sleep, until its done. Hopefully live later tomorrow night, expect it to be well over 2 hours long but thats just how things go lol. Leave some likes and pray for me cause im gonna be fueled by your energy and some red bulls pumping out the content for the next few days
Just wanna say I appreciate all the effort you put in in order to get these guides out so quick every time there’s a new release. You’re seriously the goat keep doing what you do
Played the first Tekken at an arcade in Stockholm summer 1994 and was blown away! It was one of those 50" back-projection cabinets with huge speakers hooked up (like big Cerwin-Vega 15" woofer towers) and the sound was cranked up so high that the sound effect of the characters falling to the ground made the whole seat rumble. Now, come this evening, after work, I'm heading to a friends place to play Tekken 8 on his 65" with a Bose sound system and subwoofer, drinking beer, eating snacks and having one hell of a time! Good times, love this game series! 🤩😍❤🍻 Cheers all you Tekken fans out there!
@@mikeykane5938 It was as fun as I had imagined! God this game is good! And even as just a couch play game with friends, tinkering with different characters, it's a blast! Go buy!
Tha ks for the explanations and I had fun doing the combo challenges for kuma and king took me 3 hours but I finish both man thay lost is insane of combos weel is gonna take a lot of time before I jump to online
Preciate how fast you get these up. This is my first Tekken so wasn't really sure where to go to but definitely gonna come back here to learn how to get better. Thanks for the hard work Rooflemonger!
Roofle-sama! You're a legit gift to fighting games. This is my first Tekken. Fired it up, looked at the movelist for my main and then immediately went to yt for starter tips cause i got overwhelmed😂. I knew for sure you would've posted. Thank you so much for everything you do.
Roofle I went off your guides in SF6 early days as a first time SF player and it gave me the foundation to make it to master. I plan on (hopefully) doing the same for tekken! You give the most digestible and understandable information and I appreciate all you do!
Heat Smash reminds me of Exceed Accel in BlazBlue: Centralfiction 22:04 Just now noticing how that stage's wind affects the hair physics. Looks freaking awesome
Don't forget everyone its OK to lose! Even the pros who have been playing tekken for forever still get perfected, comboed to oblivion, missed moves, etc. GOOD LUCK! JUST LET LOOSE
Got onto your channel when Mk1 dropped. I have never seen a more well-designed character guide, across any game, than the one you did for Shao. As someone who has never touched Tekken in their lives, I can't tell you how relieved I was to see that you were also making content for it. Keep up the great work! You make complete newbies like me much more interested in learning and playing the game.
This game gives you so many tools . It really wants you to become good which in return keeps the player base high I guess . I am having a blast so far and didn't know a fighting game could surprise me in so many ways . Thanks for the effort roofle ! As always 180 Damage content ❤
Thank you for making this video. It's been such a long time since I played a Tekken game, so these tips really help. I'm also looking forward to this game's "Choose a Main", even though I've already decided on mine. They're still very interesting to watch, and it's useful to know how each character works.
Looking forward to the continued Tekken content! I'm glad you highlighted the replay features because that's low-key one of the coolest additions. I'd highly recommend that new players or people just getting back into Tekken watch a couple of their own replays with the tips on. The game will highlight opportunities for punishes or better combos, let you watch a demo of whatever it recommends, and then let you practice it in the same situation as the match. It's a great learning tool.
Playing for the first time tonight against some friends with a few hours on the game. This guide is the only leg up I've got and I appreciate it! I'll do my best to make you proud.
This is insane one of the hardest parts in labbing tekken for me was trying to recreate a situation but I couldn’t find certain opponent characters moves so being able to jump straight in from the replay is really awesome people are going to get really good at this game
Amazing video, you so deserve more attention on your channel. Hope the upcoming guides go smoothly for you, and curious if you have a main picked in this game yet
yeah first thing I did was make Jack-01 eva style lol, that stage though honestly doesn't show off the colours the best though, lighting is a bitch I guess
Man! I'm LOVING Tekken 8 so far! Good to know that the damage scaling goes back up after a heat dash during combos, so it can be worth using to cash out damage late in said combo. :o
I was deadly serious about tekken ball when I was younger, so maybe. When i was watching the tekken ball exhibition I was screaming at the screen on how they just didnt understand
I dont even play Tekken and i watch ur video time to time but i love it the first time when i play on my cousin playstation 1🤣i really love to watch tournaments and see high level play so when i watch video like yours it make me understand more the little things that top player do. Keep it up! Greetings from Montreal😎
I picked up tekken 7 last year. First thing i wanted to do was learn korean back dash lol. Took me atleast 4 or 5 weeks practicing for hours and hours everyday until i got it down. Then i learned the moves lol. Skating across the screen feels so good im glad i did that it was totally worth it. Roofle you da man.
I was going to wait for a sale or more review but the practice and shadow mode sold me out. So far it seems that many of the online feature has improved too and feel like finally listen to the rollback netcode and crossplay
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. MY JOURNEY WITH TEKKEN 8 BEGINS NOW!!! roofl i fking love you.. keep them guides coming.. its literally 6 AM for me im still awake, just finisshed the story and i cant get enough of this game ITS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
I have been mashing with King since I was like 5 years old. After actually learning fighting games and becoming a real fan the last few years Im excited to give tekken a real try
At first I was concerned because we going over basics and he recommended jumping over lows, but beside that everything in this video is something I would easily recommend to a new player. There were some things I forgot were added like the replay takeover feature.
I just want to at I really enjoyed watching this video. The layout & voicing was fantastic and kept me engaged. I have learned some very useful tips for Tekken 8 from you. Thank you for the great content and i will check out your other vids.
as a mainly SF player your guides have been great for getting me into a bunch of other fighting games. appreciate all the hard work you put into these 💪 🙏
classic legacy mechanic. Hit all 4 buttons at the same time and you charge up, and your next hit will be a counter-hit always. That said, if you get hit, thats also a coounter hit so double edge sword
As a 2D fighting game player, the mid/high discrepancy is confusing me. Are mids basically like overheads in other games? And highs function like mids from other games (can be blocked high or low) but can be low profiled?
Thanks Roofle! As a casual sf6 and MK1 player, I see people mention that Tekken is so much more complex. I wonder why that is, curious to hear your thoughts.
3d fighters just have a lot more moving parts as a whole, so there's just that much more to learn. Not any one thing is actually more difficult, in fact a lot of things are easier than 2d fighters, but you just have to learn a lot.
Ahh man I can’t wait to see how Lee Chaolan plays.. MK1 R1ps arena player here, I might try out Tekken, I haven’t played since I was a kid , like 12 years old and that was the one off Tekken 4 . I’m 29 now lol
been just mashing buttons with my m8s but time to learn the game for real! loving kazuya n steve atm, steve was my best character in 5 but was a long time ago lol azucena is sick as well! low grabs n stance dodging! i bet she looks sick played at a high level
I'm still not super hyped for T8 but I bought in because my local scene is. Hopefully once I get some time to really try it out tonight I get convinced. Thanks for the tips. That's also an awesome outfit on Reina.
Give it time. I'm a SF / GG fan but have played tekken very, VERU casually since I was a kid. Tekken is so much deeper than the others with so many moves and properties of attacks. My mates who are weapons absolutely swear by it though. I'm having so much fun with Lee on this game. God damn it's fun and beautiful!

Waiting for your video before I I play the game. The roster is too big and 8 didn’t include my tekken 7 character.
Great Tips for anyone new to Tekken. You are the best tutor for FG's in general, for a reason. Tekken is definitely the GOAT of FG's ngl. Appreciate all your effort and excited to see what you bring to the table in the coming days ahead
Rooflemonger can you make a brief video about using the special style controls? 😊
Thank you for this guide!!

You're doing the Lord's! work Rooflemonger can't wait !
Please remember to take care of yourself! Everyone watching will be there the minute you post it, even if that's a week from now. Love the videos!
Take as much rest as you need!! We can wait
Our Savior has posted! Let the content storm begin! Thank you for all of your hard work and we will be patiently waiting, take care of yourself!
"no sleep" too many people underestimate sleep. Please rest Rooflemonger. We can wait brotha!

Agreed dude. Couldn’t agree more.
Replay system is incredible. Fighting games continue to evolve in really fun ways.
I’m actually surprised it took this long to implement.
Except mortal kombat
@@adin9156NRS keeps disappointing man, it’s just sad at this point. But I’m happy street fighter 6, Granblue Rising, and now Tekken 8 released 🙏
Yes. Now get to training to secure that Chipotle Burrito Drop Sponsorship.

The Tekken 8 era is finally upon us! Thank you for being with us, as a guiding light, on this wonderful journey!
Preciate how fast you get these up. This is my first Tekken so wasn't really sure where to go to but definitely gonna come back here to learn how to get better. Thanks for the hard work Rooflemonger!
So glad you posted. Your SF guides made me improve significantly and I can’t wait to dive into Tekken with you!
You showing that Leroy Ip man stuff just makes me want to main him. So sick.
Ya... Fluidly dispersing an opponents hits, then striking back? Looked badass as hell!
@@robsonclark9678 Right!?! I had no idea his move set went that hard.

Its my very first Tekken, your guides in the past have been essential and im glad to continue my tradition of learning alongside you!
Play Tekken 3 if you can. It's the best one in my opinion.
@@LionOfJudah83 I'd rather play an active game, thanks for the advice though! :)
Roofle I went off your guides in SF6 early days as a first time SF player and it gave me the foundation to make it to master. I plan on (hopefully) doing the same for tekken!
You give the most digestible and understandable information and I appreciate all you do!
Heat Smash reminds me of Exceed Accel in BlazBlue: Centralfiction
22:04 Just now noticing how that stage's wind affects the hair physics. Looks freaking awesome
its why I picked that stage specifically, pauls hair goes nuts on it lol
He forgot his hairspray in this Tekken
Don't forget everyone its OK to lose! Even the pros who have been playing tekken for forever still get perfected, comboed to oblivion, missed moves, etc. GOOD LUCK! JUST LET LOOSE

Good content. It's easy to absorb what you are saying despite the speed at which you deliver the information.
Sir not even 20 minutes ago I was searching for this video on your channel. I thank you 🙏🏾 🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥
Amazing video, you so deserve more attention on your channel. Hope the upcoming guides go smoothly for you, and curious if you have a main picked in this game yet
In love with the Roofle-Jack. Absolutely fire
yeah first thing I did was make Jack-01 eva style lol, that stage though honestly doesn't show off the colours the best though, lighting is a bitch I guess
Love your videos man, keep up the good content
Roof u are amazing I consider my self advanced in tekken and there is still so much to learn great video u always deliver.
Ayo this game knocks it out of the park with everything holy shit I love Reina
Roofle coming in clutch with the content as always
Roof! Thanks for that Bonus Tip! It’s always a blessing watching your videos all the way through 💯
I played the demo and it was my first Tekken and fell in love definitely gonna be watching alot of your tekken video
Man! I'm LOVING Tekken 8 so far! Good to know that the damage scaling goes back up after a heat dash during combos, so it can be worth using to cash out damage late in said combo. :o
Hoping we get a 'Choose your main' video for Tekken as well! Have never played before so I have no clue who any of these characters are
working on it right now, taking a small break. Hopefully live later tonight
What a time to be into fighting games! Thanks for always enhancing it with your videos. Great work!! 😊
I appreciate all the work you do. I always come to you for guides
Thanks allot for all of this. Haven't played this game in years so watching this is a big help. 🙂👍
It’s a Good Day when Rooflemonger drops a video 🙏🏽
Youre the goat rooflemonger, just try to pace yourself, dont want you hurting yourself and keep being the goat you are
Ready for the grind roof let’s get these videos get that Red Bull ready 😂

Yo roofle I love your videos and I hope to become a Tekken master from your videos keep up the amazing work bro
Thank you for this guide!!
Thank you for your continued hard work. Especially back to back with Uni2 and Tekken 8.
2:56 Azucena can FLOSS?!? Already loved her, but now she is my Queen 🧎
Those replay features are SICK
I’m dl the game rn I just got back and bought it im so excited
Exactly wat I was looking for good video
Can't wait for the Tekken Ball guide and tier list videos 😄
I was deadly serious about tekken ball when I was younger, so maybe. When i was watching the tekken ball exhibition I was screaming at the screen on how they just didnt understand
I dont even play Tekken and i watch ur video time to time but i love it the first time when i play on my cousin playstation 1🤣i really love to watch tournaments and see high level play so when i watch video like yours it make me understand more the little things that top player do.

21:35 You heard it here first Tekkenners, this will be the new meta
Great video. Can't wait to get this game!
Thanks for the guide rooflemonger! I was looking forward to this guide from you
Oh man, with them replays, I can only imagine the fights people will make and create. It’s gonna be amazing.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. MY JOURNEY WITH TEKKEN 8 BEGINS NOW!!!
roofl i fking love you.. keep them guides coming.. its literally 6 AM for me im still awake, just finisshed the story and i cant get enough of this game ITS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
try playing tekken 1 after tekken 8 and be blown away by the significant difference in gameplay. How far we have come in 30 years
That controllable replay option is genius.
Fantastic video as always, will there be a beguiners guide like the one you did for mk1 and sf6?
yep beginners guide will be after the choose a main video
This video is AWESOME. I’m an OG casual player but i still learned a lot 😊.
So helpful, thank you 🥷
Very useful, earned a subscriber. Thanks!
Thanks, this was great!!!
This man is seriously going to do another “Choose Your Main” after just getting done with Unist 2. 😭
I serve at the will of the people
Excited for rooflelonger vids when a new game drops. 👍
I havent tried the online yet, but everything else feels awesome. Hoping this game will have a full, good lifespan.
I’m drooling waiting for the pick your tekken main video. Never played these games before super hype
Ima start using "that's all she wrote" as part of my regular vocabulary
I have been mashing with King since I was like 5 years old. After actually learning fighting games and becoming a real fan the last few years Im excited to give tekken a real try
Same here but with yoshimitsu/dragunov.
At first I was concerned because we going over basics and he recommended jumping over lows, but beside that everything in this video is something I would easily recommend to a new player. There were some things I forgot were added like the replay takeover feature.

My goat back at it already
as a mainly SF player your guides have been great for getting me into a bunch of other fighting games. appreciate all the hard work you put into these 💪 🙏
that rewind feature is awesome! SF6 and Tekken 8 both have amazing new features. Damn!
Thank you Roofle, you've given me homework to study! :D
I already know who I’m gonna main but I’m excited to hear you talk about all the characters none the less
Need that replay tech in SF6 🔥
I dont even know if Im gonna buy this but yk how it goes I still gotta watch
lol right. i even watch these for games i never heard of or wont be buying (rooflemonger did get me into GranBlue though)
My king 👑 Rooflemonger. Thank you for your work.
the replay feature is crazy, they should have put some marketing into that
What is ki charge? Mentioned during counter hit section
classic legacy mechanic. Hit all 4 buttons at the same time and you charge up, and your next hit will be a counter-hit always. That said, if you get hit, thats also a coounter hit so double edge sword
just a heads up, in T7 you cant block when you're in the ki-charge state. Ki-charging is also seen as some as a taunt (like ki-charging after a round)
well. This is the best replay mode ive ever seen in a fighting game
Been here since your marvel infinite lessons. Looking forward to learning tekken from you now. Never played one before😅
Its a good one to get started on, and thanks for being here on this crazy ride
Thank you man! Great!
MOM WAKE UP NEW ROOFLEMONGER
As a 2D fighting game player, the mid/high discrepancy is confusing me. Are mids basically like overheads in other games? And highs function like mids from other games (can be blocked high or low) but can be low profiled?
Correct
Yae hell yea you play tekken as well glad to see a familiar TH-camr
Thanks Roofle! As a casual sf6 and MK1 player, I see people mention that Tekken is so much more complex. I wonder why that is, curious to hear your thoughts.
high quantity of knowledge checks, standard movement is high execution, three dimensions, tons of wakeup options
@@atollcollector Thanks!
3d fighters just have a lot more moving parts as a whole, so there's just that much more to learn. Not any one thing is actually more difficult, in fact a lot of things are easier than 2d fighters, but you just have to learn a lot.
@@Rooflemonger Gonna be a big jump but luckily I can always depend on your excellent guides to make the transition go smoothly 👍
Waiting for that one and half hour king guide
The next two videos will probably be a combined 4 hours long
@rooflemonger love you, man! You're the MVP!
@@Rooflemongersingle-handedly carrying
Ahh man I can’t wait to see how Lee Chaolan plays.. MK1 R1ps arena player here, I might try out Tekken, I haven’t played since I was a kid , like 12 years old and that was the one off Tekken 4 . I’m 29 now lol
“That’s the wall, brother” 😂 Rooflemonger knows ball
been just mashing buttons with my m8s but time to learn the game for real! loving kazuya n steve atm, steve was my best character in 5 but was a long time ago lol
azucena is sick as well! low grabs n stance dodging! i bet she looks sick played at a high level
Thanks for the tips! 👍
holy... wait, so mids are basically overheads in this game, did not know that, thanks rooflemonger!
Some older Guilty Gears had that replay take over thing. Fun to test what ifs
Rather than fussing with practice settings for CH you can ki charge. You can even bind a button to ki charge…for testing ch properties, of course 😅
😂😂
I'm still not super hyped for T8 but I bought in because my local scene is. Hopefully once I get some time to really try it out tonight I get convinced.
Thanks for the tips. That's also an awesome outfit on Reina.
Going to try to do the same. Tekken isn't my normal fighter home, but I'm excited to learn
Give it time. I'm a SF / GG fan but have played tekken very, VERU casually since I was a kid. Tekken is so much deeper than the others with so many moves and properties of attacks. My mates who are weapons absolutely swear by it though. I'm having so much fun with Lee on this game. God damn it's fun and beautiful!
@@ledgy69 that's kind of the catch. I have no time. I've managed 30 minutes since launch lol.
Oh well hopefully after this month I'll free up more.
