I picked a hell of a week to reach Genbu for the first time ever. :D This is a first rate video, I will not lie. And certain parts felt like miniature lessons than just a simple "top 5" vid. I found myself listening and nodding away to the match analysis examples and the concepts being explained in them. Happy to find that some things I have been doing/thinking about in games, though others not. I really suck with throw breaks and responding to strings correctly however. Gotten as far as I have by just playing the game, but now I'm struggling and I need to start labbing characters, and practicing specific things if I want to improve further. Thanks for the video!
You are very welcome Rob. I wanted to make it a top 5 with examples from real red ranks and also I wanted to give tangible advance that people could use. Not just useless info. Thanks for watching man :)
These vids are amazing dude! Not to sound impatient but I'm shaking like a crack addict waiting for your Blue Ranks advice video since that's where I'm at!
This series is absolutely fantastic. I don't have a lot of spare time to practice these days, but absorbing this advice while I work has really changed the way I think about the game. Thanks man :)
I play on stick and I usually get used to the side switch after some seconds but never instantly. I just switch the side I'm playing on every day, it helps a lot in getting used to both sides.
Dude this is my first Tekken game where I'm actually trying and I never knew you could tell the throw break by which hand/hands reach out until a month ago lol, great video! And yes ik wrestler throws are a bit different
@@PeterYMao yeah I did what you said in the video too about how we say we were going to practice it and never do so I spent 1 hr practicing throw breaks today against devil jin definitely better than before
Throw breaking also comes with matchup experience. Once you have eaten enough shining wizards, you start to see them coming and having reads. Same goes with throws that do things like start wall combos or do anything special. You might want to be aware of the overall situation to be prepared for a possible throw.
Yeah totally agree. One example is King's ground throws after certain wall combos. At some point you don't even break them on reaction anymore. You just anticipate them and spam the break button in advance.
this is true I can vouch for this. Sometimes u don’t even realize you’re breaking throws and you’re just like “oh that’s a shining wizard” It must because I’ve eaten lots of those already back in the days that I just got used to it I guess. You just get the feeling 😹
@@PeterYMao I laughed a lot when you said throw breaks too. I'm Yaksa w/Lili (before the rank reset) and I still can't break throws haha (I'm a super casual player so I don't actively try to learn how to throw break)
Definitely struggling with throw countering and common strings. But I use ranked as my practice mode so the learning is bloody and painful, but hey, I at least learn fast enough to maintain my red rank. It's funny that I keep watching videos that tell me to crush out some training in practice mode and at first I'm like, "Very good wisdom, teacher," but then I never go into practice mode.
I do struggle with throw breaking a lot and I'm extremely lazy to hit the practice mode, so I tried to do the next best thing. When I see a throw I try to break the most dangerous option disregarding the animation I see, because I'm a slowpoke. So for example if my back is to the wall and Kazumi tries to throw me I always try to break with 1+2 as it poses the most threat at the moment.
I play Asuka so other players tend to hate her key moves. I have full faith that you can win without b/3 and parry. Throw breaking is hell especially against Dragunov, King & Paul. Funny enough I never did aspire to reach TGP when I first started plying Tekken as my main goal was to hit Seiryu rank. Thank you for the wise words Peter and I hope to reach red ranks soon
You can definitely play Asuka without overly abusing b+3 and parry. However having said that b+3 is definitely one of those moves that is always a threat to the opponent, even if you don't use it. It's always in the back of their mind.
Your videos are some of the most helpful on TH-cam. I never play play online, but I try to apply everything you say offline in tournaments, and it's improved my gameplay greatly. This channel is criminally underviewed. Keep the videos coming!! Happy Season 4 Day! 😃
Thank you for your videos Peter! I've already managed to climb to red ranks thanks to your previous videos. But red ranks feels like a HUGE wall now...
Everyone hits a plateau eventually, what separates the good players from the average is going over the plateau. Make sure to stick with your fundamentals, watch your replays, and figure out what it is you are losing to and learn from it.
PeterYMao Yep kbd at range 0 not good lol. Also, when sidestepping gotta watch for moves that track. I catch low rank players sidestepping too much and easily getting hit by my tracking moves. Lol
Absolutely fantastic as usual Peter your on point. I would agree that tightening up and not playing as lose with massive launchers and bug moves is critical, let them make the big moves and then punsuh em.
Great video Peter as always! :) The worst thing is that I finally hit the red ranks and on next day ... guess what? S4 appears and we have another reset - what a coincidence :D
Hey! That's awesome to hear. I hope all goes well for you in the Royal blue ranks. As of now, I don't think I have much planned in the way of the Top Ruler Rank Mistakes. Life has been busy so sorry about that.
I love these videos, is there a purple rank mistakes video on its way? (btw these videos helped me get out of green rank to red rank on jin! best tekken content)
I almost never touched online Tekken 7, but season 4 new netcode drove me in. I should have seen this channel sooner, that's some really good content. Well explained above all. And since I want to finally grow up against players, I'm happy I've found. That's a sub from a King main since Tekken 3 who just got into orange ranks.
Nice nice! Thanks so much for the encouraging words DoomGuy! I’m happy you have found my channel and that you’re able to find the content educational and impactful. Best of luck on your online journey!
This is interesting to show the polarities between 2d and 3d fighters. In 2d fighters it's usually newer players are moving around too much with big movements and they have to learn to stay still or create smaller, micro movements. In 3d fighters because the space you fight is much more enclosed, side walking is your vertical movement and the movement is more manual, newer players usually are really stiff and have to learn to create bigger movements.
Yeah, it's an interesting point to bring up the difference between 2D and 3D fighters. I mean based on the stages you can mostly tell that movement will be key for 3D fighters at least the ability to create space. Thanks for the comment my dude!
Great Vid! for those who still struggle with throw breaks (this requires match up knowledge) get use to character typical throws. for example akuma only has generic throws, meaning you don't have to watch out for command throws (you can always react with 1 or 2 as it doesn't matter), or throw patterns like armor king, mostly using Giant swing (1 break) after 2 1 on block.
Great video, and great content in general. You got a new subscriber. However, given the footage, red rankers play differently in my region. I'm in the purple ranks here. Anyone beyond that is extremely rare because we have no one to play against. So, I mostly play against people below my rank, and I only rank up nowadays by farming them. From reds, I expect strong 3d movement in general, strong backdashing, consistent block punishment and decent throw breaking. I really hope the new update will allow me to play against people from other regions, as I really want to see whether I am truly a purple according to the general expectations.
Hey Dante! I’m sorry to hear that in your region you don’t have many players to play with online. I hope that in the future there will be more players that can help you out in your region. Also, thank you for subscribing!
My Brain just got Bigger. Good video. I have Come across a lot of Players that make good use of Pokes. I did a Poke that saved me From a panic Rage Art. This is a Big game with Big brains and Bigger learning curves. I am loving ur vides dood.
That is awesome to hear that you were able to implement stuff from the videos and that they help you. Best of luck in season 4. Hope your character got some good stuff :D
I wish i submitted my red videos in D: - but thanks for the tips as always! Been waiting for this one, the throw break one probably applies the most to me lol.
Only now really noticed your channel Peter! I've been around in the scene for quite a bit but never noticed your channel somehow. Definitely some great content here, a sub from me :)
I've been trying to do a kbd for years and I *still* can't do it. The best I've got is that back dash, mini side step thing which helps, but obviously isn't the same. The fact I still can't do something that "easy" despite all the practice drives me nuts. Side switching does bug me a little because I can't do Kazumi's "Laser Scraper" facing the left and I sometimes do the wrong diagonal motion. Though I really shouldn't be watching this video, because according to season 4, I'm a Vanquisher again. Really thought my Genbu would be safe...
I play on a stick. It helped me a lot to practice just 1 KBD when waiting for games. 1KBD and then dash forward or a whiff punish move and then another KBD. It's ok if it looks very clunky or slow motion it doesn't matter. Once I was able to do 1 smoothly turning it into several was just a matter of time. Mistake that I was often making was that I was trying to do them fast and the stick was not going back to neutral. Try implementing KBD in games. Place it somewhere on purpose. Plan to KBD after an attack or something. Make sure your muscles are relaxed when practicing. This is super important. Your arm/shoulder should be relaxed when playing and so on. If you're tense your are handicapping yourself. Make sure that you practice the technique when your arm is relaxed. If you will teach yourself to do it with a tense arm you're wasting your time. Once you got it down on one side go through the same process on the other side. Best video I have seen about it was done by Speedkicks and Anakin.
Even though I am at Grand Master rank rn, I have one of these problems too. Like breaking throws on reaction. Really hope I will enter the Green Ranks so that I can exploit these weaknesses. And also should I also put some random attacks so that the throws will try to caught me off guard and lose my focuses on them.
Always add in attacks with throws when practicing throw breaking. But if you’re just starting out, just do the throws. Don’t add attacks in until your throw breaking is at least 80%
@@PeterYMao heads up, i am at seiryu, and im getting much better with throw countering, i can play regularly on my weak side, and i have ducked a lot of mid high, high high and mid high mid string, for example king's b1,2.
Always need to click when I see these videos. Great job on the video and explaination as always! Are you still thinking about doing a snake dashing video?
I think three most common mistakes that people are stuck in red and purple ranks are 1) match-up knowledge 2) stage knowledge, and 3) predictable. Match-up knowledge is to know your opponent string and plus frame setup. They will abuse you if you don't know how to punish their moves. Stage knowledge is to estimate the range of your combos so you can maximize the damage and bring your opponent to wall. Last thing is do not be predictable. In conclusion, everything comes down to how much time u dedicate for this game. The more time you spend, the more instinct you gain and know what to do to deal with particular situation.
Match-up knowledge is not enough. Knowing is only part of the battle. The other half of the battle is practicing it and getting it down into muscle memory. Some of the punishes have to be practiced to the point where it is almost instinct.
@@PeterYMao you are right. But people are lazy to lab, especially me lol. The problem with Tekken right now is that the damage cost too much. One or two wrong guesses then you are done. Namco buff Brian on his hatchet move. He will be a monster. Congrat.
@@peternguyen1960 that's the story of my life lmao. I'm too lazy to lab and I don't see that great of a reward in spending so much time in practice and still being punished because I didn't block an unseeable low or I didn't sidestep properly that one Zafina string. Plus I'm on pad and I'll never learn to play on stick, so I think that that is a further limit
it is very difficult to break command throws online. I break throws based on the habit of my opponent. For hwoarang, just hit 2 to escape his most damage and follow up throw. For Paul, hit 1+2 if the stage has floor break or 1 when Paul is near the wall. For King, just hit 1 to avoid most of King most damage throws.
This is incredible, really useful stuff thanks so much! Liking and subscribing just to make sure I catch the video on practice routines for breaking throws ❤
I've been out of the loop competitively since TTT2 and I mean no disrespect. But Red ranks need this advice... That's insane. This is TTT2 green ranks mistakes. Great video though and I'm glad somebody is helping these guys.
I think there is rank inflation, but what happens is that more people these days are playing Tekken than ever before, the netcode in T7 is better than TTT2 so more people are interested in trying the game, and as a result a lot of people gloss over the basics and skip to for lack of a better word... "winning" as their metric. Or you could say they get caught up in ranked and climbing. I try to bring players back to basics and improving on fundamentals.
@@PeterYMao That actually makes perfect sense. I'm glad more people are playing and tekken is improving. Although strange to see lol, it is very welcome. I definitely understand that mentality though. Many of us have been there. Again great video and thank you for bringing this to the communities attention. Hopefully everyone learns from this.
@@Yo_Velly hey Lion. Thanks for taking the time to comment and have a great discussion with me. I appreciate good conversation and constructive talks on TH-cam comments. Not just pointless bickering, trolling, or complaining. Again, thanks man :)
I love how this video is more advanced. Feels like a big jump from orange to red, which is actually kinda true at the same time. Edit: also forgot to hit the bell. I don't wanna miss another one of these. :)
@@PeterYMao Thats amazing! Thanks for the info. Im from Estonia (Northern East Europe) soo there is chance of getting 3bars...Looking forward to getting matches with you Americans then :)
Practice makes perfect and it's something you should practice a little bit each day. Also just learning how to KBD will not improve your game. You need to know what to do with it that will make the difference.
I got decent throw breaks somehow! I play armor king occasionally though, I'm kinda used to throws EXCEPT 1 BREAKS REEEEEEEEE even command grabs I can usually get, but oh lord I eat giant swings
I got the replays from my viewers. Please check the community tab from time to time on my TH-cam channel. You can find it here. th-cam.com/users/PeterYMaocommunity
re: #4 I just stand there letting my opponent jitter around like an epileptic. He practiced that Korean backdash and I'm just there for him and admire his hardwork.
On the note of not moving, I think it might help sometimes. If you normally move more or less actively, completely stopping any movement from time to time might throw the opponent's rhythm off. I know it's not a relevant example but have a look at how Bilal plays :)
I know what you mean. I've seen lots of players do it. However, I think in the red ranks, this does not really apply since most players don't know anything about tempo, and timing.
@@PeterYMao Well, I do have some Alisa matches that I had against a Geese player earlier. I'll upload some of the many clips that I got and throw in a bit of a mix of them. Both my victories and my major mistakes.
Could you please do Season 4 breakdown? I have been O_O at Lee change note, and keep wondering why they didn't buff Lee low poke while Lili accursed d+3 got one big buffed.
Remember how I got to Fujin in season 3? Well with season 4 I got to Mighty Ruler. And I got demoted 3 times yesterday and now I'm at Byakko so this video is just for me 😂
Sorry these mistakes videos take A LOT of time. I have to watch every game that's submitted, and then categorize and see what mistakes are made most common.
Ehi Peter thoughts on Bryan patches? Based on your pressure guide after df2,1 now would be great to follow with a f3 or DF1 since you’re at +8! I also love to do now 1+2,1 in neutral as it leaves you pretty free to move on block, aswell with using d1+2,2 at the wall for pressure or as a frame trap for b4 follow up into wall combo since it’s now a huge +7 on block and it’s a mid, far more reliable then f1+2 😜
I think a lot of people don't understand throw breaking due to still developing an understanding of netcode and the timing as well as Tekken's unique tech system. I was very bad at throw teching. Coming from 2D fighters I just always assumed you tech by just hitting any form of grab button. With Tekken this isn't the case. If someone does a 1+2 grab, which is generally the most overused throw due to people not knowing how to tech it, YOU HAVE to input 1+2 to tech the throw. This is not the same however for 1+3 or 2+4 throws. To tech those, respectively is 1 for 1+2 and 2 for 2+4 (side swap throw). Also assume most of King's throws are going to be a 2 break initially. If you fail to break it initially, mash 1. It's not the best approach to King but it is what works for me until I learn what throws the King player is generally using.
If you press 2 initially and then 1 the game only registers one of those inputs on the initial throws. Whichever was pressed 1st is what the game reads. So that will be the input the game reads. You can not get both inputs, nor can you option select the throws.
@@PeterYMao Right his chain throws is more what I was gearing towards when I said if the 2 doesn't break that initial grab, generally speaking mashing 1 will get you out. Like the death roll I believe. 😁
If these are the common mistakes of red ranks, then all the fellow green ranks I play against are secret TGPs. Perfect side step launch punishing, whiff punishing, every-throw-breaking, max damage combo TGPs.
This is honestly blue ranked advice. People still cant break throws. I get it against Kings and Marduk, maybe Julia and one or two throws here and there but blue ranks can't escape throws. Blue ranks also play 2d. They still aint SSing and have no wall awareness. They stay linear vs Bryan when they're one SS away from taking his back or SS launcher. Anna and Nina players are still spamming low highs and im ducking every single one of them. Same with Asuka. You can tell they panic afterwards cuz they just start walking backwards lmao i love baiting out Jins quick strings led with his left hand. Always take his back when he tries to fight bach against my own pressure. They over commit, lead with a quick left hand and commit to a string. Yes, i know this video is old but very true for blue ranks as well except for maybe the player side. I've never noticed that at blue ranks.
My end goal is to ascend to the level of these red rank players so I can recieve this level of feedback from Peter. For now though I'll stick to the low hanging fruit of blocking seeable lows.
Also thank you Peter for another great video! Time to prove I'm actually worthy of the reds this time since the rank reset. I'm sure if you gave personal feedback it'd be "bruh the fuck you doing". Now I just gotta sweat it out in time to catch you for your purple rank videos 😎
@@PeterYMao Oh im aware, big fan of this series, it's been super helpful ^^ you're such a gem for making them, I've always just been one rank behind when you've asked for videos
peter can you do a guide on how to open up players whom never duck vs bryan and they press fast moves sometimes on minus and sometimes just stands still so i cant just spam qcb+3
If they are pressing fast buttons on minus frames then you need to figure out when they are doing it. Also if they are pressing fast buttons on minus frames shouldn't your fast buttons beat their fast buttons? If they are -3 and they jab, your jab should be theirs. I think you're hesitating too much. Also if you are getting your hatchet kicks beaten out, that means you need to use faster mid attacks like d/f+2. Use more jabs and d/f+2.
@@PeterYMao it just feels so bad when i b+1 and then he stands and blocks everything untill im minus and wasting my turn. if i go for a low it isnt that scary not like hellsweeps. even if i hatchet once or twice it isnt that much damage then i will do something that leaves me minus so i wasted my turn without any big rewards or full combos. and if he guesses right i get punished and lose my turn. if i dont low and he just stand blocks i will lose my turn eventually. i really suffer from facing defensive players i just cant open them
@@hussamada61 hatchet isn't scary like hellsweep sure. However, most characters when they block hatchet it's not launch punishable. Hellsweep is launch punishable by everyone. Hellsweep from Kazuya does 42 damage, if an opponent blocks hellsweep on average most of the characters in the game can get a 70 damage launcher. With wall, most characters can get 85 damage launcher with wall. Hatchet is 23 damage on hit and if an opponent blocks it, on average most characters get 30 damage for a 13 frame punish. So risk reward is better for Bryan to use hatchet compared to hellsweep. Anyways, from what I'm hearing basically if your opponent is not blocking low then you need to hatchet or change your timing on your mid attacks. Also you say after hatchet you do something and then you are minus... what about your opponent? Are they always plus after everything? This can't possibly be the case. There are no characters that only have plus on frame moves. Also, I think what is happening is that you are also not using movement to create opportunities to make your opponent whiff.
@@PeterYMao what you said is totally true but it feels so bad when you pressure over and over and you dont get much out of it. talking about movment yes im very bad at moving i know how to korean backdash a bit slow but i dont understand why would i do that if two backdashes are enough to put me out of reach of opponent moves why do i need to keep backdashing after 2 backdashes. also when i whiff punish someone twice or something they just stop whiffing and then moving in and out to bait my opponent into whiffing wont work anymore. also it feels very scary to get in with b+1 or a jab , because when you get into your opponent range he might throw something when you are pressing forward or doing slow move like b+1 then you get hit or launched. sorry for being a scrub and not understanding the game
Sometimes I try NOT to use my key moves. Playing Jin sometimes I stop using f4 so my opponent can get in. It's obviously a problem they should look into, but hey.
Just watched this for the fifth time (granted I'm still in orange ranks) and it always feels like a new video. Love this series very anxious to see the next one hopefully it's soon 🙏☹
Currently, I'm working on how to beat Hwoarang series. It won't be a while till I go through the next ranks. Watching these top 5 mistakes are one thing, but practicing and putting them into action is a completely different thing.
Honestly sometimes... These red rank players are disappointing, ive went up against a lot of them on my smurf account and geeeeezuz almost all of them rely on cheesy flowcharts, and when they get figured, they dont know what to do or just rage quit
Season 4 is live. Can't wait for Top 5 Tekken God Omega Mistakes.

I try to focus on movement but I feel like I always get hit mid sidestep/backdash
When you're at point blank range just backdash or sidestep. Don't try to KBD when at range 0.
PeterYMao Yep kbd at range 0 not good lol. Also, when sidestepping gotta watch for moves that track. I catch low rank players sidestepping too much and easily getting hit by my tracking moves. Lol
Sidestep block and sidestep duck will help

Hey! That's awesome to hear. I hope all goes well for you in the Royal blue ranks. As of now, I don't think I have much planned in the way of the Top Ruler Rank Mistakes. Life has been busy so sorry about that.
I love these videos, is there a purple rank mistakes video on its way? (btw these videos helped me get out of green rank to red rank on jin! best tekken content)
Thank you for this series. it is surprisingly really helpful compared to any other tekken content ive seen
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching Jiornno Jiovanna :)
I almost never touched online Tekken 7, but season 4 new netcode drove me in.
I should have seen this channel sooner, that's some really good content. Well explained above all.
And since I want to finally grow up against players, I'm happy I've found.
That's a sub from a King main since Tekken 3 who just got into orange ranks.
Nice nice! Thanks so much for the encouraging words DoomGuy! I’m happy you have found my channel and that you’re able to find the content educational and impactful. Best of luck on your online journey!
Just made it to Genbu thanks to your awesome content, great work as always Peter.
You're very welcome Techno Thug, my pleasure!
@@PeterYMao Just got to Mighty Ruler, looking forward to Top 5 Purple Rank Mistakes.
This is interesting to show the polarities between 2d and 3d fighters. In 2d fighters it's usually newer players are moving around too much with big movements and they have to learn to stay still or create smaller, micro movements. In 3d fighters because the space you fight is much more enclosed, side walking is your vertical movement and the movement is more manual, newer players usually are really stiff and have to learn to create bigger movements.
Yeah, it's an interesting point to bring up the difference between 2D and 3D fighters. I mean based on the stages you can mostly tell that movement will be key for 3D fighters at least the ability to create space. Thanks for the comment my dude!
Great Vid! for those who still struggle with throw breaks (this requires match up knowledge) get use to character typical throws. for example akuma only has generic throws, meaning you don't have to watch out for command throws (you can always react with 1 or 2 as it doesn't matter), or throw patterns like armor king, mostly using Giant swing (1 break) after 2 1 on block.
This is 100% true. Part of it is knowing sometimes what exactly you need to pay attention to. :)
Great video, and great content in general. You got a new subscriber. However, given the footage, red rankers play differently in my region. I'm in the purple ranks here. Anyone beyond that is extremely rare because we have no one to play against. So, I mostly play against people below my rank, and I only rank up nowadays by farming them. From reds, I expect strong 3d movement in general, strong backdashing, consistent block punishment and decent throw breaking. I really hope the new update will allow me to play against people from other regions, as I really want to see whether I am truly a purple according to the general expectations.
Hey Dante! I’m sorry to hear that in your region you don’t have many players to play with online. I hope that in the future there will be more players that can help you out in your region. Also, thank you for subscribing!
Another great video! Due to my 6months of experience in red ranks, I can approve this! x)
Thanks Jhindex ^_^
Hello and welcome 😁 I have no movement - I know. 11:55 but... but.. I'm a scrub 😅 I love Snake Edge!
To get better ya gonna have to drop the snake edges xD
@@PeterYMao I know (that's autopiloting) 😢 Thank you for point my poor movement. Great video. I wait for more 🙂
My Brain just got Bigger. Good video. I have Come across a lot of Players that make good use of Pokes. I did a Poke that saved me From a panic Rage Art. This is a Big game with Big brains and Bigger learning curves. I am loving ur vides dood.
That is awesome to hear that you were able to implement stuff from the videos and that they help you. Best of luck in season 4. Hope your character got some good stuff :D
@@PeterYMao Thanks. My main is GEESE. And I also Love Gigas. I'm gonna win some and I'll loose some. But that's the game, and Gonna Play it 👊
I wish i submitted my red videos in D: - but thanks for the tips as always! Been waiting for this one, the throw break one probably applies the most to me lol.
You'd be surprised how many people can't break throws on reaction, and how many can't break it consistently (aka yours truly) :)
Great stuff as always Peter, btw when can we get a Julia 101 guide?
Hmmm, didn't you say you were dropping that character? Or did you say you were coming back to Bryan?
@@PeterYMao it depends on if we see a Julia fundamentals guide or not 😈
Only now really noticed your channel Peter! I've been around in the scene for quite a bit but never noticed your channel somehow. Definitely some great content here, a sub from me :)
Disruptor 6! Thank you so much for the sub bro. I appreciate each and everyone of you who do sub. Thanks also for taking the time to watch the vids.
@@PeterYMao You're welcome man, keep up the good work!
Reached red ranks a while back but I couldn't have done it without your help
Thank you so much
Keep it up!!
Always waiting for Peter's advices 👍🏻 thanks bro
More to come!
@@PeterYMao can't wait 😍
PYM: "There's no place for snake Edge in the game"
Me, high crushing Mishimas' EWGF at the beginning of the round as Mighty Ruler: "aw, okay :("
The sooner you start using northern cross and d/b+3 to high crush the sooner you start realizing that those moves are also very good.
I've been trying to do a kbd for years and I *still* can't do it. The best I've got is that back dash, mini side step thing which helps, but obviously isn't the same. The fact I still can't do something that "easy" despite all the practice drives me nuts.
Side switching does bug me a little because I can't do Kazumi's "Laser Scraper" facing the left and I sometimes do the wrong diagonal motion. Though I really shouldn't be watching this video, because according to season 4, I'm a Vanquisher again. Really thought my Genbu would be safe...
No one is safe from rank resets!!!!
I play on a stick. It helped me a lot to practice just 1 KBD when waiting for games. 1KBD and then dash forward or a whiff punish move and then another KBD. It's ok if it looks very clunky or slow motion it doesn't matter. Once I was able to do 1 smoothly turning it into several was just a matter of time. Mistake that I was often making was that I was trying to do them fast and the stick was not going back to neutral. Try implementing KBD in games. Place it somewhere on purpose. Plan to KBD after an attack or something. Make sure your muscles are relaxed when practicing. This is super important. Your arm/shoulder should be relaxed when playing and so on. If you're tense your are handicapping yourself. Make sure that you practice the technique when your arm is relaxed. If you will teach yourself to do it with a tense arm you're wasting your time. Once you got it down on one side go through the same process on the other side. Best video I have seen about it was done by Speedkicks and Anakin.
Even though I am at Grand Master rank rn, I have one of these problems too. Like breaking throws on reaction. Really hope I will enter the Green Ranks so that I can exploit these weaknesses. And also should I also put some random attacks so that the throws will try to caught me off guard and lose my focuses on them.
Always add in attacks with throws when practicing throw breaking. But if you’re just starting out, just do the throws. Don’t add attacks in until your throw breaking is at least 80%
@@PeterYMao heads up, i am at seiryu, and im getting much better with throw countering, i can play regularly on my weak side, and i have ducked a lot of mid high, high high and mid high mid string, for example king's b1,2.
@@Adam7180 Congrats man! Sounds like a lot of improvements!
Always need to click when I see these videos. Great job on the video and explaination as always! Are you still thinking about doing a snake dashing video?
Eventually :P
@@PeterYMao That is why you're one of the best, Peter. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Kappa!
@@PeterYMao Anytime. Currently working on starting P2 side to work on opposite inputs, mad difficult once you get so comfortable on one side haha.
Hey Peter back YET AGAIN. But your tips Got My Armor King to Divine Ruler and my Marduk to Eternal Ruler.
Damn man! Big ups and lots of improvements I see. Congrats!
I think three most common mistakes that people are stuck in red and purple ranks are 1) match-up knowledge 2) stage knowledge, and 3) predictable. Match-up knowledge is to know your opponent string and plus frame setup. They will abuse you if you don't know how to punish their moves. Stage knowledge is to estimate the range of your combos so you can maximize the damage and bring your opponent to wall. Last thing is do not be predictable. In conclusion, everything comes down to how much time u dedicate for this game. The more time you spend, the more instinct you gain and know what to do to deal with particular situation.
Match-up knowledge is not enough. Knowing is only part of the battle. The other half of the battle is practicing it and getting it down into muscle memory. Some of the punishes have to be practiced to the point where it is almost instinct.
@@PeterYMao you are right. But people are lazy to lab, especially me lol. The problem with Tekken right now is that the damage cost too much. One or two wrong guesses then you are done. Namco buff Brian on his hatchet move. He will be a monster. Congrat.
@@peternguyen1960 that's the story of my life lmao. I'm too lazy to lab and I don't see that great of a reward in spending so much time in practice and still being punished because I didn't block an unseeable low or I didn't sidestep properly that one Zafina string.
Plus I'm on pad and I'll never learn to play on stick, so I think that that is a further limit
s4 Bryan overview when ? :) Awesome video man
Today, we will go over changes at 3PM EST.
it is very difficult to break command throws online. I break throws based on the habit of my opponent. For hwoarang, just hit 2 to escape his most damage and follow up throw. For Paul, hit 1+2 if the stage has floor break or 1 when Paul is near the wall. For King, just hit 1 to avoid most of King most damage throws.
You can do it based on that, but depending on the connection throws can definitely be broken online. Just need to react a little faster.
Weak side is a real thing dude I’m glad I found this video
For sure! Thanks for watching the video Junior Fanti :)
Great video! Lots of very helpful tips
Glad it was helpful!
Love the vid! Cant wait to see more!
Coming soon!
What an amazing editor you got 👌
This is incredible, really useful stuff thanks so much!
Liking and subscribing just to make sure I catch the video on practice routines for breaking throws ❤
Thank you! I will definitely do a video on practice routines.
@@PeterYMao can't wait!
“Except snake edge. Stay away from that shit”
Yeah like that’ll ever happen
Most likely not. Players love their snake edges.
why dont all characters bound like bryan 4:12
It's just a unique launcher. It doesn't change the fact that he still needs to do a screw. It's not like you can actually use f+4,1 instead of a screw
I've been out of the loop competitively since TTT2 and I mean no disrespect. But Red ranks need this advice... That's insane. This is TTT2 green ranks mistakes. Great video though and I'm glad somebody is helping these guys.
I think there is rank inflation, but what happens is that more people these days are playing Tekken than ever before, the netcode in T7 is better than TTT2 so more people are interested in trying the game, and as a result a lot of people gloss over the basics and skip to for lack of a better word... "winning" as their metric. Or you could say they get caught up in ranked and climbing. I try to bring players back to basics and improving on fundamentals.
@@PeterYMao That actually makes perfect sense. I'm glad more people are playing and tekken is improving. Although strange to see lol, it is very welcome. I definitely understand that mentality though. Many of us have been there. Again great video and thank you for bringing this to the communities attention. Hopefully everyone learns from this.
@@Yo_Velly hey Lion. Thanks for taking the time to comment and have a great discussion with me. I appreciate good conversation and constructive talks on TH-cam comments. Not just pointless bickering, trolling, or complaining. Again, thanks man :)
I love how this video is more advanced. Feels like a big jump from orange to red, which is actually kinda true at the same time.
Edit: also forgot to hit the bell. I don't wanna miss another one of these. :)
Glad to hear it!
Great video, has Paul got any move that is safe on wiff?
Thanks for the video, I'm going to start playing again
Go for it!
Our boy PeterYMao starting to ambush us with awkward upload timings.
xD sorry. I wanted it to get out before any other uploads.
@@PeterYMao appreciate the work man.
Love this series!
Im hoping the netcode buff will be enough that europe and usa will get a somewhat decent connetion
Depends on where in the US, but I am on NA East and I have 4 bars with UK.
@@PeterYMao Thats amazing! Thanks for the info.
Im from Estonia (Northern East Europe) soo there is chance of getting 3bars...Looking forward to getting matches with you Americans then :)
Not on the red ranks yet. But im really bad at KBD. And that has been my flaw on movement.
Practice makes perfect and it's something you should practice a little bit each day. Also just learning how to KBD will not improve your game. You need to know what to do with it that will make the difference.
@@PeterYMao yeah i guess you're right. But i think you meant to say practice make progress. :)
Hope you're doing well. Hope we get a Ruler Ranks and Blue Ranks soon.
Nice synopsis of all previous mistakes 👍
Indeed! You're welcome.
Where did the clips/replays of red ranks come from? Great vid btw
I got decent throw breaks somehow! I play armor king occasionally though, I'm kinda used to throws EXCEPT 1 BREAKS REEEEEEEEE even command grabs I can usually get, but oh lord I eat giant swings
I got the replays from my viewers. Please check the community tab from time to time on my TH-cam channel. You can find it here. th-cam.com/users/PeterYMaocommunity
love your vids, at 2:57 which character is that on the left ?!
I think it's a Josie mod, made to look like Tifa from FF7. The replay is from a video a viewer sent, so I have no idea where he/she got it from.
re: #4
I just stand there letting my opponent jitter around like an epileptic.
He practiced that Korean backdash and I'm just there for him and admire his hardwork.
Lololo.
This series is pure gold.
Thanks Dillion :)
On the note of not moving, I think it might help sometimes. If you normally move more or less actively, completely stopping any movement from time to time might throw the opponent's rhythm off. I know it's not a relevant example but have a look at how Bilal plays :)
I know what you mean. I've seen lots of players do it. However, I think in the red ranks, this does not really apply since most players don't know anything about tempo, and timing.
And now I think it's time to submit some of my own stuff. I know there's going to be a lot to cover, and I'm ready for the heat.
Naaah :) I don't burn players... much... muhahahaha.
@@PeterYMao Well, I do have some Alisa matches that I had against a Geese player earlier. I'll upload some of the many clips that I got and throw in a bit of a mix of them. Both my victories and my major mistakes.
This has now been renamed to top 5 mistakes in latter yellow - orange rank by Tekken 7 Season 4.
Nope, trust me. People in red ranks will continue to make these mistakes when they reach back to reds xD
Could you please do Season 4 breakdown? I have been O_O at Lee change note, and keep wondering why they didn't buff Lee low poke while Lili accursed d+3 got one big buffed.
I will be making a Season 4 Breakdown.
As always, very helpful (: thanks
No problem!
Remember how I got to Fujin in season 3? Well with season 4 I got to Mighty Ruler. And I got demoted 3 times yesterday and now I'm at Byakko so this video is just for me 😂
LOLOLO. It happens. I'm sure you'll get to Fujin no problem man :)
This series is so good.
Thanks Kalki ^_^
Thanks a lot for this eyes open video.
My pleasure!
Next for the Purple and Royal Blue Mistakes would be really helpful.
Sorry these mistakes videos take A LOT of time. I have to watch every game that's submitted, and then categorize and see what mistakes are made most common.
Ehi Peter thoughts on Bryan patches?
Based on your pressure guide after df2,1 now would be great to follow with a f3 or DF1 since you’re at +8! I also love to do now 1+2,1 in neutral as it leaves you pretty free to move on block, aswell with using d1+2,2 at the wall for pressure or as a frame trap for b4 follow up into wall combo since it’s now a huge +7 on block and it’s a mid, far more reliable then f1+2 😜
Hey! What do you need me for? Looks like you got all the answer!
After the rank adjustment, I guess I'm a red rank again... perfectly timed video
Balanced as all things should be. LOL
I think a lot of people don't understand throw breaking due to still developing an understanding of netcode and the timing as well as Tekken's unique tech system.
I was very bad at throw teching. Coming from 2D fighters I just always assumed you tech by just hitting any form of grab button. With Tekken this isn't the case. If someone does a 1+2 grab, which is generally the most overused throw due to people not knowing how to tech it, YOU HAVE to input 1+2 to tech the throw. This is not the same however for 1+3 or 2+4 throws. To tech those, respectively is 1 for 1+2 and 2 for 2+4 (side swap throw).
Also assume most of King's throws are going to be a 2 break initially. If you fail to break it initially, mash 1. It's not the best approach to King but it is what works for me until I learn what throws the King player is generally using.
If you press 2 initially and then 1 the game only registers one of those inputs on the initial throws. Whichever was pressed 1st is what the game reads. So that will be the input the game reads. You can not get both inputs, nor can you option select the throws.
@@PeterYMao Right his chain throws is more what I was gearing towards when I said if the 2 doesn't break that initial grab, generally speaking mashing 1 will get you out. Like the death roll I believe. 😁
If these are the common mistakes of red ranks, then all the fellow green ranks I play against are secret TGPs. Perfect side step launch punishing, whiff punishing, every-throw-breaking, max damage combo TGPs.
I don’t know your friends you play against so I can’t say. Haha if a green rank is doing all the things you say, then they very well could be a Smurf
I just noticed Red_asa's AKA is out there hunting at least 2 of us in the red ranks lol
Hahaha. Yup. I was laughing at that too when I watched the games.
P2 side is my biggest problem in the game. I'm totally lost when I change side during the game. I really have to improve that
You're not alone Syn! You're not alone. Lots of players have that issue.
Me on red ranks:
"Ha! I gotta see what this guy got to say about red ra..."
He starts talking about number 1.
I listened carefully afterwards.
LOL. Thanks for paying attention to the video :) I put a lot of time and effort into them.
@@PeterYMao Keep up the great content! Will be watching more of your videos :)
Hey Pete just wanted to tell you that I love your videos and to please keep making videos please.
As a little Bryan scrublet I need them. 😬
This is honestly blue ranked advice. People still cant break throws. I get it against Kings and Marduk, maybe Julia and one or two throws here and there but blue ranks can't escape throws. Blue ranks also play 2d. They still aint SSing and have no wall awareness. They stay linear vs Bryan when they're one SS away from taking his back or SS launcher.
Anna and Nina players are still spamming low highs and im ducking every single one of them. Same with Asuka. You can tell they panic afterwards cuz they just start walking backwards lmao i love baiting out Jins quick strings led with his left hand. Always take his back when he tries to fight bach against my own pressure. They over commit, lead with a quick left hand and commit to a string.
Yes, i know this video is old but very true for blue ranks as well except for maybe the player side. I've never noticed that at blue ranks.
My end goal is to ascend to the level of these red rank players so I can recieve this level of feedback from Peter. For now though I'll stick to the low hanging fruit of blocking seeable lows.
Baby steps. Everyone has to start somewhere :)
Also thank you Peter for another great video! Time to prove I'm actually worthy of the reds this time since the rank reset. I'm sure if you gave personal feedback it'd be "bruh the fuck you doing".
Now I just gotta sweat it out in time to catch you for your purple rank videos 😎
Thanks for taking the time to watch yet again Roflo13east :) you're welcome as ever ^_^
Im still in yellows but I'm still taking notes from these, gotta be prepared for when I reach genbu
I have a yellow rank mistakes video. Actually I have a full playlist for these mistakes.
@@PeterYMao Oh im aware, big fan of this series, it's been super helpful ^^ you're such a gem for making them, I've always just been one rank behind when you've asked for videos
I like these kinds of videos!
Happy you enjoy them Cole :)
I just hit genbu XD I got there mainly though wiff/block punishments I still need to side step more tbh(just hit purple ranks from using his tips)
Yeah sidestepping is a powerful tool as soon as you start utilizing it, you'll be like how the fuck did I play this game without it?
@@PeterYMao hahaha soo true iv gotten a lot better sense watching your vids. Keep up the good work ✌️
peter can you do a guide on how to open up players whom never duck vs bryan and they press fast moves sometimes on minus and sometimes just stands still so i cant just spam qcb+3
If they are pressing fast buttons on minus frames then you need to figure out when they are doing it. Also if they are pressing fast buttons on minus frames shouldn't your fast buttons beat their fast buttons? If they are -3 and they jab, your jab should be theirs. I think you're hesitating too much. Also if you are getting your hatchet kicks beaten out, that means you need to use faster mid attacks like d/f+2. Use more jabs and d/f+2.
@@PeterYMao it just feels so bad when i b+1 and then he stands and blocks everything untill im minus and wasting my turn. if i go for a low it isnt that scary not like hellsweeps. even if i hatchet once or twice it isnt that much damage then i will do something that leaves me minus so i wasted my turn without any big rewards or full combos. and if he guesses right i get punished and lose my turn. if i dont low and he just stand blocks i will lose my turn eventually. i really suffer from facing defensive players i just cant open them
@@hussamada61 hatchet isn't scary like hellsweep sure. However, most characters when they block hatchet it's not launch punishable. Hellsweep is launch punishable by everyone. Hellsweep from Kazuya does 42 damage, if an opponent blocks hellsweep on average most of the characters in the game can get a 70 damage launcher. With wall, most characters can get 85 damage launcher with wall. Hatchet is 23 damage on hit and if an opponent blocks it, on average most characters get 30 damage for a 13 frame punish. So risk reward is better for Bryan to use hatchet compared to hellsweep.
Anyways, from what I'm hearing basically if your opponent is not blocking low then you need to hatchet or change your timing on your mid attacks. Also you say after hatchet you do something and then you are minus... what about your opponent? Are they always plus after everything? This can't possibly be the case. There are no characters that only have plus on frame moves. Also, I think what is happening is that you are also not using movement to create opportunities to make your opponent whiff.
@@PeterYMao what you said is totally true but it feels so bad when you pressure over and over and you dont get much out of it. talking about movment yes im very bad at moving i know how to korean backdash a bit slow but i dont understand why would i do that if two backdashes are enough to put me out of reach of opponent moves why do i need to keep backdashing after 2 backdashes. also when i whiff punish someone twice or something they just stop whiffing and then moving in and out to bait my opponent into whiffing wont work anymore. also it feels very scary to get in with b+1 or a jab , because when you get into your opponent range he might throw something when you are pressing forward or doing slow move like b+1 then you get hit or launched. sorry for being a scrub and not understanding the game
@@hussamada61 Please join my discord to continue the questions. This is too much for youtube comments to be trying to help a player out.
Hello, Peter! Thank you for the great video! I just wanted to point out, that it's pronounced "eTcetera", not "eXcetera"!
Lol, good to know. Thanks
Sometimes I try NOT to use my key moves. Playing Jin sometimes I stop using f4 so my opponent can get in. It's obviously a problem they should look into, but hey.
f+4 is not an issue move. It is a very very good move, but not an issue move.
@@PeterYMao The hard combo without transition is such a nerf I'm having trouble connecting the combo constantly.
plus it's pretty bad on whiff
@@PeterYMao I agree. By they I mean my opponents, it's a move they should deal with.
Just watched this for the fifth time (granted I'm still in orange ranks) and it always feels like a new video. Love this series very anxious to see the next one hopefully it's soon 🙏☹
Currently, I'm working on how to beat Hwoarang series. It won't be a while till I go through the next ranks. Watching these top 5 mistakes are one thing, but practicing and putting them into action is a completely different thing.
I want to play well on either side so I keep track of my side selection rate in my player stats. I'm currently at 53% towards the right.
Congrats man! You are one of the few who play on both sides.
@@PeterYMao I still suck though. XD
Thank God for this video🙏🏼 I escaped the red and purple ranks and now I'm a Fujin Heihachi 😍
Damn! Congrats my dude!
Me, an initiate: yes my skill level
Honestly sometimes... These red rank players are disappointing, ive went up against a lot of them on my smurf account and geeeeezuz almost all of them rely on cheesy flowcharts, and when they get figured, they dont know what to do or just rage quit
Sometimes it do be like that. Other times you run into a good red rank player, and you realize he's just missing match up knowledge.
