Max, I like this type of series where you have coach/player teaching you *insert* fighting game. Especially if they're passionate about the game, and it shows with PhiDX, a true hype man. :D
I wanna get back into this game but its so intimidating for someone who doesnt have time besides the weekends to play long sessions and grind. Glad you're getting better and are able to put in the time and effort because this is a great game. Best of luck on your road to the top ranks
If you're only playing on the weekends then you're probably at a rank where people will insist on pressing buttons. Unsolicited, feel free to ignore, but. Find out what your character's longest, safest poke is, to do if you're thinking of whiff punishes. Find out what your safest most plus move is to interrupt any move and basically be the big stop sign to stop them mashing on your offense. It can be a tracking move, an Armored move, heat engager move ,anything. Find a hop kick, an orbital, or any launcher that you can start a juggle with, this'll be your bread and butter when you hit it. If all else fails, rely on legacy buttons; df 1, b 2, and magic 4 And pace yourself. If your hitting a long losing streak decompress by backing out of the lobby and just mashing on computer. You need to have something that'll take you out of the sweaty mentality and be reminded you're playing to de-stress. Insisting on playing hours and hours and being frustrated is just you running into a brick wall and being frustrated that the wall didn't move. Have fun!
@janematthews9087 thanks for the tips and words of encouragement! Definitely appreciate it and I agree about the frustration lol. Understood everything you said except "magic" 4 😅
you don't need long sessions or grind, what you focus on is deliberate practice, so if you played against me for instance and we're practicing specific stuff, you'll learn and pick it up in no time versus if you play just to play and it's far faster to learn then if you played everyday, good sleep is important for this too.
damn bro, watching this feels kinda like learning fighting game culture, not just how to play better. the whole "throw this out, see how they react, and that will inform both of us how we move forward" sounds so close to like "a fight is a conversation between fighters" AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Max is really good at making people guess on the mix-up and executing lows. He is also great at adapt on the combo based on situation such as where they are at at the stage and what state the opponent is at. I would say when max fully utilizes what is punishable, i fully believe he can achieve tekken king or even higher.
Lars gameplay is so chaotic and fast paced! I would probably have the worst Lars of all time but max fits Lars so well, such a blast watching him play Tekken.
@@sam-tc2ky cant go into replay in the middle of the match also cant remember every single thing so def helps to just ask and look right and theres the answer
At around 18:30, you mentioned that you tried to go into DEN but was in running. Iirc, do 3+4 in order to get into DEN from running (Edit: Fixed timestamp)
This is SO MUCH MORE enjoyable to watch as PhiDX solo videos. I like him but damn, its exhausting and boring to listen to him because everything is so dry when he talks about all the grey theory. But with Max by his side and some fun, its SO MUCH EASIER to actually follow PhiDX and what hes saying
His PC is way better than your PS5 and on top of that, Max tweaked some parameters of the engine in order to improve the visual quality (he briefly talk about it in the beginning of the second session of coaching)
He's learning.
"He's beginning to believe."
Max: "I know Tekken!"
Wonder how many people understand that reference
Matrix
Man I Love PhiDX energy when Max does big moves.
bro i would become the best player ever from just having phidx hyping me up like that
are we gonna talk about max's sick-ass strider lars or what? that shit goes HARD
Oh yeah, looks fucking CLEAN
Stride on over to Final Round, sir
One of the most satisfying moments in gaming, when you realize you’re GETTING VERY GUD at the game!
It is a very gratifying experience. I felt that way with Dbfz.
Until the certain point where you feel like your improvement feel lesser over the time (like an uncapped exp)
Max going back to tekken 8 brings me joy, i'm so happy

Something about this is actually getting me into Tekken! Phi's reactions definitely help! Are there any videos of him coaching other people?
Check out his TH-cam channel fam. He has plenty of coaching content.
You should watch his videos of him coaching Lilypichu for the Sajam Slam. It is very fun.
For your own mental sanity don't play Tekken 😅
@@sicksmoker253 bad ideology everyone should play tekken its amazing and fun at all levels
15:51 - PhiDX “Oh this guy got combos, oh no he fxcked up” got me 😂
15:35 kaz came into phidx's room and hit him with a counter hit df+2
phi is teaching everyone now
Love the Tekken content
WE NEED MORE!!!
That first guy was like "I have buttons and I'm gonna use them, dammit!"
It's all good to hear phiDX get so happy when max do some combos its like watching a father be excited for his kid
At 7:55 bro sounded like knuckles when you hit him in sonic adventure
The Tekken training arc continues! Soon Max will be as good as Dokibird.
this feels like Iron-man giving pointers to Captain America on how to F people up more efficiently
Phidx so focused, he ain't moving.
It’s always important to get good practice
Please use Phi's edit of the intro, whenever we get to the final part

Magic 4 refers to a characters standing neutral 4 kick. It is called a magic 4 because most characters will counter hit launch with that button.
Love PhiDX, awesome to see you doing content with him and your improvements. Can’t wait for the next one.

Watching Tekken never gets old, just a peak game.
17:44 Is that Reina costume supposed to be a Risk of Rain Commando?
This is the first time Phi is getting outpaced by his student in making the youtube video(s) of the coaching sessions 😂
This video was intense!!!! Well done max. 😊
Cant wait for new episodes of this
That Strider cosplay is really dope.
I get as excited as PhiDX when Max hits the arc blast
i feel like half of the coaching here is just being a hypeman when max does good shit
11:57 insane micro step
lets gooo!!! more tekken
Wassup Max? Good matches bro! :)
20:16 hit her with that ultra instinct
I felt like ive watched this video 5 times already lol
Lars gameplay is so chaotic and fast paced! I would probably have the worst Lars of all time but max fits Lars so well, such a blast watching him play Tekken.
as a wise man once said, watching max learn T8 "is like watching a chia pet grow", slow and surely.
Perfect perfectionist professor of ps5 pugilism
PhiDX channelling his inner martian 12:13
I so want this kind of coaching sometime
10:10 what is this scooby doo ass laugh
Phidx kept jinxing his combo man 🤣
max you gotta turn on vsync bro 😭😭
15:41 *I made a similar noise*
HE HAD TO DO IT
This dude is playing Stryder
Phi moaning all over the stream
Yo HeihaShe lol.
Max is making Tekken King in no time.
@@tiger-rgneveryone has access to that convenience thx to replay so u should alrdy be at tekken god then
@@sam-tc2ky cant go into replay in the middle of the match also cant remember every single thing so def helps to just ask and look right and theres the answer
@@Meowster-np1lm fair, everyone still has the resources to rank up higher but yea i see how that convenience is an extra help
@@Meowster-np1lm nothing stopping you from finding the frame data online and having a tab open on your phone or computer to look at
@@tiger-rgnno you wouldn’t, still have to apply it, react, space, time things etc etc, you just suck or don’t lab guy

Seeing my mains locked me in. Drag and Lars
Does anyone notice the screen tearing happening 😢
A Mishima waifu with good movement is the scariest thing they added to this game.
I really wish i had the ability to fully commit to tekken and some other fighting games, i just can't get past the "im bad" intro barrier lol
Now max and I just have to run the Ft5
What is with the screen tear?
yeah idk what is going on with there is a lot
not sure either, but the screen tearing was already there in the stream + VOD
This is SO MUCH MORE enjoyable to watch as PhiDX solo videos. I like him but damn, its exhausting and boring to listen to him because everything is so dry when he talks about all the grey theory. But with Max by his side and some fun, its SO MUCH EASIER to actually follow PhiDX and what hes saying
Screen tearing is crazy💀
wtf is that still image of phidx????
ORA ORA ORA
bro fix the screen tearing
Why does his Tekken look so smooth and beautiful? I’m on PS5 and it looks last gen in comparison.
Motion blur is an option on PC. It greatly enhances the visual appeal.
His PC is way better than your PS5 and on top of that, Max tweaked some parameters of the engine in order to improve the visual quality (he briefly talk about it in the beginning of the second session of coaching)
Well yeah, you’re on a console and he’s on a pretty strong gaming computer.
All you really have to do is mash.
Noice
abuse the movement. 60% of players think you move backwards and forwards by holding the dpad
PhiDX sounds has a more expressive voice than a muppet... maybe a touch overacting there.
Was this recorded with V-SYNC off? The tearing is terrible. Watching it is genuinely making me ill
All tekken fights look the same.
This is the wrong intro
Best Lars advice from God himself, change character cause Lars is trash
