Hey man, this is a great tutorial for Raven and I really appreciate it! Just a bit of constructive feedback: this video would’ve been much easier to follow along with if you kept a display on the screen of the buttons that correspond to the moves and combos you’re talking about. The in-game commands are incredibly tiny and scroll very quickly, making them hard to keep up with. Also, it would help to define what 1, 2, 3, 4, qcf, etc. is at the beginning of the video. I was totally lost with that. Remember that beginners are coming to this video, you have to assume that we’re not familiar with those codes and inputs yet. Like I said, great tutorial and I love how you structured it, but you lost me quickly because you explained it to a beginner as if I was advanced
I'm way too new to understand any of this at the moment, but looks like it will be super useful to come back to in a couple of weeks when I have a bit more practice. Thanks for all your hard work putting this together :)
i'm in the same boat, i need a "baby's first tekken game" video before i can actually apply any of what was discussed but it's something i'll be coming back to later

Great guide! You have a great conversational style and you've clearly put a lot of work into organizing all the info for this difficult character. Thanks!
I'm really glad Raven is back! I haven't played him since tekken 5 and surprisngly the movelist resemblance is pretty recognisable with revolutionary changes. The key here, as it was in Tekken 5, is the back turn. And realized it after seeing this in depth mechanic's analysis, in which I never payed the attention it deserved back then. Now I see it as a neutral, meaning necessairy. Hope I'll make it work. Your guide really helps dude! Always watching from the best!
Dude, thank you so much for this raven content. After taking this and your combos video into the lab I managed to actually win a few rounds against my friends who have been playing tekken and other fighters for years! I've still got a lot to learn, but these basics turned me from a unga-bunga button masher into someone trying to control the neutral!
I started playing Tekken 8 at launch I mained Kazuya but as a new player I can’t really do his dash cancels so I picked up Raven because he looks sick! Hella mix and I get more dmg without having to do a dash cancel and he’s just cool as hell! This man helped me have a decent Raven!
This is a phenomenal guide, raven is highly complicated i think it's very hard for a beginner to learn him but this man basically explained everything perfectly
Thanks for the Raven guides man. I'm new to Tekken, played Soul Calibur games quite a bit and now playing this. Raven is the most interesting character to me so this helps a lotttt
Fantastic guide!! I promised myself this time round I would play more characters and Raven just looks too sick in this game! Gonna try him out but before I do, I knew I had to check out your tutorial first. My biggest issue would be how to utilise him in neutral but you've just given me an amazing starting point. Gonna use this throughout my Raven run. Thanks man for your time and for creating this awesome video! 😄
Thanks, really useful video, looking forward to advanced tutorials. Also could you please show notations for combos, could get a bit overwhelming with the abundance of moves Raven has
Really like this, if you ever make an updated guide or another you might wanna put the notations on screen. This makes it way easier for newer players. Or making it more clear what moves youre using, im often pausing or rewinding to check the input bar
Picked raven as a main and this is the first time i was serious about getting good in a fighting game and this helped me alot,he is complex but he has so many options in every position thst i feel like it's not too hard to execute good combos
This guide is amazing. I’ve been watching videos the past 2 days while being unable to play the game and no one’s video is at this level of getting the point across of how a basic game plan should operate. Now only if I could find a Lili basic guide half as good as this 😔
It’s cool to see ff3 seemingly connecting more consistently with stuff and how the combos setup are a little different. While I get other characters had some stuff at wall tweaked, shame chakram at the wall kinda doesn’t work out the same
Played hwoarang for the last couple days cause i like the kicking archetype but was struggling alot. Decided to try Raven instead and having alotta fun. Seems slightly easier to use and way more flashy lul. Thanks for the guide
Raven feels way more versatile in most positions, if i misinput in a combo i can almost always save it with another move and get close to the same damage
This was super useful! Looking at Raven's movelist I was a little confused on what buttons were worth using and which were fluff/filler, but I should have enough of a foundation to start now
Been trying to learn this character since Tekken 6. Constantly having short lived phases every couple of years where I try to see if I can feel comfortable with them, and failing every time. I take him into practice mode in T8 and without even looking at the movelist really, everything immediately starts to feel intuitive and im in shock, like I will actually be able to call myself a Raven player after almost two decades of not meshing with him(and her). I'm sure a lot of my taking to him so smoothly this time is due to the memory stuff from the failed attempts of the past, but still. Anyway I searched for a guide and now im here, so I can really get it all together and be ranked ready.
yoo appreciate the vid learned a lot! Quick suggestion if you are able to put the combo paths large on the screen as your doing them it'd help me follow along a bit easier as a beginner
Hope you stream some, this is a quality guide. Many guides are way too long (1.5 hours or something) and others are too short and don’t cover important aspects of characters Well done good balance
Damn dude you def have giving some tools in neutral, i went online with him after a couple hours in the lab and straight up got my ass kicked lol this vid def gave me some ideas
When talking about ws2 at around 5:45, you mention there is a free mix with the plus frames. What low would you use to mix the mids with? I'm currently going through this video with tekken up, practicing everything you talked about, and taking notes lol.
It’s definitely been beat but I found a 90-91 damage combo. I don’t know the specific distances but from the default spawn on the spooky temple map, it’s Ff3, ff3, ff4, db2, (back turn)2 1 hold forward, (shadow sprint) 1 2, [right next to wall] b3+4 -> b2 3, b223 I hope the notation isn’t too bad, this is the best I got. It’s only 1 damage higher than what the video showed, but it’s swaggy as hell
05:40 it’s +on hit, not on block. im a 1000% sure you misspoke, i hope you can add something to the video instead of recording again. love your stuff, great guide, hope you’re having fun.
hey bro, thanks for such a cool guide. for the combo at 25:01, what is the last move you do? the move history looks like you're just hitting 3,2 but that obviously isn't working on my side, but i dont see you hitting 3,4 to go into soul zone? thanks again!
I’m so sorry to be confused on this.🤣 I get you mean “while standing” 3 2 (a b/x o) but I still get the qcf 3 every time I try it. And standing doing light kick it has no string other then 334 and I’m just lost.🤣 I did it once early on when trying it but can’t for the life of me figure out how to get it reliably
By far the most frustrating thing for me right now is getting max damage, and so many of those routes involve QCF1,2 T! Just can't quite get it yet, but practice makes perfect, I know its possible but until then at least I can just do b2,4,2 which tends to work in most of the same places that QCF1,2 does.
Just wanted to say you are goated for making these videos. I’ve picked up Raven for the first time and have had a lot of fun. Keep it up! Sidenote: it’s mad to hear my own accent in TH-cam videos, love for that 😂
Amazing video, this helped me a lot with picking up raven. I noticed that u2 was not in ravens move list. After some research, incomplete movelists seem to be an ongoing problem throughout the tekken franchise. Are there any other raven moves you know about that are not in the movelist?

@@imortalXsoulI’m new to Tekken and have been learning Lee in T7/T8 the past month. I’m watching this vid wondering how this guy has all these insane mids, lows, mixups, and plus frames on block. I may have to learn raven haha
Hey dude this is an awesome guide you're super good with this underrated character. I'm a Hwo main but I've always wanted to play Raven and now that he's back for T8 I've put more hours on him than my own main. The only thing I'm struggling with is opening up my opponent. It's easier when I'm going up against someone who mashes to press into me but when I find someone who stands there and blocks the entire game I struggle a lot more. Would you have some advice for that?

I found the alternate wall combo and its easy. Just do b2 2, delay ,1+2. It deal the same amount of damage as back turn 3+4, 1 2 4.

Can you give any sort of advice on picking up qcf 1, 2 after ff3 more consistently?
Don’t do it too early, a quick qcf1 is all you need. If you’re getting jabs it means too early
Hey dude this is an awesome guide you're super good with this underrated character. I'm a Hwo main but I've always wanted to play Raven and now that he's back for T8 I've put more hours on him than my own main. The only thing I'm struggling with is opening up my opponent. It's easier when I'm going up against someone who mashes to press into me but when I find someone who stands there and blocks the entire game I struggle a lot more. Would you have some advice for that?
sweep, fc df3, throws. Make them think about those options and inevitably it opens them up to mids or counter hits 🫡
