I FORGOT to mention ff1+2 in the neutral for a safe mid ch launcher! Very important move as well!! Also for Punishment I think I didn't mention how to practice it... Use the Punishment training in the practice mode. If you feel comfortable doing it, record the moves like I did and practice like that. 10 min left and ride side everyday before you start playing, different character every day. This will definitely help you to improve your Punishment in the game. If I have missed anything else please let me know in the comments :)
Different characters - i am doing that cause i am stoopid but i always play many characters at once. And in tekken its hella damn hard, its just hard to remember all buttons and its even hard to press them for a former mk player
Ich weiß du benutzt denn HORI Fighting Commander Controller...ich würde gerne wissen ob du nur das pad benutzt oder auch die schultertasten zum Spielen. Das Video hat mir geholfen, da Tekken 8 mein erstes Fighting Game ist, danke
Thanks. Kaizoku. I love that about the FGC . Legit tournament players are showing you how to play a character and tekken in general. Love it. Thanks , that you invested the time for this guide.
This is great. I downloaded your ghost from the leaderboards to learn from, without knowing you did youtube. And here i find your guide to learn from! Fantastic! Bless you man!
Great Tutorial vid ! my favorite was when you went through the frame traps. that segment is very helpful to people who are new to tekken and are struggling against button mashers. i enjoy watchin your streams to learn as well . thank you
Thank you for this KaizokuLars! Been stuck on Tekken 6 Lars lol got destroyed in T7 and finally learning how to play properly in T8 especially with the netcode. Stuck in Red rank at the moment cuz I’ve realized that I have so many bad habits (random uf3, random db4 on offense, whiffing ark blasts, using uf4 as a panic move lol) and you really have to train matchups. Tekken is such a beautiful and painful game at the same time. Thanks for inspiring us Lars mains! Hoping you win tournaments with him in Tekken 8’s bright future! 🇵🇭🇩🇪
Thank you bro, don't worry it takes some time but the more you play the more you will get used to the game. Lars mains need to believen in themselfs so we can make it really far I believe 🫡 appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼
This is a fantastic guide! Seems like every move is important Hahaha, really appreciate the way you articulated and explained how and when to use moves in specific cases. It's like a textbook you can open up at any time and learn from for a few semesters. Really enjoyed learning from your experience! Lars players have been so wholesome when teaching it's unreal!
Really really appreciate the kind words! I was not sure about it since it was my first video of talking and it is so different to streaming lmao glad you enjoyed it and I hope I can explain more stuff about Lars in the future ✍️
Thanks for the guide this really helped me decide that i should start to main lars. I got drag to garyu and wanted another big damage character to my arsenal and i love lars’ damage potential and flashines. Keep up the good work👍
Found out about your channels recently on Twitch and you've been a godsend, man! I've been playing Lars since Tekken 6, but haven't played Tekken in years and am trying to get back into the groove with this game. The frame traps are especially helpful and I'm looking forward to incorporate that into my game. Thank you so much for the guide!
Great guide! Something else I'd like to note for his 2,1 entry into LEN, you can actually cancel it and go straight into uf4. You get the same crushing properties as if you were doing uf4 from crouch. I had another lars do it against me in the mirror and it consistently crushed my df2 and b4! Really sneaky!
I'd also recommend turning on your inputs as well. Especially in that combo video. Having your inputs on screen as well as the notations would help out a huge deal for visual learners 👍
Thank you! i'm so glad you are making this guide, i have been watching you play on livestream always trying to analyse your gameplay and now everything is clear so i understand the reason why some moves are getting used!
Fantastic guide man, you inspired me to pick up Lars. I was waiting for your guide. Tekken 8 is my first Tekken game and I had no clue what character would be for me.
Literally starting my journey on tekken, and lars got me hooked to the game, grateful to found u here! Ill be consuming your content to get better at the game, tysm
Do you have any tips for someone with minimum to 0 knowledge about fighting games tho? one specific problem that im having, is chosing between ps4 controller or an arcade stick, since im mainly a keyboard warrior and fps enjoyer, but at the same time I want to learn something to use in events@@KaizokuLars
@@KaizokuLars ty! Any tips about controllers? I've only played fps mainly on my keyboard, but I want something that is more usable in tournaments, do you think a PS4 controller is enough?
@@mourex22 It is! Many pro players play on controller. However, if you play on a ps4 controller you do need an adapter if you wanna play in offline tournaments since it will mostly be played on a ps5. But other than that it don’t matter on what you play really, it’s a preference thing.
So glad to have found your channel. Lars is my other main aside from Dragunov ever since they both came out but I never got to master Lars the same way I did Drag. So thanks for the vids! Peace!
And how tf you deal against poking? It's so hard to play when you need to rely on fake mixups and 3 moves (Lars overall toolkit it's a bit unsafe and you can become predictable too fast)
Great guide, finally have enough fundamentals to put more flashy combos and add more of my move set to my game plan, damn it feels great to actually learn in this game.💯💯
As a Lars main since Tekken 6, I must say that this is a very nice guide. And I get what u said that not all people had sufficient time to practice their character cause I can think of myself in that state. I discovered you first in Tekken 7 and I was like... Man! Youre one of the best Lars players I look up too. I will see more of you in Tekken 8 sir. Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you so much I really appreciate your comment, old school Lars player very nice to see! I hope to make it to Rev Major in Philippines one day. Maybe in Tekken 8 😶🌫️
Ive been determined to have lars be my main again because he was who i used in older games. this is the the first tekken game ive played since tekken tag.
Really really good lars guide :) im at shinryu right now and this guide helps me a looot to improve. Rn i try go get your punishments in my muscle memory. The crouch punishments are sick
I was looking for a good Lars ghost to compare to mine, and just happened to pick yours. It's not quite the same as the real thing, I see. I still have much to learn.
I haven't picked up T8 yet but I wanted to see what Lars was like and I am so glad they kept him similar to 7, so I don't have to relearn everything, I am surprised how they changed certain moves like 2,1 though. Either way, fantastic guide, thank you so much, and I hope to see you online.
Thanks for posting this guide. I don't have those same 8-10 hours a day to play like I use to either, and I was about to start playing Drag... No I just needed to re-learn how to play Lars and really how to play T8 so thanks mayne!
i started off as a victor main, but im making the switch to lars because i think he will suit my playstyle more. i made it to mighty ruler with vic, which isnt the best or anything, but certainly far enough to understand the character, and why i think lars will be better for the kind of tekken i wanna play. thanks for this video. i look forward to hopping in the game after i take all these notes. i will say, coming from victor, having a d/b4 that has the same ch properties but is 5 frames faster is gonna be insane. i was already wrecking fools with victors slow ass 20 frame d/b4. oh man. 15 frame d/b4 is gonna be hype.
I‘m sorry to break your heart but db4 of Lars is not 15f 😭 it’s actually slower than Victors. It’s 21f. The difference is Victors is 20f and +4 on hit and Lars‘s is 21f and +5. I’m glad you understand what type of playstyle you have and that Lars is the character for it. Keep it up 🙌🏼
brother thank you for your humility and your involvement I discovered you a few days ago and you made me want to get involved in tekken 8 and in this character. I notice that a lot of players hate Lars. Why? love from Paris
They hate Lars because they feel like he is annoying to play against which I can understand. Don't listen to these people, Lars was not a good character for a long time so we do deserve him how he is now lmao I'm glad you wanna play Tekken and pick Lars, you will have a lot of fun with him for sure!
Really appreciate the guide. I think I have the fundamentals down of Lars, but im stuck on mix ups and im very predictable. Any chance you could make a mix up guide, tips and tricks, pressure strings and such. Have a lovely day/night
Lol didn't know you can delay b2,1. I stumbled upon this thing where you can delay some hits when i was in lab but didn't even think about b2 string, lol. Thanks
Thanks for this !! Claudio main but he’s kinda nerfed so tryna pick up another character so it’s between Lars and drag but this video made me wanna play Lars and now I’m orange ranks :))) thanks
Thank you Kaizo for your best video 👋👋👋👋 Jesus, that's a lot of information to remember Lol As you said in the video, you trained Lars for many hours and years, I'm still a beginner with him, and I always ask me if I'll be able to perform great with Lars one day!!! But thank you again for sharing your wisdom with my favorite char in Tekken❤
Thank you for your kind words and don't worry, I had the same thoughts when I started this character. If you truly believe in you and in that character you will achieve greatness. Just never give up :)
@@KaizokuLars What you said encouraged me a lot, know that one of the great players with Lars that I admire went through the same thing as me 🥹❤️ I promise you, I won't give up on Lars, I'll work hard with him 💪🏻🙏🏻
Your welcome! I don't know about beginners I just know about torunaments in general. If you are on Twitter you will always get news about tournaments and stuff.
correct me if this is not important, but you didn't talk about uf3 which misses high shots and uf4 which misses low shots and is a safe shot, I think these are similar moves
uf3 is very risky and uf4 is something you can throw out more often. However it is easy to step. But yeah uf4 is something you could use more often I forgot about that lmao thanks!
nice guide! it would be great if you did a video on the thought process behind adjusting combos based on the wall distance. because the Lars combos go too far on the small maps or the wall break maps! 😭
@@KaizokuLars thanks for the reply, I wanted to tell you that I recently started playing and I also play lars, you are my point of reference, really great
@@KaizokuLars Yeah like Frame traps or tips to land the f1+2. After watching your video again, the df33 gives you enough space to land the f1+2 punish ^stuff like that was super super great!! Wish there was more! (if any?)!! youre seriously the best Lars player in the world
Yes I have it for Tekken 8 too. I will start giving coaching on the 15th April again. If you are interested you can send me dm on twitter or discord. My discord is: KaizokuLars
I'm sorry but it was my first video like that, I can do mistakes :( will show the buttons in the next one. I did call out the moves though so if you learn the notations you will know which buttons to press.
Lars is a good looking bro and has some effects thats why i picked him. Its hard to get into tekken after mk where there are so many characters with specific powers, special moves and animations and in tekken its just bunch of naked dudes fist fiting each other ahah. So i picked Claudio cause he does jojo poses and lars cause he is kinda electric. Sometimes i wish tekken had more special effect things like Zafina claws but i am not complaining hey
Haha I can understand that and nice these are my two characters as well lmao if you have fighting game experience then you won't struggle too much. It is a different game for sure but once you learn the mechanics of the game you should be good.
@@KaizokuLars i am a slow learner but i will manage. But its hella hard to combine all the moves into something dynamic, i still just lose to some low or 1 move spam from Jins and Kazyuas ahah
@@Kreasddjb I see, as I said in the video you have to accept your learning process. Just because you are a slow learner doesn't mean you can not reach the top. It just means you have to work harder for it. Also use the replay mode. You can control your character there so if you die because of someone spamming one move you can easily look it up there and see what the best option is to beat that :)
@@KaizokuLars Woah, moving in replay? I gotta try thats just for the interest. Thank, i wouldve never touched replay button without that advise for sure. I kinda like that i am a slow learner. I already have 4 characters which moves i am trying to remember and use. And labbed like 4 enemies. And i kinda like being slow, not hasting myself to meet the sweats. Fighting scrubs is more fun :D Thanks again and i hope you will enjoy this game for a long time. Do you think you will stop playing at some time? Cause i get that tekken games arent that different from each other. Mk1 turned out to be somewhat like mk11 and its part of the reason people are getting bored too fast (not the main reason thoug lol)
@@Kreasddjb yeah try it out! That's perfect if you enjoy it 🙌🏼 Nope, I don't think I will stop playing this game anywhere soon I just love Tekken, I love competing and I love making content. I just wanna do so much more in the future and there are goals I wanna achieve as a player. Before that I won't stop playing for sure.
Ich küss doch dein Herz, einer der wenigen die Lars spielen und dann noch so gut. Weiter so bruder, irgendwann gibt es ein 1 v 1 xD Grüße aus Duisburg 47
Depends on the option you did before. If you do DEN 3 into SEN 3+4 you will get jabbed out. The solution here is to do DEN 3 into SEN 1. It's a frame trap.
I got a question I’d like to hear your answer to I wanna main Lars I think I’ve settled on that but I also enjoy playing around with other characters so you have any suggestions when it comes to practicing a main and still overall improving but also trying out other characters?
@@KaizokuLars okay thanks I and even just practicing a different character would help learning the matchup. I don’t have enough time to play to be really good at everyone but I’d like to have a main and some other people I can play and still have a good time.
@@Thebmanboss that’s the most important thing. If you have fun you will automatically get better even if you don’t have much time to play. And yeah I also learned a lot of characters because of that reason. Started to play them to learn the matchup and it really helps for sure.
For a minute I thought I was getting somewhere I got red rank with a 3 day old Lars… But then I went to player matches to take the pressure off and an orange (true orange.. not Tekken 8 fake, raised orange) Steve and Hwo just wouldn’t let me breathe The whole 6 rounds were one big frame trap. Tapping me with hits and if I tried to be patient and wait my turn, big lows would come It seemed like my only choice was to press too soon. If I waited even a split second they would go again I’ve had some hard matches but never have I actually been lost like that since Tag 2 I can have good matches with some great players but I rarely get stuck like that There was absolutely 0 chance of me finding a way in. Everything was so safe
There is always a chance to get out. I know that feeling too well especially when I was getting to the top Level I played against players where I felt like I could do nothing and there is absolutely no chance for me to do anything to them. But you have to realize they are human as well no matter who it is. There is always a way you just have to find it. The example you gave is literally mindgame. If they are hitting you with frame traps you stay patient. If they know that they go for lows. That's the time where you can disrespect there frames to make them go for frame traps again and them you stay patient. So you have to try to think how your opponent is thinking. It can be hard but as I said there is always a way to find a hole in your opponents offense. The key to find is defense and matchup knowledge. Take the experience and one day you will understand what I mean just don't give up.

Great guide! Something else I'd like to note for his 2,1 entry into LEN, you can actually cancel it and go straight into uf4. You get the same crushing properties as if you were doing uf4 from crouch. I had another lars do it against me in the mirror and it consistently crushed my df2 and b4! Really sneaky!
Been trying for an hour trying to figure out what the move at 7:49 is, really wish there were more guides with the command history on.
and for anyone else that wants to know, it's DF3 into D2
F1+2
Next time I will turn it on.
This helped my Lars a ton, exactly what I needed!

I just started Lars this week even though i don’t know the moves well the timing tips have helped a lot
Try to learn the notation. It’s basically the language of the game. I always called out the moves so you will understand what I am talking about :)

I am your big fan . Can you please teach us how to do lars limited entry to WS 2 mixup
When you enter limited entry try to hold down and wait a bit then do ws2. You have to find the right timing for it :)
Keep creating content even clips are appreciated, your Lars is too good!
will do it, thanks :)
Great Video Thank you! one question do you think F1,2 into silent 2 or 3 is a good move to use in neutral to?
In the neutral only if they don't know the matchup. But it is risky since it's a fake mixup. Way better to do when f2,1 hits so better after a punish.
This’ll help me to become the number one LiLi!! 🙏🏼

Damn you did it! I just asked on a video yesterday hahah
It was already done but yeah 😅
Just subbed! I’m starting it learn Lars and I’m about to get him to fujin
How do u feel abt lars' strength compared to dragunov, reina, strongest chars?
He is strong, but not top tier. The characters you mentioned are stronger for sure.

Lol didn't know you can delay b2,1. I stumbled upon this thing where you can delay some hits when i was in lab but didn't even think about b2 string, lol. Thanks
Man how tf am i meant to remember all these moves
Thanks for this !! Claudio main but he’s kinda nerfed so tryna pick up another character so it’s between Lars and drag but this video made me wanna play Lars and now I’m orange ranks :))) thanks
Nice! Glad to hear it Claudio is my second character. And yeah unfortunately he is kinda nerfed. I'm glad you are liking Lars though :)
time to take notes :D
Thank you Kaizo for your best video 👋👋👋👋
Jesus, that's a lot of information to remember Lol
As you said in the video, you trained Lars for many hours and years, I'm still a beginner with him, and I always ask me if I'll be able to perform great with Lars one day!!! But thank you again for sharing your wisdom with my favorite char in Tekken❤
Thank you for your kind words and don't worry, I had the same thoughts when I started this character. If you truly believe in you and in that character you will achieve greatness. Just never give up :)
@@KaizokuLars What you said encouraged me a lot, know that one of the great players with Lars that I admire went through the same thing as me 🥹❤️
I promise you, I won't give up on Lars, I'll work hard with him 💪🏻🙏🏻
yess def needed this
thx for the guide
Awesome guide.
Got into Tekken and Lars like a week ago so that helps a lot thank you! Also do you know of any online tournaments for beginners in eu?
Your welcome! I don't know about beginners I just know about torunaments in general. If you are on Twitter you will always get news about tournaments and stuff.
Hello is it possible for the opponent to interrupt Lars 1,4 with a jab. Lars is +8 after 1 and his 4 is 22f
Great vid! Can we see the inputs in your next vid?i just started learning tekken and its really confusing not seeing the actual inputs.
I would recommend you to learn the notations since I was talking about them in the video. But yeah I will also show the inputs in the next video 🫡
Will do bro ,thank you !!!@@KaizokuLars
What’s is the input you are using to do you low at 24:09?
I'm not doing a move at that time lmao
Yo I downloaded your ghost and been fighting that to pick up some new strats for Lars big help
I don't know how good the ghost system is but if it helps that's good!
It’s decent lol I’ve seen you’re gameplay you’re way better cause I won like two sets and I ain’t that good 😂 but it does show tools that you can use
correct me if this is not important, but you didn't talk about uf3 which misses high shots and uf4 which misses low shots and is a safe shot, I think these are similar moves
uf3 is very risky and uf4 is something you can throw out more often. However it is easy to step. But yeah uf4 is something you could use more often I forgot about that lmao thanks!
Sick guide Thats why hes the goat.. THE GOAT!!
nice guide! it would be great if you did a video on the thought process behind adjusting combos based on the wall distance. because the Lars combos go too far on the small maps or the wall break maps! 😭
I could do that in the future but it kinda depends on where you start the combo. Or do you mean when you launch someone in the beginning of the round?
@@KaizokuLars not really at the start, just adapting combos to various wall distance in general.
@@Maxwell-yg3fr I can do a wallcarry combo in general yeah that is what I had in my mind anyways.
Great guide, really appreciate! Can you show us the optimal combos?
Thanks! I have a combo video on my channel too. You can find the notations in the description of the video as well :)
@@KaizokuLars thanks for the reply, I wanted to tell you that I recently started playing and I also play lars, you are my point of reference, really great
@@Berial88 Thank you! really appreciate it :)
This is the best Lars guide compared to the other ones
Can we get even more sets up for f1+2 on the next video?
Thanks :) are you talking about setups after a combo? Or like frametraps?
@@KaizokuLars
Yeah like Frame traps or tips to land the f1+2.
After watching your video again, the df33 gives you enough space to land the f1+2 punish
^stuff like that was super super great!!
Wish there was more! (if any?)!!
youre seriously the best Lars player in the world
@@enerdgeticu really appreciate the kind words bro 🙏🏼 I will write it down and make a video on that in the future ✍️🏼
Thank you thank you@@KaizokuLars !
You really opened my eyes for spacing and waiting/patience for whiff punish
Complete game charger for me!
I saw you have metafy but only tekken 7. Do you plan to pick that back up for T8?
Yes I have it for Tekken 8 too. I will start giving coaching on the 15th April again. If you are interested you can send me dm on twitter or discord.
My discord is: KaizokuLars
@@KaizokuLars sent you a friendrequest on discord
Finally I can hit God of Destruction now 🙏
Easy 😅
What is that punch that puts Lars in SEN? Around 43 mins into the vid
Don’t know which one you mean but he has DEN1f db2f and df2 as punches that goes into SEN.
You can Backdash after an attack? :D God I have so much more to learn. Great Video. Thank you!
Thanks! Don't worry experience is everything.
Can you do a combo tutorial?
The "Ultimate" Larz guide would have the buttons for the moves you speak of! I am a noob...
I'm sorry but it was my first video like that, I can do mistakes :( will show the buttons in the next one. I did call out the moves though so if you learn the notations you will know which buttons to press.
Lars is a good looking bro and has some effects thats why i picked him. Its hard to get into tekken after mk where there are so many characters with specific powers, special moves and animations and in tekken its just bunch of naked dudes fist fiting each other ahah. So i picked Claudio cause he does jojo poses and lars cause he is kinda electric. Sometimes i wish tekken had more special effect things like Zafina claws but i am not complaining hey
Haha I can understand that and nice these are my two characters as well lmao if you have fighting game experience then you won't struggle too much. It is a different game for sure but once you learn the mechanics of the game you should be good.
@@KaizokuLars i am a slow learner but i will manage. But its hella hard to combine all the moves into something dynamic, i still just lose to some low or 1 move spam from Jins and Kazyuas ahah
@@Kreasddjb I see, as I said in the video you have to accept your learning process. Just because you are a slow learner doesn't mean you can not reach the top. It just means you have to work harder for it. Also use the replay mode. You can control your character there so if you die because of someone spamming one move you can easily look it up there and see what the best option is to beat that :)
@@KaizokuLars Woah, moving in replay? I gotta try thats just for the interest. Thank, i wouldve never touched replay button without that advise for sure. I kinda like that i am a slow learner. I already have 4 characters which moves i am trying to remember and use. And labbed like 4 enemies. And i kinda like being slow, not hasting myself to meet the sweats. Fighting scrubs is more fun :D
Thanks again and i hope you will enjoy this game for a long time. Do you think you will stop playing at some time? Cause i get that tekken games arent that different from each other. Mk1 turned out to be somewhat like mk11 and its part of the reason people are getting bored too fast (not the main reason thoug lol)
@@Kreasddjb yeah try it out! That's perfect if you enjoy it 🙌🏼
Nope, I don't think I will stop playing this game anywhere soon I just love Tekken, I love competing and I love making content. I just wanna do so much more in the future and there are goals I wanna achieve as a player. Before that I won't stop playing for sure.
I thought I could use some of his moves in tekken 6 looks like I'm going back to 0 since some his moves are now gone
Yep, the moveset is kinda different for Tekken 6 Lars but he still has some moves from that game too. Don’t worry you will get used to him.
What do you use tò play? Controller, fight Stick etc
Controller, Hori Fighting Commander
i dont rememb if u say about db1+2, now its a auto dash into D Entry
Yep didn’t talk about it. Never use it to be honest so I didn’t wanna talk about it.
Darf ich fragen was du auf deine schultertasten gebinded hast?
L1 1+4 R1 3+4 L2 1+2 R2 2+4
Ist aber komplett Gewöhnungssache also macht keinen Unterschied wo du was bindest.
Ich küss doch dein Herz, einer der wenigen die Lars spielen und dann noch so gut. Weiter so bruder, irgendwann gibt es ein 1 v 1 xD
Grüße aus Duisburg 47
Ich danke dir bro, safe gibt es das mal! Grüße zurück 🙌🏼
What do you do about getting jabbed out of ur stance always happens to me
Depends on the option you did before. If you do DEN 3 into SEN 3+4 you will get jabbed out. The solution here is to do DEN 3 into SEN 1. It's a frame trap.
@@KaizokuLars okay thanks most of the time they jab me out as soon as I do DEN can’t even press a button
@@ksuperfly55 timing 👍🏼
I got a question I’d like to hear your answer to I wanna main Lars I think I’ve settled on that but I also enjoy playing around with other characters so you have any suggestions when it comes to practicing a main and still overall improving but also trying out other characters?
I would say do some Lars only sessions and whenever you play friends or casuals try someone else and see how it feels.
@@KaizokuLars okay thanks I and even just practicing a different character would help learning the matchup. I don’t have enough time to play to be really good at everyone but I’d like to have a main and some other people I can play and still have a good time.
@@Thebmanboss that’s the most important thing. If you have fun you will automatically get better even if you don’t have much time to play. And yeah I also learned a lot of characters because of that reason. Started to play them to learn the matchup and it really helps for sure.
@@KaizokuLars thanks for your responses your input has really been helpful and your videos have been noticeably helping my gameplay 👍
@@Thebmanboss Thank you brother, appreciate the kind words 🙏
For a minute I thought I was getting somewhere
I got red rank with a 3 day old Lars…
But then I went to player matches to take the pressure off and an orange (true orange.. not Tekken 8 fake, raised orange) Steve and Hwo just wouldn’t let me breathe
The whole 6 rounds were one big frame trap. Tapping me with hits and if I tried to be patient and wait my turn, big lows would come
It seemed like my only choice was to press too soon. If I waited even a split second they would go again
I’ve had some hard matches but never have I actually been lost like that since Tag 2
I can have good matches with some great players but I rarely get stuck like that
There was absolutely 0 chance of me finding a way in. Everything was so safe
There is always a chance to get out. I know that feeling too well especially when I was getting to the top Level I played against players where I felt like I could do nothing and there is absolutely no chance for me to do anything to them. But you have to realize they are human as well no matter who it is. There is always a way you just have to find it.
The example you gave is literally mindgame. If they are hitting you with frame traps you stay patient. If they know that they go for lows. That's the time where you can disrespect there frames to make them go for frame traps again and them you stay patient. So you have to try to think how your opponent is thinking. It can be hard but as I said there is always a way to find a hole in your opponents offense. The key to find is defense and matchup knowledge. Take the experience and one day you will understand what I mean just don't give up.
I am a beginner player in tekken 8 and i main Lars
What do u think about tier of this character? S,A,B? Strong or mid, trash character?
A+ and potential to be S after patches but don't look at the Tiers too much. I'm glad you picked Lars before knowing that.
Dash blocking vid would be really appreciated 😄
Kaizoku! It's me your favorite Lars player 😂(look at the name lol) Thanks for this bro! Cant wait to watch it!
Haha thank you bro!
@@KaizokuLars hey bro, I posted on your wall on metafy. Don't know if you got the notification. Let me know if we can work something out. Thanks!
@@RunningWild. I didn’t get it I will check it out. Message me on twitter please
@@KaizokuLars I don't have a Twitter account 😭 I'll try to create one. The message was on your wall on metafy though. It wasn't a direct message.
@@RunningWild. you can also message me on discord my name is the same as here :)
