Please reference the time stamps for each topic. I focus on the parts of Tekken most videos won't cover because they're not flashy, but will often set apart the new players from the seasoned veterans. If you can truly master these skills, your Tekken career can only go up from here.

Watch me play and teach Tekken:

[0:00] Focus of fluid movement
[2:56] Dealing with grabs, especially in forced situations
[5:20] Threat of the mid/low mix-up game
[7:38] Taking these basics to all characters and all other Tekken games
[8:34] Once you crouch the high or block the low...

    First timing a character at low ranks and demolishing combo-gods by using only basic attacks amuses me.
  • @squidgirls
    this video really tied everything together for me. I've been enjoying learning Tekken but I wasnt grasping the concept of when to mix mids and lows and when to grab. You clearly and expertly put it in a way that even I could understand. Cheers to you man!

    Thanks for the video. I’m a SF player but I’m going to go on a deep dive into T8 when I get some time off soon and it’s so good to get advice from veteran players on what’s important. Been practicing movement and throw breaks every day, slowly getting better. 5 minutes of practice before a ranked set really helps out. Keep it up Royal!

    OG RoyalFlush! I remember your Jin back in the day! Good video bro 👍🏾
  • @starbutter2730
    Ty, Royal. Im a newbie to the series and I appreciate you helping us all on our journey❤❤❤
  • @sneharashmi7553
    Thanks for the tips! The mid low mix up is the most basic of all which people rarely talk about. I came to know about it from Juicebox's video. Except that his was 48 minutes long & the gist was this was the reason why players didn't level up!

    whoa just a few seconds in and I also just so happened to pick up raven as my pocket pick! Been labbing him for a week now and it’s been a blast
  • @Alphagrey718
    Nice videos first tekken im actually taking serious and this helps a lot
  • @lordmango6060
    Imma watch this video a buuunch of times. Thanks for this! Btw, what song are you using for the stage?
  • @ricky4379
    im confused @ 6:50 you said the mid low mix doesn't come from highs, am i supposed to just use mid pokes for the most part and then switch it up with lows at certain ranges? or do i use highs for the most part? cus you're saying it doesn't start with highs but you're using her 1 2 string. Sorry if this is a silly question, i'm new to t8.
  • Thanks for the video, only thing is that your audio could be slightly better. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on you though 😊
  • @tkZombie_
    take my sub and like bro. good shit
  • @ragnarok7452
    Your right, in fact people at my ranks or below my ranks have much better combo damage than me. Yet they lose more than half the time. Focussing on basics could help em beat scrubs like me.
  • @__vha
    Frame traps and mix ups have gotten me through low ranks. Its hilarious because someone will hit like an 80 damage 11 hit combo on me but they have 0 basics
  • @MrSaiyan1
    Having good neutral and baiting higher ranked players into throwing out whiff punishes has carried me heavy.
  • @rasdiggle
    I remember playing Tekken 2 for the first time in the arcade, no combo videos showing me exactly what to press just learning how to actually play the game.
  • @Doyenn
    When I'm actively moving in game I notice I get launched alot.
  • @Vijin321
    People should learn combos first because that is the most accessable aspect to have and relatively consistent, regardless of character. New players should just be aware that combos aren't the most important thing to acquire but rather the easiest, as far as Tekken goes.

    Thanks for the knowledge sharing, I also need the name of the song playing 😂
