Man not knowing holding down back really destroyed me thanks for the tips ❤

So thats why i felt like 50% of my opponents attacks were guard breakers

[aldoanom]

Got 1000+ hours of game play, learned and play every characters, familiarized with most of frame data, ranked quite high enough, but always wondered why i never be able to block low strings when i already pressing down, thank you so much. I guess I'll never stop learning

REMEMBER: neutral guard has slightly less pushback than back guard. This is normally not important, but against specific moves such as Paul’s Deathfist you may get a punish where one wouldn’t exist before. It’s still a risk because of how it interacts with strings but by all means know your options.

Yeah, but what he doesn't tell you is that neutral guarding while standing reduces pushback.
Some attacks (not all) are harder to punish if you hold back to block them.

Learning how to rewire yourself to naturally stand block just to have Bryan mains chopping your legs apart with the age old mixup, Hatchet kick into Hatchet kick into, you guessed it, a third hatchet kick.

Tekken is pain

[XxDevilXNeverXCryxX]

real talk, a lot of openings in fighting games are usually with lows but Tekken really changes that up with Overheads being able to link in some serious damage.

I've played every tekken except the handheld versions and I just learned something new today

[nai-ge]

I swear I learn something new everyday with this game lol

Coming from Street Fighter and Guilty Gear, the stand block thing is so hard to get used to. I was wondering why I was getting launched and having half my health deleted every match 😂

[Qaintrain]

God, I feel like a noob.
I used to always think you can just hit down.Now I know why sometimes I get hit by some lows Good video. Thanks for the advice.

[RickRockerMusic]

I’ve always wondered why blocking in neutral didn’t always work. Guess it’s on move specific basis.

[SPEDDYYREAPER]

Holy shit I had no idea neutral could be opened and you needed to hit down/back to block lows… the more you know…

[drchastr]

I actually thought Ali kicks were like this that if you get hit by the first you eat the whole thing . Thank you for the tip

[dekdek]

Are there any frame disadvantages for pressing just down instead of down back to block lows? I was using down to block lows since Tekken 6!

[johnbikemaster]

For me, the MK defense in series are the best one in fighting games by his simplicity. But Tekken was very cool due to the variety of defensive options.

For so long i thought Ali kicks were guaranteed until I realised db was a thing

[rkade]

Tekken was my first ever fighting game, so I was wondering why I alwayze had difficulty remembering to have my neutral defense position be crouched in other games, it wasn't just me apparently, the game encouraged it.

Also wondering why I never just let auto-block do it's thing, thanks for the heads up.

You can teach the basic of back dashing, spamming back dash works faster now (or did they change it?)

[KalebAliii]

Bro thank you! I kept asking myself how tf was i getting punished when im on defense. And heres the answer. I came from street fighter so im still vulnerable to mid attacks in tekken. Sheesh lurning curve is crae
