Ultimate Beginner Guide ~ Tekken 7

A complete look at all the mechanics (hopefully) in Tekken with each section broken down step by step for new players.
00:00 buttons & notation
00:56 basic movement
01:21 defence
02:36 attack properties
03:58 rage
04:34 generic stances
07:03 grounded
09:00 unique stances
09:58 throws
12:52 movement
14:23 frame data
16:02 punishment
17:14 crush system
18:18 combos
19:46 wall system

Start up frames are how long it takes to activate, i.e when I say 10f move in the video, that's the start up frame. Check out the block frames to see how negative (or plus?!) a move is. KND is shorthand for knock down. Some moves may appear to be really quick but they could be part of a string, as it lists the frame data of the LAST move in the string.

My tiny brain labelled X as 4 and Circle as 3; it's the other way around.

It gotta feel incredible rewarding and satisfying once you get good at this game. I’ve been a noob on tekken since 1996.

Now that Tekken 8 is coming out this guide is needed more than ever for newcomers like me

[Kaithe]

This might be the best begginer tutorial I've seen

[wajinshu]

The four button info about limbs didn't know that. Gonna watch this later. Thanks in advance

Hey man, I just wanted to thank you for this guide. I have a friend who is getting into the game, and I had been looking for hours, trying to find the right beginner's guide to show him, and this is absolutely the best one out there.

It's succinct, straight-forward, has easy to understand diagrams, the whole nine yards. You really knocked it out of the park, great job.

Me *who doesn’t even have tekken* : hmm yes very interesting. I shall remember this

[Pottzy]

This is a godsend for someone like me, who's just getting into Tekken now, so the depth of this guide is super helpful

[zaimox]

as a Street fighter and Kof player, I'm so confused about tekken, it is so technical but this guide is really useful, thank you

[noodleknight]

THIS is what ALL fighting games should have ingame if they want more people to get into them seriously.

A clear, straight to the point video explaining the game's mechanics and the game's important core concepts like what frame advantage is. It's interesting all the way through, easy to understand and easy to remember, doesn't waste any of your time, really want to make you watch all the way through.

It's much better than the tedious, interactive "Simon Says" tutorial modes you usually see in fighters, wasting your time with forcing you to slowly do the very basic button imputs as if these were things people couldn't figure out literally the first match they play, yet not even touching the bread and butter concepts of the fighting game, like frames or punishing.

this has to be the best beginner guide to any game I have ever seen. extremely well put together, great job and thanks!

I’m glad the internet exists because I watched a video called “why you should play fighting games and how” which made me want to learn how to play fighting games, I already played and liked fighting games before the video but I never actually knew how. So because of the video I started playing one of the fighting games I got recently but realized that the one I chose(Tekken 7) didn’t have a tutorial so I was at a loss. I found an article that said the story mode was supposed to be the tutorial and it kind of helped but you have to progress to learn more and I don’t really want to do that. So this video will help me when I attempt to learn Tekken 7 again( I also recently got the uncharted games so I’m playing those right now)

here to learn how to play kazuya in smash

[jacobpeden]

Wow, this was amazing. Just picked up the game yesterday and this is exactly what I needed. I will be watching again because there is a ton of info here. Thank you!

[pamoon_]

Even though I’ve been playing Tekken for 15 years, this was the most helpful video I’ve ever seen to really learn the game.

[iamkrishn]

The best guide video to Tekken. Although it has a lot of terms to digest for a beginner, but you can always practice, learn and keep coming back to this video for more insights.

[CrimsonMonarch]

This is the guide I needed, trying to understand Tekken before this was impossible. You have blown my mind and helped me start learning how to actually play this game instead of button mashing!

[business]

This is probably the best game guide ver made, not only for tekken but any game. Props to you sir.

[stephanexplosion]

Thanks so much for this. I hadn't played Tekken since 3 on PS1 and totally forgot the basics after playing mostly Street Fighter-inspired fighting games over the years. I didn't realize Rage Arts triggered on low health, and picked Kazuya as my first character in Practice Mode. It wasn't at all apparent how vast everyone's movesets were, cuz it looked like all of his required a Devil Transformation. It was just a daunting start for a game with no tutorial mode.

"You can break throws by pressing 1 or 2"
Well that's news to me. This whole time I've been trying to break throws by pressing 1+3 similar to Street Fighter.
