You explained to me how combos should be better than most of the guides I found on YT

[JordansMortalKombatAdven-xnqo]

As someone who has finally settled on Queen Reina as his main I have to say once I understand the complete basics of Tekken this guide should really help me understand the combo system of Tekken to build my own combos and understand why combos work the way they do if I eventually decide to look up combo guides or whatever

Thank you for letting new players understand the foundation of the combo side of tekken it allows a basic understanding that can be applied to all characters 👍🏽

[Scuddi]

really useful information.
there aren't too many technical overviews of the mechanics out there right now so thank you.

Ive been looking for this video for so long. Nobody seems to want to explain it besides you. Thank you!

[El_Diablo-volr]

Fantastic video, I've been playing tekken for nearly 30 years now and I still learned new stuff! Thanks, gonna put it into practice!

[epicon]

This is so good to know, especially this early in T8’s life. Thank you 🎉

I’ll get into the mechanics of the game this time around because i got stuck playing braindead Tekken 7 without learning even the most essential basics, and i played it for 2000 hours like that

I've been looking for an in-depth breakdown of the new combo system, and this is just what I needed.
Good video dude

[thejuiceweasel]

Absolutely fantastic guide. I'm new to Tekken and this video has been by far the most helpful resource in understanding the whole combo structure.

[Grey-oo]

This is the best video I’ve seen about the combo system and heat!

[treehann]

Thanks for making such a great guide. In the first 10 minutes you answered a couple of my burning questions and there’s still lots left for me to explore here

THANK YOU, been trying to understand/figure this out since launch, a Feng combo guide would be greatly appreciated!

[PunishedHoss]

Great guide

Very well explained on a fundamental and universal level

I was shocked when moved from Street Figher 6 to Tekken 8 how many character specific guides there were, but how few Universal guides existed

You have fixed this <3

[Atomic-Punk]

This is the exact video I've been waiting for. I still needed a firm grasp on when and why to use the new heat mechanics in combo.

Thanks, man 👊🏼😎

[Cyberhunterx]

Thanks for this guide really trying to get into this game and give at chance

[SurferrDuddee]

This was incredibly informative. Thanks Super Akouma!

[krzysiekj]

this is one of those guides that you queue up when you think "alright, I'm getting quite good at this whole tekken thingy, lemme watch something interesting"
Then after you watch it, you are like "...aight, duck that..." and do not launch tekken for a week

Amazing content, stuff to watch multiple time to digest everything. Thank you, dude.

Salut Vincent ! 😊 Merci beaucoup pour ce guide, probablement le plus complet et le mieux expliqué sur la mécanique des combos de Tekken. Le scaling du wall notamment qui n'est pas si évident ! C'est toujours beaucoup plus gratifiant de saisir le concept par soi même et du coup de devenir actif dans la compréhension plutôt que de simplement copier des recettes de combos livrées "toutes cuites". Un grand merci à toi en tout cas ! 👍

@Super Akouma thanks man, this really helps, as I find myself as a new fighting game player let alone new Tekken player always just looking up BNB combos that are character specific for instance as Azucena who is who I am using as my main right now to learn the game, I know I can see people calling me a toxic player right now, I don’t give a crap as I find her hot as hell and really cool as far as her fighting style goes, and I want to understand the context behind creating combos for any character in the future I decide to pick up and not just Azucena.

Nice overview. As I don't see it mentioned. A little bit of niche info: I noticed that wall, floor and balcony breaks remove a good chunk of recoverable health, if not all of it. But Blasts and Bounces does not. Rage arts also remove recoverable health.
And when using heat moves to extend combos not only affect the damage scaling, but also the scaling on the recoverable health.
