I'm PhiDX, I play Tekken professionally for @ParagonFGC and ArcadeShock. - Hry
This is a brain + hands warmup, not a Law punish guide
It is easy to forget to breath
@@kngwaffler2666for real, there have been times when my chick comes in the room and tells
Me To breath.
Hey PhiDX, awesome tutorial, thank you very much! Do you switch up characters to warm up with from time to time?
If yes, what do you look for in moves? Is it always formulaic like:
1. Small punish
2. Low parry string
3. Duck string
4. Launch punish
5. Mixup
or would you recommend looking a bit more towards key moves of a character?
@@RnDKeavthis is my fixed warmup. Other characters I use for specific defense training
Idk if you have the time but would love to see a tutorial for all characters that list what you suggested ie their best pokes, recommended non wall combo, wall combo, floor combo, and perhaps oki set up combo, and character specific shenanigans. Fyi does anyone have a clue what the pc benchmark score means? I’ve looked online and other people are just as confused people getting scores from 75 to 1497 and there doesn’t seem to be a rhyme or reason as some builds that you would think are more powerful get like 419 to 570 i have no idea what it means or what the optimal settings are for online play ie reducing lag, crisp frame rate, etc.
Not sure about you guys but i see a lot of jumps in t8 and pretty certain the lag or frames of delay are taking side step inputs and making them jumps. Just the online seems wonky sometimes even on good connections.
Idk im hoping the game has more of a community feel at some point Being they took away infinite rematch its less enjoyable i dont care about points or rank sometimes you just want another match and so does your opponent.
The lobby system to me is useless and clunky and its more of a shell to sell things in game not make the online better
My favorite quote I’ve heard that I keep in mind: “slow is smooth, smooth is fast” it helps me with everything but applies here.
It's something most musicians learn. It's all about minimizing mistakes and creating consistency. Play it fast and inconsistent and your performance will have lots of repeated holes and you'll waste your time repeating bad inputs without thinking. This is easily how bad habits are created. Play it slow and your mind learns to do every single input correctly. ONLY THEN you can slowly increase speed.
Stealing this!
@@PhiDXyou thief!
Hey I heard this on Aris' stream a while back! Lol
This is a line from a show called Perepheral on Amazon.
“it’s easy to forget to breathe”
some martial arts dojo advice
Facts 🥋
"Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? do you think that's air you are breathing now?" :Morpheus
🤣
I feel like I am holding back forever and then the moment the game registers I press anything else my character explodes
I’ve been competing I tournaments since Tag and this is true for me too. Tekken 8 is broken.
I am also hardstuck yellow rank, so careful agreeing with me too hard
Y'all need to git gud please
@@al8704yeah I was hoping for advice, not like, everyone to agree
Can always try checking the replay, though sometimes you're always the unlucky 2nd one to press a button.
This is probably the most substantive,beneficial Tekken channel. No disrespect to other channels but all I hear mostly from it is whining and complaining.

@@DeviIsAdvocateU doing it more than anyone.
@@sstanford1331 huh ?
Thanks! We appreciate the devotion to helping new Tekken players be aware of the myriad of things in this game.
Thank you for the generosity!
Having chat feed the line at the end was so funny and lowkey heartwarming 😂 At first I was confused and thought it was just some trolls spamming to have their messages seen... but then the pay off came. Awesome stuff from you and your community, Phi! Always a pleasure learning ❤
This is an awesome video PhiDX. I already warm up before getting into ranked, but have done so by usually labbing for a bit then doing some super ghost battles. I am definitely going to implement this SK Law drill into my warm ups now. Keep up the good work amigo!
I'm just pulling upo to tell you thank you so much for presenting this to me and also thank you to speedkicks. I've gone from thinking myself a fraud and carried once i got into fujin getting rocked by everything. now I've made Kishin Nina's and Laws One and done because im low parrying every last one of their reactable lows. still fujin but I have gained so much from this guide and mixed with your whiff punishing drills and throw break drills ive gained an air of confidence in this game despite only playing 1 month. I know its hard to stay positive but i truly appreciate your content and wish you the best
Thank you for the positivity!
Hey Phi!!! Thank you so much for these videos! I have so many notes. You have been an awesome resource for getting better.
such good content mate! I'm an old school Tekken player with legacy skills from Tekken 2 onwards and all this practice mode stuff is new to me with recordings etc. I started with Tekken in the 8th edition again, so this is very helpful.
I love these trainig sessions! THX PhiDX!
phi never fails to show us his meaty warmup
You know ive been waiting for this vid! Ever since ive seen Lillypichu do these warmups on her streams, I was hoping you'd put out a full vid about it. Did not get disappointed! I love your content, Phi!
This has definitely helped me! I've always wanted to know how to warm up properly. Usually, I jump into practice mode, run through some combos, and then play arcade mode against the computer on ultra hard to work on my reactions. But I've been wanting a better way to prepare for going online or facing off against my friends. So, thank you for this! 0:46
Awesome video. All your guides are so helpful! Really appreciate 🤩 thanks so much for your work
Good vid brother 😊 looking forward to your success as the game ages and tourneys start.
Love the knowledge you share in this game!
Great video and format. Even though I’m not a new player I kinda felt like my training in T8 has been blah lately so I appreciate these drills.
I really like the way you provide the information (My note is always beside me when I watch your videos) … honestly speaking you’re one of the best Trekken Content Creators ❤
Love your stuff, always excited for your content. Came from Tekken7, adjusting to T8 was hell, getting stomped by newcomers, though I was around Purple-Blue Rank players in T7. You are doing the Lord's work here for us Tekken players, me and my former blue friends have been saved by your content. Now I know to approach the game like a newcomer myself. Keep it up Sir Phi. (~Insert bow here)
Watched here and there from T7 but been watching you hella now that im getting into T8. Appreciate all of your content and hoping for bigger things in the future
Love your content, man! I‘ve been playing Tekken for a hot minute and tried going competitive since Tekken 7. Found myself plateauing at a point (I‘m Garyu in Tekken 8) and started doing some research on what I have to learn. Got a fighting stick now and learning everything I can from ground up and you‘ve helped a lot - thank you.
I feel like this is the same for me, been playing T7 most of the time but was stuck in orange rank, after going into T8 with roughly 120 hours in i‘m at Fujin, wich is gatekeeping pretty hard. What i want to say is keep going at it and watch from other pro‘s and you‘ll get there in no time ✌🏻
@@scarletrain7114 nice, congrats for reaching Fujin and thanks man!
You dropped this on the perfect day since the servers will be down for the Eddy patch. Running these drills tonight!
You’re a legend for making these guides. As a newcomer you’re making my Tekken experience 10x more enjoyable. Keep it up man.
Thanks for another incredibly helpful video, Phi!
You have one of the best Outros I’ve ever seen 🔥
Really appreciate all these well-explained videos😊
M8, as a newbie, this is perfect. Thank you from dropping this vid. Gonna do this for multiple characters to learn character punishment as well. Cheers!
Thanks for all your work 😊
Thank you so much for having such skills in teaching this great game. I have been a Tekken fan since the 90s, but I've never played it to the full potential as I'm beginning to play it with Tekken 8. With that said, I notice that I have a bad habit of not focusing my sight and brain on where I should to have quick reactions to grabs, low hit, and more. I wonder if others have the same issue as me.
Not commenting a lot (bad habit, I know), but I needed to send a shoutout for the work you do. Been watching you since T7, it is great to see you blossom on T8! Keep it up, it is amazing.
Thank you. I love this. Advice like this reminds me of the old black & white pages in the Versus Books/Gamest Mooks from back in the 90s.
I've been enjoying watching your videos Phi! I've been a Tekken casual since I got Tekken 3 for xmas as a kid 🤣and have only just started trying to break my mashy habits at the end of 7 cause I only really played if mates came over 🤣I've been learning a lot, thank you for all the info and advice you put out 😁
Just got this channel in my recommends today, been binging for a bit now. So much fantastic info here.
Maaan,love your vidéos !
No matter the subject there is always something to grasp.
Keep the good work…
this drill helped me a lot! I feel like you hit all the points where im struggling with. hopefully ill be able to climb out of assailant lol
Good video! Can’t wait to try it!
Mad useful as always. Thanks for the free knowledge, Phi.
This is by far the most helpful tekken 8 tutorial I’ve seen so far, thank you for all your hard work, we noobs appreciate it!
Appreciate you Phi, you’re a gem to the community
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to your videos Phi, for real. I hope you get more and more followers. :D
Love your vids, i feel like you keep a really positive mindset it makes me feel better after reading the cesspool that is twitter
Phi with the goated vids as always
Mane @phidx I do appreciate the content you put out and hope we can match some day cuz not only this video resonated with me but as I was in the shower brainstorming over how to efficiently warm up before going to play offline, the structure you put out, even down to the SK Law drill is the pretty much the same method I came up with on top of a few personal changes to the SK Law drill! This is gonna be so fun, see yall at the top!
@PhiDX
Awesome drill, will incorporate!
You're the best out here helping us players who are new to the series. ❤
Good shit, dude, thanks! I've been hopping into the Group Matches in the Lounge to warmup ahead of Ranked and force myself to work on these areas dynamically. Having this system helps a lot and I'll try it out. It'd be really helpful if the game allows you to save menu setups like this as a template so you can just load it and hop in - not unlike in The Matrix.
I low key started doing something similar to this training weeks ago. I’d randomly pick a character, go into practice set couple moves to the list and try my best to read them. I’d rinse and repeat for about an hour and a half. But this is more in depth. Thank you for all the amazing tips/content.
Anyone on PlayStation want to be friendly rivals, let me know. I could use the practice 😊
Great video thank for the practice tips
holy Hell a tough drill - really love this one!! it forces you to react properly when done right
Good day, Phi! First and foremost, I love your T8 contents. Keep up the good work! Secondly, I took a photo with you back at TWT in New Orleans, and it’s a real honor in meeting you! 🙂
Lastly, have you considered doing personal T8 training, like Metafy? I think you be a great coach!
Thanks for all that you do for the Tekken community! 🙂
Tbis video was very helpful for me to increase my reaction speeds, thanks!
This video really helped me in getting better with defense and mentally preparing myself for ranked, but I would like to give some tips that gave me a boost to keep myself on my toes
Ofc watch the entire video with all the warmups. KBD training, sidestep training, combo memory and then the meat and potatoes.
When you get to do the Law training try this:
Level 1: B1,2,2 and uf1,3
Level 2: 4,3 ~ f2 (This is where I'm currently at)
Level 4: Flipkick
Level 5: hopkick
Personally what I do is every single time I get hit, I fuzzy the b1,2,2 string or I low block the blackout mugin I restart. Like I press the touch pad and x
So when I get correct in a row I just kept going, this helped me not zone out soo much and try to anticipate the moves. I do it on both sides as well
Overtime I became more and more strict on myself so u might now have to be strict to yourself right away.
Hope this helps those looking for concentration and zoning out solutions
Man your guides are amazing! Clean structure, good drills and good info but not too much so very digestible. Your content is really great man, glad I found you! Happy subscriber
I love this channel so much...so thorough and easy to digest
PhiDX: pours wholesome instructional videos on the regular, even while sick
Also PhiDX: "if you ain't gud enough, git gud enough scrub"
Insightful as always. 🙏
Wtf, u deserve more subs, this is some crazy stuff
true, the warm up is so much important on tour
Tekken 8 is the Tekken game I'm definitely getting into and all of your content is helping build my confidence so I can boot up Ranked or go to a local without feeling so stressed. Thanks so much Phi!
Thanks. I've been stuck in red ranks for almost a month. I'm going to claw my way out soon thanks to you.
Pretty poggers warm up guide! Will be including different WS moves when i practice this aswell, considering it can be hard to see which ones are -13 or not, which is pretty important for a kazuya main lol.
Thank you PhiDX. You’re the best
Hey @PhiDX, thanks so much for your content and your beginner-friendly delivery. Even though I don't believe I'll ever be able to (other than randomly) break throws in an actual match, I highly appreciate the drills you show here. :D
I currently play Leroy, and there are a couple of moves, where I wonder what the specific use-cases for them are (if any?) outside of using them in combos when possible, like d1+2 / u2 / db1+2 / qcf2 and a couple more.
I thought it might be interesting if you could talk a bit about how you can find out in the lab what the possible/ideal use cases for some moves of your characters are or if they are mb just niche scenario moves or if they're basically trash and not that useful. Because I believe frame data is one way to look at moves, but I feel like I'm still missing something and simply going by frame advantage or obvious properties like launcher, wall/floor-break etc. isn't everything, but maybe I got it wrong.
Man these drills are way more helpful than I could even imagine. I was wondering why over the past week I was wildly inconsistent. The first couple days I was playing god level on red ranks and towards the second half of the week I was very mediocre and slow on punishment on everything. Turns out it's because I was doing the drills for the first few days, but not after.
TLDR;
I play like twice as good on the days I do drills versus the days I don't. So it's time to start doing this every day!
@phidx I have become a fast fan of yours. I picked up Tekken 8 to play with a good friend and your content has been invaluable. Thanks for the good work.
Great video👌! Been watching all your guides but I usually can't find the will to actually go into practice mode and train. The "SK Law Drill" actually made me go try it for real. Would love videos with more drills for stringy characters I struggle with like Hwo, Victor or Leo!
(Please don't make our vs our King strings )
Man, every time I think I'm making progress and leveling rank, I get my shit destroyed. Trying to stop myself from bad habits like whiffing and making the same strings, your channel helps out a lot!
Quickly becoming my favorite Tekken content creator.
Great content Phi!!!
You're awesome brother, I'm gonna learn your ways sensei
Actually trying to get decent at this game now after getting super into it in 7 and your videos have helped me a lot i feel so thank you very much
you can also just tap forward (f, n) to safely approach into neutral block
you can end your dash with it as well (f, f, d/F, f, n or f, f, b, f, n)
Finally a video that can help me go from Tekken King to God Of Destruction (I actually haven't watched the video at all)
Thanks for this!
Phi teaching us the ways!! 🙏
thank you so much seriously!
I usually do movement and combo warm ups, this vid is a lvl up for our gameplan, it all comesback to the basics 🔥🔥🔥
And I highly encourage to do these warmups starting on your non dominate side ie if you always chose left when playing online, warmup from the right side then go left vice versa cause you never know when you go to an offlline tournament and youre playing on your nonperfered side so this can help reduce the anxiety associated with that lol
keep up the godlike work👍
I've been doing drills like these since T7 with all characters ever since I realized I need to learn how to punish stuff and to punish things properly knowing what you have to do and what's punishable is NOT ENOUGH. Glad to see that I train like a pro even though I'm far from one XD
Some of my favorites:
Jun df4, 1+2, df 3+4,4, df3+4, 1+2, f2, f2,1+2( the concept with f2 is to fo for launch as soon as you block it and if they do the 2nd hit it jails so then you take your turn to go for a mid-low mixup since she's safe but -9 I believe)
Kazuya: 1,2,4,3 (low parry the 2nd hit), df2, df1,2, df1,d2 (fuzzy duck, block the 2nd hit if he goes mid avoid and go for small punish if he goes high), d1+2 (try to react)
You can make all sorts of these. If I have the CPU do something that's launch I do the combo from wherever I happen to be and try to get the highest damage possible. Also, once I get comfortable, I try kbd, dash blocking and ss block (even other movement options like crouch-dash block, wavedash block etc if the character has access to these) while the CPU does the recorded moves to train myself to focus on reacting and punishing even while trying to move.
A little warning though from personal experience. Set a timer to a) not get carried away and end up spending hours in practice mode (unless that's your goal) b) not spend too much time drilling cause there have been times I warmed up too much and then I was tired and played like crap once I started playing matches XD
I've been doing these sorts of exercises to keep my brain more sharp especially for my age and I'm almost at a point where I just prefer practice mode than online ranked sessions. It may seem repetitive and boring, but believe me it's worth it and will pay off in the long term.
Do both. Get online. Watch replay then practice. Theres a big difference if ur fighting real people
@@monocyte2210 No dispute about that for sure, putting the practice in action is equally as important, agreed (I just don't overindulge in online sets, just a moderate amount unless I need specific matchup exp).
How old are you if you don't mind me asking? I fear my age catching up to me, handicapping me in faster paced competitive games. I constantly feel like I'm on a clock, pressured to get as much out of Tekken while I can
@@shutupanddoasitellyou 32 - I would say just continue to invest a bit of time on repetitive recognition/exercise to help keep your mind sharp. For some people, not playing after a certain period of time, you can feel a gradual skill erosion.
Very helpful thanks
Good to know, as a Bryan main I only did Taunt Jet Upper and Ki charge drills
Amazing stuff man, I'm wanting to reach God of Destruction and I'm feeling that it's achievable with the use of your guides :D
This has helped so much! I noticed that I can tap DF after blocking 1 but quickly block standing if wrong. Feels like a fuzzy block/parry?? I felt like I was having some things all click and come together. On another note, I also added his snake edge into the mix just because we all need to prepare for that here and there. Sometimes the slowest stuff in the midst of everything quick can throw you off so I felt it wouldn't hurt to add in!
Yes, don't do the fuzzy! It is a brain and hands warmup
Ive been watching every video religiously after first seeing you with lily
ive been playing for 20 years and im kishin now and i think youre videos have been helpful in teaching me HOW to get better
ty man
Good job!
As a scrub with aspirations to be less scrubby, I do find a solid 30 mins of practice really helps me out. When I do practice, I always do throw break training to get my eyes to focus on the opponent's arms as well as punishment training. I like to wrap up with doing combo drills so they're fresh in my head and then run 2 or 3 Quick Matches. If the QMs go really bad, I go back to the lab and work on what I messed up on before heading into Ranked.
Nice! A whole 30 mins is something. As a fellow scrub, I think I should take warm ups more seriously ! I particularly suck at throw break. Have you seen any improvement by now? Keep it up my friend, I'm sure you're not scrubby at all
@@Cherilyn_45 yeah I actually break a handful of throws now as opposed to getting thrown the entire match lol. Overall, I do feel more reactive when I see the hands come out which at least gives me a chance.
I actually needed this. Usually I'm just clueless what to do for warm up and just queue for ranked immediately and let playing the game warm me up. Thank you Phi.
Thanks, Mr PhiDX 😄
Hell yea... A training regiment guide. Any sidestep training for when to properly sidestep. I always try to sidestep/sidewalk but i always get clipped
I really appreciate your drill practice video. And if you can do drills practice not only for Law but all the top 10 usage characters. That will be great! Thank you so much
Outstanding! Train, get better, and ENJOY the nuance of the game at higher levels.
Thanks, i was looking At fixing my punishment game, but this is a generall help for all of The gameplan
appreciate the drills
Very interesting video and very helpfull. I am from Madagascar an emerging tekken community so i am so grateful to you for this video. If you could make another video with another character drill, it will be also very helpfull
love you work
It would be sick if we could get a drill like this for every character. Like a pdf page or yt vid, it could be anything honestly. Having something like this for every character is dope
