Please check out the time stamps! I know there's a lot of information, but Tekken isn't as intimidating to learn as you may think!

Tekken 8 is out and lots of people are enjoying the game. However, I understand not many players have a solid Tekken background, maybe even coming from playing 2D games exclusively until now.

I share my approach to finding the most useful moves from a character's movelist, using Practice mode settings to identify frames and properties, as well as a few tactics to add your fight plan.

Watch me attempt to teach my friends and myself how to play Tekken properly:
