It's much better to try out the characters in practice (this includes looking at the move list), pick one you like to play, look for some combo guides online and go practice in the treasure mode.
And it's okay if you can't pull off the combos you see in guides. Understanding the launch & juggle mechanic is very important, but you can do just fine with a bit shorter combos too.
Once you get the basic mechanics covered against bots, try against real people. It will be a lot harder, but also the best way to learn. Play against different people, look at how they play, think of ways to counter it. Like if your opponent seems to attack all the time, move away from them and let them hit the air. And then attack them. Stuff like that.
And there's a lot of beginner guides. Consider looking at them too.
this channel is full of useful tutorials. i also recommend the GreenTekken youtube channel for match footage, if you are trying to figure out what characters you like or want to see how any particular character plays. don't be afraid to just do online matches, even if you lose a lot. good luck
definitely not at this stage, that would be overhelming as fck.
my recomendation would be to find character you like, then proceed by going to tekken zaibatsu (www.tekkenzaibatsu.com) and check the top 10 moves for your selected dude/dudette. those will be your main tools in any given fights and you need to discover how and when to use them, you wont need to remember full frame data just remember following:
which moves are fast (<13 frames startup) which are of medium speed (14 - 18 startup) and that anything slower is slow.
same goes for unsafe/safe - completly safe (-9 on block and less) somehow punishable (-10 - -13) and extremly punishable (-14 and further)
learn this for your 10 moves to start with and go fight people to reallly understand how to utilise the best your movelist have to offer. once you have that under your belt explore additionals.
I meant he should learn a bit about the basics what are these frames so he won't spam unsafe moves all day or at least he will know the risk. :D
saw this on discount had to buy :D
keep playing and you will get better
Learn to punish.
Learn to punish from lowblocking a move, learn to punish correctly when blocking a high or mid.
Its something people never mention when they tell you how to get better at this game, but the truth is that you will be abusable if you cant punish a low sweep correctly.
People struggle a lot against them in general at the beginning.
Treat it like just about any fighting game: don't overwhelm yourself. Pick one character, and stick with them, and preferably someone who is easier to use and can teach you the fundamentals of the game. There are quite a few guides and overviews that explain the playstyle of each character.
Then just fiddle around in practice mode to get a feel for the game and character. Don't worry about getting "good", just get comfortable and a little familiar with whatever the character has.
There are tons of videos helpful for beginners covering a lot of areas, and even that can be overwhelming, but cruise around. What I did was narrow it down a bit, like videos regarding common mistakes new players make, and character-specific tutorials that purposely don't focus on advanced executions (save those for later).
In my case, I'm learning Dragunov first, and by the time I watched my first in-depth beginner's guide to him, I was already familiar with some of his combo strings and other moves just by spending time in practice mode, and from there I saw his most useful tools, and when NOT to use them recklessly, and "the feel" of the character is just more fluid to me now, as opposed to that first session clunk. You really wanna build up that muscle memory.
And now the harshest lesson for ANY fighting game: be prepared to lose, and learn from your mistakes. Just don't let it discourage you; everyone starts at the bottom somewhere. This is how one learns, and the early stages when you're unfamiliar with how to deal with opponents is just how the game goes, and this is a warning to myself as well. But that persistence makes it feel so much more satisfying as you improve!
No other shortcut, the fastest way to learn is from immitating other people, like how to bait, whiff, trap your opponent. Also from overcoming your weaknesses, like slow reflex, monotonous fighting style, anxious when under pressure etc.
Your second mistake is relying on other people to point you to information you can easily find by yourself.
This might sound harsh but it is the truth. If you wanted to learn you would have identified reliable sources of information and started learning by now, i suspect what you are looking for is shortcuts or magic bullet advice that'll cut out the need for you to actually learn anything. I am afraid you are out of luck in this game.
