Tips on playing Tekken (For Newbs)

Tekken is very popular right now and lots of newbies are currently trying to fit in. Most of them though quits early because Pro's bash them to the ground leaving them looking stupid because they waited so long to be able to play. So how can newbies play on par with these Pros? Here are 5 tips for the Newbies.

1. Choose a character based on how you fight
-If you mash buttons(keep on clicking) choose characters that can be button mashed effectively like Julia and Eddy. Take note though that button mashing will never turn you into a pro and can break a game machine. So it's better if you train pressing buttons on timing rather than mashing.

-If you're good at timings become a combo artist. Choose a character that have tons of up,mid,down combos and/or aerial combos and learn their combos to heart. Characters like this are Baek and Asuka.

-If you're good at defending choose a hard hitter character. Choose characters that can send enemies flying away and deals decent or large amount of damages in just one shot. Characters like this are Jack and Feng.

-If you're good at timing attacks and defending but can't really connect combos try choosing grapple type characters like King and learn their grapples.

2. Jabs and Weak fast attacks are the best weapons against pros.
-Jabs and Fast Weeak attacks can cut combos easily (unless your in the air)


3. The best offense in tekken is well.... offense
-Defending will definitely kill you. Keep on attacking, chain weak attacks and don't force strong attacks in your combos if it will delay your characters movements for a second.

4. Random button mashing can beat pros
-Yeah no one can possibly guard against attacks that are incredibly random -That's why the Martial Art Drunken Style is considered the only style than can possibly beat all martial arts-. But it won't turn make you good either.

5. Buy a PSP and train
-That's probably the best way there is to beat those Pro's =D hehe
