Different Types of Kicks in Tekken 8

ORIGINAL POST

What are all the names for all the different kinds of launchers?

By types I mean normal launchers, launchers that launch the opponent very high up, launchers that look like bounds, launchers that look like Gigas's f2,f1, etc.

Also, do we have names for all the launcher types in T8 yet?

Not that there's a list I'm taking these from, but you've got some different ones in T7 and I imagine they are the same in T8.

Class 1 launchers: Launching your opponent very high into a very damaging combo
Normal hit launchers: Full combo
CH launchers: Full combo on CH
- Crumple stun: A specific animation on certain CH moves when they CH. Usually more damaging
Instant screw or now instant tornado in T8: Since it starts with a tornado it's shorter and does less dmg
Low parry: Full combo structure but different scaling so it does quite little dmg. This one is changed in T8, I believe
Double-over stun and nosebleed can both be escaped but have specific animations.

This covers most of them but I want to add:

Stumble launch - CH as seen in Jin's f4 and a kick Marduk has where they lose their footing and stumble backward

Knockout launch - what you see with Gigas f2,f1 or Fahk's Jet Kick where their knees give out after a head-hit

Pancake flip - Paul's ff2,2 and Bryan QCB4 send the opponent upside down ending in a face down, head towards position unless caught

Bound - Lars fb2,1 and bear G-clef CH, Raven flying knee

Whiplash - King CH b1, Kaz CH4, Dragunov QCF1 makes the opponent's head whip back then they crumple backwards

Tiptoe launch - A hit that forces the opponent onto their tiptoes, meaning that the hit to follow will actually launch but the first hit alone won't do it (though the first hit does guarantee it and in the case of the crosschop the guarantee is when the chop itself is blocked rather than hitting). E.g Kazuma f3f2 Lili m4,1 crosschop 1

Shin smash: Mini-combo CH that blows the opponent back by their feet. Gigas db2, King CH db4, Lee Hitman 4

Beyblade/ fidget spinner: Most well known as Claudio's starburst-empowered f1+2,1+2, Lee's RD has the same utility where in each case the spin is effectively a second screw state within one combo

Broken ankle: King's fifth ali kick is a launch that guarantees a FCdf2

Organ failure: a jolt to the body makes the opponent collapse. Lars' Arc Blast and Asuka's 1+2, Jack ff1+2

Bounce: Gigas d2, Bryan CH b1, Drag CH wr2, Ganryu (2,1)2

Wet floor: CH Hatchet Kick, Jin Hellsweep - launches the opponent by sweeping out their feet leaving them face up head towards

Sudden impact: Paul bf2, Jack f2 CH Ganryu b1+2 CH, Feng talk to the hand - A jolting knockdown that allows for a big single hit follow up

Arm trip: Gigas FCdf2, Anna FCdf2, Ganryu SIT 2 - chops the legs out from under them

Propeller: snake edge, Gigas FCdf2 CH, Paul FCdf1+2 - causes the opponent to violently spin sideways

Pratfall: falls forward following a low - Lee d3 CH into Hitman can pick up, Law's banana peel CH but he doesn't get a combo

Butt trip: Asuka FCdf2CH - an ankle pick that trips them over but unlike a butt stun from a blocked heavy blow this one does damage and guarantees followup combo

Wall bounce: a special long knockback with a screen shudder effect that will bounce an opponent off the wall. Every character has one

Blast: Paul's RD, Noctis RD, Ganryu unblockable - knocks the opponent away a huge distance for a wall combo

That's all I can think of. It's important to take note because in several cases a specific type of filler/ pickup is needed where the normal combo route wouldn't work.

Most of them don't hae a name because there is no actual mechnical difference between them.

The only division are launchers which use up tornado (low parry, low launchers, normal launchers and super launchers which launch especially high.

Notes on kicking.

Posted by HecticBlue · in r/HalfSword · 7 months ago

Hey all just wanted to share a couple things I noticed about kicking mechanics.

First, most folks think you always kick with your rear leg. Actually this is only true if your not actively moving your arms. If your arms are moving to one side, you'll kick with that sides leg. You'll also change stance, but you can kick before the stance change finishes, causing a lead leg kick.

Also, if you look downward, you stomp-kick, and do so with your lead leg instead of your rear leg.

If you kick with your arms up and to one side, while holding shift, you will do a rear leg oblique kick, instead of a regular front kick.

Finally, you don't need to do a 360 to make the spin kick work. You can do just a slight turn, like 45 degrees, and you'll do an outside crescent kick, which seems to do the same or similar damage to the full 360° spinning heel kick we all know and love.

That's it, just some neat things I figured out a a few minutes ago fooling around. Cheers everyone! Go kick some Willie ass!

That's why it is so fun and rewarding tekken is the dark souls of fighting games.

-7 upvotes on reddit

LazyWings · 2 years ago

Dark souls is built very specifically to teach people how to play the game. Tekken is not. Dark souls starts out by telling you the buttons. Then you slowly encounter enemies and challenges. You die, you learn something. Then you encounter a situation that makes you apply what you learned in a combined or more difficult situation. This is one of the reasons why so many dark souls clones are bad - they seem to think dark souls is hard for the sake of hard. Stats are the only thing in dark souls that's actually really obtuse, and I don't think that would even be a bad thing to change.

Tekken meanwhile has no such structure. You need to speak to people to learn. There are a couple of basic prompts telling you about how highs/mids/lows work, low parties etc. But there's nothing to tell you that you can't parry elbows knees and weapons. I guess you can figure that out until you realise Leroy can. There are moves you could play your whole life and not know exist such as JFSR and Omen. These aren't even joke Easter eggs, these are useful moves. The command list also doesn't explain how some inputs work, like what does "~" mean? What does "press immediately" mean?

5 upvotes on reddit

EBBBBBBBBBBBB · 2 years ago

Every Fromsoft soulslike has a comprehensive tutorial to teach you the game's mechanics, and the stats of weapons and armor are upfront from the beginning. Neither hold your hand, but at the very least Fromsoft gives you all the information you'd need to improve your ability. Tekken forces you to look at wikis for bare minimum information about what moves are useful for what situations, when other fighting games just straight up tell you. I don't really see the comparison.

She's a fighter, she has a cool dress sense for a female, she's hot, she's respectable and positive and she'll likely use her op dolphin like moves, limits AND use some magic I imagine if she was in, so what's not to like exactly, she's a perfect fit.

The "Golden Kick" is faster, doesn't telegraph and his hard to read, evades the block, provides much more control throughout its arc (can respond better to a sudden check), can readily change target levels, speed or power, is easier to recover from in terms of defense, and maybe most importantly leaves you more in position to continue your attack in a more balanced way which is key in the Golden Age principle of fighting...that you always want to "continue" (doh), but not in a fixed combination way.

If you haven't been raised in the kick it may generate less power, but Thais have developed extraordinary hidden power that they have been able to generate without much "overturn" of the hip. It adheres closer to economy of movement and "strike from within your frame" principles which are often essential to generating both speed and power in strikes (including in boxing).

added benefit: much easier to be able to spar without shinguards, which probably was a meaningful reason why Thai fighters in the Golden Age were the best kicking fighters in documented history.

What makes it easier to spar without shinguards? The ability to respond to a check?

5 upvotes on reddit

kevin_v · 3 months ago

Golden Age Muay Maat fighter Takrowlek Dejrat teaches how to spar with it in the MTL session we filmed, spending a fair amount of time on it. It's 90 minutes of goodness and one of the best practical sessions we've filmed. But, if not a patron of the Library there are a few related reasons why it is made for sparring gearless. The first is that you just have far more control over your power and accuracy, because you don't commit to the power until the end, or the peak of the strike. So it is very easy to throw with very light power. There's no huge weight transfer, or big hip overturn, especially on the initial trajectory. This means also that if a check comes up you can let your kick die by relaxing or redirect it easily. (There are a few reasons why Thais don't break their shins historically on checks in fights, this is probably one of them.) The other related reason is that because you are kicking straight up you can spar with only the first trajectory of the kick and "land" only with the inside of your calf muscle. The nature of the Golden Kick is to rise up and then near the peak accelerate and turn the kick over with whipping action, depending on how much power you want. You can instead very lightly land with the inside of your calf, just like you can land with the inside of your thigh in clinch, simulating a knee. Kicking like this (and this is what Takrowlek shows) doesn't actually distort your kick motion, it's just the first part of the action. You aren't "pulling" the kick after a commitment (which does distort your kicking motion), you are just rising up and tagging. I strongly believe that a lot of this light impact, shin guard-less sparring is what gave Golden Age Thais so much kick control and sensitivity, without really sacrificing the upper ends of power.

I hear ya bro, 'stay connected to the power source' and that kind of thing,

I heard a guy quoting straight science the other day, and that seemed to make great sense too,

I know that it's a gray area, and I saw some other guides or posts referring to them as stances while some others didn't.

hb20007 · OP · 1 year ago

I followed these assumptions to decide what is and isn't a stance:

Stances that have only one possible move while in the stance were not considered as separate stances.
Attacks, even ones with multiple possible follow-ups, were generally not considered to be stances.
Back towards enemy was considered to be a stance for characters who have multiple moves out of it.
Crouch dash was considered to be a stance for characters who have multiple moves out of it.
Different or transformed forms of a character were considered to be stances, except for heat and rage as they apply to all characters.
Full Crouch and Side Step were not considered to be stances since all characters can enter these states and a lot of them have multiple moves out of them.
While down (playing dead) was not considered a stance for characters that can deliberately transition into it.
A stance needs to have some unique character movement animation associated with it.
A state which does not give access to new moves but modifies the properties of more than 1 existing move can be a stance, depending on how much it modifies them.

I think it can help achieve a certain style. If you like lower “more realistic” flips etc then medium or low kicks can help or be more friendly with that.

What are your thoughts on “special style” in Tekken 8?

Posted by SockraTreez · in r/Tekken · 1 year ago

I’m personally begrudgingly fine with it because I’ve had enough experience with Tekken to know that being able to execute moves/combos isn’t what makes a player good.

As a matter of fact I’d say that most players as low as mid green ranks know most of the move list and how to do basic combos.

That being said, I don’t particularly “like” the idea of “ez mode” combos in a fighting game. Of course, I’m also one that doesn’t like all of the comeback mechanics/etc that have been introduced.

I think the effect will be similar to what we saw in Street Fighter 6: There will be little to no impact in intermediate to high level play BUT will be a pretty significant advantage at low level play.

I bet the really low ranked players in teal now will become a new breed green rank players….

It's really a non issue and most players who try to get by online with it will want to drop it fast bc it makes you insanely predictable. You always know what's gonna come out when they're using it after a match or two.

From what I saw in the beta the special style is honestly really bad. I wouldn't worry about facing people using it even at low rank because all it does is limit them to like three options that aren't even good. It might be good for toddlers but anyone over the age of 7 should be able to deal with it easily

I really dislike how it can be toggled with a single button press mid-fight. I used to fight stick and I keep accidentally hitting l1 and not knowing why my moves aren't working.

I wish it were handled like the control methods in sf6

I ran into a few as well.

All of them were kind of frantically pressing the options at odd, random moments throughout the match.

It was pretty funny honestly

It won't bother me since it seems even less viable than Modern in SF6 or simple inputs in GBVSR and the other two don't bother me either

We already had it in T7, kinda, with auto combo. It helps people have fun with the game, and anyone half decent in online won’t worry about it. It’s fine.

What auto combo? Katarina and Noctis had "mash button for babby combo" but that wasn't universal. Story Assist didn't work in ranked.

Katarina definitely has her own sort of “auto combo” lol

I rarely fight good Katarinas but one time I got beat down by one and decided to check out her moves in the lab.

I was absolutely disgusted

they added combo assist as an option outside of story mode in like mid-2018.
