For those learning Tekken with Tekken 7, working your way through a single character’s movelist can be hard going. With some characters having over 100 different moves, you may be training for a long time before you know which attacks are better than others. To help beginners out, Aris from Avoiding The Puddle has put together a super-helpful guide which runs through how you should use Tekken 7’s Training Mode, if you are just starting out.

Before you even glance at the movelist, the first thing you should do is head into the menu and change the training dummy’s second action to Guard All. By doing this, the dummy will block any attacks that aren’t part of a true combo. By doing this, you can quickly learn which of your character’s strings are combos and which aren’t.

Aris then goes onto explaining the uses of Korean Backdashing, which is a whole in-depth topic in itself. Rather than just using this movement tech for the sake of it, new players should just work on doing two Korean Backdashes in a row at first. Once you have the timing down, know the correct usage of the Korean Backdash in a match and can do it on both sides of the screen, then you can go chaining ten of them together just for the sake of it. Remember, baby steps to start. You’ll get there with practice.
