Tekken legend, KOFTekken recently stopped by Super Arcade and gave me a quick lesson in movement. I thought I would share that with you guys. Big thanks to KOFTekken for the tips. He is truly a legend.

which ones KOFTekken?
KOFTekken is on the top left.
Hey Aris big thanks for the video. In Tag2 electrics are so scary it's not funny and random ducking from a distance is a risky approach.
one swift motion. how long has korea been doing this. 1999 technology finally revealed. either way, thank you for sharing.
Well since this is on the topic of movement and wavedashing, I found a video that shows some high level japanese players demonstrating their hand technique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqg9PoqTrwE
damn, he stopped by on his birthday?
Pure gold!!
Your best tutorial yet!
It's so obvious, but still we weren't able to figure it out ourselves. You duck the high's and at the same time input the first back and then backdash! Brilliant!!!
With skills like this, no wonder the Koreans are the best in the world.
Thanks for the tutorial Aris! Ive been wondering about KOFTekken's 1p wave dash technique ever since you tweeted about it. The man is truly a boss amongst legends. time to train.
This was great
Very impressive.
Since, as you said, the initial b to neutral leaves you in a position of vulnerability, ducking instead increases defensive coverage. Pure genius.
I hope I can find this video when Tag2 comes stateside. This feels like required viewing to any serious player.
I have to wonder what sort of hand strengthening exercises/techniques they use.
man this is what we have been looking for u r the man aris truly a savior for this game ive been in the lab lately and ive started a notebook of all the char i play and things i need to work on and certain low sweeps and movement and i really feel im going to get better but hand strengh i never thought of that .
@ Aris - Nice vid. Good good stuff. On the topic of this method of 1P wavedashing, I have a somewhat similar method that works well for me and has impressed a lot of people I have played with.
I hit the initial f with my palm/inner knuckles then:
curl d,d/f,f with just my middle finger, release, then hit f with my index finger and repeat
It works really well once you find that angle at which you can curl your middle finger just right to roll through d,d/f,f without having to hold it then whole time. Your middle finger should give it a good enough shove that you can release the stick at d/f and it still rolls to f before returning to neutral. And your index finger will be closer to the stick than your palm, so there's even less travel.
Give it a shot. It's all about finding that angle to curl your middle finger. I'm sure it sounds kind of weird so I'll try to post a vid I took of it soon.
Oh, and with my method, you never use anything besides your wrist and fingers. The rest of your arm can remain totally still after the initial f is pressed.
Very helpfull material indeed.
This should help scrubs and veterans alike
Excellent tips, thanks KOFTEKKEN and big thanks to Aris for sharing.
I've been doing the first part of this for years without thinking. (but I still suck)
I can see the advantages of the second, but it's very very awkward to do, feels very unnatural.
still good shit.
Very good tip there!
Can you wavedash with KING?
The ISW tip works FINE !!! Great stuff !
aris, this helps me out A LOT in the spacing department. it's something so simple and subtle, yet it's a very useful tool for defense (i'm referring to the first part of the video regarding the f,f,b,b thing) i've tried it out a little bit today, and i feel like my defense has gone up a few levels because of it. thanks for sharing man!!! i love these videos with technical stuff like this. keep them coming.
How is the initial b wasted? Maybe I'm missing something here, but in T6 I'm sure i can block after doing ff, b+N
The only time i can't block in Neutral is after bb or ss, sw.
