Nobi's Beginner Guide Videos For Tekken 7

Just before Nobi Gaisen 2 Cup took place, Nobi recorded and created a set of introductory Beginner's guide videos for people looking to pick up Tekken 7. It covers the basics of Tekken 7 as well as recommend simple combos that new players should use as they play and learn the game. It covers all the characters available in the current Tekken 7 version out in arcades to play and makes for a neat little resource if you want a place to start when picking up a new character. All these videos come from the Nobi's Beginner Guide OPENREC.tv page and should be available for everyone to see. I can't embed these videos onto this site so I'll link each character's video below as well as transcribe some notes from the videos.
