One of the hardest fighting titles to master, in modern video gaming, has and always will be the Tekken franchise. Blending heart-racing music and an international roster of fighters that covers multiple fighting styles mean that the learning curve to be a competent player can be daunting, to say the least.
To try to tackle the mechanics of the franchise typically involves understanding the fundamentals of fighting games, which can take some time. However, once that is mastered, it's just a matter of the player putting some time aside to couple that knowledge with the playstyle in Tekken, but where can anyone find the time?
Well, Red Bull Gaming's Youtube channel may have the answer for just such a question. For six weeks, new players have the awesome opportunity to watch an in-depth how-to series on the mechanics of Tekken and fighting games so that anyone can take on the likes of Jin Kazama and Heihachi. The best part? Each episode is hosted by award-winning Tekken player Hoa "Anakin" Luu!
As of now, the first two episodes are out and cover the fundamentals of how to play and what the game's mechanics are like. It's the best time to start watching, so make sure to check out the videos below and share your thoughts in the usual spot!
