Steve Fox Ultimate Starter Guide - Tekken 8

Here we are with the Steve Fox Starter Guide! Steve is a very unique character in Tekken 8 that you can't really compare to anyone else, so the purpose of this video is to help you understand basically everything there is to know about him! From what he's good at, his whole whack of stances, a bunch of example combos and a bunch more to get you started on your Steve journey! Give the video a watch, like if ya liked it(timestamps for a video thats over an hour long? cmon, give a like!) and let me know what you think!

I don’t even play TEKKEN 8 but I still sit through these hour long videos because I love how Rooflemonger teaches how to play all these characters 😂 thank you bro

I'm not sure what the right way to buff LNH is; being able to cancel out of it by holding back might make it too safe. Having a faster grab option than canceling into backsway 1+2 would let you deal with power crushes but not Rage Arts.

The cancel into PKB is cool and useful, but it basically is an exploit behind a bit of a skill ceiling so it's not really intended and it may not be around forever.

Something to add; the backsway reposition grab is great when at the wall, as it can cause a wall hit that can lead into a short combo, specifically 1,1,2. You can then cancel this into another backsway into grab and repeat ad nauseum until they decide to duck/low attack or break the grab.

I was waiting for this guide, and it was worth the wait, excellent guide, I appreciate

The best players are putting Steve in the bottom 5

I think I found new tech.
You can actually do the 1+3 and 2+4 grab in peekaboo by pressing 3 then 1+3 or 2+4.
I don't know if ppl know this but is one frame link😮

Step 1, download a voice mod

Do you think we could get a lee guide next? That'd be awesome

Thank you Roofle!! Been waiting on this one for a while!

I Appreciate the guide man keep it up. For all the Steve mains out there or people who want to learn him keep your fists up! Once you get the idea and the flow of Steve he will be the most fun character youve ever played, promise ^^

I’m shinryu with Steve watching this cause I’m hard stuck I’m not going to lie playing Steve against these other hyper S tier characters is rough man

As a Voldo main and someone who loves stance characters and wishes to get better with Steve, I've have to say," Impressive, very nice."

Now all we need is Rooflemonger to convince Tekken Project to get Mike Tyson as a Tekken 8 guest character!!

There is no comprehensive Nina guides. Praying Roofle does Nina soon as I just want a solid guide vid to delve into for her

Hey all you Steve's: see you in the lounge!!!!!

I love these guides so much they are very helpful!

Guv gang rise up

You’re the man Roof. There’s thousands and thousands of folks like me that appreciate the work you put in and the knowledge/enthusiasm you have for these games. Keep doing what you do! I’m a counter hit addict, so I main Brian and Steve. This guide is tremendous.

Since my main since T2 Lei Wulong isn't here, I have picked up Steve. I'm enjoying using him, but there is alot to learn.

Can we get Hwoarang sometime in the future?👀

Naisuuu

Wonderful as I really wanted to try him out, with this guide it looks perfect for me! <3

Who is next on the line tho?

A good easy basic sumary for steve's gameplan, mid screen you want to land a counterhit, launcher and carry them to the wall or heat engager move (use qcf1 mid check or 1+2 sonic fang as wiff punish), because this way you gain acess to his mix ups, after landing heat engager you are +17, u can mix with foot stomp low or qcf1 and heat dash out of it (its a launcher +5 on block), at the wall foot stomp has no reach problem and qcf1 wall splats for full wall combo, if the try to armor out of lionheart after being hit by the low, you can sway (b3 or b4) and do 1+2 (throw), it breaks armor and parries and wall splats for a full combo, if they dont press anything and eat the throw geting wall splated u get 112 followup. you can also check all his many wall splating moves to commit to at wall.

Great video with a good breakdown! Just a quick note. You can make Wildman fully safe with a duck cancel after the d2, 1.
So you go d2, 1, duck (f3), db, b. You can slide the duck to db, b. With some timing practice you can get this 100% of the time and it makes this combo godly for mixups.

Been waiting for another one of these! Other than Paul (and maybe Kuma), I haven’t been interested so I’m happy to see a Steve guide! I’m still waiting for someone cool like Lili, Hwoarang, Jin, Devil Jin, or Yoshi.

Thank you so much for the Steve guide man! I'm finally getting into fightning games and Steve is my guy! I really appreciate the extra help and breakdowns!

Amazing guide, first tekken and picked up Steve, this guide really let me step up my game and discover how I wasn’t using Steve properly.

I think it may be physically impossible to hate this character

Steve is the only character I really play and man is it hard trying to understand the Tekken fundamentals with him when he plays so differently.

Your timing is perfect. I literally just started tekken and Steve caught my eyes so I picked him up. Being new to tekken it’s been very difficult because of how unique he is in general and i thought I doomed myself

Be wary of using ub + 3 to bait and evade Rage Art because it'll more often than not cancel the animation, lock you in place to eat that. Had it happen to many times. Great guide Rooflemonger!

Please do Azucena Next roof!

Time for me to lock my self in a room for 2 days and learn my favorite character 🤞🏾❤️ thank you for all you do

So awesome youa re doing these guides rooflemonger thank you! If you make more, i would love to see dragunov, bryan, and yoshimitsu! Cheers

Excellent guide brotha. First time Tekken player and have been wanting to co main Bryan and Steve...but have only been playing Bryan til now in anticipation of this video lol

Finally a steve guide

Lion Heart is better by a wall becuase the back sway grab beats Powercrush and you get free 112 for 30 damage

Any chance we'll get Leroy soon?

Thank you for blessing us with this guide papa!

Omg it's here!!!!!!

It's a shame I already know this matchup pretty well. I really respect Steve players, I can tell they're working hard. An amazing Steve player is a sight to behold. I might give him a go myself, I really love this character. I might do Mac cosplay (Nintendo Punch Out).

Its out!!!

OVA HEAH

I wanted to play him when I saw his trailer, but he didn’t end up gelling with me. Still gonna watch the whole thing to help beat him.

The three characters I wanted to try in this game were Kuma, Jack-8, and Steve. Now that Rooflemonger has done guides on them all (thank you for the quality education, sensei) I can stop having a character crisis over who looks coolest to character crisis over whose gameplan is most fun to do.

Honestly I have no plans on playing this guy but had to click on the vid to like it. Your character guides and dedication to the FGC in general is absolutely next level.

LET'S GOOOOO

You should do a lee guide next
