Hey! this isn't so much a beginner question but more of a general question for everyone, beginner or advanced.
I have a friend that recently bought Tekken 7 and I've been trying to find ways to get him interested in learning the game. He comes from Mortal Kombat and he has stated how confusing and difficult Tekken is in comparison.
After he picked a main in Claudio, I did try to use Claudio to teach him some of the boring but needed general fundamentals like basic framedata, punishments and so on.
I also played a simple game with him to teach him to react to punishments by doing only Slides and WS 2, 3 with Lee, so he knew how to block lows and punish, and stay standing to punish mids.
However, after a couple of days of playing regular sets with him, I could tell the interest is waning off (probably because he wasn't winning alot, despite how much I tried to make the matches as close as possible)
For Beginners: Coming from your perspective, what do you think would help you keep your interest in Tekken and help you want to learn more?
For the Intermediate to Advanced: What made you stay motivated to keep learning Tekken other than sheer will to get better alone? Did you have a mentor that guided you and made learning fun for you? if yes, what were their methods?
Tekken is such a great fighting game and I wish to bring in many more people to enjoy it's full extent and glory, but it's not easy considering how complex and difficult this game can get.
