About Lieutenant John
I started playing Tekken Tag Tournament 1 as a kid back in 2001 and began taking Tekken seriously in January 2013. Since 2014, I've been teaching players of all skill levels, ranging from complete beginners to competitive tournament players, and all of them have benefited from my guidance. Many of my students have reached top ranks in Tekken 7, and I have students who achieved God Rank in Tekken 8. In addition to teaching, I’ve competed in and won numerous offline tournaments, with detailed breakdowns of those matches available on my channel. My playstyle is intentional and methodical. I don’t rely on random moves. I explain the reasoning behind every action I take and why it works at a fundamental level. Teaching is my greatest passion, and nothing brings me more joy than helping others improve through my advice. No matter your starting point, I’m confident I can help you level up your skills. Although Tekken 8 isn’t my favorite due to the game's simplification, I firmly believe that strong fundamentals, like proper spacing, optimal punishing, and matchup knowledge, will always outweigh mindless button-mashing. That’s exactly what I’m here to teach. My philosophy goes beyond just studying characters. I focus on analyzing players themselves to consistently outplay any opponent. After all, success in Tekken is about more than just countering a character you dislike. It is about mastering the game and understanding the competition.
