If there was a Tekken resource using the same layout as TYM and 8WayRun, I'd probably stop logging in to TYM altogether until the next MK game lol. TZ is archaic, new threads are instantly deleted and there are only a handful of threads and you will not find any specific information you seek. The community is generally hostile towards new players as in not giving much detailed help or responses.
I have been thinking about creating content on Youtube for Tekken for a very long time. most of the tutorials and in-depth guides are half assed and made for a child's attention span and they leave out crucial information about certain moves, like what type of okizeme is possible and what you can safely do without being tech rolled into a while standing launcher and what not. Tracking and hitboxes are not properly discussed, string properties such as potential parry or other interrupts or sidestep punishes are not discussed at all. TMM gives out false frame data or is testing the actual frame data while he is recording his content. Aris proceeds to babble on too much about single moves and wank around with failed combos and what not and it needlessly drags his tutorials on longer than required.
All of the available information is very basic and does not help new players find out the proper practical application of a lot of moves to maximize the ratio between risk and reward. Common situational meta or poke/counterpoke/whiff setups are not discussed at all.
in terms of in depth stuff: did you guys know that you can actually option select Heihachi's entire kit apart from b2, f2~1+2, d4, db3 and run up f3/wr3? After Heihachi puts himself at around -1 to -3 you can sidestep left, sidestep cancel into stand block then tap db to flash duck then immediately stand back up. Everything else is going to whiff or get blocked when done properly, I shit you not, do it properly in practice mode and be amazed at what you'll find. I've known about this for like 2 years, but I've never seen anyone discuss it.
I know I could deliver a great in-depth guide, use bullet points on paper then do a single take, I could cover absolutely everything there is to know about my characters in 2 hours.
Edit: Edited out a mistake, f1+2 whiffs on the OS, what I meant to write was f2~1+2.
