Greetings! My name is Dean "PepperBeef2Spicy" Medina, I'm a professional Tekken player, commentator and coach. With a decade of experience in competitive Tekken and nearly 13 years in competitive Fighting Games, I've competed in dozens of tournaments, competing at the local, national and even international level. In my time, I've learned a great deal about what makes a Tekken player "good", how top players think, how they practice, and how they perform so consistently. This insight has been forged by some of my mentors and main training partners including legendary players such as Joey Fury, NYCFab, Inkognito, Bloodhawk, Suiken, and Spero Gin. And together, there is an opportunity here to raise your level of play wherever you may be at, whether you've just bought the game or you're a prospective or current tournament competitor. Whatever your goals may be, I'm here to help you reach it to the best of my ability. Some of my most notable accolades in Tekken include top 8 placements at major events such as NEC, Winter Brawl, Defend the North and top 24 placements in international level Tekken World Tour events such as Combo Breaker, Summer Jam, and CEO. In bracket I've had victories over top and high level players such as Lil'Majin, CherryBerryMango, Spero Gin, JodyThaGreat, Komanda, SourPiggy and more! And I was even the very first legitimate Tekken God Omega Lei on PC in North America! Outside of competition I started the YouTube channel "PepperBeef2Spicy" in 2013 which was made intentionally to be a platform for passing on Tekken knowledge. On my YouTube channel you'll find a number of tutorials for the characters I play and general Tekken tips, tutorials and knowledge. While other Tekken coaches teach from their long competitive experience, I offer the same but I also bring with me 8 years of experience in Tekken educational content, as well as a minor degree in education! Educating and teaching is one of my great passions and teaching Tekken is a combination of both of my loves, gaming/Tekken and teaching. I often go above and beyond for my students even without pay! While I have an in-depth knowledge of nearly every character in the game; In the Tekken world I'm known primarily as a highly dedicated Lei Wulong specialist, with additional specializations in Leo and Marshall Law. With Lei being one of the most elusive characters in the game, both in gameplay and in the very small number of dedicated Lei mains I provide a highly unique character to those interested in learning how to play him and- even for those who want to learn how to defeat him, I can help! In addition to my specializations I also have particular keen matchup knowledge against: Asuka, Feng, Bryan, Lei, Law, Leroy, Leo, Yoshimitsu, Xiaoyu, King, Julia and more! But whatever your character may be, whether it's Kazumi or Josie, Bryan or Dragunov, Paul or Alisa, Geese or Master Raven, there's something to be gained from improving not just your knowledge and usage of your character- but also in your fundamentals and mental fortitude. As getting good at Tekken involves more than just a library of knowledge or hours spent in training mode. The journey of Tekken is just as much mental as it is physical, staying calm, managing stress, mitigating salt, negativity, avoiding "tilt" and having a progressive outlook is important to stay strong in Tekken and is part of what makes a truly formidable player. And building that mental strength is part of my coaching just as much as teaching the game itself. While it's true you don't need a coach to progress in or excel at Tekken. There are many fellow competitors I know who got to where they are now mostly on their own. With that being said, *no one* and I really mean no one at the top level got as good as they now without help. Either formally, or more often informally some of the best players in the world trained with players who had something to offer. Whether they learned the game entirely from them or needed refinement, players like Knee, Arslan Ash, Jimmy J Tran, Anakin, Joey Fury, they all had mentors and lifelong training partners that helped mold them into the legends they are today. So if you're really determined to improve your Tekken, to fast track yourself to the next level let's get in touch! Regardless of wherever you may be at in your Tekken journey or whatever your goals in this game are, together we can truly bring out the best in you.
