Good Ass Tekken

[sturdy merlin]

Yerrrr

[frail goblet]

oh thats' what's wrong

[random carbon]

when i go home im going to learn my new main, king

spoiler alert: i am home

[sleek sorrel]

Should dive into reina. I've had enough of nina/lee.

[frail goblet]

K I'm good, had to reup my software for it

[jolly bane]

Reina was giving me a lot of problems early on

[sleek sorrel]

She looks strong, just stance heavy.

[jolly bane]

Word I sent an invite, idk if it’s still good

[sturdy merlin]

I will learn his chan grabs and be the best king here boy

[frail goblet]

Oh I just sent you one, sec lemme switch over

[sleek sorrel]

You dont have to "learn" chain grabs lmao.

not in this game

just mash 1 or 2 ftw. It's honeslty stupid.

[jolly bane]

[sturdy merlin]

Does that mean pressing all 4 face buttons at the same time

[jolly bane]

Ye

Ki charge

Or ultimate punishment if you play Paul

[sturdy merlin]

Is there a shortcut for that or do I need to do it raw

[sleek sorrel]

You can bind a 1234 button

I have one for chain throws specifically.

[sturdy merlin]

Oh sick. I should probably focus on literally every other aspect of my game but

[frail goblet]

wack

[jolly bane]

[frail goblet]

1+2 break that push throw right?

[jolly bane]

Chest crusher? That’s a 2

[frail goblet]

wow lol

[jolly bane]

The throw that has a deathfist in it is a 1

[frail goblet]

lmao

[jolly bane]

The shoto throw is a 1

[frail goblet]

the one you get hit with is 1+2

[random carbon]

my new main is paul, leeroy, and king and ill be the best one in this server

[frail goblet]

whiff all day

[jolly bane]

The uf1+2? It’s killing me that I know the break and keep eating it anyway haha

[frail goblet]

bro wall too?

[jolly bane]

Ohhhhhh nooooo

[frail goblet]

i gotta mash better if hopkick beats S1 in neutral at match start

[jolly bane]

Lmao I gotta do brainless stuff sometimes

[frail goblet]

feels like half the shit he does launches lol

[jolly bane]

Paul? Yeah it’s rough on this stage with floor breaks too

Yo when we went for the throw at the same time was wild

[frail goblet]

i have two floors breaks. D1+2 and my throw lmao

true

[jolly bane]

The chain punches into backswing is getting me, I gotta be more respectful there

[frail goblet]

wall bound throw is insane lmao

[jolly bane]

Yeah he’s got a 1 and 1+2 splatting throw

[prisma dune]

I like the way you think

[frail goblet]

running into my toe happens all the time lol

[jolly bane]

How - is that full crouch string?

[frail goblet]

three hit?

[jolly bane]

Nah the sweep into scoop up

[frail goblet]

punishable

dunno by how much tho

[jolly bane]

Yeh it seems to be at least -12 but idk if I can get more

Ya gotta low parry the FF2,2 string. Lunging punch into low launch. I think it’s an OS if you low parry

[frail goblet]

I have better options i'm not using tbf

that sucked lmao

[jolly bane]

lol classic Paul

I can’t believe I got the floor break on that trade

[frail goblet]

i can't either man this game loves you

[jolly bane]

Probably have to split after the next one

[frail goblet]

lmao

kk

no floor break for me. ggs

[jolly bane]

GGs dude!

I gotta go shovel snow

[frail goblet]

I gotta get used to using Hermit Stance raw to deal with those lows I can't punish with Arrow Shower

But every low looks like a Deathfist in waiting so lmao

[jolly bane]

I’m hesitant to pressure Leroy like I do other characters cuz the parry could be lurking

[jolly bane]

So true

[solemn kernel]

Im off tomorrow

TEKKEN TIME BABY

[sleek sorrel]

@ me

@frail goblet forgot to reply

[frail goblet]

Whats up?

[sleek sorrel]

[solemn kernel]

God all I can hear in my head are the perfectly synchronized hits of my characters combos.

https://tenor.com/view/ofergang-daniel-gif-25330530

[random carbon]

I love this game so much

[sleek sorrel]

all tekken no werk tomorrow because we won sports ball

[random carbon]

I’m gonna be tekken ball champion

[random carbon]

any6one down to play rn

[solemn kernel]

im scared

[random carbon]

I can play Steve instead

Up 2 u if u want to pley

[sturdy merlin]

Put me in coach

[random carbon]

Ok give me like 5 min

What u want zurr? Ease mode or hard mode?

[sturdy merlin]

Whichever you have the most fun with

[random carbon]

Yoshi

Genuinely the best character in fighting games

[sturdy merlin]

Sorry dog threw up

[random carbon]

Oof

No idea what happed lol

[sturdy merlin]

Me either

[random carbon]

Sent another 1

[sturdy merlin]

Omw

That's a sick costume

I just can't get up???

[random carbon]

Lmaooo

Ground combo

[sturdy merlin]

I'm starting to get salty so imma call it there

Ggs

[random carbon]

Yeah he’s my best character

That one combo is ridiculous but it requires no wall for it to hit

Ending always whiffs if u hit the wall

I have to do something else but I haven’t figured it out yet

[sturdy merlin]

I just don't know how to handle it yet. I still don't have combos so I'm just poking to death

[random carbon]

Tbh what I did learning the game isn’t practice mode much other than trying to remember the moves but fighting ghosts in super ghost battle

I tried my combos there

Simulate a real match setting

I farmed the tekken god ghost

[solemn kernel]

who want's the tekken smoke

[prisma dune]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tyc5fD0DPw

[solemn kernel]

oh herer we go

let me watcht hid and get reasted

[sturdy merlin]

Man idk if imma stick with king

I'm fucking struggling

[solemn kernel]

i think Tekken

is very good

[solemn kernel]

just keep practicing

remember that to get clean

you gotta

fuck what was it again?

[sturdy merlin]

Kings hard cause I don't get to roll my face against the controller and get combos

[solemn kernel]

To get clean you have to scrub yourself or something

[solemn kernel]

some inputs in D-pad are wonky

especially with shit like me pressing DF and it registering like 3 forward and 6 down inputs then 2 df inputs

it's so janky lmao

that's why electrics are so hard

[sturdy merlin]

I don't think they're that hard but I'm also playing hitbox

So somehow that is easier for me than

[jolly bane]

With king you’ll be getting more damage by turning the frame advantage from pokes that hit into 3-way throw mixup

Giant swing does about as much as a combo anyway lol

Then once your opponent is frustrated from the pokes and throws you can land some counter hits for launch and get your combos

[sturdy merlin]

Yea that's not working bud

Not against wavy at least

[solemn kernel]

https://youtu.be/HiQ0Ht1Fwlc?si=7LrX3d04L5Hr8TXw

i wanna do this one day

[random carbon]

The yoshimitsu one made me laugh

[random carbon]

It’s definitely because you don’t know fighting against yoshi yet. The more you play you will learn what’s a high and what’s unblockable and all that

Some things I do are plus but also highs

[jolly bane]

Ya gotta duck that one string

[random carbon]

Yeah that one is plus I believe

[jolly bane]

Free float if you duck it

[random carbon]

It’s definitely a gimmick lol

If a person expects it it’s a wrap

[jolly bane]

I mean, ya gotta use it. Have to present the threat. I wasn’t ducking it every time

[crisp cobalt]

It's gonna take me a while to climb

[random carbon]

My dream is to get to blue ranks my reality is I’ll be playing tekken 9 before I could get to it

[jolly bane]

I think my goal for now is mighty ruler

I haven’t played ranked in a couple days but I should be able to hit red next time I jump in.

[random carbon]

I wish quick match play lets you stay against a person longer than a rank set

Sometimes you come across a player that you have great back and forth battles with

[jolly bane]

I’ll usually send them an in-game friend request

But yeah idk why quick match is BO3

[random carbon]

I don’t add people as friends except for yall on discord. I do download their ghost and that’s my practice mode

[jolly bane]

I haven’t really fought a lot of ghosts

[random carbon]

I practiced strats on the tekken god harada ghost

[jolly bane]

That ghost is 🆓

[random carbon]

Yep

I know the strings for yoshi. It’s now learning applying which is ideal in what situation.

[crisp cobalt]

super ghost battle is useful

It's not good to test opponent defense, but its great for practicing punishment and looking for player habits.

I've used it to learn against some edgelord that plays around here.

[random carbon]

That’s how I use it pretty much

[jolly bane]

Makes sense. See what the key moves are and how to deal with them.

[random carbon]

You don’t get the same practice in the lab. At least idk how to make the ai act like that

I just used it to know what strings I have lol

[jolly bane]

There’s punishment training but that doesn’t prepare you for everything

[random carbon]

Who is the worst character

[solemn kernel]

Fucking

Leroy

[jolly bane]

Lowest on tier list?

[sturdy merlin]

Probably a bear

[solemn kernel]

Panda

but shit panda and Kuma are probably the closest things to playing as Heihachi

[jolly bane]

Panda is rated pretty low

I’ve seen someone put Leroy and Steve as bottom 2

[random carbon]

stevfe sux but is fun

[jolly bane]

Shit I might pick up Feng, dude was giving me trouble earlier today on my lunch break

[sturdy merlin]

I was looking at Feng too

[random carbon]

anyoen down to play rn ?

[jolly bane]

You may not love his gameplay tbh. Extremely defensive/poke oriented character.

[sturdy merlin]

Idk if I have a specific playstyle or anything, I'll have to see how he feels. I mean King is the first grappler I've ever played

[jolly bane]

That’s fair, try characters out and see who you vibe with

Or just pick up Paul, roll face and fart out damage

[sturdy merlin]

Closest thing I've ever seen to a pilebunker is deathfist

[random carbon]

the coolest character anyone can play is yoshi

he makes u happy

[solemn kernel]

who want's to tekken rn

fuck man

i fucking hate grabs in this game

they feel so fucking cheap

fuckkkk

[random carbon]

They’re op

[solemn kernel]

they're so cheap

i hate fighting yoshimitsu lmao

[random carbon]

He’s silly

[solemn kernel]

he's got too much shit

[random carbon]

Win or loss good time

Yeah he do

[solemn kernel]

too many lows and shit

like naw man

how do i counter your grab?

[random carbon]

Duck

[solemn kernel]

not the helicopter one

the other two

[random carbon]

Works the same at or u have to press the right button to counter it

Depends on which grab

[solemn kernel]

yeah you got 2

the one where you stab

[random carbon]

U can duck all grand

Grabs

[solemn kernel]

yeah but i dont have the reaction time of a cat lmao

[random carbon]

Throws r brutal

[solemn kernel]

throws feel like a pussy resort to shit

except if youre a grappler

youre cool

[solemn kernel]

RRAAAAAAHHH

EVERY FIGHTER IS WINNING

[frail goblet]

Throws are how you beat armor moves. Utilize them as much as you can

[random carbon]

They’re easy to counter because the window is large

[solemn kernel]

(Except MK1)

[frail goblet]

Espcially if you're fighting a King player

[solemn kernel]

how teh fuck do i rage art

i dont have a rage art button assigneed but UI know theres an input

[frail goblet]

DF1+2

[solemn kernel]

okay

been messig it up lmao

[random carbon]

I’m gonna try Steve

[solemn kernel]

you can try anyone

Oppagangnam style

@random carbon go back

my ass went right side

[random carbon]

lol

I cant

After

[random carbon]

I’m gonna do 2 more matches

[solemn kernel]

d:

D:

[random carbon]

Last one

[solemn kernel]

ima be real

idk what im douing

[random carbon]

Ggs my Steve is buns haha

[solemn kernel]

T^T

[random carbon]

I kept getting parried

Didn’t know u get free parries off those jabs

[solemn kernel]

Yeah, I parry a lot against steve's since all they can do is punch.

[jolly bane]

Gotta open up turtles somehow. Condition people to duck.

[solemn kernel]

Only time where Asuka's counters kinda work I guess.

at least for me

[random carbon]

It’s def a strong tool against Steve

I was afraid to throw a single punch

U got me like 7 times one round

[solemn kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/nemesis-resident-evil-gif-25555465

[jolly bane]

I believe it only works on punches and kicks, so it won’t work on knees, elbows and other strikes. If the attacker is sharp they can chicken her parry 🐓

[solemn kernel]

Work's on all highs and lows.

or highs and medium

fuck if i know

https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830

[random carbon]

Those were some good games and u improved like a mill ion times

I had to use an ounce of my brain for once

[solemn kernel]

Your yoshimitsu is annoying

as fuck

in a good way

no hate

[jolly bane]

Oh wtf they actually got rid of chickens in T8

[sturdy merlin]

Watching aew and all I wanna do is play king

[solemn kernel]

wdym?

[jolly bane]

It’s super niche legacy tech, they got rid of it I guess. You could reverse generic + Asuka’s parries

[sturdy merlin]

I have no idea what that means

[jolly bane]

RIP, gone but not forgotten (cuz nobody knew it even existed) https://youtu.be/Q-2-CtRvj9U?si=GhHDknW5UqhiATAF

[sturdy merlin]

Oh that's cool

[jolly bane]

I’ve only done it maybe twice intentionally, but it was still neat and I liked to hear the announcer say “chicken”.

[sturdy merlin]

@jolly bane help me out here

The hell does CD4/DF/HOLD mean

Or I guess

CD is crouch dash?

[jolly bane]

Crouch dash 4, so QCF or F,N,D,DF depending on the character

That’s a fucking weird input

[sturdy merlin]

https://youtu.be/sMnIVqcpiU0?si=8lDITlj4FFhn-god

Around 1:11

[jolly bane]

If I had to guess

Let me watch the video

Oh does king have a FF1 move out of full crouch?

[sturdy merlin]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think?

[jolly bane]

I think their notation is just cursed. You probably have to hold a directional either before or after 4 for that knee to come out

It’s fucking

@sturdy merlin

Only launches on ch

[sturdy merlin]

Ah okay thanks man

[solemn kernel]

fuck this input on dpad

[jolly bane]

If you’re trying to do an electric try:
+

[frail goblet]

the df+button frame matters most

[random carbon]

i only play characters with easy inputs

[solemn kernel]

lmao

shut up wavy

[solemn kernel]

hmm

for me personally

this is the issue

(let me hop in game)

[random carbon]

im serious

yoshimitsu doesnt have complex inputs

he just has a lot of moves is all

[sturdy merlin]

Is it the that gives you trouble

[solemn kernel]

in D pad

[jolly bane]

Yep! For me personally I usually input the button a little too slow so I try to throw it on the down input, and it seems to help a lil

[solemn kernel]

it detects the DF input twice a lot

like theoretically that should be an electric

but since i didnt (time) it in the previous input

it doesnt work

[frail goblet]

I honestly don't know how people play Tekken on Pad. It's much smoother with a stick

[solemn kernel]

this is an electric

[solemn kernel]

it's all i got man

:(

Tekken is clearly made for sticks

[jolly bane]

Eh I don’t really have issues on pad

[solemn kernel]

Weirdly enough

this was an electric???

[jolly bane]

It can do what I need it to do. Maybe I’d have an easier time on hitbox or something but that’s not in the budget right now

[frail goblet]

See how it's the same input?

[jolly bane]

That’s what you’re looking for

[solemn kernel]

literally almost oimpossible on dpad

hmmm

ill keep trying

[sturdy merlin]

Just make sure you're hitting it dead on. Sometimes rhe side of your thumb could be pressing the side if you're not too careful

[solemn kernel]

If I don’t hit 3 of these fuckers in a row I’m maining Jack 8

[frail goblet]

[jolly bane]

Jack is nuts

[frail goblet]

It's crazy, all my salt and biases against other characters I had in T7 are gone in T8

With exception of Dragunov because seriously fuck him

[jolly bane]

Lol drag is mad strong but I don’t get annoyed fighting him. I guess since I’ve played him a bit a know a little bit about what to expect. He’s a little easier to manage if you step wr2 and sneak 4

I think the only character that really tilts me right now is Azu

[solemn kernel]

I can’t hit these electrics

[jolly bane]

Devil Jin is kind of annoying too I can’t lie, that dude is just flying all over the place

[solemn kernel]

😔

[frail goblet]

With me trying to parry that bitch and him having surprise grabs it really fucks me up lol

[jolly bane]

Oh shit I didn’t even consider it from that perspective, that must suck ass

[sturdy merlin]

Got to fighter rank

Figured out how to buffer command Grabs and how to get blue spark throws more consistently

I'm still inconsistent but it's a start

[frail goblet]

Good shit bud

[wind badge]

finally a got some days off from work

which means tekken time baby

[frail goblet]

Good shit

[sleek sorrel]

I believe in this prediction. I just don't know why anyone isn't complaining about dvj as much.

DVJ heat smash is like range 4 and tracks both ways. Morning crow stance its pretty safe if you don't mess up (i.e. Okizeme or cancelling the stance in their face.)

[solemn kernel]

Crazy how the more they released the better they did lmao

SF6 needs more tho

[jolly bane]

I’m complaining about DVJ haha dude just does UF1 from half screen and flies at you. UF4 being a heat engager makes me want to rip my hair out too

[sturdy merlin]

Who tryna get scooped tonight

[jolly bane]

Gonna be playing T8 with my homie irl tonight, so unlikely for me

[solemn kernel]

What time is it for you rn?

[sturdy merlin]

12:32 pm

[solemn kernel]

Ah okay I get home around 10PM for you.

[random carbon]

Sf6 single player content has potential to be sick in future games. Game was solid

Tekken gameplay feels so good to me

The thing with sf for me was that I always treated it as a placeholder until mortal kombat released.

I had no interest in tekken 8 until the month it came out. I started to think I disliked fighting games but I guess ultimately I’m a fan of 3d fighters.

[sturdy merlin]

After ggst I thought the same for me

Just no drive, didn't really care about fgs

Tekken 8 turned that shit around tho

[random carbon]

I hope they introduce even more martial arts in future characters.

[sturdy merlin]

They have pretty solid representation

[jolly bane]

Once Marduk comes back I’m chillin

Also if it’s anything like T7 we’ll get like 5 years or dlc lol

I'm good with king. I'm getting my ass beat but that's a me thing and not a character thing

Too famous for my liking.

Yea man you were pressing buttons like never before it was sick

I'm just at a loss. Feels like you're rewarded off every interaction

You just get to do shit

I know that's salt talking

But still

[solemn kernel]

Hey you know wah

Salt talk is okay

[random carbon]

It could be a matchup thing never know

[sturdy merlin]

Anybody wanna play

[jolly bane]

I’m down

[solemn kernel]

We can make a room

if ya'll want

of course

@jolly bane ?

@sturdy merlin ?

[solemn kernel]

Maybe the Tekken was the friends we made along the way.

[frail goblet]

Is this

The edgerunners gal

[sturdy merlin]

@jolly bane thanks again for the games last night, it was fun

[jolly bane]

The pleasure is all mine, glad you had fun!

[frail goblet]

ye

[random carbon]

I never get thanked

Feelsbadman

I had my fun with Steve but he’s too low tier for me yea I said it

[solemn kernel]

Mf’s I pinged both of their asses and both didn’t say shit lmao

[sturdy merlin]

Sorry we were lost in the sauce

I actually managed to take a game or two off Doc between getting deathfisted through every wall in the game

[frail goblet]

He do be lovin those walls tho

[jolly bane]

My ideal stage is a phone booth or like an elevator lol

[random carbon]

Tekken ball stage when

[jolly bane]

Ya gotta have a beach stage

[frail goblet]

https://youtu.be/BPDxFTuMOyw

[jolly bane]

That channel intro is out of pocket

But yeah, something like that is what I had in mind haha

[frail goblet]

Ngl I totally skipped it lmao

Just tried to grab one without scuffed audio

[jolly bane]

Speaking of audio I appreciate the krushing blow sounds hah

[frail goblet]

You gotta watch Baki man

[sturdy merlin]

Thumbnail is just LTG vs Viscant

[random carbon]

I haven’t felt respect for a mirror match until playing yoshi. I’ve seen other player acknowledge another yoshi by doing something silly round start

[jolly bane]

I’ve heard nothing but good things. I already got so much backlog in the “to watch” queue tho

[random carbon]

Pogo or sit

[jolly bane]

It’s some kind of tradition I’d imagine

[sturdy merlin]

All I know about baki is that Obama is in it

[frail goblet]

I feel you, but I almost wanna say bump it up in priority, it's a fucking ride, truly

[jolly bane]

Well, ya ain’t let me down yet so I might have to

[sturdy merlin]

Who tryna play some later

[frail goblet]

I can.

Just ping whenever. I'm stuck at work all weekend

[sturdy merlin]

Bet I'll probably ping you in around an hour

[sturdy merlin]

@frail goblet can you even straight up add people

[frail goblet]

Nah, gotta meet up in Lounge

[sturdy merlin]

Or do we need to hit the lounge then lobby

That's so stupid

[frail goblet]

Agreed

i'm in 14

[sturdy merlin]

Be gentle

[frail goblet]

wizards on point

call me Mr Dropped Combo

[sturdy merlin]

You'll tech eventually lol

[frail goblet]

you're really fast with it honestly

[sturdy merlin]

Once you tech shining wizard it's lights out for me lol

I need a second

To look at my flowers

[frail goblet]

sure thing

[sturdy merlin]

This shit is rough man outside of sw I'm just doing shit

[frail goblet]

It takes a bit.

Leroy's got hella lows too

[sturdy merlin]

Doesn't help that I don't really even have combos for when I do get you

I really don't know anything. I hope someone makes a tekken frame app

[frail goblet]

well if you want a quick guide on when i'm plus, it's anytime you take chip

not always, but generally

you'll see an orange flash when it happens

[sturdy merlin]

That was sick lol

I might call it there for right now

[frail goblet]

Sounds good. Fun fights man.

[sturdy merlin]

For you, that shit was rough on this end lol

[frail goblet]

You mix up your throws and got the iWRs down

[sturdy merlin]

But nah they were fun

[frail goblet]

jaguar step 2 gives you a crouch throw on hit btw. you should definitely use that to approach someone poking you with lows

[sturdy merlin]

, ?

[frail goblet]

Yeah your little spin

You can do it forwards and backwards

[sturdy merlin]

Yea

Forwards I point at you

[frail goblet]

the hop itself dodges lows

[sturdy merlin]

Jaguar sprint

[frail goblet]

and the hilarious part, if you keep spinnin, it beefs up the frame data after the 3rd spin i believe

so your shit becomes plus on block

[sturdy merlin]

No fucking way lmao

[frail goblet]

true story

King gets all kinds of weird fun shit like that

[solemn kernel]

Told ya to use jaguar step 24/7

[random carbon]

[sturdy merlin]

You're starting to tech shining wizard

[solemn kernel]

dawg

who the fuck is this character?

[frail goblet]

paul?

walking nightmare

[solemn kernel]

jesus fucking chirst

[jolly bane]

Snowball becomes an avalanche quick with Paul

[solemn kernel]

was that a low launcher

okay he said "I'll win for you" that makes me like him.

but naw man

uuuhhhh

[jolly bane]

Paul is a wholesome fella like that

[sturdy merlin]

[solemn kernel]

I'll go play with the other peeps.

Sorry lol but not having fun lmao straight up.

[jolly bane]

Yeah you have to low parry the second hit of that string I think

[frail goblet]

Pass this evil off onto me

[solemn kernel]

nothing against you

WAIR

[frail goblet]

Nah, Paul will ruin you quick if you don't know

[solemn kernel]

WHYU DID

omfg

Zurr is gonna eat my ass

[frail goblet]

SOME KUING FU SHIT

i'm sweatin

[jolly bane]

Ouuu the just frame parry

[frail goblet]

most wholesome assbeating ever

[jolly bane]

40% off a grab for a “non-grappler” is a little cheeky

Gonna take 5 to grab another beer

[frail goblet]

kk

[jolly bane]

G fuckin Gs man

Gotta go turn down the heat while I’m up

[frail goblet]

not a bad idea

new throw buffs are something i gotta get used shit. kinda understand why people putting him lower now.

[jolly bane]

Oh not being able to break throws when you’re caught in parry recovery? Yeah that’s rough. Well, at least I gotta get close to ya first

[solemn kernel]

grabs are a lil broken

[frail goblet]

dude throw ranges are crazy lol

it doesn't feel that close at all

[jolly bane]

Sorry just gonna take a lil smoke break before I jump back in if that’s cool

[frail goblet]

no worries here man

[jolly bane]

I was labbing Feng for about 15 minutes tonight and I think I might have to tier-whore it out. His pokes are gross.

[solemn kernel]

how is getting hit with 3 grabs and dying fair in any fighter

King goes mad crazy

he's gherking

[frail goblet]

Feng actually kinda cool in this game

[jolly bane]

In some games you only get 2 lol

[solemn kernel]

Feng is kinda cool looking yeah

gonna play this one and check on Helldievrs

[jolly bane]

I’ve always thought his style is really cool, the motions and everything are sick

[frail goblet]

you people with your launching mids

[solemn kernel]

:>

this shit is ass

[frail goblet]

:>

[solemn kernel]

that was a good one

[sturdy merlin]

I think imma call it there

It's late and I'm old lol

Thank you for the games everyone it was fun!

[jolly bane]

lol fair enough! GGs

[sturdy merlin]

GGs! Feng is fucking terrifying

[jolly bane]

His poking is obscene, gotta learn more than 5 moves tho haha

[frail goblet]

wanna swap in death?

[jolly bane]

Sure I got a couple more in me

[frail goblet]

stage track goes hard

380mm arm

[random carbon]

Sorry I just got off

[jolly bane]

Yeah this is one of the ones I didn’t change

[frail goblet]

I can't tell the differnce between those two throws in a match

[jolly bane]

Pauls offense is so nasty when he gets rolling

If your back is to the wall it’s most likely a 1+2 or a 1 if I’m feeling spicy. If my back is to the wall it’s usually a 1

[frail goblet]

sloppy all round

[jolly bane]

The like

Quick two haymaker string is -16 on block, if I miss the punish you can launch

[frail goblet]

which ones the 1+2 one again

[jolly bane]

I felt like a Ky player with the yolo run up throw

[frail goblet]

the wall push right

[jolly bane]

1+2 is wall push and twist and shout

Gut punch into deathfist and shoto throw are a 1

Chest crusher is a 2

[frail goblet]

bro i have 3 throws

[jolly bane]

Brb gonna grab another brew

[frail goblet]

k

[jolly bane]

I guess Paul’s style is technically based on judo 🥋 plus he’s been around forever, legacy characters usually have more throws.

They should give Leroy a throw out of stance 😈

[frail goblet]

yeah but them suddenly being useful after 20 years of bunk is shell shock lol

i feel like i'm still playing a T7 character tbh

[jolly bane]

Lol true, having two throws that wall splat is outrageous

[frail goblet]

you're impossible to side step lmao

[jolly bane]

lol trading perfects

That’s such a dope win pose

[frail goblet]

thje only tier he wins in

paul's such a hero

[jolly bane]

I really have to stop mashing on that two knee string

[frail goblet]

like a fucking cannon

BWOOOOOOOOOO

[jolly bane]

Paul’s damage is out of control

Sorry one sec gonna take a waz and grab another beer

[frail goblet]

[jolly bane]

Any blocked shoulder from Paul is launch I think btw

The “teleport” shoulder where he takes a massive sidestep definitely is

[frail goblet]

I don't think I have anything fast enough that'll also reach you

but we'll give it a shot

[jolly bane]

DF2 doesn’t reach? Dang that’s fucked up if so

[frail goblet]

Leroy's reach is fucked up man lol

[jolly bane]

I don’t think Leroy can punish deathfist which makes the matchup rough

[frail goblet]

i got a few things i need to remember to try, but i don't think i'm gonna get much reward off of any of it nah

[jolly bane]

Better to get some reward than to just let me swing away with impunity. Although you’re stepping them a lot to be fair

[frail goblet]

groovy music

[jolly bane]

My bad you mind if I take like five to smoke?

[frail goblet]

Take your time man

I been smokin

[jolly bane]

Dispensary had some crazy deals today

[frail goblet]

Not mine. Youngkin still fuckin us over

[jolly bane]

I definitely need something to neutralized how amped this game gets me haha

[jolly bane]

Do you guys have medical yet?

[frail goblet]

I think it's still available, but I don't have a source on that

plus gig worker, no insurance and that shit is insanely expensive out here for no reason.

dunno what i was expecting tbh

[jolly bane]

Yo Feng’s rage art is kinda sick

[frail goblet]

It is

[jolly bane]

I like that him and Leroy have a special intro. Leroy beats up on Feng in his own character chapter lol

[frail goblet]

see that grab range lol

gettin yoinked

[jolly bane]

Yeah I feel like throws have more priority too

Oh I’ve been meaning to ask

What’s the conversion off sugar when heat is active lmao

There’s gotta be something

[frail goblet]

#neverplus

[jolly bane]

That should not have beat the meaty

Ooof the hermit on the snake edge

didn't mean to do that

sugart sucks

[jolly bane]

I live for stuff like that tho

One sec gotta hit the head

I should probably call it fairly soon

[frail goblet]

it's goin through ya lol

call it when you're ready

[jolly bane]

I’ll run one more set and see how I’m feeling

[frail goblet]

sounds good

really feeling the lack of wall bounce tbh

[jolly bane]

The hermit 1+2 wall bounce was nice

And his old power crush wall bounce would go crazy in this game

Well, while I definitely could play longer I should probably head to bed

GGs man!

[frail goblet]

No problem man. GGs

Rest easy

[jolly bane]

You too!

Hell yeah

You definitely make it pretty scary to approach

You play Reina? Dude that character steamrolls me

Yup i play her but i have yet to learn some combos with her , haven’t labbed much , still trying to get comfy with the gameplay itself

Very satisfying tho

Hell yeah man. Let's put a Tombstone in there some where too

[sturdy merlin]

Yea I gotta get used to that lol.

[frail goblet]

you'll fuck people up on floor break/bump maps it'll be great

[random carbon]

Once again a lose streak

[sturdy merlin]

Games?

[sturdy merlin]

Made it to green ranks

[jolly bane]

Red ranks are kinda wild right now

[random carbon]

It’s a wild ride. You either fight people who feel like they belong in purple ranks or you wonder how did they make red ranks.

I’m sure other feel the same way when they fight me

[sturdy merlin]

I just spend my time in ranked throwing folks

Poke poke poke 360 no scope

[random carbon]

I just mash plus frame highs

[jolly bane]

Yeah that’s the experience a lot of people, myself included, are having right now.

Feels like you lose hella points for a loss in reds too.

[frail goblet]

https://youtu.be/LfzsIP6Vd8g

[frail goblet]

Ranked distribution

[jolly bane]

Makes sense why everyone is saying red ranks are hell right now when you look at the concentration of players there

[sturdy merlin]

Yea. Imma get there and become a nightmare. I wanna gatekeep

[jolly bane]

You’ll be there in no time. I don’t think you can even lose rank points until yellow

[sturdy merlin]

You can't lol. Even tho I'm winning a lot rn I know imma plateu soon

[jolly bane]

Just gotta remember it’s a marathon not a sprint

[jolly bane]

Bruh I just had someone plug on me in unranked cuz I blocked/launched their raw rage art. I wish I could understand what goes through these player’s minds

[random carbon]

Lmfao

[frail goblet]

Just know that today. You were someone else's last straw lmao

[jolly bane]

Haha I like that way of framing it

[sturdy merlin]

I saw some folks making tier lists of characters they're interested in and I thought "why not"

[frail goblet]

Really hard to argue with such a solid graph

[sturdy merlin]

Speaking of tekken

@frail goblet @jolly bane @wind badge @random carbon anybody tryna play

[jolly bane]

Sorry man off to D&D, not gonna be around tonight

[sturdy merlin]

If you're not mashing I'm Jesus Christ himself

Yea hold on

[random carbon]

It prob looks like I’m mashing but either it’s because I’m plus or I attacked same time as u grappled and it broke

We doing a 3 lobby now?

who setitng it uup

[sturdy merlin]

I'll set it up my bad

You were right wavy I'm just being salty my apologies

Nah you two run it rq

[frail goblet]

that first round was cracked

i don't get your 10 string

[sturdy merlin]

Yoshi is really a character

[frail goblet]

my 10 is 6 hits

[random carbon]

my 10 has unblockables lol

[frail goblet]

[sturdy merlin]

Yoshi is fucking stupid dude

[random carbon]

io love him so much

[sturdy merlin]

I won't be mean to you

[frail goblet]

[random carbon]

lmao tracking dog

wtf

[frail goblet]

lmao that was a misinput

best dog

good girl

[random carbon]

is that a taunt or an attack

i guess its both

lmfao

[frail goblet]

yeah best way to put it lol

[sturdy merlin]

Imma play one more set and dip, it's about dinner time

And wrasslin is on

[frail goblet]

KUNG FU VS WRASSLIN

[sturdy merlin]

Wavy it's wack you dropped steve

I liked that interaction

[random carbon]

he loses to so many parries in the game

yoshi will always be my main. ill prob keep steve as secondary to mess around with but i do want to try some more characters

[frail goblet]

[random carbon]

my next set will be my last one as well

[frail goblet]

sometimes it feels like i'm winning but i'm almost dead

[random carbon]

king does that 2 ya

50 hits versus a few powerful attacks lol

[frail goblet]

ayuyyy

[sturdy merlin]

Alright ggs

[frail goblet]

ggs bro

[random carbon]

ghgs

[sturdy merlin]

I'll get yall one day

[frail goblet]

i'd say you're leaving me to suffer but you're both a handful

[sturdy merlin]

I'll be back later if you're still around

[frail goblet]

that low string is so fucked up

[random carbon]

spinning?

[frail goblet]

yeah lol

why it end in a mid

[random carbon]

yeah can switch it to a mid too

[frail goblet]

ggs

[random carbon]

ggs

yoshi has a lot going on for him

i actually learned some combos into the weaponless flash for free heals

[frail goblet]

new system mechanics put a fear of god into me lmao

[random carbon]

btw yoshis 10 string has gaps and u can low parry a mile away on the kick

if u dont low parry the last kick it becomes an unblockable

thats why it was hitting

its usually my online knowledge check gauge

if a person parries it then they know tekken

[jolly bane]

I wonder if you can also hopkick it

[random carbon]

Probably

dont see why not. just the parry is the easy universal option

[frail goblet]

in my entire time playing Tekken 7, no yoshi i ever fought used the 10 string i don't think i ever saw one from anyone i played

[random carbon]

idk if its the same string never played t7

but it definitely works in red ranks

not so much when i do quick play against higher ranked players

Classic costumes coming in hot, hope we get T4 grunge Paul.

Also hope there’s a way to earn premium currency in-game

[sturdy merlin]

Each costume being like $4 ain't bad honestly

Gimme king with the track pants and reebocks

[jolly bane]

Lol I have those pants and shirt

They claim all DLC/cosmetic profits will go directly into continued development of the game. Softens the blow of mtx’s a bit

Pray for wavy’s wallet, yoshi gonna have like 20 different outfits

Oh and they’re gonna do free promo drops here and there. So like the bullet club, Pac-Man, etc stuff they did in 7

[wind badge]

Lmfao that’s the king I would always remember seeing in arcades

[sturdy merlin]

Lmao yea I remember seeing that a lot too

[sturdy merlin]

PHGOTO MDFE

PHOTO MDE IS SICCKCKCK

[frail goblet]

This is the best thing ever made

[random carbon]

What the hell does that mean

[sturdy merlin]

Side step left/side step right

The chart is basically telling you generally which way is the better sidestep against each character

Right @jolly bane ?

[frail goblet]

Yes

[sturdy merlin]

[jolly bane]

Yes, the key is that it’s very general.

It’s just kind of like a starting point to getting used to using lateral movement to force whiffs, but don’t rely on it to counter every move for a given character. For example, I think you have to step drag’s wr2 (an essential move for him) to the left, but the guide says to step him to the right

[sturdy merlin]

@ebon orbit who you playing

[ebon orbit]

jun

kinda just been doing F2, and the same combo over and over lmao

F2 has crazy range

[sturdy merlin]

Lol I play King so most of my labbing is now just "okay do this combo.. now grab. All the grabs. Now."

[frail goblet]

You adding to your counterhit pick ups?

[sturdy merlin]

No, just grabbing

[frail goblet]

Want me to grab you some easy BnBs?

[sturdy merlin]

Imma do what I normally do, fuck around and watch a lot of King and maybe one day it'll come to me in a vision

Oh yea for sure

[frail goblet]

Kk gimme a sec. I'll come up with something easy

[sturdy merlin]

Most BnBs I found are all hopkick starters or like.. CD1 or WS1+2

[frail goblet]

I'm gonna use what you hit me with most

And what I see you don't cashing out on enough

[sturdy merlin]

It's mostly B1,2 or uh..DF2,1 but I don't think I csn get anything off those? And if I'm wrong I will he ecstatic

Maybe b12 I can get UF 3+4, 2+4?

[frail goblet]

DF2,1 gives you a People's elbow on CH

[sturdy merlin]

Ah okay

And that's just uh..

D2+3?

I think it is

[frail goblet]

I know you like throws too. DF3,4 is a great pick up for bounds and spins on CH if you wanna pick up some extra damage

Alternatively you can end with DF2,1 or another B1,2 if you wanna go for a wall splat after that pick up and get a wall wizard

[sturdy merlin]

How do you do the Boston crab at the end

[frail goblet]

Down+Grab

I think it might multi-part but I'm not going through that throw list to find it

[sturdy merlin]

B1,2 microwave DF3,4?

Microdash

Not microwave

[frail goblet]

Yeah

i'm dyin dude that killed me

[sturdy merlin]

Lmao there are only two guarantees in this world; death and me making absurd typos

[frail goblet]

Something like this is pretty easy to remember

[sturdy merlin]

65 dmg okay okay

[frail goblet]

Can prob do more but I'm keeping it simple

[frail goblet]

Also yes, sorry forgot to confirm thatlol

I realize I should turn my inputs on

[sturdy merlin]

Nah keep it super simple lmao I'm baby smooth brain in tekken for now

[frail goblet]

Just-Frame Wizard on analog btw

[sturdy merlin]

I can't get the blue spark wizard foe the fucking life of me man

[frail goblet]

The speed will come in time, promise

[sturdy merlin]

I can't get faster than hitbox man lmao I'm mashing mashing fff 2+4 like you never seen

[frail goblet]

Sorry, I shouldn't have just said speed. It's actually mainly about accuracy, and no additional inputs

[sturdy merlin]

Smfh already feeding me misinformation

[random carbon]

Yea alrite I admit I play this game like a brainlet just like I did in mk1, sf6, mk11, injustice 2, mkx, dbfz, mvc3, soulcalibur 1-6, chess, checkers, Tetris, tekken tag 2

[frail goblet]

My man

[ebon orbit]

didn't know they put 2b in Tekken too

[sturdy merlin]

Lmao

[random carbon]

Yoshi is incredibly simple to play. His inputs are so easy. He just has a lot of moves

His main combo extender is just spamming d2 lol

[jolly bane]

You can say that for most of the cast, really

My gameplan for Paul is pretty much: get opponent to wall, force a ridiculous mixup situation, if they guess wrong they get nuked for 50%/GGs
