Tekken General

[plucky sky]

Man

Wish my controller wasn't broke

I want to be labbing Asuka

[stark salmon]

wait for the patch and wr 1+2 go brrrrrr

[plucky sky]

I'd learn before the patch tbh if my controller didn't disconnect randomly

[wintry dagger]

That's gotta be a PC specific issue

[plucky sky]

It's not

It's a controller issue

It's broken

Happens on every game

Plus RB and LT are broken too

[wintry dagger]

Unga is so strong in T8 there's no point in learning advanced, significant lab required defense.

I've fought and beat Tekken Kings just by block punishing them

[obtuse nexus]

Every time I play blue ranks or higher I check their stats

Defense never fails to be higher than 40

[woeful zealot]

these are two contradictory statements no?

[wintry dagger]

Let me rephrase that

[wintry dagger]

Doing the punishment training for a character in practice mode and whiff punishing those specific moves on block will win you more games just because people aren't used to being punished

[plucky sky]

[rigid mortar]

do you get the same combo off b3 starter?

[plucky sky]

No

You get b343, 121, ff4, ff21

[rigid mortar]

ah, i was just curious cuz that starter looked like her follow up from b3

but wasnt sure

but if she could get all that from a b3 a lot more people would play her i think lol

[plucky sky]

It is

But b3 adds an extra hit of scaling

Plus this is a db4 counterhit combo

Cause you need the second hit of db43 to hit to launch that high

And then get the ff4 followup

b343 is +21, db43 is +29

[rigid mortar]

ah

[obtuse nexus]

I am Honestly trying very hard to learn, and I do feel like Tekken is MUCH harder than 2D games

But that might be me
I have been playing 2D games for many years now

[rigid mortar]

the tekken learning experience in 8 is better than its ever been in tekken games but its still way behind its competitors. sf6 has built in drills focused on fundies plus it has a single player mode that tricks people into learning. example is i think there are enemy fridges that spam fireballs and arc fireballs to teach people to walk up and block instead of just trying to jump or throw out random buttons

strive has a long tutorial that boring but it literally covers everything

i think xrds tutorial was good cuz it was mini games

[wintry dagger]

Back to Tekken

[rigid mortar]

skullgirls tutorial was considered peak till the most recent games came out

[obtuse nexus]

Yes. WT teaches A LOT

But yeah...
Tekken did not teach me much

The Tekken 101 vids on YT were good
I should prob just review them

[rigid mortar]

i should see is blasted released any character guides of characters i like since i quit

[obtuse nexus]

I feel like some core aspects of fundamental Tekken must be missing
I do not feel like I understand the game one little bit
And to make it worse...
I feel like some people in Red and Purple also have no idea

Today I won against a Purple Jin by spamming 112, Sentai 3, 112, Sentai 3...

[rigid mortar]

yeah thats why i was getting so tilted playing cuz im doing stuff and what i want to happen isnt happening

[obtuse nexus]

He REFUSED to block, or duck or literally anything besides mashing after blocking the Sentai 3

Not to say he didn't do anything at all, he did Heat Activate to fucking armor through 112
But I only had to find one small gap to start it all over again

I also ALMOST won against a Purple King today by spamming lows
He did not block one of my lows
I lost because he had some DAMAGE whenever he hit me with anything

I still found it funny tho...
Some Purple Ranks are really good and make me feel like they understand the game and I don't
But some of them make me feel like you only just need some good gimmick and noone will stop you

[rigid mortar]

my problem was my understanding of how moves worked for the last 20 years in fighting games is not the same as they are in tekken

[obtuse nexus]

Exactly
I feel it

[rigid mortar]

like rage art isnt actually a reversal

so the times i was trying to use it as one and it not coming out

tilted the fuck out of me

leroy parry, every parry in every 2d game is like frame 1

[obtuse nexus]

YES
Sometimes I mash it and it doesn't even come out

[rigid mortar]

leroy i think is frame 5

[obtuse nexus]

Marisa is frame 3...
Oof

[rigid mortar]

ok well shes special

[obtuse nexus]

But yeah
I feel it
Tekken reminds me of MK the most

But MK is also SUPER different from SF and Kof
Like, I had to relearn the very basics and fundamentals

I am still struggling with those in Tekken
I do not know how to sidestep, or how to move, how to approach, or even to get up
Sometimes I feel like I hold up and Reina still keeps laying there for my opponent to beat up

Maybe it's my fault for giving her cat ears and now she doesn't wanna wake up?

LMAO

But yeah
Simple ass things like that are very different from my previous experiences
Which is prob why Tekken is taking so long for me to click
And also why it's prob gonna be so fun when it actually does click

[wintry dagger]

Your Reina pulls a

[obtuse nexus]

Cmon Reina, wake up! Let's step on some people!

[rigid mortar]

i always mash for wake up

i was getting tilted cuz the slower get up never worked

then i found out you had to be in the downed state

[obtuse nexus]

I just huld up if I wanna block or a kick button if I feel like kicking

[plucky sky]

You gotta tap up

[obtuse nexus]

Oh
Mash? Really?

[obtuse nexus]

Most defensive law player

[plucky sky]

No, do it just before you land iirc

Or you can press back

[obtuse nexus]

What I understand is up gets you stand block and back gets you crouch block

But none seem to work for me
I should prob just lab and get the timings righf

[plucky sky]

No

Down back is crouch block

Back is stand block

Up is neutral block

[obtuse nexus]

Wait
Wtf is neutral block and what is the difference from stand?

[plucky sky]

Neutral block has some weird gimmick like less pushback or something

Not sure how it differs in Tekken 8

But you can block like 1 hit of a string if you stand still

[obtuse nexus]

Oh
Just let go of the controller right?

I've seen smt about it
Never used it tho

Only glad it existed when I was afk or smt and it saved me

[rigid mortar]

is there more than one character in tekken named lei

cuz i keep seeing wishlist posts for tekken and seeing lei but the image doesnt match. its some young looking good looking guy. where the lei i know is the ulgy ass middle age man that looks homeless af

[finite bridge]

no there’s only one Lei, they just made him ugly now

[golden kettle]

https://youtu.be/KeJdFPtcHKQ?si=GXarJHXNglC5PFtv

[finite bridge]

Everyone is like “I want Lei back” but it’d be the most annoying thing in the world to fight him in this game

[solid stirrup]

Isn’t everyone asking for Lei back the origin of “don’t ask me for shit”?

[obtuse nexus]

Exactly

Convinced people just be saying shit and don’t actually want these characters

[plucky sky]

They are

No one played Lei when he got added

Same shits gonna happen with Bruce i stg

[obtuse nexus]

Depends on how good or bad Bruce is

[rigid mortar]

maybe if they didnt make him so fucking homeless

[obtuse nexus]

He had a history of being mid tbf

[plucky sky]

Only time people ever played Bruce was in TTT2

Because he shat out damage for nothing

Like add Josie, Lucky Chloe or Katarina

And hundreds of people will play them

[obtuse nexus]

Lucky chloe was a mistake

[plucky sky]

Everyone online goes "we don't want Fahk, we want Bruce" and Fahk was like

4th most popular character in Tekken 7 even after all his nerfs

[obtuse nexus]

I honestly like fahk

Wouldn’t mind him returning

It would just be cool to see a redesigned bruce and how he would interact with kaz

[rigid mortar]

i dont get the hype for chloe, like who wants to play her

what kinda of person

[obtuse nexus]

I don’t get it either

To each their own tho

[plucky sky]

I think Lucky Chloe is the only character that would get my friend to play Tekken

[obtuse nexus]

Tekken is losing the dlc war rn

Akuma

Fucking slayer

And then lidia

[rigid mortar]

eddy 🤢

[obtuse nexus]

Don’t even get me started

[wintry dagger]

Tbh Tekken and SF really don't need to be in the DLC war in their first year

[plucky sky]

You guys ever hate fighting Feng?

[rigid mortar]

sf6 doesnt but that didnt stop them from showing off their nukes

[plucky sky]

Like you'll be plus

And then suddenly

[obtuse nexus]

You’re never plus against feng

[rigid mortar]

what does feng mean when he flays his arms around like inflatable waving arm tube man?

[plucky sky]

It's Kung Fu for "knowledge check"

[obtuse nexus]

That’s the only move of his I know how to react to

Bro has 6 million lows

[finite bridge]

Literally bro

COUNTER HIT B1

insane B1 knocks down in heat on hit always

I need to pick him back up and get carried harder

[golden kettle]

I want early concept fahk

Not the abomination we got

[finite bridge]

These ones cracked me up when I saw them

I was like they wanted him to have an emo swoop so bad

Then we just got tekken sagat

[golden kettle]

I hate how giant he is

Bro is comical with how big he is

[finite bridge]

Tekken x Street Fighter unused assets ass character

[wintry dagger]

With Feng getting the "Luke slap on the wrist nerf" all the Drags and Azucena's are gonna flock to him

[wintry dagger]

With no Tiger

[rigid mortar]

really?

i assumed the people who play top tier waifus are going to alisa

[finite bridge]

Chanel like the only waifu main I can think of

Arslan plays chicks a lot but not exclusively, he said he was gonna sub Claudio

The only time I’ve ever seen Chanel pick a dude was when he picked akuma against Knee in grand finals this one time

[rigid mortar]

ive never seen arslan pick a non waifu

and i thought he even tweeted out after azu nerf hes going to a possible alisa

though i think he named 3 names and 1 or 2 was dudes

but im banking on alisa anyway

[finite bridge]

Would not be a bad pick, she is strong and stupid

[wintry dagger]

Stepson is going through a waifu crisis

He doesn't vibe with Alisa, Azucena getting nerfed

Doesnt was to play Lili or Jun because i play them, he's trying Reina and Nina now

Hes running out of waifus

[obtuse nexus]

Reina
Asuka

[wintry dagger]

It took him two matches to drop Reina

[obtuse nexus]

Not a Mishima player

[wintry dagger]

Too many stances

He won't like Lidia for that same reason

And I'm gonna smoke him with Lida too

Can't wait

[obtuse nexus]

LOL

[golden kettle]

Might pick up Azucena after she gets nerfed

[rigid mortar]

my gf friend who mains her said they are happy for the nerfs cuz all the fake fans are going to quit and people are going to stop calling him carried

[finite bridge]

Azucena fake fan allegations are funny lol

[wintry dagger]

@stark salmon has Asuka's charging spinning kick always been a mid attack? I swear I remember ducking it sometimes when we played T7

[golden kettle]

Tbh, I've just realised that she's taken a few Miguel moves

Which doesn't instil me with hope but whatever

[finite bridge]

they gotta bring ur savage man back

[golden kettle]

I'm having fun with Lars tbh

[golden kettle]

They will

Next year probably but they will

[finite bridge]

I am not trying to block razor rush and guess on which of his 62 stances he will enter in tekken 8

Casino Gameplay

[rigid mortar]

man i dont wanna leverless tekken

[golden kettle]

Is he character with the most stances?

[finite bridge]

Lei? I’m not sure

He has a ton

Like all the animal styles

Drunken stance

Can’t think of anyone who notably has more

[golden kettle]

Steve has a lot but idk if he has more than lei

FLK, PAB, DCK, EXT DCK, LH, LWV, RWV, SWY, ALB

Bruh Lei has grounded stances as well wtf 😂

He's got like 12 stances in which case

I honestly think having more than 3-4 stances is just pushing it 😂

[obtuse nexus]

And we would have to learn how to counter them all

I’m good bruh lmao

[golden kettle]

Just to let everyone know

The stances Lei has are

[finite bridge]

And you wouldn’t see him ever anyway… so when the one random lei comes around… instant loss

[obtuse nexus]

Your only chance is overwhelming force

[golden kettle]

Snake, Sitting Snake, Dragon, Panther, Tiger, Phoenix, Crane, Drunken, Backturn, Backturn Drunken, Knockdown, Facedown, Play dead, Slide

So 14 stances

[obtuse nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/gon-hx-h-gon-thinking-gif-19587492

[golden kettle]

Admittedly 3 of them are hardly stances

Lei mains just want him back because they want their time learning this mf to not got to waste

[stark salmon]

unblockable mid yes

[wintry dagger]

Man I swear I ducked under it before

[stark salmon]

not fully charged one

[plucky sky]

I think I just realised something about Tekken 8s ost

Hangar Rules Climax is a remix of Tekken's 7 Glow (Unused Twilight Conflict 2s theme)

https://youtu.be/ZcX3VngxS9k

https://youtu.be/I9LgvqwfmBY

[wintry dagger]

Just now realized my fight pass is maxed out

May as well buy the premium one

[obtuse nexus]

2 more tiers to go
I was worried about doing missions but like
Still 30 days to go and we maxed it out

I will buy it for the crop and the white eyes

The gi from the last tier is also cool

[wintry dagger]

Glad to see 3ddy was no match for Leroy

[rigid mortar]

is there a gap in his string that you can parry?

[obtuse nexus]

Leroy is so bad I just assume anyone playing him knows what they're doing

Worst part is
I'm pretty sure 3ddy is on a higher rank than me
LMAO

[wintry dagger]

Oh sweet child...

I'll clip 3ddy and how Leroy can deal with it

[rigid mortar]

if i get back into the game i was going to force my gf to play him and do the auto combo so i could figure it out

[wintry dagger]

So here's the thing, Leroy isn't a complicated character, at all

Nowhere near Reina levels of hard. But Leroy also isn't Brian levels of difficult to play.

[rigid mortar]

paying this fucking much and it didnt even include the season 1 pass. no fucking shot i was paying more for dlc that we dont know

man im still upset

[wintry dagger]

I'll be your Eddy training dummy if you want

This defensive patch is gonna hit like crack

[rigid mortar]

[obtuse nexus]

[stark salmon]

[stark salmon]

never be cool. Be merciless

[obtuse nexus]

This is the rawest thing I heard all day

Bouta go terrorize ranked

[obtuse nexus]

Stomp AFTER they are KO'ed

Now that's cool

https://tenor.com/view/lil-yachty-drake-oprahs-bank-account-meme-laptop-gif-20803826

[wintry dagger]

Lateral movement as a whole. My guesses are no more tracking on throws, heat burst heat smash, and possibly a buff on sidestep attack damage

And hot take, I'd be okay if some characters had one throw that tracked tbh or if low tiers kept their tracking as a temporary buff.

Reina's unique throw, Eddy's handstand throw (idk if it tracks) Nina's

And no I'm not calling Eddy, Rein or Nina low tier

[plucky sky]

Man, I hope Stonehead at least keeps some tracking

[plucky sky]

https://fxtwitter.com/IchBinGhost/status/1786434991724851367

[finite bridge]

I agree with this, good consolation especially if they want to keep aspects of homing throws

Also good because if you’re just getting thrown out of side step by Reina QCB F2, then you just gotta 2 break it more of a solution than just every throw tracking rn

[rigid mortar]

I feel bad. You just want Dad to return

Jin must pay

[plucky sky]

But he said he’s sorry

[finite bridge]

You’re spitting

I hope they bring Jin doing Genocide up in future story segments

Prolly won’t tho

[wintry dagger]

Im okay with this

Then Lili goes on a yandere warpath

[fickle fulcrum]

I have a clip of something like this happening to me when I fought @wintry dagger

[wintry dagger]

I hit @obtuse nexus with some similar BS yesterday

[finite bridge]

Jin’s reaction: who is Asuka?

[rigid mortar]

how come everyone says her story gets done dirty

did it leave off on a cliff hanger and never resolved?

was she a cool character and then cursed to live on as waifu bait?

[finite bridge]

T5 set her up to be somewhat important and then they just never gave her any story relevance, reduced to being Lili’s sidekick tbh

In her t5 ending (non canon I believe) she fights devil Jin then Jinpachi then like deactivates Jin’s devil form basically

so kind of a hint that the non Mishima kazama’s had some type of control or power w/ the devil gene or something

but they never did anything else with it

[rigid mortar]

sounds like a major plot hole ignored

[finite bridge]

Technically non canon but the type of thing you kinda see arcade era devs introduce into the story that might mean something later

At the time too I bet people were like OMG !!!! ANOTHER KAZAMA!!!! after Jun had been MIA for years at that point

but they’ve never really gone deeper into her connections with the Kazama family, I think it’s just her dad is like Jun’s bro or something

[golden kettle]

Pretty much. FGs stories are almost always afterthoughts

[finite bridge]

yes absolutely

[wintry dagger]

Only thing lore wise i know about Asuka is she's somehow related to Jin/Jun and Feng killed her master and she wants revenge

[finite bridge]

I don’t think he killed him, it’s her dad tho

He like busted her dad’s dojo

[solid stirrup]

Isn't Feng's whole deal is that after he killed his master he went around beating (and killing) all the other masters, save for the ones that are meant to be playable characters?

[rigid mortar]

sweats in ken masters

[wintry dagger]

Ken would cook Feng easily

[finite bridge]

Yeah he killed his own master

[rigid mortar]

if he wasnt so ugly id love to play him

[plucky sky]

I think he’s only canonically killed his own master

Otherwise, Baek was incapacitated by Ogre, Heihachi is Heihachi, not sure if he canonically fought Lei, Leroy kicked his ass and he hospitalised Mr Kazama

I don’t think he fought Wang Jinrei

Can’t think of much other named masters

Generally he’s just been going around dojo’s, beating their masters and claiming their signs

[wintry dagger]

Just like the beginning of the first IP Man movie

[obtuse nexus]

Wow I never caught that

[wintry dagger]

To be fair, Feng came out before IP man movies did. Now whether or not that happened in real life, idk

[finite bridge]

Dojo busting was a real thing I believe

[wintry dagger]

Stepson has officially gone full Unga

Nina main

But if the first hit connect the 2nd is guaranteed or vice versa

[finite bridge]

Word word

[wintry dagger]

He doesn't really spam against me just because Leroy hard counters it

He mad as hell rn

Bruh how tf is he doing electrics?

[obtuse nexus]

Who he playing

[wintry dagger]

Kaz outta nowehere

[obtuse nexus]

Bro bouta grow some hair on his chest

[wintry dagger]

His dad taught him Kaz

I use the word taught loosely

He taught him one Kaz counter hit combo

Man I gotta smoke his dad in Tekken one of these days

[finite bridge]

Did the lobby glitch?

I hit rematch

[wintry dagger]

Yeah he closed the app

[finite bridge]

ohhhhhhh word haha

[wintry dagger]

Another invite should be soon

[finite bridge]

Hell yeah

The adaptations to the Reina stance shenanigans were sick

[wintry dagger]

Bruh his dad forced him to play Kaz mirrors because he got mad at the Alisa/Kaz matchup

[finite bridge]

LFMAOOO

he needs more hellsweep waveu w/ the Kaz but he’s playing p cool

[wintry dagger]

And apparently its much easier to do electrics on xbox

[finite bridge]

I saw him trying to do the 3,1 cancel and I was like word????? Mainmanswe?????

[wintry dagger]

That was me arm chair coaching

He’s gonna free me up!! Nina!!

I hate Nina

Tell him let’s do like one more

Okay NOW one more

@finite bridge just finished dinner so this is probably it

Tell him I say GG’s

[wintry dagger]

Will do

I watched the last few fights and I thought he didn't know Nina at all aside from a few strings

He knew her damn chain throws

Granted all you have to do is hold either 1 2 or 1+2 but still

So the Costumes are 400 Tekken Coins
And the Battle Pass is 600

I'll probably just buy the 1000 bundle for $10

Dragunov’s damage barely got touched lmao

He lost like 8 damage on all of his combos

Besides the optimal like 130 damage one

Which is now down to like 115

[wintry dagger]

@obtuse nexus let me know next time you're on. Found something new with Reina

[wintry dagger]

This patch added Leroy Smith as a free DLC character

[rigid mortar]

hes so cool

[wintry dagger]

That B3 damage buff is crazy mid combo

My bnbs went from doing 63-67 to 75-77 damage

[rigid mortar]

i saw jae saying that change wasnt needed but he aint going to complain

[wintry dagger]

You damn right it wasn't needed but you won't see me complain

You can play Tekken with Leroy now

[rigid mortar]

im patching right now to see if i can even play the game

im going to be a little sad if my controller has the same issue

[obtuse nexus]

Hopefully later today

[rigid mortar]

does leroys df2 not launch?

[finite bridge]

What is it 👀

[wintry dagger]

Df2 1+2

[rigid mortar]

oh thats what i had in my notes but i thought i wrote it as in either or not as a combo lol

i was trying it and i was like wait, shouldnt this be doing what asukas df2 does?

[wintry dagger]

Not tech because I still don't know how tf to play her

[obtuse nexus]

112 and ff2

That's how to play Reina

[wintry dagger]

You're right with FF2 because that move literally plays neutral for you

[obtuse nexus]

I've been using it a bit less
Actually just DF1 and St. 1

[finite bridge]

FF2 is sick

[wintry dagger]

Here comes Sonic and the bandwagon

[wintry dagger]

At least Sonic won't stick with Leroy because he isn't OP

[stark salmon]

They are now forced to Learn Tekken

[wintry dagger]

Feng players are next

[solid stirrup]

I'm surprised he didn't double down on Zafina, since she got buffed quite a bit

[obtuse nexus]

I guess everyone is a day one Leroy now lmao

[solid stirrup]

Day one Leroy in Tekken 7, took a vacation for a few years and just got back lol

[wintry dagger]

Leroy is a lot simpler than Zafina. That definitely factored in

[solid stirrup]

Ah

Well, who am I to question the person who does the "playing the game blindfolded against someone inexperienced" gimmick

[rigid mortar]

i know nothing about the game and its still early but i feel leroy still isnt as good as other characters. hes become fun enough for people who like leroy will enjoy, but not abusable as other characters who are playing top or top mid would be willing to swap

[woeful zealot]

is this oki

[rigid mortar]

@wintry dagger im messing around with leverless on leroy and trying to see how QCF feels and im noticing some times im getting while rising 2 and i dont know how. is it qcf then i gotta go neutral for some frames or something ?

i dont even know if this tech is worth learning

seems like its a faster while rising button?

[obtuse nexus]

I didn't even know Tekken has Qcfs

I thought Electrics were the closest to motion inputs we got

[rigid mortar]

nah some characters have them

leroy does and i think byrian?

maybe nina?

[obtuse nexus]

Yea Bryan has a couple

[finite bridge]

Bunch of characters have QCF’s

Deathfist is QCF

[finite bridge]

Yeah people do this a lot of the time

When Bryan’s do the while rising knee’s really fast they usually input it w/ QCF

[plucky sky]

It's not really a tech

QCF is pretty much combo fodder due to how low it hits and how high it launches

[rigid mortar]

no im saying instead of doing down then while rising 2 you just do qcf and get the while rising

[plucky sky]

I mean, WS2 is usually used to punish stuff like Hellsweeps and stuff

You're not really gonna be preemptively holding down and then launching someone with it

[plucky sky]

Oh, right it's safe high launcher too

But if you're getting WS2 when trying to do the QCF2

Then you're doing the input way too slow

As Leroy's one of the few characters with a quarter circle that isn't attatched to a sway stance

So he shouldn't really be getting WS2

[rigid mortar]

yea i did end up figuring it out. the speed didnt really matter it was returning to neutral that was getting me. if i do qcf then next frame input neutral 2 i was getting while rising

just holding forward fixed it

[plucky sky]

Huh

[rigid mortar]

https://streamable.com/1r5swp

i am understanding leroys parry mind games a lot more. i was treating his parry like baiken does hers. but its to stop people from auto piloting strings and then i guess he has an OS parry when you get them to stop that parrys and if nothing happens he punches. seems obvious now but man game changer when you figure it out

[plucky sky]

Oh yeah, it's because you're holding down for long that you sometimes got WS2

[rigid mortar]

ok but the speed isnt important here

its the neutral input

i can do the qcf slow as hell but as long as i hold forward when i hit 2 i get his shoulder attack. if i do the input hella fast and do the input while im hitting forward i also get the attack

if i do the input super fast and the next frame is neutral i just get 2

if i do the input slower and the next frame i input 2 neutral i get a while rising

[plucky sky]

Yeah

Also advice here, that move is bufferable unlike most other QCFs in the game

Because it isn't attatched to a sway stance

[rigid mortar]

the combo buffing in this game always confuses me cuz im trying to learn not to mash for my combos in sf6 but cuz of the combo buffering in tekken it doesnt seem like theres a penalty for it

[plucky sky]

It depends on what type of buffering

There's an 8f buffer for moves that aren't like in the middle of the strings

But it doesn't include WR moves, stance moves (i.e. EWGF or Deathfist) and similar moves

You can buffer neutral, any directional moves and ff moves

And also, any QCF moves that aren't attached to a stance like Leroy's QCF2 or Jin's QCB 1+3

[rigid mortar]

oh yeah thats way more advance than im use to. ive played 2 characters so far, asuka and leroy and ive just mashed during my combos and havnt dropped anything

[plucky sky]

With Strings though, it's string specific

[rigid mortar]

i forgot ewgf combos are pretty much perfect inputs

[plucky sky]

Some strings have no leniency and you have to input the move before it even comes out

While others are very late delayable like Mishima flash punch, where you can input the 2 extremely late and react if the 11 hit

[plucky sky]

Not really for combos outside of PEWGF combos

Electrics are perfect inputs for punishment

Kazuya doesn't have a traditional 15f launcher

His fastest traditional standing launcher is 22f

[rigid mortar]

i cant remember my combos on asuka but lets say its button into 121, yeah i cant spam the 2 or the second 1 but there was like no risk of me spamming 2 then seeing the move start up hit 21. its not like i was at risk of doing to 111 cuz i spammed

[plucky sky]

Yeah, 212

It's pretty lenient

But you don't use that much with Asuka's combos besides certain starters

[rigid mortar]

yeah i was just giving an example of where i was coming from

[plucky sky]

Asuka has some hard combos tbf though

Post tornado ff4 extensions

ff2, 3 in combos is a bit unituitive to learn

[rigid mortar]

but in sf6 on juri if i wanna do something like 5mp-2mp its better to time the second hit cuz if you mash you risk not getting the second hit, unless you mash at like 150 apm then chances are it will read it

which is what i use to do

and how i did combos in t8 the first time around

[plucky sky]

Honestly, even if it's not as punishing, I think it's still better to try to not mash the inputs

Cause you risk doing full strings on block

[rigid mortar]

yeah ive calmed my inputs down a lot so i hope it can carry over to tekken cuz id hate to go back to that. think the only time ill spam is on block my 15 frame

[plucky sky]

You don't really have to spam it either

8f input buffer

[rigid mortar]

i was unaware of that

leroys 15 frame launcher looks so damn cool

[wintry dagger]

No neutral input required. Its the same input as a medium Hadoken

[wintry dagger]

Maybe the first flip, but the others, no. Bro just does not know how to get up

[rigid mortar]

I know but in sf6 my fireball I do qcf then let go then button and it works. Was an adjustment I had to do from what I'm use to

[stark salmon]

No. Your opponent did not tech roll

[woeful zealot]

It was sarcasm, first one isn't real either

[golden kettle]

Damn they shadow nerfed Steve

Outfox doesn't outfox as much as it should

[finite bridge]

He’s Shaggy

[rigid mortar]

its over, people are going to be playing him for the wrong reasons now

[rigid mortar]

i liked it better when people took pity on leroy mains

dude im watching phidx teach toast taunt jet upper

what is that insane input

i didnt think it was that crazy

[wintry dagger]

I have one evening to learn T8 on Xbox pad

This ft10 between me and my stepsons dad tomorrow is local

[obtuse nexus]

Xbox pad is goated for tekken

Well the series x/s one

[rigid mortar]

after 45 minutes of trying to do taunt jet upper the best i got was being 1 frame off once

now it feels like my fingers are going to bleed

[wintry dagger]

@stark salmon i don't know about you, but from what I've seen all the Azucena players went to Nina

[obtuse nexus]

Steve also looks VERY cool

Just beat one up in ranked
I like him
Might learn after all the others I wanna play before, aka half the cast

Ok
Wtf is that Zafina string that just doesn't end?

[brittle python]

lol was dude doing 10 hit combos or something?

[brittle python]

what stream is this?

[obtuse nexus]

More like a string
I think it started with jabs and then got some lows mixed in
But the moves weren't repeated, so I know he wasn't just mashing jabs or smt

[rigid mortar]

sajam slam

[obtuse nexus]

And there were no gaps, I think

[wintry dagger]

Watch the replay and turn on inputs

Because I have no idea lol

[obtuse nexus]

Will do later
Did my daily missions already
Back to SF6

[rigid mortar]

whats a daily mission

[wintry dagger]

Leroy can't hurt you in SF6

Smart

[obtuse nexus]

The missions that grant points for the Battle Pass

[rigid mortar]

oh

i thought it was like some goals to keep you motivated and playing

[obtuse nexus]

I just maxed it out
Now I'm debating buying it and the kunoichi costumes

[rigid mortar]

without wanting to rip your hair out cuz of pauls death fist

[obtuse nexus]

It does make me turn on Tekken almost every day
I wanted to max the Battle Pass out for the training gi

[rigid mortar]

im just been sitting here for an hour with a controller on my lap thinking about booting up tekken

[obtuse nexus]

About that
Now that the horny went down a bit, I think I'll prob just get the Battle Pass and not the ninja costumes.
I like them, but not exactly THAT much
Skimpier costumes will show up for sure, so like...
I'll prob just hold on to my Tekken Coins

[wintry dagger]

You should kinda see the... creativity with these new costumes

[stark salmon]

i know one switched to Claudio

[wintry dagger]

I am at an impass

If Master Raven was in T8 this would be a no brainer

[wintry dagger]

Man I've been customizing characters on my ps5 while I should be getting used to Xbox pad

Oh well

[obtuse nexus]

Make everyone cosplay Tifa.

[wintry dagger]

I... literally just changed my profile message from "Buff Leroy. Nerf King."

To "Future Tifa main"

[obtuse nexus]

I'm still defending Aerith should be in Tekken
Let me become the zoner everyone hates

[finite bridge]

I’m rooting for u snake u gonna beat his ass

[finite bridge]

It’s okay I bought the Ninja costumes for both of us

[rigid mortar]

taunt jet upper i like impossible for me but its easier on an arcade stick

[finite bridge]

Taunt jet upper so cool

[rigid mortar]

harder to get 1 frame forward with a stick but way way harder to get 1 frame neutral with leverless

10 with Leroy
2 with Jin

Did the last set after he said I only won because they just buffed Leroy.

He played the most basic flowchart Kazuya i think I've ever seen

Wr Uraken,

Headbutt throw into ff4

Heat electrics and heat smash when almost out

never let a friend go 0-13

good call on ending it there

[finite bridge]

No FF3 ob into DF2 Ch setup?

Tell him add that shit next time he online

[wintry dagger]

We aren't friends and I honestly sat on Kazuya on the character select screen during the last set but switched to Jin last second

Should have picked Alisa ngl

[finite bridge]

This would’ve been devious work

if you weren’t friends before you DEFINITELY wouldn’t be after that

[wintry dagger]

He first broke the code 7 years ago and then broke it again 2 years ago.

This was therapeutic for me

[finite bridge]

You’re the goat for winning this grudge match so convincingly, STOMPED

[wintry dagger]

Stepson had the absolute goated response. First match and he goes up 2-0 by catching me with stray rage arts.

Fast forward to the final round i hit him with a Rage art mid combo to kill and during the win screen he says, "Actually Dad, what Leroy meant to say was"

***** Did I just catch you having fun!???

And if anyone here watches The Boondocks you should get that reference

Fuck the Bears man

At least Leroy got a normal hitbox

Also I'll have to ask my wife who Megan the Stallion is, but I may have to thank her one day if Christie ever becomes dlc for T8

[wintry dagger]

PS5 tekken is now weird

[rigid mortar]

y

[obtuse nexus]

Wait
Why?

I think she is a rapper or smt
I just know people LUST over her quite a lot

[wintry dagger]

@rigid mortar check the tekken sub reddit. She cosplayed as Christie for a music video and.... damn

Definitely NSFW lol

[rigid mortar]

the name of the poster

seems right

[wintry dagger]

Harada looks at cosplay as a deciding factor in character rosters

I'm still convinced that T Pain cosplaying Leroy is the hidden reason why he's in T8 base roster

Like how Shaheen is insanely popular with Saudi Arabia players

[obtuse nexus]

Knowing her, I don't doubt it

[stark salmon]

Losing close to 1400 pts in ranked over ONE LOSS

got my rank back and not gonna touch it

like wtf is this

[obtuse nexus]

Lose streak

You cannot lose many in a row

[golden kettle]

So is Leroy actually top tier again or are people exaggerating

[obtuse nexus]

PhiDX made a video about that
I think people 2 or 3 ranks above you do not count for the streak
The win against Leroy just isn't in the equation

[wintry dagger]

You need the anti Leroy tech or you have it handled lol?

[stark salmon]

i read him

[stark salmon]

yeah i checked it later. Not gonna touch ranked because it is stressing me out

[wintry dagger]

Stepson and I binge watched Boondocks last night. Inspired me to make this outfit for Leroy

[obtuse nexus]

I smell new shoes

[wintry dagger]

6 out of 10 moments involves new shoes

And they ain't toll free calls

[wintry dagger]

Bruh people really dropping Jun because she does like 5 damage to herself now?

Like that was all it took?

[stark salmon]

yeap

[wintry dagger]

@stark salmon you up for a few games? Been fighting nothing but King and Lars the past half hour

[stark salmon]

wanna play now?

[obtuse nexus]

I can’t have shit

[wintry dagger]

Same with Jin's U1 from stance

[stark salmon]

they nerfed his broken techs

[wintry dagger]

Saw a Twitter clip that said, "Jin's only banging Xioayu so she'll give him some of her AOP evasion on his moves"

[stark salmon]

LMAOO

[wintry dagger]

@stark salmon no rush but whenever you get a chance can you clip a few Jun combos?

I kinda only know one but its so inconsistent I never use it

Combo in question

Can almost never get the F3 to connect. Even with a micro step

But when it does hit its 83 damage

[stark salmon]

This is more consistent

[cloud yoke]

I think feng should get his own tier, as a treat.
(and for what sins is Jun in C tier ?)

[wintry dagger]

Everyone thinks she's trash now because she does whatever a getup shin kick does in damage to herself

[cloud yoke]

God forbid a character with a gimmick pays a price in something other than the frame disadvantage right ?

[wintry dagger]

Oh and her neutral Heat smash barely gives her recoverable health back on block now

@stark salmon did I miss anything? People placing Jun low tier because she is does permanent damage and Heat smash recovers less health

When nothing else got touched, damage, frames, hitboxes etc

[rigid mortar]

her smash is side walkable now

and leaves her giga minus

[stark salmon]

She is still strong at least A Tier. fuckers dont know how to play her

F1+2 on Heat is a "Fuck you" move and Can turn the tide

Jun is hard to play in higher levels because she cannot attack and does not have "mashable strings"

Joka won yesterday's tourney with Feng but once it started to lose, switched to Reina and did nothing but FF2 Mixes

She needs to take risks with IZU mixes

and that does not deal much dmg

[finite bridge]

FF2 FF2 FF2

Never mind I do not need Julia back I have FF2

Friendship ended with FF1, now FF2 is my best friend

Jk

#JuliaForTekken8

[woeful zealot]

I mean It could also be that knee jerk opinions have cooled. We've see similar things in strive with the release of elphelt and johnny who are initially rated high tier, but quickly plummeted down once defense against them was learned

[finite bridge]

It hard to say yeah

Tekken meta really evolves in weird ways

All it can take is one or two people to really show off a character and things can evolve from there

[rigid mortar]

why play jun now when you can play alisa

[cloud yoke]

I don't think Alisa has as many kicks as Hwoarang smh, does she have a 5+ high 13 frame jab ?

[rigid mortar]

who needs kicks when you have 40k chainswords

[rigid mortar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEIGR3Pum94

[wintry dagger]

And also the knee jerk reaction that Leroy is now S tier seems to have ended

[woeful zealot]

I dunno

My favorite creator said he's s tier and that confirms my biases

[wintry dagger]

Okay main man

[woeful zealot]

Lmao

[wintry dagger]

If all it took was Leroy being able to sidestep after some high attacks to go from bottom 3 to S tier... then idk

Imo all of the Leroy buffs was Harada telling all 8 of us who play Leroy,

"Here's more buffs than you thought you'd get. Don't ask me for shit (regarding more buffs) until like season 3"

[rigid mortar]

i unno if jae walked back but hes just fun to play now

which is all you should want from your main

[wintry dagger]

Leroy is more viable at high level play which is the biggest buff

[finite bridge]

I’m sorry Leroy is S Tier broken evo Japan 2020 wing Chun wing Chun

Someone with a boat load of mids but has ridiculously hard inputs?

Idk maybe Lee just because of the just frame inputs

but not gonna grind seriously nor joining tournaments

Will grind Guilty Gear and asking people how to play Baiken etc.

[woeful zealot]

[woeful zealot]

[wintry dagger]

And mix in a command grab as an added Middle finger

[woeful zealot]

Both Fujin rank

[obtuse nexus]

Definitely fair

[stark salmon]

WELCOME TO TEKKEN *

[wintry dagger]

And of course the mofo quits after he wins the 2nd match

[obtuse nexus]

Tough

Basically robbed you

[wintry dagger]

I was using my Uncle Ruckus Leroy outfit too

No relation

Was trying to think of what Ruckus would say if he got robbed by a Japanese man that can turn into a devil

[obtuse nexus]

Something diabolical no doubt

Everyone on that cast getting flamed but Lily

Oh yea and nina

[wintry dagger]

How Kuma getting flamed by Ruckus?

[obtuse nexus]

Brown

[wintry dagger]

Bear

Raven especially getting roasted

Anna is safe too

[stark salmon]

welcome to tekken lol

[wintry dagger]

Hypothetically, Harada let's you nerf one specific move for the June balance patch but not a universal mechanic. (No nerf Heat smash tracking or throw tracking)

What move you nerfing and how?

[woeful zealot]

hworang

no more left leg

[finite bridge]

King DF2, 1

No longer a counter hit launcher

FF neutral 2 also I’d make it -15 ob

[cloud yoke]

Foolish, it's his right foot you should be worring about.

[golden kettle]

Alisa

No longer available to play.

[finite bridge]

These PC players got like the worst setups in history on Tekken 8 man

Shit is lagging harder than god

Trying to play the game not watch a PowerPoint slideshow

[wintry dagger]

This is why I have cross play turned off

You can literally lag the game on demand by spamming screenshots

[obtuse nexus]

I'd nerf Eddy's 333333333333 string

I didn't get fucked by it, but I might soon and am afraid af

[wintry dagger]

I can teach you how to beat this string in 5 minutes

[obtuse nexus]

Nah, it's fine
Eddy isn't even that common anymore
Which is GREAT

[finite bridge]

it’s interruptible I think after the second hit

[wintry dagger]

I fought 4 straight Tekken Emperors in quick match

[real field]

I have until monday to get ready for a monthly tekken beginner tournament (BAN's if you're curious) and I'm learning leverless after not playing for like idk a month or so

playing reina and maybe a little steve any advice on anything at all releveant is welcome lmao

I'm using a button setup of

top row: 1 2 3 4
second row: heat smash unused unused rage

I'm planning to do defensive and ewgf drills daily until the tournament.

[stark salmon]

In doubt, mash FF2 Rock Paper Scissors with Reina

[wintry dagger]

The fact that this will work too is insane

[stark salmon]

Joka won with it

[wintry dagger]

Tekken never beating the cheese meta allegations

[rigid mortar]

sajam slam part 1 starts today

[real field]

[golden kettle]

Cover his face if you're that bothered lmao

[unborn socket]

haven't played a Tekken game since Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection so hopping into Tekken 8 is going to be fuuuunnnnnn (god please have mercy on my soul)

my sanity these next few days are probably going to go out the window

[stark salmon]

refund it and play something else tbh

[unborn socket]

Nah

I already own something else

Well I guess granblue is still on the table but eh

[finite bridge]

Near Ad is tekken 8’s #1 fan

[wintry dagger]

My wife won't play Tekken with me.. all because I picked King and Rolling Death Cradled her

Three times

[unborn socket]

Naw that’s just a whole nother level of disrespect

[finite bridge]

That’s evil bro

Ur own wife

When i played SF2 w/ my ex this one time I just told her pick Honda, mash the punch buttons, and she beat me free

[obtuse nexus]

I fear the day my gf will start learning FGs
She's that kind of person who grabs things when they're falling
Fast af reactions

If she actually tries to learn, I'll get completely destroyed

I was thinking of Jun and also Dragunov as well but then I was like you know what Reina looks cooler out of the three so imma play her

[wintry dagger]

Its okay to admit you like the "Step on me Mommy" character.

@obtuse nexus does too

[unborn socket]

LISTEN

you should have already guessed it by looking at the character next to my name haha

its not my fault the "Step on me mommy" characters all look cool

[obtuse nexus]

Aba is almost making me buy Strive

[unborn socket]

DEW IT

CRAZY LADY CRAZY LADY CRAZY LADY

[obtuse nexus]

Crazy ladies are the best

[unborn socket]

I like both crazy and "Step on me mommy" characters because they either fit my playstyle or just look cool enough to me that I take the time to learn them

[obtuse nexus]

Buy SF6
Play Aki

[unborn socket]

I do have SF6

you must get strive

[obtuse nexus]

I...
Don't have money
LMAO

[unborn socket]
