I think my favourite thing about Tekken is that the quality of the game is dependent on how good your main is

[wintry dagger]

Now imagine people in T7 when I Leroy B2-ed their panic Rage Arts

[cloud yoke]

So true ! I would also enjoy the game along with people who tell me to "stop mashing" if they wouldn't play characters like Feng or Jin lmao

I just wish Hwoarang wouldn't have an impotent hellspweep or a rising launcher and his moves were consistent

One set against this dude and the Feng downplay is insane

Feng went from SS tier to S tier imo

[obtuse nexus]

Nah
Feng SUCKS
He just lost to Leroy
That should not be possible

[wintry dagger]

Feng was popping all that shit before the match about getting stronger and he got kicked in his chest

[obtuse nexus]

Lol
Cool af
Hate that guy

[wintry dagger]

Leroy or Feng??

[obtuse nexus]

Feng
Leroy is cool

Just not hot enough for me to play

[solid stirrup]

All Feng had was being super busted

Without being overwhelmingly good he's just the guy who's constantly pissed

And that's Kazuya and Jin

[finite bridge]

To be fair in prior games and before tekken 7 like s3, his thing was, he had like all the tools everything u need, except good combos and wall carry

Then they buffed his wall carry lol

I’m excited to try a lil Kazuya haha, combos seem way more solid now

[wintry dagger]

[austere stump]

Who is the scariest character to set this to and why

[wintry dagger]

Feng imo just because he's the ugliest mid 20 year old I've ever seen

[austere stump]

The correct answer was Jack-8 i think

after thinking about it for a bit

[wintry dagger]

Jacks a robot though

Feng is a human

[austere stump]

yeah but he looks crazy

just gonna have to test it out when they add it lol

RIP this dude

[wintry dagger]

Also, @stark salmon, is this an example of "Good Ass Tekken" I've heard so much about lol

[stark salmon]

that was Clean Ass Tekken. Eddy on the other hand did not read patch notes

[wintry dagger]

I should have included round 1 in that Clip. This Eddy mashed after I hit him with a heat engager.

Anyone who mashes when -17 probably wouldn't read the patch notes. Maybe they'd take 10 seconds to find their character and see if there are more up or down arrows on the notes, but that's about it

[wintry dagger]

Convirently leave out Nina

they are not the Jun Players

[wintry dagger]

I wanna know what its like to be S tier. Didn't seriously grind Tekken when Leroy launched sadly

[stark salmon]

just focus on Leroy tbh. It is good to experience other characters but i would suggest to learn fundamentals with one character and apply it with other characters too

[wintry dagger]

I'm kinda like burned out on Leroy right now ngl. Not balance wise but... idk how to put it, game play wise

Question for tekken chat

Dependable on the setup you can spam U to stand up and you will have enough time to do a 10~12 frame attack

It is a simillar situation to Jin's knockdown into electric and Hwoarangs knockdown on the wall into ff3

I gotta stop looking at Tekken reddit

Some people have too much free time on their hands

[solid stirrup]

Going to check Tekken Reddit

[golden kettle]

Don't.

[solid stirrup]

Ah, it's mostly horny

At least the posts, idk about the discussions

There's a racist post which ew, but otherwise eh

[obtuse nexus]

I'm there and all I see is people complaining about the game
It's basically the same as MK Reddit

I can agree to some of the complaints, but they really make the game look like shit
When it's actually in a pretty good state after the last patch imo

[solid stirrup]

The post patch rage seems minimal, so yeah I suppose

[obtuse nexus]

The Reina nerfs are getting me a bit pissed tho

They should NOT have removed the Crouching status from her buttons

Why tf will I use Df4 now?
It used to punish high moves

[finite bridge]

the crouching status stuff is actually big

[finite bridge]

It still does but you have to have some more specific setups for it

https://youtu.be/nDHSl8Yv7Vs?si=gWvuwCOk1Ka3Zv20

[rigid mortar]

you still have an unbreakable throw that tracks

[finite bridge]

ur right because this applies to the exact same scenario

At least not directly the reason lol (grim)

[obtuse nexus]

Yeahhhhhhhhhh
I should've thought

[obtuse nexus]

Honestly
I'm just feeling a bit frustrated with Tekken lately
I don't really know what I need to improve and on the past month or so I haven't had much time to actually stop and take a good look at if
SF6 eating all my free time and Elden Ring DLC on friday is gonna make it worse

I'm also learning Leverless and playing around with Hwoarang, so LOTS of stuff I need to learn to get back into Tekken without really much time and energy lately

[wintry dagger]

Hwo? No more Reina?

[solid stirrup]

Eh, wishful thinking and trying to lighten the mood. I get it

[cloud yoke]

I know roughly how to play hwo, i can help

[wintry dagger]

[obtuse nexus]

I'm just messing around
I don't really know what to do
But yeah, he is attracting me quite a lot

[obtuse nexus]

And rlx
Reina is still main
I just need a secondary and Alisa isn't really doing it for me

[cloud yoke]

You gotta know
The cycle
and
The layers

that's about it

[obtuse nexus]

Gimme the flowchart

LMAO

I cannot execute anything well enough tbh
Learning leverless

[cloud yoke]

Hwoarang does a button, entering right flamingo> Forces a 50/50 Makes an educated guess> Leaves right flamingo for either his normal stance or right foot foward

So he pushes a button to enter his stance

and then does it again

and again

more or less

Rock paper scissor lookin' mf

fr
it goes like

In neutral:
-You press a high + on block
-do a midcheck
-do a low
-grab
-fish for a counterhit
and after that you either:
-press a high + on block
-do a mid check
-do a low
-grab
-fish for a counterhit

[obtuse nexus]

Ok, that does make sense
And looks very cool

Any ideas for which strings and buttons I should use more?
I gues D3,4 is the one for some flamingo into 2 for the plus frames
But what after it?

[cloud yoke]

IHere's some ideas based on previous examples

In neutral (left foot foward, or lff)

-A high + on block
1,2~3 or 1,2~4
They can both get you into either flamingos
3,3~F 3,3,4
3,3F gets you in left flamingo (lfs) and 3,3,4 gets you in right flamingo (rfs) respectively
4,4~F
it's a minus right rfs stance transision but it starts of from 11f so it's fast
-Do a mid check
mid checks from lff are mediocre at best, so it's better to shift to other stances for better mixups
df1 df1,3
df1,3 is a -on block stance transision to lfs, but df1 is only -1 on block
U4
U4 is a 16f mid that puts you in rfs at +2 frames
ff3
A running move that puts you in rff being +6 on block, its startup is lengthy though
ff4
far reaching button that's -7 on block and puts you on rff
b3
Launchable launcher, nuff said
-Do a low
D3,4
one of the best lows, + bajilion on hit, launchable on block, puts you in rfs
db4,db4~F,db4,4
A low commital, far reaching 16f low that can either directly shift you into rfs or frame trap with a high 4 extension
-Grab
qcrb 3,2+4~b,f2+3
those are respetively 1/2/1+2 grab game options that hwoarang has and most of them deal a lot of damage
-Fish for a counter hit
df2
A mid check that will launch on a standing hit (or counter hit)
db4,4
A low that will ground the opponent should either the first hit counter, or the extension hit, afterwards you can follow up with ff3 for extra damage
f1+2
-on block 15f mid that on counter hit you can hit confirm df3+4 for an heat engager

[cloud yoke]

In right flamingo (rfs) you can

-do a high +on block
2
a +5 on block high jab that puts you in rff, nuff said.
-do a mid check
b3
safe on block heat engager that puts you in neutral
df4
+1 on block mid that puts you in neutral
4
14f mid that's -14 on block
UF4
Hopkick, nuff said
-do a low
d4,d4,3 d4,3,4
A pseudo hellsweep
d4 leaves you +on hit in rff
d4,3 leaves you -1 in neutral
d4,3,4 grounds but is a natural string only on a counterhit/in heat
d3,d3,4
d3 is a low that's -on hit and puts you in rff
d3,4 is an extension high that's only -2 on block
-grab
f1+2
Hwoarang has only 1+2 break grab in both of his flamingos so use it respectfully as there is no mixup
-fish for a counter hit
2
You can hit confirm a lot of shit from a rfs 2 as long as it counterhits
df4
Launches on counterhit
f4,f4,4
f4 is a 8f high that's 0 on block
f4,4 is an launch extension that's a natural string if f4 counterhits

[cloud yoke]

I am pretty tired so I will complete this list for left flamingo and right foot foward later

[obtuse nexus]

@stark salmon did your Jun combo structure change with all new changes from the last patch?

A buddy asked me for Jun tips so I've been paying her for an hour or so

I really haven't played her since the spike nerf

how is that ok

[wintry dagger]

You almost never fought Akuma in ranked in T7 and the shit you see pros do with him is so hard on a technical level you would be more impressed than pissed off if it happened to you

Main Man bitches up a storm when he fights something he doesn't like but dammit don't we all?

Yoshi also an acceptable answer

That's me but with Hwoarang and viktor

Nina Yoshi and Alisa plauge blue tanks and higher right now

A tekken God messaged and friend requested me just because he fought my Leroy. And he never fights Leroy

And I learned some new Feng tech from him too

All Alisa players gimmickmaxx and they can't handle somebody who has larger range than a kick

[wintry dagger]

Or don't know what to do if she can't whip out the chainsaws or hopkick

Idk why I was ducking on heat engager tbh don’t know what low I was expecting

[wintry dagger]

Which heat engager?

[finite bridge]

Like whenever you’d heat engage me, the mixup situation after engage

Think you got me with a mid or something like everytime Lol

[wintry dagger]

His shoulder is a mid, the other one is his high power crush heat engager

I kept getting you with the high while you were changing stances

[finite bridge]

No yeah, I’m talking abt after you Heat engage haha

Like when the characters run up after

[cloud yoke]

It's a good thing to know I have to be physically bolted to my chair for the entirerty of the match, no matter the circumstances

[wintry dagger]

I don't take these seriously tbh. Fariborz still afk-ed his way to high on the leaderboards.

Dudes still have a cracked dc rate and still play

And I'm personally convinced Cronos Zen or something has a script for auto throw breaks and low parry. Random players with like 40 defense breaking every single throw I do way too often.

I caught one dude red handed last time I played Jin, like round 3 and this dudes broken almost every non CH throw

I send this dude flying away after Jin's F1+2 and when he wakes up i do a full screen Complicated Wire input, opponent starts mashing 1 from full screen away

[obtuse nexus]

How good or bad is Asuka?
And how easy is she to play?
Still on my search for a secondary, and Asuka looks really hot good

[rigid mortar]

shes so easy shes boring

[obtuse nexus]

Oh
I like that tbh

[finite bridge]

Asuka is a certified peanut character

She like does everything for u

[wintry dagger]

That last sentence approved by Lili

[obtuse nexus]

Gf wants to play Lili
I'll prob just pick Asuka
LMAO

[wintry dagger]

Your gf has good tastes in characters

[obtuse nexus]

I'm honestly not against that for a secondary
But since I never see her way too high in Tier Lists, that makes me believe she might not be that good past a certain level?
Kinda like Marisa in SF6, where she is extremely easy to use and get to Diamond, but you'll never see her in tournaments, because at very high levels she just is not good

Still
Reina is making me feel like I'm doing all the work here
I want a secondary to carry me
But not as hard as Alisa
LMAO

[obtuse nexus]

Lili, Aki and Kitana are the three big mains

I don't really see much similarities, but all cool chars imo

[wintry dagger]

If you want a secondary just to carry you pick one of the S tiers lol.

Nina Jin, Yoshi, Drag, Feng King etc

[obtuse nexus]

Again, I don't want them to carry me too hard
I'm waiting for Alisa nerfs to play her
LMAO

Plus, I don't really like any of those
Maybe Nina, but ehhhhhhhhhh

Jun is a possibility along with Asuka, Kazuya is not exactly easy but is cool enough for me to try, Hwo is cool af but I still don't really get him

Alisa is cute af, but for some reason, I'm not having that much fun playing her
I feel like I do 1, 1, Activate Chainsaw
And then guess for life with lows and mids until they interrupt me
In which case, I just 1, 1 again and get the saws again

[wintry dagger]

Are you trying to improve any part of your tekken skills?

Like trying to improve sidestepping? Small tekken? Tryimg to learn popular gimmicks? Or something else?

[obtuse nexus]

I'm trying to really improve
I wanna be good Tekken player

[wintry dagger]

Whats first on your list of how you want to improve?

[obtuse nexus]

But I feel like Reina is getting me a bit too frustrated
And I might just learn someone else first until I understand the game a bit more, and then go back to Reina

[obtuse nexus]

First of all, I feel like my defense is HORRIBLE
Idek how to get up from the ground yet
I thought holding up/back was the way to wake up block, but more often than not my char doesn't get up, or she wakes up and doesn't really block high/low

And I don't even know why

Idk the gameflow either
I don't really have a plan to follow, don't know how to adapt to their plan

Besides basic stuff like
"This guy is spamming hell sweep, I'll block low"
Idk how to counter good gameplans, Idk when is my turn, how to properly approach without abusing my hellsweep and electrics

So I kinda wanted someone like Ryu
The basic ass character that would prob teach me the game

It doesn't help that I'm forcing myself to learn Hitbox too and can't move around as fast as I did on pad

[stark salmon]

she is great and fun. And Dead easy

[wintry dagger]

B3 goes brrr

@obtuse nexus i found a good defensive Tekken video but didn't copy the link. Ill let you know when I find it again

[finite bridge]

She’s pretty fire in like lower levels for sure, but once you get to higher level of play she’s definitely not AS good… idk if that’s really gonna matter tho tbh, you can play any character in this game, there are no bad characters

[stark salmon]

WR 1+2 and FF 1+2

[wintry dagger]

Is FF1+2 the full combo on normal hit little shove looking move thats only -9 on block?

I fucking hate that move

[stark salmon]

and a mix option for her wr 1+2

[finite bridge]

I hate King

[wintry dagger]

We all do

[finite bridge]

woke up, threw on ranked to try out some Kazuya, immediately get King 😓

[stark salmon]

of course they will make him more busted because he is one of the most popular character in the franchise and make scrubs buy the game.

Whose idea to give him a Mishima Wavedash with Jaguar Run

In any fighting game, a grabler does not have this mobility and needs to be patient to get it.

But NOOOOOOOOO

[wintry dagger]

BuT hIs BaCkDaSh Is TrAsH

I can feel myself turning into MainMan talking about these characters too

I might hate Jun more tho, I do not know the matchup

[wintry dagger]

I can help with that next time you're on

big time need it

I need to go in and lab her stuff too

right after we played I labbed Feng to remind myself of a few things, because I knew I was def dropping some punishes…. His frames are truly disgusting

This is not unique to tekken. I've played celestial mf that do not block meaties

Damn the Xbox series x logo on the box is swagless

Like as soon as I got to character select

It crashed everytime I go to the stage selection

[wintry dagger]

It crashes at every loading screen

Bruv

[solid stirrup]

Remember when you just got the disk and you play it? Good times

Low poly times, but good times

[wintry dagger]

I remember putting discs in my PS2 (Soul Calibur 3, and Def Jam NY specifically because they were scratched to hell) and hoping that "Reading Disc" wouldn't disappear so I could play the games

If "Reading Disc" disappeared, you had to take the game out and try again

Ff1 and Ff2 mixup gonna be fun

Of course Political Storm is a heat engager

She's gonna be hard to learn though

[stark salmon]

ff2 on block is +5

[rigid mortar]

How come she'll be hard to learn

[wintry dagger]

Ff1 is +6

[wintry dagger]

4 different stances, and most of her combo routes transition from stance to stance

Like her hop kick leaves her in... cat stance i think, then from cat you press 2 to air juggle them, and go into another stance, then from that stance I forgot the input

[rigid mortar]

how many stances does raina have

[plucky sky]

3 but like

2 of them are stance stances

1 is just WGS

[finite bridge]

Technically 4

Unsoku is a stance but you only have a few options out of it

Sentai, Heavens Wrath, Unsoku, Wind God Step

I don’t think that stuff is very hard to learn you just need to know what goes into what

Yeah demon paw is a good term for any forward advancing mid, usually w/ the 2 button and usually safe ob

All the Mishima’s in this game have one basically, Reina’s is slightly diff from the version Kazuya, Jin, and Devil Jin have but still fills out a lot of the same mold as those moves

I’m not sure abt Jin’s but they’re also all usually steppable to one direction or the other

Kazuya’s gets a bigger hitbox when he’s devil tho

Maybe it comes out with her early release which is the 22nd

It's one of those 2 dates

[rigid mortar]

how does one go about learning a character like lidia? it cant be has hard as people make it out to be. i just love the look of her combos

[stark salmon]

https://fxtwitter.com/dennymazku/status/1811710821287784653?s=46

[finite bridge]

I say just learn some basic combos, lab and see what moves r good (the IGN guide honestly dropped a few helpful things already, Tekken talk too), learn some of the stance stuff what goes into what etc

Learn some frame traps etc

Some basic punishment

[wintry dagger]

You have T7 and Lidia? If so this will be easier

[rigid mortar]

i have t7

im not going to learn the character before shes out though

going to evo to play sf6 but she comes out a day after i come back from vegas

[wintry dagger]

Id suggest learning her small tekken moves first, then transition into the launchers and setups after getting comfortable

I don't know how her T8 frames will be but in T7 she had a 12 frame F24 that had cracked reach and damage

An easy 11 frame B1 punish

And Political Storm which was her OP 14 frame or regular whiff punish

[rigid mortar]

but like stance character like her and reina at a basic level isnt difficult right? combos are just combos. if you go optimal and very specific stuff its prob a lot harder. then on block strings that leave you in stance you dont need to learn everything right? you can just break the follow up into RPS ya? just trying to look at it in a way so its not overwhelming

[plucky sky]

It’s not combos that make them hard, it’s the pressure

[rigid mortar]

dont suppose you can give me an example so i know what i would be getting myself into eh?

i can jump in vc if its easier

[plucky sky]

It's just cancelled and non cancelled moves have different framedata iirc

[rigid mortar]

how does tekken frame data work? in sf6 it will read plus or minus as soon as both players can input at the same time. why are pros asking if lidias combo that goes into cat stance is actually +15?

[wintry dagger]

Pro are asking if everyone FF2 is +15 on hit because they want to know if there are any guaranteed follow ups

Its +17 on counterhit and gives a guaranteed follow up because the fastest attack from that specific stance is 16 frames

[wintry dagger]

I call BS on Asuka in B tier

[rigid mortar]

Now I got go on Tekken reddit and find it

I hate Tekken reddit

[wintry dagger]

As soon as I found it too lol

But this was the first thing I saw when I opened it

The only thing every Jun player has in common is controlling neutral while she's in heat with default heat smash.

Yes its more easily steppable but it still hits you outta nowhere like an RKO

[finite bridge]

Asuka is better than Devil Jin easy

[woeful zealot]

lmao

[finite bridge]

Nah deadass Jun players feel like they just spam strings

I don’t know the matchup but everytime I fight one I feel like I’m just getting string’d to death

Strings and Light Beams

[wintry dagger]

@finite bridge let me know if you want the Jun reps sometime. Most likely have to play on Xbox though

[finite bridge]

yeah absolutely

[stark salmon]

"Imma place her to F tier because I need cheesy OP characters to win tournaments"

Thats his words not mine.

[stark salmon]

CUNT IS A LILI PLAYER!

[wintry dagger]

Hey!

I almost slightly kinda maybe actually don't take offense to that

Now I finally found a use for those Lili emotes

[finite bridge]

I need to start playing some Lili

[wintry dagger]

@stark salmon you like these Lili emotes lol

[finite bridge]

Where should I go to look to get started

[wintry dagger]

Start with literally sidestepping

Lili and Zafina have the best sidestep in Tekken

[stark salmon]

..................

[wintry dagger]

For some key moves:

1,1 is her 10 frame punish that leaves her in back turn stance. Can also press 3 which is a CH mini launcher

2,4 is also a 10 frame punish that wall splats

F23 is her 12 frame punisher and probably one her best one imo.

B21 is her 13 frame punish and if you tap forward she goes into Dew Glide stance

D1+2 is her power crush

UF3 is her 15 frame hopkick

DF3 is plus on block and is a CH launcher

F4 is her best keep out move. CH launcher

DF3+4 is your go to move if you land a F4 ch

Standing 3+4 is her dragonlash like heat engager. Goes virtually full screen, safe on block but both hits are highs

D3+4 is everyone favorite launcher, Matterhorn

[wintry dagger]

At least they aren't Alisa emotes

[finite bridge]

Thank you so much for this sir 🫡🫡🫡🫡

It’s Lili time

[wintry dagger]

Anytime. I purposely left out combos and back turn moves though in case you wanted to find those out yourself.

Let me know if you need sample combos or more advice

[rigid mortar]

i really hope lidia is my tekken muse

[wintry dagger]

What kind of character are you looking for

[rigid mortar]

one that makes me want to play the game

the bar is very low

Well then can I watch it with you in that case

[cloud yoke]

Tbh I have no idea how to play this character beyond what frame counter tells me

[wintry dagger]

Sorry I passed out early last night

Wife's still sleeping so ill quick clip a few easy combos

[wintry dagger]

@finite bridge sorry it took so long for these lol

[finite bridge]

Ur good! What’s the notation for these

Damn 84 damage on wall splat

[wintry dagger]

Wait there should have been like 5 more

[wintry dagger]

UF43, F4, UF43

[finite bridge]

Notation for this one ?

[wintry dagger]

CH Df3, D12 and hold back after pressing 2, BT34, B1 then hold F, Dew Glide 3, FF1+2 3,2 Forward then Dew Glide 4

I there are easier Ch Df3 combos

Like this one

[finite bridge]

Can u do like most of these w/ like DF2 also?

[wintry dagger]

Yeah most of these work with Df3 and her hop kick of you block a rage art or another -15 move

[inland mural]

Alright so I'm getting ready to take a break from SF6 and try Tekken 8 again. With Shaheen again or trying Asuka

So I might be here pretty regularly next week

[finite bridge]

Hell yeah, ima practice some of these when I get home

Appreciate all the info snaaake! 🙌🤝

[wintry dagger]

Sounds good. Ask questions and ping anyone for games

[wintry dagger]

Anytime. Let me know if you want to run some Lili matches. My Xbox is free lol

[rigid mortar]

when someone says a tekken character is flow charty does that just mean their pressure is just the same and they arent really confirming. their stuff will just naturally flow?

i unno if i explained that well but i unno how else to word it

[wintry dagger]

Technically every tekken character can be flow charty. Its just a repetitive game plan

Alisa is a good example of this. If you stop an Alisa from whipping out her chainsaws, 9/10 players don't know what to do and will crumble under the pressure.

Because all of that Alisa players pressure comes from chainsaws

Or Xiaoyu. If you knock her out of her stances most won't know what to do and will just try to enter stance again

[rigid mortar]

so when they say that lidia looks flowcharty is that a good or bad thing

[wintry dagger]

Remains to be seen but probably not a bad thing

[solid stirrup]

I mean the fact that a lot of her moves automatically put you into the next chance, a flow chart of where you want your pressure is practically a given

*next stance

[wintry dagger]

Like if she has a 3ddy string that will be flow charty imo

[stark salmon]

https://streamable.com/sm3fj2

https://streamable.com/ebfdx4

@wintry dagger I still cannot touch Boost's Xiaoyu

[wintry dagger]

That is the weirdest floor break I've ever seen in T8

Also I'm kinda glad the Xiaoyu's i fight are all button mashers. If I fought a Xiaoyu with like, Brian levels of technicalities I think id quit Tekken for a day or two

[stark salmon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcm76lJGtCQ

1:40. Against boost, I really did my best in tourney but just cannot touch the guy. Need more experience against Xiaoyu

[wintry dagger]

Man he broke your ankles in that second match

[stark salmon]

he downloaded me on the second game

[wintry dagger]

That aop duck on your F4 was a big middle finger

[stark salmon]

whenever i want to go offense he just does AOP

She never had that evasive shit before 8

[wintry dagger]

Wait Kazuya and one brain cell? Thats Alisa's gimmick

[wintry dagger]

Doesn't help that Jun doesn't have many moves that hard counter aop

Hell even 3+4 will whiff

If done from point blank

I actually think Leroy has a good match up against Xiaoyu tbh

A lot of his neutral moves hit her ducking during aop

[stark salmon]

it does not but it is stupidly linear

and risky

in a game that movement is hella busted i rather not. Can can would do the trick

[wintry dagger]

I keep forgetting about can cans

Wait a damn minute

@stark salmon B3 THE BITCH

True

I like him too but he's not explosive enough for me, that's why i picked up victor

[obtuse nexus]

Nah, he is not cool
Pick Reina

[cloud yoke]

My ass couldn't do just frames electrics for the safety of my life if it depended on it, i will stick to victor

[obtuse nexus]

Me neither tbh
But Reina is the Mishima that needs it the less

She is not Kazuya, her electric combos are a bit more forgiving imo

[wintry dagger]

@obtuse nexus you must be counting the days until swimsuit skins

[plucky sky]

Jin is actually

[plucky sky]

Also real talk, 90% of combos that use Electric

WGF will work just the same

The reason EWGF is so important is for pressure and neutral

[obtuse nexus]

I am

Snake to me

[obtuse nexus]

He is a Kazama.
Lol

[plucky sky]

Yeah, but archetype wise

Reina is also 1 of 2 Mishima's with a 13f electric

(Which still, why does she need it)

Also I love Jin's 2nd weakness on Wavu

The wiki is spitting @cloud yoke

[cloud yoke]

The wiki is full of shit if it says "very punishable on key moves,has many high moves that are exploitable with no mid alternative" while putting importance and value on mashing

[plucky sky]

The mashing stuffs a joke

No ones actually bothered setting up a proper key techniques section

[cloud yoke]

Fair point

[golden kettle]

Except King players apparently

[plucky sky]

I meant specifically for Victor

Reina and Paul have like

10+ moves listed
