Last set

[woeful zealot]

ah ok ok

what can leroy parry

knees and elbows still a no go?

[wintry dagger]

With B2? Literally everything

Except rage arts, heat smash and anything that breaks a parry

[woeful zealot]

airborne?

[wintry dagger]

Yep

[wintry dagger]

@woeful zealot ggs

[woeful zealot]

any suggestions

[wintry dagger]

Oh yeah

[woeful zealot]

throwbreaks is 1 for sure

[wintry dagger]

Do you want me to sugarcoat it?

[woeful zealot]

no

[wintry dagger]

To start with, your play style

[woeful zealot]

ff2 at all costs yeah ik

[wintry dagger]

That was how I planned on sugar coating it

Your gameplay revolves too much around ff2

[woeful zealot]

sure it is one of her best buttons

[wintry dagger]

Yes and its the best way for her to get into horse stance, but she has a move the is even more plus on block and leave you closer

Wr1

[woeful zealot]

skill issue, i have issues with wr moves

working on it but thats why i dont use it that much

[wintry dagger]

I stand corrected lol

Lidia Wr1 doesn't leave you closer to the opponent but it is more plus and you are within hopkick range

[woeful zealot]

ye+6 vs +5

her uf4?

[wintry dagger]

Yeah

[woeful zealot]

ic ic

what can i be doing to be doing better on defense

when you were on a character you were comfortable on, i felt very lost

[wintry dagger]

Id have to go back and watch some replays but my gameplan with Leroy was "Limit ff2 and see how he reacts."

I certainly limited ff2 with Leroy lol and like you said, you were lost

[woeful zealot]

thats not why i felt lost

im not sure what subbing fff1 would have given me

it seemed like you felt more confident in sidestepping and whiff punishing

[wintry dagger]

It would have given me more mental stack to consider.

"Hey, maybe he'll throw out a Wr1 and I can duck in neutral and try to wr2 punish it"

But nope

You would have caught me with more Ff2's

[woeful zealot]

ok legitimate question

why would you take that risk

both lose to ss

and the reward on normal hit ff2 is minimal

[wintry dagger]

Why take the risk and duck?

[woeful zealot]

yeah

[wintry dagger]

Because if I guess right I get a full combo like this. And possibly take about half your healthbar

And if I'm wrong then I get hit and have to guess a 50/50

[woeful zealot]

sorry i misphrased this

why would i want to take that risk

[wintry dagger]

Better on block situation mostly

+6 on block, and the opponent has to worry about your entire kit

Or in Ff2'a case they take the hit and now have to guess the mixup.
(A mixup that loses three out of 5 interactions with a basic jab)

[woeful zealot]

jokes on you

it loses 4 out of 5 options to d1

[wintry dagger]

Another reason to use Wr1 lol

Here's the answer to this question lol

B4 is a high tracking move that guarantees the D1+2 on counter hit

You could also try a generic throw. Which are 12 frames and also homing

Because not everyone has Nina's B2 bitch slap

12 frame homing high attack thats a hit confirmable string that's 50 damage on CH

[woeful zealot]

always forget b4 is homing ty

[plucky sky]

Try inputting f n (delay) f 2

It realigns and tracks

Way more vulnerable to poking though

[woeful zealot]

I think this is just something I need to accept when it comes to learning tekken

There are way more defensive options when it comes to dealing with oppressive moves

[plucky sky]

Definitely

Lidia’s demon paw is like the second best one in the game

(Best one on hit, in certain situations)

But it’s extremely unless you delay it

But then you’ve got to deal with poking games or counter hit

[woeful zealot]

Jin #1 i suspect?

[plucky sky]

God no

Reina

[woeful zealot]

or is it reina

figured

[plucky sky]

Imo

[woeful zealot]

HE on normal hit right?

[plucky sky]

Reina, Lidia, Heihachi, everyone else

[plucky sky]

Kinda, it’s plus enough to get stance 3 on hit

That’s good, but on block?

It’s a similar situation to Lidia

Where she can commit to options that beat mash and such

So yeah

[woeful zealot]

[plucky sky]

Basically all of Lidia’s offence

With a guaranteed normal hit follow up

[woeful zealot]

[plucky sky]

Though Reina can’t snowball anywhere near as hard as Lidia can

Lidia might be the best snowballer in T8

I’ve genuinely seen like

[cloud yoke]

I guess that I have to hold that matterhorn at +5 (the 16f mid doesn't work)

[solid stirrup]

I mean sometimes you just get hit by bullshit, which seems to be Lily's design philosophy from a viewer perspective

I know it's not the ideal punish, but a low would beat that, right?

[wintry dagger]

A mid would beat Matterhorn too

Although the tracking move is the right idea in theory to stop Lili from stepping

Lili just playing 5D chess with Matterhorn

Or got lucky

[solid stirrup]

Yeah, I just assumed it had a bit of an AOP situation to it where you had to be certain the mid would hit

Also from what I've seen of PhiDX Matterhorn is kinda like Cammy's hooligan, where there's definitely counterplay but if you aren't expecting it is when it works best

[wintry dagger]

I wouldn't say Hooligan just because there isn't a 4 way mixup with Matterhorn. And matterhorn can be used as a panic button. Its been a while since I played SF6 but I never used Hooligan as a panic move

With Matterhorn you either hit and launch the opponent or its blocked and Lili gets launched

[solid stirrup]

Ah, yeah

[wintry dagger]

But Matterhorn's built in evasion will bail Lili out of multiple frame traps more often than not

[solid stirrup]

Bad comparison, I was just relating the "it's still viable even if people know the counterplay"

[wintry dagger]

The closest SF6 move I can compare Matterhorn to is... maybe Aki's slide then command throw?

[solid stirrup]

If they know it's coming it's a terrible idea (unless it hits)

[wintry dagger]

Exactly. Kinda like a wakeup dp

[solid stirrup]

I honestly think of OD DP's as closer

Same thoughts lol

[wintry dagger]

I thought that too but there's really no I frames in Tekken

[solid stirrup]

I'm trying to think of comparisons and I just come up with King's atlas hammer

[wintry dagger]

Except for a few when you roll

[solid stirrup]

Yeah, hard to have 1 to 1s with how different the games are

[wintry dagger]

Yeah its tough to compare

Although I do think a Tekken character will be dlc for S3 of SF6

[solid stirrup]

Oh yeah, probably

Which they've already been translated before in Street Fighter x Tekken, so that shouldn't be too hard

[wintry dagger]

Now just gotta figure out which character

Almost certain it'd be a Mishima

[solid stirrup]

Def a Mishima

[wintry dagger]

Or Jin

Probably Kaz

[solid stirrup]

I'm also expecting 1 guy 1 girl, and was having trouble figuring out which one

They may go with having Reina in there

[solid stirrup]

Kinda lumped him into the Mishima's lol

[wintry dagger]

Or Nina

[solid stirrup]

Oh true

Be fucking hilarious if they brought over Lucky Chloe

[wintry dagger]

Id relearn and main any Tekken character in SF6

Bonus points if it's Lucky Chloe just to troll

Imagine if its Kaz and his drive rush is just a wavedash

[solid stirrup]

I just thought of it, but Xiaoyu's AOP is basically 3D Chun's serenity stance

[wintry dagger]

Kaz does a cancellable normal for A plus on block wavedash mixup

[solid stirrup]

Devil Jin's is him flying at you. Only character to have an aerial dr

[wintry dagger]

[solid stirrup]

You think we'll get any SF characters in Tekken?

Besides Akuma, I mean

[wintry dagger]

I doubt it personally but with the emphasis on offense, if a leak came out and said an SF character was in S2, my first thoughts would be Ken or Cammy

[solid stirrup]

Same as COTW lol

[wintry dagger]

Cammy's in Cotw?

Thought it was Ken and Chun?

[solid stirrup]

Oh, my bad I misread lol

Yeah it's Ken and Chun

Buff drugunovs heatsmash

[cloud yoke]

I hate being in a purgatory, this place sucks

[rigid mortar]

then play someone who deserves to be out of it

[cloud yoke]

Factual, I should play really hard characters !
Like Jin or Kazuya. I've heard that they are very hard with little to no options in neutral

[rigid mortar]

no both of those are war crime characters. i dont mean in the sense of their moves i mean they actually commited war crimes and the story glosses over that

[cloud yoke]

I see, i should play yoshi then, i've heard that a lot of his moves are very punishable, so he must be a fair character !

[rigid mortar]

i unno what you are trying to get at. from an outsider looking in there isnt a single honest character in the game

maybe byran or steve 🤔

[solid stirrup]

The only honest character is Miguel

Since he's probably never coming back and can't become dishonest due to this game

Well, I shouldn't jinx him like that. But all that happened is that Jin got his sister killed

[wintry dagger]

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie

Thought you were saying Kaz gets away with war crimes balance wise like the S tiers do

all advanced fundamental techs such as kbd, side stepping etc are not needed in 8.

[wintry dagger]

Except Kaz imo

[cloud yoke]

God forbid that Bryan actually has to play the game and not just lab taunt setups with combos

[solid stirrup]

Something I've been wondering; how much do you think the tracking in this game is affected by rollback autocorrecting stuff

[rigid mortar]

Bryan is hard. He's one of 3 characters that's the hardest to climb with cuz he's so fundy focused

[real field]

not very if at all; you see it in offline matches too

[cloud yoke]

None, there's literally a realignment option on every move and string that's simply turned on

You think that dragunovs b43 is sidesteppable ?
Sure
But every copy of this move on any other character is not and you will still get clipped by it

[cloud yoke]

Focused on "fundamentals"
The mach punch in question:

[cloud yoke]

I think that crushing/mobile moves are in fact crucial to fast-paced, offensive nature of Tekken 8
What I do have a fucking problem is John Robbery and his Chinese friend Feng Shui which both have evasive, side stepping moves and they are not even punishable???! They're mids !?

[cloud yoke]

For this much sugar coatings blud gotta defend Kazuya on Reddit rather than Bryan

[stark salmon]

I disagree

[plucky sky]

Heihachi is hard

He's the only character who got harder in Tekken 8

[stark salmon]

Bryan is the definition of “one counter and die”

[cloud yoke]

No way Raven actually got better form 7 to 8

[rigid mortar]

I've seen enough tmm to know the hardest to play characters in the game is Bryan, kazuya, and steve

[plucky sky]

"TMM"

[stark salmon]

Kazuya is not hard what does he smoke?

[plucky sky]

Tbf, he's one of the harder characters once you get past red

Just because he doesn't have a normal standing 15f launcher

[cloud yoke]

Do you all actually play the game ?

[stark salmon]

in 7, he relied on on-point whiff punishment and pure defence

[plucky sky]

In 7, he sucked

[wintry dagger]

His fanfiction sucks

[solid stirrup]

It really do though

[cloud yoke]

Harada couldn't even keep himself from touching the shovel the second he put it down after burying Heihachi

[solid stirrup]

Harada introduced a new Mishima and gave her the devil gene

And then made like half the cast technically irrelevant to the story

Also, how did Reina get the Devil Gene? Did Heihachi go out of his way to bang his dead wife's sister? Or is it weird genetic experiment stuff?

Also I'm half expecting them to invent a new sibling for Steve by retconning that while Nina was frozen Heihachi took all of her eggs and just made an army of non-irish children of an irish woman with an american accent

Xiaoyu stance swap pressure and specifically the BT mix on Feng. I'm told it's good and watch footage but can't really seem to figure out what the actual rps is when he's in BT

It's been a bit since I've had hands on with Tekken so I can't remember the specifics beyond that

I've tried out a bunch of characters over time but I always come back to xiaoyu and feng

dude the xiaoyu character server is so, like

I don't know what's going on with them but I walked in and went "hey what are some frame traps I can use to get people to stop mashing" and I got several people going "??? frame traps? what do you mean by frame traps" and not one person who knew at all what I was asking

"uh bt 3 is slow and hits people sometimes?"

like,

do they just use AOP for that what is going on

surely this core fighting game fundamental exists somewhere in the entire kit for this character, right?

Can Can is no longer low parriable. WR 1+2 is a slap to the opponents face and her Wall pressure is BEST !

Nah don't sell yourself short. Good job

Nah I said mid jokingly because a lot of people either are hardstuck here or stay here willingly

It took me a month to get here

I was so ass at Tekken you wouldn’t believe

That and picking up a new character I wasn’t familiar with because I last played Tekken back during Tekken 5 DR’s time and I was on Dragunov and king and Lili occasionally

[wintry dagger]

Have you tried those character out in T8? I still find myself defaulting to T6 Lili combos sometimes ngl

[unborn socket]

Not drag but I did play Lili and she feels really nice

[wintry dagger]

[unborn socket]

People do say she didn’t convert well with the Tekken 8 system but idk if that’s just Reddit talking or an actual fact

Bruh take nothing from reddit seriously

Except the memes

Reddit could tell me Leroy is a mid character and I'd have to actually think about it for a second

[unborn socket]

Nah I didn’t see it on Reddit but I’ve just heard it going around but it just sounds like something people would say on Reddit

But after fighting a lot of red rank players in ranked while still being yellow ranks and orange ranks and then fighting people who were on a different character but high blue on their mains

I was like you know what

and since I'm on Reina I'll probably be a stronger player since Mishima's just need to be fundementally strong

She was the first character I played and I found some of the execution stuff was a bit of a barrier at the time

I think I'd do better now

I'm starting to think the word "fundamentals" simply means the ability to flowchart yourself into doing a sidestep launcher rather than intrinsic knowledge of game matchups between characters

@stark salmon I need Jin advice por favor

Combo wise

Like what's the oki setup after this that knocks the opponent face down and its either hellsweep or wave dash 1 mixup

[plucky sky]

Hold down forward

df3~3 transitions into break step

[stark salmon]

After tornado, you can do df 3,3 df for the oki,

df3,3 df (dash) - 1
df3,3 df (dash) df4 (Hellsweep)
df3,3 df (dash) ws 4 (low dmg but safest)
or my favorite

3,3 df (dash) - Hold DF to access FC setups. You can fish your opponent’s timings for a better mix

But the maximum is After tornado you can do

While Standing 1 into Df 3,3

There is a safest one too. You can do DF4 after tornado then do zen mixes

or df4 into f4

A lot of options are available for Jin

Another great OKI Tool ,I would suggest , is f3. On Hit, you ll get free launch for backturned opponents but usually you will have a free mix too.

Here is an example of F3,3 oki

Decided to whip out Eddy and my first match since launch with him was this

[cloud yoke]

Guilty gear type of pressure

[stark salmon]

i counted 4 openings that Lili should have used to slap Law a Matterhorn

Or hopkick

In this game, a lot of characters have stances to gamble. Even though, it seems a strength, it is also a weakness. So, players must pay attention to those stances and use panic or fast moves to interrupt; most cases counter hit

[wintry dagger]

Im also tempted to say that Lili won the round after that wall break too

[real field]

oh lord they're gonna drop the real april fool's joke on us this year huh

[real field]

clive player cries because he's whiff punished with a move that can be used once per match

[cloud yoke]

-It was not a whiff punish, he simply ducked a mid launcher
-The combo length aligned perfectly for all possible damaging extentions
-It's not clive's fault that they allowed leroy to have a 6 hit heat engager that then let's you pick up with a 3 hit otg on the wall for crazy amount of damage
-Having long range, enforcable 50/50 that leads to 70% of your hp (Which effecively means you lost one out of three rounds) is unfun to play against, knowing it's a slaped on gimmick on a character that doesn't need it

[plucky sky]

Honestly, it’s just the HE that’s problem here imo

Staffs a massive gimmick, but man that heat engager just fucking sucks

[cloud yoke]

I know.
Who would win ?
A resource that let's you have enhanced normals (or easier character execution) which let's you have a better chance at the next 5050
OR

a

VERY

cracked string at the wall

[wintry dagger]

[stark salmon]

-which mid did he duck?

• Thats the system issue. All characters can deal a huge dmg with heat dash
• Nah. Clive player mashed and guessed wrong and ate crane combo
• Clive’s Range > all tekken characters’ including guest characters range. - Leroy can use it once.

[cloud yoke]

The Cane

he ducked the Cane
There are no counterhit sparks on this clean hit.
Heat dash is not a system issue

Multiple hit strings that end in a heat dash which you can pick up afterwards are an issue, Leroy has one of them.

Fuck clive but this character has nothing to do with this clip.

[cloud yoke]

Victor ties with Clive in range usage as both sword users with fireballs (where Victor can use his actively in long range as a high hitting harassment tool meanwhile Clives locked behind a stance and is more of a gimmick from what i've heard)

[wintry dagger]

Are you saying Clive's range is locked behind Phoenix shift?

[cloud yoke]

I am saying he has more limited range than Victor

However it is arguing over semantics, his running move is simply too stupid to be that good at catching sidesteps

Like Bryan's mach punch, but that has shorter range and is more managable on him

[wintry dagger]

F1+2 and B1 say Hi

[stark salmon]

no he simply guessed D3 of Leroy. He got unlucky

[wintry dagger]

Or is it B2?

Idk Clive buttons

[stark salmon]

F3 is Clive’s Phoenix Stance. Same as DJ’s New Stance.

[cloud yoke]

well yeah i said so he ducked a mid and ate a launcher for it

[stark salmon]

thats not ducking.

When you say “duck”, you kinda indicate he evades the move by ducking.

[cloud yoke]

Providence is -12 from what I'm remember (they actually made it punishable !) and B1 is a high

[cloud yoke]

I indicated a synonim to a word "crouching"
as in he crouched a mid and ate a launcher for it

[stark salmon]

A move that can hit you from range 3 or sometimes range 3.5 that tracks both sides.

Making the move -12 does not cut it.

Geese did not have that. AKUMA did not have that.

[stark salmon]

ok. For future reference, when you say duck a move, you d state he evades a move by crouching.

[cloud yoke]

Don't worry you have a character which has a high version that which launches on a counterhit and is plus and a mid version which is safe on block.
Oh and both launch.

[cloud yoke]

In retrospect it is impossible to "duck", as in, evade a move by crouching when it is a mid that catches crouching stance.
From this disparity it is not hard to conclude that I ment "duck", as in, he tried to evade or block an attack with crouching stance and got caught as a result, concluding in getting hit by a mid.

[stark salmon]

thats Bryan’s entire character archetype for more than 20 years since t5.

He does not have a power crush move that is safe on range 3 or even 4.

Or Hella easy access to stance mixes

[cloud yoke]

His powercrush reaches from range 3

[cloud yoke]

-13 on block low that deals 25 damage

He's even +5 on it !

[stark salmon]

thats his only low tool.

[cloud yoke]

And ?

[stark salmon]

[stark salmon]

[stark salmon]

Bryan is an Ok character and had those tools for 20 years since T5

Those are normal. You explain Clive’s Db2!

[cloud yoke]

I wouldn't know i don't have the character bought

[cloud yoke]

Ok bozo

[stark salmon]

@cloud yoke quick question. Is Tekken 8 your first Tekken?

[cloud yoke]

Yeah

[stark salmon]

Ok then I will withdraw myself from this conversation. Have a wonderful day

[plucky sky]

The issue here is just how much minimum damage Leroy’s heat engager does on top of giving a full workable splat

Also just wanna point out

Bryan can spend resources for a range 3-4,+5 on block mid with parry properties

[cloud yoke]

Seeing Bryan's do heat smash right after activation physically hurts knowing he has that and an incinerator and 3+4,2

[plucky sky]

Activate heat

SNE Mach punch

SNE Mach punch

SNE Mach punch

Delay SNE Mach punch to catch mash

If your opponent tries to shin kick you on wakeup you can use her Db3+4 low parry then ff1+2 for like 60 ish damage

[woeful zealot]

Yeah or low parry for carry if you need it

Very very awkward situation however

[real field]

why are there not more tekken online tournaments

game has second most entrants at evo why are there so many more online strive tournaments than tekken

[wintry dagger]

My guess would be 3D netcode makes it harder and less attractive for online tournaments compared to offline ones.

This actually a question maybe @stark salmon can answer?

[cloud yoke]

Punishing it with a 11 frame rising because I don't have neither 12 or 13f is painful

[stark salmon]

Unfortunately, the game’s netcode is shit. Like worse than T7.

Due to crossplay, High Rollback frames are making the game unplayable.

Huge connection issues between console and pc.

To give an example, when I play @wintry dagger on PC, we usually have 3 Rollback frame and I usually have a hard time ducking Leroy SS1+2 Machine gun punches. On console, my inputs feel light and can play better games

[wintry dagger]

So pull up on console /s

Unless you don't want your PS5 to get those black dots again lol

[real field]

No way it's worse than 7

Strive added Venom so why the fuck not

[woeful zealot]

If yall are complaining about these things in t8 you won't like strive

And id personally rather deal with all this BS in Tekken 8 than the Drive system, kameos or whatever the hell Strive is now lol

My snake edge is about to get blocked? Nah panic prc and put me in neutral

Why'd you mention yourself twice?

[cloud yoke]

smth for the beggining of season 2

[solid stirrup]

Quick question, though I know it isn't out yet: I know throw techs give chip damage, but is it the same as blocking chip damage or regular damage that leaves recoverable health?

Just asking to make sure they didn't make it so throw techs would kill you outright

[rigid mortar]

is it all throw techs? i thought it was just king while in heat

[cloud yoke]

No way to tell
However it would be absolutely stupid for it to be lethal damage, I am sure that it won't.

[solid stirrup]

Nah, all throw techs have that

Well, once we reach Season 2

[solid stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-paw-bad-luck-final-finger-gif-27051623

Jk lol

[wintry dagger]

From what I've seen its like 5 damage and it's recoverable health

[solid stirrup]

Oh yeah, I knew it was a negligible amount of recoverable health, just wanted to ask the obvious question incase the obvious answer wasn't the correct one

[wintry dagger]

Yeah its just like blocking a move that does chip damage on block

Except you're plus after you tech it

[woeful zealot]

And it's only in heat from what I understood

[wintry dagger]

I stand corrected you aren't plus after you tech every throw

This might be the craziest tekken move Ive seen yet. The only option you have to beat this new Hugo Hulk Gamma Clap is to armor. You can't step it, you can't mash jab, it loops into itself, and he can fake out the jump so it isn't reactable. AND IT COMES FROM JACKS i11 2,1. WTF

You don’t play the game, stop coming here to be negative

Earn the negativity

[cloud yoke]

Don't have to earn the negativity
my main just got a 14f +4 mid-mid string which you just

have to take

there's no fucking counterplay to hwoarang's new mid mid string

Block it ? he's plus
jab it ? you are trading with a wallsplatting kick
power crushing it ? Well now you just take 43 dmg in chip now

If he is + enough (he usually is) you can't even sidestep the fucking move

And his 8f CH launcher is

just

right

there.

I would say it is marvelous but Lee got fucking shot out back with a 12 gauge

[stark salmon]

@cloud yoke you did not see Paul’s bug

or jack’s new Jump move

[cloud yoke]

Yeah he kills you on block

[cloud yoke]

Yeah he just fucking robs you

[woeful zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-try-not-to-laugh-speed-dont-laugh-gif-9393628858940137350

Still -2...

[wintry dagger]

-2 but a hopkick counters any getup mashing

And you could possibly get a ff3 instead

Idk though id have to try it out

[woeful zealot]

I'm pretty sure ff3 is real too

Leagues better than landing it and giving up your turn

But it was mostly a joke since rogue said "no longer minus"

[cloud yoke]

Minus as in
"punishable on block"
(Lidia wasn't in theory due to forced ground on opponent however, she did find herself in a situation where no other move could be used)

Doing some mighty lab work and let me tell you it ain't pretty

[woeful zealot]

Yes getting put in a 50/50 on your own ch was a balance choice of all time

[cloud yoke]

Nah Murray was bored so he had to shoot the closest Polish person he could find ( just as he was handling balance changes for season 2)

In liberal places like this one your allowance in the discussion is generated by the local collective's opinion on your statements. Should your part of the engagement stream be decided as illegitimate, it shall be ignored.

[solid stirrup]

So I just watched a video about the Lee changes, and I know he's one of the few characters to get a bunch of nerfs when everyone else got buffs, but one of the things he pointed out was that Lee now has new string heat engagers that aren't hit confirmable

Is if common for string heat engagers to be hitconfirmable or no? (I know most heat engagers are usually just the move itself)

[stark salmon]

@wintry dagger download 7

[wintry dagger]

I kinda think I already have it downloaded

Played Anna in 7 for a little while last weekend

[wintry dagger]

Most of the multi hitting heat engaged strings I can think of are natural combos so it is kinda weird

[solid stirrup]

Huh, okay

Just trying to get perspective on what the nerfs mean, at least in that instance

[solid stirrup]

I think what the guy was saying is that you can't delay or buffer or whatever to make sure the first part of the string can hit, so that's why I was asking if that's for all of them or is it actually a tangible weakness for Lee specifically

[wintry dagger]

Yeah I don't play Lee so I can't tell you for certain. Twitter claims he got kneecapped but idk

[rigid mortar]

you know maybe ltg can actually win some games after this patch

[wintry dagger]

I'm actually having fun with Anna

[stark salmon]

you bought the season pass?!

[wintry dagger]

Yeah

[wintry dagger]

I'd offer the MU knowledge but I have no idea what I'm doing

But I do know one thing

Launching Jin for throwing a panic D2 was cathartic

And we're ignoring the 2 mashing after

I'm playing her blind lol

I may have to play Lili again

[stark salmon]

what MU knowledge? Just tell me when can I take my turn. We are playing Tekken Gear Strive 8

[wintry dagger]

I haven't figured out negative frames yet but my 2 hour anti Anna guide so far is..

1. She has a snake edge and it legit doesn't look like a snake edge. 30 frame startup and -26

2. Panic dick jab string thats -11

3. She had a wr power crush move thats -14. Also has a while crouching instant tornado df2

4. Generic throw game including throws from hammer stance

5. Anna isn't launch punishable from having anything from Chaos Judgement blocked. Worst she is is -13
