Emergency patch later this month nerfing Jack and Paul

@delicate merlin abuse Jack's new string while you can lol

[delicate merlin]

Thank you for sharing friend ❤️

i've had to take a hiatus from gaming, but i plan to come back. is there a tl;dr on season 2?

[wintry dagger]

Tldr is EVERYONE is busted

Except Lee, Feng and Zafina allegedly

[delicate merlin]

what happened to my boy feng??

[wintry dagger]

I actually have no idea. Haven't really played S2 much aside from testing out Leroy and Anna

[delicate merlin]

oh right, anna is out!

[wintry dagger]

Also every character got new moves

Also important side note. Community is pissed

[delicate merlin]

when are they not?

even more so than usual? haha

[wintry dagger]

Short story is Everyone expected defense to get buffed in S2. Which would lead to less 50/50 casino guessing. And they did buff sidestepping by letting you buffer it and being able to sidestep left after blocking an attack that would leave you in crouch

In the same patch with the new sidestep mechanics. They added new moves that specifically helped out character weaknesses.

They gave Hwo a tracking low attack because he had difficulty tracking sidesteps

Jun has a +6 on block mid attack that forces you to guess the mixup because "she had trouble initiating offense"

Jack has his new move

Leroy has a +5 on block mid mid sting that leaves him point blank in hermit and has a new CH launch from Hermit

Point is devs doubled down on offense when they were on record saying they'd focus on defense

Oh and they redid ranked and reset everyone's ranks

[west topaz]

Looking for T8 character guides?

Specifically Hwoarang and Law

[cloud yoke]

here's a wiki page for Law
https://wavu.wiki/t/Law
I can personally teach you hwoarang if you wish

[west topaz]

Oh, thanks

I've found a Hwoarang guide too

So now I need to decide

[cloud yoke]

Law is better but Hwoarang has better flow, better whiff punish and rewards off hard reads. (I am biased towards rang)

[west topaz]

Both are very cool. I'm shit at Tekken so I'm at the level of which one is cooler

And it's hard to decide for me right now. Hwoarang was one of my favourites back in the day. But he seems pretty difficult now

[cloud yoke]

He is mechanically difficult in terms of restraint and hit confirms, he also has a wavedash just frame, meanwhile law has pretty much little to no execution required

[west topaz]

🤔

Any particular Law players to watch?

[cloud yoke]

Otherwise he is one of the least interactable characters in the game with explosive mixups (for both fighters)

[cloud yoke]

I dunno i don't play law

[west topaz]

Hwoarang?

[cloud yoke]

Kwiss or Speedkicks

[west topaz]

I meant were you talking about Hwoarang here?

I actually have watched a bit of k wiss

[west topaz]

What do you mean by "for both fighters"?

[cloud yoke]

You die if you get blocked.

[west topaz]

Ah

Do you play Hwoarang?

[cloud yoke]

yes

[rigid mortar]

this is the tekken community right now

[woeful zealot]

He "plays" hwoarang

[west topaz]

What does that mean?

[cloud yoke]

1500 hours

[west topaz]

Nice

[woeful zealot]

Rogue face rolls his flowchart and when you ask him what move he did he does a completely different move

It makes learning from him very easy and not in any way frustrating

[rigid mortar]

me when someone asks what i just did in a fighting game ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[west topaz]

I pressed some buttons

[woeful zealot]

Yeah see there's a difference between "i dunno" and "this one?... this one?... "x4

While the person is also going "I know exactly what move my character is doing because that's the move I want to use in that position"

[cloud yoke]

me when some one asks me to tell me properties of a singular move in a 16 hit string

[woeful zealot]

Then why didn't you do that 16hit string again rogue

@winged karma one of the best crashouts ive seen. spent months unlearning T7 steve and finally got to a point where he felt confident with steve. spent 2 days in rank not winning cuz he was trying to play tekken. found the answer was just getting into heat and mashing, no thought

[wintry dagger]

You playing Eddy?

[west topaz]

@cloud yoke what are Hwoarangs neutral pokes?

I'm seeing a lot of the uppercut?

And jab

[wintry dagger]

@plucky sky @cloud yoke or anyone else really lol.

Anyone playing right now? Can't find a match and wanna see how my Anna does

[plucky sky]

No

Rogue might

[cloud yoke]

In long/medium range neutral you wanna cycle between cd1,4 cd3 d3+4 ff3/wr3 df4

[west topaz]

Oh I don't know tekken terminology. What is cd?

[wintry dagger]

Crouch dash

Or down

[cloud yoke]

It's short for crouch dash

[west topaz]

You can crouch dash?

[cloud yoke]

Some characters have a way to dash foward using a specific input

[west topaz]

[wintry dagger]

Mishimas mostly

[cloud yoke]

For hwoarang (and some other characters) it's F,*,D,DF

Or

[west topaz]

Forward, neutral, down, down Forward?

[cloud yoke]

Foward,Neutral(*),Down,DownFoward

This is what we call a wave dash

commonly

[west topaz]

Ah I see

[rigid mortar]

x to doubt meme

[cloud yoke]

Some other characters have a classic quater circle foward notation

Which is commonly called
sway (for most characters)
Sneak (for dragunov)
and others

[west topaz]

Oh also. I've heard that during heat, characters have unique abilities. What does Hwoarang gain?

Oh also. Is there a way to stance cancel?

Because sometimes I find myself in stance and I want to return to neutral

[cloud yoke]

First of all, all of his moves deal chip damage. In contrast to other characters in the roaster, Hwoarang deals more of it due to how many moves he does (a lot)
Second, he gains critical natural extensions for his launcher ( where it normally wouldn't combo, now he gains new ways to launch you on a counterhit, and it hurts a lot)
Third of all, he gains the ability to perform a knockdown with his hellsweep in Right flamingo (the last hit of right flamingo d4,3,4 isn't a combo outside of heat/counter)

[west topaz]

So in short, his pressure becomes a lot more pressuring?

[cloud yoke]

Unlike other character (ex. Victor) Hworang cannot exit his stance without performing an attack or waiting for it to fizzle out.

[cloud yoke]

His pressure remains the same but reward for it is generally better. He does not get more frame advantage for having heat.

[west topaz]

Damn. That's quite different to most other stance characters I've played

[west topaz]

Gotcha!

[cloud yoke]

That is correct. Note that you can allways cancel his stance with a corresponding flamingo jab that has 13 frames of startup and not a whole lot of recovery

[west topaz]

Is 13 frames low in tekken? Because that sounds like a lot to me

[cloud yoke]

It in theory is. As the golden standard is 10 frame highs (jabs) 13 frame mids and 16 lows

[plucky sky]

10 frames is universal fastest

[west topaz]

10?

[plucky sky]

Yoshimitsu, Raven and Lili have character specific quicker options

Yoshi has a 6f in flash

Raven and Lili have 8f back turn jabs iirc

[west topaz]

Flash is yoshi in heat?

[plucky sky]

No

Flash is a move he always has

[west topaz]

Oh man

I'm getting confused

[plucky sky]

It’s tiny though

[cloud yoke]

However, Hworang has ways to be faster than his opponent, like:

• Simply being plus (he just is on a lot of his moves)
• Performing a powercrush (Hworang the only character in the game with a power crush attack that is cancelable and hit confirmable)
• Right Flamingo f4,4 (it's a counter hit launcher that starts of from frame 8)

[cloud yoke]

Normally in his game plan you don't have to worry about being mashed out of his stance due to his transisions being naturally plus:

• 3,3,4 is a high mid high string that's +8 on block
• d3,4 is a natural low high that's 14+ on hit
• ff3 is a mid that's +6 on block

[west topaz]

[cloud yoke]

Yoshimitsu's flash properties change according to his sword position.

• He can either have it in his hand (where it is a 6 frame startup mid that get's you a heat engager)
• Or have it sheathed (It is now a 8 frame startup mid launcher)

[west topaz]

I'm getting overloaded to be honest

[cloud yoke]

** Yoshimitsu's flash will allways behave like it is sheathed as long as he is in heat**

[cloud yoke]

That's a lot to take in as Hwoarang is not a simple character (he is, in lack of better terms, a rushdown generalist)
and Yoshimitsu's sword gimmick is one of the things that make him powerfull.

[west topaz]

All great information, and thank you

I'll take as much in as I can

But I'm still a beginner

[cloud yoke]

Feel free to ask anytime.

[west topaz]

[cloud yoke]

It is NOT easy to start in tekken mind you

https://tenor.com/view/once-you-start-no-going-back-daddy-talk-gif-12390474

[west topaz]

It's not easy in any FG. But to me, Tekken is so different

3D platform

Different rules

[cloud yoke]

Tekken performs mixup and neutral differently than other fighting games (Strive, street fighter)

[west topaz]

The list goes on, honestly. When it comes to 2D FGs, they all follow a general rule set. Based on SF

Tekken does not

[cloud yoke]

In strive for example, pressure mostly begins from a singular move (cS, kick moves, throws) where you have branching choices of 50/50 and pressure resets
In tekken, your character not only has 50/50 stances, but also can have around 150-300 string moves which you have to recognize the start of to not fail at simple counterplay

In tekken you both have reaction checks and branching mixups resulting in a lot of mental stack

[west topaz]

Well yeah, and this goes deeper into what I said about 2D FGs. Because most, if not all, follow this rule. Basically

[west topaz]

You do also have this in 2D games though by the way

Don't use Strive as your base marker. Use Street Fighter

Anime games are a whole different ball game

[cloud yoke]

Correct, same goes for defense.
In 2d fighting games it's all about character matchup spacing, frame advantage/disadvantage for mashes and risky invincible reversals
In tekken you also have an entire 3rd dimension that you can use your **frame advantage/disadvantage to ** evade rather than mash

[west topaz]

I feel like you have something against mashing?

The term itself is a bit deceiving

[cloud yoke]

Yeah but there's no beating around the bush that the resident tekken 8 grappler has

197 moves

and you better know most of them

[cloud yoke]

Here's a proper term.

[west topaz]

I'm sorry. But are you trying to teach me what abare is?

I think you might be under the impression that I'm new to FGs

I'm not. I'm new to Tekken

[cloud yoke]

I just like to infodump about tekken 8

[west topaz]

Abare is a SF term. Not a Tekken term

[cloud yoke]

It is important to use proper terminology in neutral setting as a way to show respect

[cloud yoke]

It generally has been adopted to wide use in many fighting game communities

[west topaz]

I'm sorry. I might have come across in a bad way there

But, you were talking about mashing in kind of a derogatory way. So I thought you saw mashing as a scrubby technique

[wintry dagger]

Mashing works way better than it should. Especially in tracken 8

[cloud yoke]

It is what it is and I'm not opinionated on abare's in neutral setting

[west topaz]

Well abare is not a technique you'd use in a neutral setting

It's something you'd use on wake up

[cloud yoke]

Neutral setting, as in, while talking about abare's in fighting games in general

not, as in, neutral setting in a fighting game

we can talk about abare's in tekken 8

[west topaz]

Well that's something I don't know about

Abare to me, would be mashing a fast button on wake up. Or while in a block string etc

Usually it would be on wake up

[cloud yoke]

Those are specific examples that fall under the umbrella of pressing a button while under a frame disadvantage

In tekken you also do that

sometimes on the ground

other times you do that with your fastest button

in other times you do so with a move that might not be the fastest, but is naturally evasive

and when push comes to shove, you might want to press a button that simply doesn't get you too punished on hit

[west topaz]

[cloud yoke]

I generalise in this situation because charcters in tekken have a lot of moves and it usually depends on what you want to do

so the best thing right now is to focus on your character

whatever that may be

[west topaz]

Hwoarang

[cloud yoke]

You might not know your opponent but knowing your character is more than half the battle

[cloud yoke]

When it comes to Hworang you wanna break down your character research by goals you can set in a match, like:

• what low should i hit my stand blocking opponent with
• what move should i punish somebody with when they simply wildly whiff buttons in neutral
• what is a string that usually doesn't get me killed
• what combo should i do in this situation
• what moves are plus on block to check mashing people
• what move should i use to check crouching people with

so on and so on

[cloud yoke]

Mind you hwoarang is a button intensive character and there will be a lot of back to back questions

[cloud yoke]

Specifically regarding frame advantage, frame trapping and 50/50 mid/low pressure.

[west topaz]

Yeah this is usually how I like to play FGs

Frame traps, high/lows

Strike/throw

[cloud yoke]

Good for you that Hworang has a full 33/33/33 throw mixup

where a lot of characters get 50/50

[rigid mortar]

whats the extra 1% do?

also who words it 33/33/33 instead of saying rps 🤔

[wintry dagger]

Chip damage for guessing right and breaking a throw

[west topaz]

Get a drink, watch a show, and forget about FGs

[cloud yoke]

That's a X factor reserved for cosmic interference

OVERFLOW (@overflowyouknow)

I was reading through Leroy's patch notes again and I knew they made the cane 16f but what didn't click immediately is that he's +16 after b3 which means guaranteed launcher anytime it hits (once per match at least). There's probably a better combo.

Mf get's a guarranteed move out of any of his 4 stances with +32 frames and he still bitches about not having a follow up on a

• 17 dmg
• -14f on block
• High crushing
• Foward advancing, far reaching
• +6 on hit
  low that shifts into a stance where you have a 14f mid or a 16f low

[cloud yoke]

Yeah and the next fucking thing for hwoarang in the patch notes is a mid-mid string that is

• uninterruptable (no meaningful gap between the first and second hit)
• 4+ on block
• natural string on counter hit ( or in heat)
• foward advancing
• 14 frames of fucking startup for some reason
  Oh and btw this mid string is right next to his hellsweep that deals 39 dmg in heat

There's no fucking mixup now, you just eat the mid

Oh and it tornadoes for some reason

if you had the SLIGHTEST idea to low crush it for some reason

they yassified my fucking mixups with a 50/50

Everyone about to get more health

[rigid mortar]

the buff health in strive did bugger all lol

[cloud yoke]

What is more cost effective measure for dealing with combo damage increased by 20-30 points per character ?

A: Actually changing combo properties of certain problematic moves, their proration, scaling, ect. so your opponent doesn't die by 1 launch and 3 pokes due to bullshit extensions (like Lidia's ff4,3 or 300 tailspins you have added)
B: Give EVERYONE extra health so now you need to tweak EVERY poke move in the cast so "small tekken" doesn't get butchered (Like the lows due to extra health)

somebody outta be fired for this

8 FUCKING GAMES AND THEY CAN'T GET THEIR SHIT STRAIGHT

Unbalanced as all hell

[stark salmon]

there are still counter plays for it. But he was strong yes. Therefore, they made him weak af in 5 and DR.

[plucky sky]

The counterplay is so fucking inconsistent

It's side walk right, which gets caught by Laser Scraper

And laser scraper is -8 on hit, so only 8f jab characters can punish

Like there's literally only 1 way to counterplay bf21:df2

And it loses to bf21df2

Also

21 is +11 on hit, so they're forced to eat the true 50/50 (which some characters can't even step)

Also 124 splats and gives guaranteed d4

To anyone saying homing is fucked, I think it's just because Clive is that big lmao

His hurtbox goes through leroy when he tried to punish and it hit him

[cloud yoke]

This is, by all accounts, player's fault for pressing into an active string.

And this is a problem not only because tekken team is lazy as fuck with hurtboxes but also because the recovery for a lot of strings is a all over the place so a lot of punishes might not work if you wait long enough

In conclusion, we should consider nerfing Devil Jin about it and buffing Lars

they should just not do that and instead kill tekken 8 and revive tekken 5

I am looking foward to whatever the fuck is going to happen at EVO

[plucky sky]

I’ve been watching the set so far up to like 2 and a half minutes

There’s been like 3 laser scrapers and 2 laser annihilators

1 scraper was blocked

And no annihilators have been stepped so far

This proves my point

Watching the second Jin set now

Will also record laser scraper mix

4 annihilators, 1 stepped with an evasive move by Capo (might actually be due to the sloped stage)
2 scraper, 1 blocked

3rd Jin set

0 annihilator, 0 stepped
1, scraper, 1 blocked

4th set
0 annihilator, 0 stepped
1 scraper, 1 blocked

5th set
1 annihilator, 0 stepped
0 scraper, 0 blocked

6th set
0 annihilator, 0 stepped
1 scraper, 1 blocked (though I think it was a failed jf)

1 annihilator was stepped in all 6 of these sets

[stark salmon]

@plucky sky bf 2,1 is Jin’s classic check to side step and parries.

You shared the charged one Furthermore, you call the game broken but i want you to watch the entire tournament. Where is the broken shit?

1,2,4 on hit gives jin a free d1 or oki.

Like you said Laser Scrapper is a mix but mix in 4,5,6,Tag 2,7,8 as well. Like there is a difference between a strong move vs a broken one.

Jin was strong but not broken

Problem is charge.

tekken4 problem was stages not balance of the cast

[plucky sky]

No, unblockable laser annihilator was also an issue

1, 4 was an issue

1, 2, 4 was an issue

I can’t think of any other character who has an uninterruptible unblockable in a string, let alone launching

Like one massive issue with Jin isn’t bf2,1

It’s the same as usual

It’s the fact that he has annihilator

Jin has so many tools in 4 that puts him above the rest

-11 on block hellsweep

2,1 is plus on block

Parry is actionable immediately on whiff

Also like the full laser scraper string is -8 on block

Mid mid mid

[stark salmon]

Im not saying Jin was weak. However, he was not broken. What made T4 competitively broken is stages. Anyone who competed in that game would say the same.

[plucky sky]

But he was literally broken though, most people agree with it

He was competitively dominant

Looked through liquidpedia, and while there’s only 3 results

All three tourneys, were won by Jins

I've been watching a lot of Esports matches since 1999. Most of esports regulation has articles about players who abuse bugs to be disciplined. The same goes for the bugs with Asuka and Paul's charging move. From Friday, EVO Japan starts, and I think @BNEesports has to announce if those moves are bugs or just intented strong moves.

[rigid mortar]

[wintry dagger]

[stark salmon]

i could parry his bs in 7 and 6. Same for Hworang.

i dont want buff or nerfs. Just the ability to parry mid air moves.

[plucky sky]

"Chicken!"

[stark salmon]

get that shit back too!!!!

[plucky sky]

Chicken was awful

It's bufferable

[stark salmon]

It was satisfying to land that though

[cloud yoke]

Being able to parry moves that are currently considered unparryable is a buff and Leroy doesn't need it considering he can fuck with my character more than anybody else

[stark salmon]

It was a core tech of entire franchise. Removing the ability of that is the buff.

Your character’s half of the moves are armoured. Some are homing mid safe. Let us parry it.

Same goes for can can. Let us parry can can!

[plucky sky]

I think most of his "jumping moves" are actually grounded now

I've been parrying hwo's moves with Hei's b1+2

[woeful zealot]

Good

[cloud yoke]

Changing parry status was a core design decision in the making of Tekken 8 and its ramifications were accounted for during the development. Giving that shit raw now after season 2 to Leroy would only make the game worse.

Me having armored moves has nothing to add to the discussion, as all of them have drawbacks or counterplay while being parryable.
I have exactly one airborne homing heat engager,
But it is pretty slow, requires a stance transition and is only +1 on block on a character with absolutely no safe tracking in that situation.
You already counter most of the frame traps I do by showing your parry up my ass, I deserve to call out your parry with a move that is airborne that you can definitely sidestep

[cloud yoke]

The most promising change for airborne status on hwo in season 2 was removing it from two of his 6 power crushes

No idea why they gave a power crush airborne property

Also they should just add extra recovery+block stun to can cans so you can punish them more easily when whiffed

[plucky sky]

Just give them the whiff property

Jabs and electrics have it

[cloud yoke]

The what

[plucky sky]

Moves with the whiff property have different recovery depending on if they hit or not

Example, Heihachi's b4

If it whiffs he gets like an extra 30f of recovery on it

[stark salmon]

I did not say it for Leroy. Personally, I do not even play Leroy. It is a universal tech.

Nina has reversal, Paul Has reversal, Asuka has kick parries, Jin’s Parry etc.

It is a “Defence Option” they removed for Tekken 8.

i’m not able to parry Hwo like I was in 7 and 5. Also, did you mention Side Step? In this game?!

All I want is to see old “universal” defence options to be back in 8

[cloud yoke]

Yeah, you're playing a 3d game, every character has a sidestep, not everyone has a reversal or a parry

[stark salmon]

yeah, I love a 3D Game with movement and defence focused game. Not Guilty Gear Strive Tekken edition.

[woeful zealot]

Poke into parry still works

exactly. Defender calls out a certain move while attacker calls out the parry.

Just throw out parries on minus frames if you wanna, they didn't remove that

[woeful zealot]

good thing I've never done that

[stark salmon]

no they did not remove that yes. However, chicken was an option for the attacker to “reverse” the parry.

Not defensive

8 was challenging in some aspects with a new team for battle & tuning, but we have returned the team structure to the members of the past.
︀︀In addition, the director, Nakatsu, who we all know and love, is now able to check and approve all tuning in detail (he was short on time as general manager, but now he gives final approval for every detail of battles and tuning).
︀︀As you all know, he originally comes from the fan community and was a writer for game magazines and strategy articles, and was also in charge of battles and tuning for TAG 2 and 7.
︀︀ So I don't think there is anything to worry about in the future.

Quoting Alesito (@BlondeBombCLP)
︀
@Harada_TEKKEN Harada, honestly, does the team even know what they want with Tekken 8? Every new patch seems like a new experiment. The disconnect between the player base and the development team is worrying.

I love him immediately but my (VERY LIMITED) understanding is that he's basically tekken's equivalent to slayer

wildly polarizing big damage character with ass defense that's relatively popular for pickrate but also one of the most loudly hated characters as well

[wintry dagger]

OP as Leroy when launched in T7,

had Lili's sidestep and Zafina's backdash,

stupid range,

smaller hurtbox,

Multiple. Delayable. Guardbreaks

ridiculous damage and easy to play

[wintry dagger]

Any idea for the release date?

[stark salmon]

they did not announce the date for Revo on console but download ultimate showdown if you have it

[real field]

I am suspicious

tekken 7 also had 'rollback netcode'

after how long VF has stubbornly insisted they don't need netcode worth a god damn I won't believe it's good until I see it in action with my own eyes

[stark salmon]

PC version and its players speak for itself.

[midnight musk]

IIRC VF 5 got rollback when it was rereleased in like 2021

but then the game faild for having dog shit netocde and being VF 5 again

[stark salmon]

no that version did not come with rollback. That’s Ultimate Showdown for ps4.

PC release introduced Rollback and it is considered the best version right now

[wintry dagger]

@stark salmon I downloaded vf5. No idea when I'll get around to playing it

[rigid mortar]

being a pessimistic doomer im going to say my take that tekken proved. dlc fighting passes should be shown all at once instead of drip fed. imagine playing tekken for this long and all the characters so far except maybe one has been a snooze. people would know if they can quit the game early

[real field]

I choose optimism

[plucky sky]

What about Eddy, Heihachi, Anna and Lidia?

[midnight musk]

how do you doom about a game you dont play lamo

[rigid mortar]

I think you are over selling the word extremely

[plucky sky]

Anna and Heihachi alone account for 7.54% of the playerbase

[midnight musk]

I did say except maybe one and you can't include Anna since she's new everyone's trying her

whats RFS mean in notations

[obtuse nexus]

right flamingo stance

[rigid mortar]

oh

then i need to post this for rogue!

[rigid mortar]

has there ever been a tekken stage that like in a public or private building then you blast through the wall and you are like in the street kicking ass?

[solid stirrup]

The waffle House stage has yet to be made, sadly (not that I'm aware of)

[wintry dagger]

There's a Mall stage in T4 and a fight pit in T5. No blasting through walls though

[plucky sky]

I think the tomato festival stage in 6 has a wallbreak?

Might be confusing it with another stage

[cloud yoke]

Real actually.
This move has no fucking merit
0
It is only natural in heat (which wallsplats granted)
Without it
It puts you into an unforgiveable RPS if your opponent tries to option select you with a sidestep, sidestep jab, sidestep duck (even if he is +4, he gets put in Left Flamingo in which he is extremely linear and his fastest move is a 13f high that doesn't even give any reward)

Compared to his other moves 4,3 without heat just gets him killed for little to no reward

For example, RFS 3~4 is a 16f -3 on block mid-mid airborne string that wallspats and knockdowns.
At -3 you can still sidestep a lot of characters pointblank and continue your pressure with a CH launcher sidestep 3,3 or CH launcher sidestep 4, jab strings or newly added high crushing dark halberd.

RFS DF4 is a mid that counter hit launches and is +1 on block (spaced out so that Hwoarangs first jab whiffs if you don't mash into him)
Both of these moves put you into your neutral stance (LFF) so that you can start playing small tekken
In contrast I do not see the reason to let hwoarang have that move other than a cheap knowledge check and a terrible implication that if you duck his LFS 3,4 (mid,high) you have to be very quick about punishing him so that you don't eat RFS 4,3.

In conclusion it's a stupid move that makes an stupidly absurd exercise on the knowledge exam of the character

[cloud yoke]

Also the 125 dmg 8f counterhit is right there.

I am tired of trying to find tekken info in character discords, on youtube, and resorting to reddit and even tumblr and being met with a smattering of useful information in a flood of negativity that has been ongoing for more than a decade now.

I cannot comprehend why the tekken community by and large is like this. it makes me sad.

[midnight musk]

unironicly, some people dont want to share tech

like, there was a korean streamer who got flamed for telling westerners counter play

[real field]

Disappointing.

[cloud yoke]

Well starting off the state balance for the latest instalment of the franchise was fine, with few outliers that were to be considered. People were mostly ok before the balance team decided to shit on their plate just to appease the casuals. This backfired horribly. They were already complaining about the nature of mixups, the "defensive" patch that ended up being unga bunga 50/50 gg ez didn't help at all.

Other than that very predatory anticonsumer practices
"Yes I did put in the microtransaction shop 6 months after launch so the game sells"
"No, you see that one map isn't free, you have to buy it"
"Here's a sticker you can only use once, here's 400 of them"
"Yes, you will have to pay for imported clothing from previous games"
"No, you can't pay in real money, you have to buy our tekken coins first"
"No you can't collect tekken coins on normal basis, only from the battlepass, which by itself has a normal and a premium version filled with slop"

[cloud yoke]

Personally I've played Hwoarang, Victor and Dragunov so feel free to ask about any of those.

[real field]

I would never defend the microtransaction stuff but the negativity has been going since well before that began and extends well past it is the main thing to me,

and I think like, yeah, no, this current patch kinda sucks overall for sure, and I'm not defending it, but you wouldn't be able to tell a difference in if a guide was made this patch vs last patch vs in tekken 7 sight unseen with how pervasive the overwhelmingly negative attitude seems to be in the community at large

to be clear I'm not saying you're the problem, Rogue. It's that after going to a ton of different servers and they're all basically saying the exact same things, and then looking up older stuff to confirm my suspicion (that they've just always been like this) and easily doing so, and comparing resources from last season, vs tekken 7, it's just so damned draining

[real field]

I appreciate the offer! I've got the quasi-plan to eventually at least get an understanding of the whole cast but for the time being a friend of mine whipped out asuka and whupped my ass, and I wanna learn her because worst case I learn how to beat her, yaknow? before them I hadn't to my memory fought an asuka that knows how to play the game or really the character because lol I'm in green ranks and haven't found any asuka players from a matchmaking ping etc.

[plucky sky]

Understanding the whole cast is gonna take a while

Understanding how to fight them or as them?

Personally I play most of the Mishima’s, Jack, Paul and Dragunov

Snake is a Leroy player iirc

Near is a Kazama player iirc

Deebo is also a Mishima player I think?

[stark salmon]

for resources, check pins. I have included resources links.

As for Koreans, that is a thing for god knows how long. To have an advantage in tournaments, they train hard and share info only to themselves. However, some do share them on twitter.

Last but not least, make tekken replay a good use. Find people’s Tekken ID, Wavu Rank, follow them in game and watch their games. Thats how I learn Jun

I do play mostly Jun/Jin but have Asuka experience. Furthermore, I also can play Reina,Kazuya. You can ask me or us if you need help

[real field]

thank you!!

[real field]

I want to learn the very basic ground floor concepts behind their gameplan, and that will then let me narrow down an actual main or 2 lmao

i.e. "Xiaoyu wants to be dodging your shit, has a bunch of ways to do that"

I can read a list all I want but it's better IMO to feel it

as far as the time investment that doesn't put me off; once the slew of patches slows down I'll be jumping in with the goal of "know how to be pretty alright at this game when tekken 9 releases"

[plucky sky]

Actually that’s only half of Xiaoyu’s plan

She has extremely strong mixups and oki

[rigid mortar]

[real field]

ARMOR KING

[stark salmon]

Silence Season 1 Tekken King!
A Garyu has spoken!

Although to his credit, I did hit this absolutely ridiculous combo

[solid stirrup]

Was hiding one and a third devil Jin/Jack pokes away, deserved

[wintry dagger]

If only Leroy had a gun

[solid stirrup]

Name it Spice

Also I forgot, devil jin has long as pokes, right? Or I'm I just misremembering him fucking flying at you from full screen

[wintry dagger]

You're right. UF1 Mourning Crow

[solid stirrup]

Okay, cool

Been forever since I've seen a Devil Jin in tourney's or the vids I watch lol

[wintry dagger]

If Waffle House can't happen, Popeyes is an acceptable replacement
