Played a bit at MCM earlier today. It's fun but boy howdy am I bad at fighting games. Nina might be my go-to if I get it going forward.

I don't want to dissuade you from using whatever waifu you have your heart set on, but her go to damage BnBs are kind of tough since they rely on hitting while standing moves quickly and consistently

I mained Nina in 1, 2, 3 and 5, but didn't play much 6. Am I in for a bad time wading in with her? I know she's high execution but assuming she hasn't changed THAT much it's probably better that I stick with her than try someone I've got no experience, right?

If it never bothered you before, there's no reason it would now. Her mega hard wall carry poo poo is probably also less important now that everyone has screw attack bnbs.

Absolutely, brosnan knows more than I, and if you already know her move set pretty well go for it. You'd have enough to get away with while you work on the timing of her harder stuff. The other guy just seemed very new, and I feel like there are other characters better suited to someone with little fighting game experience.

What are the characters best suited for complete beginners anyway? I decided on Feng because I think he's :krad: but other than having a million useful attacks to memorize he seems pretty beginner-friendly so I guess I lucked out?

Paul and Jack for Tekken 7 I'd say are the easier inputs with high reward

What resolution is this going to be on the PS4 normal? The entire Combo Breaker stream has been making resolution jokes because of one player complaining that the game resolution was too high or something.

Should I get this for PC instead

Oh yeah I had completely forgotten about that. OP is good though, especially now with the added vids and top moves list :yeah:

Feng is cool and all but I'm definitely playing Kazumi once T7 is out and I'm glad she's in that list in the OP.

I think the general consensus is more people prefer solo play because you only have to learn one character

Watching Tanukana is a joy and made me seriously want to learn Xiaoyu.

On that topic, what are some good Paul players to search for on YouTube to learn how to be less bad? Last time I knew anything about pro Tekken YouTube wasn't even a thing so I doubt the same names would help much.

Kkokkoma, Knee and Chemsae have good Pauls.

Why do people say Xiayou is broken-tier levels of good?

Does it just come down to something like a character has very few moves that are punishable and they have much easier or more damaging ways to punish stuff than most of the cast?

Difference is that doa has universal low catch grabs from some characters but you can pick heihachi and just ff2 her rear end.

I am heavily leaning towards PC for this now. Can I get good at this game on a keyboard? I mean, I've seen custom arcade controllers that are all buttons and even have up where a spacebar would be on a keyboard, so it sounds like people have done it

If you configure your keyboard correctly you can make people whine about backdashes with only 1f of invulnerability

Tekken is one of the few fighting games that a lot of people actually prefer to play pad on (instead of stick), so if you have a Playstation controller why not just use that?

Injustice is also a pad-friendly game because it doesn't have circle motions, but even then, trying to hit diagonal or multi-button inputs can be kind of a problem. I could see how a keyboard might be good on that front.

Also I have a mechanical keyboard so it has the click-clack in its favor :shobon:

That was amazing. JDCR pops up all the time when looking up Tekken stuff, and I hear he's a very good nature'd guy that really goes out of his way to make helpful Tekken related content. It's impressive alone that he managed to get such a win over Saint, who's been a dominant figure for what feels like a long time.

Unfortunately, I got so hyped from the tournament that it sort of killed my drive to play more Injustice 2 during the wait!
