I've played 9 games with Ling and have reached 2nd kyu now. If I level up one (two?) more time(s), will every other character also level up, or is that not until I reach a higher milestone? I'm a very comfortable Xiaoyu player and an extremely bad everyone else player, so I'd hate to not have those ten or so low-level fights with all of the other characters.

Every other character levels up to 1st dan when you get to that, so about two games, yeah. I've barely played fighting games before this one so that was pretty terrifying to find out first hand, but I've been doing alright with my second character. I think you'll be fine if you try stuff out in practice beforehand.

That said I'm on PC/Europe so the skill level might not be as high as on console. I still can't do any of my big combos in an actual match and I'm at 3rd dan with both of my characters (Lili & Paul).

I'm guessing it's only live in Europe at the moment, though I didn't notice a download, and there's nothing new in the game's Update History. I'm still getting more 'couldn't connect' or 'couldn't send fight request' messages than I am fights, but I've managed to connect with a handful of players, so EU definitely did get a boost. Hopefully they're still tweaking the algorithm because connecting was way less of an issue in T6 and Tag 2.

It won't be long before 1st dan is basically trash tier, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Just because Liquor's dead, doesn't mean you can just roll this bitch all over town with "The Freedoms."
Played around in practice for an hour or so last night since I'm still unfamiliar enough with Tekken to actually play against real people, pulling off some of the sample combos properly is a good feeling of progression. Having played For Honor for the last few months, it's nice to have a fighting game on PC that's made by people who are competent.

1) They are, you just get boosted to 1st Dan for everyone once you hit it with one char because they want the lower ranks to be for 'literally doesn't know game mechanics' tier.
2) Your treasure mode rank is independent from your online rank, they're different.

Your online and offline ranks are separate, so you won't be punished for having played a lot of offline games. The game does a pretty poor job of tracking your online stats, though. You can find out how many ranked matches you've won in total, but there doesn't seem to be a way to check out character-specific stats.

I offer rematches to the people I beat unless our game was laggy. My memory isn't the best in the world, but I'm almost certain I've experienced the other guy entering the rematch with another character than the one they used when I beat them. How are they doing that? Or can I just not tell the difference between Steve/Bryan and Jin/Lars anymore?

There are other rank boosts later on - I saw Aris get to Brawler, which I think is about 10th Dan, and every other character got boosted to 3rd Dan.

The patch is out in NA now, too. Comes in a 700ish mb update that removes character/rank of your next potential opponent, so now ranked only has the Warm-Up option, but at least it kinda works occasionally.

Paul, Feng, Heihachi, Jack, Bryan, Miguel and Kuma/Panda are all pretty smashy. Feng might be the flashiest of the lot? I hardly know anything about Gigas, but he looks like he might fit the bill as well.

Jack is who I started playin with. He's so so basic, so turtley and so good at being basic and turtley, the perfect compliment to my training-room-only Mishimas (i am a slave to EWGF).

So basically just block? A lot. And punish as hard as you can. Throw out a 2,1 every now and then. Probably a few d/b+1 cause that button is legit. If you want to get a little aggressive you can ff+1 (follow this up with EMGF if you can, or d/b+2 if you can't do it reliably, also ff+1 is safe). Standard d/f+2 launcher but it's got some serious range. ff+3 is also fun to throw out, it's plus on block so.. I guess push some buttons afterward? Throw? I dunno. I'm not gonna pretend I'm good.

Oh and d/f+1,1 is gonna be your screw attack (s!) that you'll use in practically every juggle.

Also, know your command throws. Also, if/when you win, press 3+4 a bunch, alternatively press d/b+1,2,1,2,1,2.


Edit: and since it's kinda on topic, Rage Drive is probably a better use of rage than RA, at least until you/I start playin dudes who can block it on reaction, which i guess is possible.

Thanks for all of this amigo. I thought it was the Cossack Kicks that I was supposed to do if I won though. Help?

Yeah, I'm really digging her. Flip all day every day. I worked on integrating her side hop move today, I can't tell if it's actually good for evasion compared to sidestepping but it seems like a good mix-up tool

Also I wish I could set my customization thumbnail to be the loading portrait

her back + kick seems to get stuffed by everything at close range so it's kinda hard to use it to evade. Sometimes I can confuse low level players by spinning around everywhere then dashing in with a 3 for a flip kick but I don't see these tricks working on people who know what they are doing.

I don't know, I feel like she's pretty fancy :haw:

She was one of the first characters I tried in a Tekken ever I think, of course I was just mashing buttons back then. She's definitely on my list of characters I want to learn better, but I always felt like she was somewhat complicated kinda like Feng? Lots of evasion, crouchdash and backturned moves right?

I know I'm switching characters nearly daily but I'm having a ton of fun exploring the different movelists and playstyles. Maybe it would be a better idea to stick to one character and get really good at it, but I feel like at least I'm learning their movesets which will help me defend against them, and the fundamentals I'm learning are the same across characters. Also getting better at pressing buttons which always helps. And how can I know who I want to main if I have only tried a couple of characters? :3:

My PS4 player friend says that since the patch he's had exceptionally laggy matches. He said pre-patch when MM was busted and all you could was tournaments it was fine but since the patch it's been a lag fest. Anyone else have the same experience?

I got about 30 matches in now in ranked since the patch. Only knock I can put on it is once I got to first dan all of a sudden it took much longer to find matches, which honestly I guess I find understandable as today is the first "true" day of ranked matches since it was busted before.

Match quality in all matches I would rate as excellent, on par with injustice 2. Only thing ranked would really need now is a true 2/3, not this one rematch only jazz and let people sit at a tie.

Aris put out a video asking for unlimited rematches so you can "deathmatch" someone, meaning play them until one of you gets high enough level off of wins from the other that you no longer impact each others rank. Sounds cool but niche

Yes, it does literally say 100 dan, however in reality it's the rank after 34th dan.

Sounds bit extreme, but a true 2/3 ain't too much to ask for. Its the biggest feature I want for injustice 2 as well. Seems so incredibly odd just to leave it at the one rematch.
