spiritual bypass posted:How do you find a local tournament? Unironically this used to be the best use of Facebook but I think they lobotomized their local events feature so, uh, I guess it's all on Discord now. If you live in a well populated area you can always just ask goons and there's a good chance you'll get some leads.

Look up esports lounges and arcades in your area and then start finding their online presence. They’ll probably have a discord that isn’t very populated or active but will share schedules of their weeklies

Yeah i got into locals over the summer before work crushed my ability to train and go out on a week night in the fall and made me depressed about my fighting game growth potential lol. Anyway all i did was I asked the LAN thread for my city for some leads and links and showed up at the venues and had a sick time and got peoples contact info and subbed to the tournament calendar on start.gg and it was wonderful and welcoming

finished opening weekend in mid oranges, won my area's first t8 local, then choked and came in 5th in the second. Game owns big time, looking forward to playing it for the next 10 years or whatever they said they were expecting to get out of it.

nice, congrats on doing well at locals. i was gonna go to mine but real life is loving up my tekken time!!! i’ve played like 98% with jun who seems strong, good, and noob friendly as hell. lots of easy extenders from her many launchers and/or CH moves that crumple (?) the opponent and let you fling them around.

Is there a guide to EWGF, or even just the dash part? I feel like my dashing itself is inconsistent; some days I just "get" the timing and nail it most of the time, other days I feel like I'm doing the same thing but nothing comes out so clearly it's not sticking in my head somehow.

PhiDX has a good beginner video that even starts with saying what buttons map to 1234 which not every beginner video does. He doesn't assume you know anything about it, which is nice for fighting game dum-dums like me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D58LncnVbXM

The game suddenly switched me to special controls during a match even though I have it completely unbound, which just meant I couldn't turn it off  I hope that doesn't become a regular occurrence.

I feel like my dashing itself is inconsistent; some days I just "get" the timing and nail it most of the time, other days I feel like I'm doing the same thing but nothing comes out so clearly it's not sticking in my head somehow. If a motion is regularly inconsistent for you that is a sure sign of having internalized it badly due to sloppy practice; probably because you started out doing it too fast. The key to any fine motor skill is to internalize it by doing the motion slowly and deliberately, with full attention (look at your hands while practicing if you need to.) 10 times each side, with at least a 15 minute break in between (to off-set fatigue/mental wandering) each day for a few days (you need sleep to finalize the internalization). Once the motion feels fully natural and comfortable you can begin speeding it up little by little. If you notice a particular piece of the motion giving you problems then isolate that particular piece and practice it separately 10 times before inserting it into the complete motion again. Once the crouchdash itself is smooth and clean, then you can start to worry about the just frame.

It would be cool if practice mode and combo challenges let you slow down the metronome since it's basically the same as practicing music

I’m getting absolutely wrecked lol. I play SF (not 6 yet), GG well enough, smash at very high level but this is just its own thing entirely. Also I’m trying Reina who is a totally new moveset instead of yoshimitsu who I remember vaguely from like, 2002. My Tekken fundamentals are just bad I’m way too aggressive

Real hurthling! posted:Every time i enter ranked i need to rebind it, toggle it off, and unbind it again You can see when the other player turns it on, it appears on their side of the screen (which I think is stupid because it'll make players self-conscious of using it). If you don't, chances are you just hit a legacy player that is still grinding through the ranks.

So I'm new to Tekken and wanting to practice more before I go online, but how does ranked work in this? I know how ranked in for example, SF6 and GBVSR, works--where you do lose points on a loss but can't get demoted a tier until you hit higher tiers like S or Plat. These two have winstreak bonuses up to a certain point as well. I played some Arcade Quest and there seemed to be no penalty for a loss there, no winstreaks. so I was also curious if it's a more tutorialized version of ranked in that mode where it's super low stakes.

Im on like the third or forth color tier and i still cant lose points yet So its even easier than sfvi cause not only dont you rank down, you cant even lose rank up progress at all. Go 0-10 and they are all promotion matches

You should play ranked over casual matches. Ranked will place you vs. people of your skill level (generally true, except for smurfs/new game time needed for ranks to stabilize). Casual will put you vs. whomever, and you don't know if they're TGP or what.

the best way to think of ranked is that it's a means of ensuring relative fairness between matches rather than as an objective measure of your actual skill. even arpad elo admitted that player rating numbers were approximations, and that boiling an individual's skill down to a single number was, at best, an educated guess

The format of having a first to 2 in ranked also makes it so people are going to run high risk high reward game plans and if you aren’t ready or can’t adjust in 2 games then you get steam rolled even if those strategies are not good or stable over a long set. In my opinion it’s always better to mostly run long sets (at least a first to 5) with people as the majority of your play time and then use ranked as a verification of improvement. Grinding out ranked only is an easy way to lose your mind.

I haven’t played Tekken seriously before - played a lot of very casual Tekken tag tournament as a kid and that’s about it Here’s my review of my first attempt at ranked online play: Haha funny lion man chain wrestles. Giant swing go brrrt. I can definitely tell some higher ranked people aren’t taking me seriously for the first set because I’m wearing a hot pink floral shirt and sunglasses but then they change very quickly after eating a 50-K0 chain grapple King rules

Played a bunch in person yesterday, asuka is very cool and I played against a pretty dang good azucena who made her look even cooler than I thought she'd be. Might just start with them and see where it takes me In bracket I got washed by someone with a very good Reina, and when I told him and told him his Reina was sick he just looked at me and said "yeah, I know" grabbed his controller and left lmao

This is what let me understand it - don't think of it as f, *, d, df. Just do f, *, df. Basically tap forward, cleanly release, then tap down-forward (+whatever attack if desired) without rolling it. Frankly I don't even know why they say you have to hit down because you clearly don't and it makes it more complicated.

Reina and Kazuya do not need to hit the down because their wind/mist step counts as a down input. DJ and Jin do need to hit the down.
