My fighting game bestie who hasn't seriously Tekken'd before is getting into this game and seems to be settling on Dragunov. I couldn't be happier. Dude is iconic as gently caress and I like playing against him.

I was feeling actually kind of anxious about getting back into Ranked. Learnt three launches and one combo with Jun (and not optimal, but easy to execute on demand), went online and, uh, yeah, in low ranks nobody stops doing unsafe poo poo at you, do they? You just poke them until they panic and try to do a random launcher, then we're off. And by easy, I mean dumb as gently caress for 68 - b43, b212, ff2f2. E: Oh, and abusing nobody, just loving nobody, breaks df2+3. EE: gently caress, realised you can nearly assemble Jun's TTT2 outfit from parts (The stole and the hairband are in there), but you miss out on the 'crows' pants & top. That's somehow more annoying than it not being there, we're so close to her best outfit! EEE: (Sorry!) I've just found out 8's replay mode will actually pause and give you gameplay improvements? And you can take the game back over and try them? WHAT VOODOO SORCERY IS THIS? https://x.com/Aurryuken/status/1751670441570140385?s=20 Shockeh fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Jan 31, 2024 |

So glad it’s actually Lenne Hardt. NJPW used a ring announcer who was a (presumably cheaper) complete imitation of Hardt for one of their big events a few years back. Looking up whether or not it was her also taught me that she has been the in-game voice of Anna Williams since Tekken 5.

It's amazing, make sure to check the button for punish practice as well since it lets you run repeats on the move you hosed up with. Also, after checking the replays and what you did wrong you can download the ghost of the player that messed you up. Though obviously imperfect and non-adaptable, it can be really handy to try out counters against the poo poo they were doing to you. Orv posted:
Haven't labbed them in 8 but Leo was a really solid and well-rounded character in 7, they could go from solid neutral to pressure and mixups in a blink. Main thing that held them back was that their combos were a little finicky to get down and not amazing without a wall. Their df2 was also a great whiff punisher, but unsafe, so a little practice and precision required to not get hosed up using it like you should.

Monicro posted:xiaoyu is hella buffed in this game, her real pain point in 7 was not having good approach options and ff4/f2,1,2 are insane buttons they gave her and she can legitimately bully her way in with them now lol. you can play her as standard or as gimmicky as you want but that + hypnotist being fleshed out into a legitimate pressure stance gives her way better options in a ton of situations she used to struggle in. Cheers. Yeah I hopped online last night after some beers and essentially no t8 ling knowledge and won a bunch with my rusty t7 skills. I used her a bit in TT2 also when that dropped on games with gold on xbox (online is still lively on xbox for that and t6 which rules). Actually technically I used Miharu because she's a funny character and the camera selfie throw is one of the greatest troll moves in tekken history. I really hope someone makes a T8 version of this soon https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11ETDnPJuku2ref3PzODMpZ4y7e5_wfILR2aPv83WpSw/edit#gid=369227785 Was EXTREMELY useful for picking up chars quickly. Kinda annoying to rifle through random youtubers videos to find out the best BnBs atm

shaheen is definitely only still around because tekken likes to have a few simple "easy to learn characters" and to pander to Saudi. Literally everyone I've seen online groaned at his inclusion. Kazumi was a much better "beginner" character that had way better design and enough gameplay stuff going on to be fun to play.

I'm playing too many games. But adding a FG never hurts. I never played Tekken seriously but this is a golden age for FGs, I might as well try and learn some fundamental. So I've futzed around in training and ended up choosing Lili. Solid hits and good mobility. Too bad there's so few customization options for ladies, I wanted to give her a proper gi.

Calling Shaheen a character isn’t even correct, the man is a cardboard cutout of a sheet of legal paper. Unrelated, I think in every Tekken overview I’ve ever seen I’ve heard Nina referred to as really hard to execute but I’m not sure anyone has actually explained why. What up? I’m doing my usual “you know I could play someone other than a grappler” fooling myself tour and her move list seemed cool but not necessarily worse than anyone else?

With evil mist simplified, Nina's execution issues come primarily from her Hayashida step, sidestep 1 cancels, and her butterfly loops; the first two are likely to be really impactful in T8, jury's still out on the butterflies (but then I always thought there were more show than practical). She also has a very large movelist with a lot of situational stuff, so she can lead to analysis paralysis until you are fully comfy with her. But she's also a known scrub killer and it doesn't take much to just cheese people out with her. I mained her in 7, you can ask me what you want about her.

No joke, Kazumi is at the absolute top of my hope to see return as dlc character list, and I don't even play her. She was such a hit at both casual and tournament level I think they'd be insane not to consider her. All you need to do to justify it is say she's haunting Kazuya because he's a nerd. All protests of folks who think a character being dead in a fighting game matters are officially resolved.

Weird Pumpkin posted:Do you have to do the D2,3, *4 super tight or something? This is what it looks like in practice. SA doesnt allow .gifv embeds so you can click on that. Basically after the d2,3 you have to walk forward just a split second in stance before landing the 4 or the whole thing falls apart (so press and hold forward right after d2,3). It's really finicky timing but once you get it the rest of the combo is easy. https://imgur.com/a/JKI3tDJ What I started doing is noticing visually where the opponent was in the air consistently before throwing the 4. You essentially throw the 4 right before theyre about to spike the ground. Diagram below. Press 4 while walking forward at the moment the opponent is near that part of the juggle. Basically right as their head is touching the ground. You want to do it nearly as late as possible without the combo dropping. It's frustrating at first but itll quickly become muscle memory. e- Also don't throw out launchers on round start lol. That guy wasnt very good so I was trying a bunch of random stuff.

Ah gotcha, I might stick with the 2 damage less variant just to make sure it's basically impossible to drop but it's good to have the max damage variants as well And god, playing against the newer players at the bottom ranks I've gotten into such a bad habit of trying to just bait whiffs and launch. I know it's a bad idea when I run into someone else that can play the game but it's just so satisfying
