Saudi has thrown a lot of money at (everything, but also) esports and gaming. Also Zafina is on the roster btw. Sidenote- I think it would've been cool to get a Pakistani character in the game to tip the cap to how great their emergence during t7 was and how big their results have been.

I just fought what might have been only the 2nd Xiaoyu I've ever faced and each and every round she'd lead off with some weird low kick/slide combo thing that i'm too dumb to avoid so 2nd game I'm like "I got this"  https://streamable.com/hr0lsd

I kinda do feel bad for newcomers at the moment lol. I started T7 about a year into the game cycle and in ranked everyone was as crappy as me and same with casual. Casual and ranked are filled with people on 0 points who were high level t7 players. That should adjust itself in due time. I get it though, I didnt touch ranked for a week because I wanted to learn a whole new character and and the new system. What I'm getting at is things will level out soon enough.

Jun fun tech, that I'm sure I'll look back at in 6 months and think 'You fuckin' clown Shockeh' * b1 (Violet) is a slow (29f) starting low leaves you on +6, and on CH, turns into a Throw. It's cool, Jun and Asuka have had it forever. It makes you VERY low, but I haven't checked how many things it goes under. (Gut instinct? A lot.) * b1, however, can be cancelled by holding down, leaving here in Full Crouch. And then the fun begins. * Jun has a throw (FC db+1+2, requires a 1+2 break) that toss them vertically in the air behind you (and fucks the Tekken 8 camera, it really can't handle it) and absolutely is a combo starter for literally whatever you fancy doing. You can guess how many players so far have managed to break that Throw, after you get a move that comes in low, and they've either tried to block or Parry it. (It's zero. Absolutely none.) It's utterly basic, Day 1 stuff, but it made me feel clever, at least.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI0YODDaKLU Shockeh fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Feb 2, 2024 |

I have not played Tekken in ages but picked this up to celebrate my new apartment where I finally have wired Internet in my bedroom where I play games again. Being stuck on WiFi made me essentially quit fighting games for multiple years. Dabbling in Feng and Azucena so far, I'd be a lot better at either of them if I just picked and labbed for a while but it is too drat fun to just queue up and fight people even while having very little idea what I am actually doing.

That seems like a really reasonable distribution of character choices, honestly. It looks like a huge disparity on that graph, but it's close enough where individual experience can run completely contrary. Like personally I've seen a bunch of Howarangs and Ninas and even a few Kumas, but I don't think I've fought Vincent once. Kind of a refreshing change after wading through the Sea of Kens, honestly.

Yeah it's only covering the top 10,000 players so it's going to skew to the "pick a top tier" playerbase too lol

I was surprised to see how low Feng is. I'm partially playing him because I did on ps2 years ago but also from the buzz I've heard people mentioning he seems strong and a good choice to learn with.

Nazzadan posted:His d4 has very long range as a good non-committal low poke, d3 is a bit stubbier and has worse frames but in exchange on CH you get d3,2 for decent damage and in 8 if you hold 1+2 on the 2's hit he goes into his install state Yeah d4 was what I was thinking about, though it is nice to know that d3 has a place as well, cheers. Motion inputs like qcb for something like a premiere low is always a bit tricky, if you've played other fighters before then it's no biggy, but if Tekken is your first fighting game then motion inputs do actually take time and practice to get right in a match. But with some good stuff like d4 there are at least alternatives.

I don't think he'd lost a game yet

I think I'm that person you're describing since this is my first Tekken since 3? Yeah my formative T8 experience has been in ranked - the whiplash of playing a Claudio who let me raw db2+3 over and over because "how do I dodge low?" Straight into a Leo with a 23 win streak (which I added to!) Thankfully the tools on-hand in the game are pretty good at telling me where I went wrong and what I can do better next time. I think otherwise the only person I ran into who was definitely at the wrong rank was a Kazuya with very oppressive pressure. I'm definitely not discouraged and the lack of rank loss at my level is a godsend at keeping me from tilting, its been a super enjoyable experience so far.

Cat Machine posted:I actually kinda enjoy going up against undercover Tekken God Primes because you get a fun preview of what a character can really do  It's a really useful test of "hey does this actually work?" which, in my case at least has resulted in mostly "oops no, now I'm dead" but ya gotta learn somehow! Speaking of learning, is there a way to just take control of a replay? The tips functions is great, but it's shown me once or twice that a string is duckable but not let me actually take control of the replay to practice ducking it. Also I've seen a few strings that are -10 that I'd like to try and build muscle memory for punishing, but it never seems to give me the chance and as far as I can tell there's no "give me control of the replay" button?

I do have the RS and LS buttons on my arcade stick so I'll try booting that up and see if it works? On PC though so the buttons are probably totally different Looking at the bottom of the screen/pause menu it just didn't seem to say anything but I figured there must be a way. Thanks!

I feel like there's a lot of sneaky macro players out there. Like, absolute shitters who can't block to save their life, have no concept of spacing or movement around the arena, know precisely one combo, but can chain EWGFs flawlessly 9 times in a row.

You get automatic ewgfs in heat. Or they just practiced electrics only. I don't play mishimas but doing ewgfs with a 2+3 macro with a left shoulder button on my pad made it a lot easier. Like from a 20% chance of hitting a proper ewgf to 70% immediately without additional practice

If you play any Mishima in Special Style you can do perfect electrics by just pressing triangle - could be that

The last time I played a lot of Tekken was Tekken 5, so I've been out of the loop for a while. My only criticism of Tekken 8 is the inclusion of both Panda and Kuma. Feels like a waste of a character slot.

But Kuma just does his usual roaring with no dialogue in brackets underneath. Then again Kuma's intros are kinda buggy - he doesn't have an intro with Xiaoyu outside of his character episode, but whenever he beats Xiaoyu in any other mode he says "Yay! I'm getting married at last!" As if he beat Panda. Either the line isn't meant to play or he's supposed to use his character episode lines "If I win, let me marry Panda!" And "Now I can marry Panda!"

So I'm trying to learn Lili (and the game in general), and aside from a combo or two, I want to learn good moves to use. Since Lili is in 7 there are ton of older resources out there in addition to new ones. With the way Tekken builds upon its previous releases, is some of this 7 stuff still relevant? For example, I found a video that details 15 of Lili's moves as a "starter toolkit" to memorize and start implementing. This seems like a really good start but I have no idea how to tell if it's still relevant. The video in question: https://youtu.be/1NAx04ecqBY The movelist it provided: 1. d/f+3 2. qcf+3+4 3. d+3 4. ff+4 5. df+1 6. 1,2 7. f+4 8. qcf+1,2 9. 3,1 10. df+3+4 11. BT1+2 12. f+3 13. 2,4 14. f+2,3 15. Matterhorn (d+3+4) I would definitely appreciate some input whether this is still potentially a good starting point or not. I am on the Lili discord, and have some more spreadsheets (like the T8 Library cheatsheet doc), but they're a little intimidating and I'm still learning to properly decipher some of them.

Not experienced enough at her to really say since I'm only just starting to learn her as well, but can you link the docs? I've got a link to the cheatsheet one which is great, but more info is pretty much always better
