on the other hand: all that poo poo is boring. you bought tekken for the big rear end juggle combos, so do 'em. Just use df1 a bunch, sidestep when they block it and df2 like I do

For actual Tekken discussion - is there a general guide or advice on sidestepping and when/where to use it? Coming from a 2D fighter background I'm not very adept at using the 3D space to my advantage both on offense and defense so a primer would be really useful for that. :)

A guy from the Goonsgarden Discord recommended this video series a while back that I found very helpful. It was made during the Tekken 7 days but a lot of the advice still applies to Tekken 8

If you don’t like juggles and big combos then I’m afraid this is not the game for you. There’s a lot of other fighting games out there that will probably scratch your itch better

the advice you can take from the PhiDX video is basically :

Run your offence
Power Crush every time you are in a minus situation
Block on wakeup. Otherwise never block, backdash, or sidestep ever

High level Ninas have probably hands-down the best movement in the game and their inputs might as well be an alien language to me

How is it possible to get offended by that? It's so much better than getting called the n word in every other game

victor gunshot teleport is absolutely not real pressure, get in training mode until you duck and launch it every time. and explosion is launch punishable on block. see who teabags then.

you dont even need to duck the gunshot to own him. if you block the gunshot just hit your fastest mid and it'll beat every option he has. You can even go for a straight up launcher if he goes for any option but power crush

Gonna plug the goonsgarden discord again cuz the best/fastest way to improve is to have someone blow you up for your bad habits brutally and repeatedly, and then tell you what those bad habits are so you can adapt.

I won't ever play wifi players for the same reason I won't touch a hot stove. It wasn't a pleasant experience, so I shall not be repeating it.

There's still plenty of other wifi players in matchmaking though, so you shouldn't have much problem finding a game

fighting games love fresh blood but you gotta understand fighting games on wifi is pretty fuckin dire. it's inconsistent, drops a lot, and if you've ever dropped a game winning combo cuz the other guy's router decides it's time to take a nap then you'd understand it sucks to play like that

you wouldn't want to share any other hobby with someone who's just going to make it a gigantic pain in the rear end to play with, why would fighting games be any different?
