Tekken 5 Tiers?

Off of a non CH d/f+2…

d/f+1,2, d/f+1,2, ff+3,4,3 64 DMG
d/f+1, d/f+1, d/f+1, ff+3,4,3 57 DMG
d/f+1, d/f+1, d/f+1,2,4 50 DMG
d/f+1,2, d/f+1,2,4 51 DMG

Damage rises accordingly to which launcher used. Also, juggles ending with ff+3,4,3, you can hold back during the move to go into Chaos stance right when she lands and then foward to roll towards your opponent for wakeup. If they attack from ground, tech roll or roll back, use the kick from the roll. (3 during foward roll with Anna) The kick tracks very well.

I demand my hairy men!

Two very quick questions

  1. I’ve seen steve cancel his fliker 1,1,into 3+4, how is this done i’ve done it once and it dont seem to be just a matter of pressing 3+4

  2. Raven does he have a non shadow stance reversal? because i swear i see some guy in the arcade yesterday and he was standing face first

If any one can answer those questions cheers

FLK1,1~b puts you back into FLK

FLK 1,1~b~3+4 puts you into FLK, then ALB spin

Raven does not have a reversal outside of Shadow Stance.

Thanks for clearing those two qeurys up for me.

In regards to the raven thing i must have been seeing things!! must have been a crush or something because whatever the guy did i had not seen before, i’ll ask him next time
Does his shadow stance reversal have any other animations other than the shit when he flips over them?

The SDW reversal has only one animation. Raven does have a reversal-like move when he’s getting hit by a string. If you press 1+2 while taking damage, he’ll teleport into his df+1+2 unblockable. It won’t work vs anything that knocks down, launches, or stuns, and the unblockable is damn slow to begin with. Pretty gimmicky, but can occasionally pull in a random win when the opponent is thinking “what the hell…?”

n8’s ganryu sucks… btw…

hmm any good wang combos? Much thx if you guys can give me some combos.

Off the top of my head:

CH1~11 or df+1,1:
-b21, b21, 1+2_qcf+2_d+2,1+2

off CH 4:
-1, b21, 1+2_qcf+2_d+2,1+2
-b21, b21, df1,1

off df2,1:
-UF,4, b21, b21, 1+2_qcf+2_d+2,1+2

off db+2:
-1, b21, 1+2_qcf+2_d+2,1+2

anytime you hit them on the wall, qcf+2…it hits lower than Paul’s and adds plenty more to your combo

Wang combos are dead easy…very easy 40% off juggles will earn you the ire of you friends, until they start blocking your launchers and punishing you for free.

Why is Devil Jin ranked so high? I’m picking him up right now, and while I can see that he’s good, I don’t get why some people say he’s top tier or just below top tier.

if you do 3+4 instead, you’ll do his df+3+4 move. faster. i think it’s called the Blind Ghost.

the ONLY combo you need to know is his BnB: launcher, (b+2,1) * 2, f+1+2 (for carrying them to the wall) OR d+2,1+2 (for oki; you still end up close to them)

because his risk vs reward is pretty fucked. relatively safe mid in b+1 that leads to half life combo. mix that with the sweep and you have a pretty fded up mix up. use ewgf to cut through everything else (including baiting jabs ). combine that with some patience, defense and you have a great character. it just takes some skill to win with.

All the Mishimas are “decent”, but Devil Jin seems to be the tourney favorite recently. He’s my main, and I never expected him to be this high either. Anyhow

His good shit

  1. Easy wall combo that adds 40+ damage to any juggle:
    low wall splat->f+1+4,2->d+3+4
    High wall splat->u+1+2 (up laser)->continue with above combo.

1a) Kazuya has similarly devastaing wall combos, but DJ has a low threat when near the wall that leads to above combo(hellsweep, 1+4, f,f+1+4->wall combo)

  1. b+1->df+2 (parting wave to wgf follow up) is a combo and is guaranteed off low parried kicks. You can also use b+1 off wavedash for mid/low mixup. Even though its slow (clocking in at 17f), it seems to work at least from the videos on tekken.net. You can fish for hits with b+1 because its pretty easy to mash df+2 once you see b+1 hit.

3)spammable df+1. 13f, -2 on hit, +9 on hit

4)Ws+2 is way better than Kaz twin pistons for WD games as although its slower, it has much more range. Just don’t get it blocked against Hei. Don’t remember if Steve gets b+1 combo or if bryan gets f,b+2 on it if ws+2 is blocked

Is it true that Nina has an unblockable?

Something like df + 1, tap up for dodge, cancel dodge with d + 3?

in t4, nina could ss+1 and cancel into a d+4 that was unblockable

dunno about t5.

I’m finding it hard to tolerate the top tier in this game as much I should be.

:stuck_out_tongue:

tiers in my mind:

t1: bryan, steve, nina
t2: DJ, Kaz, Ganny, Feng, and Raven
t3: everyone else except…
t4: Kuma and Lei

but then again, I only play once a month if that and don’t care much at all about T5 cause guilty gear is so much better.

-KDX-

no hei? lmao

its still in the game.
