Christ, going back to Leo after a month of playing Kazuya is like helping my sister with math homework after spending the entire day doing linear algebra. ITS SO MUCH EASIER OMG
Certainly not dropping Kaz, he’s too much fun for that, but there’s a tournament next week and I need to actually play my best character for that. Still, it’s nice to see just how much playing Kaz has actually helped my overall game. My movement’s way crisper and my decision making is better.
I Tweeted that video to Harada San

[/quote]The frame data stuff on the move list would be really nice. Agree on most of the stuff on this video.
Also on customization would like if they can let you choose which intro and outro you want on your characters. I’m tired seeing my Josie cry after I win a match.
Ah no problem. Yeah I’m from the EU. UK specifically. I’m helping the majority of my local scene improve at Tekken, and most of them are transitioning from 2D fighters. Whereas I started with Tekken and transitioned to 2D.
With Law’s 2,b+2,1, the 3rd hit is duckable anyway I believe. Law players will commonly do 2,b+2 just to leave themselves backturned though, watch out for that. Against Junkyard, you’ll just get used to it over time. Just remember, after Law’s b+2 there’s no Mid followup option, so you can freely fish for the low parry. Any high followup he does you can just punish since you’ll be ducking. Dragon Tail again, it’s a slow sweep eventually you’ll just start reacting to it.
Thank you.
Going more through Law’s movelist and I’m noticing that 90% of the shit he’s able to do is not real and punishable. Looks like a character I could have fun with 
Also was probably because it was getting late yesterday and I had played for 8 hours already. Today I blocked Dragon’s Tail more often but it’s still hard especially if you program the dummy to do 4 things that hit mid or high first and then having to react to a low from holding back.
Noticed myself that I mostly get tagged by lows when walking or dashing backwards when I’m trying to create space. Gotta take a deeper look into that because I exploit that on other people too.
Thanks for the offer though, I’ll take you up on that one of these days.
I just think that the mistakes I make right now are obvious enough for myself to notice, so I’ll save that for when I got a little better at the game.
There’s still so many moves left to explore. I feel like until I know what’s safe, what’s plus and where I can get a punish I don’t have to worry about improving on other things anyways.
Learning all the rules comes first, then I can think about making better gameplans.
so you bobed him?
is this you main now? thought you will ride the katarina wave?
99% of the people I play online are like this and they leave after one match.
The online community for this game is terrible. I even switched to Law instead of Akuma and it’s the same thing, ragequitters galore and people that dip out after one match. No one wants to learn matchups, they just want to mash the two shitty combos they know and if they play against someone who knows how to deal with it they’ll leave.
official video tutorials…the charguides are just…meh.

Well if he did them for every character then you can’t expect them to be as indepth.
*Haven’t watched them myself yet though
Just terrible. These tutorials are a joke.
Katarina is who I learned game with I have no idea who my true character is yet.
Dr.B, Kunimitsu and Bruce(T5DR version).
I’m gonna post community/storyline related things and videos here if you guys don’t mind…
So the latest Wednesday Night Fights T7 tournament happened in Socal yesterday, and the winner was “Tom H” or Tomhilfiger, an OG player.
Basically Tom H was one of top 2 US Tekken Tag 1 players before Tekken 4 came out, and he was the best US tekken 4 player in the early stages for about 1-2 years, probably the only US player who could hang with the Koreans.
Edit: Apparently he actually went on Korean TV and beat some Koreans…lol
He basically made Nina top tier right below broken Jin. So this was in the 2001-2004 time frame. I was around 15-19 back then and remember this well.
I entered the tournament last week and went this week but left early but just caught up watching the vids.
The most interesting thing to me is that last week, he was on commentary during Rip’s match in loser finals.
Basically jokingly but also seriously criticizing the “new school” and using Rip as an example…all in good fun but serious too. It’s pretty hilarious actually.
This is pretty common for any fighting game…the disgruntled OG criticizing the new school…
He said that new school players rely on gimmicks, characters. They also “don’t try hard” during weekly tournaments.
Mentioned that players use different characters, and when they lose, they can say well they weren’t trying…
Mentioned that Socal used to never lose tournaments on their home turf against norcal…and he wants to “Make Socal great again”.
Rip ends up losing the game.
See match here.

Fast forward to this week, he enters the tournament and wins, and follows it up with another speech, preaching fundamentals, and saying this game is good and rewards “legacy players”.
You can’t write this up. Highly recommend watching Tom’s matches, if not for the matches, but for the storyline from the commentators if you are into this sort of thing. Time Stamps are in the description.
yeah my friend was just talking about tomhilfiger the other day
with jack all you have is fundamentals really
I imagine cali is different then ohio because of alot more tekken players spread throughout (plus just larger in general lol)
we had a weekly and had some players come out of town so my friend actually does play them and try
hes the best in ohio so he does random select earlier in pools but hes been playing seriously since tekken 3
knows a shitload of characters
our scene hasnt been as large (it is now as we had a 40 person turnout last week at our monthly)
so the old school players always try hard
Man, it would be easier to learn the game if people rematched. I have essentially 0 matchup knowledge so it sucks when I get roflstomped and the other guy won’t accept the rematch because they probably assume they’re above me or something.
Everyone is just mashing at this level.
rematch system is suck ass lol
should be best of 3 instead of 2
you would think with how hard it is to find matches without disconnects (the online still needs some touching up) people would just stick it out
Oh honestly I’ve had 0 issues finding matches or waiting long for them. I actually like the online quite a bit. All I need is a stable netcode and short waiting times, which I do have.
Its just the people.
Then again Im garbage at this game still so I doubt I could make anyone ragequit.
Edit: played a hwoarang for the first time, he beat me like 3 times using 2 strings because I had no idea what do do about then. One ended mid, one low and seemed unpunishable so he abused them. Then I figured out how to low parry the string and stomped him with an almost triple perfect.
He then doesn’t accept the rematch.
GG.
Doing wr2,4 combos with lee is so fun
Wall carry from one side of the map to the other and still get wall combo? Np
I do wish is was best of 3
As for not rematching, I can understand if I am outplaying them by a large margin to the point they can’t learn anything. It’s different for tekken compared to other fighting games. There are way more mechanics and things to work on that you can’t typically tell someone to just keep playing and learn the matchup
Especially at low levels
Charging up at the end of the match or round does rile me up but that just makes me really want to kick your ass lol
I think I am gonna pick up Josie as a sub. She is as straight forward and also fairly simple like Kat. I like it.
