TEKKEN 7 | Lounge

Just play them both. It’ll benefit you in the long run imo.

You know auto pilot is definitely an issue when one is learning a new character. I keep auto piloting with Master Raven and it is making me lose to bad players. Gotta stay sharp and start thinking more about what I am doing.

I perform way better with Lars and Katarina because I am way more comfortable with them. Hopefully next week I will be able to play against any other members of the cast because they mashy tendency of the Howrang players really set the tone and make me go off rails.

sometimes i forget about the added hilarity the character customization in both Tekken and Soul Calibur bring to the game.

ladies and gentlemen… Skeletor trying (and failing) to forcibly feed He-Man pizza.

god fuckin bless you Joel, it’s a shame he’s not more known for his fighting game footage.

is there a reason why Josie gets a straight kick that crumples you on block? i mean besides the game being bullshit alot?

Um…what? Lol

f,F,3

FF3 with Josie is pretty slow, can be sidesteped or even stoped with a cr.jab.
If you block it, she’s + on block.
Seems balanced to me.

So my neutralgame is decent again, but I still suck with most combos. I slightly get better.
Frankly I often find out better combos on accident, rather than on purpose.
No I will not look Combovideos/Guides up.

Knee and JDCR handshake happened.

Adding T7 onto 3S and SFIV for gaming events that keep me up this late in the morning.

That was a really, REALLY good event to watch. The last part at grand finals felt a little off (outside of 2-3 rounds), but without considering that, it was fun to watch.

I’m watching the archive right now and holy shit that Saint vs Kkokkoma match was fucking insane.

What’s the story behind this ? Did this not happen before ?

I watched the stream just for this.

I don’t know the specifics, but Knee and JDCR famously hasn’t been on talking terms for ages. Rumors had it that they’ve buried the hatchet recently, and this is supposedly the first tournament in years where they’ve shook hands after the games.
I mean, they didn’t shake hands after winners finals, only after grand finals, where the commentators noted that “this hasn’t happened for ages”.

Also winners finals was one sick set. Everyone’s going to be stealing that backsway tech against Dragunov now. I think Leo might use b+3+4 in a similar manner, gotta keep that in mind.

I didn’t catch the whole thing yet, but I saw Knee vs Take. I liked where the crowd chanted for Bryan and Knee picked him.

This game is so sick to watch.
I never felt this for Tekken 6.
Also, I knew Kazumi was under-rated after getting wrecked by her online. Not surprised to see her up there in top 8.
The precipice is such a good stage for Bryan.

#random organized thoughts.

Done with the archive and holy shit there were so many down to the wire close ass matches and sick time outs, that tournament was really fun to watch.
It’s insane how the game changes its face when played by top level competition.

Can someone please link or pm me the archive I would like to watch it when I get home since I use Feng

Posting it here since this is mandatory watching regardless of who you play.

I gotta say I had no idea the phillipines are big on tekken. They seem just as high if not higher than the US.

Tekken is all popular all over the world the Philippines has had a gd scene since Tag2 maybe even before. One of there players AK has been in the Tekken global finals the past 2 years. There scene was much bigger than US during Tag2, since T7 tho I’m not to sure only time will tell

Anyone understand what the word " Moahhh " vocal that Katarina keeps saying ? I wonder what it means.

So do you do the wave dash stuff and get out a while rising moves out of it with master Raven ?

I see the Koreans doing that shit all the time. I know that just doing a QCF with no inputs will make her do a little crouch dash but whatever button i press afterwards would be a followup to that QCF. So for example what would be the input to do a dash into while rising 2 for example ? I never really used a character with something like this before.
