i guess you can consider this a good start.
wonder how much the other titles sold in the same timeframe.
Taking into account digital sales or not?
i would guess they are included.
This game has defeated me, I canāt learn everything. Thereās way too many match-up niches to get into this game competitively.
Oh lord, youāre really fucking talented at fighting games. If you could fucking motivate yourself to stick to a character or even game and grind out matchups you could actually win some shit.
Youāre as solid as the wind in that regard though.
Aside from me not being super in love with anybody in the cast(I find them all fun, but nobody has the main factor) the amount of strings I get hit by vs. certain characters is just insane, I go into training mode to learn how to beat it, or if itās unsafe and Iām there for a good 5 minutes just looking for what I actually lost to. Thereās so much to learn, it becomes tedious when you spend one week learning a match-up and you barely feel like youāve learnt 1/4th of it. I love learning curves in games, things that donāt handfeed you. But having to memorise 60, 70, maybe 80 strings, every punish opportunity and every SSāable string is incredibly difficult and if I DONāT learn that, I feel like the people who are much worse-off than me are on almost equal footing because I canāt shut down their options.
Hopefully they release Lei soon so I can try another character out, I played Lei/Lars/Jin in Tekken 6, and liked Lei the most.
Going through the entire movelist to find that one thing that keeps hitting you is tedious as heck. 
Especially if, a lot of times, the character has a lot of similar looking moves as well. Outright discouraging at times. To the point where I prefer to try and grind it out in actual live matches.
But Art is right, you know. If you didnāt have to focus so much energy and brain capacity on learning a new character every week, itād all go into learning those matchups defensively. I know how you feel; having a character crisis is stupidly annoying. Itās part of why I told myself to fuck off with Feng for weeks, if not months, until Iām 100% comfortable with Lili. But yeah, canāt pile so much on yourself at the same time.
Why not just stick to Lars in the meantime? Too boring? Not saying you should end up maining him, but just have that solid foundation for now, while trying to learn the rest of the stuff.
I think youāre approaching how to learn the game in the wrong way, which is completely normal since this game doesnāt fucking tell you anything. The thing is, lot of information about strings and moves in this game can be generalized, which means you can very quickly āseeā if a string is safe or not. If it looks like it shouldnāt be safe, but you canāt punish it, thatās when you hit training mode. Iām leaving the house fairly soon, but I can do a quick write-up of the ārulesā I use when I look at strings later today.
Also screw learning what strings are sidestep-able when youāve only played the game for a couple of months. That sort of stuff is advanced. Learn to walk before you try to run.
Lastly, even consistent, high-level tournament players occasionally get wrapped up in stuff they donāt understand in this game. Iāve seen JDCR and Saint get seriously confused by a character more than once, but overcoming that simply by playing better Tekken than the other guy. As many gimmicks as you can find in this game, fundamentals are still king.
I have a character crisis as well I think.
I am way better with Katarina, but my heart belongs to Master Raven. I like her more aesthetically and the gameplay is more interesting to me. But I tend to lose a lot more with her.
are you really better with her or do you just get more wins out of your matches?
at the end i would stick to the char who is providing me more fun instead of more wins.
I agree with appomo
pick master raven and hit training mode because if your heart isnt invested then it becomes tougher to win especially as you run into harder people and especially with kat
at higher ranks it becomes very hard to play with kat because she has trouble opening people up. plus she is easily sidewalked on alot of things and very unsafe on alot of lowsā¦ the defense gets better.
if your heart isnt as invested you wont be able to find the creativity, the grit and timing to stay in matches at higher levels.
sidenote
it took a while because of people leaving when I would win and having long sets with higher ranked people and staying no matter what but I finally got devil jin to vanquisher
now along with heihachi I got 2 characters in vanquisher so I can use one to climb
Alright then. The next time I boot up Tekken I am gonna focus on Master Raven only. No matter what. She is the one I really want to main.
Iām starting to win against brown ranks more regularly.
Canāt fucking believe that I feel improvement just by playing this game.
I donāt even go to ranked often, mostly playing quick matches, because people are more often willing to play long sets there.
Skill level of those players doesnāt matter either. If somebody is really good, I get to practice patience and conditioning him, if somebody sucks I get to practice movement and punishment more. Just happy to be playing, even though I always got a guilty conscience because I should be learning about other characters a lot more.
Eliza is realy awesome, but I canāt figure out how to play her.
Seems like I have to watch some vids and hit the lab.
Finally found my official secondary character.
Kazumi! I really enjoy playing her. Her limited moveset lets me focus on the more important things.
I also feel like Iām playing Jack 7ā¦without actually playing Jack 7.
Counterhit Magic 4 and 1+2 punisher and easy wall damage is great.
Iām dropping Bryan and playing her, kind of like what Take did.
Got the best of both worlds now, Hwoarang-versatile, lots of moves. Kazumi-limited moves, methodical, decision making.
Kazumi looks good for me too.
Probably gonna add her to my arsenal one day. I like characters that keep it simple.
Kazumiās a good character for everyone tbh. If youāre good at basic Tekken, youāre good at Kazumi.
Iām still sticking to Leo and Devil Jin though. Gotta pick them top tiers.
Nationals coming up this weekend. Both of my hands are fucked up by carpal tunnel syndrome right now, but Iām still participating. Goal is as last time: make it out of pools and beat one of the local big dogs, with the pipe dream of making top 8. Gonna be interesting.
@SnakeofNinjutsu Some people are just doing it to practice it in match. I donāt agree with KBDC all the way to the end of the screen, but a couple is ok to practice mid match. Even if your movement isnāt very good yet. Youāre not gonna get better at anything in the game if you donāt practice it.
Think Iāll give Leo some more love in training later
there are plenty of chars i would like to play but i am not ready for it.
right now i am in a state where i am comfortable with my pick and i can start to learn matchups during fights instead to focus on what i am actually doing with my char.
