I got fourth at my tournament my friend played around and got sent to losers early then ran it all the way back to reset the bracket and then won with devil Jin.
I unfortunately had to face him in losers to decide top 3…
First match played against a alisa I don’t know the matchup but fundamentals won in the end with my heihachi 2-0 me
I then ran into another person I play with locally a lot but I had been labbing the xiayou matchup. I pick devil Jin and beat him. He switches to lucky chole kinda gimmicky with her. I lose the second game then just got more patient and won game 3 for 2-1
Then I played my other friend who’s really good. He uses jack 7 against me on infinite azure and I lost 2-0
In losers I played a yoshi who I was winning against in casuals with heihachi I lose the first match and switch to devil Jin. I then won 2 straight matches for 2-1 victory.
I then had to play my other friend who drove to the tournament with me. She plays Josie it was 3/5 I win first game with heihachi. second game she caught me on some whiffs and mixed her strings well so I lose. 3rd game I won then the fourth she gets me on the wall and I just got killed. I had to go to devil Jin for game five which I pulled out for the 3-2 win!
I play a guy I see at locals. I know the Kat matchup too well with heihachi I win 3-0
Then I ran into my friend and lost 3-1.
Did alright the bracket was weird cause I played all my friends but that because I hadn’t shown up to their tournaments and so they didn’t know how to seed me.
I’m going to lab the jack matchup. The last 2 times I have been sent to losers it’s been by this damn character
Finally! Apparently a few days till it’s released. Pc jukebox mod for all stages. Capable of adding any music as long as it’s converted to a WWise soundbank (Pretty simple process.)
Here’s a vid of Aris playing RunitBlack, this guy actually won the tournament I was at this past weekend. I saw him playing Heihachi but I think he is primarily a Jin player.
Can’t get the damn thing to work, Windows and AVG both insist that the file is shady AF and refuse to let me open it even after I’ve specified that I consider the file to be safe. <.<
the one that I just went too I was mad cause they only showed top 3 and I was just out at fourth.
here footage from the last tournament before
but yeah my friend used his pad
if you wanna see what 15+ years of playing can do for you this is it
his devil jin is sick the movement is incredible.
for a bit of a backdrop to set the scene
the guy he was facing jabbers is actually honkey #1 a old mishima player who played with pad and was one of the fastest mishimas in the world… placed top 8 at evo way back in 2003 for tekken tag tournament he doesnt like the ds4 so he switched to stick and was using steve and josie and actually taught my friend how to move
the match starts at 1:20 I gotta figure out how to move/combat this consistently and play against kasumi more often he used her against me in losers to get into top 3
our scene is kinda small but we got alot of og players that are still active sometimes and help it grow
Im watching a lot of streams, youtube matches these days, mainly knee, MBC and lowhigh stuff
just to see what stuff from several characters I struggle with is punishable on block
I swear ppl keep doing unsafe stuff on block all the time, more often than in SF games ( where it’s obvious yo can punish a blocked flashkick or SRK easily )
but in t7 with all these moves it just takes longer to find the optimized punishes or to realize what is actually punishable in T7
Just noticed today Jin and Katarina got quite some strings with gaps in there where I can easily interrupt it, YET high ranked players kept doing these
even after I started punishing these every single time lol
i guess that happens when you rely on these things to rank up in the first place.
btw, what do you consider to be high rankers?
thats the hard part of tekken for me. learning all the matchup dependent things, how to counter or avoid them properly.
learning your own char even with the huge list of moves including the exection (can just speak for feng) isnt even that hard…it takes just quiet some time.
and you in theory have to do that for the whole cast.
just had a lars in one of my last sessions, no idea what do to against him and he raped me most likely with the unsafest shit ever.
shit happens…at the end of the day you have to sit down and learn.
I remember that name, honkey #1. And damn I still don’t know how people move that fast with mishimas on pad…
I like pad actually.
Recently my friend stopped by and didn’t bring his stick and was forced to use pad…he had forgotten how good it felt to play on pad. I think overall he still prefers stick but there were some moves that actually felt better on pad.
I find it easier to react to lows on pad as well…always felt like this back in the arcade days and with American sticks.
I did a jab string with hwoarang into RFS df+4, which is an overhead. The guy ducked in the middle of the string and then stood back up in time to block the overhead which I hadn’t seen him do before.
alot of players got their way out of green ranks and into the yellows by abusing some things while you can find great players that just lack matchup knowledge in there
its a cess pool the bad ones that move up just found shit that was more abusable then other
even the orange ranks abuse some stuff but you find mostly good to decent players
at destroyer im seeing saviors (one rank above mine) which is really the rank where you have to know your shit because its overlord then the red ranks which are Really good players.
to make vindicator you have to know some stuff I consider warriors right on the tipping scale between fraudulent and competent.
but yeah mid orange to above. vanquisher, destroyer raises a eyebrow but mostly savior is where I consider you really high because the bullshit stops. if you dont have fundamentals you wont win period.
they know how to minimize bullshit by setting the pace and moving where you wont even get to use the forgettable part of your movelist or those janky strings
@LiangHuBBB
but gold isnt high for sfV either and you encounter the same thins there too…pilot made a good post about the topic.
do you use it during your online matches too?
its for sure helpfull but i dont know exactly why…i still stood away from it.
testing out these days a ps4 pad on pc since my hitbox has a x360board in it and wont work on the ps4
and i might want to go to some locas where its a mix of both systems and that way i have a backup input device
i know how to handle…2017…there should be one standart for all devices…
I use it during player matches and ask people beforehand, never during ranked or quick matches.
Why it helps? Gives you an overlay that displays the frame data after a move has hit you.
Now that’s not terribly useful in online matches because you only get to read what the move was after you missed your punish, but in a long set in a player match, you can then on the spot start to remember the move/string and punish it correctly.
When I’m done with a session, I can remember exactly which moves I couldn’t punish, record them all, put them on random intervals and practice identifying and punishing them.
Other great uses: When you go through the moves list of a character, just have it on and it saves you the time of tabbing to rbnorway and back into the game again. It’s just a massive time saver.
Only place where I don’t use it is ranked matches, because I personally feel like it’s bullshit being able to adapt to somebody who doesn’t have access to the same shit you do, especially when playing for points.
That thing might be controversial, but I don’t give a shit. If I’d learn frame data by using rbnorway all day, it would take me 10 times as long to learn everything I want to know.
A bit strange you can’t access the file considering it’s been white listed. Have you tried adding the whole folder as an exception? What windows are you on? Since 8 and up have an anti virus built in. Not a huge necessity to use another anti virus. Worst case scenario, you could turn it off while playing Tekken.
