and I’m watching right now and a King vs Paul match, the paul guy then switched to King. The second player was basically a green rank player and the chat was having fun watching his play style and decision making…
Very strange to see green rank play in Japan but I guess it shows you there’s people of different skill levels no matter where you’re from.
What’s strange is looking at the results.
That’s gotta be the first time in forever that JDCR didn’t make top 8 in a tournament.
I hate geese
lol i hate him too lmfao
my friend and me play about 70+ games the other day and i was learning the geese matchup
some characters are so risky but because of their super high reward they sort of break the case of the game rewarding taking your time and making timely precise decisions.
gesse is one of those characters hes unsafe as shit but hes constantly in your face and forces you to make snap decisions more often than traditional tekken would have you think. its like a vortex. on top of that if he has meter hes gonna raging storm
8 frames and damn near impossible to clean punish without wall and even then it has to be at a certain angle.
if you are low on life and he has meter you poking game become severely hindered cause a player who can buffer the super properly is gonna hold on the bar until you over extend yourself.
his poking becomes better because of that too lol even if you are advantage he can still reversal super and beat you out.
Ive been watching a shitload of knees streams as they help with my mishimas and other characters
hes been destroying everyone and using every character. rarely getting demoted and his bryan is the highest ranked. hes starting to get a better feel of the game and he knows all of the characters at a top end level.
hes been putting in so much work its impossible to put in that much work and not progress.
I couldn’t watch Top 64 due to Openrec being terrible, but this guy uploaded the Top 64 matches.
Some insane matches here. And the very last match of Top 64 is a MUST WATCH, all I can say. That match starts at 3:51:30 but there’s good top level matches scattered throughout.
Makes me sad there wasn’t a better stream, but I’ll take this over nothing.
Grand finals was a great damn set.
Yeah but what do you guys say about that insane Paul player NaughtySenpai69, winning Tilly Cup 18 with a clean 3-0 sweep?
congratulation to your 100 bucks? 
5 bucks. Thanks anyways 
I really wanted Knee to win with Bryan, so he stick to it more on tournaments.
It is so fun watching him play Bryan. Those taunts he pulled were sick.
whut? i thought everyone payed 5 bucks in…maybe i misread that. congratulation anyway.
Nah.
It’s just some stoner from r/salty who hosts weekly Tekken online tournaments on Steam and gives the winner 5 bucks+donations on that night.
Sadly people didn’t donate so I couldn’t even get a pizza for me and the Misses.
It’s kinda like Char Cup.
Was hella fun though. Haven’t played in a weekly online tournament since Zotac Cup for Warcraft 3 years ago.
found/learned something interesting with Heihachi that is probably old.
For his Crouchdash jump kick
f,n,d,df+3 (mid) and
f,n,d,DF+3 (low)
You can input it as a crouch dash jump
f,n,d,df, uf
then input the 3 or then hold df and 3 once he has already left the ground to select either mid or low option.
I don’t know if the start up frame is different but if you do it the old way, he sometimes makes an audio cue signifying he’s going to attack (sometimes he doesn’t).
Using the second method, he doesn’t make the audio cue until he leaves the ground.
Also I noticed he has an uf+2 move…that looks like a pimp slap that is not in the move list.
I think everyone has a uf+2 command?
I been playing a lot of mishimas and I’m starting to feel like my Heihachi and Kazuya is more effective than my DJ, who was always my fav mishima since Tekken 5.
I think I’m landing more electrics and the neutral just feels better.
Kazuya feels more explosive with a dangerous wake up game provided you have good reads and decision making.
Heihachi, god damn his mids are insane, I never realized this even though I read it.
The stats don’t lie too:
PS4 win rate
DJ 57-58%
Hei 63-65%
Kaz 68-69%
PC win rate
DJ 66%
Hei 67-71%
Kazuya Currently 81%.
Unless it’s just because I’m getting better overall and am starting to use Hei and Kaz later on.
i guess its a mix of both. one the one hand you got better over time, on the other he allows you to pressure more which when your reads
or…luck…benefits you lead to more wins. part of it is you and a part of it the char.
with kaz you know he doesnt have much so when you [picked him you were probably in the zone more often. the flip side since he doesnt have alot you only have to worry about good spacing and reads no super specific things
so when you play him you are zeroed in you know you dont have alot so you instincts are on 10
with hei hes heavy pressure and people that mash will die to him hes high risk with his lows but the heat he can put on you is enormous and at the wall its tough
with his mids just like appo said and you probably got better
because devil jin has such great tools it makes it easier to fall on those in the crutch and sometime you get predictable which will get you killed you have to work hard not to be predictable with him.
Had a rough night with Kaz yesterday, was playing the higher ranks (Nina) and was winning at first then started losing.
Same happened with Hei versus a Steve.
I think Mishimas in a long set is harder…short to medium 3-6 matches are perfect.
So I went to Wednesday Night Fights today, it’s been 4-5 months since I’ve been to a tournament, I was feeling good and not tired after work, I heard there was going to be UK players in socal because they are stopping by on their way to StrongStyle, which is the Tekken major happening this weekend in San Jose (Norcal). I debated about going because I figured if/when I lose, I’m going to be thinking about it and may have trouble sleeping lol cause I’m already a light sleeper.
Played RunItBlack in Casuals…he’s really good. I’ve been mostly playing mishimas the last two weeks and one game using Heihachi against his Paul made me not want to play mishimas anymore…it’s too hard. I played maybe two games. Then switched to Hwoarang and he switched to Jin, his main. Really good movement. I somehow got two rounds and lost. Definitely one of the best players right now in socal and I’m not surprised he’s won a few WNF tournaments.
Then I played some UK guys because we were allowed to get some practice in, he looked Asian and was using a K-stick and was playing Lars. Things were going ok/well.
Up comes the tournament, first match I’m first up which is great because I don’t like to wait. I got paired with Spaghetti Rip who is a UK player. I was expecting to play his Katarina, but I saw him hovering over Eddy so I went with Shaheen first because I don’t like the hwoarang, Eddy matchup.
First round, startd off pretty strong, block punishing, timing good hopicks and took it. Lost the next 3 rounds. I was playing sloppy, going for random hopkicks. and didn’t even land wall combos. Serves me right because I hardly practice with Shaheen.
Went straight to Hwoarang, lost to rounds, took the next two, and lost the 3rd round. I dropped a few combos and got upset with myself…I don’t think it’s a good idea to telegraph your frustration in a tournament.
I was pretty upset at the loss but I went for the fist bump and we shook hands.
The thing about that’s good/bad this game is it’s never the games fault if you lose…it’s your fault or their credit.
I absolutely hate losing in basically anything.
Anyway, the power goes off for the entire block in the city, so they basically had to cancel the tournament and issue people refunds.
I’ll be watching strong style this weekend and trying my best just to stick to Hwoarang and Shaheen from now on.
You gotta get more confident in yourself too much switching especially with characters you don’t practice with will get you killed
Though I can’t talk too much my last tournament netted me 4th place again.I won the first rd with devil Jin got sent to losers in the second rd dropped some game winners with hei.
Won the next 3 rds of losers thanks to Nina mostly the 1 before I lost I switched from heihachi to Jin to Nina before winning 3-2.
Then I lost to the winner of the tournament jabbers who is actually honkey#1 he just changed his moniker
I requested a mishma duel and lost. but learned some stuff his movement is amazing… landed some nice ofgf combos I’ll post the footage later.
