There is a session tonight @ Rob’s pad if anyone did not know this information by now. This is a great opportunity for the new cats to ask questions and polish your game play while the more experienced players are in attendance.
Things that are scrubby that I can’t beat:
tackles
10 strings
help
do I do d/b1+2 to tackles or something? they are owning me
on 10 strings just hold downback, when you dont get hit do a ws move.

Tackle overturn is nice because it reverses positions. You are the puncher instead of the punchee.
General advice for 10 strings, go into practice mode for the character that you’re having trouble with, and view their 10-strings. You don’t really need to pay too much attention to them, just block high, watch for where the lows are and parry that shit. Most 10 strings don’t mix it up too much so they’re like the most telegraphed lows in the game.
For tackles, just mash 1+2 to make the save. If you still happen to get tackled, 1 or 2 to block punches. If the opponent is King, Paul, Nina, or Jin, keep mashing 1+2 to escape armlocks or leglocks (the input is actually 1+2 2222 for armlocks and 1+2 1111 for leglocks, but mashing 1+2 will break both of them, lol).
GG’s to Super Joe today, Xbox users add me. :china:
But don’t they have mids in them? Hm. Better than what I’ve been doing which is trying to block the whole thing. I successfully blocked yoshi’s 'til I remembered the final 1,1,1 are unblockable sword slashes. It killed me. I raged.
There’s forty fuckin’ characters, fuck that. It’s not one character in particular, it’s random online scrubs who switch characters every turn and mash out 10-strings. I was just hoping there was a general way to avoid them. Guess I’ll do the block low thing. I tried to block the lows then punish and it just got me counter-hit. They don’t stumble like most sweeps. :lol: I can probably do WS+1 into a fat combo with Lars, but I was playing Lee. Maybe WS 3, 3. Or just WS4 to get them to stop. Or hell even a dick punch.
Oh yeah, that reminds me - are dick punches “special” mids? The mid sign is green instead of yellow or whatever in training mode. What exactly is a special mid?
Dope. Duly noted. Apparently as Lee I can reverse the tackle with b1+2 so I’ll just mash that all day. Thanks. :tup:
I wish Yoshimitsu was Loshimitsu so it would fit in with my Lars/Lee/Leo theme. I don’t really play Leo anymore, though. I think I’ve settled on Lars/Lee as my main and alt though. Lee is hella fun. Lars is way more easy mode, though. Still trying to learn what to poke with with Lee. I should hit up Curtis. I used to have him added on aim but then I felt like a stalker because I never talked to him. He used to beast me at Marvel at the everett arcade. :china:
If people end up hitting me up on XBL, can I kindly ask that you don’t switch characters a lot? My biggest peeve right now is playing people who change characters every match. It’s cool if you switch just at least play two matches or so with a character please. I can’t learn anything from one match with a new character. I hate getting raped one match then they switch so I can’t learn. Cheesy ass mothafuckas.
Dick punches= special mids. Can be blocked high or low, can be parried.
also- Elias…you need. NEED PERIOD to play with some reg tekken peeps in casuals. Please.
Same goes to all you fringe players. Cody was there, and I saw him come in and get scraped, then start to adapt and win a few rounds tonight. Cody, you were playing one of the top players in the Seattle area. People bust on Dustin but fuckthatnoise.com. Dustin knows how to play the game. Anyone who busts on him for winning should seriously check themselves. A win is a win is a win. Dustin will tell you what he is doing to beat you and what you need to do to counter…if you ask. If you don’t ask…lol…why the hell should anyone tell you how to beat them without the asking? Seriously. Casuals are casuals for a reason. Dustin is down with casuals. Name me ANYONE who has travelled further for casual play in Tekken this past year.
I’m waiting.
…
Tekken is fun. Not fun to watch, but hella fun to play. Just sayin.
GGs again to the peeps at Robs. Thank you Rob for hosting this shit…your place is dope.
Got my last final for the quarter on Tue. will try to make it out in the coming weeks. Not to sure if I’ll be playing this, but the first two sessions I went to had a fun so I wanna see if I’ll like it more once I play people who can show me what’s up again.
My problem is I don’t have fun getting scraped. :lol:
Also, the only tekken players I know are Monked and Super Joe. I thought about trying to hit up… Tim’s? in Lynnwood but I don’t know anybody except kervin who now has to work instead of going. Maybe I’ll get emanuel to come with me to something.
It would also help if anything was posted on SRK - I don’t even know where the regional/whatever forums at TZ are. I also now work all the fucking time, so good luck getting me to sessions.

Monked and Super Joe were at Rob’s tonight.
Tim is a top tier guy and has a helluva place for hosting. Wish he posted here.
Rob’s in like federal way though, that’s too far for tekken.
if ur not willing to travel that far, then open up ur place for 1-2 people to come over and train with you. 1 vs 1 practice will help you level up the fastest if you play with the correct people. ur not gonna get any better going to a tekken session with 5+ ppl rotation.
you can come down to tacoma and ill train you to be a beast. but tacoma is even farther than robs 
I live in Redmond now. Have been for the last year.
Oh, ok. All I had to go on was your srk location. :lol: There are some times I’d be willing to travel pretty far but right now is not really a good time, so I don’t know why I’m bitching. I work almost every day and I have one gas tank to last me 'til my first paycheck which may not be for 3 weeks.
I’m aware that 1 on 1 training will level me up more than a big rotation. Could invite someone over but again I kinda don’t know anybody. Just kinda awkward to me to invite somebody into my bedroom when I’m not very well acquainted with them. :bgrin:
Honestly, I could just settle for an online set with some people right now. We can do 1-on-1 there, assuming the connection is okay.
Rob are you playing Tekken on PS3 or 360?
^ Rob plays on the 360.
GG last night fellas!!!
Elias, where do you live?
Hey guys, don’t forget we’re doing casuals tonight in Tacoma.
For details. Details are on seattletekken.com
Please let me know if you’re going to make it so I know who all to expect.
Yeah there are 40 characters but at least with scrubs they can only remember the easy ones. And you don’t have to learn the whole damn 10-string, just everything up until the low. You don’t even have to know whether something is specifically high or mid because you’re blocking high anyway.
This is why you want to parry the 10-string lows, not block. At first you will try to block the lows but like you said this won’t stop them. 10-strings are a scrub tool because it’s a string you memorize to mix up people that don’t know them. But the thing about 10-strings is that they are mostly highs and mids with at most one or two lows. This means you can block them high, and when the low comes out you parry it with df and the 10-string is OVER. They fall on their ass and you get a free combo. It’s fun. Once you learn to do this you will want to do it every time.
The nice thing about this is that even if the opponent is slightly intelligent it works in your favor. Only a few specific characters have any real mixups for 10-strings, everyone else would just have to stop right before the low, but this is usually punishable anyway. If you’re really on your game you can fuzzy parry the low and quick punish whether they do the low or not.
