Here's an odd request; it's easy to find videos of high level pro matches, but what about beginner/intermediate play? As a Tekken noob myself it might be fun (or even a little educational) to watch other people struggle too  Anyone got any youtube or twitch channels with this sorta stuff?

Only a few of these people are actually good. If you're actively looking for mediocre play, the world is your oyster.

Well sure, but the average Twitch stream is also really really awful  That's why I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. I've tried trawling through twitch a couple of times with other games to see if I can find something enjoyable to watch but there's just so much poo poo.

CEO is next week and assuming they'll stream at least some of the pools there will be players of all sorts of skill levels shown early on in the tournament.

Re: Tournaments, I ran a couple last night on PC but most broke in some way. One broke because someone left during the first round, one broke and I'm not sure how because I just got (Opponent has left the match, returning to the menu) and it disbanded the tournament. I was host both times. When they work they're really fun. I had a group of 4 people jumping into each of the tournaments I made so we had some good chatting going on, and it was fun to watch the finalists. There was a pair of ridiculously good sets between a Drago and Yoshi that went the distance with the second round being a 5 round fight.

I was gonna nab the PC version of the game at some point in the future, but since the matchmaking is so messed up on PS4 currently, now seemed as good a time as any. Thanks to an earlier goon who suggested gamersgate, saved me some 10 bucks. My streaming/gaming rig is pretty recent and significantly Shway enough that I've been able to run a few hours session in Ultra without any real noticed issues. Still, I prefer ensuring a smooth ride if possible. Are there any settings I should turn off from the Ultra preset, maybe something that's known to cause issues or is just kinda useless?

Tekken made me get mad at my ls-32 in my stick so i threw my jlf back in. The inputs are so strict that with the short throw on the seimitsu i was getting hold up/ hold down moves instead of tap up / tap down moves if i waited until i hit the gate to tap a button. I was pulling my hair out for a while trying to figure out why i was jumping instead of side stepping. Well thats my noob story about blaming hardware for being bad.

Have they said anything about changing how tournaments work? Everything falling apart when the host quits sounds like a really bad oversight.

Does the host have to participate in the tournament? Is there any way someone could set up a tournament and go AFK for a while? Or do they have to invite/fight?

Hosts have to participate. I've just started running tournaments on pc around 8 or 9 central for a couple hours since I know I'm not going to ditch if I lose and I want to learn more about how people play other characters.

I'm not sure I can play Josie after all... even if you skip the Win cutscene, the audio will still play and I die a little inside every time her "I can't believe I won  " voiceline plays. Oh and also because I'm ridiculously bad at her and even the CPU is owning the hell out of me.Speaking of being bad, I'm trying to use more movement and I just get so badly punished for it (again, even by the CPU). Sidesteps feel completely worthless, even a jab tracks enough to hit you? And when I try to backstep, most of the time I'm hit in between the b taps. I just can't get used to movement in this game, it's so clunky.

It's a very good port (the best version of the game available, currently) and is really fun if you're into things with an incredibly high skill ceiling! Also the dress up dollies mode is pretty good.

Speaking of dress-up, I just found out how the chests work. When you get every common item, brown chests start just giving gold instead. Same for the other tiers. If you have most of the items, 90% of your chests in treasure mode is going to contain pitiful amounts of gold  For some reason I assumed it would start giving you higher tier items once you had depleted all the lower tier ones so it wouldn't take forever. I was wrong!Trykt posted:It's a very good port (the best version of the game available, currently) and is really fun if you're into things with an incredibly high skill ceiling! Also the dress up dollies mode is pretty good. I'm currently suffering from the newbie blues, this game is brutal and as someone who haven't played fighting games before it's.. overwhelming.

I couldn't tell you with certainty what tier of unlock it's in, but I have it unlocked and I'm god awful at Tekken. I think I got it out of a Silver box? Treasure Battle is such a nice thing for a newbie, i can do 5 minutes of training mode to half-remember a quarter of a characters moves and then go try and figure stuff out on the fly fighting a bunch of crazy murder-hobos in fanciful costumes for prizes. It even let me make the best Bob costume ever after only a few matches. A shame I'm liking Dragunov better than Bob now.

There was a playlist linked in the Discord and probably also here with some standard bnbs for every character, so I transcribed the ones with characters I'm interested in. I'm sorry if these have already been done or if my notation and formatting is confusing but I sorta banged them out real quick. Also they're not complete ultimate comprehensive stuff because the videos weren't, either, so some less used starters or paths might not be represented.

Trykt posted:Gonna share some generally important lessons for newer peeps that I've learned from playing Tekken and 3D fighting games in general over the years . Some/all of this might seem super obvious but I promise each of these bullet points was a genuine fuckin' epiphany for me at some point: Quoting myself here (editing out the bullet point that was not quite correct) to help all the new people showing up with interest in this game! Please, PLEASE ask questions about details on anything above, for example punishment speed tiers; I feel like punishment as important as it is, is not actually intuitive to most people cause it's so rare to see randos (goons or otherwise) actually punishing unsafe poo poo.

How do you know what moves are punishes? For example, I play a lot of Law, and I've used his d/b3 to combat mids and it also launches which I can combo, and his ff4 with armor can beat spam as well as bb34, at least how I use him. But I guess I don't really know if these are really punishes at all.

But I guess I don't really know if these are really punishes at all. In this case Trykt is referring specifically to punishing blocked moves. Go into training, have the dummy do the move, block it and try to punish with one of your own moves. If it says "punish" on the screen, it means you hit the opponent while he was in recovery from the attack you blocked, i.e. it's guaranteed damage whenever you block that attack. I also made a video about this topic last night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-dXNHcUhCA

I should never have tried to play without hopkicks, I'm realizing how ridiculously bad I am at anything that's not "throw out hopkick and hope the enemy runs into it" and it's disheartening as gently caress. I just lost three matches in a row against easy CPUs in treasure mode and I'm quickly transforming into an industrial salt factory. Please send aid.Yodzilla posted:She's supposed to be a model and a professional kickboxer but her intro is her being nervous and loving crying because Japan.

I think it's mostly because I have no idea what I'm doing, so when I try to pressure I just get punished because I don't actually know how to pressure. Or I try to move around and I get punished because I don't really know how to use movement. The part that feels bad is that I'm not sure how to improve since I'm not sure what I should be doing differently, you know? I think he was talking about Josie
