Yup picking up Noctis was a good move, he's fun and flashy and I get to play more FFXV without having to re-install it!



This means I'm a more solid fundamental Tekken player right? (Katarina was my first char and at blue or something, Chloe and Jin I had done the learning grind up to Warrior on before the orange bump.)

e: Not pictured, hitting Usurper at like 90 wins and 65+% winrate before having a couple bad days

I really want to try picking up tekken but I play on xbox.... Is that just a bad idea? It looks like at a minimum I'd have to get a ~40 dollar fighting game xbox pad and then I'm wondering about finding opponents/lag.

I got the game and it looks fine to me? I have a low standard for graphics though. This is my first fighting game in agggggges so I'm basically starting from scratch. I picked steve fox because his style seems really cool. Also legit one of my top 10 favorite games of all time was fight night champion, it is basically a near perfect sports/fighting game. The feeling of dodging and counter punching in that felt great so I figured why not try to learn the guy who can do it in tekken? hosed around in practice for a bit, mainly focusing on movement weaves and dodges and a few simple combos. I am 1-0 in ranked and it feels great lol. I need to start learning launchers and some good air combos right away also I have 0 idea how to do rage art(? the finishing move thing). The first guy I played had some nice juggling combos down and rage art, I just pressured him like crazy and dodge punished him to a cheap win. I think I'll have to get a hori commander if I stick with the game though, the xbox pad is not made for this.

There's hatemail but there's also the fact that T7 is the only FG I've ever played where people will just rematch you forever if your connection is good, which is lovely.

I’ve accidentally teabagged a whole bunch trying to sidestep. I always feel bad when that happens.

I’ve also never got any hate mail which is weird considering I recently got to Warrior and took a while to get there

Welcome to Earth.

Yea I got my first hate mail after my first ranked match on PS4 whe trying to grind out of the beginner ranks after playing on PC. Apparently punishing the same unsafe move with my i12 punish was cheap.

PC I go out of my way to friend request people and thank higher ranked dudes for not instantly rolling over me and ask for tips and they are usually nice enough to answer.

Steve doesn't even have particularly decent low buttons.

Now when you get them to complain about b+1 counterhit spam...

I've never had salt messages on steam just rage DCs.

OTOH 80% of the Claudios I have seen were done up like the Joker so I'm gonna vote Claudio players as the worst.

I'm at initiate and about ~35 wins (and who knows how many losses ) and I've played 0 steves which is weird to me. I like it though the less the match up is known the better off I am. So far I hate Marduk and Kings because im too lazy right now to learn grappling defense and I hate characters who rely on big launch combos because I play really aggressive.
