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.

A lot of low-level Kings (if they use chainthrows at all) will go straight for RDC because it's huge damage, so if you're too lazy to learn anything to learn about chainthrows just mash 2 if they hit you with the arm breaker to break RDC. It's also a good idea to learn how to beat stagger kicks (which is after you get hit by the first one, block the second, then low parry the third) because it's also a common low-level King technique but is pretty easy to beat once you know it.

Yea I was getting crapped on by the kicks and then I watched a video on it so it's fine now. I just can't be assed to learn the grapple system right now when basically only two characters at my level have players that utilize it frequently.

They also tend to do the "hit all 4 buttons for an easy chain" which I think has a default breaker of 1.

Tekken is so cool man. It's crazy how relatively niche it is. I'm up to Mentor with Steve now after a week! The rematch feature is great and I can't believe a lot of other games don't have it (at least that's what I read. I think SF lacks it). Having long sets going back and forth is really cool. I had an ~8 rd set with a yoshi where I started off hot got wrecked and then capped it off with two wins in a row when I figured out his range (had to quit to sleep). The hori commander is bare bones and cheap (~$35) but its way better than the xbox pad, especially for two button imputs.

Who would return for a potential season 3 pass? Are there any other major popular characters that are not in yet?

Looks like a great reason to play fighting games online.

Getting salty hatemail after a match is like getting that Perfect but for mental damage instead.

Do you mean you only play against cpu or you play with people offline? Only playing the cpu sounds awful. Also I'm pretty sure theres a setting to disable all messaging if you're that bothered by people calling you spammy trash or whatever.

Is the hatemail all from the console versions? I can't figure out how to send messages on steam.

In my case xbox. Xbox has a show recent players feature and you can find who you played chronologically there. Recent players -> hatemail is ingrained xbox culture from the MW2 days.

I'm at GM with steve and I'm super nervous trying to go for greens. I set a goal of hitting green in like two months and it's been about 3 weeks. I know the key to ranked is not caring but that was my one goal. To reach scrub rank.

As long as you can do a BNB Steve combo and press b1, you shouldn't have any trouble.

You either send a friend request on Steam or drop a message on their Steam Profile, which is exactly why I have my Profile to be free to comment on.
So I can get gems like these (incidentally, that was before Claudio got mega buffed):

I mean this is my first fg ever not just my first tekken so I'm happy about it...


Anyways I got the s2 pass 90% for Negan (not a WD fan but the character looks cool and the backlash was funny). I'm really glad I did because Lei is so drat fun to use. When I'm getting a little burnt out on tryharding I pick up Lei and don't care if I win or lose. Apparently he's getting buffed soon too which is nice.

As someone said earlier people are either really wack or really cool. I've already added two friends to spar with, both a bit above my level but willing to play a lot of player matches and teach me stuff. Either way its cool. The hate mail is fun and there are a lot of people who want to help.
