Seltzer posted:The best characters to play in lower levels are ones that are high tier but no one uses because they are boring/weird (jack shaheen akuma). You get the advantage of the player not having match up knowledge while also using a good character. As a low-ranked Leo player this is very true. The character is so boring that even good players can't be bothered.

I'm convinced like 70% of the yellow/red/orange Yoshis get there been cause nobody knows how to fight them.

not sure if i missed it during the discussion last page but what does magic 4 mean? assuming it's a certain character's broken right kick?

Usually a fast 11~ frame high kick that starts a combo on counter hit like katarina

It's also important to note that a magic 4 is safe, so it's a good move to throw out in neutral if you're not sure what to do.

Some are not though, and some are i12, so make sure you know what kind of magic 4 your character has. They are highs, so watch out for people who like to duck.

I picked up Kazumi as a replacement for my fundamentals beginner character to mess around with. She's way more fun and intuitive imo. Also the character design is cooler. The other good thing is you can wr2 and df1 your way to victory at the start. This game has too many characters to try out. I'm still maining negan, I have plans to make steve my main main again tho, but I'm also toying with the idea of maining eddy. It's weird I hate learning combos, it feels like homework to me, but I don't have much problem going into training with a new character while watching a ~10 minute vid and coming out with a decent enough gameplan to survive in greens. I figured that would be more frustrating and hard than combos but I'm just averse to learning them. It's the main thing stopping me from progressing further with certain characters- when I feel they aren't fun enough to learn the combos. Also coming from Negan to Eddy combos was an eye opener. Negans input window is wayyyyy more lenient than eddys.

The tour is starting today with The Mix Up and the bracket is so stacked that you're getting matches like Chikurin vs Knee in pools. This is awesome

Kazumi is real fun to play casually. Not that I ever try to flowchart but you can turn your brain a lot off more than with steve lets say. Also faking people out with tigers never gets old.

I think you would see her have a super high pick rate if she wasnt season 2 dlc. As it is she still has a high pickrate. In my ongoing character crisis I now have begun dabbling with miguel a little bit. I'm going to maintain kazumi and negan is my main mains but he seems fun as well. I don't know how top players can juggle so many characters though. Even going back from kazumi to negan and vice versa there are holes in my game that linger until I've played about 10 matches. You just forget certain moves/set ups for a bit til they come back to you.

Geese got nerfed but based on seeing chikurin play the other day it doesnt seem to matter. I've been trying marduk again, I suck in neutral with him, everything is slow. I'm getting wins but tbh I feel bad abusing his tackle.

I have a colleague who wanted me to teach him Tekken with his only background in competitive games being as a serious business Smash player, and I forgot how much of an added layer of challenge there is to teaching someone who's never really used a joystick, can't hit diagonal directions consistently, doesn't know what basic Street Fighter inputs are, and struggles with hitting a direction + button simultaneously. Like I can still talk to him in terms of parries, frames, low/mid/high, etc., so it's kinda weird having all that other poo poo be a little beyond him.

I'll be honest, I tried doing some of the Smash movement BS and it feels super weird to me as someone used to digital input.

Can anyone else just not settle on a character like me? I've been doing this thing for awhile now where Ill take a character and get them from teals to mid yellows then pick up a new one. I'll drop a character real quick if I dont like them but I've now done that with steve, marduk, kazumi and negan. Now I'm looking at Dragunov and Asuka. Idk I think its sorta normal cause its my first game and I'm really new to tekken but the character ADD is a bit annoying because I feel like it's stopping me from getting really deep with a character/learning better fundamentals. The characters I've put legit time into online thus far are steve, marduk, kazumi, negan, geese, shaheen, eddy, lei, and miguel. Seltzer fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Jul 1, 2019 |

Anyway: Apparently three new DLC items were added to Steam - what the hecky hell. The general consensus is we'll find out what this means at Evo. My guess is "hooray three new tshirts will be added who cares" buuuut seeing as they release characters 3 at a time, just let me hope for Wang/Ganryu/Zafina okay

Also the best way to learn to fight characters in Tekken is to play as them and figure out what they do, so in a lot of ways it's really helpful to switch around a lot.

Seltzer posted:Can anyone else just not settle on a character like me? I have the opposite problem. I just jumped back into Tekken after dropping it a few months after release because matchmaking was mind-blowingly slow. It still is, but the fighting is fun enough to live with the wait. Anyway, I played through Mortal Kombat 9-11 this year and figured if I could have fun trying a million new characters there, I'd get back into Tekken and try to do the same. Now I've played like 200 matches in 10 days (also, either I became twice as good at Tekken after leaving the game stuck at Warrior, or the rankings are way more spread out now) and almost all of them were with Ling Xiaoyu, which is the only character I feel like I have an answer to every situation with. My secondary characters are Jack and Panda, since every other smaller character seems really immobile compared to Xiaoyu, but I'm pretty bad with them and really need to find a new character to dive into.

Whalley posted:I mean, I'm the same way (although Gigas is my favorite) - but I don't think it's a problem? I mean, it is if your goal is "become number one tekken god ranking and take the game Very Seriously" but I'm like, whyyyy ruin the game for myself in the way I did Tekken Tag in arcades by tryna do that. I have fun when I'm learning and improving, switching characters a bunch slows that down. Also the deeper you get with a character you get the more creative you can be which imo is when tekken is at it's most fun. Brosnan posted:Also the best way to learn to fight characters in Tekken is to play as them and figure out what they do, so in a lot of ways it's really helpful to switch around a lot. Yea its definitely helped me with that and in other ways as well. My general tekken sense has increased a lot and I'm able to feel out a lot of attack and defense instinctively with new chars because I've got a better grip on many of the universal systems. If being yellow rank knee is my t7 calling its not so bad since it's my first fg though I'd like to get real good with at least one char. Skjorte posted:I have the opposite problem.

A lot of small characters are mobile but I guess you mean evasive? (many small chars have really good side and back steps). Feng is really evasive and cool though not small. I actually started playing Raven yesterday and she's really cool. Ticking a lot of boxes I like, low pick rate (I like using lesser used characters), evasive, very unique moves, good damage, good wall carry, and her combos are forgiving. You can really gently caress around with average to decent players entire gameplan and leave them guessing with just her basic stances alone.

You'll definitely do better in the long run maining one character, but there's a lot to be learned in dabbling with others, for one you learn how to fight against them.

neosloth posted:I wouldn't worry about it too much because fundamentally most of the tekken characters are very similar and playing any character makes you better at using the generic tools most character share, which in turn makes it way easier to jump between characters. It takes a lot of time to find a character you like, I've been trying out different characters for almost two years before settling on kazuya, and I don't think I'd be able to pick him up if I didn't try all of the other characters first
