Is Jin canonically old enough in T7 that T8 is going to add his kid to the mix as the new plucky protagonist w/ hidden potential?

He's only 21 so probably not, assuming no weird time portals or something.

Hard to sympathize with Heihachi when he's the one responsible for raising Kazuya as a cold blooded monster.

tekken 7 retcons this so that kazyuya was literally born as the antichrist or w/e from the start and that being thrown off a cliff was somewhat in self deference, vs "he got thrown off a cliff to prove that he's super tough and he made a deal with the actual devil and/or awakened his secret anime powers as a result"

what I'm saying is that any man can only take some kid that doesn't know what he's talking about doing 112 to his dick so many times before you get fed up and toss off from then nearest oubliette

Which gets really confusing when you factor in Shin Akuma (yes yes, SF crossover etc). It seems like Shin Akuma should be pretty soundly in Kazuya's corner - they both want Heihachi dead for... reasons

Thing is they both probably wouldn't have been so hosed up if Kazumi hadn't gone nuts in the first place, so it was a pretty self-fulfilling prophecy there.

If ya can move ya toes ya back's fine
Capcom has gradually been turning Akuma from THE ULTIMATE villain to corrupted neutral evil to slightly anti-hero lately.

In the latest SF/Darkstalkers comic book series, he's even solidly on the side of all the good guys that are fighting Jedah.
Plus he makes friends with Elena in Ultra SF4, and retconned him "murdering" Gouken so I guess they're also trying to soften up his image.

Also all of the people he actually kills are bad guys anyways. He doesn't go out of his way to murder innocent people, or kill specifically to advance his goals, or try to destroy the Earth so Akuma's sins are definitely less than the Mishimas and he shouldn't need any motivation to fight Kazuya other than:
a) Kazuya's loving up the Earth, and Akuma's being bothered by it
b) He's possibly the strongest being on Tekken Earth, and Akuma's primary motivation to face the strongest warriors and defeat them.

--Goutetsu, his master (but it was mentioned to be a fair fight between honorable warriors, and Goutetsu died with a smile on his face)
--Adon's opponent in SF Alpha 2
--M. Bison in SF2 (his soul inhabited Rose until another clone body was made for him to inhabit in SF4)
--Gill, in SF3:2I (but Gill resurrected)
--Uh....He saves the world from a giant meteor in Capcom Fighting Jam but that's prob not canon.

M. Bison's death via Raging Demon was originally supposed to be his final canon death.
Then SF3 bombed for a lot of reasons, but a primary reason was because of its new cast, so for SF4 they decided to bring back all of SF2's cast due to nostalgia and so Bison's death was downgraded to temporary (Akuma destroyed his body with the Misogi, rather than killing his soul for good with the Raging Demon)

It seems like Kazumi got reaaaaaal hosed up by the Devil Gene though, like... moreso than any other Mishima. She might be annoying as gently caress in-game but storywise she's probably less evil than Heihachi.

I know I'm getting pretty hung up on character motives in a fighting game, particularly considering Bob's whole involvement is "Bryan was around and he looks like a bad dude so I'm gonna fight mans" but still.

People here might have already watched this, but Knee did a 1,2 challenge with a fan, meaning he can only use 1,2 for offense while his opponent can do whatever they want.

It's a good showcase of how important fundamentals are even if you eat a few snake edges.

Is waking up by holding back from a FUFT position safe or not?
I know you can punish people that hold back from a FDFT by hitting them meaty for example but I can't find a setup for when they land into a FUFT position.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm pretty sure I managed to find a setup to punish holding back from FUFT so it definitely looks unsafe.

Borderless adds a pretty huge amount of input lag to this game and I wouldn't recommend ever using it.

A common fix for the green flash is to right click your Nvidia systray icon and open the Control Panel, go to Display > Change Resolution, and switch the color settings to the Nvidia settings as shown (ensuring 8 bpc color depth). You may not need to actually change any of the settings once you've switched from "default" to "Nvidia," but it should fix the problem anyway.

Spent ten matches in a row getting blown up by Asuka's combos that start with low hits.

I should probably learn to block low. And stop pressing buttons while she's still in a string.

Her snake edge/sweep is very seeable you just need to practice blocking and launching it and learn the strings it comes out of. For 1,4444 the string where she punches and goes low while spinng you can crouch and block/ low parry even if the first hits normal iirc. You will also be ducking so you can ws launch the high continuation if she does that (1,4,3 is the string that goes high). Dont start mashing highs because she'll crush them and get a ch launcher. If shes spamming full crouch df+2 you can hopkick her even if one hits normal. Again dont start mashing highs because that move is used to fish for counter hits a lot of the time and the ch combo is like super easy and gives her 64 damage or something off 4 hits. Thise are the main ones u need to watch out for imo. That can lead to combos newayz.

That's all super helpful stuff, thanks dude.

I'm super garbage but I gotta work more on actually responding to the other player. Pay more attention to them and have some matchup knowledge. Which sounds obvious when I say it like that, but as a baddie with a small pea brain a lot of times I get into a zone where I'm thinking so hard about what I want to do next that I get really dumb about actually acknowledging what the other guy is doing and using it to my advantage.

You should get used to either going for low crushes or fuzzy guard, aiming to get low parries.

I find that it becomes essential against characters like Jozie and Nina.
