Nazzadan posted:Spamming backdash (bb, bb, bb, bb) is better than it was previously and will cover more ground quicker than it did in 7, but kbding is still faster. So you can kick the can down the road a bit and get by with regular backdashing for longer than you could in previous games, but you should probably still eventually learn to kbd. A bigger thing is when you should kbd compared to regular backdashing, because even at high levels both have their uses. Oh no I can do it just fine, I just haven't done it for years and am gonna play some this weekend at Frosty's lol. Hopefully the muscle memory comes back a little quicker

Play a sway character so at least something happens when you try to kbd

Moving is cool in tekken because you can always work on improving and it has an extremely high skill ceiling. Even just canceling backdash with side steps which is much easier than mashing kbd is highly effective. https://youtu.be/Lbm5CasGsMQ?si=jEJYGWRLL3chR4sJ

I'm gonna be sad when this doesn't happen now Anyway, looking forward to a new Tekken with actually functional load times and/or netcode. Gonna scrub it up probably with someone in the Asuka, Lili, Jun, Zafina, Azucena or Yoshi character subset. I think I played mainly Asuka/Lili/Master Raven in T7 before the online on that wore me down at launch and I never got back to it.

I've been trying to do KBDs on the Tekken 8 demo on my hitbox and either it's hosed now or I suck (it's the second one). I've been trying to do what people were saying worked for Tekken 7 KBDs and that just seems like it makes me do nothing in the demo. I can wave dash forward pretty easily but yea can't backdash for poo poo. I also can't do it with a pad but I've never been able to do dash movement worth a drat on the pad so that's not surprising.

First time I'm jumping in to Tekken. From my limited reading in to it, there isn't a big a difference between Characters as in something like SF6 in terms of achetypes. As someone who is more confident in taking time and waiting to punish and counter rather than rushing down and going on the offence, is there a particular way I should go for my first character. Feeling Leo and Jun's vibes and I think like everyone I think Reina is cool, but she looks like she's going to be the Tekken 8 Ken and also seems a little bit more difficult to start with? Also I appreciate that the ranking percentiles may be difficult, but in terms of Tekken 7 how difficult is the trophie for ranking up to Vanquisher going to be for a beginner?

Oh a hitbox hold back then tap down then tap forward. There is a little delay between the down and the forward. If you do it too fast you won’t go anywhere. https://www.hitboxarcade.com/blogs/hit-box/tekken-7-on-hit-box-korean-back-dash I’m not a hitbox user but when I mess around on keyboard I do the backsway version on this page and it works for everyone.

In general you only need to backdash 2-3 times in a row. A lot of noobs put kbd as an essential technique they need to master before they can play the game but realistically it’s a skill you build up over time and use in conjunction with other pieces of movement like side step and dash block

I wouldn't spend a dime on Nina but I'll pay whatever they're asking if they hold Anna hostage on me like that.

If you are leaning towards Leo and Jun and want punishment heavy gameplay, I would lean farther towards Jun. She has very good punishment across most frames (including the best? i10 punisher) and will reward patience and has a neat heat gimmick. RE: hitting Vanquisher, in T8 there is no ranked demotions below yellow rank and if it follows the same structure as 7 (it does, but with less ranks) then Vanquisher is just a few ranks higher than that

Ready to play more of everybody's favorite loveable Kill-Bot Jack-8. I am excited about that particle field and his other new robut moves as well. Reina looks really interesting too, Friday is going to be so hype.

If I love guile because counter play is fun, who's good to try out? Long pokes, baiting mistakes, and being a wall for someone to overcome is kind of my style.

It was a sad day for me when I discovered there was a skill level to Tekken beyond learning how to powerbomb with King, or confusing people long enough to body press them with Jack-2. I realised I would never manage that. OTOH I'll get it anyway because tekken rules.

So hyped for this game. I’m sure I’m in for a gigantic fuckin learning curve but I absolutely love those early days of a new fighting game trying stuff out and slowly getting my poo poo down. Got a mate picking up the game as well so I’ll have someone to learn with and fight against which always helps. Like the look of King cause wrasslin’ and also once as a kid I played a Tekken arcade cabinet and picked the cool jaguar man and mashed around. Yoshimitsu is also tempting just because of my fondness for the Soul series. Just want to get my hands on the full game so I can play around with everyone and find someone whose flow I gel with already, I remember spending a lot of time in training mode in Soul Calibur and SC2 just running through movelists seeing how it felt to play.

When I first started Tekken 7, grabs and snake-edge sweeps were unstoppable game winners and there were still enough people in the same situation that it felt fine. The only thing that truly makes a fighting game too difficult is if the only players are a handful of grognards, but I don't think Tekken 8 will have that problem. My first big fighting game revelation was to just throw out more quick pokes so that my opponent couldn't constantly power bomb me with their big windup moves.
