Believe in the hop kick
TJU is so hype. Ive been watching knee and jimmy j tran and bryan is such a sick character. Knee at evo japan with all those taunt cancels at the wall was soooo sick.

With the stick and pad problem im in the same boat. My movement is better on pad but hitting the tight link stuff like ch df2 PEWGF is heaps easier on stick. Im bouncing between the two atm.

I don't really know anyone who plays on a pad and has legitimately impressive movement with the backsway characters. I want to be able to move like this BKC guy, no matter how long it takes lol.

Yeah backsway movement like that is awsome. Cant say ive tried to master it as i have never picked up a backsway character. With the inputs it seems like it would be easier with a hitbox but he is killing it with stick. Guess like anything in this game it just takes time and parctice but yeah i dont think it can be done that fast on pad. But anything is possible

I was gonna mention this guy when I watched SS, that movement is so crispy. I also wondered what a pure defensive Paul would look like and this is the result.

You guys seen the new optical stick lever being released? Looks like it would be utterly amazing for Tekken play. You can digitally adjust the "zones" for the directional inputs, independently of one another as well, which would be incredibly strong for really fine tuning a stick. I'd imagine you could use it really effectively to improve your weak side by finding the natural way you move on that side, and adjusting the zones to match.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe it's all held in on-board memory, so you could fine-tune it on a PC then save the data and use it exactly like a normal stick afterwards, travel with it, etc.

As far as I know it's just a lever right now that either just went on sale, or goes on sale very shortly, and you replace your stock unit with it.

In the world of Tekken, with KBDing and SSing and Electrics and Wavedashing, etc it sounds like a dream come true for really zeroing in your stuff.

Looks like DVJ has been secretly nerfed. From what i have seen his electric, ff2, uf4 dont track and can be ss both sides.

Welcome to Akihabara
Kotaku stated that Noctis will get released next week.
If this is true, now that would be pretty amazing.
To be honest im not hype about him at all. I think he would have been a better choice for soul caliber. But if it brings more players in to try tekken its not a bad thing.

Back in training with Eddy. Exploring and discovering various combo starters. I plan to train all day till I get the muscle memory and know the combos off by heart. I'm training for Greek tourney coming soon at Athens. Once I finish exploring Eddy and know him off by heart, I'll try playing with Katarina (or Chloe). I'll be at Athens from Saturday (or Sunday) and plan to return back either Monday (or Tuesday).

I'll main Noctis for sure, so hype! Demo Man [possibily floor break], orbital that forces OC on block, Dragunov's d2, long range, footsies based. Looks like a Soul Calibur character, love it!
 

Sutter Pain

Your mothers main.
So it does not look like we are getting any old characters anytime soon. I should not of got my hopes up after he said "if" they release them they would be free.

I think it is funny, most of my friends think I am a hater for not having any sort of feelings about Noctis coming out.
Im right there with you, I don't know what there is to be excited about. I can see the Geese hype but Noctis as a guest is a horrible choice imho. I would literally be x10 more hype for jar jar binks.

But whatever I am sure there is like 7 people that do not even play the game anymore who are excited.

I think he looks interesting.

That said, I sat down for like two hours yesterday, playing primarily as Steve, vs a gold rank player. First time I've played in weeks. Utterly decimated in the first 80~% of the games, but started to remember how to Tekken towards the end and started taking rounds, then games. He played Leo/Kat mostly. Was fun, if a little frustrating. I've totally forgotten my punishment as Steve and he was spamming lows like there was no tomorrow, so I was leaving entire games on the table from nothing more than good reads into bad punishes.. and some weird frame stuff.. I'd cover some of my plus frames with a b1, or just straight up jab, or one of Steve's fast mids, and I'd lose Every. Single. Time. to almost anything he threw out. The most egregious was Katarina literally hop kicking my b1 though my own + frames three or four times. Almost had to put the controller down on that. We were super laggy in general though making for some weird shit.. I'd try to duck and launch the 2 in Kat's 112 triple H +8ob string, and I'd just eat all three hits on block every time...or block the low in her mid/low kick string. I'd read her snake edge, start to duck, SEE IT START UP, smile to myself at the punish to come.... Only to get hit into a combo.

Shrug. Don't get me wrong, I got mauled fair and square, but id have taken a game or two more than I did, and quite a few more rounds, had things not consistently played out to my detriment.. but then again, I don't know how much of MY stuff worked because he wasn't able to duck or SS or punish properly, so who knows. Maybe lagg carried me as much as it kicked me. I know this much though, when he was +, he was actually + lol. I tried to contest occasionally and ate shit for it.

Anyway. Point is, I had some fun. I need to play more Tekken .

Doing a hellish capo training here. Trying to find good OKI ender to prevent my opponents of ever standing/attack back.

The last time i played last week, i got fucked in my ass hard with multiple foots even decreasing my Vangaurd rank ;(

I REALLY need ALOT of practice to get good once again. DBFZ kinda fucked me up in this game lol. But with this Noctis released next week, im so on that shit. And would LOVE to train with a fellow Eddy main like myself ;)

Fortunately I'm a lab rat. I might have found a way to prevent them. Dunno if they work, but I'll try to find OKI enders, because they might be useful for the wall game.

For now, Eddy has a lot of whiff issues at the wall game. Most of his moves don't work there, so I'm trying to find a viable combo ender as extension, and I might have found some stuff. Dunno if I could call them techs, but will post them once I'm back from Athens.

Welp.

Im going to leave my post as-is, as testament to how fucking stupid I am.

I figured out why I was getting tagged out of my + frames so readily (atleast some of the time)..

Because.. Ya know.. I wasnt +. Im just a fucking moron and somehow bungled my notes. Sooooo. Yep. Sigh. Somewhat in my defense, I wasn't wrong every time, but one of the crucial things I was doing to try and set up some offensive breathing room was not at all +.

He certainly damn does! Its like the last hit of his strings don't hit against the wall unless u do that slap kick combo. I believe its F2,1,3....something like that. I forgot, its been awhile lol
