It's all so very confusing.
Is there an easy way to do WS moves out of crouch dash? I get it kind of consistently on training mode but I know that won't be the case in a match? Any tips? Also im on stick and labbing Raven
DB is how Ive done it. As Steve, when I do my DCK stance cancels and such, I can hit - and very slightly hold - DB just as I see him duck. I hold it maybe a couple frames.

I just think you try to play to many games at once man need to chill and focus on one.
You're not wrong , but that's kinda what I'm driving at with that comment. I either choose a very effective character that lets me concentrate on the game, and not worry too much about anything else right now, or trim Tekken from my game rotation.

Really, at the moment Im not playing anything in a focused way.. I get bored and just find sets in whatever game I can for a bit. Trying to find what I actually want to play - if I can play anything. Not trying to sound too emo about things, but been super bummed about my hands lately and just kinda in limbo. Not sure what i should play, or if Im just setting myself up for disappointment, and blah blah whine whine whine.

Tekken isn't demanding execution wise in terms of long sequences, which is where I struggle the most. Tekken obv has some hard shit, but combos are usually relatively short and the point - USUALLY. It's more about speed and timing.. the speed thing gets me occasionally though. DBFz has the easiest and most lenient execution.. well, probably ever, but it's very long sequence stuff, even neutral is based on long sequence blockstrings and such - but DBFz is just FUN. SFv is.. Honestly I have no idea. For some reason that game is like a bad exGF.. You know better. You KNOW better.. but every so often you just get this urge to call it back up, and hang out. Its not bad at first, you start wondering why you le... OH JESUS GOD NOW I REMEMBER FUCKING CHRIST WTF IS HAPPENING OMG

Mr. Righteous
I am giving some serious thought to dropping this game.. Or picking up Drag. Im serious.
I just think you try to play to many games at once man need to chill and focus on one.
AGREED! You should be at the most focusing on 2 games max. You're kinda like me, so i feel your frustration more than anybody. Always wanting to try EVERYBODY yet kinda get lost on who you identify with the most. Best thing ive done to stop this is once you feel comfortable with a character(s) STICK WITH EM! Learn the ins and outs of that person, THEN you can venture out trying other characters.

And dont forget, Noctis comes out tomorrow! OH MY SWEET GURKEEEEEEEENS!

Was defeated early by Xiaoyu and Devil Jin. My lack of MU XP against Xiaoyu and my fear against D.Jin got me killed. Reason for D.Jin is that if I try to juggle him, he recovers in mid-air.

In the corner, I did the tech OKI I found out, and is confirmed as more good than the simple 3 and prevents the wakeup attacks no matter what they do. Lol.

Maybe I'm really salty over the losses, but I got the limited MU XP, at least. I will be back more stronger and readier in Vienna.

I did. Of all the players in Greek tourney I was the only Eddy. There were only 2 Xiaoyu, one Miguel, one Gigas, one King, one D.Jin, one Josie, one Kazumi, some Bryan, 2 Pauls, and a lot of Mishimas.

Hey, its Monday so i understand lol :)

Noctis is the new DLC character from Final Fantasy 15 that will be released tomorrow and im pretty fucking sure like 99.9% of ppl will play him just to try him out.

I am kinda excited about trying Noctis. If he doesn't click I'ma just play Dragunov. He's always been a favorite, but i.avoided him because I figure that he won't make me a better Tekken player exactly.

But really, I don't think I care. I just want to enjoy myself. Steve is just so tedious sometimes having to deal with his stances to access what I want. I get that that's how he's played, I just mean from my own perspective.. a lot of time my enjoyment bled into tedium and when I'd.have something go well and a sequence work out, instead of being hype I was more like 'fina-fucking-ly.. ugh' and that's rarely a good sign

He looks interesting from the streams Ive seen so far.

Tons of range, some really stout looking approach tools, though it looks like a lot of his stuff is mid/long rangy.

I see a lot of mids and their speed LOOKS to be kinda deceptive. He has a lot of flashy animation and effects, and that all resolves very quickly.. a lot of times that kind of stuff makes moves look faster than they are because there's so much visual info to process.

Seems tricky. That parry/counter. Movement built in to his kit.

Seems to have a lot of combo potential.. From what Im seeing a TON of his stuff leads in to more damage.

Damage I dunno yet. I think he's getting like 60-62 off his BnB/typically landed launchers. BUt Ive seen stuff up intot he 70's off one or two other moves.

Really good wall carry.

I saw what looked like a Leo/Paul-esque low that's part of a NC string and does decent damage., Only seen it once thus far so didnt get a good look at it. Dunno if it was CH or not either, but it didnt appear so. Also just saw what looked liked a low starter that led into a smaller combo.

Opponent is never safe, no matter where they are on the screen.

Havent gotten a good look at his static SS and dashes in a context that make it easy to tell how good they actually are.

Noctis looks CRAZY.


*****THIS IS NOT A LITERAL OBSERVATION ON HIS COMPETITIVE STRENGTH*************

However, he's one of those characters that LOOKS really REALLY strong out of the box, and extremely overwhelming. No one knows frame data yet and in Tekken knowledge is everything, so knowing when/how/where to push buttons and SS is everything.. so a character people dont know how to fight yet can look broken simply because he gets away with so much. I am not saying Noctis is any different. But with some characters you sit there and watch and you think "I dunno, he may be ok. Gotta see how it works out" but with Noctis, when I watch him it's kinda the opposite.. its more like "Jesus christ he needs a hotfix". This is also ridiculous players playing ranked vs mostly regular humans and they can make anyone look broken.. but I just mean Noctis' speed and crazy animations and combos and everything.. he LOOKS overwhelming AF.

So again, disclaimer. I AM NOT SAYING HE IS WEAK OR STRONG OR ANYTHING. I am simply saying he's one of those characters that appears very very strong out of the gate. Take Bane from Inj2 or... maybe Blanka from SFIV. If you dont know how to fight these characters they look just plain fucking broken. Absolutely broken. but once you know more specifics about them and understand how they work, they become more manageable (though Bane still wrecked my shit)
