/tekgen/ - Tekken General

You want dis?

talk to me in discord if you want to buy it

Do we really need to post the console release date and steam announcement in the OP every time?

yeah welcome to tekken where the hardest part of the game is also the most essential part

Nah, just become comfortable with making space and using side steps and dashing

PS4 online fixed yet?

FINALLY A BEST GIRL EDITION

positioning yourself between guards, combos, etc.
sidestepping
and your punishing game

Feng's ss4 is pretty much unseeable.

patch soon, nigger

POKKEN TOURNAMENT DX CONFIRMED

Our little cousin is alive

This is probably the most important tip I've seen. This is what Tekken is all about.

It's going pretty well for my first 3D fighter but it will probably all start falling down soon

For me, it's Miguel

It's like i20 startup (which is quick for a low launcher but not unseeable by any means), only launches on CH and range 0. Block it and it's a launch for the entire cast.

The animation is kinda weird to block because he sorta lifts his shoulder before going low, but its not unseeable

>winning super hard
>opponent presses R1
>lose all the advantage I had
epic mechanic

Is button binding legal in T7 majors and locals?

I mean i mostly play online but if i plan to go outside at some point i want to learn things properly right from the start.

It's i18.

Have a (You)

>not blocking the blatantly obvious move

Can't wait to play as frog Miguel.

Actually launches on normal hit now, but you have to be close enough to get a clean hit with it. Still seeable and on par with other snake edge-esque moves.

I don't like RAs either but I can't complain when I get hit by them. The game tells me in advance that my opponent has it.

I would assume so, the only advantage you get is preference.

>I can't stop pressing buttons

Only the last pixel matters kid.

On the topic of movement, when should I be looking to backdash vs sidestep? I've been playing a ton of Steve so my go to plan is hit em with some b+1s and/or d1+2s then backdash to look for the whiff. Sometimes though, I feel like I should've sidestepped the attack seeing how Steve's sidestepping is apparently a key part to his game. What do you guys think?

It's legal.
There are other things you should worry about.
Such as trading shirts at the end of the set.

Is this as awful a choice for someone's first fighting game as it looks?

My side dashes don't feel very effective, is it because I'm playing Gigas and he's got a massive hitbox?
I just need to know if it's that or I'm timing them wrong

thinking about picking up Miguel as a secondary because he's so goddamn sexy

this is so fucking fucking funny
need to see croagunk doing miguel's RA animation next

Only hitboxes may be illegal and I'm not even sure about that, I remember Aris being extremely butthurt at those

neone wanna play some tekken 7 pc? eu

Is Miguel the most handsome Tekken?

Well i what i meant is binding grabs and dual button inputs to the shoulder buttons

You can do everything a hitbox does on a pad.
If you ban hitboxes you should also ban pads.

No, but people will copy any of the OPs for the new thread, no matter how outdated or poorly formatted.

>Get so nervous I start shaking

No,but he is the manliest

I thought it said "Gomen". Now that would have been a good picture.

That's Bob

Gigas does have a huge hitbox but you could also have timed them wrong.

Am I the only who can't stop fantasizing about Katarina?

>why did he land a Rage Art on me

How is Paul not the manliest character?

How Kasumi doesn't lose her shoes when she's giving kicks?
Doesn't seems very practical to me.

Hitboxes are legal, they just make certain types whine and cry. A point in their favor, really.

It really is a shit mechanic, so I can understand. The fact it has armor and comes out instantly in a game where you can easily react to your opponent moves is dumb. The fact they thought this was a good idea is retarded.
>muh esports epik plays

I first got interested in fighting games after playing Tekken Revolution and then buying TTT2.

>Feng

He's Kuma's bitch

Armor activates on the 9th frame

It doesn't come out instantly.

>comes out instantly
Most rage arts are slow as shit, actually.

>muh esports epik plays

Yeah you see Rage Arts deciding matches between high level players almost every round

Here's your (You)

(You)

But I play Leo!!!!!

>why can't I just keep pressing buttons

I know this is bait, but come on man, it's not hard to stuff RAs at shitter rank like me

Playing low IQ characters is fun. Maybe I'm low IQ.

Leo is cute

Is it a coincidence that the ones who complain about new mechanics are always shitters?

Is there any good combo off Josie ch ws3?

Are you playing Jin?

At the very least 2 weeks.

As long as you have fun

>can't get the hang of kbd

No I'm playing Leo. I wouldn't call Jin a low IQ character.

I don't know man, he's quite unga bunga sometimes.

It ain't perfect but its getting there.

Nope, same whiney bitches that complain about spam and brain dead characters. They rather cry than take a lost and try to improve.

>tfw winning a 1 bar match

What a sad state of affairs that the only useful resource Tekken community has is a japanese wiki that uses anime notations.

*knocks you down at the wall with df2+3*
My turn! My turn again! It's my turn!
This is fun!!!!!!!!

Which Tekken girl has the best porn?

Jin is the highest IQ though

the japanese notation is easy to read though, it's probably even easier for newcomers

It still punishes anyone that decide to throw out a single attack since everything in this game is slow enough to be reacted to. You can just wait for your opponent to go for an attack and then boom, you can punish it with a RA. The time it take for a person to recover from a move is not enough to stop their self from getting hit by a RA.
This game being played from the neutral is still easy enough to land RAs. When your opponent is gonna go for an attack, you can easily react to it and just RA on them.
If you base the fairness of RAs on the opponent predicting and failing a RA instead of an opponent reacting with an RA, then you wouldn't understand.

*mashes 1+2 from disadvantage*
*hopkick into parry*

>mfw moonrunes with numpad notation is easier to understand than american tekken notation

Yet the "Tekken community" refuses to use it.

>Tekken
>porn

Asuka, I'd say

Whenever my opponent has rage u play super defensively and bait it out, block, and punish

Is super easy if they always use it

Or you could backdash, launch and do way more than what the Rage Art did.

Yeah the american notation is shit but it takes like 5 minutes to learn both

>you can react to pokes with RA
that's false and you're a scrub

>it takes like 5 minutes to learn

You're over doing the movement I bet, make sure you're transitioning b into bd as tightly as possible to make sure you don't go d. You should barely feel as though you're moving your stick down.

Which do you think is better, the Hori Fighting Commander 4 or 5? I'm leaning towards the 5 because I've read it has a better dpad.

>stick

I-I've always used a pad. But thanks I'll keep trying

Agreed

Well you can react, but it's another question if it's in time or efficient.
Against that kind of twitchy players, I'd just throw a jab in the air, block the RA and do punish of minimal damage, as I'm a shitter with no good combo-execution.
