When and why should I ever sheath my sword as Yoshi?

Yellow ranks are about to be outta style
Jacob Torres
James Chen btfo tekken once again.
Jason White
So let me get this straight. Tekken isn't so much a game where you play the other person but more just taking turns beating on each other and whoever can remember the punishes more correctly wins? Sounds like ultimate kusoge.

i don't think i'm gonna make it through tonight without having an aneurysm.
Brandon Gray
I think this is wrong. Around yellow ranks most players know the character they're fighting well. By orange they definitely know. It's massively about mind games. Is he gonna step? Down jab? Is a crush move incoming? You have to find out patterns in their play style and while not trying to predictable yourself. You have to know the frame data for many moves and how they act on certain frames (-4 to +1). Gotta be able to bait moves, condition just like every other fg. Some characters like Kazuya demand that you dominate your opponents mind or you're never going to win.
Other things to remember is how reliably can your opponent backdash, how good he's at whiff and block punishing etc
I wish tekken was as simple as you put it maybe i could climb the ranks faster :p
Lincoln Myers
Not him but in the end I just don't think memorizing frame data is fun or even intuitive. Why is there such an emphasis on this in Tekken? All games have frames but you don't here NRS, SF or Anime players sperging about frames constantly.
Evan Rivera
There is just as much focus on frames in other games. They just don't have 100 moves per character so you can learn frame data pretty quick just by throwing out your fastest moves after blocking etc.
Henry Bennett
gee, it's almost like block and whiff punishing are like, the most reliable source of damage, and to take advantage of this, you need to know frame data
but idk what do i know im a sperg according to this 17er
Jordan Jackson
>tfw you bought the season pass
Jace Moore
geese will save tekken
Hunter Hill
You earn those "turns" through knowledge and execution. Knowledge of both the game and your opponent. That includes knowing the properties of moves so you can react accordingly.
Caleb Morales
Sounds like they have much better design
Nathaniel Gray
Then go shitpost in their general. Or any general for a game you actually play.
Colton Foster
You're trying to act like what you're complaining about is only true for Tekken, but it's just fighting games in general, newpal
Jackson Hall
Tekken is stuck in the past but people keep eating Harada's shit.
Aaron Reed
It's really not. It's there to a lesser degree at least. Tekken is cool at first but it's pretty trash when you break it down.
Lucas Ramirez
you aren't fooling anybody, newfriend
Camden Lopez
which new fighting game out right now is better than tekken, in your opinion?
Lincoln Jones
They're all shit. That's not the point.
Cooper Perez
So why are you focusing on tekken and not all of them? Why are you here and not in /fgg/?
Oliver Powell
Awe did someone insult tekken? Grow a pair dude.
Blake Gonzalez
...
Ryan Lewis
Lmao struck a nerve. Thin skin tsk tak
Grayson Walker
friendly reminder that you 17ers don't need to play tekken if it's too hard for you
we'd much rather discuss things that are actually worth discussions than read how backdashing is too hard and its bad design
Henry Rivera
>waaahh
Wyatt Collins
>lmao
Joseph Perez
@188528145 >doesn't address any of my points So you just came here to shitpost eh? Well, you have school tomorrow so you should probably get some sleep or else you might be grounded by your parents.
Dylan Cooper
You guys sure love your strawmen
Camden Bell
So you did come here to shitpost. At least be good at it my dood.
Luis Stewart
You're autistic.
Elijah Rivera
@188529171 >This is the 13th IP in the thread.
Gavin Parker
You guys literally cannot accept criticism towards your game. Any time someone tries you just shriek go bakc to fgg
Gabriel Lopez
if frame data intimidates you fighting games are not for you beyond a casual level. that's ok.
Logan Rodriguez
You had people give proper counter arguments to you and ya went ahead started talking shit. They did accept your "Criticism". You're just here to shitpost/
Dominic Jenkins
out
Sebastian Gutierrez
why does aris keep talking about eggplants?
Tyler Hernandez
I dunno. Why does he stare at flowers
Benjamin Brooks
kof14 is better than everything out right now it just looks like shit
David Price
>tfw installed the uloadfast mod what a night and day difference
John Collins
Gonna be real with you guys. I wouldn't mind if every male character in this game were redesigned as a female. Make a brand new character but give her Jack-7's moveset and make her cute or sexy. Then I'd be encouraged to try other characters besides Lili, Asuka, Ling, Kat, M. Raven, Josie, etc.
Speaking of Jack, at this point whenever I see a Jack in a top-8 match I just skip the fight and watch the next one. There are more characters in this game besides Jack. Why does everyone have to pick him. If this keeps up or gets worse I'm just gonna stop watching these tourneys altogether. This game is already not very flashy or fast like anime fighters, but then these top-8 players pick the most boring characters possible. Might as well give the viewers some eye candy so they stick around? You don't even have to nerf him, just don't design him to look so ugly and boring to watch. Just make him a her.
There would have to be ZERO Jacks in the next 4 tournaments I watch, and only then will I stop skipping Jack fights. It's too late to convince me. He has already left his first impression on me so I can't stand the sight of him anymore. People just need to stop picking him for a while even if it's only one guy in the next top-8.
Carson Miller
no one wants to look like a bitch they rather play a chad character
Jack Miller
Chad-7 is based and high IQ. stop being jealous
Also what 'top 8's' should I be watching VODs of if I just got into tekken yesterday
Man I can barely do King's wavedash. I wish it was just a normal wavedash input
Nathaniel Johnson
Thanks baby
Levi Jackson
Just macro that shit senpai.
Juan Walker
there's no point to wavedashing with king lol don't bother
Nathaniel Davis
But wavedash into iSW or crouch cancel into Giant Swing tho...
Bentley Brown
I'll just break the throw. King is bad
Benjamin Ramirez
as someone who plays both kof14 and t7, i think they're tied for best current fighting game. they're both fairly well balanced and don't have much in the way of obnoxious bullshit. it's definitely a shame kof doesn't have the shininess and NA appeal of tekken because there really is a solid game under the shit graphics.
Lincoln Sullivan
Is it bad to just hammer out games without even really focusing too hard or trying out new moves?
I enjoy playing ranked but I get the feeling Im not playing it the way everyone else does
Alexander King
That's assuming you guessed right, His wavedash makes his throw game become a 33/33/33 with him being able to do a 1,2 or a 1+2 grab in wavedash but apparently that sounded too OP so they made it hard to even do.
Jaxon Brooks
>Is it bad to just hammer out games without even really focusing too hard or trying out new moves? yes
Cameron Phillips
if your goal is to rank up and improve do that, if your goal is to have fun, do that.
Jackson Sanchez
>don't have much in the way of obnoxious bullshit I feel like it's the opposite in Tekken Like every character has some dumb shit that makes them worth playing but annoying to play against
Colton Wright
you're right, that's what i should've said. tekken definitely feels like a case of "when everyone's broken, no one will be"
although i do feel like a handful of characters could use some buffs (which just might happen in the upcoming balance patch).
Tyler Diaz
or just buffer isw and gs out of pokes, king doesn't have anything scary out of crouch dash that is mid, unless you can somehow pull a fc df2 out of it instantly
they can just duck when you wavedash with little to no risk
Nolan Brooks
>demon dominating his opponents mind
Jordan Myers
Pretty sure he has plenty of WS mids that he can do out of crouch dash. Those would be the only incentive for the the opponent to keep standing so that he wouldn't eat those mids.
Hudson Miller
>tekken definitely feels like a case of "when everyone's broken, no one will be" except that its true
Ethan Lewis
Is there a character usage chart for this game? I'm really interested to see how used some characters are like nina and such
Brody Morales
...
Cameron Parker
ws1+2 and ws4 have terrible tracking and can be interrupted with crouchjabs
the point is that wavedashing with king takes a huge amount of effort for literally no reward
the reason why wavedashing with mishimas is so strong is because they have electrics and hellsweeps, and they have good tracking mids that they can pull out of it e.g kazuya ws2, heihachi and kazuya f4 and ff3 etc etc
king doesnt really have any of these, sure he has good throws to pull out of a crouchdash, but a solid opponent will be breaking them, even you somehow make them respect your wavedash
Jaxson Harris
Who is the highest IQ king player?
Cameron Butler
Tasty Steve
Blake Cruz
>Paul is everyone's favorite I'm literally having an aneurysm right now.
Tyler Ortiz
thanks m80
Kevin Edwards
He also has ws2,2 for his tracking move from crouchdash but it's not a launcher sadly and isn't that good.
Evan Perez
GET OFF ME *dances*
Joseph Turner
If you play Feng or anyone above him on that list you're a bitch.
>not only do Jin retards make the game lag but are also plus on everything >all this faggots moves are near impossible to punish with a 10 frame move
good hopefully Leo, Jin, Akuma, Eliza, Ling and Kazuya get slapped with a nerf
Levi Bennett
>there are people in this thread who don't play Lars If you don't play Lars, you aren't playing Tekken 7.
Wyatt Carter
>if you aren't playing unga bunga no fighting style character, you aren't playing Tekken 7 sounds about right
Nicholas Rodriguez
uh uh uh UH
Leo Walker
tekgen how do we deal with this character bitching crisis? how do we get 017ers to stop filling the thread with character bitching and force them to go learn the matchup instead?
