How good do you want to get?
Tekken as a serious fighting game has a high skill ceiling but a high skill floor to go with it.
Elijah Rodriguez
Try not to get lost in the long move lists, you only need a handful of moves to play efficiently.

idk how good dude. im not trying to win any tournaments or even go into locals. just play online and play in a competent manner. So far I like Katarina
ok thanks. ya these movepools are pretty large but i did hear that you only need a select few great ones to use often.
Luis Jackson
I was thinking on getting this since I ended up refunding MK11. What version is good to get? Is it worth getting the one with all the season passes? How is the PC community in this?
Gabriel Myers
I just stuck with the standard one because its a nice price and I'm not interested in a handful of the dlc characters except for maybe geese and negan, which i'll probably buy individually at a later date. PC community is very alive 2k+ players right now which is great for a fighter on PC and one without crossplay at that.

I have it on PC and im still getting matches in seconds . I would give it another 2 years before it dies or the next tekken is announced.
Ian Bailey
People might say otherwise but you don't need to learn Korean Back Dash until fairly high ranks
Make full use of the fact the game is 3D
Ignore 10 hit combos completely
Learning other characters, even if just a little, can really help improve match-up knowledge and make you better
DO NOT FARM LAUNCHERS for the love of god, if you wiff or your launcher gets blocked do not keep doing it, you will get punished
I'd recommend only getting a season pass if the characters in that pass interest you at all
Learning a character in Tekken 7 is a pretty large commitment and if you pick someone that isn't DLC it's mostly just money wasted unless you want a reliable way to practice against them and learn their moves
Anthony Stewart
PC is few hundred people. Get it on ps4.
Caleb Richardson
why are 10hit combos bad?
Andrew Watson
>So far I like Katarina
Oooof course.
Isaiah Adams
10 hits (or rather 10 strings) are bad because they have specific points where they can be low-parried. They also have awful recovery if someone manages to block the whole thing.
Jaxon Garcia
of course what?
Josiah Fisher
A lot of them are not true combos, and can be easily interrupted. Also you need the juggles and wall carry for optimal damage anyway.
Brayden Gutierrez
katarina is a scrub lord, is what he's saying.
But she gets fairly used often in EU tournies, so dont mind him. Keep playing who you want and download nude mods for the ladies
Jackson Turner
learn movement
learn combos
learn blocking
learn punishing
learn low parry (this will break most shitters gameplay)
learn throw breaks
dont play mishimas until you git gud (highly complicated directional inputs and timing)
dedicate some time each play session to each, and watch better players play your dudes, watch youtube tutorials on all of this
you're gonna get owned a lot before you start owning
Brandon Evans
they just spam moves and one simple sidewalk will have you locked into an animation for several seconds leaving you back open to free throws/combos
Adrian Johnson
Hey, bitch, I put in a lot of time to be BARELY be competent using the Mishimas. I have the right to thumb my nose at people who use characters like that.
Although I do use Noctis.
Mason Lopez
u just contradicted yourself fag.
Ayden Kelly
got it thanks.
ya im just going through the cast to see what clicks with me
Jaxon Hill
try not to pick "noob" characters because that'll likely lock you into bad habits like movespamming / relying on low kick launchers etc. those will simply not work against competent players more than a couple times each game, or less. you have to learn to mix your moves up too, otherwise you'll be an open book to anyone with some training (and you'll lose exponentially harder the more you play the same people)
Jacob Sanchez
well idk who is falls into that category cause this is all new to me. i like king also.
Jeremiah Price
It takes a lot more time to learn a character then you think.
Also if anyone wants to play a few rounds on the pc version

Matthew Turner
basically "noob friendly" tends to be characters with spammable low kick launchers etc, crutches essentially. i haven't played 7 so i couldn't tell you the current ones.
king may still be difficult for a beginner, relied more on raw skill in 6 and lacked versatility. those meme throws won't work against competent players either, you'll get maybe 1-2 of them in before they get broken if you're lucky. you can basically play any character in the roster, you just need to learn the things i listed earlier:
movement, combos, blocking, punishing, throwbreaks, mixups
not playing noob characters might be harder at the very beginning but you'll gain an edge overall because it forces you to actually learn how to play
Carson Jenkins
don't lead new people astray when you have no clue what you're talking about
Colton White
is the globally? 3500 stretched across the globe is not a lot... and high pingers will straight up ruin matches.
Brody Sanchez
it's a hell of a lot more than "a few hundred". There's absolutely no trouble finding a match on PC, so there's no reason to count out PC for that.
Jayden Gomez
do you ever have to play against the same few players? and do you notice a sharp dropoff during offtimes? those are things that bother me about lower player count games
Brody Scott
King is a decent beginner character, but new players fall into the trap of relying on his throws to win. If you want to play him make sure you are learning your fundamentals. Also watch avoidingthepuddle's tutorials.
