It is the official fighting game of dumb mashers and a small minority of complete autists who learned frame data for five thousand moves and labbed out how to fuzzy block like two hundred strings. It's the most rage inducing fighting game because stupid gimmicks remain strong up until the very highest echelons of play.
It's shit. Seriously, don't play it.
this
Which fighting game should I play instead then
Do i want, play Tekken 7 and SFV and no one can stop me. No one can make me take a side.
SFV, Under Night, Mortal Kombat (yes MK is better than Tekken), DBFZ, or Smash Ultimate (who gives a shit whether it's a fighting game, it's fun, easy to get into, and very active). You could also play old stuff on Fightcade
If you're a beginner and you want to learn traditional 2D fighters I recommend SFV, the online is populated thanks to cross play and it is very basic and easy to learn
I'll just go play Samsho.
Samurai Shodown was always a side game that people screwed around in. It has very little depth, and the new title is kind of clunky and it has a boatload of more specific problems.
Don't play SamSho. Just don't do it.
>the new title is kind of clunky and it has a boatload of more specific problems.
Who said I was going to play the new game? 5sp it is.

Butthurt sageposter LITERALLY CRYING after he has been exposed for his mashing ways
>not chickening every single move in tekken
>think this is mashing
Weak
>i-it's a casual button masher!
>i-it's too complex, it's for autists who lab everything!
Pick one.
You hate it because you suck at it.

>Begging people to not play a game he doesn't like
How pathetic
What a stupid post.
>stupid gimmicks remain strong up until the very highest echelons of play
This is true, though.
It's literally both
Casual players can mash random shit and combos and mix up strings will come out because there's so many moves. High level players can deal with the mashing and the mix up strings, and they play a very precise spacing game where they twitch around and use only a tiny subset of any character's moves.
Most players aren't high level players, ie most Tekken enthusiasts on the internet are either mashers or they're trying to improve in an ocean of mashers.
So there's a very low skill floor and an absurdly high skill ceiling. Isn't that like the dream of every competitive game?
No because it takes a Herculean effort before you overcome all the dumb gimmicks.
There have literally never been more options for dealing with mashing than you're given in Tekken. Throws are unbreakable if the person inputs the wrong break, beating mashers. There are hyper armor moves and low parries, if you know they're mashing you can literally just shut them the fuck down. Fuck, even consistent jabs will beat a masher since you'll be landing hits first while they're inevitably whiffing or getting blocked unsafely. You don't need to be "autistic" to understand the flow of defense and retaliation, and if someone is really mashing there is so much you can do at a basic level to fuck them over.
Please do keep in mind that unlike in other fighters, in tekken the standing/crouching blocking rule is reversed. I'm thinking this might be what's getting you fucked by aggressive players since you seem to be more keen on other fighters. You always want to block standing unless you know a low is coming, a lot of nasty shit can hit you while crouching that when blocked standing can be punished.
So basically you just suck
If you don't want to put in the effort then you can play another fighting game. Not everyone wants games to be made easier. Some people enjoy challenge.
>playing any fighting game besides 3rd strike seriously
t. Emperor level Eddy players

>another person who is mad that Lili isn't top tier and loses cause he doesn't win instantly
Like fucking clockwork
Why yes i do play tekken and play in locals, how did you know?
based chloeposter dabbing on these fools
Imagine being this fucking bad at fighting games that you think this. Filtered and saged.
I do feel bad for people stuck in a scrub mentality like this. Don't blame the game and look inward for what the problem is. Like yeah there's goofy stuff in Tekken that you just have to figure out how to deal with, but most things that are difficult to learn (like a new language or an instrument) are filled with that too.
OP you better fucking come back on your break and respond properly.
I think part of that boils down to the sheer number of legacy moves in Tekken. Newcomers simply go in and think they need to memorize every single one of them, skip figuring out what the good-to-remember moves are, and resort to mashing. The game could do with a better in-game tutorial of some sort, but there is plenty of material online to help you learn anyway.
