How the FUCK do you block in this game...

How the FUCK do you block in this game? I throw out punches at the other guy somehow blocks them 100% of the time and he does the same thing and I'm suddenly juggled for 10 minutes. It doesn't help that most characters only seem to have mids and highs and lows are a rare species in this game.

Just hold back

hold back

Just dont mash buttons like an autistic ape and try to time them

Literally does not work

Well you're doing it wrong.

>The eternal 9th kyu the post

Block in reverse from other games, you want to be standing block most of the time. Lows are basically overheads in Tekken.

Hold back to block high and mid. Hold down back to block low. You can't block until the animation of a move has finished. You are probably pressing too many buttons and are getting counterhit or punished.

Have you tried not mashing and just pressing nothing at all? Like how the fuck do you even breathe?

Not all the mids are actually mid, they look like mid but end in low.
These attacks serves to punish the all low blockers.
Also, you should learn the universal low parry.

you play 3 instead

This pleb can't block and you are telling him to low parry?
Op don't listen to this guy. Just play vs the computer and do thing but block.
Start practicing blocking then punishing then movements like backdashing and sidestepping. Just take it slow there is a lot to learn.

>tekken 3 was the best because I could spam with Eddy and beat my friends.
You are just trash.

>lows are a rare species in this game.
just press down/f or b +kick?

Fuck you, I used Yoshi and Xiaoyu in 3. Yoshi used to be way more fun than he is now. Xiaoyu was significantly more evasive in 3 as well.

this guy can't block and you're teaching him to block punish?
OP don't listen to this guy.
just learn how to block lows mids and highs before anything

how are buttons even real hahahaha like just hold back lmao hahaha

Fuck you too, also you clearly haven't played t7 then because both of those things have not changed? Xiaoyus aop is still busted after nerfs and yoshi is still a party character. But whatever man.

>you clearly haven't played t7 then because both of those things have not changed
Not that user, but Yoshi went under a rework between 3 and 7.

Pretty much all characters have slightly altered movesets at the core its still the same character.

very confusing and shit thread. if you are getting launched into full combo when stand blocking you are literally only getting hit by the slowest sweeps in the game, or an unblockable which is even slower and more telegraphed.
post tekken babes instead

Shut up, Lili

So how does this game even work? I fought a Steve and do nothing and block his hits but the millisecond I go to attack and I my ass slaughtered. There seems to never be a safe window to attack. He can press buttons endlessly and is fine and I press one and am destroyed.

Steve is a very safe characteralso, his damage is low without counter hits and doesn't have a good launcher without counter hits. You just have to side step, make him wiff or mix him up.

What the FUCK are mixups? I keep hearing that shit and I have no fucking idea what it means.

>keep getting thrown
>there are ~3 throws per character in game
>it's a total gamble if you can react fast enough with the correct buttons to break it

Main thing that pisses me off t.b.h.

>j-just look at if he uses his left or right arm to throw

Yeah if I was Sonic the Hedgehog maybe I can react that fast, but I can't even SEE which arm he's using it comes out so damn fast. There are literally (literally) 100 moves a character could be doing at any given chance, I can't learn all the start-up animations for all them x40 characters. Fucking hell, literally a game made for Korean robots.

Attacks or throws that make it difficult to defend against.

>take a few days break
>decide to play again
>normal warm up routine of treasure fights
>get rocked or AI does absolutely nothing
>decide to just play something else

Also can't remember combos.

Unless they're using command throws, you can break any regular throw with 1 or 2 and the execution window is larger. This is a change from the previous Tekkens.

You get used to it after awhile

my cousin can win games by doing that, he is p good at apeing.

>you can break any regular throw with 1 or 2

I don't even know what you mean. There are 1+3 throws and 2+4 throws. You're saying I can break ALL of them with just a jab (1)?

It's a 33% chance at worst of you guessing wrong, for a lot of characters 50%, which if you think about it is a step up from how a large portion of fighting games do it and just have instant unblockable throws you can only tech by simultaneously throwing also.

As long as they're regular throws and not command throws then yes. Could be you were mashing and got hit while pressing a kick or something. Test it out in practice mode, once you get grabbed, mash 1.

Alright thanks didn't know that. Maybe I did but forgot. I bought the game on release and haven't touched it much since about two months after that. I'll try it.

Who are these semen demons!?

How is Tekken 7 70+ GB while Soulcaliber 6 is 13 GB?

Tekken 7 has bowling

EL OH EL
Mixups are when your opponent thinks you will do one thing and you do another ie a you perform a 1,2 string then you do a 1,2,4 and your opponent doesn't expect the last hit.

Why are mixups good in literally every fighting game except mortal kombat where it's "50/50 bullshit"?

God Asuka is such a delicious babe. I don't even play Tekken

How is the playerbase on PC? If I get into it now will I just be constantly stomped?

A bowling game where the animations are universal shouldn't take space like that

i jumped on the other day and was getting instant games in low ranks.
yes you will be constantly stomped in any fightan game as a new player except SoulCalibur because it attracts MMO cosplayers, and MK11 because it attracts kids and normies.

if you're reading this don't bother playing tekken. odds are if you're stupid enough to browse Yea Forums you're too stupid for tekken

>block

nigga just attack you dont need to block if your enemy is dead

>Just attack you don't need to block
>Gets counter hit launched for 50%

As long as there's low rank players to play and I'm not getting stomped by 1k hour players at the start I'm fine with that.

Aris said playing Tekken online is bad so I don't know. The last time I tried it it took 10 minutes to find a match and I'm in the USA, not some backwoods third world hellhole.

Funny, I am from some backward third world shit hole and I find games quickly. Often against trash French players though.

No, lili is my wife.

Why are all the Tekken girls so boring? They are completely hollow husks with a shallow one note quirk to try to make them stand out. Julia is your prototypical tree hugging hippie. What else is there to her? Nothing that shows through in her fighting style or intros/outros. Mid-battle she just stands totally still like everyone else. Compare to SFV and Ibuki where she has a cool idle animation of flailing her kunais around if you wait. Tekken needs stuff like that to inject some personality into these ladies.

Probably audio files tekken has more voice acting and music just a guess though
