Man, FUCK fighting this character

I'll bump, and hopefully this can become a real tekken thread.
Why the elitism? i just started playing, i practiced for a few hours and i feel like i get the general feeling of the game. I don't play that often but i have fun when i do. I main king. However I always feel so intimidated and demotivated to play fighting games when everyone expect me to be a good from the get go.

>you have to recognize and react to Hwo's stance niggery, know all his options and when he's plus, when to guess the mixup
>Hwo can just mash his flow chart and put the burden on you to react

This is what makes Hwo a fucked up character at all levels except pro play.
You have to spend many hours in practice mode to build the muscle memory to fight Hwo when he doesn't have to do it for you, because he's on the offensive most of the time. When was the last time you saw a Hwo with good defense and correct punishment?

You have abhorrent taste. This looks like a bootleg KOF character from the early 00's

i fucking despise fighting hwo, hes linear as fuck tho so just step him to whatever side his stomach is facing if hes in flamingo and step him left if hes not in stance

It still looks like shit. Again. Tekken is Hit or miss. This character may play fun but I don't want to go anywhere near this design.

>This looks like a bootleg KOF character from the early 00's
pretty funny considering hes south korean and a majority of south koreans also use taekwando lmao

>leather vest
>chaps
>spurs
this is some incredibly gay character design

how he looks represents people who play him really good

This is almost as gay as Lars. Probably more.

I only play based characters

>like King because grapplers are cool and he looks cool too. Also i like his moveset in general
>lol ur furry
stop this

King is bad ass. Unlike characters like OP. What were they thinking? Why is half of Tekken's cast so gay?

Idk how someone can call you a furry when King's mask looks like an irl tiger and not those weird cartoony masks furries actually wear. King is based ignore the haters.

I also don't like jin and kazuya mostly because of their personality. They're way too edgy. It's sort of cringe imo.

No.

Thanks. It's just my dumb friends. They also think im a fag because he's really muscular and shirtless.

your friends sound like closet fags. he is a wrestler, what the hell are they talking about
Anyway, King is cool. he is honest (b1 is broken), but at the same time he has so many gimmicky set ups... he is a great character

b1 aint broken at all tho?

>playing tekken ranked for first time ever
>have 7 loses 2 wins
>Fight a mighty fucking ruler king
>I somehow win one round
>Proceedes to perfect me with a sleeper choke up
>Next round he puts me in a leg lock into bow and arrow
>Rematch it because fuck it
>He ends the set with a tomb stone pile driver
I don't know how to feel about playing tekken anymore

its fine to get whooped by higher ranked players than you, idk how youre fighting mighty rulers in ranked if youre i assume somewhere in teal or greens. Mighty ruler players are super ass tho so you prob couldve beat him with gimmicks alone

I can understand Jin being edgy, because he’s so broody all the time. But Kazuya is just playing his part as the villain. There’s really no moral conflict within him, which suits him.

Im not even that high I'm 2nd fucking dan I think its because I flicked over the setting not paying attention and it was the middle of the night

i always get counter hit by it; you cant really pressure and check king with d/f1, its gonna get ya
its not a panick button like d+1+2 i think it is? the mid launcher that crushes highs. but b1 is still too good of a tool to have

it dont matter bro just keep improving.
this is me and even I was stuck in silvers and teal for a while. Its just practice

Yeah b1 is really nice to pull off on counter hit, i'm really low level so it still works for me. While talking about moves, I honestly have a lot of trouble buffering into giant swing. Myabe because i play with a controller, its probably easy with a stick, but i can't fucking do it consistently. I can do instantly knee to the face and the bread and butter combos and general gameplan of king. I watched a 2 hours video explaining how to play him. I cant fucking do those half circle inputs.

In tekken, every character is "that one character"

You need to stop pressing buttons against him if hes using b1 that much. Also you need to realize that b1 along with its extension are both highs so you can duck and launch him. d1+2 is pretty slow so if he does that as his mixup you can fuzzy it. If he starts hopkicking you when you duck just fuzzy it and punish him. King really isnt too hard to deal with

A lot of the character personalities are cringe. I guess that's why not many of the characters have the same lasting effect on my as other games. In a game this silly, I tend to gravitate towards those that feel more jokey, or at least have some fun with their designs. King, Paul, Jack, Yoshi, Marduk. Hell even Negan.

But it's not like fanservice silly, like a lot of Tekken tends to be. I don't necessarily see the Mishima's as cringe though, they're about the only thing in the entirety of the series that I find interesting.

Honestly when i played on pad i did giant swing motions with the actual stick instead of the dpad. But buffering it really isnt too hard the input is pretty lenient
streamable.com/p7fqs practice something like this but instead of ending with 1 jab isw do a raw giant swing as the ender, that should help you practice

It's a fighting game nearly all the dudes are muscular and shirtless?

Tekken is probably the only game I can think of where the game would be better with a smaller character list. Having to learn a matchup and which moves to punish and how wouldn't be that bad if you didn't have to do it with 60 different matchups. Like 10% of the learning experience is actually learning your own character or even how to play tekken and the other 90% is matchups.

VF6 fucking when.

I miss classic Tekken proportions

thank you. I'll practice it.

I do appreciate that at least the classic cast still have their old stances and silhouettes. Paul's stance is perfect at how old school he feels.

oh also
>frame data is paid dlc
Was it really necessary to be this greedy?

Im not sure if i should buy armor king, or maybe even marduk. I would like to have them but i only play king at a low level and paying for other characters seems like a waste of money. Maybe i should just focus on king for now.

ak plays nothing like king but hes pretty cool. The frame data was 3 dollars and most games dont even have frame data. I got it just to check on a few things, but Its not really necessary considering you can look at all the frame data online. I find it kind of useful for the fact that you can use it while spectating and looking at replays along with being in practice mode

>frame data which you can look up online costs money
>punishment training which probably took like 10x the effort is free

I don't get it

Just block mid and watch for the super unsafe -100 low that every hwoa will eventually do and launch punish that shit, or just kbd like a mad cunt and whiff punish. Hes frustrating but it aint that hard.

>mfw Drag is being slept on these days that its easy to catch people unguarded

i aint sleep on that stupid fucker for even a second. Hes easily top 10

Tekken is fun. I just wish this board didnt have a 3mb webm limit

I knew the risks of maining King. I just embrace it.

just backdash

Tekken 7 is a predictable follow-up to a series that's never aimed particularly high, it may please casual gamers for a day or two but the stagnant ongoing series is definitely in the second tier of fighters way below Capcom or NetherRealm Studios games, and it's seriously getting old and tired. The lack of depth and subtlety and the emphasis on the offensive, rather than the defensive, puts this squarely two notches below the best in the genre, the "who-can-get-their-super-move-off-first" gameplay leaves much to be desired from a serious fighting game player. Like the prequels, Tekken 7 is geared towards casual gamers and anyone who's been exposed to more technical, more dynamic fighting games will quickly pass on tekken. Other top fighters, namely Street Fighter, DoA and MK games have advanced impressively in their latest installments; but the relic that is tekken just can't seem to evolve, furthermore many combos can be done simply by hitting 1-button, and the nearly "instant-kill" rage art moves are just laughably broken. Instead of a supplying a proper fighting engine, matches in T7 seem to rely heavily on "who can get their rage move off first". So many elements of the gameplay don't even require any sort of skill. In my book, slow motion over and over again also gets old very quickly. And in the end, it's more of a novelty or gimmick rather than an actual, thought-out fighting game mechanic. But hey, the casual crowd will be pleased!

If you want something a little more "button-masher-friendly," tekken might be your cup of tea.... Key word, might.

Just use the libre mask

i would fuck him alright

good shit. 2 things tho, heihachi db2 can be launched with ws2, and df12 can be twin pistoned. Just wanted to let you know

Didnt know about the df1,2 but did know about hei's db2 being ws2 punishable. I wanted the hellsweep mix after the ws4 to keep him in the corner/wall break but it only kind of worked. Ty.

Ignore my fucked up wavedash ws4. KOFTekken is a fucking god.

yeah ive played him a few times hes pretty decent. Good to see other people playing kazuya. My kaz just hit raijin the other day and im trying to get true tekken god by april

Yeah Kaz is fun and I dont feel like a total scumbag like when i play Jin. Too bad literally everything you want to do that isnt EWGF is punishable.

Oh no, he's hot
