Dude, I'm probably older than you. As for the phrase, it's just a meme that's being used a lot lately. Senpai is suppose to mean your elder or something like that. To be honest, I'm not sure either since I haven't watched much anime myself.

It's kind of ridiculous that Ultrachen have to say stuff like "Daigo could make top 256 and we would just shrug it off".

He fucking finally broke character. I'm learning the concept of whiff punishes and footsies and holy hell, a whole new world has opened up to me. Not your run of the mill footsies game where buttons are just thrown out but an actual neutral game. Bless your soul Juicebox.

He's been taking our money for more than 15 years. You build up a reputation of being THE best after a while. Dude is getting older btw, he'll eventually retire, I'm just surprised he's held on for so long.

@Sayah, I think you mean JDCR wins Tekken 7, not Knee. Knee isn't going to be there :P
Click to expand...

Knee really not going? That's a shame.
I'm not voting JDCR. He's been losing so consistently in Tekken 7. Who else is good? lol. I don't follow top players that much. And the ones I do follow are not going to win because they're American and have barely any experience.

Edit: Fark it. I'm just gonna put JustFrameJames. He's gotta win one of these years.

Not even gonna lie. I don't know even know who he is. Just saw him listed at the top.

I'm just participating in Dahbomb's challenge for fun.
 
JDCR's movement was better than any other player in the last Tekken Crash episode. Based on that alone, I think he's gonna take T7.

It's a really simple concept based on screwing with your opponents twitch reactions and expectations and natural impulses.

The thing that's very hard to impossible in crappy netplay due to A players being dumb/bad and B lag making it very impractical because it's so sensitive to timing.

Although what do I know about footsies, I tried playing the Yatagarasu demo and it matched me up against a JP player. The delay was so bad that I had seconds to punish the poor JP player's jump in attempt.

Interesting thanks. I'll take a look in the morning.
 
This EVO is just crazy. Red Bull salty suite, hundreds of thousands in the pot, 8 streams, appearances by major upcoming games, direct support from multiple publishes, Smash Bros., everything.

It's awesome to see the progression in the community. It always feels incremental every year but this year has really turned up quite a bit. I'm feeling the magic.
