Why though?

Sound like the words of someone who got their butt kicked

Tried her out yesterday and she's really fun, will probably be the first character I try to learn.

The only problem is that dang crying, I try to skip the win pose and it does stop but the voice clip still keeps playing

 

[yukimeans_snow]

Very first ranked match after the update was laggy as heck. First tournament also had an error. Fun times.

I've come to learn that many beginner players rely on high attacks as openers, so I need to learn to just duck and do a while rising launcher to punish

Cackling like a madman
boss is looking at me like I have three heads, lmao

omg that is hilarious LOL

I play Dragunov on on PS4 but I'm hopping on my xbox version right now in training mode to get used to my new fightstick.

Can you guys suggest a fighter that's kinda simple execution wise?

During the last tournament I watched people were saying that Kazumi is as well. They said that the new characters in general are easier to play.

 

[Marvel]

Aww man I don't wanna use that hooch lol, I will try her and kazumi put right this second xD

 

[eyeball_kid]

At least on PC, people still fall for random lows up to Brawler.

But then, I do run into people that seem pretty real because they block random shit most new players won't...

I then know I'm in trouble when I see that stuff :v

To be fair, there's a lot of suggestions online (even in this thread) that people should just ignore the lows.

Once again with feeling, "this game needs tutorials"

 

[TaterTots]

My TE2 Stick arrived, just messing around on KI practice to get a feel for it. Looking forward to making the fulltime adjustment and playing Tekken 7 with it.

They are fun to use lol, played pad all my life though so this will be tricky.

Good luck. I gave up because I can't do f,n,qcf moves on a stick consistently. Going back to pad.

Give Shaheen a shot. I've been playing him a bunch and he seems pretty straightforward to me.

 

[lucebuce12]

Aww man I don't wanna use that hooch lol

Did you just insult the best girl?

But seriously. Shaheen, Katarina and Kazumi are pretty easy to use. Kazumi does have pretty limited range though so you're gonna want to play a lot of offense and CHing.

 

[Marvel]

Haha Luce xD

Ok guys ty, just on kat right now gahdamn her inputs are simple. I will move through the list tonight to see who I like the best.

Iirc that's the mentality in VF as well.

It was hilarious when they invited Fuudo for a DOA5 exhibition, he was using the guest VF characters and was completely free to lows. The other dude spammed the hell out of them and it actually took Fuudo quite a while to start blocking low.

Panda is best girl, quit playing yoself.

 

[SquirrelSoup]

Its amazing how one move changes everything.Lars is actually largely the same ,but they took away his df+2.It was a critically important key move.

I think they intend for people to use b+4 as his replacement counterhit tool. They sped it up to be 15 frames like df2 was before and on CH it does that throw animation.

[lucebuce12]

Thoughts on Kazumi as a beginner character?

She has a small movelist, a VERY straightforward style and looks great. She doesn't require much in the way of execution but she is very offense oriented so expect being in your enemy's face a lot.

If most of that sounds appealing then go for it. Otherwise there are other easy characters you can learn the game with too.

 

[SarusGray]

Thoughts on Kazumi as a beginner character?

Shes great. Her fearless warrior stance might be confusing but besides that, simple char with a tiger. But don't expect her to be in tekken 8 lol

 

[Roubjon]

Thoughts on Kazumi as a beginner character?

She's who I've decided to main as someone who's never seriously played Tekken before and she's pretty manageable. Nothing really complicated going on when it comes to execution.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

My current ranked match experience:

Promotion chance > Lose first game > Win second game > No rubber match or promotion for me

 

[Marvel]

Wow kat is easy.

Thanks for the info.

I didnt know that.It would seem b+4 is gonna be important for him.

 

[lucebuce12]

Wow kat is easy.

Were you not paying attention when people said they got to 2000 wins on treasure battle by just picking Katarina and activating Turbo mode for the 3 button

Here's a tip if you're gonna play her:

1+1+2 is fucking fantastic. That string is +7 oB and +9 oH. So hit that string, then do a d/f+4 as a CH fish.

Wuuuut

I must have missed that lol

+7 oB from a 1, 1, 2? What the hell. I'm assuming this is a h, h, h string that doesn't jail??

 

[Manbig]

+7 oB from a 1, 1, 2? What the hell. I'm assuming this is a h, h, h string that doesn't jail??

Her 1,1 is a natural combo that leads to 4 options and she has the ability to go into harrier. 1,1,2 ends in a high that does not jail, but despite the +7 on block, it actually has some pushback. You can backdash most of her follow ups mid stage.

 

[lucebuce12]

+7 oB from a 1, 1, 2? What the hell. I'm assuming this is a h, h, h string that doesn't jail??

Yes, they're all high. 1+1 combos naturally but the 2 doesn't.

She still has:

1+1+1 which is a h,h,m that's -5 oB.

1+1+3 which is a h,h,m that's -7 oB and Knockdown on hit.

1+1+4 which is a h,h,m that's -19 oB but it's a launcher.

 

[Wallach]

Cripes.

 

[lucebuce12]

Best. Girl.

You, or anyone else looking to play Kazumi, might find my video helpful.

https://youtu.be/OKhlOTvsvzg

2,1 is cheeeeeeap.

Oh nice, thanks for this. I've been mainly sticking with Katarina while messing around with some of the cast in training mode but never really tried to "LEARN" them.

Kazumi's looking real fun and I should really try to learn her too.

Damn.

Sounds great.

I'll need to customize her tho

 

[giancarlo123x]

Are you fucking kidding me? 3 minutes trying to find a ranked match on ps4 and when I confirm it says connection to opponent lost. Reviewers should've torn this apart score wise,this is beyond frustrating now.

 

[lucebuce12]

Damn.

Oh god. After what you did to Akuma, I am not looking forward to this.

 

[Marvel]

What do you mean what I did to Akuma? he looked the tits son!

 

[dot]

Beating up people as Panda is hilarious omg

i think i actually made someone ragequit when i was gonna win my 3rd match ahaha

 

[Yudoken]

Treasure battle is very abusable and gets boring fast.
And there's to few variety matches.
I've played 77 fights and about 10 of them were turbo/juggle/high damage fights.

Hopefully there's more to come in the future.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Thoughts on Kazumi as a beginner character?

Very easy character to learn and a solid choice to start with. She has the standard Mishima 10frame punish which knocks down, and great pokes. She doesn't have anything very execution heavy like just frames, crouch dash cancels, etc. either.

 

[Cyanity]

Thanks for the info.

I didnt know that.It would seem b+4 is gonna be important for him.

His d/b+2,1 is a good block punish too

 

[giancarlo123x]

Finally got a match, platinum get.

 

[Melkezadek]

Feel like I'm going to have to momentarily give up on maining Kazuya for now. He's so damn cool, but seems to be kinda difficult to use. Still trying to get the hang of movement. Any good tips for using him effectively?

Thinking of trying Feng out, too.

Yeah I prefer Kazumi on stick. Like how she feels

[MistBreeze]

Realy great game online tournement feature is glorious...

But I can not deny the game is dry single player wise after you finish story there is nothing beside treasure battle , they destroyed arcade mode few matches and no CG endings is unfortunate

Also there is no tekken TV feature to watch replays for your matches and top players matches it was useful in TTT2

Beside the game is addicting, gameplay is pitch perfect and the best of the series and new characters are serprisingly fun to play

Yeah, wait until you're better at the game to use him. Kazuya isn't just newbie unfriendly because of his execution, it's also because he lacks common options like low-crush launchers and easy 50/50s. Using him effectively requires the player to be able to move correctly and that their punishment is on point.

 

[Apharmd]

Ay yo you guys seen the Tekken FB? Whoever's managing it is spicy AF telling people to git gud

I love it.

My mistake tbh

But Im a masochist so I continue to use him

I just wanna electric fools

 

[LowParry]

I never thought I'd see the day when the wife decides to play Akuma. And she's pulling his rage arts on the fly (no shortcut!).

 

[Rickenslacker]

This is the first Tekken I'm taking seriously, got a question, sometimes I'll hit my launcher but it won't knock the opponent in the air, they'll stay standing. What's the deal with that?

 

[Smooth Operator]

Try to check if your launcher isn't launching on Counter Hit only. Some "launchers" are like that.

 

[Doomshine]

Some launchers also won't launch people who are crouching, like Leo's df+2.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Try to check if your launcher isn't launching on Counter Hit only

It's Leo's d/f+2, which should launches on normal or CH when I'm trying it in practice.

Edit:

Some launchers also won't launch people who are crouching, like Leo's df+2.

Ah-haaaaa, alright, thanks.
