TEKKEN 7 |OT| How I killed your mother

I'm really struggling to find other people on PC, I have to just sit in warm up mode and hope someone finds me. Tournaments, ranked, or just regular online all come up empty for some reason :(

Odd. I'm out in the bum fuck no where, usually I give up on fighting games due to the lack of finding opponents. This has been one of the few games where that's not the case. That's not to say I don't have to wait like 5 minutes to find someone, but still atleast I DO find someone.
 
Didn't know you could get demoted, how many straight loses are needed for a demotion?

Is there a good way to navigate the character customization menus on PC with a arcade stick (HRAP VX SA) plugged in? Can I use the keyboard to rotate, zoom, etc...?

I usually plug in an xbox controller lol, because using the stick is horrible

You can mod them in (including final round track).
There are guides how to do it.

And many indications that the jukebox is time exclusive or can be modded int he pc version.

Is there a tutorial for how to mod different tracks in? I've been going the playlist route but it's not the same
 
So Eliza gets meterless combos out of jabs cancelled into DP?

Like what?

Most only go into the RP DP because it starts faster than LP DP. Her 1,1 string is not a natural combo unless counterhit. You can get LP DP off of WS+1 and B+4 off a normal hit though and that starts a juggle. She really can't hit confirm anything unless she does the 2,2 string into RP DP. She is actually pretty risky. Her D+3 is cancellable into specials but you only really can connect EX QCB special or RP DP off a normal hit and you need to be close enough or it won't connect, many times if you clip them with her toes they can block the EX QCB special.

Cancellable normals are the 1,1 string, 2,2 string, B+4, D+3, and WS+1.

You can only do her standing1 into 1 dp on counter hit. Online this is going to be fucking rare so most people will just do the 1 into the 2 dp and settle for the 30 damage punish

An i10 ch launcher is still fucking strong, though. I don't think even Bryan gets that if the first jab hits ch.

drag players, I played a mirror match last night and the guy caught me a few times with a little 3 hit string that ended in a sweep. Anyone know what it was?

I know it's not 2,1,4 as that just ends in a regular low.

Probably b+2,1,3. It's not a natural combo so you can block/low parry it if you recognize/react fast enough to the sweep. The 3 can also be cancelled into a throw for additional mind games.

A local Drag player I know was doing this exact thing to me and he just fell apart when I figured out how to deal with it and punish lol.

Ok yeah that sounds right. B+2 I recognise. Went through a load of others and couldn't finish with a sweep.

Thank you.

Just wanted it as an option/mix up I guess. Maybe a little cuter than fishing for the d/b+3 > d+2, 4, b+1,2

I did catch him with the low parry once I'd worked out he kept going for it. That'll learn him.

If you can react to b2 and then duck the second one, you can easily hopkick after it. That negates the throw mixup from it as well. But if you block the last one, it staggers and you can get pretty much anything you want afterwards.

Shaheen is like Tekken 6 BR Lars but replace lightning screw with Shaheen's fliplick. He's the complete character with very nearly toolset imaginable: Incredible punishment from both standing and crouching, safe orbital heels, high & low crushing hopkick, a 14f punisher that does as much damage as a full juggle, magic 4, full crouch slide/mid mixups, safe d/f+2 launcher.

Biggest thing is he's incredibly easy to play. I'd say now after some testing Shaheen is the best beginner character to learn Tekken's system with. He'll expose you to a good majority of the important strengths to look for in characters.

I'm in the lab with Jin and so far he seems like he has pretty good tools. Nice pokes and a launching u/f+4 for punishes. Gonna take him online in a couple of hours.

Is there any way to map the touchpad to a button on the pc version for easy restarts in training mode? I'm using hori real arcade pro 4.

So I just saw this Jin with a headscarf (treasure battle), but when I went to customization I couldn't find it. Does that mean more characters have hidden items to unlock? I can't really find much about it.
 
treasure mode AI is some bullshit. Can't blame people for just cheesing through it but it's so un-fun. Who thought it was a good idea to lock customization items behind random drops from a huge pool? If you got stuff for your character it wouldn't be so bad, but this is tedious af

Tag 2 had that, but I'm not sure how it works in this game.

Just had a second demotion match, thankfully managed to win.

It's pretty funny, 2 days ago I posted how happy I was to make the green ranks given that I'm completely new to Tekken. Since then I've won exactly 2 matches and was demoted once and almost a second time.

Game was all like, bitch get in your place.

Story mode driving me nuts as a newbie (only Tekken I ever played was 3). Going to just mash throw the rest in easy and move on to finding a character to start focusing on learning and learning the game. Story mode isn't conducive to that with jumping between characters so much.

Aaaand demoted.

I wonder if you can be demoted back into the Kyu ranks? Guess I'm going to find out soon.
