Dodging every character who has a non-CH sweep knockdown that goes into a combo.

That's a lot of dodging.
I lost the finals of an online tournament to a first-time Steve player who spent the entire match incessantly throwing out the same 3-punch string. I like to think that I would have fared better had the connection not been 2 bars. Years from now, when Tekken 8 inevitably comes out, if I'm good enough to manage a 55% win ratio against players like that I will count it as an incredible personal achievement.
I am not good. I need to start shooting friend requests to people on ps4 and build up a sparring group like MrCookiepants suggested. And studying some tape.

So you dropped Xiayou ? She has a non ch sweep that leads to a juggle in a form of ss3 , oh and on top of things it's cancalable that puts you in bt for a 50/50 mixup.

Good thing Ling has both
Sweeps are slow. You can block them easily if you practice enough. You can even low crush them with a hopkick or orbital on reaction.
Dodging won't teach you anything. You will get hit by that stuff until you learn to block. At that point they're dead.
Moved into the green ranks, and on to that combination of decent players and players with highly practiced parlor tricks. As in previous Tekkens, my response to the parlor trick players, especially if their game involves low launchers, is to go on tilt, hop kick way too much, and do desperate garbage like get up 3 or 4. I play so much better against good players than against bad players, ugh.
I lost a match to a Paul that shot me with a laser for the last hit. I was confused. :-(. I'm assuming that's some item thing and not a normal move? I disapprove.

Using the gun was dirty, the rest was legit though.
This deserves it's own thread.

No I did not.
I started playing Tekken 7 at 9 p.m. EST. Rank brawler coming off a five-game winning streak from my previous session. Lost a bunch of games in a row and drop down to Grandmaster.
I told myself I was not going to go to bed until I got back up to brawler. By the time I was done, it was 1:33 EST.
I am such a Scrub, but unlike games like Overwatch and DotA 2, I know exactly why I am bad, and why I lose.
1. Deprogramming and entire lifetime's worth of playing against people who are worse than I am ( my friends) is difficult. The average player will finish a hit string no matter what. They will do risky moves because they look cool. All can be punished. This does not happen in competitive Tekken.
2. I eat Mix-Ups and lows like I am at a buffet. Rushdown characters like Josie who can seemingly perform string after string without interruption destroy me. Frame lockers like Brian, Dragonov, Steve, I don't have a chance. Katrina and Feng low sweep combos have their way.
I noticed that even against Kezia, I see the hell sweet coming but for some reason I can't Crouch to block it. Input delay? I don't know, but if I can't block the sweep after uf+4 I don't have a chance to do very well in this game at all.
3. I get fooled into chasing/cannot break the turtles. Even if I am ahead in damage and the opponent retreats to the far end of the screen, I still run after them and end up eating a CH launcher because I don't have any patience. Well, I mean to say that spending 30 - 40 seconds of the match dodging around for position is BORING AF!
SOME of these folks would rather lose to time over than to get hit. Wut?
4. List of characters who wreck me is way too long. I take every Ling mirror match and every Lucky Chloe match. Anna B, Asuka, Kazumi, Law, Kuma, Jack. Basically the poke monsters who don't take 75-80% of my health from one combo.
Oddly enough, I do well against Leo.
5. I have not anger, but RAGE issues when I lose. This is one of the reasons why I don't even like to play board games with my kids. I am not pleasant to be around when I play Tekken 7 (this goes back to point 1 where I am used to playing and beating people worse than I am).

Most of the characters you list are very capable of doing some of the highest damage in the game. Conversely, Josie has some of the lowest.
I think you need to accept that you have a lot to learn about Tekken.
You're not going to block a hell sweep on reaction, unless you're talking about uf+4,4. Maybe it's input delay/lag, but I think it's also a combo on counterhit.
Anyone with a 4k monitor ?
When i run borderless the monitor goes to full resolution at 4k instead of my regular 1080p and it lags up the game. I would run windowed mode but it is too small.
How do i run 1080 in borderless?
Wish it run on full screen this tool

This was point #1. I have apparently been playing Tekken incorrectly all my life.
Yes, I mean uf+4,4 Has been in Kaz's moveset since DAY 1. I used to play him before the EWGF justframe became a necessity to play him *well*. I don't understand why I can't duck to block the second hit when the first is hella telegraphed.
Then again, lag oftentimes makes me wiff some combos.
There's a way certain people talk about their skill in videogames that makes me think this is the case. Your posts saying you were so good with Xiaoyou and ready to take on everybody made me think you probably thought you were better than you are.
Used to happen back in the day when people would travel to a different arcade, or enter their first tournament. Online has the benefit of exposing players to people way better than they are. I love it, personally.
Who are you playing as? It might be worth going offline and hitting training mode

Online's obviously a net positive, but I actually do kind of miss the days of new people talking tons of shit on TZ or 8WR, and the whole community salivating at the chance to be the one to show them the light. Everyone knew what was coming, but it was always amazing,
"You're a joke."
Fuck you, Jin. I'm trying. Why does Xiaoyu like this guy?
I'm using Asuka. I feel like I know enough combos with her and what moves to generally use, but maybe my fundamentals just suck. It's hard for me to find openings in people's offense and I'm constantly poked with launchers. I also have a bad habit of low block punishing with the wrong move. I auto pilot her WS1+2 because of the damage it leads to on counter hit, but it's too slow for the faster lows. By the end of the night I started cutting that shit out though. My offense also must be pretty weak because I have a hard time getting a launcher in or anything but pokes in while they launch me constantly.

Any news on another PS4 patch?

uf+4,4 is death for Kaz in T7. Staggers on second hit unlike T6, and Tag2 reverting it way back to Tekken 5. I was using it alot in previous two games now I need to keep reminding myself to not use it because 90% of players will block it every time. Second hit is blockable even if first hit. Only on counter hit it's a combo and a launcher. I was very good at scorring ch with this in Tag2 but there I had a option to do later sweeps to make opponent guess. Now I can't, shit is too risky to use.
I wrote this before but Kaz got stripped of many of moves(or followups) in T7. 7 to be exact. Seven.

Ling is probably the only person who like Hei and Jin. She's a angel unlike those two.
Although since Jin is related to Hei he's fated to be a bit of an asshole,
he has a lot of his traits

The frame overlay is a game changer. I can honestly see any tournament level players still on PS4 switching over to PC for this and what might come after it.
PC is the new home of Tekken.

"A bit" ? He unleashed WW III just to fight a giant chicken. Jin way more fucked up in the head than any other Mishima.

You do know that demon is why the devil gene exists right, his family trait is to fight and kill them, both sides actually, but he just has the Mishima fuckery. That said Hei made the Zaibatsu a arms dealing corp to fight Kazuya and all members of Kazumi's clan.
His grandson is doing similar things.

Jin is the standard Mishima. He was also raised by Heihachi as well.
They'll get the info they need on PC but they'll still have to train on PS4 to account for the input lag at tournaments.
The FGC is too pigheadedly stupid to actually switch to PC.
PS4 is just way more convenient.

"FGC" is still grassroots with most setups being contributed by the players. That means consoles, and particularly the console that most of the players own.

Yeah...that one was messed up. I just know I didn't think I'd win the match down 2-1 with 1% health left

In all fairness, NRS had a good story in injustice because of the established cast and years of comic books to copy the tone from. MK9s story wasn't that good, and XL was fucking laughable looking at the plot.
Not only is it cheaper for locals and people to run, some of these events have consoles given to them by sponsors like Sony and such. Unless the PC companies want to provide., you can't expect everyone to just suddenly be rich and afford a bunch of PC setups.

Namco is in, Capcom is in, ArcSys is finally in same day-and-date, SNK is in on delay. KT is in but their PC ports are trash. NRS is currently out, possibly on delay? Nintendo obviously out.
MKX story was critically acclaimed I couldn't disagree with you more. IJ1/IJ2 also has great story. Cant speak to MK9 since I cant recall playing that one but I personally woulsn't trust your judgement on that one no offense.
Granted I dont trust any one sole person's opinion. Just go by overall gaf impressions.
[edit] Oh crap the NRS fanboi came out of me hard. I swear I"m not a shrill I really do own T7 on steam lmao
