I play FANG also. Mostly because Chun-Li is just too cheap in this game. Maybe I am a masochist, but I just had to pick another character. I wasn't feeling like I earned victories with Chun.
I remember you writing that you hate playing against him just learning a view things about Fang makes him so easy do deal with, fact that he dosent have a standing overhead is frustrating so up close you don't have many 50/50 mix up games, creative not guaranteed damage is the way to go. Another thing - his cross up with jHK at first i thought its awesome but ends up being in my opinion the worst cross up tool in the game, first of you need to commit as with this attack the hit box switches sides, on top of things his jump arch is so easy to telegraph. Poison deals to little damage to be worried about , his V Trigger is pretty much useless the only thing i see for it us for combos while activating it. His skill set is best tailored to play against beginners.
Lol. I just watched a Street Fighter 5 video SquirrelSoup shared on PSN, Cammy vs Laura. And who did he play against? Adnanish, one of the best Tekken players in Europe

By the way guys, there's one thing I wanted to know your opinion on. It's what I call "Mishima player elitism" and I experienced it quite a lot. Mishima players who think that every other character is cheap and gimmicky and rage quit whenever you do something that he thinks is not okay. Let me elaborate.
There was this one guy I invited once when I played with GrayFoxPL. Forgot his name. He insulted GrayFoxPL because he "spammed PAB moves" with Steve. When I played Xiaoyu he asked how I could play such a scrubby character and asked me to not play her again. He quit after a few matches. Another time I was playing with a friend and another Mishima player. In a clutch situation my friend used Snake Edge. The other player didn't block and he won the round. After the match the other player quit and sent a PSN message "Snake Edge? Really?" although nobody said a word when he used Heihachi's db+2 over and over again (because it was actually appropriate).
Mishimas are considered the best characters in the game. They have the best punishers and the best 50/50 mixup for pressure. They don't even need any crushing properties (in my opinion) because their moves are insanely fast. They have no problems using Hellsweeps three times in a row but using Xiaoyu's SS3 is considered srubby since "it's so slow". All that with the one excuse that Mishimas have a very high execution barrier. So I'm allowed to play like that but whine when my opponent does the same just because I have the better execution? Sorry, but I don't see the point.
Of course I'm not trying to generalize. Just talking about a few players who I consider hypocrites in this case. Did any of you have a similar experience with Mishima elitists?
Yes, completely agree. I have noticed this alot as well. Rage mail on PSN and alot on YouTube, according to the ragers EVERY character is cheap except for Mishima's. It also doesnt help one of the bigger TEKKEN youtubers is always on a very high horse because he uses Mishima's. Constantly saying X or Y character is cheap and requires "0 skill to use" for the damage they do, bla bla bla. And you see his rabid fanboys copying his attitude and shitting on every single character that is not a Mishima if they lose to them. He perpetuates that Mishima elitism with his holier than thou attitude.
"Ugh! Another 0 skill Law player. Learn a real character. Dragon tail is so cheap!" - Meanwhile he spams Hell Sweep 3 times in a row to close a round.
I love watching good Mishima players but it really annoys me that so many of them are so toxic.
People talk about wanting Tag 2 ported to the PS4, I would prefer Tekken 6 or 4 to be ported over with Tag 2's netcode quickly.
It's a Tekken thread. I have sanction here when dissing other games. That is all.Entirely missing the point there eh?
How else am I gonna afford my customs?
Be careful of this. You wouldn't want the likes of High Voltage getting their hands on it.
