Can you two go a few rounds with me for a little while?
Sorry, I'm done for today. Been unproductive when playing Tekken lol.

I agree. You're extremely good, boutdown. You should try out that skill in a tournament.
My problem with Tekken is that the more I learn, the more I'm afraid to use certain moves. For example Hwoarang's RFS db+3,3. This combo deals more than 60 damage, wall splats, it's perfect... but only on counterhit. Otherwise it's not a natural combo, the second hit is duckable (first one is low) and your opponent can launch you. I used the combo against someone in a desperate situation (time runs out, he's in the life lead) after a long time and won the round because of it. This is the problem I basically have with every high attack in the game... I'm afraid that someone will duck them.
But other than that, I've never been better at Tekken than I am now. I bought TTT2 in August 2013 and didn't make that much progress until January 2014, when I joined Tekken GAF. Seriously, it's ridiculous how much I've learned from you guys (especially you, GrayFoxPL). Thanks a lot!
Even after a FT10 with a 15dan, and losing 10 times, I don't know what's going wrong.
ElzaWalkerWhat was your PSN again?
It's not, it's with specific people who are high ranked. I've played Gagguni, WayGamble, and swordofdios with the last month, and I don't lose to them because I do launch punishble moves, or do stupid stuff, I lose to them because it almost seems they have a different playstyle then I do. Their move choices seem fluent. I don't know if you notice, but when I play your Hwoarang, I'm constantly trying to do mids to keep you from attacking.from your post it does sound like you have a problem with a specific person.
Good games, I don't think there's any move in the game that is as satisfying as AKs stomps :]
You start bench pressing for the first time ever in your life. You find out that your max bench is 75lbs. After a week of doing 5 sets of 4 at 65lbs, you decide to try to max out again. Your max is now 80lbs.
So three weeks later, you're doing 5 sets of 4 at 75lbs. A week after that, you find out that your max bench is now 90lbs. A few months later, you're doing 5 sets of 4 at 115lbs. You find out your max bench is 130lbs. A few months later, you're noticing that your max bench has not gone over 130lbs at all. You don't know what the problem is.
Your bench pressing buddy's max exceeded 140lbs last week and you're wondering what the fuck you're doing wrong. You get your buddy to give you advice, but it's not working.
You start to remember when you were benching a measly 75lbs almost a year ago, but now you're upset that you've reached a roadblock.
You watch the body building channel, and see guys benching 225lbs with eachother like it ain't shit. You get pissed off, and little inspired by these guys, so you drive to the gym, motivated to get at least 155lbs up at least once.
You put the weights on the bar, you're fucking ready, you're like "I got this shit."
You lay on the bench, and the bar is on your chest. Uhh, this was a bad idea, I can't handle this. What am I doing wrong?
This is me with Tekken. I feel like I've gotten so far when it comes to skill. But, there is a huge skill barrier between me and a lot of other people. Even after a FT10 with a 15dan, and losing 10 times, I don't know what's going wrong.
I'm poking, I'm turtling, I'm being patient, I'm blocking, I'm even punshing. Shit, I'm not even getting grabbed. I'm not even getting rushed down, I'm just getting outplayed.
You guys every play someone in Tekken, where, they aren't rushing you down, but they aren't poking? It's almost as if they just do strings and run through your defense. You don't even have a chance to attack, because you feel like any opportunity you get to attack, is bait. And that's literally what it feels like. "Alright, time to throw in a quick mid", no, boom counter hit launch, or, no, boom, got you in a silly string strap, or, boom, launched you bitch. I don't know what's going on.
I can beat AAK no problem, but AAK is an example of what I'm talking about. He lazily runs through my defense.
Here's a graph of my skill increase in Tekken since the release of Tag 2.

Like, you gotta know what I'm talking about. There's gotta be someone above your skill level that you play where you feel overwhelmed after fighting them. I think it may be a combination with character unfamiliarity.
Also, I've noticed this very frequently, high level players that I play against, seem to duck under high/mid strings, and then launch me. This is a huge trend that I've noticed lately. It's almost comical.
Do you watch Rip's stream? I kind of feel like he does when he plays Ninjakilla or swordofdios. The frustration that arises is when you lose to a combination of different things instead of just one thing.
Do remember when I last played Sayah? I low parried like 5 of his lows, so I obviously know that I've gotten better. But I also lost, LMAO. So there is obviously a huge skill barrier that I have not broken to truly reach a level like him.
You're welcome Sasuke. You progress very fast, it's impressive. Your execution with Mishimas is already better then mine will ever be. I try to improve too but it's going slow though I'm managing to win with Doomshine every 3-4 fights instead of 15 - some progress is made.
Ranked is indeed a good way to learn how to be aggresive abuse lows and hopkick.. because it's the nature that everyone does.I think about going back to ranked sometimes in order to learn to get a bit more aggressive. I'm way too passive sometimes, especially as a Hwoarang-player.
Thank you. I still have a replay of one of our matches when we first met and comparing it now... we're definitely on another level, both of us
We should make this our goal: Beating Doomshine every 2-3 matches

Don't let ranked control and consume your soul.. !
When you play Tekken, play with no fear. Its ok to respect your opponent when necessary but if you feel like you can do something, do it anyways. Passiveness gets you nowhere in this game I swear

This vid helps too.
Yeah, I mostly play ranked and it goes like this: I win some matches and rank up, so like in the casino I want to keep going. Then comes a downfall and a series of loses and I keep saying to myself "I gotta win back those 3 matches" then it's 4, 5, 7, 10 there was even so bad as 20+. I get demoted badly until I start playing good again and start getting win streaks.
And the circle goes on.
Ranked is good for getting used to stress, I'm starting to change from player who wins first 2 rounds and loses next 3 to the one that is vice versa. I'm starting to "download" player during first 2 rounds and I'm not anywhere close as stressed as before about a round when I'm about to lose. I'm more stressed when I win first 2 rounds because I don't know how to act in 3rd, lol.
Too late!
Another thing: Any of you guys bought Ultra SF4?
I did and I'm so terrible at it.
I was pretty decent in old SF2, Super Turbo and Alpha Series but somehow I'm totally clueless in SF4(I bought vanilla, Super and now Ultra)
I don't understand what's going on during a fight like what should I do while getting up, I get crossed up and everything whenever I tech or not, mashing reversal seems also a waste. Some matchups also seem impossible like playing Guy against Guile. Guile can flash kick Guy's every special move attempt - literally.
Also seems like mashing down +jab is best way for everything.
I don't understand.
The only other SF I'm as bad is is 3rd Strike.
I have that Tekken mindset where you can fight everyone with everyone with quite equal chance of wining. Here I see in SF I see there are 7-3 matchups or worse, lol.
I watch many fg videos including SF4 but somehow I can't recreate the setups and strategies like in Tekken, VF, DOA or even MK.
If TxSF will be close to SF4 gameplay I'm gonna be screwed.
Anyone else here finding Street Fighter difficult?
I will probably get Ultra when it hits PC (thank you Sayah!) I never took the time to actually study street fighter... I personally find it boring compared to something like KOF. Don't think I'll be spending too much time on that one. I'm currently enjoying DOA5U and SCV these days so I think I'll pass on SF this time.

Good games Terareflection. I felt kinda overwhelmed by your Anna/Lili team
I enjoyed those matches. This was our first time playing, wasn't it?

I think so, I didn't know you were from Germany, but I was surprised that the connection wasn't terribly bad.
Slightly unrelated but does anyone know the composer(s) for Tekken Revolution?
I'm guessing at least sanodg is involved.

Also hate to say it but VF5: FT not having a endless mode where you fight for custom unlocks like in the previous console VFs was a massive loss. Recently I grabbed a copy of TTT2 PS3 (to complement my 360 version) and Ghost Battles is such a great time-waster.
Speaking of ghost battles, is there a list somewhere of everything you can unlock? It seems crazy that I'm still unlocking stuff, even if it's probably a bunch of auras and panels.
I never really got the chance to try out Tekken Federation. Was it good? I don't see it coming back anymore...
Building a team would have been pretty cool.

Good games Sasuke.
I was taking a lot of advantage of your character inexperience with delayed strings and moves that leave me at +.
Dragunov's b+4,2,1 is + on block but the last hit is high so you need to get used to ducking that and launching me for it. Also his d+1 (the elbow) leaves you in crouch so I can get a CH 1,2,1 if you try to do a ws attack.
One other thing I noticed was that you almost always backdash at the start of the round so I usually just rushed in. Backdashing at the start is not necessarily bad but mixing it up to keep me on my toes would be my suggestion.

Yes! Keep disappoint! E3 is great show! But E3 is not everything for fighting game community.
See you another event
RT@ICEYOU44 So no Tekken Announcements at E3 at all?? Where is Tekken 7? it's been years since T6 came out! Very Disappointed!
