Tekken Tag Tournament 2 |OT| Awaiting the "Final Battle"

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! :)

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. :)

I just read your post boutdown. Lemme start by saying one thing. I've been taking Tekken seriously since Tekken 6
getting chewed, assimilated, and disintegrated by Sayah non-stop
and after thousands of hours did I get to my current level. You've reached a level at a rate MUCH faster than I could have ever done so that is something you should pat yourself on the back for :)

Now about the details of the post, specifically this part:

Even after a FT10 with a 15dan, and losing 10 times, I don't know what's going wrong.

This is the thing that's really surprising to me. Whenever I jump into a new fighting game, I try to understand the logic behind the mechanics. That way when I see a move come out, I can classify it and then I can gauge each move's advantages/disadvantages. If I see a move that's getting me, then I have to adapt to that move. so WHENEVER I'm losing I rarely feel like I don't KNOW what I'm doing wrong. I can assess what's going on and then I can tell myself what I did wrong and what I could have done to not fall for that. BUT this is when I'm losing to a specific move.... from your post it does sound like you have a problem with a specific person. That's an issue of him reading you better assuming the moves themselves aren't what's causing the problem.

Next time we play, I'll charge my mic and I can talk about what's going on in my head as I play... hopefully that'll help next time.

Also.... Iron Fist League is back:

from your post it does sound like you have a problem with a specific person.
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.

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.
 
Kinda how I felt playing Rip. I've played vs Laws hundreds of times, but I never played a Law like that before. And I watch him play ALL the time which made it even more of a strange feeling. But eh, all you can do is keep tabs on your mistakes and play through it.

Good games, I don't think there's any move in the game that is as satisfying as AKs stomps :]

Anna CH qcf+1
Nina qcf+2 (on grounded opponents especially).

The satisfaction I feel when I land those...........

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.

LOL, I like this graph (even though I disagree with it).

You're really good. As AAK mentioned, you got a lot of stuff down real fast. You got patience (which I don't have any of). And you're spacing correctly. I personally think you can improve on the mind game aspect of the game along with creating the right type of offense and pressure.

I'm the complete opposite of you. I excel at creating pressure and going on the offensive but am completely garbage at defense and spacing. I get bored and impatient, lol.

I understand where you are coming from and I can definitely relate(especially in Super Street FIghter 4.......), but Boutdown, you are an excellent player. Don't let a few loses or mistakes discourage you. I played you enough where I seen significant progression and improvement each time we play. Your Lees, Bobs, Miguel and other characters get better and better each time I play you to the point where I really have to change up my strategies and try new tactics on you. You have excellent spacing, movement and you know to punish well. Keep it up and you will get there with your dedication and skills. Defensively, IMO TTT2 can be extremely overwhelming for even the best players.


This makes me feel a little ashamed, but I guess I am not quite as serious about improving in TTT2 as I used to be due to responsibilities in my life, dedication and time required or other games I suppose. I play it(or DOA5) every once in a while when I am in the mood for a fighter and to have some fun. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I dedicated a lot of time to TTT2 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.

I remember the last time we played and you said it was the most confused you've ever been in Tekken, lol. I'm nowhere near as good as the rest of Tekken GAF, but sometimes bad players are harder to deal with because they're unpredictable.

If you play anyone enough times you will eventually reach a point where you can beat them consistently. That's why I prefer player match. I can play and learn in a relaxed environment, rather than losing to some bullshit I didn't see coming in ranked and never knowing what went wrong.

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 :p
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.

Ranked is indeed a good way to learn how to be aggresive abuse lows and hopkick.. because it's the nature that everyone does.

Played in my arcade for a few rounds but lost. Zero lag makes people easier to punish things that online has difficulty doing.. And I got too aggresive and resulted in a lot of predictable moves.

Don't let ranked control and consume your soul.. !

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.

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?

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

For some reason I can't get into SF anymore. It's my first game alright (I think SF is everyone's first Fighting Game lol), I love the design and characters, but when I start playing Tekken, I can't get back. The freedom and control the system and each character gives me is something I am looking for everytime now.

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.

When I care about my rank, I play like shit. Sometimes I go to ranked and just play as if it was a player-match, not caring about whether I win or lose. That's one of those days where I win 5+ matches in a row. Whenever I'm like "I'll better not get demoted" I play like a beginner who just started playing Tekken.
That's why I want to get back to ranked. I want to get used to that stress and not freak out whenever I'm about to lose.
I won't let it consume my soul, but I won't let the stress overwhelm me either :p

I love Hilde's character design so I spent most my time with her. But it gets sort frustrating trying to get the timing of her charge moves right and her juggles are solo technical. I wish there was some kind of indicator like Makoto's drive strings from BB. I also tinkered with Mitsurugi and Patroklos and it's so unfair how much utility their moves have compared hilde. Im thinking of making the switch to Xiba.

I like to play SFIV casually for fun but don't see myself getting seriously invested in to it. No doubt the series is great and I love love love love it but not with a super competitive mindset. Plus, I'm tired of buying each new Capcom update. I like a final and finished product instead of new balance updates every few months/years. If you're gonna release something, get it right the first time and fix the remaining minor issues with a future balance patch. If it's a complete disaster with balance, then just work on the sequel instead of eight new updates.

For some odd reason, I am actually thinking about buying it even though I kind of retired from it. I am quite terrible at it now and I am wondering if it is worth the $14.99 price of admission. I'm not so competitive at SSF4 now unfortunately.

I honestly think TxSF will play more like Tekken with more close ranged combat with a slight mix of projectile combat. Could be wrong though.

I think the links and combos are more strict in SF compared to something like Tekken, DOA or MK. The execution is relatively easy for me, but some of the timing for those links are quite challenging. It seems like I CANNOT properly get the FADC down and it really bugs me that something like that is potentially holding me back. Lol, I'm also bad at 3rd Strike which is crazy because I thought I was very formidable in SF2, SSF4, Alpha series and so on. If you play me in SSF4 and you will probably feel better about your skills. :p

I think so, I didn't know you were from Germany, but I was surprised that the connection wasn't terribly bad.

Constant 3 bars, no lag except for some lag spikes. I'm also surprised that the connection works so well with many US players. I think I'll have to try again with DEATH. Last time we played was terrible. Still haven't played with Famicom either although he's on my friends-list.
 
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 was in a team, but downloading ghosts and stat web page with your match data was cool.

Downside was that the game had to upload data to web after a fight.

Yeah, they're much harder to break in TTT2, and online kinda makes your practice moot.

Good games Doomshine. My defense was really sloppy today. Got caught in a lot of stuff I should have blocked. My JFSR has gotten a lot better though^^

Lei's lows should really get nerfed. They are way too fast and it's kinda unfair he gets a full combo out of many of them. Lag makes him invincible. Now I get why everyone hates the Lei/Ling team :D

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.

Yeah, backdashing at the start of a round is probably not an optimal solution^^

E3 is around the corner and it has delivered with obvious fakes for upcoming games lol.

Not as cool as those old Proxicide's photoshops though haha.

Wow, that is so clearly fake.

Speaking of Paul, I'm trying to describe how to do his JF (F,F+2:1) to someone but cant explain it in words. Like I can easily do it, but describing it is hard for me. For both his just frames, its generally when he makes a noise I do it.

Man Only Practice making it to Strongstyle would be TOOOOO SICK!!

GG's boutdown again. I'm starting to get Steve's FLCKR Cancels down. I did it like 3 times in our set! I think the trick is to cancel the f+2,1~b into DCK in such a way that you don't even see the animation of the Flicker stance. And then you just have to remember to cancel the DCK with d/b and then do the WS+1,2 bound. Sooooo satisfying. :)

Good games UltWarrior1. I have no idea why it was laggy this time. You also suddenly disappeared after telling me to wait a second^^

And good games boutdown. I hate 3 player lobbies... I always get disconnected when the other two are playing :/
That promo match was pretty cool. Poor guy won more than 90% of his matches and loses his promo match :D

@AAK: The flicker into duck is pretty easy for me, but I always fuck up the duck cancel... I have to get the timing right for d/b^^
Oh, and I finally finished watching that Hwoarang Bread & Butter with Speedkicks. A lot of helpful information. And I noticed that I have confused RFF and RFS in a lot of my posts :p

I noticed that directly going for a bound is a lot better for Xiaoyu than doing a long combo before bound, so I can do Lee's b2,4,3 and finish with Xiao's f2,1,4. Deals a lot more damage than trying to connect fff3 as a finisher.
 
Hey folks. Decided to jump back into the cesspool of ranked. I'm just happy I got into the greens.

I have a twitch channel and I streamed some of the online today. I was surprised I got zero hate mails. Not sure what's going on with that. Anyway, here's a link to my session. Any tips on improving is appreciated(anything --gameplay, overlay, etc).

Also you guys still do GAF lobbies? Laters.
