So you don't fight enemies who are statistically three times better players all the time?

Also, now ranks are deducted if a guy disconnects. Issue is, do you get your points for winning such a guy? Because nothing stops him from dc if he loses anyway, and you won't get ♥♥♥♥.

Great move Harada.

Coming from MK, if anyone can give some YouTubers that can breakdown the basics, frame data, lore, etc.? I would appreciate it greatly. I just got T8 and I’m excited to jump in.

Also, who’s a good beginner character? I’m using Law rn and I wanna learn Clive, too.

I've decided to start labbing some of the more common fighters I face, and I've run into a wall with Bryan. He's one of the most common fighters I face, and without fail in online I eat every single snake edge that they throw at me.

So I started punishment training with him, set him up to do a couple of mid-strings and his snake edge. But even with a handful of moves, I can still only block snake edges 3/10 times, and I'm at a loss of what to do
I've tried using his sound cues (He shouts TUH! everytime he does a snake edge). I'm still struggling with him dropping down into the sweep, each time I think he's doing a snake edge he isn't, and I eat a mid-string instead.

I've been at it for a week now with what feels like no progress, is it just a case of I need to practise even more?

If i duck that guard break one time, he won't do it again. Instead he goes for that big dmg move. But if i don't duck he goes guard break. How can i protect myseld from this 50 50?

When you KBD you of course need to make sure you get the actual movement and inputs in right, which I’m under the impression is when you can hide the duck animation between the back dashes.

But I’m wondering if there are other factors to KBD like the distance of the KBD. Are short quicker ones wrong, compared to shorter long ones? And this is under the scenario where both KBDs are hiding the crouch animation.

So , what's the counterplay of this ? I can't sidestep it , can't approach him because it has huge range , and it's safe on block. On top , it is a heat engager , and launcher if he's already in heat.

This is seriously even better than old Azucena WR 3.2

Hey guys, i find it impossible to find matches in tekken 7 currently, if I do find one, it disconnects me after 30 seconds of it saying "syncing"

Haven’t played in a few months and was waiting to learn a new character as I want a secondary character to play and spice things up. I waited till all the characters were revealed and figured I’d try Clive as he seemed really fun.

Practiced a bit, jumped into rank and player matches, and have exclusively fought Clive. That’s it. I’ve played for several hours over the past few days and that’s all I’ve fought. I’m not even complaining about balance, I just want to fight another character that isn’t my millionth Clive mirror match :(

EDIT: yh yh, i get it. countering throws is super easy and everyone can do with 10 min of practice, wow.

EDIT 2: 20 frames to react to a throw. thats 1/3 of second. Thats great, its actually too long, shorten it down to 10 frames so only the top 1% players can break free.

EDIT 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaW9LkLly8s&t=132sh you are all morons.

It is absurd how I can go from winning to losing all because my opp just switches up throws, and whats up with that range ?

How do you not get pissed? and how is this fun?

so stupid, just cause the top 5% can react to it does mean its balance.

Worst part this, you all say lab it. So, I need to invest days (weeks or months) to develop the muscle memory for escaping grabs while my opp can just throw throws like piss.

I want to enjoy this game but it so hard sometimes.

I added this potato mod from this [link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcdpFs67l-E) when i had a bad GPU. I recently upgraded and i dont know why but now i cannot change the graphics settings at all. Anyone have any ideas?

Call me crazy, but I'm glad that I don't have Tekken 8 and I'm proud of it. 😁

I suggest watching his new video to get a good jist of the state of T8. Core audience is left in the shitter, and its no longer a priority in the franchise going forward

Hi guys, I was playing today, and the arena was Genmaji Temple, even though, I don't own it. Can someone explain please? I thought they are not available for those who didn't pay?

Hey friends! I have a question for y’all about Tekken 8 performance on the Steam Deck. How well does it run? Are there any issues with online play compared to the PC? I'm thinking about getting it since there’s a 50% discount right now on Steam to play with my friend. Would really appreciate it if someone who plays on the Deck could answer 😅

We've had the Nike collaboration already. Do you think we'll ever get an Adidas collaboration?

Asking for a friend x

I have had Tekken 8 for a while now (no DLC). I never really played much Tekken but I have been trying to get into Virtua Fighter and really like Akira. Are there any characters in Tekken 8 who play at all similar to Akira?

I mean we can, but is it optimal ?

I'm learning Alisa but also picking up lili as my secondary main.

If so that’s pretty cool, she even has an outro saying “You got into character perfectly”. The idea of clive getting reverse isekai’d is hilarious though.

Today it's being a real nightmare playing rankeds, the new anti-plug system is screwing me literally without doing anything, I'm currently between Kishin and Bushin, you already know how this works, you lose 2 battles and you lose 500 for each battle lost, and if you lose a third you lose 1000 points, the same thing happens if you win.

Okay, well, this is being very, very funny because I get the match ready screen, I accept and a pairing error message appears when loading in, and it sends me back to waiting, BUT THEY HAVE REMOVED MY POINTS.

With the bad luck that on each of the two occasions that this has happened today, I was on a two-losing streak, and because of that lost 2000 fucking points for free. I have lost almost 2 ranks and I am very angry because I have not done anything wrong, and currently I am sweating blood to get back to Bushin, in fact today I have gone up to Bushin 2 times, the second time I got this error that I have mentioned you and I lost 1000 points and the next fight I lost and was demoted again, now I am almost down from Kishin after being promoted to Bushin for the THIRD time in a row.
