    Question about electrics.

    So i just bought a haute pad (hitbox, haute 42 it's a cheap one).

    I was practicing electrics on kazuya (which i don't normally play) and i'm getting electrics off without neutral frames?

    As an exemple rn my imput looks like:

    Foward: 5 frames Down: 1 frame Down+foward+2: 4 frames

    So what's up with that? Where is my neutral imput? Is it not needed anymore?

    Does registering someone as a rival notify them?

    So when i register my friend as a rival. Will they get a notification that i did it? And also on the rank bar after matches will it show me as a rival the same way it shows them as a rival for me?

    Lately i cant see some of my friends on the rank bar and im trying to secretly surpass someone in my friends list

    When was KBD seen first?

    Hey guys, i was just watching a clip from T7 JDCR(Drag) Vs Knee (Feng) and noticed how much they space with KBD. So I was wondering, when was actually the first time this technique was seen in a competitive match being recorded? I kinda wanna see the reaction to it, if any1 has a clip or YouTube link to it.

    I have a question. For Leo fans. If the Leos were shown not as one character, but as twins in the form of brother and sister. Would you accept them?

    This game needs an option to install only multiplayer

    I know there is the method to delete the cutscenes folder from the story mode but I wish there was a way to just install the multiplayer part of the game, I dont have much storage on my ssd left and having to install/unnistall Tekken once in a while because it takes so much space like it's a call of duty game is pretty annoying.

    I know I could upgrade my ssd and get more storage, but I think it's an unecessary investment from me when the developers could do this. Idk, anyone else wishes this was a thing?

    Brainstorming possible main options in Tekken 8

    Hey everyone!

    Since I've been in a Tekken char crisis for multiple years by now, I was thinking about the things I'm looking for in a main. This makes me want to ask a question to yall : Which chars come to your mind when I give you these criterias ? Multiple answers are possible, it's just for a brainstorming. My main in Soulcalibur is Cervantes if it's any help.

    - Can dictate neutral through range or good approach options

    - Good whiff punish capabilities

    - Expressive

    - Extensive move list

    - Poking oriented

    - Having entries in multiple Tekken games is a plus
    - As is having a complete (and damaging) throw game

    Thx in advance for your contributions !

    What's Jin's gameplan ?

    I want to play Jin but can't figure out how to play him. What would you want from Jin to do?

    For example: Coming from Reina where you want to constantly annoy your opponent and applying presure via ff2, HW and plus frame moves. Also provoke whiffs with your movement and unsoku stance.

    Who is your favorite op?

    Who is your favorite opponent to fight against online. Is there a difference of preference between Ranked and Quick matches? Is it because you know you'll win or b/c it'll be a good match, maybe some other reason?
