How do special-moves inputs work in Tekken? Is it safe to assume Kazuya will have the same auto turn around mechanic in 1v1 as the shotos and Terry?

Why would Ken not have real winning matchups, though? The character is mad strong!

If the Animal Crossers had no answer to Nikita, they'd NEVER make it back on stage against Snake. Especially with their nerfed recovery in Ultimate.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to trying her again now. Worth noting that Ally could have held his grenades for longer before throwing. Pocket doesn't reset the grenade's timer, so if snake holds before throwing, by the time villager/Isabelle pulls it out it just explodes. Not saying the result of...

I mained :4villager: and dabbled with :ultvillager:. I think although he is a better character now, he is lower in the tier list and the cons of the transition outweight the pros. He is more mobile and overall less laggy in Ultimate, but so is everyone else and I don't think that works in his...

PT is strong and fun (subjective, I know). Someone with such a wide pool of characters they're proficient with like yourself could do wonders with it. There is a reason why Tweek, one of the top Smash 4 players who pulled off a super heavy at top level and succeeded, is showing everyone how...

This is obviously not limited to smash or even gaming in general, and it's one of the biggest challenges humans face (we can never solve a problem before a bigger one appears; it sucks). The easy access to a platform provided by social media gives everyone a voice, but it also makes it so people...

This is the context I needed to better understand what you say about YL, because sometimes you seem overly negative. I didn't know anyone was saying YL's OP. That's silly. If they're saying it because you're beating them, good for you! On the other hand, despite saying YL is high but not top...

I don't disagree, but wouldn't Tweek have been downloaded again with a different character? Also, couldn't he adapt to Leo's Joker the same way Leo adapted to his PT? I mean, in the first two games, Tweek's PT was looking unstoppable. Leo seemed to make the necessary adjustments, it was up to...

Super agree with this. I rarely see people bring up the fact that, beyond dividing your time, learning characters other than your main can help you understand the game better. Stuff like, if your main is a swordy, learning how to play a zoner can give you a better understanding of their...

True, but it's way safer for her to roll the dice and she's also guaranteed to get something very useful for her gameplan, so the comparison is inappropriate in both directions. You're right that the RNG is way more relevant for Hero, but I'm not sure whether that's good or bad for him. Also...

After playing some more as and against hero, my VERY initial impressions are: Side-B and neutral-B is where this character shines, but he can't abuse fully charged stuff because of MP management. Also, both are pretty safe to block. In a way I find kafrizzle (I can't bring myself to learn the...

I'll be a little redundant with Thinkaman's post, but I wanted to take this as an example against phrasing like "we all know that MK should have been banned" or "the majority of competitive players believe this to be a problem". Whenever I see that kind phrasing saying something I disagree with...

Can someone explain to me why Lucina is better than Marth because "consistency" and yet Hero is broken because RNG? I know I'm kinda preaching to th choir here, but Hero's RNG looks great only in Twitter clips. It will probably translate to only one cheap stock over the course of a set that...

Character counterplay doesn't have to be 100% consistent. Of course you can't edgeguard a decent joker all the time. If his weakness were that bad, he'd suck (and we all know he doesn't suck). The fact a certain counterplay isn't easy or fail proof doesn't mean it isn't the right play. Most of...
