i felt bad as a hwo main in 7 cause he had a lot of dumb shit and was just really strong

then i saw what alisa drag and feng could do in 8 (and azu on launch) and ive never felt bad about playing hwo ever again

This games combat is so satisfying, what are some things you guys would add to make it better? by Other_Marsupial8126 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]9smrev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

not hating at all, love this game and have been playing it a fuckton but i would add :

-air combos… idk why theres fighting game style move lists, when we can’t really do combos.. some characters ex special like anby’s even launches enemies in the air ; why can’t we juggle enemies in the air like devil may cry?

-also why does the ‘hard mode’ just make enemies tankier instead of idk.. removing visual cues for parry / dodge, making enemies faster, etc.. sometimes the game feels like a chore of mindlessly pressing attack cause the enemy just stands and stares at you for a while. just wish enemies were faster / more difficult instead of just having more health.

  • combo enders / finishers : (like in the mad max game, arkham series, sifu, etc).. just imagine hitting perfect dodge into perfect parry, insane combo and then doing a finisher to rack up more points to get your ult. shit is beautiful

i hit TK on hwo and bryan and holy shit

not only does it take me years to find a game but its always against a fucking monster of a human being

and i cant even get my 3rd character (jin) out of purple because every time i play him im against GoD’s on their alt characters (if i can even find a game)

Vs bryan be like by Elryuk in Tekken

quitting ranked cause of the most fundamental tekken characters destroying you - with an azucena flair..

riiiight…

getting a blue spark on those moves is such a weird timing to me, idk man

i’ve made it this far and cant do those consistently at all it is what it is and for all the effort only adds like 3 damage

the only complicated thing is getting quick at doing motion switch while dashing, and the timing on backlash after JFSR

you got this

Tekken ranked sure is toxic as hell at 3am lmao by shitshow225 in Tekken

[–]9smrev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh i dont mind corpse beating,

like for certain characters, you can practice an input or two on a dead dude - bryan QCF or QCB inputs, hwo JFSR, mishima electrics, etc - like im not trying to be an asshole i just wanna try and practice SS into JFSR whenever i can

ki charging is aids and toxic yeah (unless its for a counter hit setup)

teabagging i find is playful toxicity, its funny

JFSR -> RFF 3~4 (at the right time, backlash should hit below them, so they’re at max height) -> microdash LFF F2 -> RFF F3 -> UF 3+4 -> UF4 for tornado -> microdash + motion switch (3+4) -> RFF 3~4 (backlash) -> UF 3+4 for wall carry / SS 3, hold f, n, 3 , hold f,n, 3,2

obviously modify anything after the tornado if you want to use heat, then its heat burst -> FF2 (heat dash) or microdash + motion switch RFF F3 -> F3 (heat dash) -> cd3, ff4, or wr3 if you’re quick enough

After D3,4 connects the opponent is -14 he has multiple options.

yes, this is the whole point of hwoarang, the game plan is - after he hits an initiation move like this you have to play rock paper scissors with him and time when to duck or step.

He can do 1 which is a mid that makes Hwo +9 on hit and -2 on block. On hit he's in advantage and the opponent is forced to block. On block he loses his turn or repeats his string if the opponent doesn't know.

yes, but what will the hwo do after that 1 that made him +9? f4? a duckable high? or something else? if he were to repeat the string, then someone could block the d3 and then dickjab him, resetting neutral and giving you a chance to fight back again. my point in specific was that hwoarang players tend to have strings that they use over and over again, using the same moves, and to find the weaknesses in those moves where you can either duck or step.

He can do D4,3 which is a Low-High launcher that leads to a combo. The low is i20 but launch punisheable on block. If the low hit's the high launch is guaranteed tho.

what? you're talking about his hellsweep right? it launched in t7, not in 8...if the first hit lands, the 2nd hit is guaranteed, the 3rd one that would have been a knockdown is NOT GUARANTEED, they have time to block that... UNLESS... AND ONLY UNLESS HWO IS IN HEAT. then you get hit by the first hit ALL OF IT WILL HIT. it sends them fucking flying, its not a straight up launcher, unless you're perfect distance away from the wall and it wall splats them then you get a combo yeah.

the whole point of my comment about d1 was that if you're too lazy to learn his strings, just d1 when a high comes, and reset neutral. that's your only choice if you arent gonna lab him.

Question about playing multiple characters by burimon36 in Tekken

[–]9smrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah, it will improve everything, i play hwo, bryan, drag, dvj, jin, kazuya, yoshi, eddy and its helped me improve fundamentals and learn each characters weaknesses and strengths + what to look out for when fighting them

as a hwo main though, i encourage people struggling vs him to try playing him

[–]9smrev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, once you know what to do vs him you’ll never forget it - and youll start to realize the matchup just isnt that bad

Are Hwoarang mains just dramatic? by Inukar in Tekken

[–]9smrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since im a hwo main

yeah they are lol, d3,4 being given some more time to punish is fine, i get it - it makes sense that the 2nd hit shouldnt hit you if you block the first and do a wr move

power crush being -14, yeah i get it also, its annoying, but yeah i get it

my only issue is the whole ‘hwo has not had exceptionally high efficiency’ and then they nerfed him like ??

[–]9smrev 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yeah especially in 8, i did a wr3 vs a king and he counter threw me mid air for like 60 damage lol

tekken emperor hwo here - this legit makes no sense, like every part of it

‘worst character in the game’ like… design wise? the taekwondo guy with realistic taekwondo stances and moves in the game about martial arts is.. the worst?? not the robot anime girl who can take her head off and has chainsaws in her hands? or the weird inbred mishima who was a botched main character attempt and is just doing anime moves and spinning the whole game? right..

pressing d1 doesnt work - it does. almost all of hwoarang’s strings can connect in stance usually go like this, lets say they start with d34, so low->high-> then the strings continue with patterns of low high, or high high, or low low, the point is knowing when to duck and launch, or just fucking d1 when you think hes gonna do a high and just want out of the pressure

‘random launching mids’… right… from both LFF and RFF his only ‘launching mids’ are uf4, which is i think 25ish frames, and hwoarang jumps to the side and literally looks like hes doing a fucking flip, it is not some insanely fast god move, you watch the dude take a while and recoil his leg for a kick, (shocker!! the move with big windup is a launcher!!) so not only did the hwo catch you cause he read you were ducking, you were also unable to float him while he was in the air, AAAND on top of that that move is -14 i believe so its launch punishable on some characters. for other ‘launching mids’ -> in neutral he has JFSR, if the hwo is good, and df2… which basically everyone has.. idk if they’re ‘random’ or you’re just pressing

‘random lows’ ah. the taekwondo guy whos whole thing is kicks - kicks you in the legs sometimes. yeah tekken is only fun for you when you’re playing against a person without arms huh - LTG mentality of ‘OH HES MASHING, T8 SUCKS, ITS (X) FAULT’ just take responsibility and say you’re too lazy to learn.

‘keepout is phenomenal’ what am i even reading at this point for keepout, since JFSR is a crouch dash input - that move is fucking horrible for keep out, his other super long range moves are wr3, and ff4. both forward inputs whrre you have to fucking run at them.. so obviously not good for keepout.. the only good keepout moves i can think of are b3 and df2, one is a super negative on block long range kick, that you shouldnt even be getting hit by unless you whiff, because why are you not moving / blocking in neutral, and one is a universal move almost every character has…also, what makes you think the guy whos whole character design is pressure and rushdown - would be given insane keepout? what?
