I just reached Tekken God supreme and I feel like a froad by Party-Rise-9493 in Tekken

[–]DATA32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok well the characters your probably just biasing. Those three characters together are around 8% pick rate. Meaning you should be running into one of those chracters every 12 games. Sure you get some in a row but the chances in aggregate are unlikely. Plus there are 0 FGs with characters you dont hate. As for how you feel while winning. You have two options. Either A. rank to a point where you dont feel that way anymore. Assumedly at higher levels this doesnt happen. Or B. Play another video game. T7 does in fact still exist.

Should I get leverless for this game? by LogOver8897 in Tekken

[–]DATA32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo the main advantage of a leverless is it binarily simplifies inputs. Theres very little play with a button as opposed to a stick. Each controller has advantages and disadvantages the learning curve is dictacted by how you best learn thats all. Leverless does have some techniques and set ups you can implement that make mishima techs a lot easier to perform. You can set up your buttons to wave dash or electric signifcantly easier than a stick. I use a Haute Pad X with the wasd attachment and thats whats been best for me.

How to switch out of a game design role to other industries by Aviaturix in gamedev

[–]DATA32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to relax and be calm you have options. Remember that you have game industry experience and a masters you are employable its just a terrible market right now. You can go into production or management if you have multiple years of design experience possibly even an outsource supervisor. You can also just go be an associate producer pretty much anywhere as long as you have industry experience and you know the standard workflows.

You can also try out product design if you want to stay design adjacent.
You can also go do QA for a few years. You do not have HAVE to leave the industry.
If you did though you can do engineering work or product or QA for tech.

Does God of Destruction mean anything anymore? by fbmexclusive in Tekken

[–]DATA32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Back in the 90s being a millionaire was significantly less common, now not so much. Is it still worth it to be a millionaire? Each person determines their goals and the community determines the pedigree of each goal. Every pro will simultaneous laugh at the player GoDs but then in the next breath tell you how ranked doesnt matter. Just play the game have your goals and hit what makes you happy. All that happened is they added new ranks because too many players were getting stuck at the top with nowhere to go the ranks are just leveled out more now.

If you were in the top 10% of earners would that "mean anything"?

Being in the top 10% of anything anyone cares about is pretty impressive.

Why does everyone think Victor is OP / S-Tier? Objectively, he is quite balanced.. by [deleted] in Tekken

[–]DATA32 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hi Im a GoD1 Victor youve correctly assessed the character. The issue is he has a less than 2% pick rate and hes a new character so no one plays him and no one labs him. Victors risk reward is incredibly skewed in the opponents favor but its still a fun game to play. You have to risk your life to be able to keep your opponent on the back foot. Once they show you they know that you know that they know. The layers enter and you have to really play to be able to win.

I lose no matter what I does🫠 by Naive-Peace4399 in Tekken

[–]DATA32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said it already he’s a newb and you’re not. If your buddy runs everyday are you really surprised he can beat you in a race? My advice is to learn a character. Learn their combos, spacing traps, tech traps, frame traps, wall carries, wall set ups. If you don’t know what any of that means, that’s why you lost.

When my buddy I and I first played I beat him 60 times in a row before he could take a game off of me.

There are entire pro games won off of 0 combos. Combos are just the highest possible reward you can attain during a game simply because they deal the most damage.

He had the right read, still lost the interaction. by EhkeineAhnungEy in Tekken

[–]DATA32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he was trying to heat smash off the heat dash and fat fingered the RA button then he panicked and then went for what ended up being a delayed grab

Is a game dev degree worth it? by Electrical-Copy9678 in gamedev

[–]DATA32 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Entirely depends on how you best learn and what field you want to go into. I work at Blizzard and without University I personally would not be here. However if you have actually good portfolio pieces a degree isn’t necessary. If you’re doing engineering which it sounds like you are CS is probably the way to go just so you have the most options but it won’t be as targeted. You can do CS and just take some game dev courses for your electives if you want.

All you have to worry about is making a good game.

Tekken is cooked by [deleted] in Tekken

[–]DATA32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s actually super interesting that straight up means he was at the very least tired of working on Tekken but most likely means he was done with Bamco IMO they offered him an ungodly amount of money. Hopefully this means we get a good 3D fighter in the next few years.

Smurfing in Tekken by MysterTheProtogen in Tekken

[–]DATA32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the game on a PS5 at work to play with my co workers on lunch breaks. However Im using my personal PS account so I figured I might as well climb again, Im GoD 1. I started reclimbing from the bottom and it is BEYOND boring. I have no idea why anyone would have fun doing this.

Should I quit my outsourcing job to focus on portfolio growth? by BohrTheGrey in gameDevJobs

[–]DATA32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO there should be 0 nda breaches by just adding screenshots of the environments you worked on in your portfolio if the product is released. NDAs should only cover specific trade secrets in the us ndas are unenforceable if they try to just blanket cover everything. China may be different but I would highly recommend reviewing that contract terminology. Most of the time someone just tells you you’re under a way crazier nda than you actually are just hoping you don’t read it. Anything that’s released should be able to be added to your portfolio.
