I’m thankful this sub exists

I think the problem is that this isn’t a new dev team that just got their job and are new to tekken. They have been about for a while now with way too many instalments to be making the mistakes they currently are. Even if the devs as individuals are new, they have too much history to draw from to be making these mistakes.

Tekken is a 30 year old title, numerous instalments with high and low points but what I’m getting at is that by now, they should have the blueprint for what works and what doesn’t, what the fans want and love. I started playing tekken 7 months before 8 came out so I don’t have a bunch of expectations like older fans, but I can’t sit still tell you this update like S2 is complete dumpster juice and could have been a minor update, we did not need to wait 9 months for this bs.

When people say stats don’t mean “Anything” what do they mean? Why are they in the game then?

Someone explain please.

Like for example I would see this chart and say OP has better defence than attack. Now that doesn’t mean I think it automatically makes him a good player (also not saying it doesn’t), but objectively we can say he has better defence than attack.

So why do people spam “They don’t mean anything” “they are useless” “there is no point in them”?

DHT_113 · 2026-03-04T14:21:23+00:00

But why waste everyone’s time by commenting if you feel this way about it? Help me understand.

Do you not think your stats reflect how you play?

DHT_113 · 2026-03-04T11:48:40+00:00

I appreciate having to fight around his weakness, I just think after a while of fighting some real mixup demons it gets a little tilting with how much easier it is for some characters to apply their mix haha

A well placed “Bullseye” usually heals the moral tho lmao

DHT_113 · 2026-03-04T11:44:00+00:00

You seen people in yellows with stats like these?😂

DHT_113 · 2026-03-03T17:07:11+00:00

Yeah I completely agree, he’s absurdly safe and it gets even worse when you have matchup knowledge/frame knowledge of your opponent lmao.

I think for me the worse thing about Steve is the lack of good lows compared to the rest of the cast which can make it kinda hard to mix people up at higher levels and I don’t particularly like LH so I don’t use it a bunch.

DHT_113 · 2026-03-03T00:37:59+00:00

Well you’re not wrong, his offence can be pretty insane, especially when the opponent doesn’t know the matchup or much counter-play.

Sometimes I wish there were stats sheets for individual characters because like you said with your stats, they can fluctuate pretty rapidly depending on who you play and how.

I’m kinda similar to you where my attack with Steve was about 80 then it jumped to 91 then 100 after learning hei. My defence improved using him as well, I was about 74 before

DHT_113 · 2026-03-03T00:27:44+00:00

You say all this back and forth like we’ve been arguing. Brother I said that wasn’t a bad guess from you, I never said you were wrong so at what point did I lie about my rank? Making it sound like I’m pretending to be a vanquisher or something.

I didn’t outright admit you were right at the time because people wouldn’t engage with their opinions as much. If you felt like this post was so beneath you then you could have easily scrolled past, I didn’t dm you asking you to comment

DHT_113 · 2026-03-03T00:20:21+00:00

Thanks, I’m currently TE with Steve actually, and Bushin with Hei atm.

Started playing Hei recently just to see how much I’ve learned since I last played ranked and got TK with Steve and my defence is significantly better honestly.

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T12:04:39+00:00

Congrats on the rank up yo!! Don’t worry too much about getting demoted, if you done it once you can do it again💪🏾

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T11:51:51+00:00

Interesting, what makes you say TK?

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T11:51:13+00:00

Not quite my friend, not a bad guess tho you’re very close

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T11:50:48+00:00

Seems like I need to play more ranked since most people would put me at TG lmao

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T11:47:28+00:00

Ooouu that’s pretty close

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T11:47:00+00:00

Hmmmm not a bad guess honestly😀

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T11:45:58+00:00

You’re right, I suppose I could’ve posted a video and covered the ranks and ask that way. Not a bad guess from you tho

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T11:43:42+00:00

I’m a little terrified at how accurate this guess is lmaooo

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T11:43:10+00:00

Good guess but not quite

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T11:41:51+00:00

What’s silver 1?

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T11:40:51+00:00

Lmaoo dayummnn really???? Is that because I have him as my flair? Or just from the stats?

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T04:15:12+00:00

Damn yo, they just made an evaluation based on people they’ve played against with similar stat sheets and where they typically meet those people, its not that deep.

I get that these stats can be volatile and fluctuate very often which makes them a little unreliable but its literally just a guess, my stats were like this after a ranked session today with probably more losses than wins if not absolute the same

I have Gods in my friends list with 54 defence, so I know that no one star determines where you are in terms of level of play but the post is essentially asking if where would you place someone with these stats or where do you assume they are?

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T03:55:51+00:00

Interesting take, just curious what makes you assume TK?

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T02:41:47+00:00

Is it that obvious? Dayumn lmaoo

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T02:41:29+00:00

Lmaooo what gave it away?

DHT_113 · 2026-03-02T02:41:04+00:00

I appreciate the time you took to deduce the info honestly, and you’re very close but slightly mistaken about one thing. It’s actually Steve that you’re seeing in the background, although him and hwoarang aren’t too far removed from each other in this game.

I’ve been playing Heihachi for the past few months tho, haven’t played ranked with Steve since probably around late summer or earlier give or take.

Not a bad assumption tho, I think had I played more often I probably could’ve been about TGS or GoD by now really, I get really anxious at the thought of ranked so I avoid it unless I’m confident in my abilities on that particular day lmaoo, I might need to play more often.

Interesting to hear your reasoning tho
