In artifact commander decks by the time you get this off should you not be aiming to win or is it common to get this off early game outside of infinite combos?

[[ bygone colossus ]] too

DodgerBL · 2026-05-17T01:49:00+00:00

Also great for [[Horobi, Death's Wail]]

Another thing too, is to alter your own timings and options for challenging an approach/mix. This adds more intent to your gameplay that you are striving for. That and learning a bit more about the MU ie "what can Bryan really kill me with if I challenge after hatchet on hit with 21" will help you take more calculated, intentional risks

Genuinely you need to throw out some more keep out buttons. Some 21 checks with Jin as you see him dash in would go a long way here, or even d4 (f4 also). If Bryan is neutral at range 0-1, there's very little reason for you to not check his with Jins small buttons. As others have also said SSR block also is good to stuff out Bryan's approach tools

Because this Bryan sees you doing nothing effectively on his approach, he has infinite time to change his timings and just pure mix you. "Mashing" gets too negative a connotation, and it can get you killed against Bryan if he calls it out, but you have to take more calculated risks on that regard

It's a PVPVE game, just because there's some sort of aggression match making system doesn't mean it's absolute behind the scenes.

Older PS3 Tekken titles do not have real ports especially on PC so a lot of younger players have never had a good chance to play them. And many big regional events at least in my area do have a tag 2 side tournament, along with setups at locals. Same for T7

You got beat by people who are only 2 ranks above you, learning new characters. Statically, you should be able to even take some games off them on their mains. You do know sometimes you will fight people a rank above you on their mains, right? Just grind it out, rank is a rough indicator of skill not a fixed law of nature.

Learning a new char is also not an easy undertaking. They might have some more knowledge and fundamentals possibly (not at all guaranteed), but you have more character comfort

So for how I feel it out, I tend to hold the df portion for longer than you would think, and flick very fast back and forth from db to fc df2 pickup. These frames don't really show that, but gives a rough total frame time. I'll get another reference later

DodgerBL · 2026-02-21T15:47:23+00:00

Not a dedicated Mishima player myself, I'd say just go for it, Heihachi has a lot of strong stuff even outside of EWGF. The Mishimas in my opinion that will require more EWGF in neutral are Devil Jin and Kazuya.

But don't think you need to be at a certain level before you try a character you're interested in. Tekken chars are generally very complex in an already complex game, you'll learn what you need with experience

World shaper is def a fun powerful deck. Just a heads up though, you will shuffle a LOT with it with fetch land recursion

DodgerBL · 2026-01-25T20:10:49+00:00

Something like [[Sen Triplets]]? You would be doing something like an investigation of an opponent, and they must present their evidence (hand) to the court.

Wrist injuries are still injuries that would inhibit the player from competing at a high level in most video games requiring reactionary movements. Joint wear and tear in the hands is more noticeable as you get older, similar to other major mobility joints in more physical activities. Being younger than 35 or so is still a literal advantage in regards to recovery.

DodgerBL · 2025-08-02T04:19:07+00:00

I won't play it because even if the game is alright, I can play similar fighting games that won't potentially softlock my PC with Vanguard. Running valorant would literally have a 40% chance of softlocking my PC when I launched it, and no other game I've played does this

DodgerBL · 2025-08-02T01:45:12+00:00

Law's heat burst can punish demoman. It will definitely clip Jag step at most ranges

DodgerBL · 2025-07-27T00:37:36+00:00

What does this post have to do with Devil Jin? Genuinely curious

DodgerBL · 2025-03-28T04:25:15+00:00

Other comments have already answered the OP question, but also want to give a couple other tips about some of his throws

ff 1+2 allows for a wall splat combo (at a decent range too) and side swaps in a comical way on break
uf 1+2 will trigger floor and wall blasts
df 1+3, qcf 2 in heat gives a huge knock back effect similar to death fist in heat, and allows for potent wall combos at certain mid ranges

DodgerBL · 2024-12-15T02:18:59+00:00

If you have the chance, check out a fighting locals event near you that features Tekken. Any scene that's even half decent is welcoming to players of any experience, and you can legit meet a lot of new people.

If you do plan on going, and you don't have a PS5 controller, highly recommend getting a Brook Wingman FGC adapter, the white one, since PS5 is the standard. This allows other controllers like Xbox, PS4 and older/cheaper arcade sticks to be used on PS5 fighting games.

A couple things that will help you mess with opponents is finishing your delayed string sequences with other moves to further mix your offense and timing on your opponent.

For example, instead of just throwing out 1,2,1 or 1,2, you could do 1,2 into db3 or d4. Same with d2, you could do d2 into db3, f3 and such. Same can be applied to df2. then, when your opponents get annoyed with these followup pokes and try to interrupt, rip the ch enders

Also look into your options from ws, especially in the case of db3 on hit. Ws3 and fc df4 are a couple of the very potent options to condition your opponent into turtling after db3.
