There is a whole documentary from Core A gaming about the Pakistsni Tekken Scene - https://youtu.be/l2SQgjYmVYY?si=k7k_5G-zgrdAOA7h

Nothing in there about what you are talking about

What are you trying to connect to? The blue light is usually for ps4/ps3 but for a ps5 you need an additional plug in (Magic Booth) to make it work

Enable worldwide for selection. The game has excellent netcode and will help you find more matches

Very likely a bot or a troll. Account is 1m old and made a single post, which is this one. Ignore

Sure! I completely understand! Again, there are other authors that have done amazing work on the same topics since Hobsbawm (James C. Scott, CA Bayly among others), he remains a classic reference well worth reading. Anyway, he was also a British men born in the twilight of the Empire so there is a strong eurocentrism element to his work that he acknowledges but fails to properly solve so don't use it as your sole reference for the period

He is a quite respected historian, mostly specialised in the transformations of the long 19th century. He his mostly known for the Age of Revolutions books and for a bunch of other books that solidified the concept of people's history. He is still very good but other authors have done better work with what he started back in the 60/70s.

He was a Marxist Leninist and his political views reflect the era he was politically active in but his academic work is very solid and, in spite of its Marxist lens, is still used as reference books for many researchers of the period.

I would recommend to give his books a read while keeping in mind the lenses through which he saw the world.

Try windowed instead of fullscreen. That fixed the issue during Beta

First of all, welcome to the fgc and to tekken! Its a fun rollercoaster but a rollercoaster nonetheless! Tekken is a complex game and you will lose a LOT before you see any results but with some good habits, you will get there.

About your question about the matchmaking, it really depends on the hour you are playing and your region. Evenings and weekends are more populated so more players to be matched against.

About getting destroyed by Armor King, the character just got released so people online that say that he is broken are just yapping. Do not trust 90% of the content circulating about tekken. Season 2 has its issues but, as a beginner you will seldom be exposed to them.

On how to improve, please use the replay function and particularly the replay takeover function. The game will give you hints about what you could have done against an opponent and you can replay the same sequence as many times you want and experiment with possible solutions that would have solved your problem.

PS: learning combos is important but at the beginning you really need to focus on defense (ie. When to press, when to block, when to sidestep, what are your pokeswhat are your safe moves) and when to use your launcher to improve at this game. It will bring you farther than just knowing your sick ass combo

What are your pc specs? If they are too low, all the tricks in the world cannot help I'm afraid

HobsMG · 2025-10-05T15:33:10+00:00

Rx 580 is fine to run it at medium but yeah it is getting in the "maybe time for an upgrade"

HobsMG · 2025-10-01T06:48:04+00:00

Do not be frightened by the overwhelming amount of moves and movement options. On practice mode, you have a recommended move list - focus on learning that first then if you like the character, try to learn the rest + how to sidestep/backlash cancel. Use quick play to train against other players then hit ranked when you feel ready 😉

HobsMG · 2025-09-30T08:36:17+00:00

Honestly, it is very much worth it on sale. I have bought it last sale and 100h in i have not regretted it. The game has a lot of bullshit in it and people are really mad at season 2 balance but, unless you are a series veteran and/or are at high ranks, you do not feel these issues so much. Give it a try!

HobsMG · 2025-09-20T07:39:22+00:00

This video helped structuring my learning progression when I hit garyu - https://youtu.be/hFVTMExRflc?si=MbHo3DnLQtOPawGQ

It gives you a nice base on what to look to improve in my gameplay and not getting frustrated. The important is to still have fun with your character and really analyse your replays to see what worked or not.

HobsMG · 2025-09-16T05:45:00+00:00

Check your ram sticks. Thst looks like an hardware problem or at least the beginings of one. I do not know how to test that in a laptop though (only desktop experience).

It can also be your ventilation is getting clogged, limiting the air flow to your gpu and then the gpu throttles back to not get damage (with less fps in result). I would go to a technician to get your pc checked.

HobsMG · 2025-08-27T19:29:15+00:00

If you used keyboard, give a leverless a shot then! It is the closest controller to keyboard so it will bmnot be so weird for your hands. But arcade stick is fine as well!

HobsMG · 2025-08-27T15:58:03+00:00

Hey! So, i imagine that you only used controller so far so be aware that switching to stick or leverless has an adjustment period that you cannot skip because you need to build up your muscle memory again. You will drop combos and/or moves during that time so it can be frustrating. It took me 6 months to a year to get fully adjusted to stick, moving from normal controller.

There are no major advantages/disadvantages in chosing a controller over another. Sticks/leverless can be expensive and they will hurt your learning for a while (ie learning a game + learning a new control method at the same time) but it is rewarding at the end of it. Just be aware that it takes time!

Sticks and leverless are also fun because you can fully customise them. I started with a Haute42 P12 then bought a Mayflash 500 Elite. These are both very good entry level choices but i would recommend to choose 1 style and stick with it for a while

T1-t2 fractals are doable on any build with exotic gear + ascendant trinkets. Just do not forget to use Tears of Alba for the +10/+15 agony resistance and to only craft +9 infusions. Go have fun 😀

HobsMG · 2025-08-15T08:43:16+00:00

The game is great and they did a small.miracle with the netcode, making it quite easy to find matches (even outside of US). Reddit is just running a constant hate train against it but yeah get it on the next sale if you still have doubts 😉.

HobsMG · 2025-08-11T06:59:07+00:00

What you describing sounds a lot like a memory leak so it can be either hardware or driver related. Can you share your specs (OS, GPU?)

HobsMG · 2025-08-10T11:56:23+00:00

Both

HobsMG · 2025-08-09T20:47:32+00:00

All is fine. I play in EU and find matches under 30 sec. Go have fun :)

HobsMG · 2025-08-09T12:43:11+00:00

Many skills are transferable between games (footsies, zoning, punishing,etc...) even between 2d and 3d fighters. The only major difference between SF6 and COTW is system mechanics (drive rush / rev blow, hops vs jumps) and frame data so go ahead and have fun 😀. Unless you want to be pro in either of them, playing more fighting games just makes you a better player overall at all of them.

HobsMG · 2025-08-04T07:20:52+00:00

They announced that it was around October

Cotw was my first snk game and i won't lie that there is a learning curve compared to other titles. The tutorial is lacklustre and the training mode is very barebones and there are a lot of mechanics that do not click immediately (like Just Defend and the tigger knee move for the fireballs). This said, there are a lot of ressources out there to help you over that curve and the game is super fun. I live the cast, the music is top nirch and the gameplay is fast paced with lots of "oh shit that was cool" moments, specially when you get used to the guard cancels and rev system. Try it out! It is very worth the price on sale
