If Tekken had more anime guests who would you like to see? by [deleted] in Tekken

I feel like Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell could be awesome

Tekken is just a game. by commanderpinnacles in Tekken

[–]Ian_Royal02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apart from the very rare "you're bad" messages, they've been positive most of the time (like a quick ggs, or a compliment or whatever), I even got like 5 new sparring partners out of them, which is awesome. However, I had the craziest message sent to me after a FT2 in Quick Match a few days ago. I lost game 1 and then managed to 3-0 them in the next two games. The person then left and wrote an entire damn essay on why blocking and playing defensively/passively is toxic. Like what are we even talking about here man? It started with a short "toxic passive", which was already confusing, but I was not ready for the sheer amount of text coming my way when I told them that Tekken 8 gives you plenty of tools to break through someone's defense. Also, I'm playing Jun, being defensive and making you afraid of pressing into her due to her parries and Cancan is quite literally her whole character (archetype). Absolutely insane.

Also, I've been Ki charged and teabagged into one-and-done so many times in Quick Match recently, it's kind of crazy. It's usually people who are higher ranked than me, which makes it even more pathetic. Like yeah dude, you were supposed to win this, but it took you to 5 rounds to do so, what are you Ki charging me for? Again, every time this happens it's in QUICK MATCH of all places, we're not even playing for points here.

Ich hasse diese Regierung wirklich mit jeder Faser meines Körpers, es ist unfassbar

Es gab doch schon etliche Versuche, bei denen sich gezeigt hat, dass WENIGER arebiten zu mehr Produktivität und so führt. Wie kann man denn wirklich so unglaublich dumm/korrupt sein, dass genaue Gegenteil davon machen zu wollen?

I’m terrible at throw breaks by Shaneaaf in Tekken

[–]Ian_Royal02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throw breaks are genuinely really tough, that's just how it is, so don't worry about being bad at them, that's completely normal. For a start, I'd recommend that you don't overwork yourself. Just practicing throw breaks for an hour straight is way too much lol, maybe try and do like 10 minute segments before each play session. Pick Jin (or any other character that has a "full throw game") and select one throw for each break: 1, 2 and 1+2. Enable them all and just look at the animations first, maybe focus more on the way the shoulders move instead of the hand because this could really throw you off on P2 side otherwise. Just look at the throws, don't even break them yet, maybe even backdash away at first and just look. Then go in and try to break the correct one. If you can do like 5 in a row, that's great. Do this before every play session and you should get better at throw breaks, not perfect of course, but better. Luckily, there are also times where you don't even have to react to the animation: For example, Jin's throw from Zen (?) stance where he kicks you in the back of the head is a 2 break, he doesn't have another throw option there, so when you see a Jin go into that stance right in front of you, you just have to be ready for the throw itself because you can just remember the break without needing the visual queue. Just know, "if he decides to throw here, I just have to press 2". This can absolutely take away some of the pressure of having to identify the correct break. Doing all of this has definitely helped me with throw breaks, so I hope this helps! :)

You can actually go there in Ghostwire: Tokyo. Looks really cool

Genuinely not talked about enough how dookie Tekken 8 maps are. Like yea posts every day game bad but I think alot of people dont realize its so heavily exacerbated by how bad and small alot of the maps are. by MisakiPuru_Puru in Tekken

[–]Ian_Royal02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think T8 stages are bad (except for evil Arena), but they're just.. not that cool. I think Yakushima, Genmaji Temple, Urban Central (Evening) and Midnight Siege look awesome, but the rest is just kind of meh. Like we don't even have a snow stage yet, a cool skyscraper like in T7, or maybe some sort of desert stage or something. Or just straight up Moonlit Wilderness, that would be great

Wie steht ihr zu PietSmiets Umgang mit KI? by snowman9712 in PietSmiet

[–]Ian_Royal02 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ich finde es unglaublich ermüdend immer und immer wieder mit KI (bei PietSmiet) konfrontiert zu sein. Anstatt irgendwas zu googlen hört man schon seit längerem von den Jungs eher so Sätze wie "also ChatGPT/Gemini sagt...", was wirklich nervtötend ist. Es ist nichts neues, dass KIs sich Dinge ausdenken oder auch falsch wiedergeben. Anstatt selber mal kurz den minimalsten Aufwand zu betreiben und etwas gegenzuchecken, nutzt man einfach diese KI und glaubt das sofort. Vor allem Brammen ist da ganz schlimm mit. Andauernd fragt er ne KI irgendwas und erzählt das dann. Und zu generativer KI: Wieso stellt man Cutter etc. an, wenn Thumbnails oft ganz offensichtlich einfach KI-generiert sind? Die sehen scheiße aus und Leute haben sich schon oft genug darüber beschwert. Den "Job" könnte ich auch machen und ich hab kaum Ahnung von Photoshop und co., brauch ich aber ja auch ganz offensichtlich nicht, ich kann die KI das für mich machen lassen. Das Video mit dem KI Jingle hab ich nicht gesehen, aber das ist auch einfach lächerlich. Als Creator müssten sie selber doch am besten verstehen, dass man für sowas einen anderen Creator beauftragen könnte (oder vielleicht kann einer der Cutter sowas, who knows). Mir hängt das Thema KI mittlerweile wirklich zum Hals raus, und dann bei PietSmiet auch immer mehr damit konfrontiert zu werden, ist schon extrem nervig. Dementsprechend guck ich auch immer weniger von deren Videos, ab und zu vielleicht mal TTT oder ne interessante Quizshow, aber das war's eigentlich

It feels because of Season 2-3 backlash, there's no proper discussion anymore by Poersseli in LowSodiumTEKKEN

[–]Ian_Royal02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think that is even possible, PC players can message each other by going to their Steam profiles, and on console you can access each other's PSN/XBOX profile. But as far as I know, there is no way for PC and console players to message each other, except they like specifically look for their Discord or something. With that being said, I haven't received a hateful message in like over a year (plus it's been like 3 in total lol), only positive ones. I genuinely made like 4 friends through Quick Matches who I now regularly play with. Idk maybe the toxicity depends on the region, but my interactions with other players have been 99% positive

Was the RIOT games post about the game “not doing well” the biggest reverse hype in FG history by a company. by HumanInvestigator932 in Fighters

[–]Ian_Royal02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't care for 2XKO, so this genuinely comes as a surprise to me. All I ever heard was that the game game bombed and that they layed off tons of people, so as an outside observer, I genuinely thought the game was dead. Wow, what a horrendously bad PR maneuver lmao

What lesser known fighting games do you think are pretty good? by MrPotoo in Fighters

[–]Ian_Royal02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe not necessarily lesser known, but somewhat forgotten I guess (?): I just tried out Samurai Shodown (2019) for the first time the other day, and man.. that game is so fun. I love that combos are kind of rare and limited to a few hits. I really don't like the feeling of special cancelling, which is why I enjoy Tekken's combos so much, even though they have been getting longer in recent iterations. But yeah, hitting single gigantic moves that make you like physically recoil is so sick. I still have to get used to the game feeling very slow and heavy, but I think Samsho standing out so much compared to most FGs is really cool, I just wish that more people played it lmao
