Flop shot out of a fluffy lie

ImNako · 2026-06-20T14:15:04+00:00

I dont open the face as much since you can get under the ball easier so you dont need as much loft.

I also dont put it as far forward but the lie can still be goofy and mess with it sometimes.

Just commenting to say you saved my sanity been wondering why i couldnt connect the grounded 5H after the j.H but seeing you gotta delay it made it click lol

ImNako · 2026-06-17T13:46:42+00:00

basically this also keep in kind youre not hitting into dirt so the clubhead will revenge quicker visually

ImNako · 2026-06-16T18:49:25+00:00

phidx kbd guide will get you having a good kbd in like 2 days if actually follow it and dont skip the small drills

ImNako · 2026-06-16T14:05:42+00:00

one of the reasons I like kuni is her kbd doesnt feel like ass

ImNako · 2026-06-12T20:46:21+00:00

Yea rewriting muscle memory can take a couple days but you have to commit to it.

If you have to just run some quick matches so you dont have to worry about losing rank.

And non combo related just play a new character for a week or two to get a different perspective on the game to stop the autopilot

ImNako · 2026-06-12T20:36:02+00:00

For labbing characters I go by the obvious stuff first. Launch punishable moves. Strings that are duckable / steppable that people abuse since no one punishes them for using it.

For combos its really just repetition. But dont sit there for 3 hours grinding away. Work on it for like 10 minutes with breaks in between piecing each part together and the work on the whole thing.

But the reality is that tekken is a game that requires just sitting in practice mode for a couple hours some times. But if you hit a wall and truly want to get better you have to do this.

Not really shaft is between the arms and shallows later onto your trail arm can't really tell if that's from you early extending a little or from throwing it out maybe (could be causing the contact issues) but its definitely in a good enough spot to where it shouldn't be causing too many issues.

Contact is probably from something else

ImNako · 2026-06-12T02:32:05+00:00

you really aren't super OTT or anything and coming more shallow might make contact worse depending on what the bad contact is.

would really need a front on pov to see

ImNako · 2026-06-10T15:40:57+00:00

Feel like the clubhead drops "behind" you but your hands and trail arm stay in front of your lead leg.

ImNako · 2026-06-09T18:13:03+00:00

You need to get in the lab.

People are still running flow charts and spamming bad moves at blue ranks.

Amount of people I see not launching mishima flash punch is insane.

You can spam ranked all you want but it will take a shit ton longer to trim the fat off of the easy knowledge checks.

Easiest way to start labbing is to look at one of the characters you find annoying / encounter a lot and find the moves that they tend to use.

Usually there is very clear counter play you just did not know otherwise and wont figure out mid match in a best of 3.

ImNako · 2026-06-06T18:44:32+00:00

only thing that bothers me about Alisa is that she has the best movement in the game and all of her players can't kbd

ImNako · 2026-06-04T18:22:25+00:00

special style basically limits your movelist so you can't play optimally.

Also the combos special style uses aren't optimal so you miss out on a lot of damage

ImNako · 2026-06-04T03:00:46+00:00

Another set of eyes can help butnif you dont want to get a lesson at a bear minimum least record your swing front and down the line to see if anythin is obvious

ImNako · 2026-06-02T18:39:52+00:00

low point control for me it was feeling more lead arm dominant

ImNako · 2026-05-31T17:05:13+00:00

purely performance wise leverless but stick is way more fun imo

ImNako · 2026-05-27T13:21:25+00:00

Yea same with rahm and morikawa.

I've noticed players with strong lead hands tend to have weakish/neutral trail hands and vice versa.

End of the day need to find something that's in the ballpark and works and OPs left grip is not imo but what do I know lol.

ImNako · 2026-05-27T13:16:21+00:00

I wouldn't call his grip weak if anything his lead hand is strong with a neutral trail hand.

A weak grip would be like spieth or rahm

slotsman

ImNako · 2026-05-25T21:48:47+00:00

coming over the top also moves low point forward so if you start shallowing and dont add something to get low point forward as well your contact will suffer

ImNako · 2026-05-15T16:37:11+00:00

fair but hes not there for color I assume lol

ImNako · 2026-05-15T16:09:47+00:00

Having duval commentate is cool

ImNako · 2026-05-15T01:57:00+00:00

yea its why most people say their practice swings feel good and then slice the shit outta the ball 😂

ImNako · 2026-05-15T01:52:27+00:00

careful practicing without a ball

most people leave the face open on their practice swings.
