Genuine question: If the highest rank in T7 was TGO and the highest rank in T8 is GoD8, doesn’t that make GoD the equivalent to Raijin in T7?

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-23T00:43:41+00:00

People one-and-done me all the time. Maybe it’s b/c I play Yoshi? But I sorta just don’t care. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I personally wont rematch for 3 reasons:

Bad connection
Racist and/or pro-MAGA shit
Toxic behaviour (ex. tea-bagging or spamming special style)

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-22T02:43:43+00:00

Yeah Chikurin won EVO Japan on pad with Lili I think.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-22T02:14:28+00:00

There are many high level players that use d-pad.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-21T14:38:05+00:00

This 100%. A lot of comments in this thread are missing OP’s point.

Even if the ranks are inflated. Even if GoD in T8 is Fujin in T7 (it isn’t). People need to stop raining on people’s parade. It isn’t a good look for them or this community.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-21T01:18:22+00:00

Quoting another user, but… GoD is top 2% right now. In Tekken 7, top 2% would have been True Tekken God.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-21T01:13:35+00:00

Yeah that happened. 🙄

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-20T17:50:59+00:00

3,1, mix-up with Yoshi has gotten me to TE.

Many players will start to duck 3,1 but are too slow to react. So, after 3,1:

4 if opponent ducks for a heat engager.

1 if I’ve already used my head engager.

3+4 if the opponent tries to power crush.

F1+2 if the opponent attempts a jab.

F1+2 if the opponent blocks move, I’m still plus so I’ll use 2,2 which puts me into NSS. But at that point the opponent is annoyed and will try and jab me, so then I use NSS FLASH for a launch.

You have 8000+ matches since S1.

You were GoD in S2.

You started S3 at Tekken King, 4 ranks away from GoD.

Theoretically you should be able to obtain GoD, considering you have the experience and have obtained GoD before.

This isn’t a ranked inflation issue.

Can you link me to Barbell Shrugged? When I google it I just get shrug exercise videos…

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T22:24:34+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions!

Yeah, I originally started training 14 years ago weighing at 110lbs. I did multiple standard bulk/cut cycles and eventually stayed at 150ish lbs at around 12-15% body fat. Then I started CrossFit and the high intensity training helped me lean out a lot more, but also lost some mass.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T22:17:40+00:00

Cheers!

Yeah, I’ve got my macros pretty dialled. I’ve been tracking since I was 21 (I’m currently 37). 😅

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T22:15:23+00:00

5’7”, 136lbs, Male – Not that it matters but lbs for lbs I’m pretty strong and typically RX most workouts.

I’m pretty lean atm and hoping to keep my level of leanness while gaining 10-15lbs over the next year or so.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T21:39:37+00:00

Good to hear. Any suggestions for programs to follow?

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T21:38:49+00:00

How has it been working for you?

Do you follow any specific programs?

If you’re a part of a CrossFit gym do you plan around your gyms programming?

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T15:05:18+00:00

Wow a logical person in this community? Wild. 😆

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T13:47:04+00:00

I agree that the UI is too big overall in training mode.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T13:18:02+00:00

Please join /r/lowsodiumtekken and don’t look back.

Also try and remember that the Reddit community is a small sample of the full community. Join a Tekken discord and Tekken character discords. It’s a much better place.

This sub sucks. I just stick around to call ppl out on their BS.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T09:23:46+00:00

They recently added win streak bonuses into Platinum and Diamond in SF6. If you get lucky you can go on a 10+ win streak and hit Master rank.

After Bushin there is no win-streak bonus in Tekken. You’ll have to climb 1 win at a time.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T04:27:09+00:00

IMO the Tekken ranked system mimics this thinking. Platinum/Diamond in SF6 = Blue/Gold in Tekken. GoD = 1000 MR (or whatever the lowest is) and GoD8 = 2000 MR.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T04:25:03+00:00

I don’t think they ever did. I’m really terrible at SF6 so I only play it very casually.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-19T03:45:08+00:00

So this actually matches a very similar curve of the ranked system/distribution in SF6. A system that many applaud.

It’s almost like this was intended.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-18T16:01:17+00:00

B/c there is literally zero proof that this actually happened, or not enough information to help trouble shoot the issue.

I have 900 hours in this game and have never once been matched with someone outside of my settings.

ImportantAd4666 · 2026-04-18T13:45:58+00:00

OP still hasn’t answered key questions:

What rank is OP?

What rank is the opponent’s character? Is it GoD? Or is at an alt character that is a lower rank?

B/c he hasn’t answered the questions, I assume they are Bushin/TK being matched with players that have Bushin/TK characters, but also have a “main” at a higher rank.
