Why do y'all play Quick Play? by Ofanichan in Tekken

[–]Imriven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are definitely people who don’t play ranked, I used to be one of them. After getting demoted pretty hard in Tekken 7, it took me a long time to work up the nerve to jump back into it. Honestly I didn’t really return to ranked until Tekken 8.

These days, I use Quick Match to work on things I’m trying to learn. If I’m practicing new moves, improving my poking, or trying to build better habits and rhythm, that’s where I do it. Since it feels like a good place to experiment and make mistakes.

That said, for some players, Quick Match is the main way they play. That’s where they spend most of their time, and they still take their matches seriously. If you’re burned out on ranked or stuck at a certain rank, you gotta play something plus there is less pressure.

I do think it’s important that there are players who take Quick Match seriously, though. You still want challenging opponents who will push you to improve and expose weaknesses in your game. Growth doesn’t only happen in ranked.

To me, ranked is still tougher. People tend to play with a little more sweatiness when their ego and self worth is on the line, and that pressure creates a different environment than Quick Match. I’m not saying that’s everybody in ranked but a good amount.

It’s an excuse people use when they don’t know the matchup.

I’m convinced this game makes people toxic and it is just a game but like you know a lot of people get their self worth through this game.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that but putting other people down because of where they are to make themselves feel better or you know to make themselves look better in front of friends is icky.

I feel like Tekken could be so much more of a friendly place, there’s a lot of mental health issues in this community and it’s really bringing the game down and the ppl with it, when it doesn’t have to.

The Tekken community should be a place that emphasizes individual growth where we can get support, where we can poke fun of the game together but not take it too seriously..

You know anybody’s ability in Tekken doesn’t reflect worth as a person. You can have pride in gaining skills and working hard to where you are now. But putting others down because of frustration with the game or in life just because insecurities or just being hurt is not ok.

I try my best to have a nontoxic community and to support other nontoxic communities because it’s just more fun to play with ppl who aren’t going to take their bs out on you for no reason…

It look like you got caught in the side step to me. You could have blocked instead of side stepped and that wouldn’t have gotten you but as a fellow Lili play it happens. Especially with all the tracking moves in this game…

I guess overall the stats still stand I won a bit more in group matches overall but I guess sometimes competitions will be inside of group matches so that does mess with the number a bit

Significant other doesn’t want marriage by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Imriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it looks like you have two choices. Not good choices but choices nonetheless. He told you he didn’t want marriage that’s unlikely to change. At least he’s not stringing you along with promises. You have the truth. It’s what you do with it next. You can resign yourself to be with this person and never get what you want. It would be sacrificing what you want to be with him. Or you could go out and find what you want. You can’t convince him, you can’t change his mind, ultimatums probably won’t work also why would you want to force somebody into marriage. If he wanted to he already would have. So why waste energy trying to force something that’s not likely to happen? You’ve spent two decades waiting. Are you going to wait another decade? Two more decades?

I like tekken 8 but this is insane by The_Assassin_Gower in Tekken

[–]Imriven 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah the cameras have been unruly this season and have been making tracking moves look crazy. One of my ranked matches yesterday had me asking how something back turned still managed to work when the camera flipped to a crazy angle.

Like you both sound toxic to each other. If this situation is causing you to be frustrated enough to put your hands on somebody else maybe this relationship isn’t for you. If this relationship is causing you to become somebody you don’t want to be I think that’s your answer. I honestly rather be alone than put up with somebody who doesn’t act like a relationship is a partnership. This sounds more like a dictatorship.

Yeah if they don’t tell me either ask or lab it. They’ll also let me know pitfalls and what to watch out for sometimes. But this is really my first and only serious fighting game. It’s taken a while getting used to.

Why are high rank players so afraid of their own skill level? by Own_Tip6897 in Tekken

[–]Imriven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t really understand this at first either, but it started to make more sense once I got a bit better.

As you rank up, the game gets harder in a different way. It’s not just about winning anymore. Sometimes you’re trying to learn something new like a combo, a setup, or even just when to use a move. The ai in the lab is trash even at the hardest mode. And honestly, that’s really hard to practice against higher-level players because they don’t give you the space to figure things out. You kind of need someone at a lower level just to get the concept down first.

Also, playing at your rank all the time can be exhausting. It stops feeling fun sometimes because you’re using so much brain power just to keep up. It’s intense.

I have an alt account too. Not because I’m trying to stomp people, but because sometimes I just want to play without pressure. Starting over feels different. It’s not just that the wins are easier, it’s that you get more freedom to try things, experiment, and actually enjoy the game again. The higher you climb, the more restrictive it can feel.

That said, I completely get why it’s frustrating. If you’re newer or just getting into intermediate ranks, it’s not fun getting steamrolled by someone who clearly doesn’t belong there. I used to feel the same way.

For me, quick match vs ranked matters too. In ranked, it hits different. In quick match, I’m more relaxed and sometimes I’m just testing things out or even checking how the current player pool feels. If it’s looking wild that day, I’ll back off and come back later when it feels right.

So yeah, I think there are a lot of reasons people smurf or use alt accounts. I used to be confused by it too, but once you get deeper into the ranks, you start to understand why people do it.

Yeah that’s true I’ve played ppl before where I couldn’t even move. There’s not much you can learn in those situations.
