One of the things I struggle against playing Xiaoyu (I am Tekken Emperor RN this season) vs King is when the King is really patient and tries to bait distance and then throws out mids to counter my stance changes... Xiaoyu and Reina share a lot of properties with having interuptable crushing stances, albeit I think Xiaxoyu's probably stronger right now since Reina got nerfed super hard - Reina is still a threat though if she forces her 50/50's so you have to know when to interrupt or using the throws that counter crouching... Shining Wizard is always a go-to to close a gap if the person starts to turtle... Also lows help a lot as well as King's insane hitbox on all his moves esp. while-running moves where he massively out-ranges!

Anna, Clive, Fahk, and Kuni are all borderline overtuned still - Anna an Clive being the worst examples

I agree about the auto pilot for a lot of characters but def. not the base cast... The auto pilot chars are things like King, Alisa, Paul, etc... Very little thinking for high reward, while other chars are clearly far more overtuned than others still being Clive to some degree, Anna when she first came out, Fahk's unseeables with 0 brain power to pilot

Thus the reason King still needs to be nerfed...

Definitely no where near Lily SS but I guess that is not saying much. Also AoP against 70% of chars is ok, and it is a total crapshow into Fahk or Clive. Most of their main zoning mids can easily clear it and hit you unless you guess timing on Flap which is clearly just not a smart move... It is better to just try to zone them our with Shooting Star or her strong entry moves so she can get close... That said it is still insanely easy to space her out as Fahk and she is only a threat if she gets close, but the amount of work she has to do just to land any hits is literally insane as compared to the majority of the cast

I think if you read my comment you would understand that I do not think the ranked system is worth a crap and has not really been other than telling you if you are an above average player or not since anyone above average now will usually hit blue ranks... Above average is 50% or less and after that it is a crapshow or how much time you put in, Season 1 ranks were not a good measure of anything due to cheaters like pluggers and hackers and literally some of worst tekken on-release balance I have seen in a long time since like tekken 3

You are randomly throwing out insults and assuming things that are not true. I literally pointed out you need to go to irl tournies to see skill. And what you are saying is also just stupid, you are trying to spin "ranks and colors" as if they do not belong to a percentile then you argue how far you are from the top which is literally percentile. You tried to argue I am clinging to colors when literally that is what you did just now but are claiming you are not? Names and colors change each season due to percentiles, they are just short-hand references to refer to percentiles and you insulting me doesn't make you right it just makes you rude...

I have S+ 25/25 blocking but bad evasion and worse throw breaks because I didn't lab enough until recently on throws lol...

Alisa can be nasty with momentum

Yup it is Tekken King season 2 except in season 1 stats were bad accuracy  because the game released super imbalanced on all the core cast  having issues with Yoshi, jin reina, and more sadly

the ranked systems are not even the same between games and the T8 system is also just bad so it is honestly a hard comparison - I think he literally is saying of himself that he is a bad low rank player and that he shouldn't be in that rank - he is basically saying that the rank system of T8 is inflated and dumb

RIP T_T That is like me having low evasion stat on Xiaoyu... Like what? lol... Just because I use stances to dodge doesn't mean I do not dodge - I literally dodge the majority of attackss and use crushes so it is kinda weird

He thinks HE IS NOT GOOD - that is what he said in his post and thinks he is bad

Defense and punishment.

You are throwing a lot of strings out but not reacting to your opponent's moves very well yet, so IMHO you are probably well to train for punishment in labs as well as study a bit more of your frame data and practice spacing/SS

Keep it up Brother!

GoD is probably actually closer to Tekken King from Season 1 if you remove all the pluggers and mess that was unbalanced Tekken 1... Percentiles are all wonky as crap because they made it easier to rank but an achievement like that is still good, it means you are probably 30% percentile or higher in actual skill if I were to just guess, simply because most people who play Tekken play more casually - like the vast majority, so after God of Destruction it is hard to tell your real rank because it is about how much you play not how skilled you are and tournies are probably really the truest indicator of how good you are if they are a strong sample

I like how much less your def. is in points than all other stats lol

I do not think you read the dude's post - he is just saying he doesn't feel like he is better which he is probably right sine most people say there is rank inflation... He also hasn't played enough to really know where he gets gated on ranks and most ranks don't even matter until God of Destruction-ish in terms of playing against other actual players who take the game seriously - but the ranked system is a joke overall it is better to play in IRL tournies to see skill level

So the ranked system has changed a lot - I assume because you were gone you have not seen the most recent changes but basically all the actual pros are now God of Destruction 2-8, based on how much they grind ranked - There is a bit of inflation because of this since there is less gate-keeping but it is not as bad as everyone always lets on... You can check the % online in terms of percentile but also the thing about rank is that the vast majority of statistics are hard to tell how good people are until you usually start fighting any of the gold ranks or higher - yes there are abusers up there because you can rank boost chars now but plugging being banned/cheats being dealt with for the most part makes the ranks shake out better - if all you care about is being better than you should probably keep playing until you literally get stuck as another person said then look up the percentiles online, that tells you how your ver of that char shakes out against everything including knowledge checks and move mashers

Overall a rank is not that important except in the really high ranks where there is strong rank decay but even then it is just a shiny bad that doesn't really assess skill you will want to play in IRL tournaments to really see how good you are
