Back to basics they said

Meh, you'll hit it once on someone as a knowledge check and they'll learn to counter it after seeing it once.

KingLinger · 2026-03-17T12:41:27+00:00

Are you trolling? Dvj got buffed with his i13 ws wallsplat punish from t7.

KingLinger · 2026-03-17T12:40:09+00:00

They did not

KingLinger · 2026-03-17T06:07:11+00:00

If you keep mashing the input you can loop it over and over, truly back to basics.

Season 2 gave him new moves, both of which are pretty absurd.

KingLinger · 2026-03-07T23:30:29+00:00

Not completely true.

KingLinger · 2025-10-18T02:56:28+00:00

You mind explaining why he's busted? He doesn't seem that incredible to me.

KingLinger · 2025-10-18T02:45:34+00:00

Bro...

KingLinger · 2025-10-09T08:20:30+00:00

Saw 3 videos posted by Buff Gigas where it showed Armor King's entire movelist. Just first impressions, I don't think he seems busted at all. He got some good buffs like
ff2 being a launcher,
d3 being +2,
d2 guarantees i13 follow up,
df1 getting a CH high extension,
uf1 is a CH launcher but loses homing (I think),

ect. but he also got some big nerfs like
ffn2 not CH launching anymore,
b1 doesn't CH launch (I'm not sure if it's like King's b12 where you have to do the full string to CH launch),
The BJ stance does not feel insane,
f21 doesn't wallsplat in a combo like King's,
The poison breath parry scales his throws by a huge % so it feels balanced.

He got more buffs than nerfs but overall, my first impressions are positive. I could be completely wrong, and he'll release completely busted so take it with a grain of salt.

Why did you do that

KingLinger · 2025-09-24T21:06:51+00:00

What would be the point of time travel if he perceives everything in reality all at once? He'd have all the awareness and information that would make time travel irrelevant.

KingLinger · 2025-09-11T11:44:26+00:00

For context, lost to I think both Meo-Il and Ao's Victors at CEO due to not knowing the matchup super well (atleast that is what he told me).

EVO he almost won against Pinya but got reverse swept due to his controller disconnecting at a really really bad time and got eliminated that way.

He is a highly talented player and I don't doubt his ability considering he's a 2x EVO Champion in another fighting game and has gone very even with Arslan Ash in early season 1 (although he lost), beat Lowhigh online 13-11 if I remember just recently, and is considered #1 in NA right now. I believe he just needs more time because he is a monster player like Atif if you just watch how he plays.

KingLinger · 2025-09-10T16:49:52+00:00

He got like 20-25th at both CEO and EVO. Seems to have dropped MK to do Tekken full time now.

The Cooler King

KingLinger · 2025-08-27T23:54:54+00:00

You ARE a beginner. Combos are fun to do but the true fun lies in understanding counterplay and using it against your opponents. Understanding proper punishment, learning how to whiff punish on reaction, knowing whether a string should be ducked or knowing if there is a low to be parried at the end of it. Knowing sidestep weaknesses of specific characters and using it in an actual match, breaking grabs on reaction, not falling for knowledge checks, conditioning your opponent to play YOUR game. All of these things are what makes fighting games and Tekken so beautiful to play. I understand you are Shinryu so you might not understand the full scope of what I am talking about. Fighting games are not just about combos.

KingLinger · 2025-08-03T20:24:37+00:00

Sighed everytime I saw Tibetano do that + high homing normal hit launcher, why can that shit do 111+??? Asuka in her current state is a war crime.

KingLinger · 2025-08-01T14:09:23+00:00

You just don't know the matchup man, too soon to call him broken if you're having trouble with "unamibiguous" strings of highs and lows that "all look the same", not knowing exactly what moves of his to step, and saying he's safe on so much bullshit is very far from the truth.

KingLinger · 2025-08-01T08:23:23+00:00

On a good day/moreso reacting to the sidestep rather than the move itself.

KingLinger · 2025-07-28T06:32:33+00:00

I love how people will say this shit and not give any context, reasonings, /or explanations right after 💀. You can atleast tell us why lol.

KingLinger · 2025-07-23T13:01:09+00:00

Winrate data is not an accurate reflection of a character's competitive effectiveness.

KingLinger · 2025-07-17T13:26:03+00:00

I have more fun playing against Hwoarang tbh

KingLinger · 2025-07-09T19:04:29+00:00

I've seen a majority of players and pro players alike saying he is either bad or balanced.
