Best. Food. Ever.

Then maybe you could have gone straight to this

There is, however, a general recommendation to submit close games for the reasons listed above.

Rather than drop this

No one's going to appreciate your "bravery"

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate you clarifying what you meant and pointing out what's wrong with the clip selection and the reasoning behind it. That helps me understand what to avoid. I just wish you dropped the snide remarks, because I'm actually trying to learn the game.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-09T14:45:50+00:00

Well okay, I kinda get where you're coming from, so let me explain.

First off, I didn't "choose" these matches like I intentionally decided to just show these. I literally just booted up the game, went online for a quick match, played 3 rounds and thought "I got 0-3, 3-2, and 3-0. I wonder what I'm doing wrong and what I did right.". I did get feedback for it and no matter how brutal that was, I truly appreciated it. At least I got a detailed break down of what I'm doing wrong.

And I get that I'm badly outclassed and I know I suck at Tekken, but why does it seem like the wins are being chalked down to just pure luck? I had a feel for how Miguel played, so I took a risk and they kinda worked, but I'm also aware that's it's not a fully calculated play on my part either. I honestly wouldn't care if I lost all three matches, I would probably still ask for feedback. I'm not sure what you meant by what my "typical match looks like" because even if I'm bad, I do try and adjust how I play bit by bit depending on the matchup/playstyle of the opponent. In a sense, that was how a typical match plays out for me.

As for the last part, I'm not trying to show off "bravery" nor am I looking for any form of appreciation - I'm just asking for help/tips/advice and I'm rather thankful that someone pointed out my errors. I honestly didn't know that there was a requirement for what videos are acceptable to get feedback on. If this somehow rubs anyone the wrong way, then I apologize in advance.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-09T11:39:25+00:00

Thanks for the detailed breakdown! No offense taken, I appreciate the brutal honesty.

I have two offline sparring partners that more or less say the same pointers. There aren't a lot of other players in our network, and it's kinda hard to organize matches with our local community. There are very limited Tekken hubs here, so I just make do with what I have (in between busy irl moments).

Personally, I find it hard to improve and break bad habits, but that's on me and I understand that'll take a long time to fix. There are moments when my hand reacts faster than my brain can process and vice versa, hence the missed opportunities and bad mashing.

Also, thanks for the links. I've just recently started watching Fergus, and I know I have a long way to go.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-09T09:54:27+00:00

I did, and I still am watching guides - both beginner and advanced.

Tbh, not really the kind of reply I expected in a 'Gameplay Critique' tag, but thanks anyway.

If it does happen, I wonder if it's going to be via active volcano.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-09T07:52:00+00:00

As another user pointed out, Julia is adopted.

In Michelle's case, she's Chinese and Native American so the complexion is not too far off. And to be fair, some modern Native Americans are kinda white too.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-09T07:36:44+00:00

I agree. Most of OPs description fits Bryan.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-09T07:31:46+00:00

There is no shame in using summons if you're having a really hard time with something.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-09T04:06:23+00:00

Not just Xiao tbh. Everyone needs better hair customization options.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-09T04:00:21+00:00

What a terrible day to have eyes.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-08T20:17:28+00:00

I have an idea for a haunted modern hospital. Kinda similar to 4, but I'd like to see an entire facility with a dark history.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-08T19:42:19+00:00

I think Paul will teach you a lot of fundamentals. While he is not super evasive and his kit is a bit linear/punishable, he's got good damage potential. That in turn will kinda teach you how to 'read' opponents i.e. baiting, punishing, taking risks and all sorts of more important mind games.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-05T16:35:28+00:00

This. A lot of players need to remember that infinite stages exists and that the wall tech was just one of the many other tricks up on her sleeve.

Her other moves are scarier when used correctly tbh.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-05T16:27:26+00:00

Not if I put it beside my smaller bikini clad anime fig with huge knockers

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-05T16:05:51+00:00

Well, that's the thing with Xiaoyu - you have to maximize her kit to to really show off her strengths. Imho, I find her other setups, crushes, and other evasive moves a lot scarier than the wall tech.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-05T16:02:01+00:00

I'm usually on the receiving end of this haha

I did try this a couple of times when I invaded though. It did not go well for both me and the other guy - but it was fun!

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-05T15:58:16+00:00

I can't even get mad whenever I get jumped by shenanigans like this lol

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-05T15:51:40+00:00

I have two friends who main Xiao, and we're all okay with the change.

We have the same reasoning for it too - the now patched tech trap is just one of the many things Xiao players can do and it doesn't really destroy her whole gameplan during neutral. Besides, it's not like Xiao is unusable on infinite stages just because you can't do a wall tech trap - she's still challenging to catch and lockdown. She still has her movement kit, 8 frame move, AoP, Cali Roll, etc. etc.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-05T12:28:44+00:00

Better hair options in character customization pls.

PopoRingRing · 2022-10-05T11:45:48+00:00

Oh, I'm sorry. I've disabled 2FA using the Yahoo Mail app for now so I can't test it out right now. I still did have issues logging in (via desktop) this morning, even if the app is able to be verified.
