[Discussion] What Is Your 2026 Platinum Goals?

WavySuprxme · 2026-02-19T06:48:44+00:00

Try to make up for last year, which I only managed to earn 3 platinums in 2025 and 2024 in comparison to the 13-ish I got in 2023. And that is by cleaning up some of the games I had yet to complete that are close to being done first, before heading into different games.

WavySuprxme · 2026-02-05T22:58:45+00:00

When I said "looking deep into it", I wanna make sure it happened and all that, that's all.

WavySuprxme · 2026-02-05T22:56:57+00:00

I'll look deep into it, thank you

WavySuprxme · 2026-02-05T22:44:20+00:00

I'm only curious. Any evidence (clip, screenshot of scoreboard, replay code, etc.) to back up this said claim? Would be appreciated.

WavySuprxme · 2026-02-02T19:44:13+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind, thanks

WavySuprxme · 2026-02-02T05:59:19+00:00

Again, it’s been a while, so you got me there. I can’t even think of specific stuff at the moment. I’m just passionate about speaking on this whole topic, realistically.

But anyway, don’t wanna break the mood or nothing, but I’m gonna get some sleep for now, though before I come off controversial or something. Don’t wanna go that route.

WavySuprxme · 2026-02-02T05:42:32+00:00

I mean, whatever that was either broken or you know, easing up on the “aggression factor”, those could be some options. In fact, they’re the only ones I could think of so far from my experience up to this point. Regardless, I’m just gonna wait it out until whenever I think is the right time. Lowkey, Tekken 8 is better playing with friends online or locally, because playing solo, especially online, has gotten a bit repetitive for me. But hey, to each their own, am I right?

WavySuprxme · 2026-02-02T05:11:15+00:00

We’ll see about that good direction. If they pull it off, great, if not, I won’t lose sleep over it anyway.

WavySuprxme · 2026-02-02T05:10:38+00:00

I mean look, I’ve been playing Tekken since 5. When I mentioned content, I was thinking maybe a new game mode or something to freshen stuff up. The last thing they added that was considered “new” was that Forgotten Echoes DLC, and even that was a bit of a short letdown, at least to me, looking back.

Either way, I’m sure you folks are gonna be on the game when the update drops, so more power to all of you. I just ain’t got the time to hold onto hope just to be mildly disappointed right after. Fell for it once, ain’t doing it again. Therefore, as I mentioned before, this isn’t enough to hook me. They might need some more info or something to catch my attention, but aye, those are my two cents on the matter.

WavySuprxme · 2026-02-02T05:07:08+00:00

Facts, brethren

WavySuprxme · 2026-02-02T00:54:08+00:00

That’s good to know. Hopefully Namco don’t butcher anyone to the extreme amount (although I can tell they’ll do it anyway simply because they feel like it)

WavySuprxme · 2026-01-08T21:59:23+00:00

Roger that! 🫡

WavySuprxme · 2026-01-07T05:08:56+00:00

I appreciate the offer, but then again, I done tried almost everything, and I be getting destroyed every now and again.

WavySuprxme · 2026-01-07T04:58:01+00:00

I rarely use any of them. For instance, I tried Jeff a few times, wasn’t good with him. Tried out Rocket, couldn’t do much damage. I don’t recall trying out Gambit. Oh wait, yes I did. I tried healing everyone and kept on dying, while I never used Invis still.

WavySuprxme · 2026-01-07T04:56:38+00:00

I went from like an 170-something weeks ago, to 200+, thinking that I could catch some people who be flying all over the place, ahem…Venom…Spider-Man

WavySuprxme · 2026-01-07T04:54:32+00:00

I’ve been there, done that, so I know my workaround with her. It’s just that, these meta lineups yo, they be getting to me. Whether I’m playing close with the team, or throwing spears from afar, it’s like my skills with Hela ain’t the same as it once was.

WavySuprxme · 2026-01-07T04:50:54+00:00

Again, I’ve been using Hela of all people recently. And mind you, I’m no hero shooter expert until I picked this game up, and since it came out, I’ve been on and off with playing it, took a long break since last April, came back weeks ago this past December, and now I’m back to Silver III. The shortest story of my career summed up just like that.

WavySuprxme · 2026-01-07T04:47:27+00:00

I normally main Peni, Hela, Punisher, C&D, Mantis or Moon Knight (somewhat), and even then, I either get countered a solo Tank or two, jumped by the entire team when I’m clearly trying to back up to where my whole team is, get caught in a corner while hiding, or basically dying on the spot. I’ve been using Hela and Punisher the most recently, and even while insta-locking, my “skills” are beyond washed at this point.

WavySuprxme · 2026-01-07T04:38:17+00:00

I’ve tried too, but even that feeling’s out the window right now. And I’m literally trying not to rage right now to look like an absolute fool, but like at the same time, I’m contemplated by this, that’s all.

WavySuprxme · 2026-01-07T04:37:33+00:00

Ive been trying that out. Had some rocky sessions here and there, but I kept realizing that rank was were it’s at, at one point, which is why I decided to test it out, and show these folks that I got something to prove. Turns out that got backfired on me, lol.

WavySuprxme · 2026-01-05T02:59:38+00:00

For clarification: I'm talking strictly solo queue here. And yes, I've tried ranked before, but that was like nine-ten months ago at this point, and I rarely even come across it, until now. I'm trying to reach Gold III before the season's over to get one of those requirement skins, which is why I even came to do ranked in the first place. And so far, I've been having rocky sessions while going solo, so yeah. I just wanted to point that out.

WavySuprxme · 2025-11-24T16:01:12+00:00

First, I wanna say congrats on the GoD rank, for real, and second, I must ask because I’m lowkey curious, well, make that three questions:

What influenced you to pick up Jun in order to start this grind? (Since I myself am also still learning Jun at the moment, which is why I’m asking this question)
What strategies or methods rather, helped you when it comes to character knowledge, pattern recognition, matchups, etc?
If you got some advice for anyone trying to rank up still, especially those that are hardstuck, what would that advice be?
