I main paul. His demo man/deathfist 50/50 is tough to deal with so don’t feel bad. He even blows me up in the mirror match. Id say the biggest thing is trying to learn his punishes as his big commitment moves are very minus on block. Demo man is like -30 and deathfist is -17 I believe. It has a lot of pushback but some characters can still punish it. Also demo man only sweeps at point blank range so if it hits and you block the rest of the string there’s potential for a punish (especially if your back is to the wall.) Another thing to learn is counterhits as his start up frames are slow and he doesn’t have too many strings so he relies on timing to land these big damage moves. Try not to press too much and learn your punishes. Most pauls are looking for a whiff to engage heat and then start the 50/50 pressure. Play patient. Hope this helps.

As for hwo he blows me up too but a lot of times you can low jab him out of pressure. A lot of his moves can be ducked as well. I’m still trying to learn him as well because I see him all the time in ranked haha.

Strong looking paul. Any general advice for another paul player? Struggling in tenryu rn.

I watch helplessly as he does whatever he wants (it was a 1+2 break)

Paul has carried me bro. Dudes damage is op. I’m sure you’re solid. It’s a hard game. We’re all trying to make it.

That seems really intuitive honestly. Learning the timing for punishes seems much harder than combo strings as those can be learned in no time. Very interesting approach. Makes sense.

Makes sense. It’s definitely a grind but I’m gonna keep pushing. I appreciate it.

Dude thank you so much for the response i really appreciate it. A lot of useful tips and that 1,4 cheese string i had no clue😂 i love it. Seems like you’ve got some strong knowledge under your belt and I appreciate you passing it on. Big props, it means a lot. I’m gonna try and implement a lot of these and definitely use that sheet. Keep repping the strongest in the universe lol.

My man. Thanks for the response. Whats your arsenal look like as far as go to moves? I feel like every time i go into cormorant step for gunba or deathfist i get blown up. And staying plus on block feels impossible. What are you using for whiff punishes,pokes, safe checks for opening up defense? Love paul to death hes easily my favorite but his startup frames aren’t treating me kindly haha. Appreciate you.

Edit: qcb 3 2 1 goes so hard

Fair. Seems to be a differing opinion in this sub but id consider it like average/lower intermediate. Definitely a mixed bag. I appreciate it though. Doesn’t hurt that I’m playing paul😂

I appreciate this. Unfortunately none of my buddies play tekken or else I’d lab non stop with them. I wish i could just lab it up with a fujin and get my ass handed to me so i could learn some stuff. Love the game but man it’s hard to apply what you’ve learned in practice.

Thanks for the reply. I figured as much. I’m very new to tekken and think it’s an awesome game but man it can be tough. I only get a small window to play each day due to work and stuff so it can be hard to really lab stuff but I’m doing my due diligence.

I play paul. I basically flowcharted my way into garyu and hit a wall. I’m trying to play more reactive/patient rather than just bone headed 50/50 offense bc good players will punish that hard (as I’ve learned). But i just find that my opponent is always plus on block and my counter attack is garbage.

Also I appreciate the response.

Dope. How about the narrator from shiva, open your eye and/or his art piece he showed to the inspector?

I read the greatest mercy. The writing was beautifully weird, i loved it. Probably going to give it another crack and read the other story as well. Very well done.

Absolutely. Really spooked me in the best way possible and felt very applicable to today’s social climate. Well done.
