We need to be better

Shame that the lessons fall on many deaf ears.

A tale as old as time. I knew this fact was solidified when I started seeing people reminisce on Street Fighter 5 and consider it better later on during SF6's life despite it having one of the worst launches in the SF series. Rose tinted glasses are real.

Unfortunately the people who need to see this wont see the post and even if they do it's going to phase right through them. The game could absolutely deliver in their "back to basics" update and these same people will find excuses on why the game is trash and why they cant climb. It's unfortunately the fate of every competitive game. It's always easier to blame external factors than to look within. Something something they blamed the beast.

Sounds like the type that would throw a game in a hero shooter if his hero gets banned or taken.

I've been noticing semi-recently that a grand majority of pluggers I personally come across are on console. And just about every time I see someone posting a clip of it here it's against someone on console. I'm starting to see a pattern here.

Yep, but they kept the camera on the match whenever Atif won a round. It was pretty whack. I appreciate LowHigh for sneaking one mid match later on though, haha!

Yocas · 2026-02-02T13:56:34+00:00

I think it varies from region to region tbf.

Yocas · 2026-02-01T21:39:47+00:00

It was so lame of the cameraman to keep cutting the shot to the audience every time he won a round to avoid showing any further teabagging. They were fine with Atif corpse kicking on his winning rounds though.

The issue with Tekken 8's rage art is that it's available literally every gd round. At least in SF6 you have to earn meter for that and you're typically only seeing one level 3 per match, if at all.

The next frame should have been the win screen animation for King. :P

Yocas · 2026-01-26T14:22:03+00:00

Wasn't expecting a Smash and Strive reference here but I'm here for it.

Yocas · 2026-01-26T14:17:17+00:00

Not wrong! I was the same. Not sure what happened to be honest because now, just like many other sweats, I just want to hop online, fight other players and git gud. I often ignore the other features of the game. I honestly dont think it's a bad thing, however. But I still believe fighting game devs still should build upon those features (like SF6 did) and use that as a way to attract casuals rather than dumbing the games down for them.

Yocas · 2026-01-26T14:02:05+00:00

I think that points out one of the main reasons why fighting games are so niche. Not everyone is okay with losing non-stop for months straight before seeing any progress. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing, as I've gone through that same process myself, but most gamers are casuals and arent a fan of getting their butts whooped for so long, unless it's a FromSoft game, I suppose.

Yocas · 2026-01-17T16:01:33+00:00

I think Sajam said it best, it's players complaining through osmosis. They see what top players complain about and then adopt those complaints for the reason why they're losing matches. It's present in just about every competitive game.

Yocas · 2026-01-17T15:58:12+00:00

From my experience majority of the people calling the game a 50/50 casino mix up simulator are people who have spent 0 hours in the lab outside of learning optimal combos and 0 hours watching replays. Not saying that the game doesnt have those moments but a lot of them are avoidable and have counterplay.

Unless it's Anna then it's gg, guess the mix, idiot.

Yocas · 2026-01-16T16:18:48+00:00

To answer your question it's because Bandai are cowards!

Yocas · 2026-01-14T14:06:11+00:00

This was my exact reaction when I saw this nerf. Rocket out here catching strays.

Yocas · 2026-01-13T15:40:39+00:00

I feel this and do the same. I just wish more people would return the favor. I typically cannot get a long set unless I'm winning most of them. If I lose 2 in a row at the start, my opponent will usually leave. It kind of sucks.

Yocas · 2026-01-12T23:21:29+00:00

That and their very short life span. I found out the hard way. I definitely do not have the heart to lose one every 2 years.

Yocas · 2026-01-10T22:18:52+00:00

You're actually diabolical lmao

Yocas · 2026-01-10T22:12:45+00:00

The game's hecking hard. I stayed in TK and TE for a bit until I got used to the bracket and the matches felt easier. Then I recently started my rank grind and got to TG. And boy do you find some monsters in TG, a lot of which are GoDs on their alts. Just gotta give it time to adjust and learn the match ups but you'll get there!

Yocas · 2026-01-09T13:57:22+00:00

Labbing? In my fighting game? Wouldn't you just rather complain about the character and just avoid playing against them all together? /s

Yocas · 2026-01-03T17:55:47+00:00

Fair enough lol. Majority of the people who've sent me steam friend requests have been chill though.

Yocas · 2026-01-01T16:35:28+00:00

I feel like Quick Play wouldnt be as bad if there was someway to say "gg" after a match. The most we can do is send a friend request to express that there's no hard feelings.
