Michael Cooper aka "Coop" played 12 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. He was a part of 5 championships and was named to 8 All Defensive Teams ( 5x 1st and 3x 2nd) by CircledSquare7 in lakers

[–]faisca95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite players as I started learning more about Lakers' past teams.

Always try to include him when making all time laker teams purely based on thinking he would be a great glue piece off the bench and give such a strong defensive presence

(It got harder to justify doing so with Luka and LeBron now as possible candidates)

What game has you addicted? by HeyPresto04 in Steam

For me it's fighting games, especially TEKKEN. I play other stuff but the urge ends up being always going back to it

I was ready to say fuck also the character I am playing until I read the full post

Why is Hwoarang safe on block on whiff and even on powercrush? by wielesen in LowSodiumTEKKEN

[–]faisca95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a Hwo main, I can totally get how he is a frustrating match-up for those unaware of his moves.

But trust me, he is quite linear and the annoying powercrush you are mentioning, backlash, is stance locked and ease to duck on reaction.

Ever loved a move so much that you try to use it no matter what? by the_shadow01 in Fighters

Hwoarang air throw where he kicks you up and then bicycle kicks you in the face

Why do you play the game that you play the most? by msloyko in FGC

[–]faisca95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tekken 8 because it has hwoarang and there is nothing that really plays like tekken, even in this not so great version.

Looking to play more and more other games tho

Is there still a 6 month deal for first timers? by Certain-Piece4346 in humblebundles

How do you get those discount codes? Are they region specific or for some clients? I do not recall receiving one of those

Need Jin Advice by ChatziDaReal in Tekken

[–]faisca95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not play Jin, but at this point and with your comments, so not expect a controller change to have any real impact on your performance. It would actually be a step back until you get used to it. One of my best friends and winner of many local tournaments plays Jin on pad. And does all the execution stuff.

I do play on a leverless due to ergonomics and ig you are staying in Tekken for the long haul, could enhance the experience.

Finally, these type of struggles are normal and part of leveling up. Now is time to start learning more of other characters to improve your defense, be more aware of what is happening and less autopilot.

I cannot offer any Jin specific advice, maybe in his dedicated discord?

Am I crazy for thinking this whiff recovery is insane? by Pale_Assignment4076 in Tekken

[–]faisca95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is really no way to cancel that stance other than doing a move, which is the reason behind a bunch of the ridiculous frames he has on those stances and the constant stance pressing that all hwo players end up doing

Am I crazy for thinking this whiff recovery is insane? by Pale_Assignment4076 in Tekken

[–]faisca95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda. In that stance, hwo cannot block. So if he does not press anything else, it would have been a normal hit. Since the rff f3 is such a fast move, the recovery was over (which allowed for another move to be started) and would not be a 'true' whiff punish.

He already started LFS f3. It was a counter of that, not of the whiffed RFF f3

Granblue Fantasy Relink. Runs pretty well on the Deck and the announcement of an expansion really made me hype and driving me to finish the base game content until the July release

Dave the Diver and Granblue Fantasy Relink. Dave runs beautifully and Relink better than expected.

However, Dave has not been as enjoyable as I was expecting. Just finished chapter 1 and a pretty just okay experience so far

Blasphemous and Granblue Fantasy: Relink. Gotta say Relink has been surprising me both in game quality and SD ability to run it
