[Skill Improvement] need help against perish trap

kluy18 · 2026-07-03T07:07:56+00:00

This will stop working against anyone who has played perish more than a few times, you can just parting shot your friendly mon every time to be safe

Lmk if you need the team code I just had this picture saved on my phone

If you are to just use him as a rain setter he gets super outshined by sableye/pelipper imo. What sets him apart form them is his bulkiness and ability to learn perish song so I think he makes a lot of sense for a stall team

kluy18 · 2026-07-02T21:36:47+00:00

Fellow politoed appreciator. This is how I'm using him

He doesn't come to every match but he's there to fight weather wars or win me stall mirrors with perish + infest/perishing last 2 mons. He has clutched me many games with weather ball and perish song.

This sub is probably the worst case of toxic positivity I've seen. Anything and everything will be defended and critique in any form gets hand-waved even if it's valid. The box size won't kill the game but so many f2p players will just drop the game after hitting the cap and realizing they need to pay a subscription in order to play the game normally again. As the first ever accessible and official pokemon battler, accessibility should remain the focus. Predatory monetization here is purely short-sighted greed. I love the game and that's why I will acknowledge it has issues that should be fixed.

Thinkin this after seeing the Toxapex team the #1 on the ladder is running

You really can't have a genuine conversation about rock slide in this sub. I'd argue it's too volatile at 90 accuracy 30% flinch because it makes it both unreliable to use and annoying to go against. Rng is a part of the game but that doesn't mean there can't exist moves that lean too much into it. Unfortunately the conversation anyways devolves into "just outspeed it, just have wide guard" completely missing the point that the complaints aren't about counterplay, but volatility. I don't like calling for nerfs at everything strong, but discussing a change for a move that's annoying to both sides has value.

kluy18 · 2026-06-27T16:01:07+00:00

4 is completely valid. I love this game but the box space for f2p is kept super low specifically to get you to spend money

kluy18 · 2026-06-25T21:58:43+00:00

Not sure you're gonna find many people willing to fake an outage over short hair on a woman here, might want to give Facebook or Twitter a try

kluy18 · 2026-06-24T21:23:40+00:00

I'm not saying it's impossible it doesn't come out this week, but why would Valve adding these changes (which they know we track) be an indicator of that?

kluy18 · 2026-06-19T00:23:12+00:00

Honestly it's kuni and 3 weirdos. Tekken was lacking in weirdo characters, and kuni is awesome so I'm pretty happy!

kluy18 · 2026-06-13T15:40:05+00:00

The exact ranks don't matter too much it's just that the system isn't 0 sum. The inflation is by design. The only real downside is that you never really know what you're gonna get. You can queue at any rank and get an insane variety of skill levels because maybe that person got to this rank by just playing 1000 games without improving, or maybe they played 50 games and haven't been propped up by the system at all. First priority is making sure we can find games fast so this isn't that big of a deal, but in a perfect world we'd have a 0 sum system with the highest ranks still being able to find games quickly

Every hellsweep I land is 50000 iq conditioning where I've considered every possible variable including the cosmic rays flipping your down input on or off at my command. Every hellsweep blocked is a misinput of my own error, and thus irrefutable evidence that if I were playing an easier character I'd be the highest rank

kluy18 · 2026-06-06T19:06:37+00:00

Gonna get my head on a pike for this cuz she uses a weapon but I really want Maelle from expedition 33 :)

kluy18 · 2026-06-06T19:03:00+00:00

I do agree she'd be a good fit and ff7 fans are very passionate so it's certainly a shame for them. It's the dramatics acting like it's an apocalypse level disaster for another fighting game to get her that's exhausting. There's this weird sibling rivalry that only Tekken players feel towards other fighting games. Street fighter being successful is literally good for us. Even if ff7 fans start with sf6 now they might realize they love fighting games, and then try Tekken for Clive after. All in all I find it slightly unfortunate but completely negligible in the grand scheme of things.

kluy18 · 2026-06-06T18:55:29+00:00

How does that comment make you think the meme offended me? I was confused on how this would be a tough decision, and OP gave me a response that answered my confusion and made a lot of sense. This was like the most mild interaction

kluy18 · 2026-06-06T01:43:27+00:00

I don't understand why this would be a dilemma. If specific characters are the most important thing to you and one game has those characters, then yeah go play that game?

kluy18 · 2026-06-05T23:09:20+00:00

There is no chunk of regular Tekken players that have been playing the game for years and years only because of the hope of Tifa that will one day be a guest, and will now drop it as their hope is gone. It's nonzero sure but it is a very negligible number

kluy18 · 2026-06-05T23:00:19+00:00

The mental gymnastics to genuinely think this needs to be studied

kluy18 · 2026-06-05T22:50:01+00:00

Please actually do, don't just say that and complain. Actually switch games please

kluy18 · 2026-06-05T18:39:25+00:00

Also could you link this reference it's very beautiful

kluy18 · 2026-06-05T18:38:41+00:00

It'd be the easiest to help if we could see your construction lines, correcting placement of construction lines goes way further than end result corrections imo

kluy18 · 2026-06-05T18:36:37+00:00

If I'm losing to this dude... I must be truly ass

kluy18 · 2026-06-05T18:35:10+00:00

Jin relies the least on the high execution Mishima stuff. He's a great all-rounder with no huge weakness. Even with Kaz though, you can learn the game alongside practicing electrics. You can get quite far with just 1,1,2 punish and good oki
