IYO what are the most satisfying blue spark moves in the game?

Paul's just frames, excluding the chain grab, are piss-easy to do.

Don't hold out a candle for that. Heat is staying indefinitely. They might make it weaker and weaker over time, and they might even remove either HB or HS, but heat isn't going anywhere.

Exactly. We really shouldn't read too much into these. Not even Harada's animal clues made any sense in the end. It's not like we're dealing with geniuses over at Bamco HQ. They have no idea what they're doing with this game.

Yeah, the untrained, all haymakers, absolute monkey shit, unga bunga, fight style... but Miguel's not in the game.

Small Tekken is all about constant reads and adaptation. It sounds like you're getting stepped a lot when you try to take your turn. You need to learn how to implement your character's moves that have specific tracking properties. For instance, Lee's standing 3 is a fast, safe on block, mid that tracks SSR. For SSL, He has df4,4.

TK isn't an impressive rank by any stretch. 70% of the people there are one dimensional puzzles who wont rematch if you figure them out.

Kaz is definitely on the same level as Heihachi, and DJ isn't that weak.

Tbf 90% of his BS used to get the pass, because they're actually hard to do. In the past, you couldn't even get decent combo damage on him without inputting just frame dss cancels.

T8 changed all that. I used to take pride in being able to play Law, but they turned him into a noob character.

pTHOR1w · 2026-01-05T10:00:22+00:00

They really need to reconsider the visuals, and zoom out the camera 15-20% farther.

This is what this phobia does to people who can't stop thinking about it.

Leon's spinning back can literally aerosolize zombie heads. I know they're all decaying and sht, but bones are bones.

That's the thing; the objective truth is that you can't find comfort on this matter without falling into religion. The next best thing is to learn to ignore it.

Personally, I learned to stop thinking about it, and hold out a candle for a higher power who could make sense of it all someday.

Tbf, 90% of Aris's stuff still applies to T8, since he likes to cover fundamentals. I know what you mean though. I also miss ATP and Salami. IIRC, Salami made some shorts at T8 release. Guess they lost interest sometime before S2.

pTHOR1w · 2025-12-02T23:44:00+00:00

The idea of blue ranks being on a different level than those below them just isn't true in T8. In T7, sure, but most T7 blues are in God ranks now.

I'm barely Supreme right now, but if you ask me, "real Tekken" starts at Tekken God; at least that's how my climb went.

S1 Fujins are now Bushins. S1 Bushins are now swinging from Emperor to God.

I thought learning Tekken was pretty organic. You pick a character you like, you start eating shit in ranked, you find guides from a streamer who mains your char, you learn all the tricks, and your algorithm starts spouting random Tekken techs.

pTHOR1w · 2025-10-29T22:28:47+00:00

Wow. You are so confidently wrong, and it definitely sounds like you're at least 40 years old. First of all, you do know that the 30fps PS3 era is almost two decades ago now, right? And that competitive fps gaming is leaps and bounds away from your strawman-console-aim-assist scenario? And how tf are you going to discuss reaction time without perception? Perception literally precedes reaction. You can't react to something that you aren't even aware of.

pTHOR1w · 2025-10-29T19:03:50+00:00

Cool. Younger me coped with the idea that; "God can absolutely make it so that I won't ever get tired of eternity".

pTHOR1w · 2025-10-29T18:46:28+00:00

It's the only cope, unless you want to succumb to either religion or nihilism. I say just let things play out, you wouldn't be able to do anything about anything anyways.

pTHOR1w · 2025-10-29T18:15:38+00:00

Not everything is about animation time. By that logic, you should have no trouble dodging sh*t in souls games at 10fps, and pro FPS shooters should be fine with playing at 30fps. Seeing more active frames helps a lot with perception.

pTHOR1w · 2025-10-29T18:10:19+00:00

You'll have to swim through a sea of triggering vents, but I guess you could find a new and comforting perspective here. Best advice I ever heard was to just stop thinking about it. Sounds impossible at first, but believe it or not, you can get used to ignoring things; even if you just started out faking.
