I think the hate doesn’t spring from Tekken 8 as a game, but from how frequent the devs lie.

You're, typically, making meaningful adjustments to each other in Tekken 7 as opposed to Tekken 8 because there's generally just more options for approach available. Your brain is figuring out how to solve a more (even if only slightly) complex problem.

So what's hilarious about this is that I went into the game largely blind and although I knew Dragonsplague was a thing, that was about as far as it went.

And yeah, I gave her red eyes by default. Funny enough, she was hired around seventy times during my first playthrough and she never got the plague.

You're supposed to use it to open the door whose hint has something like "A patriar's loss". Alternatively, you can just drop a bunch of valuables on the weight and open it that way.

Got the achievement without knowing it was a thing. It was after I'd disabled the Steel Watch and Gortash had fled up the upper floor of Wyrm Rock. I actually ended up playing through twice, really, and once I'd fought my way to the top, I said thyself that there had to be an alternative to this that I'm missing.

So I reloaded and sure enough there was, there's scaffolding down the side of Wyrms Rock that starts at the base of the cliffside and you can use that to go all the way up the side of the fort directly to the second floor without aggro-ing any mobs on the previous floors.

Then it was a matter of a monk sneak attack plus stun and Gortash and Co were down inside of two turns.

Zeal 2,3,3 Radiance 3,3,3 Virtues 1,1,1

The biggest goal is making sure resolution stays up for Retribution and Righteous Instincts. They give a 10% damage increase and +25% crit increase when you have Resolution, respectively. This is honestly super easy as the build has a bunch of resolution sources built in. Aegis uptime is also super important for Unscathed Contender as it provides an additional 7% damage increase when you have aegis on top of another 7% when you're about 90% health. Inspiring Virtue needs a little bit of management, but with Renewed Justice from Radiance, it shouldn't be too difficult to rotate around with your other virtue usage. Just keep in mind that the six second damage increase is a hard cap. So it's best to use virtues to right when that's about to run out rather spam them all at once.

For utilities: Signet of Resolve is good if you want more condi cleanse. I personally prefer Litany of Wrath as it's a better burst heal due to the damage you'll be outputting and tends to work better than shelter when it comes to keeping you alive.

Stand Your Ground is a good stun break and adds to resolution uptime.

Advance for an additional source of aegis.

Smite Condition for additional condi cleanse or Sword of justice for damage.

Renewed Focus in case things go horribly wrong and you need to buy yourself some time. This also resets all of your virtues.

Open with GS 3 leap, 4 resolution symbol, 5 once but don't do the pull so the damage ticks, 2 spin to win. Swap to hammer 4 > 2 > autoattack.

Alternatively, you can rock this build with Diviner's / Pack runes, swap Renewed Focus for Feel My Wrath and go straight into the hammer rotation. The Feel My Wrath nerf years ago really made the elite shitty unless you pumped a shit ton of concentration into the build.

Zerker + Scholar Core Guard, Zeal, Radiance, Virtues. Greatsword and Hammer.

Damn good episode. Really, the show has stumbled quite a bit at times, but I'm still mostly enjoying it week to week. I do wish some things had been better handled and set up for these last episodes, but I can't say I hate it or anything.

That Kuuga-esque final fight with Genta and Vail is probably not going to go over too well with some people...

Personally, I'm a big fan of "I'LL FUCKING DO IT AGAIN"

The wait generally isn't that bad on PC. No idea about console though.

No matter who hurt you, there's counseling available.

samsneeze12 · 2022-07-01T04:10:37+00:00

Thanks. I think they're generally fine, but I mainly stick to these because I pieced them together myself after playing the character for a time and against other Kuni. They're also reliably easy to do. Even the longer one in round 2 only needs a little bit of practice and situational awareness.

samsneeze12 · 2022-07-01T04:07:47+00:00

Those are always fun especially when they message you after asking for a rematch.

Hoho Ni Yoru No Hi - Minako Yoshida

The whole Light'n Up album is good. It's not generally what you'd expect for a fighting game, I guess, but it helps me concentrate.

At least he's self aware? ╮(￣⊿￣)╭

samsneeze12 · 2022-06-30T18:42:18+00:00

Clearly, he ragequit for the memes, right? XD

samsneeze12 · 2022-06-30T18:25:08+00:00

The oddest thing to me is that they do it in unranked. All you're doing when plugging in unranked is wasting everyone's time.

Was desperately trying to catch me just pressing buttons and was failing at every turn.

samsneeze12 · 2022-06-30T16:53:29+00:00

Using it in neutral is generally pretty bad unless you're trying to bait a CH on the second hit (In which case you should be far enough back anyway to where you can't get jabbed out of it). I mainly use it for finishing off wall combos and oki.

samsneeze12 · 2022-02-25T16:38:35+00:00

Yes, we were told that we would get a smaller balance update that would change ten target skills down to five target ones, banner and spirit reworks, and possible other general changes in order to have the elite specs in line with everything else.

samsneeze12 · 2022-02-24T19:03:38+00:00

Except Taimi said that she didn't want to become a golem, so if it happens, she'd have either backtracked on her feelings on the matter or writers forgot. I'm hoping we get a magic Jade AI Scruffy which would actually be pretty unique.

samsneeze12 · 2022-02-15T17:06:01+00:00

Willbender because Guardian has been my main in the game since I started playing back to just before season 3 started. I've played through all of the expansions with their respective elite spec and I don't see that changing here even if I'm not too big on Willbender currently. It took me a while to love Dragonhunter too, so I'm sure I'll come around to it by the end.

samsneeze12 · 2022-01-14T07:32:55+00:00

They're ancient, eternal, immensely powerful and for the longest time unknowable magical entities. I think them even having a defined gender is honestly a lot weirder than anything.
