Game isn't kind for newcomers or beginners at all.

If you don't know the cast your going to lose to spam til you do.

There's really not any fighting game that's kind to new comers really. Tekken actually is a bit easier for newbies to do moves easily, tho that doesn't mean you you gonna fare well against those that know the game more. Persona's a bit welcomes to newcomers I guess since combos can be done with one button.

If you're talking about kids and women just mashing buttons then, yeah they can pull of more "cool" looking moves than most fighting games.

In Tekken you die for not getting up properly. The scale from beginner to average to good to great is more drastic in this game than most other fighters.

The getting up properly part holds true, tho I really don't see the scale you speak of being much greater than most other modern fighters out there. I'm surprised you even see it that what being a VF head and all.

Hes right, you can eat a lot of damage in the process of trying to get up once on sometimes twice. One trip will send u back to the ground to do it all over again. Some people play very demonically. You have 2 types of cheeseheads in this game. The people who dont do any other move in the game besides launchers with air juggles and the people who trip and try to scrape up ground, rising and retrip damage. These are typically the same people who launch spam.

I've said this in another thread. Tekken is easy to learn but hard to master. If you're a Tekken fan you're not like to forget your mains even after a long time of not playing them but getting better with that main is on some other shyt.

Anything beside backrolling.

I tend to tech roll to the sides or just lay there for a second. If they do a move that whiffs you can hit them with a wake move most of the time.

I disagree. If we're talking about playing at a high level... it's difficult to learn period.

For example, simple movement in Tekken is a skill in it's own. Spacing your opponent, and making them whiff (basically turtling) is how the pros excel at this game. And it's not easy at all.

Back dash cancelling, side stepping and side walking, etc... these techniques aren't necessarily easy for people just picking up the game. If you just watch the way a player moves around you can tell the difference in skill alone.

Then factoring in knowing the casts strings, and what leads to what AND how to avoid getting it with it or evading it is some shyt breh. Especially with a massive roster.

I was talking casual going to hardcore. Characters are pretty accessible and easy to get use to but going pro is what's going to be grueling.

It was easy for me to jump into Tekken but hard when I decided to go serious. For games like SF learning the characters were down right discouraging from the start.

i know most of the cast. i've played all tekkens up until TTT

the biggest issue is I used to be a BEAST in Tekken but I'm not executing at the level I hold myself at. so its either A: dedicate an extreme amount of time to get to that level or B: cut my losses.


i used to be so sick in TTT that my matches looked like real live karate matches. the movements were so fluid and my reaction time was just :ohlawd:

also i knew just about everybody's moves so I could counter everything. im no where near that level now. obviously I could cheese to a victory but I like to win with style.

the game is SICK. i just wish i had more time. I made the same mistake with MvC3. :to:

the bold is pretty key, knowing peoples moves gets u places. especially with dudes that look like they are hitting mid and it hits low, or vice the opposite, keeps u from getting launched and juggled....
