My parents definitely have never heard of Tekken, but they bought me both Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl as a kid.

@@Moqlnkn my parents were and both still are real traditional gamers who were teens in the 90’s so they definitely know more of a tekken street fighter or a mortal kombat than a smash bros. We’re in a new age with people who play video games raised by people who play video games so this ain’t like the old days.

This aint dong dong never die

my website > street fighter x tekken > basics > getting the game

@@Moqlnkn much appreciated

tekken deez?

I double tap a lot. It's a KoF habit that comes in very handy.

Yes, although the official term is "Ohio," which is a country, not a city.

Oops, I meant Ohio the continent, not the country.

I played it for a few days when ABA came out. It's still trash.

I can, yes. But I don't want to play anybody except ABA.

If you can perform a special attack, you can perform a special cancel. Simply press an attack button, then input the special as or before the attack hits, and hold the button down. The easiest example is pressing Heavy Punch + Heavy Kick to get your character's standing Blowback attack, and then canceling into a Special from that.

@@Moqlnkn Alright so I need to work on moving my fingers a lot quicker. I struggle to do a punch then immediately put in the command for a special move. My fingers just don't move fast enough. Thanks for the help. I need to practice a hell of a lot more before i work on cancels.

@@druffyspinkilingus6121 Practice doing a rekka special, things that make you do several motions in a row. Duo Lon has one.

I got the "PXN-X8 Arcade Fight Stick Mechanical direction button controller with TURBO Macro Functions Plug and play Arcade Fighting For PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox One Xbox Series X/S Android TV Box, N-Switch" on Amazon for $63.

@@Moqlnkn Thank You.

I press a button for one frame very consistently. It's how I double tap. The frame counter in Tekken 8 is irrelevant. 100% consistency is probably impossible, though.

@@Moqlnkn Thank You for the response!

2 leaves the weave now. 1 and 3 detonate the weaves.

There were no comms in the alpha. There was also no way to type to your team manually, so discord was also not an option.

In your Steam Library, right click the game > Properties > Controller > Controller Configurator, then map your triggers to buttons you don't use (such as L3 and R3). The game doesn't recognize triggers by default. Also, make sure you Enable Steam Input in the game, if it isn't enabled already.

unlikely, not impossible

it's the same with everybody about everything in the year 2024

This was live-streamed. At the beginning, before people ask questions, I just say whatever is on my mind. I think Strive is a very bad game, which is why I have now uninstalled it. Then, when someone asked a question about Roman Cancels, I spent time to answer it thoroughly and as helpfully as possible. That's why all of my stream titles contain "Open Q&A" if you catch them live.

Actually, I don't pay attention to colors. I usually just pick the default color, the one the designers intended first. And the "kick" button in Guilty gear is how you select the default color in Yatagarasu (where it is the "light punch" button). So the muscle memory just carried over.

A factual statement

I highly recommend NOT playing on a handheld device. Play on a console or PC - most people play on Steam - and plug in your router via an ethernet cable. This will reduce the amount of latency between you and your opponent, causing your inputs to register faster and/or for the opponent's animations to display more sharply. If that is not your issue, or if you exclusively play offline, then there are a few things that could be contributing to your inability to block. It could be a malfunction with your directional buttons. It could be delayed inputs because of the Vita's hardware limitations. You should also know that certain attacks must be blocked a certain way. "Low" attacks must be blocked while crouching, and "Overhead" attacks must be blocked while standing. A few attacks cannot be blocked, namely throws and a few rare unblockables. While jumping, you can't block any striking attacks the opponent does from the ground, unless you use Faultless Defense. You also cannot block while attacking; your character must be in a neutral position. Blocking does not require ANY timing. You just hold a direction, and your character will automatically block when attacked, if possible. Slashback and Instant Block require timing, but just regular blocking and Faultless Defense do not.

@@Moqlnkn Thank u so much!!!!! ^_^ im only playing on ps Vita because its convenient. will Definitely have to do some testing

Always PC. In this case, Steam. Unless you mean a controller. I play on a Qanba Obsidian arcade stick.

@@Moqlnkn I just tried playing through fightcade but they don't have a training mode because it's the arcade version so I can't actually learn A.B.A. I'm sad about it

@@lustfulgodlilith9228 The Steam version is superior anyway. It's $3 on Instant Gaming right now, but out of stock, so you'll have to wait, or buy it directly through steam for $15, or wait for a sale, or find another distributor... or just play the game anyway, and learn through TRIAL BY FIRE. You'll lose a bunch, but that's fine.

@@lustfulgodlilith9228 Also, the Fightcade version appears to not have Plus R, which has new characters and balance changes for the old characters. It's generally thought of as superior to the previous version, although there are always those who disagree.

It's gotten better since it came out. I just got unlucky on yesterday's stream. It's still unacceptable on the developers' part, though.

@@Moqlnkn damn you think that this would be top priority

@@inksheep4548 I don't think they know HOW to fix it.

I believe that rule is becoming more popular over time, as it should. The optimal controller should not be a pizza box with fifty buttons. In a few games, not having this rule would break the game. Hilde from Soul Calibur is a good example. She had moves similar to Balrog's Turn Around Punch, which is to say you had to hold a button down for a while and then release it... except, in old Soul Caliburs, you could just bind the button twice, hold one of them down for the charge move, and use the other button as normal, which led to many overpowered interactions. This type of exploit is usually not possible, though - Soul Calibur was exceptional.

@@MoqlnknI appreciate your reply .., but I didn't get it. Which means KOF tournaments don't allow this from the aforementioned rules, right? Like with the SoulCalibur example ...

@@sneharashmi7553 I don't know the specific rules of any single KoF tournament. I wouldn't use controllers with multiple buttons bound to the same input, even if they were legal.
