Mentioned it last video. Afro is a Great Green/Yellow Rank player. Maximizes on 1 dimensional gimmicks that get figured out with techs and spacing. Perfect for noob stomping, but weak against the better player. Its Specialty Mindset All Over Again, meanwhile RDC will be improving with actual fundamentals, techs etc.

[@Guirko]

At this point your victories mean nothing bro. Worse even, because it's reinforcing your bad habits. You got some short term gratification throwing people who don't know how to tech, but you're mashing out of block, randomly going for big moves, and you almost never mix up with lows anymore. Lotus please help this man 😩

[@af1199]

@@Blackmagic_874yeah about that…..

[@devvilboyy676767]

At this point, I think you've learned enough. Few things you need to start practicing: -It's time you start practicing how to recognize patterns and how to counter or punish them. That's your weakness right now. You keep getting caught by the same combos and moves you've seen countless times. -You need to stop relying on grabs. Once your opponent catches your strategy, you're cooked. Grabs are slow and a 10 frame hit can easily out speed it.

[@fabricevalentin1745]

His recovery when his grabs don’t work is bad. He ends up scrambling and it’s his downfall.

I wonder if he’s trolling us at this point. First thing people told him was “you’re not going to get better at Tekken by mashing your head against the wall in ranked like other fighting games”, and he still refuses to do anything else with a few 5 minute exceptions that literally worth nothing. Also, special control is not “cutting corners”, you literally make the road longer by using it. It actively makes you a worse Tekken player.

@@igg7865he did a few very basic ones which is fine, it’s the least of his issues, but he still refuses to not play this game like its a storm game. More than half the damage he takes is because he refuses to be patient and block instead of trying to skip neutral. He barely punishes anything. Haven’t even seen him attempt to avoid attacks by sidestepping, or even trying to learn what can be sidestepped.

[@xWebdriverTorso]

“Fear not the man who knows 1000 attacks, fear the man who’s done 1 attack 1000 times” Roughly quoted. Take your time, don’t let the losses get to you, and learn something from each one. Don’t get bogged down trying to take on more combos. Master the ones you know, and when I say master I mean be able to apply it at will. THEN move on to other attacks. It’s the long road, but if you actually wanna get good and not just pub stomp then it’s the only way to do it. Commit. Just remember, you don’t learn anything from wins. You got this man just stick with it.
