I Love Armor King But These Throws Are Annoying

[@moreSMOREplease]

Hearing a mishima player complain about 50-50s is hilarious, its okay though the salt gets to us all.

[@R1C4RD0R3D15]

Why? Most characters in the game have great 50/50s. Maybe as a Kazuya player this is funnier, but not all Mishimas.

[@blissx7556]

Well generally speaking, you should learn throw breaks against literally every other character since you can react to their hands.

[@rivencarriedu5690]

@@AfroKing. as an ak main, trust me learning throw breaks do not help against king and AK. since they break the rules of throw breaking. out of wave dash you can do 1/2/1+2 throws that look.. double handed. for example: Crouch dash qcb1+2 and Cd1+4 are two different breaks and they look exactly the same.

[@aramil_0]

@@rivencarriedu5690 oh ok. so even more riskless damage. i getcha

[@rivencarriedu5690]

@@aramil_0 there’s like basic amounts of risk to throwing it goes for every character. A single sidestep, backdash, ducking. Keep out moves like Lee b4 Asuka b3 Chloe uf3 josie uf3 Bryan 3+4 king uf1 armor king b1+4 Steve duck stance and so on. But it’s minimalistic risk. Not a lot.

[@R1C4RD0R3D15]

@@AfroKing. Yeah for sure, but he's one of the only characters in the game that can force a true on-rails 50/50. Total rng.

[@KyokoUltimate]

@@R1C4RD0R3D15 I understand the cheesy natures of throws, but how are they true 50/50s? You gotta get hit by the throw first which are highs for the most part, and you get another chance at breaking them after.

[@R1C4RD0R3D15]

@@KyokoUltimate Because armor king's and king's throws can only be broken by 1 of three potential inputs. I believe its actually worse than a 50/50, and would be a 33% chance of breaking it. You need to guess which input to use, and I don't believe there is any way to know which one it is a the time they use it.

[@ahhhh4723]

Yeah but that's the whole point of a grappler lol. Doing a throw (which can ducked or sidestepped) is a commitment in itself; you can easily be launched for attempting it. And then the one being grabbed STILL has a chance of breaking it. Also, there's a vid out there of JDCR in rank consistently breaking this King's shining wizard/giant swing mixups. It's not easy, but it's possible to react to the hand height/speed at which it comes out (between GS and SW), the distance at which they attempt the throw if their inputs aren't clean, and the situation in which they attempt the throw (back to wall, facing wall, etc.) which makes it not 'total' RNG

[@therealmccoy2004]

AK can really be a pain in the wazoo!! Love the design but damn..

[@juiceer3320]

the term 50/50 is vague and misleading , they are 90/10 to new players 70/30 to intermediate , 60/40 to the elites , with arlsan , knee khan or meo-il even devilster and xhk-asad this is where a 50/50 is bound to 50% failure

[@viesli7724]

7:10 actaully as a ruler rank its the opposite for me if i go against a someone with high rank main i try play better and overall if i lose i lose in a good way other rulers are giving me cancer most of the times

[@shaokahnthecenturion9682]

I’d rather get hit by a throw than a low that leads to a combo, I’m bias as a grappler player but throw chains have a chance to be broken every step of the way but a combo from a launcher you just have to sit and watch

[@rhyanvalk7897]

Low launchers are pretty rare though but im guessing you cant block snake edge on reaction

[@mozeyad4573]

IMO, Tekken matchups should be based on Prowess not Rank.

[@2lowkey100]

I don’t know if that would work. You can get a bunch of prowess just by playing different characters (at least I think so), so you can end up getting double the prowess of a player that is a character loyalist, even if they’re a better Tekken player. I think ranked would be better if 2 matches minimum with the same player were required. A lagger would be annoying, but it would clean up the amount of people getting carried by never rematching players that beat them (or almost beat them), so it would be more reflective of skill.

[@G-R-IE-IE-D]

@@2lowkey100 yeah injustice was like this. In ranked it forced FT2 but all it did was make people rage quit exceptionally more. That would only work if they actually implemented a punishment for rage quitters.

[@K01CHI]

''Just break the throw'' doesn't solve the actual problem. In fact the ''root'' of the problem is King and Armored King themselves as they were built that way , its not about whether if you CAN break them or not , its about whether if you get the CHANCE to break it or you GUESSED right. Sure some of grabs can be broken , but if its the ones where you really need to GUESS which input is the correct one unless you're a LITERALY GOD , forget learning how to ''break the thow'' , you are in Lady Luck's hands.

@@2lowkey100 The point is that he complains about being forced to play AK (one of the most popular chars) over and over again while he plays Kaz who is even more popular lol. Oh, and apparently he doesn't like being mixed too. Hypocrisy, much?

Funny salt session though.

Yeah since I hit fujin on both xbox and ps4 I kept getting matched up with gods on secondaries. It is torture. I stopped playing rank every since. Rank in 8 needs to show me who I match up with or rank all characters up at the same time or have gods on secondaries match up with other players on secondaries. Other fighting games do these things. So can tekken.
