Lesson learned: "Never give up on your main character whether its strong or not."

[@cdogthehedgehog6923]

Unless its melee bowser lmao

[@FraserSouris]

I love the sentiment but the more accurate thing would be less "Panda is actually good" and more "Rangchu had the skills and experience to win despite using an overall worse tool due in part to the situational advantage". Because in a competitive game, people play to win so the best tools are going to be used more often. Generally speaking, if a tool or strat is considered a gimmick or low tier, then there is likely a reason why it's considered a gimmick or low tier. Perhaps it is inconsistent or unreliable, or requires the opponent be unaware or is very situational or has terrible odds of winning. If the option was actually or secretly good the whole time, then people would use it and it wouldn't be considered a gimmick or low tier. In the case of Rangchu and Panda, Panda does have some serious weaknesses that keep her low tier compared to top tiers like Devil Jin. An important aspect to consider is that because of the meta, it's very possible most players trained and practised against top tier picks like Devil Jin and therefore were more familiar against him. While since Panda was rare, few players had experience against her. Rangchu therefore had the experience and practise in fighting top tiers like Devil Jin while they didn't have the same experience against Panda. So yeah, mad respect to Rangchu for his skill and knowledge of the meta.

For anyone that doesn't know Tekken but enjoyed this video/story, the guy that goes "Panda; Really" is Mister Tekken Himself, K. Harada, creator of Tekken. Puts the panda pick more into perspective. (My favorite part btw)

So that event had the creator himself, but the prize was 7.5k? Damn talk about profit margins.

he is not the creator though he did help development as a producer and maybe even more, since back then video game staff did things outside what they were paid for eg. metzen writing lore and world building for blizzard games although he was originally taken in for art work related stuff. harada is considered the godfather of tekken

[@krusher181]

I think it gives us all hope when someone who’s not “the chosen one” becomes chosen. And anyone who wins with low tiers is very interesting to me - someone who’s been a big fan of physical sports my whole life. I absolutely love when someone is less strong/less experienced and finds some mental way to win. That’s what esports and something like football/soccer have in common... there’s a lot going on mentally that we can’t see. The more you watch, the more you can pick up. Hungrybox is honestly the reason I got into esports... and I actually got into smash too, after never giving it the time of day (grew up in the melee days and it was too elitist for me). Not that hungrybox is my favorite, but learning of his story made me really wanna see something like that happen in real life. Same reason I like watching a good football/soccer match of two teams I don’t follow. Ajax FC just pulled two major underdog victories in the champions league, for example. Not a huge fan of Dutch football or anything, but... something very satisfying about them beating both Real Madrid and the team with the most dangerous tournament player (Ronaldo), Juventus.

In the other you have a short fat boxer with one defeat in his record that even when he was in the olympics he couldn´t win. Everyone tought that it was gonna be easy, it was only a warm up fight to Joshua until his fight against the other heavyweight champion Wilder was negotiated.The odds where 21-1 in Joshua´s favor. The first 2 rounds where as expected but Andy was doing a better fight that most people tought, in the third round Joshua was able to drop Andy in the floor. Everyone tought that it was over ,even when they saw Andy getting up everyone tought that the rest of the fight was a mere formality,Joshua also tought that so he went close to Andy to finish the fight, but he forgot one thing, a thing that its wildy know in any combat sport. Be careful when you have a mexican corned I don´t know if is the food, most likely the culture but a lot of mexican fighters fight harder after a down or at disadvantage.When Joshua step close to Ruiz, Ruiz didn´t back up and went straight into a brawl dropping Joshua to the floor.And again in the same round. The fight changed in Andy´s favor since that round but he didn´t get careless he piled the preassure slowly until the seventh round when Joshua was totally spent and ko the biggest Draw in boxing right now. It was amazing

I think they owe it to him to change the name of Panda to Rangchu for tekken 8. This is literally a love story, the underdog who took one of the worst characters and practiced for years to achieve his dreams, and finally doing so after realising how well he and his character click together.

[@zraakuladann3946]

I think that one of the things that gave him some adventage is that most pro players were used to play against the main characters. They werent totally ready for fights against such a weird character, panda's moves seem kind of slow and that could sneak throught opponents blocking reaction timing. Panda's moves are less ortodox than what theyre used to fight against.

I love it when meta slaves get wrecked by off-meta. It makes Rangchu's accomplishment that much more impressive. You can make off-meta work, most gamers aren't willing to do what it takes to make that happen.

[@FraserSouris]

I love the sentiment but the more accurate thing would be less "Panda is actually good" and more "Rangchu had the skills and experience to win despite using an overall worse tool due in part to the situational advantage". Because in a competitive game, people play to win so the best tools are going to be used more often. Generally speaking, if a tool or strat is considered a gimmick or low tier, then there is likely a reason why it's considered a gimmick or low tier. Perhaps it is inconsistent or unreliable, or requires the opponent be unaware or is very situational or has terrible odds of winning. If the option was actually or secretly good the whole time, then people would use it and it wouldn't be considered a gimmick or low tier. In the case of Rangchu and Panda, Panda does have some serious weaknesses that keep her low tier compared to top tiers like Devil Jin. An important aspect to consider is that because of the meta, it's very possible most players trained and practised against top tier picks like Devil Jin and therefore were more familiar against him. While since Panda was rare, few players had experience against her. Rangchu therefore had the experience and practise in fighting top tiers like Devil Jin while they didn't have the same experience against Panda. So yeah, mad respect to Rangchu for his skill and knowledge of the meta.

It gives me an Infiltration Vs PR Balrog (Hakan vs Balrog) feel… Hakan was this character that everybody saw as a low-tier brick with some nice SPDs and grabs, but then people remembered, there wasn’t really a solid counter to him… Which caused Rog to start silently sweating bullets As weird of a gimmick he has, Hakan is still one of my favorite character designs, and he does have some decent moves I think
