It was a bit more harder than I thought as it seems like players are now used to the new system and the nerfs. It was chaotic ranking up, I just finished my work shift and I'm tired, my fingers were tired that I was dropping a lot of combos even before the rank-up match but I can just taste it. It was exhausting but still fun in the end.

I want to hold back in saying that Asuka is weak because she's been gutted the most this S3, I know there will be more nerfs incoming that hopefully will balance the playing field.

My thoughts while playing, I will also add my own Tier List just based on how I feel fighting these characters:

• Lidia and Alisa needs to be gutted like a fish, or at least in Lidia's case is tone down her plus frames and damage, and make he burn a lot of heat and medals when doing some of her moves. Alisa needs to be reworked.
• I think Dragunov or John Tekken is the best character in the game right now. He has all the tools, the damage, with what I feel a few drawbacks, but I'm not sure how he can be balanced. Bryan's damage needs to be toned down.
• IMHO Law is okay, just remove the heat regen. King (and Armor King in extension) needs to be toned down, they should not 2-tap you for 60 damage, plus tracking throws needs to be removed. Fck Victor, fighting him feels like they are playing a different game. Hopefully they nerf Hwoarang's tracking, how can you side step when he is a SSC or where his chest is facing? I think Zafina's alright, her chip damage needs to be toned down though.
• I enjoy fighting everyone in my A+ tier, except Lars, fck Lars. His wall ender damage needs to be toned down, plus there should be a penalty if he whiffs an attack from entry as he is too mobile and just zips away. Lili is SSL, but she keeps realigning or maybe nerf her tracking? I'm not really familiar with all her new moves since the last time I played her was Tekken 6. I feel Jin is okay, maybe tone down his plus frames a bit?
• Because of AK, there are ton of Shaheen players, luckily they're not as good as AK. Once you read their gimmick, they were manageable.
• Eddy player? On Wi-Fi? With a potato PC? Sorry win or lose, its a one and done and a block. I just don't want to be stressed and this feels like a QoL improvement on my end.
• Fahkumram is lowkey very strong because of his range especially with a capable player that will just keep you out and he has counter hits. Its hard getting close, maybe they should increase his hurt box a bit.
• They should remove guard break from the game, or change the hit property.
• No one should be able to regenerate heat.
• I wish there was a way to filter out Wi-Fi players.

The bonus clip was just my longest win streak, and I'm just a bit proud of it even if the last match was a Miary Zo (which finessed me with 100+ damage) which is huge knowledge check on me so I just tried to block mid. Lost the streak to the next game vs a GoD2 or GoD3 Leroy which is also a KC on me.

In my life, I never thought that rose will be the note that I will lean towards to and I was introduced to perfumes as young as 10 I think because of my dad and uncles. It has always been citrus freshies until I was able to smell Guerlain's Absolus Allegoria Rose Amira, then Frederic Malle's Portrait of a Lady, MFK's Oud Satin Mood, then Guerlain's L'Art & La Matière Rose Barbare and these does not smell like the rose perfume that my grandma once wore.

After that I've been on a hunt for a few years especially that I got addicted to the profile of Rose Amira and POAL, but found them too dense for my taste, and there were other rose leaning perfumes I've gone through like Le Labo Rose 31, Diptyque Eau Rose, Diptyque Eau Capitale, Gris Dior, Dior Oud Rosewood, Initio Atomic Rose (etc etc). So far I'm loving these 3 and they smell different and don't overlap each other.

Moschino Toy Boy - freshly cut juicy rose, a bit polarizing but I like it. Creativity is bordering niche IMHO.

Chopard Rose Malaki - woody, leathery (because of the saffron), spicy jammy rose. This is sophisticated but give bad boy vibes. Chopard is very much under rated, I also have their Oud Malaki which was the inspiration of Penhaligon's Mr. Sam/Halfeti. Quality is also quite high.

Van Cleef and Arpels Moonlight Rose - I thought that Diptyque Eau Capitale will be my last purchase until I've smelled this. This is a bit more dense than Eau Capitale without the smokiness of POAL, I think of it as more wearable POAL. It was an immediate purchase w/ a back-up bottle.

Kinda bummed that my order of Dunhill Egyptian Smoke got lost somewhere by the courier, I was credited back but now I'm unsure if I'll repurchase. I'd probably get a bottle of Rose Barbare in the future but I've heard its going to get discontinued. I'll just enjoy these for the time being.

>!That was some good ass Tekken!<

In hindsight, there are still a lot for me to practice to be more effective and efficient:

• I need to be mindful of her 2,3 punish more
• I need to add uf+3 to my arsenal, up until now I still can't time it so I rarely use it
• Abuse f+4 more

BTW I did not intend to chi charge, that was a miss-press of my RA haha.
