I'm not gonna play much Bob so I thought I would gift this to those of you who will. Good luck to you and your Fellowship on your impossible mission to GoD♾️!

Quick notes on the character:

Super fun to play, seems in his core gameplan the same as Tekken 7 with the addition of course of the Tekken 8 stance gameplay and his heat, which for now seems super strong but not completely overwhelming like Kuni. B3+4 is the most ridiculous mid I've ever seen since a long time: super long range, safe, wall splat, pushback, does everything for the character. Overall a very solid toolset of great poking mids like B2, df1 and extensions, DB3, ss1+2 with Mishima wave dash and pressure. Insane punishment but lacks a 15f standing launcher unfortunately, tracking is good but lacks a good homing and approaching sometimes on stepping opponents can become hard. Overall nice experience for now!

As the title says, I am in need of some advice/help. While I do understand and have a general game plan for my neutral, I'd like to refine it and make it feel more solid. For context, I've been a Jin main since the launch of t8 and he isn't as poke heavy (in my playstyle) compared to kunimitsu. Although I have played her in t7, I didn't really main her then as Julia was my favorite. So wrapping back, I need help with improving my neutral game plan with kunimitsu. Ty in advance 🤝

The wedding dress and Nina's short bob haircut, I think it's the perfect combination

I've been having a pretty rough go at ranked lately. I guess you could say I feel stuck again. This Lidia came at me fiercely and terrorized me for 2 whole rounds before something snapped and I pulled out a comeback! I couldn't believe it and I'm still hyped from the moment! I solemnly swear from today forward that I will not give up no matter the odds against me!

this has absolutely no practical application lmao i was just fuckin around

Just a little bit of foreword:

Tekken 8 has been my first entry into taking FGs seriously. Before that I only messed around on cabinets, spamming buttons against characters I didn't know. I decided to pick up Lidia because of how unique she felt: I'd played Lidia on a cabinet when I went to Japan and had fun, especially since I had a background in karate. So when I decided to finally pick up 8 during Season 2 it was obvious who to play.

I couldn't bring myself to really stop playing Lidia, mostly because I believed that I needed "a few hours" playing her before I moved onto a different character. It kinda devolved into only playing her non-stop.

Anyways, after the first few matches I decided to take it seriously: I joined Lidiacord, watched YouTubers like Sesujin, and kinda just obsessed about Lidia to the point that I did not learn any other character.

Turns out if you only learn one character you'll lose a lot (check that win rate out)! So eventually around Red I labbed a few characters I frequently saw—Mishimas, Steve, Law and the like. I looked at my replays to see what were the common moves, learned the counters, that was it. Granted I barely practiced, but eventually I got to Purple which is where I hung around for the majority of my hours, finally hitting Blue a few months ago.

I'd really like to blame lag for how bad my games were, which would be half-true. I could literally play against my neighbor and still have over 100 ping (I play on a laptop so I did test other places, all of them have the same results). It really frustrated me being unable to execute combos, fuzzy duck, or even just block after a jab. There was even one time that I raged so hard on a Fahkumram (which I fought for the first time) with McDonald's WiFi that I sprained my ankle.

I also despise how big the file size is. I had to make space for it and it really pushed my drive to its limits, even with mods to shrink it.

And the matchmaking, god. It takes me anywhere between 10 seconds to 10 minutes to find one game and some of them aren't even in the same continent. It's a cycle of no players, queue up laggy players, lose, repeat.

I'm not entirely sure but I'm pretty sure online matches are the reason I can't progress: I've gotten into a few local tournaments since and I've done well (or at least that's what the GoD+ players in my area say with fair criticism) so I'm quite convinced that if I had decent matchmaking I would actually improve rather than needing to QTE and predict hellsweeps.

Overall I really recommend casual players play Tekken 8, but getting seriously into it requires hours and years off your life. Anyways, Harada fix matchmaking please I've been queueing against the same five people 2,000 miles away

i know his attacks how deal with them but when i see shits like that i get crazy, why a giant character has so much damage tools mobility and TRACKING

I managed to add Master Raven. @jirranartist on Instagram if you'd like to follow.

I did a fanart of most of the black characters. I couldn't fit master raven or tiger Jackson in.
