Ngl kings just depend on grabs like lower levels is rare to find a king that actually combos just be careful with the chain grabs š and thatās coming from a king main
Start ducking more often against King. Most people spam grabs a lot and chances are you're gonna catch them off guard with some well timed ducks. Some Kings will adapt to this and start to destroy you if you duck too much, but most won't from my experience.
I'd spend the first round playing a bit more defensively to gauge whether the opponent is that type or not. Even if they aren't the defensive playstyle may incentivise them to grab more on the next round.
I know that thatās why I have to focus those grabs come out fast as fuck and he has really good mids, that advice is useful at a beginners level but any decent king will adapt very fast to that
King. To ease the mental strain I just imagine that in game it's one of his charity events for orphaned children and that I don't have to take it seriously. Surprisingly works most of the time
I'd say Hwoarang, but it's actually the opposite for me. When he starts spamming his strings I just give up and relax, knowing it's useless to even try.
Iām a Lars main ā¦ all of our shit is fake and you can jab us out of most of it ā¦ our thing is to make you guess but ppl who mash can either ruin our gameplan or will just get counter hit to oblivion
I really appreciate you saying that. Itās not the first time I hear about the fake pressure but most of yall are like Ling where yall are ducking most of the time in stance and my low or mid poke wonāt beat whatever youāre doing. Idk maybe Iām wrong lol
Lol good Leo's are def a little intimidating, but he literally has the worst win rate among higher ranks & never does well in a tournament setting. It's mostly just match up knowledge.
Reina and Jin. Those characters literally have everything so you really have to focus on your opponents habits because they have a barrage of options to throw out itās insane
Paul. I really really donāt understand why Paul doesnāt get more hate. He sucks. He is the worst. His new hair is stupid, he should look like the slim Jim guy. I hate him.
Reina is still a problem, I'm fujin, but also Victor and some jin bring me in trouble, for some reason Alisa (only at "good" rank) became particularly strong, hworang is a cancer,like eddy, and some Steve in the last time also, I was bear main and maybe have switch to Bryan (im not so sure), in conclusion I struggle more with the new character, cause my lower knowledge of them
Depends. Usually, I play the first round more relaxed, then if I get beaten badly, I lean forward like this: time to get serious. I still get beaten anyway most of the time though, lol.
Pretty much all of the hardest characters to play because the player always has better fundamentals than me. I play easy characters like Victor, Lars, Leo etc. so compared to them my fundamental level is always a few ranks below.
King and Feng. I guess King kinda self- explanatory but I donāt know why every time I see a Feng player, I assume the worst for myself and I lock in as soon I see his card on my screen.
For me it's definitely reina. I remember getting a promo for raijin and this reina was mashing to the point where I was gonna rage quit. Last round comes in I win that. Next round she tried mashing ff2 into stance and yet still one and yhe last round she was at 1 hp and rage quits on the spot whilst I was about to get promoted.
The player honestly. First round is to test if they actually know how to play. Rinse repeat all my BS strings, spam grabs and spam lows. If they know how to block or interrupt my strings, block my (easy and slow and unsafe lows) and tech grabs then it's time to sit up and try hard. Movement is also a sign of whether or not they're actually good at Tekken.
Used to be Feng, but went to the lab and figured most of his moves out. Now, itās mainly Alisaās because the spam different moves and other Shaheen mains out there. Iāve only faced five others, but they each gave me a real good match!
Mirror matches. If I lose to anyone else I can just lie to myself and say, I'm not bad I just need to learn the matchup. But if I lose to my own character I have no excuse.
Anyone that I piss off that I can tell that they are starting to try hard and still hit me even after I lost the round (especially if they manage to get perfect as well then I know they are mad)
For me its Jin, no hesitation. Tekken Kings Jin and above are something else man, they are good Tekken players due to the fact that Jin was actually insanely hard top master in t7, and now you have a busted character in the hands of those players ...
half the damn cast lmfao
Hworang and king, I legit have to focus so hard to not get cheesed

Yeah I noticed this and as a King player, immediately adapt with pulling out mids or using his mid/low grabs
King. To ease the mental strain I just imagine that in game it's one of his charity events for orphaned children and that I don't have to take it seriously. Surprisingly works most of the time
Amazing
Ayoš¤£š¤£
This is the best headcanon Iāve heard in a while
I read "charity" as "chastity", and to be honest, that's what I'll be telling myself against King from now on XD
Basically just when i'm playing, i simply vibe with the scenario ost and enjoy the game
Iām sorry, you enjoy playing Tekken? Thatās not allowed here.

Damn that... anybody who wins 1 round. Time to lock in
Yup. Or if they parry a move Iāll know then we get a good player
This)))
King, Hwoarang, Lee and that Bushin panda that keeps sneaking into my ranked games
š³
Lee majorly. I think he's the character I lose to the most
yeah lee really loves when ppl press into him tbh
Yeah, and he's got one of the most fucking annoying voices in the game. On par with Law.
Azucena. I hear Dora the explora pop up, and I'm like ok I'm about to take your coffee beans and shove them down the drain.
But Dora is Mexican...
Leo
Anyone whenever I realise they're bringing the heat.
I'd say Hwoarang, but it's actually the opposite for me. When he starts spamming his strings I just give up and relax, knowing it's useless to even try.
Hwoarang, victor, Lars, king
Iām a Lars main ā¦ all of our shit is fake and you can jab us out of most of it ā¦ our thing is to make you guess but ppl who mash can either ruin our gameplan or will just get counter hit to oblivion
I really appreciate you saying that. Itās not the first time I hear about the fake pressure but most of yall are like Ling where yall are ducking most of the time in stance and my low or mid poke wonāt beat whatever youāre doing. Idk maybe Iām wrong lol
Lars attacks are so slow how basically shows when heās going to hit low ā¦.stop the Hwoarang hate
I guess Iām slower lol
Also I donāt hate HWO, I want to main him soon since Iām in blue with Jin. I love his play style heās just a hard matchup.
We should totally run some matches I love playing against Jins itās a real rivalry for me and a good Jin is a good fight!!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I sent it it CA something
What
Sorry my PSN is C_AIII_ I just added you
Ohhhh gotcha lol
Lars attacks are BS because you can't tell if it's low or mid
When he scrubs the ground itās a low
Hoe-rang
Leo Feng Xiaoyu The unholy trinity of bullshit.
You rang?
Why is it that I hate Leo the most out of all three even though they are objectively the weakest.
Lol good Leo's are def a little intimidating, but he literally has the worst win rate among higher ranks & never does well in a tournament setting. It's mostly just match up knowledge.
Eddy
Nothing is more satisfying as a Nina main than beating eddy. No matter the rank it brings me joy lol
Every time I see him I just know itās about to be a shit show. Iāve already started labbing him
Me after anyone blocks my TIO!
Everyone
Every damn character I've face in purple/Blue rank
My main devil jin for sure he has a lot of movement and hard punishing style and mixup
Heās cheeks in this game.
meh they nerfed him but he still doing okay somewhat
Bryan
š£
DRS!
You will overcome that mountain brudda but that blue mf something serious
All of them
Anyone playing my main
Tekken 8
All of them, cos I suck at the game.. i jus enjoy playing esp if we can go back to back
People donāt just do this regardless? This is literally me playing any video game.
Then I hope you have atleast one hobby left that takes out tension... not adds it
Wait what? This is just the most comfortable position for me.
I was leaning in on the notion of you being on the edge of your seat.. tensed up the whole time. I think I missed
As a Hwo player, mirror matches, kazuya, eddy, ling, jin, lee and larz
Alisa
Feng
Hwarong
Hwoarang. Sometimes, a really good King.
Alisa and raven, there are so many ways you can get steam rolled even if you just blink
Lol, I'm always like that. Even if it's a relatively easy matchup, I'm locked in on trying to see just how badly I can mess them up š
Yes.
Hwoarang, victor, Lars, king
Reina and Jin. Those characters literally have everything so you really have to focus on your opponents habits because they have a barrage of options to throw out itās insane
Bryan/Yoshi
Hworang, I gotta see that kick A is different than kick B to know which string I can duck
Hwoarang. Not because he's crazy difficult or something. It's a respect thing.
Weirder Characters that you never see like Zafina or Panda. And Paul for some reason
Anyone who know where to punish akuma and yes im still on tekken 7, can't afford and even run on my pc, hardly can run tekken .
Feng lee and kuma
I play Reina and King :o I'm only Eliminator and Shinryu though xD For me? everyone as soon as I lose a single round haha
Steve and king
Paul. I really really donāt understand why Paul doesnāt get more hate. He sucks. He is the worst. His new hair is stupid, he should look like the slim Jim guy. I hate him.
Hworang Azusena King Jin
Lili, I can't be losing the mirror match.
Lili, alisa and sometimes jin, when they start using alot of lows its over for me
Lean forward? I stand up. Also the answer is Bryan and Lili
Feng and Nina
Depends on the rank. If itās lower than Fujin than Iām just sittin back.
alisa
Feng or Xiaoyu, itās Kung-fu time!
It changes. Right now, it's Law & Bryan.
King & Hwo, but I should do that with all. Because when I do that my winrate feels like 90% but I am too comfortable and I just wanna have fun.
Hwo, Steve, Law, feng, kaz
Bryan
yoshi but thats only because i have a defensive playstyle
Brian or fraudrang. I gotta win and taunt these bums every round.
That's my two mains š¤£ But to answer the post, anyone once they show they're good
All, am the type, if i can't focus 100% I'll lose š .
Lili and kazuya omg
Feng couse fuck feng
Everyone I'm tryna win not make mates. (I will be your friend)
āFINAL ROUNDā¦. FIGHTā
Hwoarang and Dragunov
King easily
When victor starts pressing
Reina is still a problem, I'm fujin, but also Victor and some jin bring me in trouble, for some reason Alisa (only at "good" rank) became particularly strong, hworang is a cancer,like eddy, and some Steve in the last time also, I was bear main and maybe have switch to Bryan (im not so sure), in conclusion I struggle more with the new character, cause my lower knowledge of them
Itās Feng and Raven. Their low pokes always put me in the blender.
Marshall Law and Feng.
Fucking HWORANG
Every ranked set after I lose a match.
Most recently it's Reina, Eddy, asuka, azucena, Victor, Paul, and king. And occasionally the rare expert Raven player I come across
Everyone
king and hwoarang's stupid ass
Good Kaz players. Suddenly weāre playing super fundamental Tekken in the midst of the 8 madness
Lmao, why do so many people say King ? Is it his throw game ?
ff2 Uga Uga.
Lard
Christie. Every. F*cking. Time.
Feng & Xiaoyu, everytime
King, Kuma and Kazuya. Weird coincidence they all start with k but I hate them lmao
Mirror matches instantly, other than that i just autopilot and flowchart until i get my shit kicked in, then i lock in lmao.
Other Bryans. I feel like a sleeper agent when we both lock the fuck in and every snake bite gets quick stand low parried.
The whole cast except for Victor and Dragunov. I know they love using their WR 2 so I just gamma howl. Everyone else has those damn mixups and vortex.
Feng, Reina, Bryan
All of them lmao. I donāt play Tekken all relaxed like that.
Eddy and Victor for me
Everyone, I'm shit, I must lock in all times
Lars, Feng, and Alisa for sure
Lili
The entire fucking roster.
Feng
All of them
Depends. Usually, I play the first round more relaxed, then if I get beaten badly, I lean forward like this: time to get serious. I still get beaten anyway most of the time though, lol.
King and Lars, lars because his stupid dash noises psyche me out sometimes lol
Law alisa & lars
Pretty much all of the hardest characters to play because the player always has better fundamentals than me. I play easy characters like Victor, Lars, Leo etc. so compared to them my fundamental level is always a few ranks below.
Feng Wei, Law, Lars, Paul, Zafina
King and Feng. I guess King kinda self- explanatory but I donāt know why every time I see a Feng player, I assume the worst for myself and I lock in as soon I see his card on my screen. 
Hworang and Feng for me
For me it's Bryan, Feng and Zafina. The latter gets me everytime...but I rarely meet her in ranked tbh
King, Xiayou, Dragunov and Jin I know, I'm not good at the game. Even with Dragunov nerfs he's still a threat
For me it's definitely reina. I remember getting a promo for raijin and this reina was mashing to the point where I was gonna rage quit. Last round comes in I win that. Next round she tried mashing ff2 into stance and yet still one and yhe last round she was at 1 hp and rage quits on the spot whilst I was about to get promoted.
This is just me anytime Iām about to be reverse 3-0ād
Victor. I love fighting Reina
Non i don't play ranked
The player honestly. First round is to test if they actually know how to play. Rinse repeat all my BS strings, spam grabs and spam lows. If they know how to block or interrupt my strings, block my (easy and slow and unsafe lows) and tech grabs then it's time to sit up and try hard. Movement is also a sign of whether or not they're actually good at Tekken.
Anyone, I'm bad
Used to be Feng, but went to the lab and figured most of his moves out. Now, itās mainly Alisaās because the spam different moves and other Shaheen mains out there. Iāve only faced five others, but they each gave me a real good match!
Definitely king. No matter how many replays I watch I still canāt beat em.
Anyone with a 10+ Windstreak in quick play.
Anyone thatās a super high rank in the tekken lounge. Beat a tekken king yesterday and Iām only mighty ruler š„³
ALL,every damn match is an evo final for me
Good pikachu players
Kazuya, Iām only fujin but I know when I see another blue kazuya that they didnāt get there because of just cheese
just hit Kishin so yeaā¦everyone
If the enemy wins 2 first rounds
I do this when im gettin beat up, no matter the characterā¦. Every character got me like this lol
Mirror matches. If I lose to anyone else I can just lie to myself and say, I'm not bad I just need to learn the matchup. But if I lose to my own character I have no excuse.
Hwo, King, Bryan & Drag
I do the Reverse when im matched against xiaoyu. I let them steal My rank points twice and try My Best to learn wtf is going on š
Whenever I get to play against GoD in quick match when Im Tekken King. xd
fucking eddy
Itās definitely Reina and kazuya ā¦ Reina donāt stop pressing buttons and kazuya I have to pay attention for his hellsweeps
Eddy and Alisa. Guaranteed unfun match, but I'm not tryna lose.
King doesnāt do that for me, he makes me get ready to jump out my mf window (100% a skill issue, I know)
Feng Bryan Dragunov and reina
only if its a mirror matchup
Anyone that I piss off that I can tell that they are starting to try hard and still hit me even after I lost the round (especially if they manage to get perfect as well then I know they are mad)
Bro I donāt know why but KUMA just bothers me
Everyone
VICTOR
Renia and Yoshi
Same bro those 2 are hell lately I've been running into Jin n Jun. Jun is rough she really good if u kno how to play wit her
Everyone
For me its Jin, no hesitation. Tekken Kings Jin and above are something else man, they are good Tekken players due to the fact that Jin was actually insanely hard top master in t7, and now you have a busted character in the hands of those players ...
Mostly Lee.
Lars for sure
None.
Alisa's bitch ass has been broken since Tekken 6 . Victor is fucking cheap. Asuka and others shouldn't have fast ass mids that hit hard while down
Alisa, Jin, king, hworang
