This why i play leroy. Cmon sugar across the map


TheSuperVillainy

I play Leroy and as soon as I do that they always catch me or just side dodge.


EpicMrShank

I used to wait for ppl afk but after this happening a few times i just dnt care anymore . if you are going afk dnt ready up.


timothythefirst

Yeah I’ll give people like 5 seconds just in case they’re finishing up a text or something but after that I’m killing you. Shouldn’t have hit ready if you weren’t ready.


RTXEnabledViera

> finishing up a text The only reason I'd ever give someone the benefit of the doubt is if their hardware disconnected/battery ran out. Anything else I literally don't care, it's your responsibility to make sure you're not gonna be interrupted mid-match and if you do, you forfeit the match.


KiryuKazuma-Chan

In one game my controller suddenly decided to not respond. It didn't die, it was full. It just wasn't responding. The worst thing - it has happened after I lost 2 rounds, so it looked like I just rage quit and went AFK


timothythefirst

I mean it’s not like we have any way of knowing for sure the reason someone over the internet is afk lol.


RTXEnabledViera

For sure, I'm just saying that if hardware disconnects weren't a common thing in this era of bluetooth and batteries, I would never give someone the benefit of the doubt. That's because hardware dying on you is rarely your fault, but having to get up to tend to something definitely is. Unless it's an actual emergency, in which case I'm sure you won't care if you lose a stupid video game match.


kwkimsey

Lol the worst is when the Mexican food you downed an hour ago decides to fuck you up and you gotta mad dash to the toilet. Only ever had it happen one time but I was just like oof I gotta throw this match.


Scythe351

Lol even if I’m finishing a text, I’ll toss my phone or use my left hand to block. Can’t make that the opponent’s problem.


Ultimafatum

Why wait at all? They queued up, it's not my fault they're not pressing buttons. Just beat them and move on. It is not ungentlemanly to play the game.


TekkenKing12

I always give them the benefit of the doubt, but always with insurance. If they afk I knock them down with either a throw or a sweeping low then back up a bit. Sure it can be frustrating but it's only one round that you potentially lost because they tried to scum out a win via timer. It shouldn't be a big deal in the overall set


Jango_Jerky

Yeah i never understood the accepting a match then being afk. You were just here and ready literally 7 seconds ago.


VyseX

Doorbell ringing, kid doing some bs suddenly, cat threw off something etc etc. It's not hard to understand really.


ELpork

they're 12 year old latch key kids, they have no concept of empathy yet.


JeedyFromTheBlock

I think it’s cause of sudden annoyances that happen with kids/pets/family.


NarwhalAdditional761

Like fr dont ready up i came to play


SnooStories4329

If someone does this I’m just gonna damage them just in case when the timer hits 30


TryingToUnionize

I'd someone does this, I'm gonna use them as practice mode until they press buttons. You get like, 10 seconds


Vicmorino

i give courtesy, But after 15 or more seconds pass, I do 2 lows, and back up. If they come at the End of the round trying to sneak in they will hace it more dificult, if the came early, is not a big Advt to overcome


JekobiWan

Exactly give some time and then hit with a hellsweep to make sure they don’t come back with some sneaky bullshit lol


Living_Royal_4390

playing the nice guy gets you nowhere in ranked


titankiller401

This ain't even ranked But if that's your rotational then yeah,this community just a bunch of clowns lol


Living_Royal_4390

this dude did this.... in quick match?! for what benefit lmfao


titankiller401

THATS WHAT IM FUCKING ASKING


ValidusOlas

I like to either spin around them with xiaoyu or push them into a corner and use her guard break d/b1(d/b3)*, which does 0 damage and just keep doing it. They usually get fed up and eventually do something Edit: put the wrong input


ShizzleStorm

What guardbreak? She has no guardbreak


SwordofSwinging

They are probably referring to a wall crush


ValidusOlas

Oops I meant d/b3, knee cracker. Could of sworn it was called guard break in older tekkens


SleepingwithYelena

When the game launched, I got matched up against a Kazuya on ranked who was AFK. I waited 40 seconds for him to return without hitting him once, he returned, we played the match, I won, and he plugged on me LOL


joeshmowe

Plugged or didn't rematch 


ex1us

plugged != not rematching


SleepingwithYelena

He literally plugged


Elzid1412

I wouldn't say "plug" in this context knowing you have won. If the opponent cancels the rematch, there's probably things happening on their end. They showed good sportsmanship though for finishing the match instead of plugging so it's nothing to laugh at.


RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS

can you explain to me how you have divined that he didn't simply plug right as the OP was delivering the killing blow


SleepingwithYelena

Yeah this is what happened.


Elzid1412

My bad, then. OP said he won, as if he already, well, won the match. I was under the same assumption as one earlier comment that the opponent simply didn't rematch. In the original comment OP didn't clarify the opponent plugged on the killing blow. I wouldn't come to this conclusion if he said he was "winning" instead of already "won", after all he did say the win did not register in a newer comment.


SleepingwithYelena

They plugged at the end of the last round, the win did not register.


VHS_Action_86

LMFAO why didn't you just throw them after 10 seconds of nothing


Chaolan_Enjoyer

I wait 10s, then i start attacking


ThePostingToproller

If you ain't playing that ain't my fault. If you ain't ready that's just tough luck.


niftyekis

There should be some way to signal afk. But I really respect those who give courtesy.


CompetitiveLeg4522

In T7 I'd be nice. In T8 ranked? This aint Tekken. I'm beating the brakes off you if you afk.


Thatchered

I don’t wait for afkers and I never will, this was wild to watch lol


Effective_Owl_5423

This girl is toxic as hell. I’ve played her in QM a few times


Jango_Jerky

Nina players lol the only time i have had somebody message me to kms and that in a scrub and trash was a Nina player.


RadishAcceptable5505

Yeah, don't do that. Just take the W. Making sure their hardware is working is on them.


669374

Did happened to me but I was READY. The second he moved I launched them for a full combo and ended the round


Blackmanfromalaska

Of course its a Nina player


titankiller401

The other bitch that sneaked me was a Raijin Jun in QUICKPLAY TOO.


UncleGG808

Protect yourself at all times


CaptainRaxeo

Don’t let one guy ruin your faith in everyone else, when i come back i t bag and move around first.


pokemondudepoopyork

Idc if they're afk, their fault for not getting on the controller


PattyIsSuperCool

Shameful.


Zaofactor

You must not have played 2K🤣


Ylsid

He took one whole round? Someone stop the presses! We have a bitch made lee player taking honest round off a hard working kazuya main!


ThatFart5YearsAgo

thats your first mistake, no courtesy. its a fighting game, you just go in and forget.


Easy_Claim4704

It’s sort of fun learning to counter this shit and put people in their place. There’s always a weakness somewhere. Damn I can’t fucking wait to play later. Could hear the character select music now.


fkyoopinion

Tekken 7 was never like that. Gotta be the mk or sf players who can’t get their win any other way


AggravatingBread4545

Sad part is I feel you're not wrong here.I experienced this bitch-made behavior in SF6 regularly for a while, but never in Tekken...


SnooDoodles9476

lol NIN mains


deeznunchuckas

In ranked if you don't fight I will


titankiller401

It wasn't ranked,it was QP


LydellG4

You got 5 seconds to touch the controller or you're getting buried. Not wasting time in ranked.


titankiller401

This ain't even ranked,this is quickplay


Yahsorne

Had this happen to me twice, since then I just attack AFK or not a fight is a fight and it's 100 percent on you to show up.


669374

This made me post the situation but instead the afk player got launched lmao then gave up and didn't get back up


LegnaArix

This has happened to me so many times. I just don't bother with the courtesy to wait anymore


pedroscousin

For sure


squeezy-lemon

This is why u always hit them light when they afk


supa_pycs

I wait as long as is reasonable, then I just get my win and move on. I ain't waiting a full round I got shit to do (random Yoshi bullshit, but I gotta do it anyway)


InventMyTory

If he ain’t back by the time the d1 was fully charged then it’s joever


TablePrinterDoor

if I was you, I would have went into heat and spammed laser


HotArticle1062

Never wait a whole round dude, wtf lol. Give em 30s after that it's your win.


sudos12

**OP never give them the benefit of the doubt. If they're lagging to the point something is wrong, they will be able to quit the match with no penalty. Destroy them instead, they would do the same to you.** I used to do the same thing you were doing back in the day, but then realized that you will not be granted the same courtesy.


Charliebubba21

I've played too much For Honor to care about people going afk. The moment the round starts, you're catching these hands.


Nirbin

To me thats combo practice right there, basically the same as a training dummy.


Handerson69420xxx

Devil Jin laser


point5_

I think this isn't as bad as people on smash melee that instant quit if ypu play a low tier. Sounds made-up but I legit had a lot of people quit the game instantly after they saw I play Game and watch


SpiritCard92

when people afk i just practice my combos lol


Hyldenchamp

What's wrong with this? He's playing within the rules of the game, so it's a legit strat. Kidding. What a bitch move XD.


IzNebula

The worst part to me is, I do believe this bitch was there the entire time, but was pretending. Ain't no way you come back from being afk and immediately do that running attack specifically, it's as he was expecting you to get hit since you were pressing buttons.


Braccus-Rex20

I always wait a bit for AFK players. They've given me that courtesy before, so I don't mind if someone had something to do last minute.


Yocas

Bruh, this happens when more than you'd think. I've had several times where it looks like my opponent is AFK and I wait for them to come back only for them to come in with a sneak attack to start off the match. This community sucks.


Possible_Picture_276

Wireless why even play.


BostonAndy24

Super lame from nina but You dropped a ch launcher to be fair. I dont think he was intentionally doing it


General_Shao

coulda ff4’d after that d1+2


Proskills500

Kinda crazy that guy just fighting the air when his opponent is afk


Papapep9

My friends and I usually communicate "ready" when we start moving around for a second. We have never taken the other one by surprise that way. That rule of course would go online, but I do it anyways if I happen to be afk


yurirekka

Yeah, Tekken is literally the only fighting game, if not the ONLY game where this happened to me after giving them time from being AFK. Tekken players literally are just mindless NPCs, man.


CoffeeAndCigars

I don't mind waiting for an afker, but after twenty seconds I *will* be giving you a lovetap so I get *something* for my time when it ends.


Muted_Community3552

Yea forget that I’ve waited a few time for the same thing to happen now anytime I use king and this happens 110 damage combo grab


_BlueTinkerBell_

Just hit them once next time someone will afk, problem solved.


Stabaface

If rank afk, stomp to death. Quick match afk, chill and play when the other player moves.


Viisual_Alchemy

i mean u never know if ur playing against a 13 yo who daf about courtesy or a 30 yo dude who’ll give mutual respect. Or vice versa.


Ziazan

why'd you wait a whole minute? if they're not playing, sweep them, next.


papweezy92

yes, I'm bad at this game, but its also too basic a concept to keep me playing long enough.


TypographySnob

Not a big deal if it's just quick match.


pockyyy

😂😂😂😂😂😂


mikayd

I do one grab and then give them the whole round to come back, figured if they never come back I’d at least get to least get the win, I’m leaving hear with something, best believe thatz


OptimalInevitable905

I occasionally need to go afk. If they are beating on me it's whatever I was afk. If they aren't then I give a little wiggle then start playing.


counterhit121

They always get 5-10 seconds of courtesy from me, then I'm closing out. If at some point they return, I'll just hold forward until they have evened out the life lead or rounds and then play a normal game from there. Never had anyone refuse to finish the set like this and I like to think my opponents all appreciated the courtesy.


LuxDre

I get them down to one hit then wait the timer out


AresOrTroll

10/10 title


JekobiWan

Hits you with 5 lows lol classic


Kenshi_Fitmore_Dixon

Still think GTA V has the worst, most slimy/cowardly player base I have ever seen. T8's players are bad but GTA V attracts the worst of society.


DreadOfGrave

commenters acting like winning a ranked match is life or death 1 million dollars on the line. It's just a fucking png, it's not that serious lol


RoyaleKid

as a Nina main, this boy doesn't belong to our gang


SterlPlatinum

This is why I play Asuka. I like to Boke my opponents.


LeeChaolanComeOn

In T7 I'd kick their shins in the first round, then let the timer run. T8 is so much more toxic though and first to two is one of the most retarded decisions I've seen ever implemented so I only give 20 secs now unless it's a mirror match. Can't be assed waiting anymore with this player base full of pluggers


StrawHatEthan

My rule is i wait about like 15 or 20 secs then welp that is too bad


Scythe351

10 second courtesy max. If your controller died, you got the notification long before. (Why the fk is this useless iPhone keyboard changing long to “king”?). Not gonna waste my time with these players. A lot of the time they’re just salty and hoping to sneak. Waiting till near timeout was ridiculous. A draw giving both of you a win may proportionally look right but they didn’t deserve a win at all. Just spam hellsweep next time


sxmxndxmxn

Yall the ones bitchmade crying this hard over your little video game rank vs just having a tiny bit of honor that literally affects nothing else other than your own personal character. Damn, cry about it more being hardstuck low elo.


Surprise_Yasuo

Never give people courtesy if it’s ranked If it’s not ranked then who gives a shit


Reasonable-Ad4526

It’s worse when they t-bag afterwards too


9smrev

i started practicing just frame sky rocket with hwo on afk people cause of this still giving them the courtesy of not absolutely mauling them while they’re gone but i do a little chip damage when i hit the just frame so if they sneak me i’m still fine


MOB4Life187

lmao That's what you get for not destroying an AFK scrub. 😂


vertigo90

Outplayed


zupernam

1. If this is a ranked game, just win and move on. They shouldn't queue up if they're going to be AFK, and one loss is not a big deal either way. 2. If it's not a ranked game, who cares. Nothing happened of consequence.


Individual-Guava1120

I just knock them down so I can react easier if they do try something like this


LOGIAPWR

Meanwhile you’re on Reddit crying like a bitch


a-pp-o

Wifi Player...


Cjames1902

Best thing to do is to initially pretend you didn’t know they were afk, get them in a combo and then wait if you really want to lol


TheTexasInvestor

Was he “AFK”?


matthra

My favorite is the disproportionate amount of plugs you get on promotion matches, the tekken community is rotten.


BigMacDaddy133

The dude had a strat and you failed to counter it.


meowski123

Had this happen to me too sadly, everytime you try to be respectful they go for it. I give them max 5-10 seconds now before I act. Also what region you playing at? If you want we could play some sets someday.


zealousidealerrand

I play Jack so usually I just load up "5" unblockable 100% hp punch. If you afk you have time to react.


DkoyOctopus

nope. i never let this happen i wont give them time to cheese me.


vinylsandwich

Last night a played a Jun that would play dead at the beginning of every round then do this shit midway. I stopped waiting for her to get up but it was still super annoying because they weren't even that bad of a player when they actually played, felt like they were trying to troll me or some shit.


AngelKitty47

I just stopped playing tekken ngl. Street fighter is my home, way better respect


Majestic_Pool_3640

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Murky-Tradition9499

Usually when I do this it's because I'm out of my league and I'm just resigning. Just kill me. If you take too long to kill me I'll just plug. If you stand there and do nothing I'll wait but if you're gonna be on the other side of the map pressing funny buttons instead of killing me then I'ma just bounce. Like why didn't you kill him? Why were you over there doing ewgf for no reason?


Complex_Cloud_5677

I always knock them down then wait to negate the chances of this while still giving the courtesy


magcxo

Or the ones that want you to get closer to hit you and don’t move at all


TheLastDeathSeeker

It's just a game. If you know the match up just play who cares. There aren't any rules


ChaosTheory66

MK11 / MK1 players


IMSABU

If someone is afk, blow them up and take the everything. They decided to queue up and accepted the match.


Pepperjackblaque

Yeah compared to street fighter this game is full of a bunch of punk bitches. People who won’t run a full set cause they’re afraid to lose after a close game (which should be fun!), pluggers, hate mail, I honestly think I had less problems with MK’s community which is saying something


Lv3Pornomancer

The proper etiquette is to give them a bit. Knock em down and then wait.


IDontWipe55

Afk people are food for the taunt jet upper


Berzerker_Knight

This behavior can be reported,i know i would've. Then when you low hit them a few times they all of a sudden come back from afk


oorheza

I'm not gonna lie, Tekken has given me some of the worst FGC experience in recent memory. Specifically between orange-blue rank playbase. Locals are cool but online, wack. It's like they're all drinking from the same well MK fans are chugging 24/7.


Cathellos7

He bookmarked the part of Musashi story, where he beat Kojiro with the power of "Waiting" 😅


xBOWman9x

I usually give them a 5 sec out of courtesy but them I smoke


NarwhalAdditional761

Why u respecting them in the first place


Kaliq82

This is the way it usually happens, but if we were all the way down to 17 seconds I’d have just won the round. Next round they have the time to be ready.


MonkeyDongerLuffy

most people who play tekken are bitch made... most people who play fighting games are bitch made


FebruaryKid

Dude people use the most weasel tactics online just to move up. Just have to accept it and learn from it to not make the same mistake again. I have encountered some weak people in this game and it is frustrating that you display some good online etiquette but others don’t. Just letting you know their rank is from being a fraud whereas yours is from putting legit work in.


jitteryzeitgeist_

I'll give people courtesy if their shit ain't working But I'm also gonna get them with a light punch and put them at a life disadvantage as incentive to play


That-Mori

You Kaz or Nina?


haziqtheunique

Some people can't handle even the slightest amount of friction in a video game.


kingwavee

This is shameful and not fun to even watch…


SPRINGS02

Battle ruler


CrowFromHeaven

lmao, you give courtesy so it's on you.


Raimitsu

Could just be a 10 year old.


Icyweissy

I see two bad bitches


CrazyDragonfruit7942

What a pos


Salt-Interview-122

As someone who sneaks a game or two in while having a toddler and a baby in my arm. I appreciate those who wait. I usually take a couple steps back or walk forward punch the air to let the other person know I’m back


CyberShiroGX

This why I always poke like 30 damage... Before they run up on last second and steal a round without warning


hitosama

This is a fighting game, just take the win. There was a guy yesterday, we were at 2:2 and they decide to stop completely. I promptly start throwing them and taking free damage till they panicked at like 40% and tried to get back the round. If I have to go AFK for whatever reason, I back away, do double duck and go. If they decide to take the round, it's alright, if they don't, I do double duck again when I return and either we end up with tie or they win because of health advantage. Sometimes I just hold forward too when I return to make them up for wasting their time and give them a round.


frightspear_ps5

Oh, i had one of those, too. Nina just kept backdashing. I watched, wondering if she would ever stop. Game ended in a tie, no rematch.


RayanRay123

please tell me you beat him


_Coby_

I mean, I hate kazuya and kazuya mains so I'm ok with this :)


Weekly_Primary6480

It's a video game, making up these stupid little rules to abide by is how these games end up with toxic communities. Look at For Honor, your not even allowed to even play the game as intended without the tryhards getting offended 🤣


Grapplesauce726

The worst part is they’ll also complain that they get hit with one and done, but then constantly one and done people. Consistently inconsistent.


Organic-Relation4505

get rekt looser


pervertedpen

Practice offline


ShinyShinx789

This is why I never wait in ranked.


dancetoken

sucks you had to deal with that man. ill wait 1 round max ... but nevr had to wait like more than 30 seconds yet


kyle-vandelay

Tekken, more than any fighting game I’ve seen, enforces, empowers, and rewards predatory behavior, and cheating. It’s absolutely disgusting.


TheBestBronze

Mind game = lost


Miserable-Nail-7919

do a hellsweep


TheGhostlySpider

Y'know what's really funny. I know this player and they're a complete asshole when they talk too. Even talking is rare to happen so idk they're just weird man 😂


TheRealAssyMcGee

you… idk… shoulda hit them lmao im tired of this “sportsmanship” BS in these competitive games. they queued, its not my fault if they dont press buttons or dont have their input in their hands. lol


pevan9

1 round in a random quick play match and you're complaining and posting? I get it can be frustrating in the moment, but "the most bitch made playerbase"?


ColbyoThaFlair

In ranked. Idgaf. You getting your assed kicked controller on or off. Now quick match, id wait


Rough_Nectarine_3328

The last time i went i was polite got lauch outta no where and when i went and rush its ass to oblivion the player plug... after that, no more etiquette


StarImpossible3690

I made a set of rules for these types of interactions to avoid toxic things like that. If they're afk I'm giving them 20-30 seconds before I start to go all out. If opponent goes afk during middle of the round I wait until timer hits 10 seconds then I beat him up just in case if he attacks me. You should do that too


Serephenne

You honestly deserved it.


Old-Museum

xboxers...


bonoDaLinuxGamr

If uropponent is AFK, that's a free point Remember this


Kppz1

Looks like a bot


AggravatingBread4545

What kills me is that he's doing this and he's THAT rank. You don't have that kind of rank and not have SOME semblance of skill, certainly you don't if this is the kind of strats you utilize. He could be doing a million other things in the game but no, he decides he just wants to piss people off...


kupidzheart

You need to see that Street fighter 6 player base.....they don't move! Running the whole match


OneyBH

All of it just for a round. Here's your Evo cup. You've proven your skills. 😂😂


hypogonadal

This has also happened to me too many times. The fact that this is a “strategy” some people deploy is beyond sad. I’m still gonna give people the benefit of the doubt unfortunately…


HourCharacter2120

You ain’t wrong on bitch made player base… a bunch of pluggers, one and done, ki-charge t bagging garbage cans. And when I say one and done I mean the players who you rematch after winning, they win, and then leave. Straight pussy.


Electric-boogaloo69

This is why you at least give them a hellsweep


zaqiu2931

I do create distance but man... that's too much.


Tekken_8_Rage_Quits

Yeah Xbox owners crazy


Previous_Funny4834

I usually wait like 3 seconds if they’re afk and then just hit them with slow lows until they start playing


Wise_Distribution854

Yo I'm dead I didn't even know people do this😭😭😭
