Street Fighter V.S. Tekken

Lol at Ryu having a 3 frame jab and Balrog having been nerfed to a 5 frame jab. They weren't kidding when they said Ryu was back to his dominant sfiv position again! Does he really need all the tools, sooooo much damage output and ease of use? I might even pick him up as a 5th character to cover any weaknesses in my team.

Derp.
 
Apparently, according to the official guide, pretty much every tekken character is 'best at close range' and the general tactic is to get in and use the frame advantage of lp/cr.lp.
How the hell do you do that?? lp has a range of half a character, and all tekken strings end in -1 or worse. Am I missing something basic here since I never played Tekken before?
 
ryu has no flaws in this game other than not having a comboable overhead (oh wait, you can tag cancel that into a full combo), clearly one of the best in the game.

at the moment i think the best is ryu, rolento, rufus and kazuya. everyone else looks pale compared to those four.

i lol at steve trying to get in against ryu's 3 frame moves with his 6 frame jab. i honestly struggle to work out what to do, all my strings lose to mashing dp:(
 
Any one notice how dark some of the characters are? Especially the Tekken ones seems strange as everything else is so bright!

Heihachi is a monster.
 
If Ryu is that good, it probably explains why I'm winning more then I'm losing even though I've no idea what I'm doing yet. :p

Keeping an eye on the health bar, the time (due to time outs) and just trying to tag at the right time is about all I'm concentrating on at the moment. I've lost a few rounds by not tagging at all and I had a full health char just sat there! :o

Yupyupno hammered me this morning, I did a bit better vs Art but you guys are using totally new chars.

Distorted, who you using as your second char?

In Tekken most blocked strings end at negative, but the vast majority are safe (outside perhaps a fast 1 2) but they generally have a high/low mixup at some point in them (like Heihachi in this game) and the reward for getting the hit is the damage from ending the string and some frame advantage.
The big damage comes mostly from whiff punishing (or spamming EWGF/safe launchers).
Not a lot to be taken over from that since there are no 3 frame jabs/dps to punish unsafe strings.
 
Been messing with Asuka. Bit better with her but again still finding trouble to find ways of not being out zoned, as once shes out of Crouching Medium Kick range thats her zoned out. Though she has good juggles got one ish~ still trying to get my standing H good.

Though Links in this game is so different and partially new to me, but then again i was playing UMVC before that so into Cancelling every button to another one.

Hope i can get some good synergy with Cammy and Asuka as i think they may work just with bit more training.


Also anyone got any ideal when color DLC are coming?
 
Just paired up with Art and had some ranked battles, we won about 5 or 6 and only lost 1. Pairing up with someone else makes this game about 1000x more enjoyable imo. Art, we need to team up for the tourney, I don't mind carrying you... :eek::p

Give me those tips again.

I know when the char is low on health they will try run away then tag hence why I would be over them like a rash if I see low health. I thought they fixed this game so you can't abuse throw? I was getting away with murder at times :o

I really cant settle on anyone. Of all the other characters Ive tried, I havent really liked any of them that much yet. I've tried Paul, Law, Yoshimitsu, Ken, Heihachi, Julia and I am now testing out Poison.

I find a lot of the tekken cast really slow and hard to use.

You did alright Adz, i wouldn't say i hammered you though :)

I think everyone is still pretty new, and figuring out how to get in etc.

I still need to work on my anti-airs and footsies.
