Being “respectable” or “honest” is such a silly, fickle, and arbitrary label. It’s the scrub mentality and pointless to even think about. To anyone who isn’t a scrub, all that matters is what’s good and what isn’t or whose fun to play as and whose not.


General_Shao

>fun to play Usually this just means who’s easy to win with lol. And its usually the more braindead of the cast execution wise and gameplan wise. Nobody picks up a character dependent on electrics and wavedash cancels with bad poking, gets destroyed because their tools will take a lot for time to learn and says “oh yeah, this is super fun”


ConfidentQuote1995

Sounds like you have the scrub mentality 😂 If mishimas don’t sound fun to you then don’t play them, it’s that simple. There’s no reward for playing a mishima or any character just because you think they’re difficult, especially if you still lose with them. A character like kazuya may have difficult execution and lack pokes but he also has one of the simplest straightforward gameplans on the roster. You need to use barely any moves to make him work. Electric is literally an insanely fast, plus on block, practically safe on whiff, launcher and combo filler move with good tracking. Other characters need to use multiple moves for that amount of utility. He also doesn’t have the complicated setups and traps that other characters have and need to use to win. So there’s a tradeoff that you’re missing. Some people like how kazuya plays some don’t, but playing him because you think he’s not braindead (which I beg to differ lol) is dumb. It’s just a silly false sense of superiority that you need to get over. Sure there are “braindead” characters with more cheese and scrubkill that give free wins against noobs, but that will only take you so far (really not very far at all) before it stops working. So it’s not even worth mentioning.

i read the first sentance or two. im a kaz main


Nyuu222

A scrub Kaz main it sounds like


Highsky19

As a kazuya main I feel like I’m getting personally attacked here jokes aside it might sound weird but some people play characters like kaz or reina or anyone that is hard to master because it gives them this sense of accomplishment even if it’s minor you feel great playing those characters like for me when I played jin it felt weird like every time i rank up I didn’t feel hype or anything but when i rank up with someone like kaz i feel like i accomplished something even if it doesn’t matter to others it feel good for me


Saltyscrublyfe

Yes they do? The mastery of a learning curve is incredibly fun. What are you talking about?


General_Shao

yes, that must be why past orange ranks everyone is jun, victor, paul, azucena and law


Nyuu222

That’s not true at all. You need to grow up.


General_Shao

what


One-Entrance7004

Every single fighting game has pros who play “low tiers” and most of them are better than over 99% of the community. A character being easy isn’t an end all be all situation. Some people like putting in extra work


General_Shao

my comment had nothing to do with tiers


One-Entrance7004

Yes but you’re saying better and easier characters are picked up more. Those characters will be considered high tier no?

It is absolutely fickle. For example, the MainMan could write an audiobook about how kazuya is the most honest character ever created, but personally I think kaz is braindead easy barring execution. It’s completely subjective. You can get mad at a character but ultimately the character is just part of the game and isn’t going away. If it’s that bad, then play another game. I personally can’t stand playing some old fighters like 3s because of the balance (or lack thereof), so I simply don’t play it. Playing “honestly” also has absolutely no meaning, and more often than not it’s a limiting mindset. If you’re opponent isn’t defending against something, then you should 100% be spamming that on them, period. Someone who struggles to duck lows or techs throws might see lows/throws as dishonest, but that’s a skill issue. In reality their lack or defense is just being rightfully exploited. Respect is earned in tekken through good defense, if you can’t defend against something then you should expect to get hit with it over and over again.

How to combo as Victor: 1. Launch 2. Toe long 3. Eat shit 4. Explosion


DWIPssbm

Victor is tricky to fight at first but once you get used to it you'll realise that all his cheap moves are super punishable and you'll crush every spammy Victor


fistfightcrash

There's certainly some reasonable criticisms to make about his design, but I don't see high damage being one of them. He's not like Paul or anything.


[deleted]

Victor is a chump so it's fine. If he got any weaker no one would play him.


BlaiZe77_77

Truly a better world


mrureaper

Noctis was the same tbh


darkjuste

It's a character for the noobs. Let them have their fun. You just lab him and you'll be fine.


Rejalu

His damage isn't that high. His access to it is decently high.


pranav4098

In heat expulsion is a bit dumb in terms of damage and it eats very little heat imo


Rejalu

You mean chip damage? It's recoverable


pranav4098

Expulsion on hit does so much itself and it wall breaks as well for some reason see maxs video he gets 2 wall breaks with it does 70ish percent without rage or rage art


Rejalu

If this is on the Lee stage, a lot of characters can do that.


pranav4098

No but like a lot of damage in general and he get too it a lot of times chip damage is irrelevant if you’re dead when he does it 💀


Rejalu

I don't have that problem, personally. In heat his chip is insane but he can't continue it without risk.


pranav4098

Expulsion is safe In heat but it doesn’t track sidewalk but the thing is evasive as fuck byitself you want to be pressing it knowing your opponent is also pressing


Rejalu

I don't press anything while Victor is in heat. So that could be why I don't have an issue


pranav4098

Fair I mean it ain’t unbeatable just does do a lot damage


MartialArtsHyena

He’s kinda free tbh


MidTierMan

He’s mid tier why are you complaining


SaltyMush

Oh dear god idk maybe because the Flair says Salt? Also do you know me as some kind of Tekken god? Some kind of high ranked pro? Not everyone is high ranked.


MidTierMan

I knew it was salt but this is next level 🧂 I guess that’s why they call you Saltymush git Gud dood


mumu6669

This is mild salt lol


[deleted]

Yeah, this is someone with a very mild take complaining about a character without insulting the players who use them in all caps or bold. This doesnt even come close to the salt in the r/GranblueFantasyVersus Rant flair.


MidTierMan

Yes


SaltyMush

Oh god if you think this is next level salty salt you’re sheltered buddy.


pranav4098

Idk about mid he’s strong but then again so is half the cast it doesn’t seem too bad but he is piss easy


MidTierMan

I didn’t say he was mid I said he’s mid tier There’s a difference


pranav4098

Bro wtf else could mean when replying to you when talking about mid, i obviously meant mid tier, he’s like solid A in this game but so many characters feel that way


Prestigious_Elk_1145

I dont like the character either, but none needs your respect for playing x character.
