Did you know?

That average Tekken player spends about 4 years of his life watching rage arts which equates to 1460 days or 35040 hours?

I really do hope in Tekken 9 it takes even more time because it wasnt long enough before.

If you don't want to look at rage arts you should probably block them.

Wow, nice advice. I will assume you are new to Tekken. It isnt like you cant use it in combo, right?

Ah so you need advanced advice: don't put people in rage if you don't want them to use rage.

i've seen people wear someone down fairly close to 'rage art level' and then finish a combo to kill em. Since i am new, is that an unreasonable ask to have players play around the mechanic in mind?

Alright I'll break it down for you.
You know how there's a threshold on the health bar that you have to be below for rage to unlock? And you know how beyond that threshold there isn't very much health?
Well, sometimes it's actually to your advantage not to hit someone with a 7 damage poke that would put them into rage, it's better to create an opportunity where you can wipe all that remaining health out at once so they don't get a big damage buff and the opportunity to make you watch their cartoon.

Yes, it is. What you are asking for - is to catch someone for launch with combo. Higher skill opponents wont give you many chances with commital enough moves to launch them and finish them in one combo. On lower health it will go down for pokes to finish your opponent.

Wow, man, i watched some knee and anakin gameplay and they tend to put their opponents in rage. They must be very stupid to not use your tactics. And you know, cheap damage exists now also.

i see. it also comes as a double edge sword for newbies, as we wanna panic use our moves so we're easy to bait. I'm not familiar with too much higher play. i'm inclined to believe its just a new mechanic we have to learn to play around.

In higher ranks mostly no one uses raw rage arts you use it to finish combo because rage arts have less damage scaling. My problem is not rage arts but how long it takes to play animation of it. It takes around 10 seconds to play, round takes 60 seconds - so you watch movie for 1/6 of a round. It absolutely kills flow and momentum of the game.

Also rage arts not new. They`ve been here for 8 years.

They are more confident in their ability not to get owned by a cartoon.

Your arguments make zero sense. Like confidence makes you immune to launchers.
