Is steve a bad character to start with?

[VicVoss]

Not much tekken experience here but I like the guy

[kryeed]

yo, +1 i've been messing with him and hworang. i'd like to know if i'm just gaining specific knowledge over general tekken knowledge by playing em.

If you like Steve he will require a lot of high level thinking endgame but he is viable and very expressive in the style/way you want to play him.

He also has extremely high level mind games.

Teal ranks won't know what hit em.

do you mind explaining me the high level thinking for endgame and about the mindgames? I only played street fighter and other 2d games so Im not sure if I know the specifics of that when it comes to 3d

EArly game steve still has some decent mind games, I'd say he's execution heavy with the potential to play well at all levels.

i'm stewing in teal ranks but i imagine its his stances. also his unblockable falcon punch (up-back with both punch buttons). its slow and easy to dodge but if they've never seen it i've taken a few rounds.

An example would be Steves Df 1,2.2?

this is a MId High, high string.

It can be ducked into launch or Ws4.

However Steve has another cancel from DF 1,2 which is interruptable by Ws4, but CH launches ws 2.

However this move is punishable.

This creates a mindgame with Df1 alone whether the enemy will convert into 1,2,2

Convert into 1,2 x

Press DF1 into Df1

Press Df 1 into sidestep.

Press df, cancel into a low

etc etc.

It alone on a DF1 is a high level mindgame, however this is a more basic example, his actual endgame stuff is muuuuch more complicated to explain.

Pick and play a character you like, over time it will get easier and if you like the character it will be worth it in the end

He's problably a bad character to build fundamentals with seeing how he doesn't kick. But as just a character it should be fine.
