What character can carry me to Tekken King rank?

[C1REX]

Hi,

What character would give me the best chance to slip through blue ranks?

I’m currently hard stuck in low blue with Alisa.
I’ve tried bears but they don’t feel strong enough.

I’ve tried Victor and he is strong but I’m very bad at combos and he requires constant adjustments depending how far from a wall you are. Alisa feels stronger for me due to easier execution. People also side stepping me all the time when I play Victor.

What is the most brain dead blue rank destroyer?
I consider King, Ling, Asuka, Jun, Azucena but I’m open to any suggestions.
I prefer characters with super easy 70+ damage combos and decent lows or hard to break throws.

Azucena and King of those you listed.

Azucena- probably the easiest character in the game and will carry you to a good margin.

Jun- safest character in the game, extremely hard to punish, and has a health gain button, all you need is to be average at fundamentals to bring out her potential, you have no one to blame but yourself if you lose while playing her.

Jin- best all-rounder in the game with no flaws, he's also easier to use than he was in T7, good combos, damage, a good heat smash, gets Mishima techniques in heat, he has it all, but at least you need to master the fundamentals while playing him.

Dragunov. Crazy damage and pressure. Lots of throw options with varying breaks. A lot of plus frames on block moves. Very strong lows. Strong armor moves. Heat smash is fast and plus on block. Has a lot of counterhit launchers. He has attack parry as well as special low parry. Some of his grabs erase recoverable health. His only real weakness is getting sidestepped but that's a minor weakness compared to all the advantages he has over other characters. If you can play him well, you can get higher rank compare to other characters because he is too OP right now.

Do you have anything in mind that is not on my short list?

Feng

you can try jack, good grabs, high combo dmg, easy inputs and decent lows.

btw, why you need to rush this particular rank anyway? I recommend just learn the game and in some time you will get there.

I feel I can learn more if I can play with higher ranked people and easy characters can help with that.

Yep, what everyone said above. Basically the top 4 at the moment in no particular order : Azucena, Dragunov, Feng and King.

Those 4 all have one thing in common, they combine some of the easiest execution with broken movesets/frames/fowcharts, amazing damage and had the best results at top level tournaments so far.

You can add Jun like said above, Xiaoyu ( but tricky to learn/play, not easy execution) and Devil Jin ( more difficult execution due to electrics/wavedash ) to complete the top 7 strongest chars at the moment.

You could also try Victor in my opinion, he is not as good as those above in theory but in practice he can carry you quite a bit due to very low execution required and still very strong moveset.

Otherwise, you can try to use characters that nobody or few people know the matchup against them, like Zafina, Bears, Raven, Jack or Alisa.

Alisa is actually very strong, the others are weaker but you will win quite a lot because you will very often keep surprising people potentially.

No character can carry you. These forums are bonkers.

King 100%

Feng/Drag.

High level players will rely on consistent neutral and everyone at higher levels gets more accustomed to that.

Drag/Feng have neutral control, bypass neutral and also force too much 50/50 while being insanely safe.

Tons of other stuff too but the chars are also just plug and play rn.

I'd say rest of casts you'll hit a brickwall and need to learn proper true stupid setups/gimmicks that you cba with or everyone knows MU.

These 2 are unique.
