noob question about side steppin

[petitpied2]

sometimes it just wont?? wtf

[MythlyInari]

It's weird.

With controller, tapping up allows me to sidestep left, but to sidestep right, I have to doubletap down in order to move that way.

Are you using a controller, keyboard, or Fightstick?

It'll seriously help people trying to help you if they know what you're using.

its common for beginners to have an evil spirit possess your controller and block inputs. just make sure you lay down a circle of rock salt around your seat at least 2m diameter. all the pros do this

Make sure you're not double tapping. It's one tap to step. Double tap hold for walk.

Do you mean you get hit or do you mean it won't come out? If it does not come out do you jump or does nothing happen? If nothing happens, you probably press up to early during blockstun and it won't buffer.

Side stepping in Tekken is not like Soul Calibur, Virtual Fighter or Dead or Alive where all you need to do is press down or up.

Tekken the movement takes a lot of practice and the backdash cancel and sidestep cancel where you have to press d,d,b.. if you like moving like a staggering rigid idiot and you are comfortable with that playing Tekken for years, maybe thats okay.

But over the years of looking my character moving like a freak, i was hoping the new technology and over the years, they would improve the gameplay, instead Namco decided to add fire balls and anime which they call it innovation.

You dont "Need" KBD to win.

You're still an idiot.

Sad part about KBD is you NEED it to stay competitive. But also that is clear bug that stay in game since Tekken 1 (somehow fixed long time ago in all other fighting games).

If you are using a low tier character, and dont have much set ups and reliable moves, then you need to master movement, and the movement is frustrating in this game and requires a lot of practice, because make one wrong input and a character like Lucky Chloe with her rediculours range and launcher would take 70% of your health.

You can go to practice turn on command history and check if the input registers in the game
