Afraid to play online

[-XeVoN-]

Since NSUNS 4 where I just got ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rekt from a guy with such a low ping that I thought he is playing without internet I'm afraind to play online in a fighting game.I played TEKKEN on my PSP for 5 years with Eddy but my hands starts shaking on my controller when I'm fighting someone for real and it's not just an NPC.It's the online matchaking fixed like I with a beginner rank to play against noobs like me?Or this is just Rocket League's matchmaking where you play only against pros?

as long as they also have beginner or below 1st kyu, u will matched with the same rank, make sure to limit the rank in the preferences before match

If I have Tekken God Prime on Eddy in offline mode and Begginer rank with every single fighter in online I will play with begginer players right?

Not if you play player matches.
Only ranked play will consistently match you with people of similar rank.

Just played that type of match against one guy with over 100 wins and I with 0.Great matchmaking...

Never mind just played against a Josie guy with 4 wins,Fresh meat.

Honestly just play, I can understand what you are thinking, I used to feel that way about online games as well, but there is no reason to be so conscious over everything.
You will probably get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up by other people and have to set the matchmaking to any to even find matches since beginner ranks are deserted, but it is no big deal to lose and get bodied, everyone did in the beginning.
If you stick with it, you will look back to this post in a year and laugh about it.

Wins don't mean anything. In fact if you find people with lots of wins and low ranks, it will probably mean they're consistently doing bad stuff that keeps them from ranking up.
If anything it means they're weak and not strong.
High ranks with low wins, that's usually way scarrier.

A Noctis with low wins and a high rank is not scary.

Now a Lars with low wins with a high rank? That's Exorcist-scary!

Don't be afraid to dip your feet into the online player pool. You WILL lose. But it is part of learning the game. If you don't play online (it is a fantastic training tool and exposure tool) you are missing the chance to truly learn from your mistakes and refine your play.

they mostly not beginner, but smurfing to learn new character for them. they still trying to familiar with the movelist and combo. but in most cases, some smurfs reset their data to 0 win to feed their ego.
I met nina with 0 win who casually ss1 cancel and hayashida step, and iw1 carry to wall. I was like this-> xD

I hate those people who are pressing ALT+F4 after I win the round in perfect...Or those who are pressing it when they lose and at the final...

The matchmaking is ok but keep in mind that online is a different beast than offline.

Learn at least basics of your character first - best moves and how to use them to be efficient.

As my colleague said - you WILL lose a lot. That is the way of Tekken. Grow.

BTW dont pay attention to the win numbers - there can be someone with 1000 wins and still play very badly.

I played eddy too. I can give you a few tips. He is extremely complex but he is also very evasive so you can catch offguard a lot of players - especially weaker ones.

1) extremely long range
- ff3 have insane range - it gives a combo near wall. It is pretty slow so dont use it up close - also it is easily sidesteppable so if your opponent sidesteps dont use it. Otherwise good to use from time to time if you think it could catch an opponent trying to approach.
- f3+4 - also very range - it gives combo if only second strike hits. also easily steppable so careful about steppers.

2) mid range
- b2,4 is powerful rangy string - dont be afraid to trow it out from time to time. Second hit is high so if you face a good opponent he might duck the second hit and punish you - in that case dont do it again without reason :) but lower rated opponents dont duck strings much.
- df3+4 - rangy launcher and hard to punish (opponent needs do dash in because of the pushback so its practically safe against worse opponents). Insane move.
- uf4 - good move to just throw out from time to time even against top players - safe and lowcrushes.

3) close range
- b3,3 - 13 frame mid counterhit launcher - if your opponent tries to press a lot of buttons this gives you combo. You end up in relaxed stance so its not so easy to punish.
- d+3+4 into 3~4 or 4~3 - anytime you feel your opponent will try to press buttons - do jab string or df1 or something you can lie down using d+3+4 into relaxed stance - and then you are in position to do your most dangerous mixup 3~4 (mid launcher) or 4~3 (low launcher). 3~4 input means pressing 3 and then VERY fast 4 (like slide your thumb on gamepad level fast).
I highly recommend learning at least basic combos for those.
btw there are several moves that end up in relaxed stance - you can use them too.
- b1+2 - its basically fast sidestep into safe mid. This move is insanely good when someone tries to kill you close up.
- db1+2 - its backsway mid launcher - similar to b1+2 only sways back instead of to the side - excellent against people close up. just not whiff it it has short range.


hmmm other than that I recommend learning at least basic combos (50dmg) for all the mentioned launchers and use df1s and jabs etc. Eddy has tons and tons of other tools.

4) oh and of course lows
- the most dangerous one is 3~4 (from basic stance - not relaxed) but it is slower and only close range - use it rarely. It gives combo though.
- SS4 is the most practical one imho. do a quick sidestep (even invisibly small) into 4. Good range and frames - very safe too. It has extensions. SS4,3+4 or SS4,3 - 90% time use just SS4 but from time to time you can try surprise opponent - my personal favourite is SS4,3+4,B, (into backsway handstand) an then f+3+4 from handstand :) safe mid KND.
- db3 is also great low with extensions - db3,4,4 etc. you can play with that.

slippery kicks are pretty seeable. They do get me often though lol. another option is handstand- There are tons of things you can do from handstand that can pressure and cause problems.
