if u can't punish you don't deserve to be higher ranked.

[JChills]

Watching replays can help. Also, go to practice mode and record the strings that are giving you trouble then learn the proper punish with your character.

"All the way" to initiate? Isn't mentor right next to initiate...

Strings are hard to detect, hard to avoid and hard to punish I know, but this is tekken dude, painful and slow but very rewarding. Remember that this is a game and is supposed to be played for fun

[in memoriam of Sharky]

"i cannot progress when ♥♥♥♥♥♥s keep spamming one long string"

As soon as you realize that the progression is when you overcome something like that by learning an getting better and not the promotions you achive at ranked you will feel better.

Sorry to say it, but you're going to have to learn how to punish them ASAP. Otherwise, don't even bother thinking about ranked. Just stay in player matches and learn from every match(use the replay feature).

[Tone]

Why worry? Experiment. try to step something, squize a 1,2 or d1 somewhere, or attack when the string ends.

I'd say its the other way around.

If I was a low ranked player I wouldn't get even close to quickmatch and stay only in ranked. In quickmatch the matchmaking is way less rigid so he could be playing rulers there.

But strings are like 60% of tekken gameplay generally so without knowing how to use them and how to defend against them its like playing football without knowing how to kick a ball.

Watch the replays and analyze which strings you struggle the most. If you have frame data DLC, enable it so that you can see if you can punish it after blocking it. Also, there are strings that will always end with a HIGH. So you can duck that HIGH and then punish them with a launcher.

Additionally, if you are facing a character whose strings you don't understand, try to keep some distance, and then once you get close, retaliate with fast pokes so that they'll be forced to stop spamming the string for a while.
