How to deal with super spammers like Nina and Xiaoyu as Dragunov?

[Tourette's Guy]

I changed my main character from Feng to Dragunov, since I think Dragunov is more well rounded character, although Feng's pokes are the best, without doubt.

But I always struggle against spammers who don't give you even a 0.5 secs of breathing. As Dragunov, I found that the best way to initiate a juggle is by performing a sweep (bd + 3), and then d + 2, etc, etc, you know. But when the enemy consistently blocks that low attack, the match becomes an absolute pain.

Can you give me some tips to improve my Dragunov gameplay?

You gotta know what their punishable moves are and body them after you've blocked those.

That sounds pretty hard, since the roster is big. And since I only play Dragunov, it's hard to discover those whiffs in which I can counterattack.

Sidestep make them whiff than launch or crouch if they spam high and hit with mids, lows than take your turn. :D

u can for example... I dunno.. READ IT UP ON THE INTERNET?
the tekken community, especially all well known twitch streamers and tournament commendators bombard you with tutorials, tips, tricks. Hell even youtube is full of dozens of dozens of videos of combo/juggle/character videos.

The only thing u need to understand is that Tekken requires self imposted training and practice. U will find the right moves for the right situations if u stay dedicated. Dont worry.

Trying to simulate what the spammers did in practice might be the best option.

That is why this game takes a long time to master.
Atleast you know who your main is so you only need to learn how dragunov deals with each character and how they deal with him, instead of how to deal with each character as dragunov and feng and how everyone deals with them.
I'm screwed when it comes to that...

His b+1+3/b+2+4 and d/f+1+2 might help you out.

I spent countless, literally countless hrs in Tekken 3, sparring with my buddy to learn how to telegraph everyones moves, and block effectively. Way too rusty now (and game evolved in many layers), but we were invincible back then, there was no combo I couldn't block

The best practice in this game is learning how to block everyone, and when you actually nail it you feel like freaking Neo. There's a reason some pros say that it takes about 2 years to learn how to properly play this game

Check the information this guy can pass on. Very well respected, knows his beans. All explained in a very clear and easy manner.
Well worth a look for any player.

I just played a match against a Hwoarang (Brawler). I'm currently Grand Master (7th Dan). Man, I just can't deal with those unpredictable kicks. I managed to win 2 rounds, but it's a pain in the ass.

Most of those are high/med. Standing block.

The problem is the low kicks. If a low kick connects, the high kick also connects dealing a decent chunk of damage. It's really hard to block and predict low attacks in this game.
