I’m sick of ppl being carried hard asf by their character…40 defense? Can’t block snake edge? Or break any grabs?…oh wait he’s tekken god??!!!
Now before I start this rant I just wanna make something clear. I’m a Bryan main and yes I know so many ppl hate Bryan and think he’s broken but he’s def not BROKEN. He’s strong yes stupid ridiculously overly strong? No. But yes he’s a strong character with great CH tools but only if he’s played REALLY REALLY fucking well at least ranks tekken king and above. Now my problem (here comes the rant) is ppl playing complete utter bullshit characters that make it damn near impossible to do anything, and before anyone says some shit like “learn the matchup bro” I have and I’ve tried and watched replay after replay and not even the replays say I can do anything. These characters I mean are characters such as, Alisa, lidia, law, xiaoyu, Nina, hwo, lili, victor. I have no issues playing against characters like drag, yoshi, king, feng, Clive, Reina etc, annoying asf to play against but have CLEAR counter play and unlike Nina just spamming shit in your face with insane plus frames until u get hit with a 50/50. These characters so fucking stupid, yes I know each character has counter play to them, but it’s not fucking easy with Bryan when he doesn’t have panic tools like Steve back 1 or a flash, a Nina power crush heat engager. Seriously wtf am I supposed to when a Nina is plus frames at all times in my face spamming, I can’t sidestep I can’t press or I get CH, I can’t back dash, I can’t duck or I’ll get launched or mid poked, I can’t use power crush cuz it comes out too slow, I’ll get interrupted or CH, The game is literally meant to be aggressive all the time yet Ooga booga brainded mash fest but make so difficult for Bryan and other characters to be the aggressor because almost every other character has some bullshit get out jail free card button that just steals turns. Then puts on the aggression on me and I literally can’t do shit but forced to hold back and block and wait for 50/50 and pray to god I guess correctly or I’m dead. What really pisses me off tho is ppl playing these characters at high ranks tekken king and above and have like 30-40 defense, can’t break grabs for shit, can’t block snake edges like bro ur tekken god and u get hit by snake edge at the beginning of the match every time? These ppl are so bad but get carried so hard and but refuse to admit and downplay their character. Lidia IS NOT WEAK. Devil Jin IS NOT THE WORST CHARACTER. I genuinely don’t understand ppl when they say DJ is so weak when I’ve seen so many G.O.Ds but with 50 or less defense. And I find it so hard to fight him. I’ve been a Bryan main since I started playing T7 which was around the time introduced Leroy. Highest rank then was fugin or one higher. I’m now Tekken emp on t8 I’ve put in the practice and hours and time, I have 97 defense on t8. It feels like all my time is wasted. I put in all those hours and hard work and practice just to get shit on by some fucking brain ded idiot Nina or law player mashing in my face I can’t fucking do anything. While they have u shit u not less than 30 defense. And like 90 attack. Sidestepping is bad in this game unless your lili, back dashing is ass in This game unless ur a female character or drag. I’ve heard the “just play a different character” I’ve tried to, I got tekken king with king in literally 3-4hours from flame ruler. Spent 1 hour learning him, I don’t get enjoyment from playing character that’s doing all the work. I like having skill and knowing I have skill not just rubbing my balls across my controller and letting my character play for me and get free wins it just feels scummy. Y’all can make fun of me all y’all want and say I’m ass or salty or whatever idrc I’m just frustrated with these dumbass characters and I’m honestly considering just quitting which might be for the best.
