For real though, is he at least "competent" at fighting games, or do we all just know who he is because of his salt? Is he sometimes reasonable? Do you think he knows (or cares) that he is a meme? He must care.

Probably not. I think the developers think Jubei is stronger than he really is just because he's a little bit smaller than other characters.

It'd be pretty great if they got rid of his extra hit-stun at the least though. I dont know why they felt the need to give him that flaw.

Play him when you know you're going to clown someone's ass. If you can comfortably win with just about any character, you can safely pick them.

Not that this is necessarily the same situation, but I'm terrible with Bison. I love the guy, but for fuck's sake I cannot win a match to save my soul against an experienced player. I need to know my opponent is trash before I choose him.

If you enjoy playing the character then continue playing him. Maining low tier characters has it's advantages as not many people know the match.

Play it until I get pissed off with losing to degenerate shit, then look to greener pastures or stop playing altogether if better characters aren't as fun.

I had to wait until USF4 before Juri finally was good enough. Cody was ass from start to finish, a waste of time to play. Worse than Cammy in every way.

I play for the playstyle alone. Don't give a shit how good they are but appreciate when they get buffs if they could use them.

I love big, slow characters with high damage, armor, and grabs, so 80% of the time I play low-tiers. I'm used to it.

>>387431861


Lol EWGF is totally doable on pad. The same logic is used for Karin's JF dash to up-palm. Just frames are not inherently more difficult on pad. What a meme.

Wavedashing is more taxing to perform over and over. EWGF just takes a little bit of tweaking wrt your timing.

>learn EWGF and KBD and you're good

As a Kazuya main, i wish people would stop believing thst this is all you need to git gud. You can always tell if a player is new even if they are going up the ranks fast, because they spent 4 days after buying the game learning KBD, then they fight you and proceed to spaz all over the stage and then suddenly (shock! What is this!) i just don't chase them. I stand there. Suddenly they have ZERO GAMEPLAN because thry were told movment would win them matches. Then they lose and get mad because:
>l-learn to play the game scrub!
All because i won't play right into their game. Which is all they have. So when they are forced to get stuck at close range in they get out pressures and tricked super easy.

You need more than that kids, you need time. You need to have matches. People who only learn the base mechanics are like robots, no actual gameplan at all.

Oh well yeah anyone who think just learn X magic bullet and you'll win is a fucking dumb-ass. I'm just saying stick-users need to pull their heads out of their asses. Pad players win majors these days. There's nothing inherently better on stick vs pad unless you suck at charge characters and need a square gate.

>>387432719
I'm like this, except if the character is TOO shit.
I mained Pot in GG for two years because I loved his playstyle, but at the end of the day I just didn't want to deal with the nigh-unwinnable MUs like Sin or Zato. It's just not worth it if you have to play against those chars regularly

>>387432985
I don't know, man. T7 was my first tekken I really played more than an hour. Got warrior in like a week before I stopped playing just baiting whiffs with movement. Granted, I have pretty good fundamentals but still, movement is way powerful in the game.

>>387425051
Keep having fun with them because I'm not playing professionally and neither are you

>>387433176
I'm a stick user and I don't really understand the pad vs stick superiority thing. You can beat anyone with anything. Pads and sticks are just tools for you to find which you're most comfortable with.

That said I do think movement is easier on pad (hitbox + keyboard too) because there's less space to move. The only major pros to stick are face buttons and being standard legal for japanese tournaments.

>>387433612
Against a lot of people you will get there, but these are the same people you can trick by spamming Chloe's d,b,4,4 over and over and over again all the way to green rank and beyond.

Im just saying, next time you face a green rank or below who is having a seizure across the stage literally the moment the match starts till finish, experiment with just standing there. Watch how frustrated they fucking get. Because EVERYONE chases them. Just watch out for throws obviously, but you will be amazed how shit their actual game is despite how good their KBD is. Id say anyone at Yellow rank ahould probably be past this one trick pony phase by then so don't try that shit on them neccesarily.

>>387437943

>>387425051
If you actually love the game you should be capable of enjoying a high tier. Everyone who fully intends to keep playing the game can go on to either a new character or tough out the bad match ups. Only shitters give up and cry about a character being bad.

LTG is (IMO) an average-level fighter in the sense that he's memorized the character's movesets and can utilize combos in particular moments/situations, however, what prevents him from moving into higher rankings is that he loses his cool too often or he completely loses his advantage in matches by dropping offensive strategies.
