Today I witnessed the most depressing thing I've witnessed in Tekken.
I was going up for a promo match for Destroyer. I was fighting another Law. No Law has beaten me in ranked yet, at the time I had a 20 win streak which is not impressive given the skill level of most people in ranked.
At the start of the match, this guy was spacing decently, but then he kept doing invincibles, and I launch punished the ones that I was able to block. He kept trying to do 2,2 back turn mixups with Law, but I didn't even let him.
It was to 2-0, in the very last round, this guy did a 10 hit string twice, I low parried both of them, and killed him with the second low parry combo. Right after I got promoted to Destroyer from beating him, the very next match was him again.
This time, he was back walking, and waiting for me to attack so he could catch me with an invincible. I whiff punished a few of them until he died. I was doing a lot of slides with Law. In the second round, I noticed that he started to try doing slides. They were the slowest slides I had ever seen. I hit him with a slide while he was trying to hit me with one. He did a few slides and I blocked most of them. At the very end of the second round, he did a slide, and I got a full juggle off of a block punish, which killed him.
So he went back to doing 10 hit combos, and I low parried them every time. I could say this guy was running through all of his strategies. He was attempting to use every trick in the book, besides the trick that works most of the time. Don't throw out punishable moves, space properly, be patient, and use safer moves. He did none of that besides spacing properly from time to time.
He probably didn't even know why he was losing. Before I even fought this guy, I think I got 7-8 rage quitters in a row. Like, once I started hitting people with 8 hit juggles, they rage quit, it seems to be for the same reasons. I never got a rage quitter before something happened, it was usually after a few rounds.
A guy got so mad after I demoted him, that he sent me hate mail. What was noteworthy about this was, after I had already closed the game and played something else, he was still sending me hate mail. Some of his hate mail was spaced 20-25 minutes apart. I had already moved on in life and this guy is still thinking about how his Asuka got whiff punished all day and night. This guy is pretty much the mayor of whiff city.
I'm don't consider myself good at Tekken, I consider myself average, I know key moves, how to space, how to defend myself, and how to do combos. I don't blame people in Tekken Revolution for the skill level that they have.
I was never planning on playing Tekken Revolution until a buddy of mine kept asking me to play it.
