17:36 "those pngs that you worship, those jpegs, what is it really worth?" coming for the ranked community AND the gacha community with that question lol
The gacha pngs are more real than tekkens ranks.
@@muckdriver nah they both just numbers and pixels at the end of the day
Yo someone said they'd quit drinking if the kuma azucena match was above purple rank. Can we track that man down. God bless kaiser's scuff.
Tekken 8 tried to lower the skill floor and just blew up the building entirely
Zero, I got zero points, for the whole thing. I'm Tekken King, 1900 MMR on wavu. It don't matter, none of this matters.
is that a ATHF Carl reference at the end or i'm just stoned. either way nice moves.
I don't think you should entirely diminish those because they are good accomplishments. I'm still really new to fighting games and I think plenty of people sell themselves short. However, yes, the goal is to get better and have fun (even if you're playing professionally), not to get the Tekken God or whatever badge.
Using wavus system I went from fighting a 1000mmr lars to a 1900-2000 bryan, within the same 24hrs all in this order 1200 Hwor, 1800 Xiao, 2000 King. This was all in green and orange ranks.
I know prowess isn't the best indicator but they might as well use that to determine rank at this point. It is so impossible to learn this game as someone who prefers to take it slow and steady.
whats this wavu thing you guys are talking about
@@pocketstoosumo search wavu wank. It's a more accurate ranking than tekken prowess that uses classic elo rank with ranked replay history for each of your chars
I simply CANNOT understand how a format so simple can be so devious and so bewildering to watch. It really feels like you could show the same clip ten times back to back and reveal different ranks every time. Modern Tekken is truly wonderful :)
Glad you enjoy it!
This is more cruel than Will It Kill. Congratulations, I didn't think it was possible
a lot wider variance in guesses than 50/50😂
To be fair. You can't even get demoted under yellow ranks, so anything bellow it doesn't really mean much.
okay
That explains a lot.
Come on lets call them gold ranks so I feel a little better about being Vanquiser
Loved this. Hope the trend of FGC gambling shows continues, it's a banger concept. That Beginner rank Leroy really fucked me up lol
Tekken is one of the only games that I can lose a round to some dude who barely knows how to play. And then double perfect him the next two rounds with knowledge checks
The amount of ranked points you can generate by labbing one nonsense cornball setup, forcing it every round with your heat, and declining the rematch on anyone who figures it out is pretty wild. I don't know how anyone takes it seriously
This is low ranks in T7 and older games but very common now in T8 across all ranks except Tekken God.
@@GuiltyBystander8 it was actually less common in 7 because there were less comeback mechanics to worry about. The only thing you had to look out for was rage really.
@@Frailty8 yea I agree mate
@@Frailty8t7 rewarded defense, noobs only know offense, in t8 it doesnt matter, its a joke
Lmao 10 minutes in and you got me thinking that Daisuke might have been cooking with the tower in Strive 🤔
Before his time
tower is so goated.
Dudes still eating the alley kick vortex in purples lol
Man Majin out here hosting a fgc gameshow to rival sajam, idk which I'm more hyped to see.
this is great but definitely makes a point about the complete lack of player expression in 8. Theyve made so few moves for every character incredibly strong and the other 80+ moves completely useless so why would any player even bother learning an entire moveset when its obvious 6 moves will do the trick all the way to G.O.D
Throwing in an Eddy mirror match was evil 😂
I love how every clip is a curveball. Guessing ranks really just feels like throwing darts in the dark.
And glad there weren't clips from Sajam's tourney. Lots of matches there were real curveballs when you looked at ranks.
"I don't make the rules" bro pls lmao
These are kicking my ass. The Leeroy vs Feng one absolutely smoked me
Bro, Tekken 8 ranks are by far the least valuable and least meaningful they have ever been in Tekken.
That is part of the problem with this game.
Plugging was on a historical high during the first months and people are one-and-doning like crazy.
Also they devalued too many ranks by giving away warriors for free. So now even in blue you have shit gameplay like that Lee and Ling.
There are not enough ranks until the Gold ranks.
Also the prowess matchmaking System gave people who only play 1 character a matchmaking boost.
The game and it's ranking system are fucked and too many new players are pluggers and one-and-doners.
Until bamco fixes the System and then does a hard reset, ranks mean nothing.
In tekken 7 it was bad already but still was better in terms of system, Rank distribution and plugging behaviour +less one-and-doning.
Man, I can only tell apart two Tekken skill levels which is pros doing crazy movement and super safe, optimal stuff versus everything else. The everything else Tekken all looks the same to me!
This format is sick, do more
i feel like tekken 8 having no demotions in the early ranks makes this harder lol.
8 points, I completely forgot about sleeper agents in Beginner, forgot whiffs and learned even high levels will throw out something unsafe to get momentum back.
That one hopkick though...
Obama plays the role of Drew Carey wonderfully

This just reinforced my assertion that fighting games need actual SBMM, like with an ELO/MMR. They need to take notes from Blizzard's 1v1 ranking and matchmaking.
the concept was fun, hope you do more!
The steve at the end with the raw rage art really caught me off guard and I guessed way too low, really fun series I hope you continue this
Hella fun. Loved every minute of it
Love this series already, definitely excited for more. Gotta see if I can do better than 19 points next time
see you on stream or on the next ep!
The weirdest part is I knew that was Kaizur
Please do more of these videos! I got mixed at the Leroy vs Feng round.
i guessed correctly on the first match and tapped out immediately. i one and done'd this game, i'm goated
If this doesn't become a monthly show like will it kill, we riot!!
Yo love this type of content! Reminds me of Harstem, a StarCraft 2 content creator that guesses ranks with pro players, its called Ranked Roulette
I got 11 points. This is so messed up, please do more.
this is harder than playing actual tekken
This is a very fun video, good shit. That said, I've seen people do this exact same thing with games that have a ton of skill expression, and everyone is wrong literally every time. I don't think this is a valid "gotcha" to have a guess be way off because by nature, we're only seeing a snapshot of a player's skill. We are all inherently inconsistent. Sometimes you play above your rank, sometimes you play below it. On average, any player that plateaus at a rank is deserving of it, for better or worse. Just because they pop off one round doesn't mean their rank is totally unrelated to their skill. And maybe I totally misunderstood your point. I'm definitely not infallible. But like I said before, I did really enjoy the game. Thanks for the vid, obama.
btw, I got 6 points
Yeah taken out of context it can be hard. There's some tells though. Some of them are glaringly obvious. I think I missed three of those guesses because I just tend to lump everyone in the same rank if they clearly aren't really comfortable with their character yet, so it's hard to tell. I'm sure the same goes for people higher than me, when they consider other skillsets. It was like this in 7. You can have a round that makes you look TGO but you're just another Fujin most of the time.
Idk, I feel like watching a set or full match you’d easily be able to tell
I got one point but I'm the type of person who's stuck at low rank in nearly every fighting game that I play so my two frames of reference are "I can take them" and "I' don't stand a chance". I don't hate it, I could spend more time actually looking at replays, watching/reading guides and watching high level matches... but dammit I want to play video games!
It will be more enjoyable if you invest in improving, but if you are having fun now that's cool too!
Good Show Sir Obama Good show❤🎉, this was a fun topic to analyze and discuss, i got none right 😂
I got fucked up on these, ended with 6 points total. Good stuff, love to see more of these.
This format is great, chat playing gives it a lot of charm. You should try this with SF6, maybe I could get some more points XD
Sf6 is prob the only other game you can do this with. Definitely something I want to try
we need more episodes of this pronto
video was insane... can't believe it. got it so wrong, for each matchup
I don't know enough about Tekken to guess but this was still entertaining to watch!
learn the game even a little and it will make watching /playing this kinda game way more fun for you
after being SO wrong so many times, i feel my brain expanding
surely u make another episode of this, actually soo good. maybe limit it to warrior and above since losses are worth nothing until that point. either way funny video g 😂
Thanks for watching man
7 points. I'd have never claimed to be good at this before trying, but man, way more all over the place than I'd have guessed
As a Fujin rank I can tell anyone that it's not unusual for blue ranks to mash powercrush on round start, it's actually to be expected .lol
10 points, came real close most of the time but overshot it. Some fellas in them low ranks really do got their movement, combos and blocking down....impressive honestly.
This is pretty eye opening
Shit's mostly hard because there's like 1500 fucking ranks like god damn bro why are there 2 of the same purple ranks with a blue in-between
19/55 LETS GO, I CAN SEE 🤓 but for real, that Hwyorang v Kazuya threw me for a loop cause I swear on my life I thought they were Tekken God 💀 this is amazing though, please continue this series 🙏
Michael Murray gone report this vid LMFAO. Too powerful
Ended with 9 points 😩. This is dope. What days and time are you gonna be doing these on stream?
Bi-weekly or monthly would be dope!
9 points out of a possible 55. we’re so in there
I just saw the second clip and closed video. I'm so maaaad 😭😂😭
this one is fun. sharing some knowledges to each color ranks's tier from old heads to new heads with some mixups. thank you, obama
also, lol, very cool edits and stream overlays👍👍 👍
Glad you like them!
dude i don't even know about ranks anymore
ranked is crazy
14 points by the end, but holy shit I didn’t know what was happening half the time lmao those ranks are all over the place
fun show, i got 9 points. got the first yoshimitsu one right because they played exactly like me lmao. would love to watch more of these they're funny as hell.
You could definitely do Who's floor is it anyway, for Strive
I got 19 points but the psychological damage from some of my mistakes was NOT worth it.
...yet i still crave for more.
One thing I've picked up on is red-blue ranks all look the same to me 😂
So satisfying seeing a Leroy beat a Feng and a Kuma packing an Azucena.
11:04 i can safely say I guessed righ on this match. The way the Kazuya fell for the heat smash made me think so
This is funny as hell haha.
another point besides the smurf leroy, is that any high level player can make several mistakes in a round, and sometimes low level plays can pull out crazy clutches by mashing, 1 round doesnt tell you enough information, but i called the eddy and drag mirrors being green because they had no custom, thats another way to tell
This is great😂
If I keep betting Vanquisher I'm bound to get it right once.
This is why ranked tekken is so good to watch random replays. I retired from ranked after shinryu lol
That Kuma was Tekken god? I would expect him to be Fujin in T7
I gave up guessing after going 5 rounds with a big ol 0 LOL this is so funny, I love it
idk who the strawman is, nor do I understand their perspective...but this was still fun (it did feel pretty salty sometimes lmfao) someone below posted it better than I could- watching a portion of a round w no context or resource display tells you VERY little. with meter info this would make more sense as a callout to the hypothetical antagonist(shoutouts to Meg Griffin for that one), but its a more fun video without it
18 pts outta a possible 60.... point proven sir. I got shmixed early but then made a couple hard reads somewhere in the center.
"Yourself and myself included" 😂
10 points here 😅 PLEASE do more lol
You could have told me the Asuka player was Recruit, and I would've believed because he's the only Asuka besides SLine I've seen play like that much of a nut while doing weird ass custom combos.
this was hilarious and a lot of fun. I got bodied, just 4 points
i fought a neon blue dragunov as a cavalry rank and they had to have either been a veteran who just got tekken 8 or a smurf. I got 8 points, 5 of which were from the dragunov mirror. most surprising was king vs kuma where my orange rank king friend is similar
Smurfing is def an issue with this system
The hwo vs kaz one is very hard to tell cuz every hwo player be doing the strings
I know I was cooked when I thought a blue rank game was destroyer.
I cant believe Majin would just lie to people like this
Too fun! Got 17 points after getting goose eggs on the first 4 clips. 💪
Nice job!
6…. I love this game so much. Please keep it going lol
More on the way!
@@doogies you’re the 🐐!!
Man I only got 2 points haha this video is very entertaining omg I was getting tilted with the leroy beginner and kuma tekken god match. I was attached only to movement and combo drops but this game is basically a agression game now haha
I said out loud to myself "that's Kaizur" when Kuma and Azu popped up. Still went with Raijin lmao I didn't believe...
9 points... I'm a Xiaoyu main, I knew that the second match was Raijin almost immediately 😭
I need to be thinking diamond 2 players are 1700 mr players on some episode at some point
Which region are these replays from btw? The blue rank video looked more like Asia red to me.
primarily NA and EU
@@doogies Makes sense then. I predicted lower rank than was the case in most battles here, by around 1-2 colors except for upto yellow ranks.
9... I'm mindblown, red and forward they all the same, fuck me
12, I'm not gonna lie it's really really hard to tell
I got 16 points, I got that download
I knew that Eddy mirror perfectly
one of us
Now, where do I send the clips? There's plenty of degen stuff floating around in this game.
I'm God of Destruction and I got 8 points. The Leroy vs Feng, Paul Vs Yoshi, Azu Vs Bear, and Drag mirror got me good.
Yooo what up man. I’m Going into the next challenge with 14 points. And you’re absolutely right 🤣 this guessing game is hilariously fun and cracked. My brother makes fun of me because I kinda do care about rank 💀 I’m a Bushin Raven btw
That's it, I'm quitting ranked 😂

I'm not as ashamed of been of low ranks as I was after this.
You can confuse low level play with low level rank, but you will rarely confuse high level play with low rank. There’s some exception, to that obviously.
Man, I got 4. At this point I need to see a doctor.
15:06 FOR REAL THO LMAOOOO
Here's what I learned from this video: I'm better at Tekken 8 than I think, and I'm worse at Tekken 8 than I realize. Huge.
