I just started playing Tekken and chose Steve as my main because I just feel connected to his style. Then I found out he’s one of the most difficult characters to master lol
Don’t let it discourage you, challenge is fun and if you become decent at the character without switching you’re not even gonna know what an “easy” character feels like by comparison. =) I started out with Yoshimitsu and today have Heihachi as a sub, both notoriously difficult, and not once have I considered switching for that reason
Ruler ranks was the most frustrating to rank up. One match was a shitty flowchart spammer and the next player was a TGO playing a sub. At least prowess gives everything away so you know what to expect.
I don't have a lot of time to play tekken but, I always try to when I have time. After the rank reset I have found it quite a lot more difficult to get back to where I was. People on ranked now a days are usually really strong. Its rare I run into someone I can just blow up.
The top half of the ranked leaderboards aren't populated enough to dilute the TGO mains dominating everyone. Its not the competitive players fault ofc but its dumb that the devs don't recognise that by letting the most experienced players wail on maybe 25%-40%(?) of the playerbase, it becomes a system where everyone is punching down and nobody outside of that almost exclusive TGO club or beginner ranks is having a fun and educational experience thanks to a really steep learning curve demanding even more from them in the form of players at the top of that curve already. You'd think they would have realised quite early on that its best to keep high level players at very high ranks. Yeah that would dilute the feeling of achievement of getting a 2nd+ TGO if it only takes a couple of ranks, but thats better than having a high level player feel more fulfilled ranking to TGO at the expense of the more veteran/experienced players being demoted by them, causing an avalanche of rqnk stagnation. *rabble rabble rabble*
Hey TMM, awesome video. You mentioned that you dislike the fact that ranked is character based in T7, but I actually love it. It gives me an opportunity to learn new characters in an environment that won't just fuck my general rank. It also feels cool saying "I've gotten 3 characters to Mighty Ruler". I think some kind of middle ground would be cool. Where as you get better, it gives you a minimum rank that your characters can never be behind, but it still lets you level up the individual characters from that base rank. (E.g. My profile is considered Yaksa, so any new character I start will be at Yaksa, but then I still level it up individually to higher ranks)
What mainman said about the rank distribution I totaly feel, Reached Mighty Ruler and it's killers only. But one rank below It already feels even again.
Man i can only dream of blue ranks, i struggle to stay in fricking yellow ranks 😅 and nowdays half of green/yellow ranks are just red ranks playing their secondaries.
everytime i see the shiro combo, i imagine the concept of leroy but every punch string you basicly need to do every input quickly. I think it would make him extremelly harder to use and be unique
I had always wondered why they made the Omega rank introduction also set your other characters back down to Ruler rank.. I remember the day that update came out and I was bitching about why my Gigas got demoted so far down until I realized EVERYONE got demoted lol
I remember just a year ago, having my highest character, Kazuya at Fujin put me in the top 6k playes on PC ranked. Then a few days ago before my data corrupted, he was at yaksa and wasnt even in top 10k. Ranked has gotten so sweaty.
@@daxia0 If you play the game like it's your job, and you're a natural, you could probably get close to this level (especially w/ all the knowledge out there nowadays). It'd be quite difficult, but I appreciate their resolve.
It might suck getting bodied as a legit Mighty Ruler and I might feel that way when I get there. However playing Lei the lower ranks are a bit frustrating as I struggle to play mind games with the opponent. You're building these horrible habits of going for lows 90% of the time because people just stand block. More often than not going for a mid results in me mixing myself up. I'm looking forward to getting my bullshit checked so I can actually develop proper strategy.
Steve has been a main of mine since Tekken 4 along with hwoworang probably butchered the spelling. But I've been stuck on fujin rank with Steve, hoping I can learn some new setups and mixups so I can rank up and get better
Hey TMM, could you make a Video about Josie? I feel like she has been buffed tremendously and could be in the Top20 atm. Would really appreciate it! Keep on with the videos, much love
I absolutely love tekken 7 and I wish I was decent I want to have a friend or someone teach and coach me on how to play so I too can at least have a tekken god
I think Every character should be like fujin, but I’m glad in ruler ranks we only take like 500 points from them because sometime I be feeling bad for new players, but I will say it’s some ppls fault they can’t rank up themselves but they sometimes don’t won’t to change their gameplay and adapt and blame everything on the game and everything else instead of getting better, that’s when u see players with 15k wins hard stuck in blue ranks
Jin, Kazuya and King are my fav character but Jin and Kazuya are very difficult to play. But still they can be fun and you learn the tekken fundamental with them. But my primary main is King, great fun of wrestlers.
Just 2 days ago returned after 2 years, and oh my god even starting from 1dan all the time against me smurfs and even who aren't they just pulling the wires after lose. Also waiting time now is quite big and even if game find an opponent most of them decline.
Hey TMM, please do a match against Heera Malik (the best steve player of PK). He's also looking to get some recognition so he can get into international competitions. Please give it a try if you have time!
@@berserker2.0 man I think he will manage cause he has been doing online matches for a while. But TMM can do great analysis at the end between him and Arslan.
I am pretty new to Tekken, just bought it like a week ago or so when it was on sale in steam (85%, so why not, lol). The strange ranked system was something I almost imediatly noticed and it is kinda annoying. But as I am not highly competitive it is ok for me I guess, happy for any round I might win, even when I lose the match. Still think it is better overall to change it and make other characters rank in a certain range from your highest ranked character. It is just more beginner friendly.
I play on both consoles and I pretty much stopped playing rank cause of people quitting or just me not playing against wifi on Ranked. I might start again cause of the recent update.
I think they should never match a person who got a Tekken God Omega on any character with someone who never reached it.. then again, the queues would probably last for ages
New to the game here. Can someone tell me if this is normal to be stuck at very low ranks ? I have something like 70-80 hours of training mode practice and maybe 30 hours of online playtime and I stuck to one char only so I know pretty much all of their combos at this point. But when I run into 1st Dan to Grand Master (the ranks i'm stuck at), I feel like they're way too good for their rank.
The lower ranks you pretty much fight other people who are new to new-ish to the game so button mashing is your best friend while also being theirs. You don't get past the button masher ranks until you enter the Red ranks then you have to start knowing Frame data a bit. Once you get to Ruler ranks you really have to know your shit or you will feel like your back were you started when you first got the game but only this time it's because your opponents know what they are doing with sidesteps, frames, and whiff punishes
@@dr.platinum2336 Yeah I figured out some new stuff lately so I'm not struggling as much as I used to. I should be able to reach the green ranks soon I hope. But I just don't understand how I come across so many players with like 10 wins and they barely drop any combos and seem to have actual knowledge of their character. Idk they just seem overally underranked. Was this game always like this ? I play on PC btw
he just can't wrap his head around ranked being super competitive 7 years after the game launched 😮💨🙄... and why does he always need to know who the opponent is like who cares just shut up and play the game scrupman

Ive been playing steve for a year ang im still not consistent with his fully optimize combos
I started with him in Tag 2 which is worse and now I don’t regret it at all.
@@yakisoba1816 been playing Steve for 2 weeks, can do all his combos consistent, even shiro is easy.
What the fuck you mean connected to his style?
Steve is still my fav character. His punches are da bomb.
Nah bro the Steve kick is where it's at
Ruler ranks was the most frustrating to rank up. One match was a shitty flowchart spammer and the next player was a TGO playing a sub. At least prowess gives everything away so you know what to expect.
Institutionalized smurfing if you ask me.

I am always struggling to keep blue ranks and drop back to ruler ranks, playing against people with like 400k prowess playing secondaries its crazy
I know the feeling, one bad day of rank will kill your whole mood 😂
Ik the system was never great but at this point I think it has more yo do with the game being out so long IMO.
Man i can only dream of blue ranks, i struggle to stay in fricking yellow ranks 😅 and nowdays half of green/yellow ranks are just red ranks playing their secondaries.
i like how tmm slowly becomes knee (knowing all chars in and out)

Phew. Ur reflexes are truly something else. I'm here for it 🤙🏿
I will someday be good enough to play a match with you. Give me 6 months. Super new to tekken
6 months is too short bro

If you are truly super new to Tekken
Maybe after 4 years you can have a chance
@@colevan11 treating this game like a job 40 hours a week will get you burned out of the game
Damn, Quake 2 Soundtrack in the back??? im in!

You should do video on fundamentals and training them or something
please that would be a good thing for me as a super scrub
Holy shit the fake TMMS spammer in the YT comment section
this bot is getting out of control lmao

I'm Tekken king Steve and I'm proud of that

Bro when did TMM start listening to Quake 2 music during matches. Like honestly Tekken 4 and Quake 2 were my life
You fought his Xiaoyu once playing on Bryan and made a video.
1:47 what is the theme song if anyone knows
Jin, Kazuya and King are my fav character but Jin and Kazuya are very difficult to play. But still they can be fun and you learn the tekken fundamental with them. But my primary main is King, great fun of wrestlers.
Yeah ranked is bs nowadays. Got matched with a Zafina in Divine Ruler, who later told me he was a tgo bryan
Today I legit saw a 167W Bob at Initiate

Steve GOAT Fox 🔥🔥🔥
I think MM gets matched with TGO’s playing subs because he is one too🙂

I was just playing Steve
Tmm has a underrated steve 👀
Whats the song that starts at 7:15? It goes hard
What if Steve had regenerative abilities like devil Kazuya? Kappa
Main man react to (NARAKA. Bruce lee trailer.) It will put u in the mood to do anything
Se tem Steve tem like😍👍🏻🇧🇷
Do you use sticks or arcade sticks ?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I agree a 💯 I just made yaksa with lars it was so hard in trying to get tekken king in ok with that rank any tips
Maoch de chorya e Steve ni.
I'm mighty ruler heihachi/alisa and this rank is wall for me, but maybe someday I will break it
Is it possible to learn tekken properly with just a keyboard?
Yeah imma stick to MKX
ranked really is hard i’m an orange rank kazuya with 700 wins
I think they should never match a person who got a Tekken God Omega on any character with someone who never reached it.. then again, the queues would probably last for ages
That Jin was awful ToT
How many games is a set btw? Like is there an etiquette or something?
Usually 3-5 games and in my experience only if you guys are like close in level resulting in super close games.
@@xxsomaa alright, thanks.
“158 wins and he’s already Raijin” yeah ok and what makes you be so sure he hasn’t played 3000 player matches before that ?

It's cuz they ran into a green rank who's too good for theirs, and so on

Imagine playin alisa
Song 11:00?
I want to do okay with this game but damn the movement feels like dog shit. Biggest scene in my area so it's unfortunate.
if I'm a new player is it beneficial for me to start out on ranked or the player matches?
As long as you are playing another person it's fine. Jusf avoid excessive time in practice mode or vs computer.
Ranked
6:04 totally disagree. If Jin counts as a Mishima than he is the most difficult, but Kaz has always felt ez mode compared to Dvj.
Are there any competitive players on console?
Na
@@Crimsongz damn lol
I wish I could see you go against my friend who claims his Steve is way better than yours maybe one day
Steve is just tmm's pocket character, ofc there would be Steve mains that's better than him but that doesnt mean tmm's Steve isn't strong
@@gabrielpanagsagan9741 I know I'd just like to see them fight
he just can't wrap his head around ranked being super competitive 7 years after the game launched 😮💨🙄... and why does he always need to know who the opponent is like who cares just shut up and play the game scrupman
From green to redrank only spawmer alisa negan bob law king its desgusting
