One thing I was just talking to myself about getting used to. You gon have highs and lows and I can’t always win. I have to remind myself that I’m human and I have to learn since this is my first Tekken and first fighting game I actually put HOURS into
I’m hardstuck in Flame Ruler… I fell all the way down to Tenryu yesterday and struggled my way back up before I just had to turn the game off and walk away. I need to remind myself that I’m not a professional and this is my first Tekken so it’s not like I’m never supposed to struggle against players that obviously put more time in this game. But damn if it doesn’t get annoying when I go on big losing streaks…
Imo if you play this game casually and you hit purple ranks then you're pretty fuckin good. I hit mighty ruler and I was satisfied to stop climbing there cuz I got way too sweaty and just wanna play quick match from now on til I feel like going back to ranked. Tekken with no consequences is always gonna be more fun
@@bandawin18 I feel you. My thing is when I run a bunch of quick matches I win more than lose. It starts to get to me after awhile when I think to myself, “think of all the points I would have if I was in ranked right now. I would probably be Fujin at this rate.” and then I’m quickly humbled by my own arrogance once I do jump back into ranked. Lol
@@Urlastnerve that's the problem, you gotta use quick matches to level up your gameplay and whenever you lose in ranked you gotta go look at the replay to see what you did wrong and how you could've won. It's especially helpful to turn on frame data, inputs, whatever to see which moves are punishable, which moves you could use as a punish, what to stop throwing out, etc. That's at least how I try to get better, but sometimes the opponent is just better and it's just a skill issue at the end of the day. Some characters just have better 50/50 mixups and you just guessed wrong. Nothing you can really do in that scenario but guess correctly next time
Yea ranked can be super brutal. I was halfway to getting promoted to Tekken God, then went on a losing streak which demoted me back to Bushin, then I had to grind my way back to Tekken Emperor. The prowess matchmaking (especially if you play with side characters) and losing streak deductions can really screw you over so quickly and take away days of progress in 15 minutes. The worst thing is that even if you get demoted, your prowess doesn't even go down which essentially makes your matches just as hard as before.
This hits home for real. I'm actually going through the same struggle right now. Trying to get back to Tekken King but I'm currently at Kishin. Though I haven't been playing for a couple months so I'm still trying to get back in the swing of things. Thank you for sharing this, Lotus!
I've hit this point too, albeit at a slightly lower rank (Raijin). I feel like once you start going into the blue ranks, the ability to pilot your own character very well is just expected instead of being the thing that carries you. Now I feel like I've hit a massive character knowledge wall, and it's honestly pretty daunting to climb over it.
Yeah… Blues have some great players in them, just cause they aren’t Tekken King don’t mean sometimes they don’t play like it, there is some killers on this game. Biggest thing is punish game, players play fast but use a lot of unsafe strings, especially Fujins
Honestly I wouldn't worry about it man. I was hard stuck in Fujin for the longest time. What helped me was taking week breaks and making small milestones. So eventually I went from Fujin to now God of Destruction. However you gotta realize no one is a perfect player and each loss sure sets you back, but look at it as something valuable to be learned. When I was tekken king I got demoted all the way down to Kishin because I wasn't using my characters strengths to my advantage. Had to climb up hardcore back to Tekken king. Some days I would say "let's try to get in the middle of the rank for this particular rank". If I did that I hit a milestone. Then would chill for a week. Then hit ranked again. Mental reset is everything. You play way better when you don't have a calm mind. Eventually I did this on and off and boom hit my end goal of GoD rank. However, my other point is just using your characters strengths to the best of your ability. For example Hwoarang is an aggressive hornet of a character. So playing him rushdown is essential. Where my main (Shaheen Main) excels at mix ups and mobility. Another thing that helps is knowing your frame punishes. Your 10f punish, 12f, 13f, 14f and 15f (typically always a launcher). Labbing a bit against characters is paramount though to understand this. Again I wouldn't worry about it. Create small milestones, take breaks, and explore neutral possibilities with your characters strengths.
@@slowmotion8731 blue ranks is about do you know your character better than the other person imo afterwards it's knowledge checks and picking safer moves for less punishment. Keep grinding you will get there 💪🏽
This game is indeed brutal. You have to be on it regularly to stay warm and keep up with the fast pace. Sometimes I just do practice and labbing. No online battles. Dive deeper on my character. Helps keep me sharp. For as brutal as the game can be, I wouldn’t change it. Tekken is a challenge I accept.
For me it’s kind of the opposite constant playing leads to mental fog you don’t see things clearly if you take a break then get back on it gets better you have better eyes and a renewed energy imo off course different for everyone
@@LuisGarcia-up4jm I 100% agree whenever I step back and take a break from the game it's like something in me just clicks and now I'm thinking more clearly and playing better.
Literally everything you are going through in this video i have been going through since the last update. Word for word, bar for bar. From the miss inputs to the feeling like there is something wrong with my controler, etc. I went from the top of Bushin down to Fujin. I play session and end the session back in the same spot. It feels like the player base has gotten significantly better or at least better against Hwoarang.
Going between fujin and battleruler constantly and have been doing it for like 2 months... one thing i have noticed is that most players i lose against, when i check their "skill map" the five star diagram that tells you your strenghts and weaknesses. Most people i lose against are below half of my "skill level" like they have 30-40 in defense, like 90 points in attack, and alot in style as well. The ones i win against have higher stats then me... i dont know how to interpret that but it makes me think that alot of the people i lose against have no idea what they are doing. I check the replay just to see what i could have done better and realize that there ia nothing. My opponent spams inputs so fast that within 10 seconds they have made enough inputs to finish the match 10 times over. In the middle of all that mashing there are perfect lowblocks, punishes and parrys. Which to me feels very strange. I dont think someone can accurately pick out 17 frames to blick a low when you have 300 other inputs coming out at the same time. The people with "higher skill" according to the chart doesnt even have close to the same i put spam and you can actually see the move they are doing. Not saying they are cheating, but im def sus about it.
I can definitely vouch for those ups and downs. Got up to battle ruler, then went through a slump that took me deep down to Shinryu. Just hit Fujin the other day, though. Sometimes we just gotta take a breather, analyze, and get back into it. I've also found that quick matches help with learning match ups greatly.
bro this my first tekken and I have been enjoying the hell out of it I hit tekken king then proceeded to get demoted all the way to fujin just got back to bushin but my mental been going through it been taking some time not playing the game and just watching better people play
Same bro, first tekken, i made it to bushin then BAM demoted back to fujin, then after maybe like 50hours i managed to get to tekken goddess supreme, ranked is sooo tough😢
I’ve been there homie it’s been especially frustrating trying to play Bryan and this being my first tekken. I remember going from kishin down to battle ruler in a matter of 2 days. But you’ll get back up there my boy.
I remember Inzem talking about something on stream a while back about a players flowchart. Your flowchart could be very strong by default, but the better the opponent, the less effective it is. Sometimes your opponent could be a natural counter to your flowchart like players who refuse to be conditioned Watching this made me think of that
I started Tekken 8 with Xiaoyu on PS5 Pad. I noticed a lot of misinputs that costed me rounds/matches as well. At first, I thought it was me but then I invested in a Razer Kitsune. My gaming experience has been much better. I also found out that my PS5 controller developed stick drift on the left stick, which was also causing issues. I've since switched to Zafina and went from being stuck at Tenryu to promoting to Kishin and I really believe I wouldn't have been able to do it on PS5 Pad. My main issue on Pad was doing FF, FFF inputs but getting an Up input instead.
I've been stuck at Tekken King and Emperor for a lil while now, so I definitely understand the grind. You lose so many points for losing when you get to higher ranks 😢
I was also stuck on Bushin for a bit (Yoshi Main since T7 S2) .... I slowed down my shenanigans and started incorporating a few more fundamentals and sprinkled in new shenanigans ..... at Tekken Emperor and climbing
Same. I've been stuck in purple for a while. Pretty much only get angry lately, and everyone knows queueing while tilted never goes well. Pretty sure i hate this game, but I still want to get better, even though it feels like I can't
And if you're right and people are going to spam Yoshi I probably should just quit. I genuinely hate everyone who plays him. Flash is the most busted shit ever
At these ranks the improvements are small cause of that deep skill level in competition. No more big leaps in rank. This is hardcore. This is Tekken. I accept.
So true. If you’ve been watching the Olympics, you know that greatness is only set by milliseconds sometimes. It’s these small details that make all the difference
Made my way to Garyu for the first time and was close to getting out of that ranked, then the next day it was just straight up losses after that. It was at the point where I thought fighting games weren’t for me at all. I just had to take a break, it was to the point I wasn’t having fun at all
Black Friday's coming up! I've been making it a thing to only buy new PS5 controllers during it. F-k paying $70 for a single controller. I plan on even buying 2 controllers this holiday season cause these things get drift or malfunction easily these days lmao.
There’s definitely an issue with the P5 controller eating inputs, I play DJ and sure there’s definitely some execution on my part but there’s no way I’m missing an input on ff2. Hori has a pad I’m thinking of getting
In my experience hori octa isn't great for mishimas because the d pad felt too stiff. I ended up using DS4 with a mayflash adapter. But your experience might be different from mine
@@aqibh180 momodawg seems to do well with it, willing to give it a shot because the way the remote is eating my inputs on promotion/demotion matches is crazy
Hey, I got demoted From Tekken King all the way down to Fujin and I fought and clawed my way back up to Tekken King. I will say however, there is definitely a different pool of players in the blue ranks compared to my first climb up to Tekken King. Everyone I would fight had a prowess of 250k+ But my fall from Royalty and my hard fought climb back up taught me a lot of valuable lessons.
To help solve your reverse sweep losses. Players tend to block more and play more safe when they are up. And attacking us so good that defense usually loses.
I'm hard stuck at Fujin. I hit Raijin, dropped down to Battle Ruler. I'm jumping back and forth between Fujin and Battle Ruler now. Not sure if using Kazuya is just another obstacle keeping me down, or what. I know I need character knowledge but I need people who want to learn to play properly. I'm game if other people are.
I'm currently back at Fujin from Kishin. I haven't played ranked in about 3 weeks because I'm trying to get to the point where when I hop back on ranked I don't lose to stuff I know I should beat. Learning more about the other characters (I play Feng) so when I hop back on ranked I'll have a better chance to at least get back to Kishin hopefully Bushin eventually soon enough
I also suffer from winning 2 and losing 3 in a row after. What I've noticed from me, and watching your gameplay kind of confirms as well, is that you get into a flow chart state when the first two rounds go well like that. And by the time you realize that they have adjusted to your flow chart, it kind of is too late. For instance, and I'm sorry but I don't know the Hworang notations, but you did a low high kick combo 3 times even though the person ducked all 3 times. Thats a habit I have as well and I'm trying to break it.
You could adjust the sensitivity of your D-pad based on the how the mis-inputting is happening. Like when I enter back but the output is up-back, then I would adjust up-back to be less sensitive. That worked for me anyway.
Hard stuck at it Kishin myself. I usually end my day with ranking back up to it and feeling pretty good, knowing that the next day I’m going to do the same thing 😂.
Tekken King is rough, because you need a very specific level to climb after that. It’s quite common for people to hit TK and demote to the bottom of blue.
Finally sat down and played ranked. Hit orange yesterday. I have a feeling I’m going to be hard stuck soon. That last yellow rank took forever to get out of lol
tbh for me i was bouncing around multiple ranks before i caught my stride with this game. i once dropped from bushin to fujin but the next day i went all the way up to tekken king. tbh when you have a bad day you just gotta know when to call it cuz youre not playing like you usually do. im now like 2 games off tekken god but i think ranked is all over the place
Even the best players in any sport have slumps. We’re all human. I’ve been Flame Ruler demoted back to Tenryu, went up to Battle Ruler and now back at Flame Ruler.
i've been waffling between Kishin and Tekken King like no ones business, so i feel you on a spiritual level my brother. At one point i almost dipped back to Fujin
No way you calling Lee corny playing hwoarang Lee is by far the swaggiest character in this game it’s all in his cadence and in real life I got that shit who ain’t got no style ?🤣
I would definitely suggest taking a break when you feel like a slump is going on. Would also suggest getting a new co troller of you feel like the execution errors are becoming too frequent
I been hard stuck at flame ruler for about 2 months now dam near it’s tough on ranked everytime I fight against a blue rank a third of my bar is dam near gone and I gotta start back from the middle of the bar again it’s really annoying and I get so frustrated I just get off because I know if I play pissed off imma keep getting demoted so hopefully when I get back from this like week or two break I can hit battle ruler
I promoted from Garyu all the way to Battle Ruler in the past 4 Days. Just mash bs and plug when you’re about to lose. Easy and efficient. Not worth being stuck in flame ruler for months, reward yourself.
The rank mode isn’t fun for me anymore. I don’t mind losing rank because I keep losing. I just have issues with winning 5 matches in a row but then lose one match and lose all the progress I made. This game is just a place order for Sparking Zero at this point.
As a Reina main and only Reina player I can't get past Fujin to save my life, i can be halfway to Raijin, lose 1 game and already be at demotion risk lol, shit is tough af.
Man, watching you play on PS5 makes me kinda sad that one of those cost over twice my monthly wage.😭 Anyway, I know how it feels to get stuck like that. I got hard stuck in Plat 1 with Cammy in SF6. I'm playing Akuma now and I'm slowly climbing. Edit: I for one hate Lee ever since I met him in Tekken 5.
I'm also stuck between Kishin and bushin😂 way too many knowledge checks that I'm not prepared for. Hella characters with a million options🤣 game is mad hard
The rank system needs a overhaul. I have physically hurt myself getting to Raijin in the process. I feel like Tekken ranked took 10 years of my life in 6 months.
Lotus bro no cap i stopped playing ranked when i reached fujin months ago i stay in quick match lol but when i do touch rank here and there i take a mental break
At this point, I feel like it's probably worth your time, money, and mental health to learn/commit to using a new peripheral. The rate at which the ds5 pad is fucking you over is insane.
Dude im on my worst cold streak. I got to Mighty ruler then got demoted, then demoted again and now im just going back and forth between Shiryu and Tenryu
Do you feel like you've still had a wide range of opponents in higher ranks? I watched someone in the Tekken King to Tekken God rank play the same person for like 3 sets out of 10
The fact that you can get hard stuck and get almost non stop losses over and over and over again and that when you lose, you lose tons of xp, proves that the games ranked is both unfair and unbalanced.
T8 is my first Tekken game so i need to learn a match up A LOT i learn by playing a lot of character Never got pass Raijin but got 240k powress from labing n shiz now i have to match with TRUE 240-350k player all the time im tilted asf, felt like i was punished for trying to be better in this game big sadge
I’m not gonna lie I’ve been stuck inbetween Ganryu and Shinryu and it’s so annoying seeing demotion match every other day and then I win and lose back and forth
Azucena main here I have touch might ruler and been demoted down to eliminator now I’m on 10 plus win streak and back up to shinryu I’m scared I’m bout to meet some ungodly Jin or kazuya to humble me back down
Its incredibly crazy how mental this game is. You can go on a 10 win streak one day and next day lose 2-3 ranks.
One thing I was just talking to myself about getting used to. You gon have highs and lows and I can’t always win. I have to remind myself that I’m human and I have to learn since this is my first Tekken and first fighting game I actually put HOURS into
@@Trespacd same brother 💪🏽 im happy i even got to fujin on my first fg ever❤️ still got much more to learn

Black Friday's coming up! I've been making it a thing to only buy new PS5 controllers during it. F-k paying $70 for a single controller. I plan on even buying 2 controllers this holiday season cause these things get drift or malfunction easily these days lmao.
There’s definitely an issue with the P5 controller eating inputs, I play DJ and sure there’s definitely some execution on my part but there’s no way I’m missing an input on ff2. Hori has a pad I’m thinking of getting
Same here ... once ur at the wall I ff2 but only f2 comes out ... so now I just down 1 for same effect
In my experience hori octa isn't great for mishimas because the d pad felt too stiff. I ended up using DS4 with a mayflash adapter. But your experience might be different from mine
@@aqibh180 momodawg seems to do well with it, willing to give it a shot because the way the remote is eating my inputs on promotion/demotion matches is crazy
You can’t keep dissing Lee like that bro😭
Hey, I got demoted From Tekken King all the way down to Fujin and I fought and clawed my way back up to Tekken King. I will say however, there is definitely a different pool of players in the blue ranks compared to my first climb up to Tekken King. Everyone I would fight had a prowess of 250k+ But my fall from Royalty and my hard fought climb back up taught me a lot of valuable lessons.
To help solve your reverse sweep losses. Players tend to block more and play more safe when they are up. And attacking us so good that defense usually loses.
And see. Thats why I peaked at Rajin with Steve. And any Steve player that’s new to Tekken knows that it ain’t easy for us man.
I'm hard stuck at Fujin. I hit Raijin, dropped down to Battle Ruler. I'm jumping back and forth between Fujin and Battle Ruler now. Not sure if using Kazuya is just another obstacle keeping me down, or what. I know I need character knowledge but I need people who want to learn to play properly. I'm game if other people are.
I went from Tekken King all the way back down to Raijin. It’s just a part of tightening up those loose parts of your gameplay
I'm currently back at Fujin from Kishin. I haven't played ranked in about 3 weeks because I'm trying to get to the point where when I hop back on ranked I don't lose to stuff I know I should beat. Learning more about the other characters (I play Feng) so when I hop back on ranked I'll have a better chance to at least get back to Kishin hopefully Bushin eventually soon enough
I also suffer from winning 2 and losing 3 in a row after. What I've noticed from me, and watching your gameplay kind of confirms as well, is that you get into a flow chart state when the first two rounds go well like that. And by the time you realize that they have adjusted to your flow chart, it kind of is too late. For instance, and I'm sorry but I don't know the Hworang notations, but you did a low high kick combo 3 times even though the person ducked all 3 times. Thats a habit I have as well and I'm trying to break it.
You could adjust the sensitivity of your D-pad based on the how the mis-inputting is happening. Like when I enter back but the output is up-back, then I would adjust up-back to be less sensitive. That worked for me anyway.
Bruh how do you do that where’s the setting for that in game?
Hard stuck at it Kishin myself. I usually end my day with ranking back up to it and feeling pretty good, knowing that the next day I’m going to do the same thing 😂.
I'm in the same boat. It's been kinda slow with matches. I need to play more matches, but like where I live is like a match desert.
Tekken King is rough, because you need a very specific level to climb after that. It’s quite common for people to hit TK and demote to the bottom of blue.
Finally sat down and played ranked. Hit orange yesterday. I have a feeling I’m going to be hard stuck soon. That last yellow rank took forever to get out of lol
tbh for me i was bouncing around multiple ranks before i caught my stride with this game. i once dropped from bushin to fujin but the next day i went all the way up to tekken king. tbh when you have a bad day you just gotta know when to call it cuz youre not playing like you usually do. im now like 2 games off tekken god but i think ranked is all over the place
Even the best players in any sport have slumps. We’re all human. I’ve been Flame Ruler demoted back to Tenryu, went up to Battle Ruler and now back at Flame Ruler.
Yo I've been peeping some of vids and I like your content!
The point system makes it a little difficult in Tekken too.
bros gonna be in blue till he 90
Yeap. I can see knowledge gaps against characters. And some bad habits on him. But if he practise on that he can get out of that.
i've been waffling between Kishin and Tekken King like no ones business, so i feel you on a spiritual level my brother. At one point i almost dipped back to Fujin
Bro same 😭😭
No way you calling Lee corny playing hwoarang Lee is by far the swaggiest character in this game it’s all in his cadence and in real life I got that shit who ain’t got no style ?🤣
MARVELOUS
As a rajin steve i know the feeling, feels like sometimes there's a mental block but its my first fighting game and i will overcome it
I would definitely suggest taking a break when you feel like a slump is going on. Would also suggest getting a new co troller of you feel like the execution errors are becoming too frequent
Big-ups Sin! He is from my locals here in The Netherlands and he is crazy good!
“FATHERRRRRR!!!” ahhh thumbnail
I also had the same issue with a new ps5 pad. The dpad feels too stiff compared to my old one.
9:35 i bought the hori commander fighting octa just so i would kil my dualsense 5 😂😂
Trunks really is going through it out here trying to save his future through Tekken. #roadtolikingeveryLotusvideo
I been hard stuck at flame ruler for about 2 months now dam near it’s tough on ranked everytime I fight against a blue rank a third of my bar is dam near gone and I gotta start back from the middle of the bar again it’s really annoying and I get so frustrated I just get off because I know if I play pissed off imma keep getting demoted so hopefully when I get back from this like week or two break I can hit battle ruler
I promoted from Garyu all the way to Battle Ruler in the past 4 Days. Just mash bs and plug when you’re about to lose. Easy and efficient.
Not worth being stuck in flame ruler for months, reward yourself.
The rank mode isn’t fun for me anymore. I don’t mind losing rank because I keep losing.
I just have issues with winning 5 matches in a row but then lose one match and lose all the progress I made.
This game is just a place order for Sparking Zero at this point.
As a Reina main and only Reina player I can't get past Fujin to save my life, i can be halfway to Raijin, lose 1 game and already be at demotion risk lol, shit is tough af.
I was like 2 to 3 wins away from Tekken King, and lost every game till Fujin 💀 Next day back to Kishin and now I'm stuck again
I like the stage a lot.
Llamas

Man, watching you play on PS5 makes me kinda sad that one of those cost over twice my monthly wage.😭
Anyway, I know how it feels to get stuck like that. I got hard stuck in Plat 1 with Cammy in SF6. I'm playing Akuma now and I'm slowly climbing.
Edit: I for one hate Lee ever since I met him in Tekken 5.
Your monthly wage is $150?
I’m hard stuck too around the same ranks as you, I’ve actually fought you before and we had a pretty good match 😃
I'm also stuck between Kishin and bushin😂 way too many knowledge checks that I'm not prepared for. Hella characters with a million options🤣 game is mad hard
Tekken prowess after Bushin is what hoed me. I hope they change it with demotions in the future
You could try the hori fighting commander. Same price as a ps5 controller, so not a bank breaker
Sin put us yoshi mains on the map but since launch, i been seeing more and more especially after i switched to eddy from yoshi
dawg i just subbed to you. your intro is FLCL inspired im sure
The rank system needs a overhaul. I have physically hurt myself getting to Raijin in the process. I feel like Tekken ranked took 10 years of my life in 6 months.
I'm hardstuck too and been stuck since like S3 of tekken 7. So don't feel too bad
The yoshi uprise is crazy cause he’s been my favorite character since Soul Calibur 2 now i see a lot of ppl using him and he’s actually top tier
My last ranked sesh I face 6 yoshis, needless to say I was mentally fatigued after lol
@@yoderr24 I pray for a swift recovery, and that you have a great tekken session afterwards
Lotus bro no cap i stopped playing ranked when i reached fujin months ago i stay in quick match lol but when i do touch rank here and there i take a mental break
At this point, I feel like it's probably worth your time, money, and mental health to learn/commit to using a new peripheral. The rate at which the ds5 pad is fucking you over is insane.
Are you still using the leverless bro?
Ngl to keep myself from rusting, I play 2-3 matches a day if I have time. So, when I have the day to myself it ain’t that bad to go through ranks
Dude im on my worst cold streak. I got to Mighty ruler then got demoted, then demoted again and now im just going back and forth between Shiryu and Tenryu
Can we play on psn or add in the lounge so we can play matches
@@kwaheri466 im on xbox but its cross play so it doesnt matter we would just go to lounge. But ye i can add u, do u have discord?
Do you feel like you've still had a wide range of opponents in higher ranks? I watched someone in the Tekken King to Tekken God rank play the same person for like 3 sets out of 10
I’m stuck too. I hit Fujin then got demoted to mighty ruler , got back up to battle ruler now I’m stuck there … 😓
Whip out that haute42 brother, make those inputs crispy!!
I fought 4 different Yoshis in a row after 2 weeks of no tekken and I immediately felt discouraged to continue. Its just baffling what I see.
The fact that you can get hard stuck and get almost non stop losses over and over and over again and that when you lose, you lose tons of xp, proves that the games ranked is both unfair and unbalanced.
Fr Sins Yoshi was absolutely awesome
Same for me with kazuya. Its rough in blue
T8 is my first Tekken game so i need to learn a match up A LOT
i learn by playing a lot of character
Never got pass Raijin but got 240k powress from labing n shiz
now i have to match with TRUE 240-350k player all the time
im tilted asf, felt like i was punished for trying to be better in this game big sadge
I’m not gonna lie I’ve been stuck inbetween Ganryu and Shinryu and it’s so annoying seeing demotion match every other day and then I win and lose back and forth
Azucena main here
I have touch might ruler and been demoted down to eliminator now I’m on 10 plus win streak and back up to shinryu I’m scared I’m bout to meet some ungodly Jin or kazuya to humble me back down
Bruh rank shit is stressful 😣 I’ve decided to go to the hyperbolic chamber and stay as long as Vegeta did in hopes of surpassing Goku….
Hahaha
I have been stuck in the 1300-1500 MR range with ED and today my damn dpad started being stuck in one direction screwing with my play many times over
I'm tekken king right now so I knw how you feel on it, it's getting more an more crazy in tekken 8
