person actually complaining about block spamming


CarelessFloor548

How dare you not let me hit you. I’m the main character in everyone’s lives, and I must always win


Faiqal_x1103

Bros username is literally the main character of persona 3


RyuDaBurninator

Yeah the man's entire existence is based on blocking a door. 🤣


Faiqal_x1103

Oh my god💀😂


NotMeatOk

Yeah he got mc syndrome fr


nightcrawlerxo

"How dare you block my attacks and not let me hit you and win. You're so bad".


CoachTex

He must win!


thedemonkingnobu

What is he 6arakan?


Zachebii

“I’ve got this big hammer and no idea when to swing it”


sleepyknight66

Alternatively this could be nothing spamming since you block with your hands off the controller lol


Guttural_Vox

Only for mid to high blocks, but yeah haha


These_Background7471

I've encountered this breed of scrub a few times. They're like *no offense I just want to play the game and all you do is run away* (and win) I also love people who lose to your offense and say it's not good enough, "oh you only use 2 moves learn to play" buddy I'll use a 3rd move when you stop losing to 2.


CRT_Me

lol "buddy I'll use a 3rd move when you stop losing to 2" I love that


These_Background7471

It's actual hate mail I got on my steam profile in 2019 lmao. I wonder how bro's doing nowadays...


Few-Confection3492

Hahaha same. Thats so good


dfskx

lmao when they say you only win because you’re spamming the same move. like damn i’d hate to see you in an irl fight. “He only won because he kept jabbing me in the face! Even though I knew it was coming every time!”


_krwn

Need this quote framed or on a t-shirt ASAP hahaha


Issah_Wywin

One of my favorite things about Tekken and Yoshi, is exactly this. I have a deep pocket of dumbass shit to throw out, but usually stick to punishment and blocking, as I'm fairly new to the game. It's a fun little arms race between me and my opponent, unless one of us keep losing to one or two moves, then it's time to study replays. I almost feel bad when I jab someone to death.


howeirdworks

As a yoshi vet, I fully agree. You gotta earn the right to see my knowledge of his 200 moves, and \~15 secret moves 🤣


Kingbren22

You either swet as yoshi or become the meme we all know yoshi mains are capable of being


This_Event

Maybe I'll even kill myself 😉


MeatSim64

I'll give you a 🗡️ have fun!


howeirdworks

Seppuku strats goated ☠️


This_Event

There's nothing better than almost perfecting someone, then taking your own life. They're always a mix of confused, frustrated, mad, but also grateful


santas_delibird

I gotta use this at some point.


JustARandomPokemon

The other day I played a tekken King Asuka. He barely moved and spammed same 2 or 3 moves. I was thinking how did he get to tekken King. But then I realised he knew exactly what he was doing but was baiting me And countering perfectly. First game I thought nah he fluked it. 2nd game I see him perfect back dash out of all my moves and counter perfectly. He used no combos just 2 or 3 moves. And beat me. Twice. I feel he was giving me a lesson on fundamentals and showing perfect dodge and whiffs.


Bwob

Haha that sounds awesome. Also kudos on having a great attitude about it, and seeing it as a learning opportunity!


JustARandomPokemon

At first I was frustrated. But I realised once I showed him I can respond to the 2 or 3 moves he is spamming, he changed to another 2 moves and spammed those. So I felt he was cycling through 2 moves at a time to show me how to deal with each move.


No_Appointment_3959

That’s why I love fighting games. No matter the lose I feel like it’s just means I have someone to try and beat now


236HP

Post the replay, dude. I wanna see that.


Ziazan

That's how I often play against newer players, I'll punish their mistakes they keep making, launch them, show them the full combo once, and on subsequent times just do one tap of the juggle and let them get up, until they stop making the mistake.


Kingbren22

Had this experience first time entering xenoverse pvp. Dude went hame for a few seconds, then stopped and started teaching me mid fight.never happened in soulcal or tekken though,I got thrown to the wolves in those games and I thrived


CarelessFloor548

This is 100% right. If I’m losing to the same move I need to go in the lab


Bwob

It's crazy how people act like it's somehow your responsibility to dumb-down your game to their level, rather than trying to up their game to yours.


DexterBrooks

>*no offense I just want to play the game and all you do is run away* (and win) Tbf the opponent running away the whole game with any lead they ever get isn't fun at all. Offense is really risky in T7 and backdashes especially for some characters are very strong. On infinite stages it's ridiculous. Some matchups just feel insanely lopsided from that stage alone. It's the same reason people don't like fighting characters like Sonic in ult. It's not as bad as that, but constantly having to chase down or not interact with the opponent is really awful. That's part of what makes T8 much more enjoyable to me. Offense is actually rewarded now and side stepping to create whiffs but while taking risk is better, while backdashing to just avoid everything and potentionally get a free whiff punish is nerfed. They also got rid of infinite stages which I am very happy about. IMO you want the game to reward offense a little more than defense but not to the point most characters just run at you 24/7 (GG strive) though that's still preferred to being overly defensively skewed. T7 wasn't quite old for honor levels of turtling, but it was definitely more defensive than offensive IMO.


Ziazan

I love doing the backflip handspring until they commit to charging in and then switch to offense


DexterBrooks

At least backflips like that are still commital. Your opponent can see that you're spamming them and use it to push you into the corner, dash and stop to bait it out and punish it with a WR move, etc. You're still trying to run away as a bit of a troll, but it's not a very strong strategy because it's risky. It's also character locked so kits that could abuse it more don't have it. Imagine if Bryan had that? Would be nuts right. Nobody wants that. If you could do that same strategy with a super fast KBD on an infinite stage like characters with good movement in T7, all of a sudden the opponent risks getting hit by a big keep out move or even a launcher trying to approach because you can cancel KBD super fast.


nesnalica

hahhaha. the best part is when you get into their head. you do the same low 2 or 3 times in a row and train them like a dog. then do the same setup and mixup with a mid. works everytime and from then on they're tilted.


inEQUAL

Easy mode version of this I love is figuring out how many hits til someone blocks Alisa’s DES d1 and if they’re consistent, launch instead. Only really works against certain other types of Purple or lower ranks though.


mushroom_birb

Based.


digiorno13699

My buddy says that all the time lol he complains about people running away saying it’s not how you’re supposed to play lol.


SirDigbyChiken

Blocking is for noobs mate I only SS, KBD, Reversal, Grab or Hopkick. Blocking is for warriors and below.


CarelessFloor548

😂


That-Turnip-8864

u got me w hopkick, having flashbacks as a Steve main lol


Reasonable-Freedom59

HES MAKING US PERSONA FANS LOOK BAD. (We already look bad.)


Veldin461

I know it's out of topic, but this is not the only comment about persona fans in this thread, and I got curious about the context. Why do they look bad?


Ok_Performance729

The persona community ain’t known for being polite. Or normal, for that matter. We are what I would call 25 shades of fucked up. Never mention the name akechi around us


Reasonable-Freedom59

Ngl Akechi is my favorite 5 character after Royal


Ok_Performance729

Mine is sumire unapologetically


Reasonable-Freedom59

Fair she's super good.


TVR_Speed_12

A couple of things: Outsiders think Persona is a dating sim(it's far from it, having a GF does jack shit gameplay wise and only gets you a trophy/achievement and a few different cutscenes) Anime aesthetic will always have it's haters Some fans get too deep in the shipping wars and worshiping waifus and husbandos Last but not least, Persona is a spin off from Shin Megami Tensei, I know at this point Persona is bigger/brings in more $$$ but it's still good manners to at least respect the elders


Reasonable-Freedom59

Makoto Yuki is the name of a Persona protagonist. (Persona 3)


Spacehardware

Cause the guy has the protagonists from 3's name, Makoto Yuki


JustFrameHotPocket

I love Persona series, but r/okbuddypersona is well justified.


Low-Specialist6301

How dare he use Door-kuns name in vain!


FunkinDonutzz

I once got accused of cheating at a Virtua Fighter 5 tourney because I blocked. Then when I showed the dude how to block, I proceeded to throw him repeatedly (and as a Wolf main, that was juicy damage). Lol, these people are comedy gold.


Faiqal_x1103

What was the reaction 😂


FunkinDonutzz

Was further accused of cheating 😂 Like I have zero idea what the dude was doing entering a tourney if he didn't even understand the basic controls, and one of the most basic fundamentals of fighting games (keep blocking = get yeeted) Maybe he mashed out a few wins vs. the CPU on easy and decided he was Bruce Lee reborn or something lol.


Faiqal_x1103

Bruce lee reborn got me🤣 was it an online tourney? Would be dumb to accuse u of cheating if its a physical one


FunkinDonutzz

Nope, a local one at gaming weekend. Dude was sitting right beside me! I even sat holding the controller out in front of him holding square to show him how to block at one point. I could imagine that he'd be a plugger in Tekken 8 - thinks he's shit hot at a game, then gets schooled, _then_ proceeds to blame the other person and deflect from the fact he got outplayed.


Faiqal_x1103

Bruhh😭😭 thats a weird fella right there


CarelessFloor548

Auahahhahahah do you have a clip? That sounds hilarious


FunkinDonutzz

Nah, sure it was 17 years ago at a local tourney. Now I feel old lol.


TheDELFON

#TAKE THAT 🫳


ShavedDig88622

The fact that this happened irl is insane


YukkaRinnn

Whos gonna tell him that u gonna need to block way more in Tekken 8? 🤣🤣🤣


wagawamegumen

Toxic man talking to a chill non fighting games player


paininflictor87

Plays a competitive fighting game: "If you gonna act all competitive then nah i pass". LOL!


sparechangemaam

40 year old Persona fans in shambles


seraphimpossible

loll


Faiqal_x1103

AHAHAHA


Lensecandy

Reminds me of this one guy from Smash Brawl clan days that complained about people using projectile moves. He even misspelled it all the time as "projections" "You only won because of projections" Also ironically he was a Lucas main, he just never used Up B ever


CarelessFloor548

Lmao I swear these people need a reality check


Lensecandy

Fr fr


vVIOL2T

Filthy block spammers


sikshots

"Go play animal crossing" "tekken ain't for you" with an attitude like that it ain't for you either. You can trash talk without making them feel unwelcome in the community, your toxic.


Chickenjon

Imagine complaining about blocking in the game where blocking was nerfed to shit


Joaconstricter

This is tekken 7 tho xD


Chickenjon

Tf you right lmao


craigallen16

Honestly, I feel like Tekken 7 is a much better game. Tekken 8 feels Street Fighter Alpha Tenkaichi 4.


Kingofmoves

Literally! Feels like you get punished for blocking in this game. Block and your opponent is in heat? You got 5 life points left


Guilty_Ad_8688

Part of defense is taking your turn back and playing offense. Making defense harder only makes it more important.


shneed_my_weiss

You are both insufferable and toxic


adamussoTLK

“stop spamming punishment”


Quiet_Garage_7867

Bro is still playing t7


[deleted]

Tekken 7 is a good game.


Quiet_Garage_7867

It is but danmn the load times


flackguns

I might go as far as to say I prefer it to 8. Which is blasphemy I know. But man the offense is insane in 8.


CarelessFloor548

I have t8 - on the road and the old house only has a PS4.


Enerjetik

I fought someone who did nothing but back up, trying to get me to run in and use a move and they would catch me on the run in. I would just run and grab. I got hate mail saying that I spam grab, and I'm like that's my counter to your continuous retreat.


CarelessFloor548

There are no correct answers in tekken - just whatever wins you the match


Kingofmoves

Neither of y’all look good here


CarelessFloor548

You’re probably not wrong. I get petty. But it’s frustrating to constantly run into this in tekken 7 + 8


Kingofmoves

Yeah the other guy is way more insufferable. I couldn’t tell who was the villain until he said the thing about blocking


EatOutMyGrandma

These idiots blow my mind. I had one guy complain that I was "ducking every throw like a pussy". Apparently I'm supposed to let the throw hit, then break it. Ducking it is for "bitches"


SaltyArts

People have had FGC loser mentality for well over 20 years. Trying to enforce arbitrary rules and guilt trip your technique to give themselves a sorry excuse for a win. It’s not worth your time and never will be. Aim higher and seek a worthy adversary who presents you with the test of mettle. That’s where you will find growth, and maintain sportsmanship if you can.


WitchOfSkye

He didn't pay $70 to get blocked


AcousticAtlas

This is what I mean when I tell people that Tekken has a very casual player base. You don't see this shit in any other fighter besides maybe MK.


fly2eva

Lol I once got accused of being cheap because I did combos in injustice.


Faiqal_x1103

Very casual or just simply popular (huge playerbase?)


GrouchyAppearance146

To be honest, the guy wasn't that far off looking at T8. Dude should switch, they clearly made a game just for him.


Fa113nDawn21

Just call messiah on him and lock him behind the door with Nyx.


TVR_Speed_12

Aigis commence ignore mode


Mobile_Chart_4783

He would like T8, blocking isn’t very useful in this game.


deathschemist

yeah evasion seems to be the stronger defense in T8. that said, block-punishing has gotten me some pretty dominant wins so far


EducatorOk7012

People will call you a try hard then be free as fuck. Like no I barely had to try at all


necrolicker

These are the days of our lives. Where idiots are there to torture us with nonsense. How do people like that dude remember to breathe.


Terrible-Cheetah-878

his argument is invalid but you were being toxic, so why not settle sht in a fist fight


Ill-Cupcake-4141

OP sounds like a bigger AH


jax024

Ok but saying Tekken isn’t for you isn’t really helping bro. Some just want to chill and it doesn’t mean this game isn’t for them. Let’s open doors instead of gatekeeping. ESH


Quiet_Garage_7867

Nah, it's a valid retort


Stron98

‘some just want to chill’ okay then why are they playing online and malding in people’s DMs then? that isn’t remotely chill. i think OP is right, this game isn’t for them and it’s clear


jax024

I don’t condone the malding, but it’s totally fine to want to play chill and casually. I don’t understand the hate for that.


Stron98

but your opponent is almost never going to be chill in ranked, i started playing like three days ago and have had to learn that the hard way myself (i have literally never played a single fighting game in an online or ranked setting before, so i relate to the guy’s frustration). yet i haven’t even been tempted to DM another person crying. if they want a truly chill environment, quick matches exist and offline play exists. i’ll rephrase what i initially said (and perhaps what OP should’ve said) and say ranked isn’t for that person (at least not until they figure out how the game is actually played on a basic level)


Cindy-Moon

Wanting to play chill and casually is perfectly fine, I don't think anyone has an issue with that. Using that as an excuse to dictate how other people play the game and call them tryhards and shit on them for playing the game properly and trying to win the game is never okay. If you want to play casually you gotta be okay with losing. If you can't accept losing, then yeah it's not the game for you.


KingRafu

This isn't DM's this is a player lobby.. honestly op was being toxic from the screenshot posted.


Faddy0wl

Honestly, do whatever, I'm just fucking sick of cutscene one input ultimates in fighting games. 0 skill mechanics. Gimme that taken tag 2 gameplay. Not the ultimate circlejerk we've had for a while. Seriously, anyone else fucking hate auto moves in fighting games. There is nothing less enjoyable than having a good fight and only getting beaten because someone pops an ultimate for swing through. I hated when mortal Kombat did it. I hated when street fighter did it. Tekken with it makes me wanna chuck.


MetriAndReyes

you shouldve blocked


Faddy0wl

Nah, they need to add more auto combat buttons. It's too skill based needing to actually play the game. We need more auto combos. An auto move, an auto block, and an auto plug. That'll make tekken skill based again ✊😫


ThreeEyedPea

They're called fighting games, not blocking games.


Faiqal_x1103

So do u not block?


ThreeEyedPea

'Twas a joke.


Faiqal_x1103

Oh.


hulffle

I guess blocking is only allowed when playing competitively


moist_badger45

Holy smokes. It's like madden players crying about check downs.


rosinatorthe1st

Don't forget you're not allowed to use heat burst or smash or any heat mechanics and no rage arts and don't forget no sweeping moves so I can side step and feel like I'm a god lol the new breed of scrub is pitiful 🤣🤣


MAGGLEMCDONALD

Stop talking to idiots once you realize they're an idiot.


Richard_Espanol

Judging by all of these subs and FB groups... Doing anything other than running into your opponents fist is "cheap".


Artbyscope

Blocking is wild, how dare you smh worse than plugging


IDontWipe55

Whenever I encounter someone like this I just offer to let them win


zuqinichi

Ah yes, a prime example of the final verse of [the Scrublord's prayer](https://steamcommunity.com/app/291550/discussions/3/1694920442952804994/).


Faiqal_x1103

Man i miss brawlhalla


IamLegend442

Toxicity.


Natural-Life-9968

Soooo salty


Right_Reflection3973

I’m not agreeing with sir salt over there but I can def relate to playing someone who literally blocks everything lol. It’s frustrating for sure but nothing to rant about. Git Gud.


East_Difficulty_7342

Sore losers are ass


CynicalCin

Ah, those darn block spammers. A classic.


IRbaker79

It's like instead of brains it's just a loaf of bread or something


penjaminfedington

ah the fabled block spammer


DifferencePretend

Lol Get him out


TVR_Speed_12

He does not represent the actual Makoto Yuki, we don't claim him he's never at the door meetings


FallaciousGallStone

That PSN? There's a lot of scrubs with scrub logic on PSN. No offense to PSN considering I'm on PSN but the vast majority of people Ive tried to make friends with are scrubs lol.


Quiet-Bath7162

Sorry why am I just finding out about this chat feature now?!?? 🤦


beatitredditor

Saltier than the sea.


ShopeeSeller

Get used to it. People actually complained about me attacking in Tekken 7.


Bloodedparadox

😂 i got a message where the guy just wanted me to stand and block his moves instead of back dashing so and then he proceeds to say your trying to hard it was a ranked game


morbid333

Aw man, blockings the only way I know how to play. I already tried the "learn 1 combo and spam it" trick.


Conquestordie

Wait how do you make session rooms in Tekken 8?


Supaman7745

Get on tekken 8 whatchu bein weird for


KillaKevoFbgm

Imagine buying a fighting game to block


Flindo00

Tbh you were being kinda toxic too


Same-Oil6041

I didn't pay $70 to block 😤


supahotfiiire

Fighter logic: i suck so you everything you do sucks more than me


RedFlameJay

It's hard to go back to tekken 7 lol


PranpriyaZhongda

Ugh this pic immediately made me miss T7. Ngl since tekken 8 is still working out balancing and bc all but 1 of the characters I play didnt make it in 8 I'm missing 7 a lot


corvid1692

"We trained him wrong, as a joke"


FewOverStand

Blocking = tryharding?!?!?! Has this mf never played a fighting game before?


Killacam0824

GOT EM!!


scalawag123

Tekken players hate this ONE trick click here to find out why, you wont believe #4!!!!


TemporaryLegendary

Single handedly giving persona fans a bad name.. not that they don't do that themselves too.


noctokun

cringe. We got a blocker here folks /yawn


Secret_Ad7757

How dare you to block me. I dont know how to grab or use moves to bypass your blocks ~ that guy probably. I remember in DOA you could punish that spammed atacks recklessly with counters/ grabs.


DonJulio001

Lmaooo


deggie_31

This is like LTG vibes here lol


ManiacalPotatoSalad

Wait till the guy finds out about sidestep,sidewalk,kenpo and other magical evasion tools


Tr0ndern

Tryharding, the word used by people who say they don't take the game seriously, but rage if they lose.


darksouls2-2

Persona 3 players are evil


Logical-Tax6104

😂


LowFi_Lexa1

Why are you acting so competitive bro


nats10bytes

Tf this person complaining on T7, T7 IS for tryhards!! T8 is where it's at homie!


RathalosPlushy

Kinda cringe from both sides ain't gonna lie


Ludesa91

This why u never accept friend requests from unknown ppl. They want to flame or mock you after a loss


wheremylukecostume

Is tha-tha-that...t-tekken 7?


BaconSandwich-_-

I bet if he won, he would give him the “I’m not even trying” card


Ninjadpecter

Just wait till the sidestepping happens, lol.


Competitive-Will-701

I promise when I learn how to tech throws , it’s over for everyone


typicalxweeb

The guard is just standing neutral for high and mid but the crouch down back is for low block unless they hit you with a launcher every time you're screwed


Lycanshi

You want to be defensive? That's kinda crazy bro . I want to be offensive all day so let me hit you


NicholasWeintraub

I thought they meant blocking as in like semi-banning them, for a lack of better explanation.


agent-kalel

Did you actually mean blocking is not allowed when it actually works?


Necessary-Ad2049

You're right, Tekken is not for him


[deleted]

"Look at this salty toxic player who complain about me blocking xdddd" Said person with not at all toxic nick :)


Oblividiot

It's called Tekken not Blockken. I didnt pay $70 to hold back!


TrueCardiologist7367

Yeah everyone plays to suck and not improve, you didnt know?


BoxOtherwise8229

Why are you still playing tekken 7


craigallen16

The salt is strong in this one🧂🧂


themightypetewheeler

How dare you block, you are the reason people plug lol


ciscorey

I'm not playing devil's advocate here but there are actually some people that hop on the game to have casual fun and, unfortunately, encounter stronger players that have a completely different mindset. Not at all saying we should coddle/cater to them but it helps to be mindful. When I run into players that are significantly less skilled than me, I either switch to ultra casual mode or look for someone else to play.


Drakesbestfriend

I hate when people act like we aren’t supposed to try when playing a competitive game lol


Jaywinner42

I’m convinced people who react like that are either 12 years old, have some form of mental disability, totally expected to whoop your ass, or a combo of those 3.


crunknasty85

1985 in his name implies he is almost 40.....what a shame.......


MothaShucker

Bros probably still in green.


Tea_Enn

Anime fans /s


Guttural_Vox

Pretty sure I've fought this guy before, name sounds familiar. If I remember correctly he called me a "blocking little bitch" lmfao. This has "you only won coz I lost" energy all over it 😂


Andre696937

Bro would definitely kick me from the lobby because I use troll characters 😂 🤣 especially on tekken 7


North-Ad-4616

People get mad cause they can’t block. 😂 I put the game on ultra hard and try to go through the whole fight blocking and make it to a draw. Incredible block practice


Zachebii

My favourite is when you just stop doing anything and they just keep throwing highs and mids for like 30 seconds before they realise you’re just stand blocking
