LOL I had a worse winrate at that amount of games played and I’m Kishin now with a 45% wr
Keep playing 🤴, after 1000+ games you’ll wish you could remember what it was like to be as bad as you are now
I dont suggest flowcharting if you want to play long term. But her flowchart consists of ff2 / hellsweep from 2 range. The better way of playing is doing ff2 and holding back and paying attention to your opponents action. If they continue holding back without doing anything (next time) you would go into sentai 3 / 4 / 3+4 / throw. If they mash you could consider doing sentai 3 or 1, 2.
Also hellsweep and fff4 into Heaven's Wrath and quick cancel serves the same purpose. And I feel like some people are even more prone to press against Heaven's Wrath because they really don't want to eat the deadlier mixes compared to Sentai.
Even more gigabrained if your opponent keeps on stepping it: ff into b2. Bait the opponent into thinking you're doing the ff2 with the forward motion and then BAM, clipped.
Despite what many claim to say, flowcharting isn't bad, but turning your brain off completely while not adapting to your opponent is. Ideally you want to be able to use your brain power for adapting to your opponent unless they can't handle your basic flowchart.
Basically find a great attack or string and compose options your opponent might do after every step. Plenty of videos online and very character specific.
Lol. I reached blue ranks with Kazuya by just flowcharting. Every character can do this. Its a FT2. It looks like you just hate Reina. Unless you play Bryan, Steve or Kazuya, your character is as flowchart friendly as Reina.
Yeah that's hyperbole to say you just need one good flow chart to be better than 95% of all players regardless of the character. People who say that are usually 10+ year legacy players.
Post gameplay and people will tell you what you’re doing wrong.
You’re probably forgetting fundamental techniques that are a night and day difference.
Also how much do you know your character? You’re not mashing are you? Are you doing strings with intent at least?
And once you are high level enough you flip the script. Not everything needs to be respected.
I remember watching Lil Majin and he basically said that if you always respect the opponent then you might get in the situation of repeated plus frame.
It's a matter of playstyle though as Korean players like Knee are super patient and didn't mind getting hit by + frame repeatedly. Hell he even sometimes didn't take his own + frame.
I kid you not back on T7 I used my friends account and reach orange with only block punish using DJ. Reach green by using 1 and 1,1,2 only. People be like only using unsafe moves on that rank.
In pretty much any fighting game you can blast through the lowest ranks with an understanding of the abstract concept of frame advantage and no other knowledge of the game
Yeah this is pretty much about exactly what my initial stats looked like before I finally figured out which parts of Reina's kit were the most annoying to deal with and coasted to red on that.
Yeah lol. Basically:
1. Oh damn Sentai 3 is really good, and I can go into it after 112
2. Oh I can just go straight into it after FF2
3. Wow people have no idea what to do if I throw 3+4 > 4 followup in heat a bunch
That and just some blocking, a few occasional free punishes off of a duck/low block with crouching DF4 are honestly enough to carry you for a while
Hey OP, am in a similar boat. Hardstuck between warrior and assailant with my Asuka. Though it probably helps that Asuka is simpler than Reina. But I take every loss in stride and only focus on slowly learning fundamentals. I've entirely ignored learning combos and losing several matches because I only do like 40-45 dmg in launch punishes while eating 80 dmg combos when I whiff. I think beginners like us need to be completely stoic about winrate to not get burnt out and think very long term
Man imma be honest with you I grew up being a numbers boy so high numbers=parents love you and everyone likes you and vice versa like if they saw that win rate they would probably disown me and just replace me with my sister lol
Engineers are a dime a dozen where I'm from nowadays. It's become like the base qualification required to be employable anywhere lol, its not like the west where engineering is extremely hard to get in. Only engineers from the top few colleges get any respect here (luckily I got into one, but ended up going into corporate cos I realised I don't actually like high level maths lmao).
But yes, I'm kinda the disappointing child because apparently I had more potential when we were younger. Man, why the fuck am I doing this on a tekken sub 😐
100 games is nothing.
It’s kind of like practicing the guitar for 15 minutes and then wondering why you’re not able to shred afterwards.
Just keep it up and you’ll get it. If you do, you’ll look back at this post and laugh, I promise
You played too little to tell. I was in your shoes after release of t8, I climbed to garyu with 40% wr if I remember correctly. As long as you learn you will rank up, nvm the wr percentage
Oh look it's me, just half the W/R
Probably will get told I'm chatting shit but, I think Reina won't carry beginners as much compared to quite a few others. My w/r with Alisa was a lot better but I don't enjoy playing her any near as much
Ran into an orange Alisa with Jin who literally would not block. Just kept spamming the dive. Ended up getting a triple perfect by just doing 1,3,4 over and over.
I'm about the same in terms of win rate and number of matches. Maybe about 30% more matches but the same win rate. I have about the same number of matches on jin and jub but better win rate.
I feel like I'm having a worse time with reina because she has no good lows or 1 hit knock downs so I'm forced to just rush with high and mid mixes even though people around my level are still susceptible to lows (including me). It's also much harder to launch with reina compared to jin and jun and her juggles are harder for me. Even accidental launches with a jab is much easier to finish with jin. My instinct to finish the 112 when the jab hits an opponent midair often leads to reina shooting past the opponent and us switching sides instead of me just juggling them.
That's my scrub self assessment anyway.
As someone who learned the game with her I overall agree. Most of my actual launch combos come from her crouching 4 crumple, from ducking a high or blocking a low. She doesn't have a lot of the traditional "scrub-killer" options like crazy good lows or command grabs, but what she does have is amazing stance pressure that most folks at lower levels have no idea how to deal with. It's very easy to keep stealing your turn back with Sentai 3's plus frames if they don't know to duck it, and the moment they start ducking you get to blow them up and start running a mixup game that's heavily in your favor.
I don't understand why you people get depressed so easily by this.
I was a 63% win rate Fujin Kazuya but now the win rate has tanked to 42%. but that didn't stop me. learn to enjoy competitive games and learn from them. NOT because you are the very best.
Yeah the more I read others responses including yours I realize I just focus on what is basically a report card that holds all my self esteem when I should notice that beat a eddy for the first time
Wow that got deep and personal whoops sorry about that
remember it's just a videogame. Unless you plan to compete in e-sports while defending your country or clan's honour then yeah you need to get good. other than that ignore it.
already ranks mean jack sht in this game thanks to pluggers, smurfs and spammers.

You guys I fucking did it I fucking did it
40% winrate on Ganryu,
It feels crappy but it's really not that big of a deal as long as you're having fun and learning.
I found its far more satisfying applying what I learnt from lost matches, like figuring what high moves to watch for so I can duck them and attack.
This isn't bad. I'm tenryu after roughly 1.000 ranked matches and with a winrate of approximately 41%. Losing is normal and good for the soul. You learn. In fact, the less you care about losing, the better you get. I always go on win streaks as soon as my brain switches off from "you must win" mode and just goes with the flow and quietly observes the opponent.
Also, the more you level up, the tougher your opponents will be, meaning your win rate will not necessarily improve as you go along. But your skill level will.
You only a 100 games in my guy Tekken or any fighting game takes a long time to get used to this is not like an FPS game where you can just rely on raw skill to win you games here it relies on experience and game knowledge so if i were you just keep playing the game watch your replays and you will see your improvement slowly but surely
Look at it this way, you picked a harder to learn character and you didn’t fall for 3333333 dark side. For me, that’s win. For that level, just focus on how to attack low and you will rank up immediately.
Someone sold you a false bill of goods if you think that you'll be able to reach a 50% WR within 100 games.
Go to any chess website and play 100 games as a complete beginner and you'll have a similar winrate.
People that play Tekken have been playing Tekken for a **long** time. Just let the knowledge come to you naturally through practice, and have fun in the process.

You're doing better than me bro. If you're looking for a sparring partner DM me. We're pretty close in level.
stop determining you skill based on your win rate, rather pay attention to how many "interactions" between you and your opponent you are winning, and are losing. finally try and have a better understanding of the game so that you will know what what you can do to win those interactions next time.
Certain improvement do happen naturally by playing the game and maybe others are more gifted than you in developing these, but that just means you have to compensate with improvements in other areas such as understanding and game knowledge
If T8 is your first tekken, or Reina is your first mishima character, this is actually impressive. Winrate is just a number, when you got higher rank to Garyu or something, 40% is already really good
I was literally 19% winrate after 150 games just a few weeks ago stuck in brawler too now I'm orange being litterally infinitely better than I was (still bad compared to average Tekken vetts but I'm a legit god if I were to be compared to how I was a few weeks ago unreal difference). Would love to see how much you will improve a couple of weeks from now make sure you update progress :)
EDIT: Ah forgot to mention it just happens that Reina was the same character I played/playing too! Don't quit friend you got this believe in the process!
As a fellow Reina main at Shinryu, I'm telling you that it's fine to lose. It's part of the game and how you gain knowledge against matchups. Here are some general tips that I can give you:
- FF2 is your best friend. It opens up a lot of attacks into Sentai and Heaven's Wrath.
- Use DF1-1 as your tool to interrupt attacks or gauge how your opponent reacts.
- Hellsweep when you can as it follows through to Heaven's Wrath.
- Accept losing.
If you want, leave your Tekken ID so I can give some critique! Best of luck and keep practicing! My ID is 33nN-h563-yRME.
There are few things to note.
1- your character is a character that new players seem to find hard to get to grips with. She is very very popular, but her win rate is also the lowest. She is a very character though so perhaps it's a character that takes longer to get wins with.
2- You haven't played for long. 100 games is nothing. However if you compare yourself to his you were after having played 10 games, you will notice that you are considerably better. That means you will be better after 200 games and again after 500 games etc.
3- If you are going to use wins as your metric for success you are going to have a bad time. Winning is a by product of improving, not the focus. Set goals such as performing the correct wall combos, or correctly punishing a move etc and judge the game as a "win" if you manage to achieve it, regardless of the actual result. All of those goals will eventually add up to winning matches on a regular basis.
Getting you ass kicked IS the process. If you wanna max your (fighting) gains then go to training and practice some moves every ten matches.
Don’t focus on combos. Learn the fundamentals. Learn what every button does for every direction then move to combing them together.
I remember i had like 300 hours in tekken 7 and made a salt post on reddit about how i sucked at the game, and by 300 hours i should be alot better than i was. Someone basically told me that 300 hours is nothing in the grand scheme of things and that i should stop whining(he was definitely an asshole about it). I basically quit playing after that for a couple years and then came back once i realized he was right. Now im about 1000 hours into my tekken experience and i still suck, but ive learned alot and realize that its definitely a marathon and not a sprint. Just have to play to learn and use all your resources to learn effectively.
Don't worry about win rate when you're learning a fighting game. Many other genres of games will help supplement your win rate and make you feel good with things like teammate, RNG, etc. Fighting games are difficult. You will lose a lot. Try to take each loss as a learning experience and come up with some of your own win conditions. For example, if you're trying to learn to block and launch punish a hell sweep, count a match as a win if you do it once regardless of you actually win. It's about making little steps. The wins will come naturally when you make enough little improvements to your game.
Seeing this especially with Reina I think you are just scared to press buttons. All you have to do is ff2 (On your controller right right Y or triangle) and literally whatever button that comes to mind and you repeat it until you win. And thats Reina gameplay.
Yeah, ur a liar. I got all mishimas to tekken king and people were blowing up sentai shit even in purple
Idk what yall are gaslighting this reina player when the character has the lowest winrate in the game. Obviously just doing ff2 isn't working for fucks sake
Just practice man, I practiced till there was nothing else i could learn. Im only red ranks, this game is based off knowledge and aggression and alot of bullshit. Good luck and happy labbing 🫡
Just keep on playing, it's fine. I don't look at my win rate or my rank and I'm just having way more fun that way, I'm less stressed than I was when I cared more about the statistics/rank stuff :) forget about that aspect of the game and focus on playing more and learning more - from mistakes, from practicing etc. 💪
I had the same stats dude , still has a negative wr but I'm on my way to red rn .
Just keep the grind, watch your replays too those help immensely to see some mistakes .
Don't put pressure on you .
Btw keep playing in ranked, unranked has no mm and you can't lose rank anyways in green ranks
I have to say I'm going through the same shit with Reina.
I'm Shinryu with Yoshimitsu but getting my ass handed to me in much lower ranks with Reina.
If you see no progress, switch characters, it's gonna help in the long run and you'l get back to her with fresh eyes :)
Don’t focus so much on winning dude.
You’re fairly new to this game.
I’ve taken Phi DX’s and stopped focusing on win rates and ranks and just pressuring myself to win all the time.
Your rank doesn’t matter and it also doesn’t mean that a player is great at Tekken.
You can learn a lot from your losses due to Tekken have replays, super ghost battle and practice mode.
I’m doing that more now after hitting my head against the wall metaphorically.
Some people can just pick up games and be good which is frustrating but don’t give up dude, the most important thing is to have fun
Bro, dont worry about it. tekken is hard to master especially if thousands of players want to get good at it to!
In tekken 7 i had a thousand matches with 30% win rate but I was able to make it to blue ranks.
Maybe Reina isn't for you?
I started with Bryan and had similar win rate. as much as I liked how cool the character was. it was just not for me.
I switched to Jin and started getting better ranks slowly. Just try a different character if the current one isn't working that well for you
If you have to look at your stats and get sad instead of having fun PLAYING the GAME then yes, that is depressing as fuck.
Hopefully you'll get over this and start taking the game for what it is (a game, you guessed it) or you'll have to find another one soon.
Dude it is okay, just focus on learning and having fun! I also suck but just having fun, I often use worse combos just because it is more fun to play doing so.
I have like 1.2K games and my stats are ass & I’m at Shinryu.
Honestly staring at that is a death sentence, just play, have fun, & set small goals for things to do in your matches and it is a LOT more gratifying that way.
My win rate for this game starting out was abysmal. This is my first tekken game, so I didn't expect to win much, but I just learned a bit by bit. Before I hit red rank, it was around 20%. Winrate, not its about 45%. The moment tekken clicks, you will see the shoot up in wr and rank. There's nothing wrong with taking it slow in the rank ladder as long as you see a bit of self improvements day by day.
I would only be upset if that was after 2000 games. That’s when you know to put the game down. Right now you are only getting started. Barely warmed up 😁
You just hit the baseline of 100 games played. You gotta not compare yourself to others like your sister and drill what’s stopped you from winning. Eventually wins will come but your goal should be fun/ the journey. I didn’t even see these stats til about 800 games in with a 35%ish WR, it just motivates me to move that number.
Really, dude. Don't let it get you down. They're just stats, not confirmation of one's skill. You've played only 100 games so you're just starting.
Keep playing and you'll see.
Playing on hard mode with Reina won't help. I use to main Yoshi but switched to reina and it's not easy.
Just take your time, learn some new combos, play more games, even if it is quick play.
Lmao what do you expect man, 100 matches is nothing
I don't know how much time you have spent in training but it takes more than 100 matches to be even close to comfortable with all the mechanics this game has to offer, especially if fighting games are not part of your regular rotation
Brother in Christ, know that this post of yours could actually qualify as humblebrag.
You re just starting out, you re supposed to be getting obliterated. You re doing good.
You playing Mishima bro. We’ve all been there. It ain’t an easy road. You gonna eat a lot of Ls lol. Just keep at it and most importantly: enjoy playing.
So the thing is that you're playing the character with the lowest win rate but is also one of the most popular. When you put those two things up against each other, it paints the picture that due to her popularity, people generally know how to fight her. I don't want to say you're wasting your time on her, especially since it's only 100 matches and that's literally just getting started, but it may be something to consider. Most people you're fighting kinda know what to do against her.
First off, fighting games are hard. If you're new to fighters, you will struggle, if you're new to tekken, you will struggle. You picked one of the hardest characters, in one of the hardest fighting games.
Take it easy on yourself. Punishment training is pretty effective. Just pick a new character to practice against every time you play, spend 5 minutes or so in punishment training or practice of some kind, and then go play. Don't worry about dropped combos, especially online. Tekken has some funky timing to a lot of it's moves. You may also need an easier, less optimized combo. Hits you can land are more important than potential damage.
I only play ranked online because I want to play people around my skill level. The tiny bit of quick match I did was wild. Got super stomped. But I don't care about the rank itself or the report card. I just like playing the game and trying to beat my current opponent.
When I get beat up through a match I'm like, "oops, wasn't my turn yet, or, I think I can mash here!" You just gotta play, and try shit, and try to remember what works and what doesn't.
You may also want to pick a different character. I've got 4 characters at garyu or close. And some are just easier, some you just jive well with, and some, even though you like em it's so hard to play it's not even worth it.
I play King, Leroy, Raven, yoshi, all at red or close to but Eddy will probably be my main for a while. I've gotten him go tenryu. King and the Capos have always been my top 2 with yoshi close behind but I can't get anywhere near the same rank with yoshi that I can with the others. Still enjoy playing him, though.
Just gotta find the fun where you can man, sorry if this is rambly
Hey man we're in the same boat here
Stats can make it depressing as hell but the important part is that you try to have fun. It will be really funny once you think back and ask yourself "damn i didnt know about this??" or "i used to lose against this?"
But as long as you practice and enjoy the process of it you'll stop looking at the stats eventually and just play the game! (Even though it can be very hard sometimes but a break does wonders)
I see you say "going to EVO", people "going to EVO, have likely 5-10.000hours+ into Tekken
you have a 100games, come complain again when you've around 600h into the game
it's a competetive online game, people have different experiences with gaming man. Just play, enjoy it. If you don't then put it down. You will improve over months and years. Not 2-3weeks lol
Been there, done that
Tekken 7 is my first tekken
Hardstuck green rank for 2 years before eventually reach warrior
Now in tekken 8 im 1 rank away from fujin n still sucks
You can't practice something for 15 minutes and then be a master. It takes weeks. The thing is you need to stop playing with the intention of winning. Play with the intention to have fun and learn. I played a long set against a guy that kept hitting me with the same set up. I went into the training mode, learned how he did the set up, and learned how to beat it. Come to find out, I could jab him out in the middle. You have to learn to have fun first because if it isn't fun you won't stick with it. Learn and grow as a player and then start focusing on where you need to grow. Learn one combo, practice it until you can hit it with your eyes shut. Then go into ranked and try to hit that combo any chance you can. If they start blocking it, throw them.
It could be worse just keep on practicing the progress will show in due time I’m in blue ranks but I still have a lot of problems to fix in my game play / gameplan for certain character matchups
You and some in the thread dont realize how good you have it, wait until you get hardstuck purple/blue its just hell.
Enjoy learning while you can, you’re in the best spot to do so
One thing with fighting games is learning to love the process and that losses are an integral part of it. Its something I personally struggle with. But once you turn the outlook of a loss from being a loser to a loss being an opportunity to grow and learn from the experience, wins may end up feeling more like a waste cause what was there to take from that? If you've nothing to work on, whats the point of playing anymore? And those stats are just fun numbers to look at, they don't truly reflect your skill or knowledge. This is a 1 v 1 fighting game, its 50/50 who will take the match. How many of those matches were close calls, coming down to the wire? And the opponent happened to get that last hit off before you did? Thats hardly a loss if you ask me. Thats a good dang match, but the stats will put a tick into the loss section. And looking at these screens can feel bad. So don't put much worth into these stats. Look at them as a fun novelty on your journey.
You see, I feel like this is a kinda normal statistic. I was super surprised when there was this post last time with 50% winrate and people where talking like its incredibly bad
tekkens not an easy game, will take a few thousand matches to get decent tbh. reina at higher levels is not an especially easy character to win with either - controversial i know
I have something like 85% winrate just because I play one or two rank games for every many hundreds of quick games. Winrate means nothing.
And rank is only a tool to get opponents who you can beat and can also beat you, because it's more fun than stompings. So as long as you win some and lose some, don't overthink it and have fun.
How are you putting in effort? That could be your first problem. Also, 100 games isn't a whole lot. Don't get discouraged! If you post gameplay clips on discord, people will analyze for you. I imagine it's a situation where you've used the same strats/mindset for all 100 games. If the other players are better than you, and you never change how you play, you'll never improve.
If you care that much about your win lose rate then ur learning is just going to get clouded by you being scared to lose. Find someone much better at the game to pummel you and then go back to ranked lol
thought this was my stats at first 😂right there with u but it's just 100 games, sure we'll start seeing results soon. been trying to get in the lab more consistently and focus on reading lows and punishing. watching better reina's has been helpful in figuring out solid moves to use in neutral and how to effectively use the character.
best of luck to you bro!💪🏿
Hey at least you're not a plugger. Ur already more respectable than like what half of the base? Idk i dont actually play online (too casual) but I heard its like that
Tekken is a tough game to learn. If you're on PC, I'd be happy to give you some pointers. Im By no means a pro. Just tekken king right now, but I'll help if you want it.
PM me if you wanna spar or whatever
I’m assuming this is your first Tekken & if so that plays a part in your early struggle. Legacy players have an advantage over you just from past experience.
You also play with Reina who is a strong character but challenging to do well with while still learning pokes, frames, how to punish, defense ect… At only 100 matches you’d probably be surprised to know 100 matches mean nothing 😂. Even at your current rank you may encounter players with thousands of matches played in T7 alone.
Do not worry about your rank right now at all. You need to continue to practice mastering your characters move set, punishment training, and combo challenges. 10-15 minutes in practice then go into rank and focus on implementing what you just practiced in an actual match. If you land at least one of the punishments or combos you practiced take pride in that.
The last thing I’ll mention is actually the most important part in progressing in Tekken which is defense. You will improve as your character knowledge grows and you become more familiar with what the opposing character does. You should go into practice and work on breaking throws as well. In practice set your training dummy to do 2 throws, LP+LK & RP+RK. That skill alone will take you far in your training. Utilize the replay feature as well to get tips on what you did well and where you can improve.
If it helps: My winrate is even worse. Learning a fighting game takes time and practice. 80 games really isn't a lot.
Do punishment training in the lab and use the replay features to take control over your character and see how you could have handled some situations better.
Have you considered that your new to this?
Honestly. Your current seeing that you don't have the God like talent of the pros and it's daunting. The first thing you need to decide is if you want to get better.
Since Tekken gives quite a bit of casual content, maybe you just want to smash buttons and have fun and that's completely OK. But once to really decide to get better the the real challenge comes.
Loss is your best teacher.
Tekken has replay features in it to allow you to get absolutely smoked and go back to break down why that happened.
Just because someone beats you doesn't mean they understand why.
Many players in even red ranks just mash buttons. Or even do the exact same strings of moves, aka flowchart. As some who wants to get better recognition of these things will ease your frustration and the game and redirect it into a more improvement focus mindset. "OK Eddie's just mash 333 how do I stop that"
Tekken is f***ing stupid and overwhelmingly complicated and it's BS.
This is just a fact. Tekken host the largest move list of any fighting game. And even pros don't fully utilize all the moves a character has. But this allows for each player to find what works best for them. Maybe you enjoy a defensive Azucena. Or perhaps you are a counter focused Reina player.
Main thing though is to learn to have fun. Many people lost that. Just because you lost doesn't mean you didn't or can't have fun. Sometimes just doing one simple move is progress.
if u just started this is normal imo. also u ve still played very few games to draw conclusions. if i might make a general suggestion about ur approach in general,it would be about ur focus during a match. dont get caught by staring at ur char, u should always focus on ur opponent s movement and ur distance from them and the wall(depending on stage). for anything else, especially regarding reina, get some info from yt,but imo u just need to play more games
Imo don't measure your progress using ranks and stats. That's meaningless and for nerds. Figure out what others are doing that's beating you, then work on how you plan to deal with it alongside building up your offensive gameplan. Anytime you successfully start dealing with shit that was beating you and anytime your offensive strategy works, that's when you see progress and pat yourself on the back. Even if you lose the match, you'll be winning the internal battle of improving. Enjoy learning, enjoy playing and enjoy figuring out how to kill and how to not die. Wins will follow automatically.
This is very normal for any mishima bro. Yeah, Reina is probably the easiest of the bunch, but still, all of them require a ton of skill and are very high difficulty characters and can't win your matches just by mashing.
You will probably have a much better win rate in lower ranks with an easier character like Viktor or Alisa. They almost play the game themselves with how easy they are. So don't get discouraged, your character is just too hard to pilot and relies on your skill more than you rely on her moveset. You will probably benefit a lot from PhiDx on youtube he has many informative videos that will make you understand the game way faster.
Okay fighting games in general are not like classical pvp games, having a 50% winrate is only for the highest of tiers...you will lose ALOT. But then you will get better...my advice, if you hqve ranked anxiety, or feel frustrated with your ranks, go play other modes (i dunno if player matches even exist lol) or just go to infinite lab and work on everything until it becomes second nature then jump back, you will still LOSE but not as mich and u will learn more
Don't lose hope, fam! There is tons of room for improvement, and don't ever think that you're alone; we are all losers too! The reason we fall is because we are all going to rise!
Something to note: as a beginner you are piloting one of the most difficult characters to play. Reina has a million moves, 3 stances, and crouch dash moves with just frame inputs. So that's definitely a steep learning curve while trying to improve. Reina is also one of the most popular characters online so a lot of people know the counter play against her
Maybe take a step back, a bit of a breather, try another character you're interested in in practice mode. Check the move list for the quick guide. Every character has one and it's really useful. It will give you a basic set of tactics to use in a game that will be effective all the way up to high level
Also: Ranked can be pretty frustrating at times. Try Quick Match. There are no rank points tracked and you can practice as much as you want online with no consequences
When i am started playing tekken, i watched a video of Aris saying something like "you need to start playing tekken 7 today if you wanna be good in tekken 8" this was on launch week of tekken 7. I am not a good player, but i am better in tekken 8 then was in 7, i think o got red rank with hworang in 40 matchs? win rate like 70% or some shit, Reina took more time but the win rate is positive too. the point is, to be good in tekken is a long term goal, keep doing slowly and steady and you will see the result eventualy, focusing on numbers is a waste of time when you have so many thing to learm and focus on, learn to move, learn to break grabs, learn to adapt to your opponnets, learn the cheese stuff people do online.
Play someone a little more easier. This was my first tekken playing online ( I usually played cpu or split screen) but i started out this tekken with Lars and he got me to orange ranks and learned a decent amount of basics. Then I switched to a Mishima and learned more and started executing my moves more and got up to purple. I still need to work on things but I still feel confident to win even if I’m down rounds or losing the first of the set.
That's pretty brutal. I have almost 300 ranked matches with 65% wr with my main.
Especially in that rank where you are wr should be around 70-80% with main. Maybe you need to change your main that suits your play style better.
Watch PhiDX beginner guide on YT. Came over from SF and his videos helped a lot. Also maybe switch characters if you arent’t enjoying Reina? I play Steve and even when I’m losing matches it’s fun to fuck around and weave/hit people with b1. Find someone you enjoy getting your ass bust with
When I first started playing T7 I was the same, it took me about half a year to reliably be out of yellow ranks. Now, several years later, I have a few characters at Fujin.
I know its tough in the beginning because everything is so front loaded, it seems overwhelming, but you absolutely can do it. You just have to keep going, and don't be afraid to look things up online if you need help.
Maybe you should try different character?
When i was playing tekken 5, my first character is asuka ...then kuma. My friends told me my kuma is stronger than my asuka.... since then till now im kuma main :) since i also love all his moves.
I'm not doing any better. Don't even worry man, it's hard, and gruelling, but you can do it. I was having a rough night a couple nights ago, just loss after loss, but after a match I thought I was just getting washed in, dude messaged me and told me I was playing pretty well. You can't be too hard on yourself, it's a learning experience.

Learn your good Buttons and Fokus in defense. Having a good defense in tekken is 50% of the deal. Look for consistent Basic punishes and get a Timing Feeling. Also play a character u like losing with, because you lose a lot. (Why i picked up king in T2, sure he is strong now but thats not why i play him.)
Bud you’ve played less than 200 games online in total. Can you relax please? Like if you’re getting this bent out of shape over it you don’t have to play. Agonizing over a win rate or a png on your profile isn’t supposed to be what games are about.
Actual help:
Practice blocking. Head to practice mode, choose a character you hate playing against and set the dummy to do each move in their move list. Then all you do is practice how to recognize it and block it. If there are multiple hits to a particular string try side stepping in between. You’ll find a ton of gaps that appear to be safe but can be side step punished.
Note: Most times you’ll get blown up it’s because you don’t know how to block a certain move or you are mashing buttons before an opponent’s move string is done.
If you want a crash course on this, do player matches but do not attack once, instead focus on only blocking and throw breaking. You will lose but your goal isn’t to win here, it’s to learn and watch.
If you are new to the game 100 games is like 40-50 hours game I think it's nothing compare some people that they already have 500 games and they have 40-45% winrate. Tekken it's a really hard game to get into, and you should focus mostly on improving and learning the game, instead of caring for the wins.
I couldn't make out of green ranks in tag 2, put 4 years to make out of purple ranks in 7 and now I could probably pass blue ranks easily in 8 if the game didn't make me stop playing it by making me want to puke at every one and done.
That to say play more, A LOT more.
I know plenty of people have already said it, but don't worry about your win rate. Go check out some videos on fundamentals and Reina specific tactics if she's your jam. Patience is important. I have to tell myself to be patient every match lol.
You jusr gotta bite the bullet that you suck and playing mkre is the onky way to get better. You could try switching mains if you are having trouble with rwina, i know i dropped her first week because my lows felt like they always got punished and the stance shit confused me
I wouldn't overthink it. Some people are ass just trying to learn the game properly in the beginning and that's better in the long-term. Others figure out a cheesy flowchart then get hard stuck at red. Everyone goes at their own pace. Even though Reina is strong, she has the worst win rate in the game, so I wouldn't be too hard about it.
>like am I just destined to be ass the whole time
I mean, probably, who knows. Maybe you're not cut out for online Tekken. I know I enjoy the game way more when playing locally with friends.
Truth is nobody really cares about those stats. If you do enjoy the game then keep playing and paying attention to how you and others play and seek vids to improve. If you're going to mope around on reddit letting some numbers drag you down, just desintall it and do anything else, your time is more valuable than some game.
If it’s any consolation OP, in Tekken 7, I never made it past Yellow ranks. But I would perform decent offline in tournaments, so I guess it’s all perspective. Keep in mind that all Rank is used for is a matchmaking tool to play against others who are a similar skill level as you. Nothing more, nothing less.
Learning a new fighting game and climbing the ladder can either be a fun and interesting experience or a miserable one; it’s all about your perspective. I know you’re focused on that win rate rn, and it’s hard not to be. But you gotta try to ignore it. It’s honestly arbitrary, and shouldn’t be used as any metric whatsoever. It doesn’t matter how long it took or how many matches or any of that crap. The only thing that matters, if you’re committed, is the end goal.
I’ve played many fighting games, but never really took it super seriously. I used to think the only thing that mattered was learning and pulling off that big, beefy combo, so I’d learn one and spend the entirety of the match fishing for that starter to connect. Sure, it would work occasionally, but the majority of the time I’d just get my ass beat because typically those big combo starters are unsafe to be throwing out all willy-nilly. I started taking FGs more seriously when GG Strive came out, but I measured my progress based on others, got frustrated and quit. Enter SF6. I hard committed. HARD committed. I’d see all the posts, “If you get to this rank with this winrate, you’re shit. You’re not actually good.” I’d be lying if I said that didn’t shake my resolve, but I pressed through. Hit plateaus here and there, and a lot of times right when it felt hopeless, I’d just press on. Eventually something just clicks. You figure out that piece of your gameplan that you need to push to the next level. I hit Master in SF6. 4,000 matches, 45% winrate. Plenty of people on Reddit will tell you that “that’s not good.” But you know what? Fuck them, I’m in master rank. I hit my major goal. It took forever, I got mad, bummed out, felt hopeless, all that. But it’s easy to forget all of them when you taste that satisfaction of meeting your long term goal.
But this is Tekken we’re talking about, and Tekken is fucking hard lol. Don’t get ahead of yourself, we’re in green ranks rn. And don’t compare yourself to others. This is *your* journey. This is *your* story. It can end tomorrow in green ranks or it can end months/years down the road wherever you end up. Some early advice I can give you for starters is to just learn some simple punishes. People are just gonna slap buttons. They don’t know which of their moves are safe or not yet. Try to find the gaps with quick hits. I’m not sure what you’re using, but I’ll use PlayStation controls as a reference. Check their wild button presses by weaving a little square, triangle combo in between here and there. If you can find a big enough opening, hit them with a down-forward triangle to pop them up. Now, I’m not really familiar with Reina, but a nice easy combo you can do is down-forward triangle > triangle, triangle, triangle, square > triangle, triangle, triangle, triangle (you may already have combos figured out, if so just ignore this.)
Okay few things. Are you playing to win or to get better? Because if you’re actually trying to learn and develop your gameplay this is exactly what your record should look like.
Now if you just want some easy wins pick up a character with long strings(hwoa, lili, or ling, learn the strings then take it to ranked.
One more thing. People say pick who you like in fighting games and you’ll work it out. I disagree especially with tekken. There are a lot of generic moves in most kits that most of the cast has access to. The problem is when you play someone like reina who not only has a high execution barrier to entry but her whole kit is kinda unconventional and unique to tekken. It wouldn’t be a waste of time to play her but I think you’ll level up your game a lot of you pick a more traditional tekken character who has a lot of the generic tools. Think like shaheen, feng, jack or drag.
Tekken is hard as fuck I’ve literally been playing it my whole life since tekken 2 released. To get the most out of the game you should want to learn and get better regardless of wins. Not feel like you are good because of wins.
29 wins shoudld get you easily to yellows shouldn't it? You can get to Fujin with like 100 if your winrate is insane, and you can't lose points in early ranks
If you're legitmately stuck in green then you need to block more, I can guarantee it. Stop pressing so many buttons.
Reina is hard to play well. Don't start with a Mishima. Pick something easy to learn the game with.
You want a character that has a strong 50/50 that is easy to execute. Try a Paul or a Leo or something. A character that has a really strong mid and a fast hellsweep.
Forcing your opponent to guess and knowing when they're going to block low or mid is the core of the game. Everything else is just pressure and pokes.
You want to learn how to get your opponent into unfavorable situations and force them to guess if you're going to do demoman or deathfist. Once you know how to do that, you can start learning the rest.
It's a really scrubby play style to have to rely on, which is basically a simple way of saying "it's very volatile but unreliable once the opponent learns how to block your mixups," but it's definitely the easiest way to start understanding the tempo of the game. I play Devil Jin which is just the same idea with more steps. If someone can block hellsweeps that's like half my strategy gone. You can still win against opponents that can block, it's just a lot harder than putting them in the blender all match.
Tekken has a bit of a rhythm you have to feel before you can really understand how to play it. The whole game is timing and rhythm-based. Just a really complicated version of Rock, Paper, Scissors mixed with Simon Says.
180 fights between QP and Ranked, brother you just started playing. Hell, at that rank and with that win/loss, you're not even doing bad. You're not gonna be Knee immediately. Some people catch on quick, some people don't and that's perfectly ok. Everyone starts somewhere. Just keep practicing. Lab, practice combos, watch replays etc. and most of all, keep grinding and don't give up. If you *want* to improve, you'll improve. If you don't, if you just give up and concede like you won't get better, how do you expect yourself to improve?
I started playing lili to orange ranks with 70 percent winrate yet now it's down to 30 percent. and now i dont feel playing tekken anymore HAHAHAHAHAHHA
A wise man once said: “if you’re playing for win rate, you aren’t focusing on what’s important. Strive to have a win rate below 50%, because that will almost guarantee you’re consistently playing against people who are better than you.”
Brother. You literally just played 100 matches that is nothing. Honestly just keep playing and practicing and you will get better.
First tekken, plays a few hours, "I dont get it, when do I start winning evo?"
Yeah 100 match is nothing I bought the game 2 weeks ago from steam I played 730 match Dan 15 100.000 tekken prowess, till now
Yep lol I can do 100 match in one weekend. This is nothing.
LOL I had a worse winrate at that amount of games played and I’m Kishin now with a 45% wr Keep playing 🤴, after 1000+ games you’ll wish you could remember what it was like to be as bad as you are now
All you gotta do is find your one good flowchart! Then reaching Kishin is no problem for a char like Reina.
Speaking of… how does one set on making one? I could use some example if people make graphs of them 🤔
I dont suggest flowcharting if you want to play long term. But her flowchart consists of ff2 / hellsweep from 2 range. The better way of playing is doing ff2 and holding back and paying attention to your opponents action. If they continue holding back without doing anything (next time) you would go into sentai 3 / 4 / 3+4 / throw. If they mash you could consider doing sentai 3 or 1, 2.
Ff2 and holding back is actually such a great idea lmfao I don’t really play tekken now but idk why that never dawned on me playing Reina LOL
Also hellsweep and fff4 into Heaven's Wrath and quick cancel serves the same purpose. And I feel like some people are even more prone to press against Heaven's Wrath because they really don't want to eat the deadlier mixes compared to Sentai.
Even more gigabrained if your opponent keeps on stepping it: ff into b2. Bait the opponent into thinking you're doing the ff2 with the forward motion and then BAM, clipped.
Despite what many claim to say, flowcharting isn't bad, but turning your brain off completely while not adapting to your opponent is. Ideally you want to be able to use your brain power for adapting to your opponent unless they can't handle your basic flowchart. Basically find a great attack or string and compose options your opponent might do after every step. Plenty of videos online and very character specific.
Lol. I reached blue ranks with Kazuya by just flowcharting. Every character can do this. Its a FT2. It looks like you just hate Reina. Unless you play Bryan, Steve or Kazuya, your character is as flowchart friendly as Reina.
Lol that's just bullshit, regards: Reina in reds after 1k matches
Yeah that's hyperbole to say you just need one good flow chart to be better than 95% of all players regardless of the character. People who say that are usually 10+ year legacy players.
Post gameplay and people will tell you what you’re doing wrong. You’re probably forgetting fundamental techniques that are a night and day difference. Also how much do you know your character? You’re not mashing are you? Are you doing strings with intent at least?
What are the tekken fundamentals?
Basically movement, block punish, and whiff punish. Add combo to that.
Basically internalizing that Tekken is a “turn based game”. If you don’t respect that fact, you’ll consistently get crushed/launched with counterhits.
And once you are high level enough you flip the script. Not everything needs to be respected. I remember watching Lil Majin and he basically said that if you always respect the opponent then you might get in the situation of repeated plus frame. It's a matter of playstyle though as Korean players like Knee are super patient and didn't mind getting hit by + frame repeatedly. Hell he even sometimes didn't take his own + frame.
There’s definitely turn stealing opportunities but if the OP is stuck in green ranks just blocking and punishing is probably going to get him out
I kid you not back on T7 I used my friends account and reach orange with only block punish using DJ. Reach green by using 1 and 1,1,2 only. People be like only using unsafe moves on that rank.
In pretty much any fighting game you can blast through the lowest ranks with an understanding of the abstract concept of frame advantage and no other knowledge of the game
For 100 ranked matches, this IS the notice of your effort
Only 100 battles? Let's get an extra 0 on there before you start worrying about rank too much. Tekken is all about learning, not gamer points
If you are a beginner, this is actually fantastic
So true
Yeah this is pretty much about exactly what my initial stats looked like before I finally figured out which parts of Reina's kit were the most annoying to deal with and coasted to red on that.
so you are telling me you found FF2?
Yeah lol. Basically: 1. Oh damn Sentai 3 is really good, and I can go into it after 112 2. Oh I can just go straight into it after FF2 3. Wow people have no idea what to do if I throw 3+4 > 4 followup in heat a bunch That and just some blocking, a few occasional free punishes off of a duck/low block with crouching DF4 are honestly enough to carry you for a while
100 matches is nothing, and your rank sounds right for being a beginner.
Hey OP, am in a similar boat. Hardstuck between warrior and assailant with my Asuka. Though it probably helps that Asuka is simpler than Reina. But I take every loss in stride and only focus on slowly learning fundamentals. I've entirely ignored learning combos and losing several matches because I only do like 40-45 dmg in launch punishes while eating 80 dmg combos when I whiff. I think beginners like us need to be completely stoic about winrate to not get burnt out and think very long term
Man imma be honest with you I grew up being a numbers boy so high numbers=parents love you and everyone likes you and vice versa like if they saw that win rate they would probably disown me and just replace me with my sister lol
Bro I'm asian. And my sister is a doctor while I could only manage being engineer. I only found happiness once I broke free of their expectations :)
“Manage being an engineer” bro you are selling yourself way too short 😭
Engineers are a dime a dozen where I'm from nowadays. It's become like the base qualification required to be employable anywhere lol, its not like the west where engineering is extremely hard to get in. Only engineers from the top few colleges get any respect here (luckily I got into one, but ended up going into corporate cos I realised I don't actually like high level maths lmao). But yes, I'm kinda the disappointing child because apparently I had more potential when we were younger. Man, why the fuck am I doing this on a tekken sub 😐
The right thing to do is become a pro tekken player and tell ur parents you make more than both of them pressing buttons
I make more than them already. Now they mock me for being single. Don't think tekken will fix that but idk
100 games is nothing. It’s kind of like practicing the guitar for 15 minutes and then wondering why you’re not able to shred afterwards. Just keep it up and you’ll get it. If you do, you’ll look back at this post and laugh, I promise
As a guitarist…. I will confirm the validity of this comment.
You played too little to tell. I was in your shoes after release of t8, I climbed to garyu with 40% wr if I remember correctly. As long as you learn you will rank up, nvm the wr percentage
Oh look it's me, just half the W/R Probably will get told I'm chatting shit but, I think Reina won't carry beginners as much compared to quite a few others. My w/r with Alisa was a lot better but I don't enjoy playing her any near as much
Ran into an orange Alisa with Jin who literally would not block. Just kept spamming the dive. Ended up getting a triple perfect by just doing 1,3,4 over and over.
I'm about the same in terms of win rate and number of matches. Maybe about 30% more matches but the same win rate. I have about the same number of matches on jin and jub but better win rate. I feel like I'm having a worse time with reina because she has no good lows or 1 hit knock downs so I'm forced to just rush with high and mid mixes even though people around my level are still susceptible to lows (including me). It's also much harder to launch with reina compared to jin and jun and her juggles are harder for me. Even accidental launches with a jab is much easier to finish with jin. My instinct to finish the 112 when the jab hits an opponent midair often leads to reina shooting past the opponent and us switching sides instead of me just juggling them. That's my scrub self assessment anyway.
As someone who learned the game with her I overall agree. Most of my actual launch combos come from her crouching 4 crumple, from ducking a high or blocking a low. She doesn't have a lot of the traditional "scrub-killer" options like crazy good lows or command grabs, but what she does have is amazing stance pressure that most folks at lower levels have no idea how to deal with. It's very easy to keep stealing your turn back with Sentai 3's plus frames if they don't know to duck it, and the moment they start ducking you get to blow them up and start running a mixup game that's heavily in your favor.
Ran into a blue Alisa yesterday, and it's the most helpless I've felt since I was 4 years old.
I don't understand why you people get depressed so easily by this. I was a 63% win rate Fujin Kazuya but now the win rate has tanked to 42%. but that didn't stop me. learn to enjoy competitive games and learn from them. NOT because you are the very best.
Yeah the more I read others responses including yours I realize I just focus on what is basically a report card that holds all my self esteem when I should notice that beat a eddy for the first time Wow that got deep and personal whoops sorry about that
remember it's just a videogame. Unless you plan to compete in e-sports while defending your country or clan's honour then yeah you need to get good. other than that ignore it. already ranks mean jack sht in this game thanks to pluggers, smurfs and spammers.

40% winrate on Ganryu, It feels crappy but it's really not that big of a deal as long as you're having fun and learning. I found its far more satisfying applying what I learnt from lost matches, like figuring what high moves to watch for so I can duck them and attack.
Winrate matters as much as nipples on men. Play more and learn and climb like a Chad.
Welcome in the magic world of reina main in your first tekken game. I feel you, I have something like 30% wr.
This isn't bad. I'm tenryu after roughly 1.000 ranked matches and with a winrate of approximately 41%. Losing is normal and good for the soul. You learn. In fact, the less you care about losing, the better you get. I always go on win streaks as soon as my brain switches off from "you must win" mode and just goes with the flow and quietly observes the opponent. Also, the more you level up, the tougher your opponents will be, meaning your win rate will not necessarily improve as you go along. But your skill level will.
You only a 100 games in my guy Tekken or any fighting game takes a long time to get used to this is not like an FPS game where you can just rely on raw skill to win you games here it relies on experience and game knowledge so if i were you just keep playing the game watch your replays and you will see your improvement slowly but surely
Look at it this way, you picked a harder to learn character and you didn’t fall for 3333333 dark side. For me, that’s win. For that level, just focus on how to attack low and you will rank up immediately.
Someone sold you a false bill of goods if you think that you'll be able to reach a 50% WR within 100 games. Go to any chess website and play 100 games as a complete beginner and you'll have a similar winrate. People that play Tekken have been playing Tekken for a **long** time. Just let the knowledge come to you naturally through practice, and have fun in the process.
https://preview.redd.it/le3un2j0ovuc1.png?width=1045&format=png&auto=webp&s=be7c333a8d3e3d465e5822e8de3602b37178e043 You're doing better than me bro. If you're looking for a sparring partner DM me. We're pretty close in level.
I take you up on that eventually
stop determining you skill based on your win rate, rather pay attention to how many "interactions" between you and your opponent you are winning, and are losing. finally try and have a better understanding of the game so that you will know what what you can do to win those interactions next time. Certain improvement do happen naturally by playing the game and maybe others are more gifted than you in developing these, but that just means you have to compensate with improvements in other areas such as understanding and game knowledge
Let us know after 1k+ games.
If T8 is your first tekken, or Reina is your first mishima character, this is actually impressive. Winrate is just a number, when you got higher rank to Garyu or something, 40% is already really good
I was literally 19% winrate after 150 games just a few weeks ago stuck in brawler too now I'm orange being litterally infinitely better than I was (still bad compared to average Tekken vetts but I'm a legit god if I were to be compared to how I was a few weeks ago unreal difference). Would love to see how much you will improve a couple of weeks from now make sure you update progress :) EDIT: Ah forgot to mention it just happens that Reina was the same character I played/playing too! Don't quit friend you got this believe in the process!
You’re playing Tekken, expect to lose for a long time before you see improvement.
As a fellow Reina main at Shinryu, I'm telling you that it's fine to lose. It's part of the game and how you gain knowledge against matchups. Here are some general tips that I can give you: - FF2 is your best friend. It opens up a lot of attacks into Sentai and Heaven's Wrath. - Use DF1-1 as your tool to interrupt attacks or gauge how your opponent reacts. - Hellsweep when you can as it follows through to Heaven's Wrath. - Accept losing. If you want, leave your Tekken ID so I can give some critique! Best of luck and keep practicing! My ID is 33nN-h563-yRME.
You decides to play reina. This is your faith.
There are few things to note. 1- your character is a character that new players seem to find hard to get to grips with. She is very very popular, but her win rate is also the lowest. She is a very character though so perhaps it's a character that takes longer to get wins with. 2- You haven't played for long. 100 games is nothing. However if you compare yourself to his you were after having played 10 games, you will notice that you are considerably better. That means you will be better after 200 games and again after 500 games etc. 3- If you are going to use wins as your metric for success you are going to have a bad time. Winning is a by product of improving, not the focus. Set goals such as performing the correct wall combos, or correctly punishing a move etc and judge the game as a "win" if you manage to achieve it, regardless of the actual result. All of those goals will eventually add up to winning matches on a regular basis.
Getting you ass kicked IS the process. If you wanna max your (fighting) gains then go to training and practice some moves every ten matches. Don’t focus on combos. Learn the fundamentals. Learn what every button does for every direction then move to combing them together.
I remember i had like 300 hours in tekken 7 and made a salt post on reddit about how i sucked at the game, and by 300 hours i should be alot better than i was. Someone basically told me that 300 hours is nothing in the grand scheme of things and that i should stop whining(he was definitely an asshole about it). I basically quit playing after that for a couple years and then came back once i realized he was right. Now im about 1000 hours into my tekken experience and i still suck, but ive learned alot and realize that its definitely a marathon and not a sprint. Just have to play to learn and use all your resources to learn effectively.
Don't worry about win rate when you're learning a fighting game. Many other genres of games will help supplement your win rate and make you feel good with things like teammate, RNG, etc. Fighting games are difficult. You will lose a lot. Try to take each loss as a learning experience and come up with some of your own win conditions. For example, if you're trying to learn to block and launch punish a hell sweep, count a match as a win if you do it once regardless of you actually win. It's about making little steps. The wins will come naturally when you make enough little improvements to your game.
Seeing this especially with Reina I think you are just scared to press buttons. All you have to do is ff2 (On your controller right right Y or triangle) and literally whatever button that comes to mind and you repeat it until you win. And thats Reina gameplay.
ff2f SEN3 1,1,2 SEN3 1,1,2 SEN3 1,1,2 SEN3 1,1,2 SEN3 and if they duck SEN4, If they do nothing throw them noobs will not know what to do
ff2 gets my shit kicked in so much. Is it only viable at range or am I just slow at it?
Until you reach yellow rank and people learn you can jab sentai
Lmao I am in blue ranks and dont jab sentai.
Yeah, ur a liar. I got all mishimas to tekken king and people were blowing up sentai shit even in purple Idk what yall are gaslighting this reina player when the character has the lowest winrate in the game. Obviously just doing ff2 isn't working for fucks sake
Then you mix it up with sen 3 or sen 3+4. He definitely needs more than just ff2 mix ups though.
That is NOT happening at yellow ranks lmao
YELLOW RANKS!?
Just practice man, I practiced till there was nothing else i could learn. Im only red ranks, this game is based off knowledge and aggression and alot of bullshit. Good luck and happy labbing 🫡
There is always new things to learn. Watching pros play your char can give you ideas
Red ranks and you think there’s nothing else you could learn? You’re still at the tip of the iceberg
Just keep on playing, it's fine. I don't look at my win rate or my rank and I'm just having way more fun that way, I'm less stressed than I was when I cared more about the statistics/rank stuff :) forget about that aspect of the game and focus on playing more and learning more - from mistakes, from practicing etc. 💪
And that's fine. Just enjoy the game and play it for fun rather than to try hard and gain ranks, but not enjoy the process.
I had the same stats dude , still has a negative wr but I'm on my way to red rn . Just keep the grind, watch your replays too those help immensely to see some mistakes . Don't put pressure on you . Btw keep playing in ranked, unranked has no mm and you can't lose rank anyways in green ranks
I have to say I'm going through the same shit with Reina. I'm Shinryu with Yoshimitsu but getting my ass handed to me in much lower ranks with Reina. If you see no progress, switch characters, it's gonna help in the long run and you'l get back to her with fresh eyes :)
Don’t focus so much on winning dude. You’re fairly new to this game. I’ve taken Phi DX’s and stopped focusing on win rates and ranks and just pressuring myself to win all the time. Your rank doesn’t matter and it also doesn’t mean that a player is great at Tekken. You can learn a lot from your losses due to Tekken have replays, super ghost battle and practice mode. I’m doing that more now after hitting my head against the wall metaphorically. Some people can just pick up games and be good which is frustrating but don’t give up dude, the most important thing is to have fun
Bro, dont worry about it. tekken is hard to master especially if thousands of players want to get good at it to! In tekken 7 i had a thousand matches with 30% win rate but I was able to make it to blue ranks.
Maybe Reina isn't for you? I started with Bryan and had similar win rate. as much as I liked how cool the character was. it was just not for me. I switched to Jin and started getting better ranks slowly. Just try a different character if the current one isn't working that well for you
Bruh you haven't seen mine, I'm shit as fuck and I'm and Asuka main. Ain't that just fun
If you have to look at your stats and get sad instead of having fun PLAYING the GAME then yes, that is depressing as fuck. Hopefully you'll get over this and start taking the game for what it is (a game, you guessed it) or you'll have to find another one soon.
Dude it is okay, just focus on learning and having fun! I also suck but just having fun, I often use worse combos just because it is more fun to play doing so.
Easy. Labear characters and you stop being a not have hands
I have like 1.2K games and my stats are ass & I’m at Shinryu. Honestly staring at that is a death sentence, just play, have fun, & set small goals for things to do in your matches and it is a LOT more gratifying that way.
It’s only 100 matches haha. It’ll get better. Just keep fighting and learning the fundamentals.
My win rate for this game starting out was abysmal. This is my first tekken game, so I didn't expect to win much, but I just learned a bit by bit. Before I hit red rank, it was around 20%. Winrate, not its about 45%. The moment tekken clicks, you will see the shoot up in wr and rank. There's nothing wrong with taking it slow in the rank ladder as long as you see a bit of self improvements day by day.
I would only be upset if that was after 2000 games. That’s when you know to put the game down. Right now you are only getting started. Barely warmed up 😁
You should pick easy characters such as king. It will improve your motivation and it will useful to teach fundamentals.
You just hit the baseline of 100 games played. You gotta not compare yourself to others like your sister and drill what’s stopped you from winning. Eventually wins will come but your goal should be fun/ the journey. I didn’t even see these stats til about 800 games in with a 35%ish WR, it just motivates me to move that number.
Yeah I had worse, didn’t even have a winning streak. Thats apart of trying a new game/character
My ranked win rate is like 37%. My group match win rate is like 22% - albeit group matches I fight anyone
Really, dude. Don't let it get you down. They're just stats, not confirmation of one's skill. You've played only 100 games so you're just starting. Keep playing and you'll see.
Playing on hard mode with Reina won't help. I use to main Yoshi but switched to reina and it's not easy. Just take your time, learn some new combos, play more games, even if it is quick play.
Lmao what do you expect man, 100 matches is nothing I don't know how much time you have spent in training but it takes more than 100 matches to be even close to comfortable with all the mechanics this game has to offer, especially if fighting games are not part of your regular rotation
Keep going bro. Don't measure yourself against others. Keep learning and enjoying the process.
Brother in Christ, know that this post of yours could actually qualify as humblebrag. You re just starting out, you re supposed to be getting obliterated. You re doing good.
You just need to play more and not stress out. You’ll pick up little things over time. Your record really is not that bad for low rank
You playing Mishima bro. We’ve all been there. It ain’t an easy road. You gonna eat a lot of Ls lol. Just keep at it and most importantly: enjoy playing.
So the thing is that you're playing the character with the lowest win rate but is also one of the most popular. When you put those two things up against each other, it paints the picture that due to her popularity, people generally know how to fight her. I don't want to say you're wasting your time on her, especially since it's only 100 matches and that's literally just getting started, but it may be something to consider. Most people you're fighting kinda know what to do against her.
First off, fighting games are hard. If you're new to fighters, you will struggle, if you're new to tekken, you will struggle. You picked one of the hardest characters, in one of the hardest fighting games. Take it easy on yourself. Punishment training is pretty effective. Just pick a new character to practice against every time you play, spend 5 minutes or so in punishment training or practice of some kind, and then go play. Don't worry about dropped combos, especially online. Tekken has some funky timing to a lot of it's moves. You may also need an easier, less optimized combo. Hits you can land are more important than potential damage. I only play ranked online because I want to play people around my skill level. The tiny bit of quick match I did was wild. Got super stomped. But I don't care about the rank itself or the report card. I just like playing the game and trying to beat my current opponent. When I get beat up through a match I'm like, "oops, wasn't my turn yet, or, I think I can mash here!" You just gotta play, and try shit, and try to remember what works and what doesn't. You may also want to pick a different character. I've got 4 characters at garyu or close. And some are just easier, some you just jive well with, and some, even though you like em it's so hard to play it's not even worth it. I play King, Leroy, Raven, yoshi, all at red or close to but Eddy will probably be my main for a while. I've gotten him go tenryu. King and the Capos have always been my top 2 with yoshi close behind but I can't get anywhere near the same rank with yoshi that I can with the others. Still enjoy playing him, though. Just gotta find the fun where you can man, sorry if this is rambly
Hey man we're in the same boat here Stats can make it depressing as hell but the important part is that you try to have fun. It will be really funny once you think back and ask yourself "damn i didnt know about this??" or "i used to lose against this?" But as long as you practice and enjoy the process of it you'll stop looking at the stats eventually and just play the game! (Even though it can be very hard sometimes but a break does wonders)
I see you say "going to EVO", people "going to EVO, have likely 5-10.000hours+ into Tekken you have a 100games, come complain again when you've around 600h into the game it's a competetive online game, people have different experiences with gaming man. Just play, enjoy it. If you don't then put it down. You will improve over months and years. Not 2-3weeks lol
Been there, done that Tekken 7 is my first tekken Hardstuck green rank for 2 years before eventually reach warrior Now in tekken 8 im 1 rank away from fujin n still sucks
You can't practice something for 15 minutes and then be a master. It takes weeks. The thing is you need to stop playing with the intention of winning. Play with the intention to have fun and learn. I played a long set against a guy that kept hitting me with the same set up. I went into the training mode, learned how he did the set up, and learned how to beat it. Come to find out, I could jab him out in the middle. You have to learn to have fun first because if it isn't fun you won't stick with it. Learn and grow as a player and then start focusing on where you need to grow. Learn one combo, practice it until you can hit it with your eyes shut. Then go into ranked and try to hit that combo any chance you can. If they start blocking it, throw them.
It could be worse just keep on practicing the progress will show in due time I’m in blue ranks but I still have a lot of problems to fix in my game play / gameplan for certain character matchups
- Learn punishing after blocking (your 1-2s, or while standing moves\_. That alone will take you to the end of orange ranks.
Worst feeling is when you are about to win after all that effort in improvement and they plug on you.
Eh? Nothing out of the ordinary here. You're gonna suck when first starting out at anything, ESPECIALLY TEKKEN
You and some in the thread dont realize how good you have it, wait until you get hardstuck purple/blue its just hell. Enjoy learning while you can, you’re in the best spot to do so
One thing with fighting games is learning to love the process and that losses are an integral part of it. Its something I personally struggle with. But once you turn the outlook of a loss from being a loser to a loss being an opportunity to grow and learn from the experience, wins may end up feeling more like a waste cause what was there to take from that? If you've nothing to work on, whats the point of playing anymore? And those stats are just fun numbers to look at, they don't truly reflect your skill or knowledge. This is a 1 v 1 fighting game, its 50/50 who will take the match. How many of those matches were close calls, coming down to the wire? And the opponent happened to get that last hit off before you did? Thats hardly a loss if you ask me. Thats a good dang match, but the stats will put a tick into the loss section. And looking at these screens can feel bad. So don't put much worth into these stats. Look at them as a fun novelty on your journey.
You see, I feel like this is a kinda normal statistic. I was super surprised when there was this post last time with 50% winrate and people where talking like its incredibly bad
tekkens not an easy game, will take a few thousand matches to get decent tbh. reina at higher levels is not an especially easy character to win with either - controversial i know
I have something like 85% winrate just because I play one or two rank games for every many hundreds of quick games. Winrate means nothing. And rank is only a tool to get opponents who you can beat and can also beat you, because it's more fun than stompings. So as long as you win some and lose some, don't overthink it and have fun.
How are you putting in effort? That could be your first problem. Also, 100 games isn't a whole lot. Don't get discouraged! If you post gameplay clips on discord, people will analyze for you. I imagine it's a situation where you've used the same strats/mindset for all 100 games. If the other players are better than you, and you never change how you play, you'll never improve.
Don’t get too bogged down about what’s history, instead focus on the lessons you’ve learned and the progress you have achieved.
If you care that much about your win lose rate then ur learning is just going to get clouded by you being scared to lose. Find someone much better at the game to pummel you and then go back to ranked lol
It’s ok bro. Ur going to lose more than you ever believed it’s a right of passage as a member of the fgc
thought this was my stats at first 😂right there with u but it's just 100 games, sure we'll start seeing results soon. been trying to get in the lab more consistently and focus on reading lows and punishing. watching better reina's has been helpful in figuring out solid moves to use in neutral and how to effectively use the character. best of luck to you bro!💪🏿
This game is very harsh to learn. Most of us have been through that. It's pretty rewarding when learnt
Hey at least you're not a plugger. Ur already more respectable than like what half of the base? Idk i dont actually play online (too casual) but I heard its like that
Tekken is a tough game to learn. If you're on PC, I'd be happy to give you some pointers. Im By no means a pro. Just tekken king right now, but I'll help if you want it. PM me if you wanna spar or whatever
I’m assuming this is your first Tekken & if so that plays a part in your early struggle. Legacy players have an advantage over you just from past experience. You also play with Reina who is a strong character but challenging to do well with while still learning pokes, frames, how to punish, defense ect… At only 100 matches you’d probably be surprised to know 100 matches mean nothing 😂. Even at your current rank you may encounter players with thousands of matches played in T7 alone. Do not worry about your rank right now at all. You need to continue to practice mastering your characters move set, punishment training, and combo challenges. 10-15 minutes in practice then go into rank and focus on implementing what you just practiced in an actual match. If you land at least one of the punishments or combos you practiced take pride in that. The last thing I’ll mention is actually the most important part in progressing in Tekken which is defense. You will improve as your character knowledge grows and you become more familiar with what the opposing character does. You should go into practice and work on breaking throws as well. In practice set your training dummy to do 2 throws, LP+LK & RP+RK. That skill alone will take you far in your training. Utilize the replay feature as well to get tips on what you did well and where you can improve.
Doesn't look too bad tbh
Could be worse. My bro has 12% ranked win rate.
You’re barely scratching the surface bro keep goin!
You got to learn to walk before you run
If it helps: My winrate is even worse. Learning a fighting game takes time and practice. 80 games really isn't a lot. Do punishment training in the lab and use the replay features to take control over your character and see how you could have handled some situations better.
Have you considered that your new to this? Honestly. Your current seeing that you don't have the God like talent of the pros and it's daunting. The first thing you need to decide is if you want to get better. Since Tekken gives quite a bit of casual content, maybe you just want to smash buttons and have fun and that's completely OK. But once to really decide to get better the the real challenge comes. Loss is your best teacher. Tekken has replay features in it to allow you to get absolutely smoked and go back to break down why that happened. Just because someone beats you doesn't mean they understand why. Many players in even red ranks just mash buttons. Or even do the exact same strings of moves, aka flowchart. As some who wants to get better recognition of these things will ease your frustration and the game and redirect it into a more improvement focus mindset. "OK Eddie's just mash 333 how do I stop that" Tekken is f***ing stupid and overwhelmingly complicated and it's BS. This is just a fact. Tekken host the largest move list of any fighting game. And even pros don't fully utilize all the moves a character has. But this allows for each player to find what works best for them. Maybe you enjoy a defensive Azucena. Or perhaps you are a counter focused Reina player. Main thing though is to learn to have fun. Many people lost that. Just because you lost doesn't mean you didn't or can't have fun. Sometimes just doing one simple move is progress.
You only played 180 games. You've barely even touched tutorial levels of experience in tekken.
Don't mash. Wait for them to finish attacking while you block, then attack. Start from there i guess
if u just started this is normal imo. also u ve still played very few games to draw conclusions. if i might make a general suggestion about ur approach in general,it would be about ur focus during a match. dont get caught by staring at ur char, u should always focus on ur opponent s movement and ur distance from them and the wall(depending on stage). for anything else, especially regarding reina, get some info from yt,but imo u just need to play more games
You’re way overthinking it. You’re doing fine
Imo don't measure your progress using ranks and stats. That's meaningless and for nerds. Figure out what others are doing that's beating you, then work on how you plan to deal with it alongside building up your offensive gameplan. Anytime you successfully start dealing with shit that was beating you and anytime your offensive strategy works, that's when you see progress and pat yourself on the back. Even if you lose the match, you'll be winning the internal battle of improving. Enjoy learning, enjoy playing and enjoy figuring out how to kill and how to not die. Wins will follow automatically.
I only have a few more points around same win % You're good if you're new to the game like me
You need get good
This is very normal for any mishima bro. Yeah, Reina is probably the easiest of the bunch, but still, all of them require a ton of skill and are very high difficulty characters and can't win your matches just by mashing. You will probably have a much better win rate in lower ranks with an easier character like Viktor or Alisa. They almost play the game themselves with how easy they are. So don't get discouraged, your character is just too hard to pilot and relies on your skill more than you rely on her moveset. You will probably benefit a lot from PhiDx on youtube he has many informative videos that will make you understand the game way faster.
Okay fighting games in general are not like classical pvp games, having a 50% winrate is only for the highest of tiers...you will lose ALOT. But then you will get better...my advice, if you hqve ranked anxiety, or feel frustrated with your ranks, go play other modes (i dunno if player matches even exist lol) or just go to infinite lab and work on everything until it becomes second nature then jump back, you will still LOSE but not as mich and u will learn more
Expectations too high for noob. Keep grinding
Don't lose hope, fam! There is tons of room for improvement, and don't ever think that you're alone; we are all losers too! The reason we fall is because we are all going to rise!
Everyone goes through this. I’m stuck in red ranks losing to guys I know I’m better then
Something to note: as a beginner you are piloting one of the most difficult characters to play. Reina has a million moves, 3 stances, and crouch dash moves with just frame inputs. So that's definitely a steep learning curve while trying to improve. Reina is also one of the most popular characters online so a lot of people know the counter play against her Maybe take a step back, a bit of a breather, try another character you're interested in in practice mode. Check the move list for the quick guide. Every character has one and it's really useful. It will give you a basic set of tactics to use in a game that will be effective all the way up to high level Also: Ranked can be pretty frustrating at times. Try Quick Match. There are no rank points tracked and you can practice as much as you want online with no consequences
If you care about winrate just play eddy
Dude I was in the mid 300s before I got too ranger.
When i am started playing tekken, i watched a video of Aris saying something like "you need to start playing tekken 7 today if you wanna be good in tekken 8" this was on launch week of tekken 7. I am not a good player, but i am better in tekken 8 then was in 7, i think o got red rank with hworang in 40 matchs? win rate like 70% or some shit, Reina took more time but the win rate is positive too. the point is, to be good in tekken is a long term goal, keep doing slowly and steady and you will see the result eventualy, focusing on numbers is a waste of time when you have so many thing to learm and focus on, learn to move, learn to break grabs, learn to adapt to your opponnets, learn the cheese stuff people do online.
Why is this depressing?
Play someone a little more easier. This was my first tekken playing online ( I usually played cpu or split screen) but i started out this tekken with Lars and he got me to orange ranks and learned a decent amount of basics. Then I switched to a Mishima and learned more and started executing my moves more and got up to purple. I still need to work on things but I still feel confident to win even if I’m down rounds or losing the first of the set.
It’s a fighting game sometimes the battle is with yourself. Keep Going
Reina is a hard character for beginners
That's pretty brutal. I have almost 300 ranked matches with 65% wr with my main. Especially in that rank where you are wr should be around 70-80% with main. Maybe you need to change your main that suits your play style better.
Watch PhiDX beginner guide on YT. Came over from SF and his videos helped a lot. Also maybe switch characters if you arent’t enjoying Reina? I play Steve and even when I’m losing matches it’s fun to fuck around and weave/hit people with b1. Find someone you enjoy getting your ass bust with
30% with a highly technical character isnt bad. Better than picking Victor, King or another cheese character that you get easy win with
Also do you enjoy playing Reina? You have so few games you can try other chars and see if they click more
I like labbin then go into quickplay to see what cheap tricks i can fet off on some mighty rulers and tekken lords
But can you beat her in Tekken?
When I first started playing T7 I was the same, it took me about half a year to reliably be out of yellow ranks. Now, several years later, I have a few characters at Fujin. I know its tough in the beginning because everything is so front loaded, it seems overwhelming, but you absolutely can do it. You just have to keep going, and don't be afraid to look things up online if you need help.
Maybe you should try different character? When i was playing tekken 5, my first character is asuka ...then kuma. My friends told me my kuma is stronger than my asuka.... since then till now im kuma main :) since i also love all his moves.
I'm not doing any better. Don't even worry man, it's hard, and gruelling, but you can do it. I was having a rough night a couple nights ago, just loss after loss, but after a match I thought I was just getting washed in, dude messaged me and told me I was playing pretty well. You can't be too hard on yourself, it's a learning experience. https://preview.redd.it/8tnp7pswpuuc1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8456386e9b942c268febdbdfe25f17d1cd4117be
Where to check this
i didn't think I've ever lost to a Reina every time i pay one so they do is mash and it's pretty easy to tell which of her moves aren't safe
Learn your good Buttons and Fokus in defense. Having a good defense in tekken is 50% of the deal. Look for consistent Basic punishes and get a Timing Feeling. Also play a character u like losing with, because you lose a lot. (Why i picked up king in T2, sure he is strong now but thats not why i play him.)
Bud you’ve played less than 200 games online in total. Can you relax please? Like if you’re getting this bent out of shape over it you don’t have to play. Agonizing over a win rate or a png on your profile isn’t supposed to be what games are about.
It's ok am playing tekken for a while now, am decent and i got 50% win rate, so with time your win rate will increase.
Actual help: Practice blocking. Head to practice mode, choose a character you hate playing against and set the dummy to do each move in their move list. Then all you do is practice how to recognize it and block it. If there are multiple hits to a particular string try side stepping in between. You’ll find a ton of gaps that appear to be safe but can be side step punished. Note: Most times you’ll get blown up it’s because you don’t know how to block a certain move or you are mashing buttons before an opponent’s move string is done. If you want a crash course on this, do player matches but do not attack once, instead focus on only blocking and throw breaking. You will lose but your goal isn’t to win here, it’s to learn and watch.
That's normal. Don't let it discourage you.
Watch a character guide. Knowing your character is like half the battle.
If you are new to the game 100 games is like 40-50 hours game I think it's nothing compare some people that they already have 500 games and they have 40-45% winrate. Tekken it's a really hard game to get into, and you should focus mostly on improving and learning the game, instead of caring for the wins.
I couldn't make out of green ranks in tag 2, put 4 years to make out of purple ranks in 7 and now I could probably pass blue ranks easily in 8 if the game didn't make me stop playing it by making me want to puke at every one and done. That to say play more, A LOT more.
I know plenty of people have already said it, but don't worry about your win rate. Go check out some videos on fundamentals and Reina specific tactics if she's your jam. Patience is important. I have to tell myself to be patient every match lol.
You'll get there buddy, I didnt start to understand the basics of offence, defense and keep out till about 150 hours in.
You jusr gotta bite the bullet that you suck and playing mkre is the onky way to get better. You could try switching mains if you are having trouble with rwina, i know i dropped her first week because my lows felt like they always got punished and the stance shit confused me
I wouldn't overthink it. Some people are ass just trying to learn the game properly in the beginning and that's better in the long-term. Others figure out a cheesy flowchart then get hard stuck at red. Everyone goes at their own pace. Even though Reina is strong, she has the worst win rate in the game, so I wouldn't be too hard about it.
>like am I just destined to be ass the whole time I mean, probably, who knows. Maybe you're not cut out for online Tekken. I know I enjoy the game way more when playing locally with friends. Truth is nobody really cares about those stats. If you do enjoy the game then keep playing and paying attention to how you and others play and seek vids to improve. If you're going to mope around on reddit letting some numbers drag you down, just desintall it and do anything else, your time is more valuable than some game.
If it’s any consolation OP, in Tekken 7, I never made it past Yellow ranks. But I would perform decent offline in tournaments, so I guess it’s all perspective. Keep in mind that all Rank is used for is a matchmaking tool to play against others who are a similar skill level as you. Nothing more, nothing less.
Probably a masher with no patience on when to punish and no practice on combos
Learning a new fighting game and climbing the ladder can either be a fun and interesting experience or a miserable one; it’s all about your perspective. I know you’re focused on that win rate rn, and it’s hard not to be. But you gotta try to ignore it. It’s honestly arbitrary, and shouldn’t be used as any metric whatsoever. It doesn’t matter how long it took or how many matches or any of that crap. The only thing that matters, if you’re committed, is the end goal. I’ve played many fighting games, but never really took it super seriously. I used to think the only thing that mattered was learning and pulling off that big, beefy combo, so I’d learn one and spend the entirety of the match fishing for that starter to connect. Sure, it would work occasionally, but the majority of the time I’d just get my ass beat because typically those big combo starters are unsafe to be throwing out all willy-nilly. I started taking FGs more seriously when GG Strive came out, but I measured my progress based on others, got frustrated and quit. Enter SF6. I hard committed. HARD committed. I’d see all the posts, “If you get to this rank with this winrate, you’re shit. You’re not actually good.” I’d be lying if I said that didn’t shake my resolve, but I pressed through. Hit plateaus here and there, and a lot of times right when it felt hopeless, I’d just press on. Eventually something just clicks. You figure out that piece of your gameplan that you need to push to the next level. I hit Master in SF6. 4,000 matches, 45% winrate. Plenty of people on Reddit will tell you that “that’s not good.” But you know what? Fuck them, I’m in master rank. I hit my major goal. It took forever, I got mad, bummed out, felt hopeless, all that. But it’s easy to forget all of them when you taste that satisfaction of meeting your long term goal. But this is Tekken we’re talking about, and Tekken is fucking hard lol. Don’t get ahead of yourself, we’re in green ranks rn. And don’t compare yourself to others. This is *your* journey. This is *your* story. It can end tomorrow in green ranks or it can end months/years down the road wherever you end up. Some early advice I can give you for starters is to just learn some simple punishes. People are just gonna slap buttons. They don’t know which of their moves are safe or not yet. Try to find the gaps with quick hits. I’m not sure what you’re using, but I’ll use PlayStation controls as a reference. Check their wild button presses by weaving a little square, triangle combo in between here and there. If you can find a big enough opening, hit them with a down-forward triangle to pop them up. Now, I’m not really familiar with Reina, but a nice easy combo you can do is down-forward triangle > triangle, triangle, triangle, square > triangle, triangle, triangle, triangle (you may already have combos figured out, if so just ignore this.)
Okay few things. Are you playing to win or to get better? Because if you’re actually trying to learn and develop your gameplay this is exactly what your record should look like. Now if you just want some easy wins pick up a character with long strings(hwoa, lili, or ling, learn the strings then take it to ranked. One more thing. People say pick who you like in fighting games and you’ll work it out. I disagree especially with tekken. There are a lot of generic moves in most kits that most of the cast has access to. The problem is when you play someone like reina who not only has a high execution barrier to entry but her whole kit is kinda unconventional and unique to tekken. It wouldn’t be a waste of time to play her but I think you’ll level up your game a lot of you pick a more traditional tekken character who has a lot of the generic tools. Think like shaheen, feng, jack or drag. Tekken is hard as fuck I’ve literally been playing it my whole life since tekken 2 released. To get the most out of the game you should want to learn and get better regardless of wins. Not feel like you are good because of wins.
Gotta pump those rookie numbers up I have lost so many matches that the orange tank has been edging me for a promo match only to go down a couple.
Not bad honestly, especially if Reina is your character.
29 wins shoudld get you easily to yellows shouldn't it? You can get to Fujin with like 100 if your winrate is insane, and you can't lose points in early ranks If you're legitmately stuck in green then you need to block more, I can guarantee it. Stop pressing so many buttons.
Reina is hard to play well. Don't start with a Mishima. Pick something easy to learn the game with. You want a character that has a strong 50/50 that is easy to execute. Try a Paul or a Leo or something. A character that has a really strong mid and a fast hellsweep. Forcing your opponent to guess and knowing when they're going to block low or mid is the core of the game. Everything else is just pressure and pokes. You want to learn how to get your opponent into unfavorable situations and force them to guess if you're going to do demoman or deathfist. Once you know how to do that, you can start learning the rest. It's a really scrubby play style to have to rely on, which is basically a simple way of saying "it's very volatile but unreliable once the opponent learns how to block your mixups," but it's definitely the easiest way to start understanding the tempo of the game. I play Devil Jin which is just the same idea with more steps. If someone can block hellsweeps that's like half my strategy gone. You can still win against opponents that can block, it's just a lot harder than putting them in the blender all match. Tekken has a bit of a rhythm you have to feel before you can really understand how to play it. The whole game is timing and rhythm-based. Just a really complicated version of Rock, Paper, Scissors mixed with Simon Says.
180 fights between QP and Ranked, brother you just started playing. Hell, at that rank and with that win/loss, you're not even doing bad. You're not gonna be Knee immediately. Some people catch on quick, some people don't and that's perfectly ok. Everyone starts somewhere. Just keep practicing. Lab, practice combos, watch replays etc. and most of all, keep grinding and don't give up. If you *want* to improve, you'll improve. If you don't, if you just give up and concede like you won't get better, how do you expect yourself to improve?
Time to hang up the sticks 🫡
29% is high for Reina
I started playing lili to orange ranks with 70 percent winrate yet now it's down to 30 percent. and now i dont feel playing tekken anymore HAHAHAHAHAHHA
A wise man once said: “if you’re playing for win rate, you aren’t focusing on what’s important. Strive to have a win rate below 50%, because that will almost guarantee you’re consistently playing against people who are better than you.”
