eeeyyyy got Reina to Tekken God!

(full disclosure, lost the next two games to the Miary; it's a new matchup for everybody. But losing the rest of the set isn't enough to demote you off Tekken God!)

Believe it or not, user DELETE REINA was not happy about fighting my Reina.

Happy Thanksgiving; here's a Nina Williams promo

(... not *entirely* carried by Kazuya Mishima??)

(respek to this Lee player, they were really good)

(my Nina combos could use some optimization for sure still. I think if I get the good combos consistent, my Nina could work great)

They were recording the "alexr cannot get out of Tekken God" community podcast live today and they have been *utterly unable to cope* since the news broke. It's more of a mess over there than it's ever been. They're in full-blown panic mode.

(I beat the Reina again for the second match; they couldn't guess when the hellsweeps were coming. Which was "over and over".)

#combotober Day 31: FREE SPACE

It's Kazuya Mishima.

The raw CH df2 PEWGF. It's one of the greatest things possible in Tekken. I can do it in practice mode sometimes. But if you're just a little clever about your frame situations you can fish for *trades* on your df2 that give you more frames for the pickup. Like this...

- be Kazuya at +4 and they jab...
CH df2 (trade) ewgf ewgf microdash df+3 df+1,df+2 T! ssr4,1 (heatburst) df+1,4 W! cd+1+2 (wallbreak) ff+2~f (heatdash) iwr3

This is a reminder to myself to try to fish for trades like this more often.

Happy Halloween! Happy #Combotober!!

#combotober Day 30: Combo that spends the most meters

The most meters you can spend in Tekken 7 with an original Tekken character -- it's Eliza using a full stick of blood meter & also her rage.

I really like Eliza. She's fun and interesting and as a mostly-3D player I had never been in the habit of doing tiger knee motions on a special moves until I spent some time with her in Tekken 7. But she's got some really cool execution! An introductory slightly-hard thing you can do with her (shown here) is picking up for a combo off her slide with a fast TK'd ex divekick.

f+4 MGL4 tk'd EX air divekick S! f+4 MGL1 1 qcb+1+2 W! b+3+4

(after playing some Eliza I found I could instant-air-legs with Chun in SFV although that had already been nerfed to be less-useful)

#combotober Day 29: Combo that starts from across the screen

I have a soft spot for klassic MK. I used to love Mortal Kombat so much; like in middle school in the 90s, I was firmly in the MK kamp. I liked Street Fighter II of course, but I *loved* Mortal Kombat. For at least one or maybe a couple of Halloweens circa 1993-1995 range, I was Scorpion.

I was so happy at EVO over the summer when I got to meet Real IRL Sonya Blade, Kerri Hoskins. I am exactly the target audience for the Kollection.

Scorpion in MK Trilogy -- in the Kollection, which just dropped minutes ago, and I am elated to finally have a training mode for these games.

#combotober Day 28: Highest vertical distance traveled

I don't think I posted any Tekken 7 Kazuya yet this whole combotober? Have a festive pumpkin hat Kazuya and Diabolical James.

anti-air lasers b+2,1 S! cd1~uf (FLOOR BREAK) cd+4,1,~cd+1~uf

DID YOU KNOW that in Tekken 7 and before, when Devil Jin or Angel are flying, they count as blocking?? That's no longer the case in Tekken 8. It's very strange. You could have been using neutral flight as a stalling tactic. The block animation for blocking something while you're in the air is so funny.
