A new person stands their best chance with a solid, simple, fundamentals based character like Ryu or Guile imo.

One of the main reasons, silly as it sounds, that I play SF compared to other games is because you can be good at it without a massive amount of combo training and because you don't end up in a 1 player game when you get hit. That's something I HATE as a new player in an FG. In SF4 you're always back in control within 5 seconds or so. In something like Marvel it can be 20+. Tekken isn't as bad but it still feels, when I play competitively, that because I don't know a particular string for some random character I have to sit there and get comboed after a high low mix up for a good while. It feels (and I accept that I might be completely wrong here as I'm not good at the game, but you're asking why I don't play) like it doesn't matter how good your FG fundamentals are at all at my level, because you're always going to get caught by these mix ups. To me, with my limited time, that means I will usually pick SF off the shelf first, but doesn't mean I don't accept that I could really enjoy Tekken if I put actual effort into it.

This aint silly man, not in my opinion atleast. It's extremely frustrating when a player cannot influence the game he's playing.

You hit the nail on the head here.
The biggest problem with tekken is that the skill/info/tactics of defending are not made easily obtainable.
They don't need to make the game easier or even remove attacks.

There should be a "beat the string mode";
In this mode you'd be introduced to the various methods around strings and exposing there holes: duck launch/ss/low crush/high crush/duck jab/char. spec. attacks,
Then you select a character and the game lets you defend against a string a couple of times, AND OFFERS suggestions if you aint doing so well.
Then moves on to the next string. Obviously you should be able to setup certain specific strings and set it on random.
This mode should be incentivised! Character unlockables/panels/customizations/whatever
AND, it would be great if you could select it as a mini game whilst waiting for you next online match.

At the moment, you can set this up yourself, but having to go into practice mode and manually set up defending every time and with out any hints/tips is tedious, to say the bloody least!
It's a huge deterrent.

@Novi:
What specifically are you having trouble with when fighting against Hwo?
He certainly doesn't need a nerf man! He's ok in the game, but nowhere near OP.

@Gussy:
You don't always need to "phuck up" to get lauched twice in a game where knowledge, and more specifically in this instance, LACK OF it, are key.

I've always thought Yoshi would be strong vs Hwo because of flash (i6) interrupting his FLA pressure.

I wouldn't say he has amazing range, he has to be in your face for his stuff to work, outside of iWR3 which can be stepped anyway.

Jack and T.Ogre would have way better range than him, quite a few chars would actually : P

Bare with me, this Spanish keyboard is confusing. xD

Flash doesnt work at all against Hwo. You would think it though. I would go out on a limb and say he´s the least flashed character I´ve faced. He never gets close enough or lead into something where it could work. AK works so much better as an example because of d1, d1to4, or d4 as examples. Yosh doesn´t really have any of that apart from d4 but it´s still a bit too slow and it´s a little risky with how fast he is up close.

It´s the same with Jack & Jinpachi, really. Can use it against Ogre, sometimes Panda (out of the guys with good range). Ugh, I just find him annoying. It´s probably the match-up more than anything.

He's certainly better than ok. He probably has the best range in the game and very easy to spam with. It becomes quesswork to just prevent strings from hitting you online.

No. Hwo is rated A/A- at most. And definitely range is one of he weakest attributes.
He has some nice range moves like RFF f,f+3, LFS b+3, RFS b+4 and WR 3 as gussy said and he did receive a buff with in his LFF 4 but I certainly wouldn't say he has great, even good range.

Offline? I don't know anyone to play regularly offline so I can't really say.

Well, you know me now
I'd gladly sit with you and give you some games and talk about ways around Hwo. If your interested let us know the next time your able to head into XGC and hopefully we can arrange something.
If you can't wait and want some reading I wrote loads of anti-hwo stuff on TZ:

(there's even more further back in those threads)
CaCarm talks a lot of useful stuff in there too.

If you've any questions in particular you can hit me up there/here or PM me.

I can't stream on my internet in Wexford.... keep me updated! Here or FB plz!

I personally wouldn't say Tekken is "harder" than any other FG out there, it's just that the learning curve is higher and takes exponentially more dedication and effort to reach a mid-high level in the game, IMO

@BSG:
It's a really good interview. You can really see that Harada tries so hard to understand and address as many concerns as possible.
He spoke a bit about making the casual player more aware of the depth of the game whilst still allowing them to enjoy the game regardless of that depth.
If he walk's the walk, this could be the best tekken yet.

Worried a little about the wake-up system though. Wonder how/what they'll change.

Realy pleased they're making it largely story focused.

Yeah there's a surprisingly good scene over there, particularly in Pakistan where the standard is.... scary.

Kinda reminds me of Etizo AC

Really? God is there any links to SVB videos and results?

Thanks!

It's confirmed, her name has been around since T2 and no one caught onto it til recently, pretty nuts lol

It's just been announced and there's no ingame material available whatsoever, a release date is a long way off.
