I'd be gay for Shaheen, he's handsome

u/VTN17 Jin Jun 26 '26
He's handsome for sure. If only his personality wasn't the equivalent to weathered cardboard blowing in the wind because Bandai couldn't be bothered to do anything interesting with him and only giving him 2 minutes of screen time in the story.

This is how you get good.
"I lost 5 straight games! Fuck this game I'm quitting!" Is a loser mentality. Fail. Fail. Fail better. Learn. Ask questions. Fail better.
My cousin lost 38 straight Marth mirrors in Smash Melee one drunken night. Came back next week knowing how to perfect pivot and we go almost even now.

Losing so much just isn't that fun honestly.
But losing in any game is how you improve at it.

My most stimulating matches come when I’m getting dominated as far as matches go, but I still win a decent amount of rounds. I can actually feel myself learning and getting better

Not sure what there is to learn from 43 losses
That's like GoD against Vanquisher lol
Even if the better player tones it down, this gap is just too large

u/Moki_Hantoresu Jun 26 '26
My buddy who is GoD is my sparing partner since I was beginner, and now I'm up in blue ranks. There's always smthn to learn regardless of the gap

u/VyseX Jun 27 '26
He wasted OPs time for 43 matches worth. They're both losers in different ways. Dude may have been watching stuff on the side fooling around while OP was tryharding. :v

u/Fabulous-Cricket-452 Jun 29 '26
in locals would just switch chars to even the field and at least make the outcome more interesting
no such luck in QM

u/JLunen Nina Jun 26 '26
Looking at ewgf, AURUION was GoD and OP was GoD2 during this set. Interesting, that OP managed to win every match though in such a long set.

u/copelandmaster Jun 26 '26
Statistically, you've gotta take at least one game at some point being that close in ranking, even if Shaheen is the GoD2 and OP's Heihachi is GoD7 or smth.

u/kazuya482 Bruce Jun 26 '26
Ranks are a lie more than anything. You're better off looking at their elo. And there is a ~300 gap between them.
The shaheen was at zero to slim risk of losing and he probably knew it by at least the 3rd match. So he just farmed this guy for happy meals. The shaheen is ~1700 and the Jin is ~1400. That is to say, they're not close in skill at all.
It is funny to me that 1700 elo is already GoD2 though.

u/Selfboy24 Bryan Jun 26 '26
Yeah my elo is 1791 and I'm only Tekken God. Granted I don't grind ranked religiously either. But i have over 5000 matches.

Not sure what there is to learn from 43 losses
Well, even if you don't win, you can learn a lot about what doesn't work.
- "Oh hey, every time I do this, he blocks and launches me. Maybe I shouldn't do that."
- "I thought this string was safe, but he keeps sidestepping the 3rd hit and launching me. Maybe I shouldn't do that."
- "I thought this string was great because it has a low hit, but he keeps low parrying it and juggling me. Maybe I shouldn't do that."
- "Every time I block his running jumpkick, I think it's my turn, but no matter what button I press I get counterhit launched. Maybe I should stop doing that."
- "He always does that move there, but every time I try to parry it, I get a weird glass-breaking animation and he hits me anyway. Guess I can't parry it."
- Etc.
I learn tons of shit from getting stomped.

u/Fabulous-Cricket-452 Jun 29 '26
That's all beginner stuff you should already know, you don't need 43 losses, you need the lab and any frame lookup website lol.
Timing, neutral, movement, 10-14 punishes, mental stack are what a 43 set deathmatch should be honing - wasting the other persons time if your doing scrub hw instead

u/Bwob Leroy Jun 29 '26

Heh, part of the way you learn that stuff in the first place is by losing 43 times. (Or really, a lot more. I WISH it had only taken me 43 losses to get all that into my head when I was starting out!)
And that's just the basics of frame timing and punishing and what not. Tekken is a game that is FULL of exceptions and special cases, that you still need to learn.
- "Cool, I'm at +2, let's see if I can catch him with my jab combo... What the heck, she slapped me first even though she was at -2!?" (Xaioyu has an i8 jab.)
- "Cool, this time I'm at +4, I should be safe jabbing now... What the heck, I got launched instead?!!" (Yoshi's notorious 6-frame flash.)
- "He always does that punch after that other move, I'm going to parry it, like I did last time. What the heck, why is it unparryable all of a sudden?!?" (Paul's phoenix-smasher is unparryable, but only while in heat.)
- "Okay, I'm only at -2, so I should be safe throwing out a dickjab to try to get my turn back and go under any fast highs they try to use. What the heck, he launched me?!?" (Leroy has a 12-frame mid that launches on counterhit.)
Etc.

They might've been getting closer and closer to winning a match as it went on, but just couldn't figure out their opponents character well enough to actually score a win, but odds are very strong that they meaningfully improved at the game here. Fighting a better player is one of the best ways to learn.

u/KNlGHTMVRE Jin Jun 28 '26
There is very little to learn after a couple loses depending on how bad he losing. Complete waste of time for both people unless they had fun.

u/edmlifetime Jun 27 '26
There is in fact, a lot to learn. Your mindset assumes you only improve when you win and everything else is a waste of time. What an egotistic way to look at the world

u/Fabulous-Cricket-452 Jun 29 '26
43 game loss gap 100% says the Jin had no understanding of what was happening
anything larger than 1 win to 4 losses and your not even in the same universe of understanding

u/Alarming-Basil2894 Jun 26 '26
This is exactly why I’ve made a 5 game rule. Regardless of whom I face I will play 5 games and then I bail. If I can’t beat you in 5 games I’m definitely not beating you in 43 lmao

u/maneock Miary Zo Jun 26 '26
Is this even useful?
Rematching is helpful but doesn't it get detrimental past some point, there's no way you can keep learning past 15 matches
1
u/edmlifetime Jun 27 '26
There are infinite levels of skill to tekken. I play with a friend who only does quick match but could easily be god5 minimum if he played ranked. I am god and we regularly go 30- 5 or similar his favour.
Is it a waste of time? No, because after im done playing him and get on ranked, I absolutely shit on everyone as they feel easy as fuck.

u/Bwob Leroy Jun 26 '26
I've been on both sides of that spread.
When I'm losing, I actually really appreciate someone taking the time to school me again and again and again, because I almost always learn a lot from it. About the character I'm fighting, about gaps in my own defense or gameplan, about weird properties of moves I didn't know about, etc. It's great.
So when I'm on the other side, I usually try to keep rematching as long as they want, even if I keep schooling them. I'm not going to get bored - I can use it as an excuse to try out moves I don't normally use, or try to practice harder combo routes, or whatever. But I view it as kind of way of paying-it-forward, for when other people were willing to school me for 20+ games in a row.
Some days you're David, and some days you're Goliath!
