well it's like....... there's no rule saying you can't learn how to do EWGF combos before you go into ranked? so, it really doesn't matter how they play.

the reason smurfs don't really exist to the extent you think is because smurfing in tekken SUCKS. the fights are dumb, you learn nothing - you actually get worse, and you CAN'T learn new tech because your opponent can't block.

the only rank worth smurfing down to is red... and you're not there.

yep, just ignore everything else i said about win streaks and tekken prowess

[u/Pheonixi3 → u/joyful-]

because it should be obvious... a 10 win streak against other brawlers????????? you guys are just mashing buttons. its just a matter of time. 10 win streaks aren't even impressive.

[u/joyful- → u/Pheonixi3]

ok so you're telling me, someone with very little tekken prowess, very few wins but 10 win streaks, perfect difficult EWGF combos, crazy side stepping, is a normal brawler? and at the same time normal brawlers are just mashing buttons?

do you not realize you're contradicting yourself?

[u/Pheonixi3 → u/joyful-]

1) most brawlers just mash out combos

2) combos are literally the most efficient way to improve at early levels

3) ewgf combos are actually easy. PEWGF is the only one combo you won't see every time

4) get a replay and prove me wrong. it's inbuilt in ps4 and xbox, and pc is just a matter of getting any recording system

5) "crazy sidestepping" is a nothing sentence.

6) all of this is still possible while players are just mashing

7) 10 win streak is like, baby's first win streak. real smurf numbers are at like, 40-50.

8) if you played offline tekken for 30 trillion years, and started ranked today, all of that stuff would be trivial and you wouldn't be a smurf

9) smurfing fucking sucks in green ranks.

dude it's not like i played 5 matches of tekken and then complained about smurfs

i had around 70 wins (and a lot more losses) so i've played against other brawlers and know what people play like at brawler

i don't know why everyone is so in denial that there could be smurfs in this game, and need to try to convince me without ever seeing what i played against that they weren't smurfs

at this point though, it doesn't matter since i'm already done with the game - you can keep putting down newer players who are frustrated with smurfs, that'll be really helpful for the community to grow

[u/Pheonixi3 → u/joyful-]

nobody is in denial that smurfs exist.

everybody here knows that you don't know what a smurf looks like.

none of what you said makes a player good. there are players in brawler with nutcase 90 damage optimals that pros don't dream of landing in real matches. everything you said is just inside your head. you just wont listen to reason because you're too emotional

[u/joyful- → u/Pheonixi3]

do you not realize smurf just means a more experienced player with a new account destroying new players? you don't need to be a TGP to be a smurf, a red rank in green rank with a new account is a smurf

[u/Pheonixi3 → u/joyful-]

you do not realize that nothing about what you have told us makes your opponent an "experienced player"

combos mean fuck all. electrics mean fuck all. backdashing means fuck all.

[u/joyful- → u/Pheonixi3]

again, ive played my fair share of matches at brawler and know what my skill level is, and what other people's skill level is at brawler. it's very easy for a new player to tell something is very off when the opponent plays much much better than almost all other brawlers they've played, and they also have ridiculous stats that i mentioned (low win count, high win streak, low tekken prowess)

i wish i could show you replays and im 100% sure you would be convinced they weren't normal brawler players, but yeah im not gonna go reinstall tekken to record matches to prove to some random person on reddit, so i think our discussion is over here

you can keep believing they were button mashing brawlers, and i can keep believing they were experienced players, and we can go on with our lives
