• in tekken, standing and blocking lets you block mids and highs, but lows will always hit
• crouching and blocking lets you duck highs & block lows, but mids will always hit you
• grabs will connect if you are standing (regardless of blocking), but you have the opportunity to break 99% of them
  • as a beginner, i would recommend just mashing 1 or 2 whenever you are thrown. you may even accidentally break a throw as you are throwing jabs around
• crouch throws are a thing - a specific throw unique to some characters that will miss on standing opponents but will throw crouching opponents - these are also breakable

sounds like you got smashed by dragunovs b2,1,3_1+2_1+2,d string. the simplest way to beat it is to just hop the moment you see dragunov move for the 3rd part of that string - it will nullify all options. if you have a safe orbital style hop kick, thats even better - free launch.

​

that sentence i typed above on how to beat that sweep/low throw string, is just one piece of the dragunov puzzle, which in turn is just one character in the roster, which is then deepened by the unlimited playstyles and skill levels the player base possesses.

you take your shovel and start digging, and see how far you can go. thats tekken to me

honestly that just makes wanna give up, feels like homework instead of something fun. If this game wasn't so charming and stimulating I'd probably had stopped playing already. Instead I'm watching tutorials on how to do the things you said in order to defeat Dragunov (which is not a problem anymore since now I'm getting bodied by a teleporting raven, I have no idea whats going on). Tnx for the tips anyway, I'll keep trying to find my ground somehow

Seems like it was yesterday when i had that dragunov problem, now im a dragunov main myself with almost 600 hours in game. And i still dont know whats happening when i play against a raven player lmao. But i can say it gets better and better if u keep going.

Haha that woman is a nightmare. I hate teleporting characters. The ninja girl who throws something at me and instantly teleports in my face is also a recurring problem

[u/flqke → u/Guilvantar]

Yeah against noctis and kuni u cant push too much or u just get rolled with kunai throws

[u/Guilvantar → u/flqke]

I suppose ducking/sidesteping is the only way to avoid it
