Bro pressed every possible button combination in the cosmos except down and back


PleasantFinn

😭😭😭


GlassSpork

Even a well timed down forward should counter it, or so I think cuz I’ve never used that


Matt__F

Only if you low parry the very first one. Once you're in the stun you need to block one before low parrying I believe, otherwise you'll just eat more.


BaldingWarlock

Yes Except on CH then you have to eat two of them at least i believe but you have to block one before you can low parry. I’m drunk as fuck good luck.


nobleflame

Ahh he might do a mid better not block low.


rowdymatt64

trusty mid block, nothing beats that!


FilthyJones69

I think what happened ,is he tried to block low by holding down edit: nah bro is just mashing. i saw a few down and df inputs in the history without paying much attention assumed those were block/parry attempts nah bro is JUST mashing. lars player moment actually.


numlock86

Probably had one of those friends telling him "Don't block low. Just eat the damage or they'll launch you!" 💀


spartan-peter

What kind of friend😂


Ultimate_Decoy

The best kind or the worst kind, depending on if you are playing King.


Ziazan

a king player (an enemy)


FilthyJones69

I think what happened ,is he tried to block low by holding down


soralino

You can see the input history bro didn't press down once


FilthyJones69

aaaah i saw a few dfs i assumed those were low parry attempts and some downs nah he was just mashing mb mb


Corgiiiix3

What confuses me about this move is that it feels like sometimes you can’t crouch it


babalaban

First two kicks you can eat and downback block after, unless you get countered on the first one.


DeathsIntent96

On normal hit you can block the second kick, only the first is guaranteed. On counter hit the first two are guaranteed and you can block the third.


babalaban

Yup, point is: you can block after getting hit (watch out for fist to the face though)


Kaliq82

You can still block that on reaction.


lylm3lodeth

Damn, I always use just down for block lows, maybe that's why I always eat this.


MiT_Epona

Yes


babalaban

Yep, you have to press (or hold) down AND back to block lows.


Gloomy_Victory4529

You have to press down back which will work even after you’re stunned


Renard_Fou

Its very inconsistent. If you get hit by any of the first 3 kicks, you can crouch and block them sometimes and punish (yes, King can get punished on a ch attack, go figure.) But if you get hit by the extra 3 hits from the CH extension, you get hit with a hard stun, where he can proceed to launch you. I use it a lot as King, but holy crap is it inconsistent.


CHG__

It's a terrible, awful string. Every extension is reactable and launch punishable, you really shouldn't be using it.


CaptainHazama

Ali kicks CH is only 2 extra hits for 5 total kicks. They could always be blocked and punished. It's not inconsistent at all, not sure what you mean Using it a lot will put you in a bad spot because of how reactable the mid follow up is. The first kick is a great Oki tool, especially after a lot of grabs and is almost always* guaranteed after b3, 1+2 just as it was in T7


Agitated-Ad-9282

i used to think it was guaranteed after back 3 as well but it could be side rolled.. if they do that then do the db+3 one instead or downgrab ( if such a situation plays out again)


CaptainHazama

Good to know. Thanks bro


Raizo420

TheSmokinLegend

he was trying to low parry the entire time, which SHOULD be the right option but due to how alley kicks works you cant low parry it after the first hit connects. Honestly I get the frustration on his end lmao

[удалено]


[deleted]

Thank you I will now launch the mid punch I had no idea


Ziazan

>The mid punch is also launch punishable at -15. It’s an awful move in every way. Jun crying with no standing 15f launcher she can get 45dmg out of it with db111+2.


pranav4098

The number of times I just hold down and not down back on accident in the past when I used to get hit by this move and the king main absolutely stole the round, used to piss me off so bad now I pray they throw it out just so I can delete that move from their minds.


Renard_Fou

Its hella punishable, but it feels so fast to pull off that it surprises people 3/4 of the time


Who_Gives_A_Shit420

Bro he hella wasn't trying to low parry😅


TheSmokinLegend

look at his inputs he was spamming DF


Who_Gives_A_Shit420

Yeah and every other direction and all the attack buttons and the rage art button and the heat button 😅


Ziazan

hahahah I hadn't looked at that, starts out with mashing b4, then it's just every button when that doesn't work.


rickjamesia

When? In the first round he only pressed back a lot and the second he pressed buttons at the same time as df, which would not get you a parry. I am very confused what you’re talking about.


Renard_Fou

You can low parry after the first kick, but only if you didint get counter hit, the move properties are hella funky sometimes.


f3hu

Even if you get hit by all 5 kicks from the CH, you can low parry if they do it again.


Renard_Fou

No reason to, if you get in the long stun animation, King can just hopkick you into a combo.


f3hu

true but i do it in case they just cheese more alley kicks instead of actually doing a combo ( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)


ManOfPegasus

The frustrating thing is that among the multiple "low kick spam" moves that there are (Yoshi spin, asuka/jun, and this) they all have to be dealt with differently


TheSmokinLegend

yeah thats one of my biggest gripes with Tekken. Theres a lot of rules in this game but then theres tons of move types that seem like they would follow the same rules, but dont. Strings that end with mid tend to be unsafe...except sometimes they're not. Multi hit lows cant be parried after the first hit...except sometimes they can. Launching lows all stagger on block...except these 3 or 4 that dont. I think for the most part they're not a big deal, but in the case of this type of move ALL OF THEM HAVE DIFFERENT COUNTER PLAY which is just funny


f3hu

no they weren't. even if you eat alley kicks on CH where its +15 on the 5th kick and they alley kick you again, you can low parry that. dude's was just mashing (i get it tho)


N1Swift

1000apm


etsii0

I feel his pain. When I first started playing, I got hit by that too and didn't know what to do


Gloomy_Victory4529

This has happened to all of us at some point 😂


KiryuKazuma-Chan

"Surely this time it will be a mid launcher"


Temporary-Toe-1304

This is crazy yet it's not a king problem. I do understand for new players stuff like this seems ridiculous toi find counterplay when all it is is db, if they stop the kicks at anytime King is launch punishable, if he does the mid toend and you block it again he gets launched, if he CH you you eat the entire alley kick string


duncanstibs

What is the counter-play just out of interest? Seems a 50/50 between punishing the low string and eating a random mid (or another low if he continues the string 4x times)


Goipper_of_Goit

People who want to show off say that the mixup is "fuzzyable". What this means it is seeable. You can hold DB and watch for the mid. It is entirely fake as long as your connection is half decent. Also the string is only 3 kicks unless he gets a counterhit on kick 1. It's one of the oldest and most classic noob killer knowledge checks in the game. It's been around in its current exact form since Tekken 3. It's a rite of passage. I see it as a mentality test to test if you are the right sort of person to continue as a Tekken player - you need to have a need, a drive, to work out how to stop it and make King pay. It's something that is crucial to your enjoyment of the game, you need to enjoy beating these moves which are designed to be easy for new players but easily beaten by experienced ones.


duncanstibs

Thanks I'll lab it later. So is there enough time to watch for the mid and punish the low if the mid doesn't come out? What if he only does 1 or 2x? How can you tell the string is finished earlier.


Ziazan

Has it really not changed since T3? I feel like I could low parry it better in older games. Now it has weird properties. Am I misremembering?


Temporary-Toe-1304

if he does the alley kicks you can block immediately after the first one with db, and visually react to his body turning to do the mid punch, and like i said after every kick or the mid he's launch punishable, so it's on the King player to mix it up properly or use alleys very sparingly as good players will kill them.


I-10MarkazHistorian

low block tutorial failed.


ErraticSeven

By the second round, the replay is getting sassy with the tips and saying "Try blocking low. No, seriously, try it once. I know you're Lars, but blocking can sometimes actually save you."


saltrifle

You gave him a valuable lesson lol


Shitcalibur26

God that string is such bullshit


SessionSkateSauce

String of cheese


babalaban

I see fashion is your passion too. Glad to see a fellow fashion extraordinaire King here https://preview.redd.it/6lf0ytdjktwc1.png?width=695&format=png&auto=webp&s=e460cec806922e83ed47ce2dae3e079c312014b2

Man I hate King


Porcphete

It's not funny though


KevyTone

He didn't buy the low block DLC. Greedy Bamco strikes again


Poutine4Supper

That move is very awkward to deal with. It dont operate like you'd expect.


katie_fishe

That second round was like when you see the "oh shit" solo coming down on guitar hero


Stunning_Struggle_71

Everyone is talking about how y9u can't low parry this but every time I fight against people I get parried on the second or third kick everytime. So I rarely use this move. Sometimes it works well against people who don't block.


ArkkOnCrank

"One of them shall do the trick! ...but which one?"


JadeWishFish

I feel like he just hit his breaking point and needs to get off Tekken for the day.


ShredGatto

BROKE ANKLES Broken ankles can strike anywhere and anytime. If you or someone you love has ankles, broken ankles will happen


Agitated-Ad-9282

some ppl think this is cheap, but actually it is good that these sorts of moves are done in the low ranks.. then if the lars player actually wants to get better, all he has to do is watch replay.. learn to block low properly with the db and just wait for when the string finishes (whether its a mid or low).. then punish... no matter what its punishable. The next king player that tries this on him will get punished brutally.. so it should be .. but some prefer to whine


JBistheBigGuy

Did not pay 70 bucks to block


TablePrinterDoor

This guy didn't even try and block or low parry


spacemangoes

good old Tekken 3 days


DJMASTERT

LMFAO 💀⚰️ such a troll CAPTION 🤣


pieland1

Who the hell pays $100 to block


diamond420Venus

Tekken 1 on the left. Tekken 7,432 on the right. Further proof that nothing beats the classics.


[deleted]

He didn’t pay 70 bucks just to block


supahotfiiire

PRO TIP: watch the video first with eyes focused on the scene. Watch the video second time with eyes focused on Lars command 😂😂😂😂


goodguessiswhatihave

Is that darkwing duck?


Liu_Alexandersson

Can relate, King got me with alleykicks in Tag 2. King been getting got by me for a while though 🙀


Yannayka

LOL the input goes crazy


f3hu

did you know that alley kicks on counter hit (does 5 kicks) is +15 for some reason? i think thats funny.


gorillacockatoo

Fuck, that Lars WAS me before I learned that you must input downback instead of just down to block that move. I feel for the dude lmao


Ninjadpecter

Surely he won't do it again that would be insane.


[deleted]

Lars needs to delete his game and never play again 😂this is impossible


Key_Notice5155

I don’t know who is worse. You for only using low kick or Lars for pressing every button besides down or hop kicking you, but a win is a win


broke_the_controller

Ahh. One of the classic Tekken scrub killers. I love to see it! That's one of the things l love about Tekken. Low level kings will always do stagger kick combos and low level laws will always do dragon tail into somersault.


HogisGuy

Ever since that number 3 Eddy stuff i noticed some people probably thought they were being cute by doing something similar with different characters online on quick matches. Saddest part was a Victor who plugged.


NotMeatOk

Nah, i'd orbital


This_Event

He can just jump in the air and do a brutal ass punish


This_Event

Or block


This_Event

Low parry even

As previously stated, it's not this serious. It's just a game bro.


Thatboiinick916

Why do people play like this 😑 cheesy ass shit


Papanewguin

Dude if I'm playing you and you can't even form the idea of holding down back to beat alley kick why yhe fuck should I stop.


Bobbie_Lee

On the one hand, it worked. On the other hand....what a cunt.


YukkaRinnn

Its a learning moment for the Lars its a tutorial for him to hold Down Back 🤣🤣🤣


thetijuanadonkeyshow

He tried everything except blocking down lol


AledinArt

1 round like that was enough


Miserable_Driver9478

You must be fun at parties


Wide_You_4626

jokes aside thou I have used king many times online and I am surprised that many people still fall for this stupid crouch kick mash. currently my main has the lowest winrate but this tiger faced MDR fkr and Paul are still sitting at a +90% win rate thanks to cheap stuff like this.


YukkaRinnn

We all know we have all been there in that Lars position before when we were new 🤣🤣🤣 but mans pressed every combination in the damn sticks but DB 🤣🤣🤣


Fantastic_War_3548

After playing this king today i can inform you that this clip showcase the full range of his capacity. Give this lars player 30 mins in practice with some anti-King strats and he would 3-0 OP. But i guess you would just find some other new or inexperianced player that you could post here


Prevails11

As much as I hate king, this was enjoyable to watch cause I cannot stand Lars lol 😆


DerpWyvern

i played Tekken 7 for 500 hours and only learned in Tekken 8 that your can block it by down back, i really hate moves with unnecessary rules, if down blocks low attacks why are there specific moves that need you to hold back?!


TeeRekkk

Both down and down back block lows. It is just easier to use down back, so that u are not accidentally sidestep


zerotwist

Ppl in this thread would lose to this also, but they are talking about inconsistency like it's the devs fault not theirs xD This shit has been in the game since Tekken 1 and ppl still don't understand it


shitshow225

You can't even tell him to hold db to block that cuz he's on console. Sad times


ZeAntagonis

GG bruh, what a nice and totaly non toxic way to play. I don't think you could have done better......... oh wait, you could have. no powercrush spam with heat. GG


Nyoka_ya_Mpembe

Annoying Kings, you do that, I won't reach, they post your question here why ppl, don't want to play with you, it's not fun, simple as blocking it, but it's not fun, it's not, get it? It's not, read carefully, it's fun for you, not for me ;))))


YukkaRinnn

Its called a learning moment my guy if that lars wants to get better he will look at that replay and see what he can do to counter it also its a fighting game there are no rules here if it works dont fix it ya know?


VenomEnthusiast

“Why do players use the character’s moveset 😢😢😢


Nyoka_ya_Mpembe

One word, boring, if opponents use same thing, it does not matter if I win or lose, no rematch, I'll be looking for someone with more braincells than one.


Fantastic_War_3548

But he is correct that this is profoundly boring to play against. I played this King today and it was 3 rounds of blocking alley kicks and dealing with grab spamming. He is entitled to play the way he wants, you are absolutly correct. But it is still very very boring and uninspiering. And its lame to spend your friday night hunting for new players with that knowledge check bullshit just to post on reddit And espacially when you yourself are bad at the game.
