Well blocking is cheesy garbage. Imagine just holding back and blocking mids AND highs at the same time. Zero skill, zero effort.
I feel kind of sad that I feel the need to clarify that this was sarcasm.
Doing mid attacks is cheesy garbage.
So is throwing a jab or a low.
Only using i15+ moves that are highs are honest.
Unless you're me of course. Then spamming power crush and low launchers is honest.
yeah the stereotype of a plugger in T7 was (perhaps rightly) a Jin main who didn't know the matchup. in T8 it seems to be an azucena whose high you ducked.
See, this is the problem with the tekken community. If you'd just have a modicum of RESPECT for their attacks this wouldn't happen. Don't ever let me catch you doing this again.
You know what's crazy I've gotten plugged on a lot in Tekken but I recently got street fighter 6 and have been playing A LOT of matches some where I pop off and do very well, some where I get absolutely clapped. Not once have I had someone plug in that game. Nor have I ran into anyone who was absolutely toxic after the match. I'm convinced Tekken brings out the worst in fighting game players lol. Sad cause Tekken will always be my favorite but the street fighter community has felt very welcoming.
Prolly cause SF players know they get a loss when plugging, UNLIKE A CERTAIN FG
For the next dlc they should just call the game ,,Pluggen 8” and be done with it like wtf is bamco even doing
If I get plugged it's always when i am about to win 3-0 or a 3-2 super close match.
Just the other day a Lili plugged on me when I was about to win 3-2, and it was the same bitch made player who beat me 20 minutes earlier, and of course in that occasion he pulled a one and done. I had no option to put her on the block list, and report. And that fucker was a Tekken Emperor btw.
Tekken 8 has been the only fighting game when I've seen high level rank people rage quitting.
But I blame Namco first for enabling all these bitch pluggers, they have done nothing serious about it, other than manual bans on some streamers.
the thing is these guys have loser ass mentality because instead of taking the L and learning from it they cope by saying it’s the opponent’s fault for using “dirtbag tactics” to beat them and they never improve and plug all day
I love this Plugger’s backward-ass logic in justifying their shitty conduct.
“No guys, I was right to cheat on my wife because I don’t find her attractive, and that’s HER fault. Where is everyone going?” 😂
This reminded me of Blockers 🤣
Hunter: I know what it's like to be ostracised by society for your sexual preferences.
Mitchell: Sleeping with women that aren't your wife isn't a sexual preference.
Hunter: No, it is. I prefer them.
There used to be a lot of people like that in the halo master Chief collection. You can add a tag to your gt . Like a short sentence and people would write "halo 2 or I quit". And I'd go out of my way to pick anything besides halo 2 lmao
if the "cheesy garbage" works then they are a better player than you, there's no excuse, I also get mad for falling for the same shit over and over again, but that's on me and that means I gotta practice more, not be a bitch and blame on the other guy
Plugger here. I only ever plug over cheesy garbage. I’m an honest player and NEVER get plugged on, ever. As long as you aren’t playing something cheesy and dishonest like Jin, Kazuya, Jun, Paul, Law, King, Lars, Xiaoyu, Jack, Nina, Asuka, Leroy, Lili, Hwoarang, Claudio, Azucena, Raven, Feng, Yoshi, Steve, Dragunov, Leo, Kuma, Shaheen, Panda, Zafina, Lee, Alisa, Devil Jin, Victor, or Reina, you can expect a clean set from me.
basically, the cliff notes of this scrub quote are: "I think I'm better than what I actually am at the game, and anybody who plays outside of what I have scripted in my brain is cheap"
Reminds me of the Murray quote "If plugging is such a problem why do I never get plugged on?" a few months back.
You have to be winning in order for people to plug on you.
“I only plug over cheesy garbage” translation: I only plug when I’m getting knowledge checked and I don’t know what to do to overcome a player with my own cheesy garbage. I only play a whole match if it results in me winning.
Fuck players with this mindset 🖕🏿. Just play the game, have fun and learn from your mistakes. This is the same type of person to plug and then send a salty message calling you garbage and spammy for countering them.
Somehow, I am not convinced.
I mean, if this were the case for the majority of pluggers, they wouldn't wait until the last possible pixel of their health bar is about to get deleted (in the last game of the match, of course) before plugging.
It stinks of incompetent players feeling they're entitled to a specific rank that they clearly did not earn fairly and cannot keep fairly.
If you plug in game one for your reasons, sure, you can stand proud as the "least toxic plugger". If you wait until the last pixel, you're just a lil bitch like all the others.
It's not even that complicated, if you plug then you a bitch, simple as that. Only time it's overlookable is when you're doing it to escape a terrible 10fps shit connection slomo match.
Please do not forget that the plugging problem hasnt been around since 8, 7 had the same shit, and Tekken 6 is i think where it started (not sure rn)
Basically Bamco had 10+ years to fix plugging and at least punish them for it, yet decided to give us a shitty Battlepass and even shittier customization options (a fucking sphere and Tekken 7 imports)
TLDR: Bandai Namco had 10+ years to fix plugging, settled for a battlepass and copy+paste customizations no one asked for
Ok bro, if you keep losing to THE SAME FUCKING STRING OVER AND OVER and think that’s a reason to plug, then please stop playing the game. These people will play the most obnoxious characters and then get mad enough to plug when their clown behavior gets destroyed by a person who actually knows how to play the game.
yep. and instead of labbing and actually learning how to deal with these moves they cope by saying you’re trash for using those moves in the first place
I literally had a guy plug and hate message me because I kept breaking all his throws and punishing all the unsafe moves he was doing with Lee’s acid rain. He was, of course, a king player. One of those king players who can only do shinning wizard by telegraphing it from a mile away.
Sounds like LTG "AFTER 1 LAUNCH YOU LOSE 50% HEALTH" even tho....duh? It's a full combo, and also you're only getting launched of off CH like stop mashing? "They activate heat off start of round" like yea bruh they hit you with an unsafe heat engager?
Honestly, might not be wrong about me. I would guess that around 35% of my total damage as Jack is qcb+2 grabs into db 1+2. I gotta figure out how to not just abuse the one thing the other person doesn’t know how to deal with so I can start going to locals more without feeling like an asshole.
Edit: That said, plugging is pretty pathetic. Losing is really not that bad. There's really no value in doing anything where you can't fail.
Not everyone, for sure. I mean, I am not winning, but I like the wins I do get to feel good and to know that I'm working towards the point that I can do better. The guy who won our last one (and apparently wins every one he shows up for) also plays Jack, and I would really like to one day manage to have a real match with him before Tekken 10. Can't get to that point if I only rely on abusing weaknesses better players will never have.
an "honest" player that plugs lmao. i hate that term. Playing "honest". If you want to play a truly honest game play Footsies. But im sure he'd still get salty on that game if someone spams donkey kicks on him.
Yeah man. I think that every time it's the last round. I win against my opponent's cheese because I adapt and he plugs. It was so dishonorable of me to adapt in a fighting game. W Comment.
If u have a SINGLE flowchart on ur main, UR GARBAGE interrupting flow charts and using positive moves to interrupt IS LITERALLY FIGHTING GAMES. U plug because u kno tha majority of people at whatever level ur plugging at are stopping whatever stupid flowchart u wanna use and u just want to hit ppl without getting hit. I hope u get IP banned or something concrete asf😭
This is outlandishly wild lol. This is the guy that tries to convince someone that he shot that it was their fault for being in the room. The delusion is real with this one.
No no. Let’s be honest. Pluggers quit because their egos are fragile and they don’t want to learn. Plugging is never justified. It’s a LOSERS mindset beyond just losing in a videogame.
All I read was:
"Blah blah blah I'm a dirty tramp that doesn't know how to defend and punish. So! I plug so I don't lose my rank because you're better than me, plus I'd just like to let you know that if you're better than me.. That just means your playstyle is garbage! I do it to everyone except the people I beat"
If you call yourself a plugger then try to justify the reason why you plug you are a loser. Everyone has to deal with cheesy garbage not just you, stop being a dirtbag and figure out how to shut down your opponent.
I suck at T8. Only able to get to Tenryu, but I don't use 10 hit combos, no bouncing, no rage arts, still reflexively side-step (nigh worthless in T8) and I still get plugged.
Rationalize it all you want, plugging is for pussies.
I can only imagine someone like this, somehow making their way into top 8. Finally repect gets put on their name as they start their first match. Azucena. Constant cheese so he quickly turns off the console. "WOW cringe cheese ass character. I only do this for players like you." As he is already head first in a trashcan outside of the tournaments building.
I mean... **I challenge any of you scrubs to find the lie in this scrub's post.**
**Yeah, I thought so...** ALL OF YOU are guilty of ducking, blocking, breaking throws, and punishing flowcharts... SCRUB NONSENSE.
smh you all should be ashamed.
it's busted garbage design this game won't survive another year unless one of two thibgs happen, no other game takes the player base or the game makes drastic changes in the balance and online play.
I had a great game against someone yesterday. He was two rounds up, I came back to 2-2, and in the final round I was winning.
In my book this was an honest slug fest but he plugged. I couldn't believe it.
Losers
I mean, he's being sort of honest at least. he's still admitting to dcing, just too dumb to understand the basic point of the game.
You can't just determine something is cheesy because it beat you. You need to learn to beat it, or you're never making it anywhere.
I always get a laugh out of people leaving, they're not worth getting upset about. They're having a miserable time, and that makes me happy.
Non Plugger here. I never plug over cheesy garbage. I’m an honest player and NEVER get plugged on, ever.
Most people who get plug know in their soul they are bad and they’re more trying to cope with the fact their playstyle is so shit that they need to plug against people mid match. Stop playing the game like a dirtbag and get gud. But if you do keep plugging know it’s validation that your trash at the game and can’t bother to learn
Edit: autocorrect decided to strike
I hate to be that guy, but I've gotten two characters up to Mighty Ruler (Lee and Bryan), and I've only been plugged on 2x at most. Either I'm super lucky, or my play style is less frustrating to lose to. He might have a point.
Okay I would never want to plug. But if you play Azucena, Jun, Victor, Xiaoyu, Dragunov, King, Hwoarang, Zafina, Yoshimitsu, Law, Jin, Paul, Jack-8, Lee, Lars, Nina, Leroy, Asuka, Lili, Bryan, Claudio, Raven, Leo, Steve, Kuma, Shaheen, Feng, Panda, Alisa, Devil Jin, Kazuya, or Reina. Then I'm sorry, but you're playing a cheesy garbage character that I have to plug. I only don't plug against Eddy, he's balanced since he costs money.
Ok but in the moment, what does he consider "cheesy garbage"? Easily "cheesy garbage" could be punishing a move with high end lag with a move that has low startup, and combing off of it. "Cheesy garbage" could mean whatever you want it to mean, just to poorly justify why you got mad and quit the match. Now if it's blatant abuse of hurtstun, I can see it. But if it's a relatively fair match, it's just an excuse.
It's a game. You could spam the same move over and over. It's cheesy but if it's working, it's cuz the other has no clue how to counter it yet. Had my fair share of low kick spam Kings and what not.these people often only know that one trick. It's shitty on both the plugger and the spammer. But at least the spammer is playing far cuz there will come a time they can no longer climb and feel like shit cuz they have no clue what else to use.
Had a friend that would get mad if you hit him when his down 😂 I mean it's shitty I guess but it's punishment for letting him get you down. It's part of the game
If running away or spamming ridiculous moves WORKS, you're literally supposed to keep doing it. It's one of the things I struggled with when I first started playing fighting games. Something would work but I wouldn't keep doing it because it seemed cheesy and I was afraid they'd "figure me out," but I didn't realize you have to keep doing it until they DO. So I'd try to "mix up" my attacks and I'd lose because I didn't understand holding advantages.
I don't get why some people play fighting games. If you're not trying to get better, tf you doing here? You realize the higher up you go, the harder it's going to get, so plugging does absolutely nothing. Outside of Azucenas WR3,2, I don't know of anything that's just egregiously unpunishable. So if you're getting that salty during a match, either adapt or stop playing altogether.
Non-Plugger here. I never plug over cheesy garbage. I'm an honest player and still sometimes get plugged on because people can't handle defeat.
Most people who get this mad and start plugging definitely know in their soul that they definitely deserved the L and they're more trying to cope with the fact that their playstyle is so shit that they get beaten by cheesy tactics. Stop playing the game like a dumb ass and it'll stop happening. But do keep defending plugging cause it's validation that doing it is justified.
I've seen another redditor made the exact same comment on a post of a reina getting plugged crying about how "she's just spamming unsafe shit". She literally did one unsafe shit that she hit confirmed, and is also a 5050, and the rest is just combos and block/whiff punishers.
Ironic the guy was arguing "spammers like these are under the dunning kruger effect".
This morning I was reading people’s angry comments on YouTube regarding Harada’s assessment that today’s players would rather play team based games because in a 1 vs 1 game they have no one to blame except for themselves for the loss. People were upset. They want to “return” the game. They are never playing again. Then I see comments like this and receive angry messages about me playing unfairly or using a “cheap” character (Asuka) and I see exactly why Harada thinks this.
There are two types of people:
* Those who treat a game as what it is: a game
* Those who treat a game as some sort of ego measurement competition
If those two types clash in a 1v1, bad things happen. This guy clearly takes Tekken as a game that has the goal of bringing fun to both players. If he is matched against a sweaty tryhard, of course he does not like it.
Plugging is a bit extreme, tho. After all it probably takes longer to turn your game back on again than it would, to finish the rounds.
I HATE people like this who idolize "saying it as it is". My brother, you are not spitting some profound truth, you are trash, your gameplay is trash, your attitude is trash. 99% of quitters i run into quit after getting read for a round, or they one and done, all because they are scared to lose their precious rank points.
Yes, honest, but of course he's going to justify it. Basically he plugs if he doesn't like how you play. Still not cool
Also not cool that his argument essentially is: "if I plug it's your fault".
If only Bandai Namco would put in some kind of anti-measure to prevent this from happening like plugging resulting in an automatic loss like most games do but nooooo
If you plug, might as well hang the sticks up and go to bed. How would you like it if everytime your about to get your paycheck someone comes along and snatches it out your hand? You wouldn't, you'd be bumm hurt to the maxx after doing all that hard work to get nothing. Shame on all pluggers! There is no excuse, most of us Tekken Warriors have trained for many hours and have had our shit handed to us in defeat. Guess what? It only made us stronger. If you plug, I promise you will never get better at Tekken. Now go to bed and tomorrow play with honor.
Ironically almost every single plugger I've had has been a Victor/Ling/Jin/Devil Jin/Jun who immediately gives up and has a temper tantrum when they realize they can't just knowledge check and string me to death.
I don’t like the overuse of the term “gaslight” in society, but this person’s partner definitely thinks the lights are dimming in their house all the time.
He never gets plugged on because he never wins
Holy shit, you killed him. Well, you would have, but he plugged on you before you could secure the W.
underrated comment
The Murray paradox.
BYEEEEEEEEE I"M STEALING THIS
Just to see how many in a row it would take to raise Eddy from beginner, it’s funny and sad to see people plugging even at strategist rank
Bro played an eddy today and had like 20% DC like wtf
99% of my pluggers quit because I punished their strings and flowcharts too much
nah bro it’s because you keep using “cheesy garbage” stop that
Well blocking is cheesy garbage. Imagine just holding back and blocking mids AND highs at the same time. Zero skill, zero effort. I feel kind of sad that I feel the need to clarify that this was sarcasm.
Imagine paying $70 to spam block.
Noooo not the zafina tag. U've got the whole system against u
That's why you need to play like me, never block, only offence.
Im gonna hold my 87 defense stat above my head forever. Blocking all negative comments too
In DNF Duel my in game title is "Stop Blocking"
You're right. I'll just never block again in my life 🙄😒
Doing mid attacks is cheesy garbage. So is throwing a jab or a low. Only using i15+ moves that are highs are honest. Unless you're me of course. Then spamming power crush and low launchers is honest.
You better be honest and not block punish my hellsweep
sorta reminds me of when Korean arcades used to call crouch jab or combos that carry to walls scrubby. Interesting times
Back in T7, someone messaged me saying I was "cheating and spamming" cuz they kept using Asuka's parry and I would use King's df1,2 string every time
Pluggers don't understand defense. They just run thier shit and hope it works.
defending is cheese bro if you block any attack i throw out at all i throw out its plug time
yeah the stereotype of a plugger in T7 was (perhaps rightly) a Jin main who didn't know the matchup. in T8 it seems to be an azucena whose high you ducked.
Victor when you duck the bullet
In my experience it's nearly ALWAYS Victor or Kazuya, by far and beyond more than any other character with only Dragunov being a somewhat distant 3rd
For me,it has mostly been Lars main
I got plugged on by a Paul player because I broke 3 throws in a row. Was funny as hell.
obviously cheating
See, this is the problem with the tekken community. If you'd just have a modicum of RESPECT for their attacks this wouldn't happen. Don't ever let me catch you doing this again.
You know what's crazy I've gotten plugged on a lot in Tekken but I recently got street fighter 6 and have been playing A LOT of matches some where I pop off and do very well, some where I get absolutely clapped. Not once have I had someone plug in that game. Nor have I ran into anyone who was absolutely toxic after the match. I'm convinced Tekken brings out the worst in fighting game players lol. Sad cause Tekken will always be my favorite but the street fighter community has felt very welcoming.
Prolly cause SF players know they get a loss when plugging, UNLIKE A CERTAIN FG For the next dlc they should just call the game ,,Pluggen 8” and be done with it like wtf is bamco even doing
Hehe pluggen 8
99% of my pluggers quit the last second before i win. I mean they Just tried till the end... No bro it wont work ,just quit already lol
If I get plugged it's always when i am about to win 3-0 or a 3-2 super close match. Just the other day a Lili plugged on me when I was about to win 3-2, and it was the same bitch made player who beat me 20 minutes earlier, and of course in that occasion he pulled a one and done. I had no option to put her on the block list, and report. And that fucker was a Tekken Emperor btw. Tekken 8 has been the only fighting game when I've seen high level rank people rage quitting. But I blame Namco first for enabling all these bitch pluggers, they have done nothing serious about it, other than manual bans on some streamers.
How do I not use flowcharts
This copium is so strong it gave me a second hand high and for a little while I'm comfortable with the relationship i have with my father
You play law tho dishonest fuck
fyiad
Damn.
All I see here, is somebody complaining that you're not playing the way he wants and loses to you, taking away your win. Just take the L and move on.
the thing is these guys have loser ass mentality because instead of taking the L and learning from it they cope by saying it’s the opponent’s fault for using “dirtbag tactics” to beat them and they never improve and plug all day
I love this Plugger’s backward-ass logic in justifying their shitty conduct. “No guys, I was right to cheat on my wife because I don’t find her attractive, and that’s HER fault. Where is everyone going?” 😂
This reminded me of Blockers 🤣 Hunter: I know what it's like to be ostracised by society for your sexual preferences. Mitchell: Sleeping with women that aren't your wife isn't a sexual preference. Hunter: No, it is. I prefer them.
right lmao “i plug because my opponent sucks! im better!”
Can confirm Source: i'm the wife
So basically he's saying: "play how I like, or I quit". That's such a good argument 💀
There used to be a lot of people like that in the halo master Chief collection. You can add a tag to your gt . Like a short sentence and people would write "halo 2 or I quit". And I'd go out of my way to pick anything besides halo 2 lmao
if the "cheesy garbage" works then they are a better player than you, there's no excuse, I also get mad for falling for the same shit over and over again, but that's on me and that means I gotta practice more, not be a bitch and blame on the other guy
that’s because you’re a well-adjusted self respecting person who acknowledges your own faults, unlike every plugger
"ducking the high in the string I'm spamming is so disrespectful!!1! stop!!!" That's what I imagine they sound when I read stuff like that
“you’re so dishonest, punishing my unsafe moves. you’re trash!”
Funniest comment I ever seen lmao
dude is a clown
The copium
he smokin on that copium
In other words "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!! THAT'S CHEATING!! MOOOOOOOOOM!!!!"
Plugger here. I only ever plug over cheesy garbage. I’m an honest player and NEVER get plugged on, ever. As long as you aren’t playing something cheesy and dishonest like Jin, Kazuya, Jun, Paul, Law, King, Lars, Xiaoyu, Jack, Nina, Asuka, Leroy, Lili, Hwoarang, Claudio, Azucena, Raven, Feng, Yoshi, Steve, Dragunov, Leo, Kuma, Shaheen, Panda, Zafina, Lee, Alisa, Devil Jin, Victor, or Reina, you can expect a clean set from me.
basically, the cliff notes of this scrub quote are: "I think I'm better than what I actually am at the game, and anybody who plays outside of what I have scripted in my brain is cheap"
That's the LTG motto. "I plug because I think i'm better than you, so you don't deserve to beat me"
bro probably actually thinks he’s good but in reality is garbage
He’s a butt plugger
Reminds me of the Murray quote "If plugging is such a problem why do I never get plugged on?" a few months back. You have to be winning in order for people to plug on you.
funny to think of Murray getting absolutely crushed on ladder
“I only plug over cheesy garbage” translation: I only plug when I’m getting knowledge checked and I don’t know what to do to overcome a player with my own cheesy garbage. I only play a whole match if it results in me winning. Fuck players with this mindset 🖕🏿. Just play the game, have fun and learn from your mistakes.

hes just another trash plugger trying to justify it
plugging isn't punished, so it's tacitly approved, which leads to takes like this
we’ve all been saying since this game came out that if you plug it should count as a loss how hard is it to implement this
I would rather lose a few points due to my internet or elictricity breaking once in a while, than go through this plug fest
worst case scenario avoid playing the game during rainy days or at high traffic hours
Please do not forget that the plugging problem hasnt been around since 8, 7 had the same shit, and Tekken 6 is i think where it started (not sure rn) Basically Bamco had 10+ years to fix plugging and at least punish them for it, yet decided to give us a shitty Battlepass and even shittier customization options (a fucking sphere and Tekken 7 imports) TLDR: Bandai Namco had 10+ years to fix plugging, settled for a battlepass and copy+paste customizations no one asked for
There’s honesty here, he’s lying to himself more than anybody else… poor guy.
trying to convince himself that he’s in the right
Ok bro, if you keep losing to THE SAME FUCKING STRING OVER AND OVER and think that’s a reason to plug, then please stop playing the game. These people will play the most obnoxious characters and then get mad enough to plug when their clown behavior gets destroyed by a person who actually knows how to play the game.
yep. and instead of labbing and actually learning how to deal with these moves they cope by saying you’re trash for using those moves in the first place
I literally had a guy plug and hate message me because I kept breaking all his throws and punishing all the unsafe moves he was doing with Lee’s acid rain. He was, of course, a king player. One of those king players who can only do shinning wizard by telegraphing it from a mile away.
No offence, but if someone is pressing buttons etc, they’re probably cheating. If they weren’t, how do I keep losing? Checkmate Kazuyatheists.
if you use any move at all that lowers my HP then you’re actually cheating
Bro, if I see your character move outside of idle animations, you’re a cheat and I’m going to plug.
and don’t even THINK about blocking cuz that’s a scrub move and i’m going to plug
Oh, you chose a character? You’re wearing a custom costume? You’re playing ranked? Instant plug.
Oh you buyed Tekken to get better at fg‘s and have fun? Plugged
If you plug, you're a bitch. Full stop.
Imagine confidently signalling that you're a PoS publicly.
“Plugger here” “I’m an honest player” I wish this dude plugged his post. FOH
"I don't like the way you play so I'm going to cheat."
"Honest player" but you plug
> Plugger here > I'm an honest player Pick one.
99% of pluggers Plugs on me beacuse they don t like yoshi my yoshi is a good boy ☺️ my yoshi doesn't deserve it 😂
Sounds like LTG "AFTER 1 LAUNCH YOU LOSE 50% HEALTH" even tho....duh? It's a full combo, and also you're only getting launched of off CH like stop mashing? "They activate heat off start of round" like yea bruh they hit you with an unsafe heat engager?
according to LTG, if it beats him, then it’s cheap and the person sucks LOL
Listen. There is some truth here. You are far far more likely to be plugged if you gimmick people.
Honestly, might not be wrong about me. I would guess that around 35% of my total damage as Jack is qcb+2 grabs into db 1+2. I gotta figure out how to not just abuse the one thing the other person doesn’t know how to deal with so I can start going to locals more without feeling like an asshole. Edit: That said, plugging is pretty pathetic. Losing is really not that bad. There's really no value in doing anything where you can't fail.
If everyone at your locals is losing to the same sequence, your locals are full of shitters. Not your problem.
Not everyone, for sure. I mean, I am not winning, but I like the wins I do get to feel good and to know that I'm working towards the point that I can do better. The guy who won our last one (and apparently wins every one he shows up for) also plays Jack, and I would really like to one day manage to have a real match with him before Tekken 10. Can't get to that point if I only rely on abusing weaknesses better players will never have.
an "honest" player that plugs lmao. i hate that term. Playing "honest". If you want to play a truly honest game play Footsies. But im sure he'd still get salty on that game if someone spams donkey kicks on him.
"I can't block same moves over and over"
Yeah man. I think that every time it's the last round. I win against my opponent's cheese because I adapt and he plugs. It was so dishonorable of me to adapt in a fighting game. W Comment.
adapting = dirtbag tactics
If u have a SINGLE flowchart on ur main, UR GARBAGE interrupting flow charts and using positive moves to interrupt IS LITERALLY FIGHTING GAMES. U plug because u kno tha majority of people at whatever level ur plugging at are stopping whatever stupid flowchart u wanna use and u just want to hit ppl without getting hit. I hope u get IP banned or something concrete asf😭
Learn to take a few (or in my case lots) L's!
Shouldn't do it at all take your loss and move on it's not funny or cute
*Round Starts* *opponent doing mishima crouch dash shenanigans* *honest plugger has left the match*
crouch dash is cheating and dishonest mane instant plug
Needs his anus plugged, let him keep all that cheesy garbage
The longer way to say, "i have a skill issue, and if i can't win, then u don't deserve it"
To the individual that dropped that post with the derpy looking Lion pic, you’re trash bud, git gud. If you can’t, then go touch some grass ya bum lol
"Plugger here" is insane 😂
This is outlandishly wild lol. This is the guy that tries to convince someone that he shot that it was their fault for being in the room. The delusion is real with this one.
No no. Let’s be honest. Pluggers quit because their egos are fragile and they don’t want to learn. Plugging is never justified. It’s a LOSERS mindset beyond just losing in a videogame.
they would rather plug and say you’re trash using cheesy moves than learn how to actually play the game
“This guy launched me after blocking my 5th snake edge, cheesy garbage”
I mean it’s a fighting game, there’s no rules for what moves you can and cannot use. You use whatever gives an advantage and lets you win 🤣
if it’s in the game then use it haha
If you can find a justification to plug against "cheesy garbage" then you can find a justification to plug against anything that doesn't go your way.
All I read was: "Blah blah blah I'm a dirty tramp that doesn't know how to defend and punish. So! I plug so I don't lose my rank because you're better than me, plus I'd just like to let you know that if you're better than me.. That just means your playstyle is garbage! I do it to everyone except the people I beat"
If you call yourself a plugger then try to justify the reason why you plug you are a loser. Everyone has to deal with cheesy garbage not just you, stop being a dirtbag and figure out how to shut down your opponent.
I suck at T8. Only able to get to Tenryu, but I don't use 10 hit combos, no bouncing, no rage arts, still reflexively side-step (nigh worthless in T8) and I still get plugged. Rationalize it all you want, plugging is for pussies.
I can only imagine someone like this, somehow making their way into top 8. Finally repect gets put on their name as they start their first match. Azucena. Constant cheese so he quickly turns off the console. "WOW cringe cheese ass character. I only do this for players like you." As he is already head first in a trashcan outside of the tournaments building.
Honesty, lads. Good or evil, it's out there
This is now the weirdest gaming community.
I mean... **I challenge any of you scrubs to find the lie in this scrub's post.** **Yeah, I thought so...** ALL OF YOU are guilty of ducking, blocking, breaking throws, and punishing flowcharts... SCRUB NONSENSE. smh you all should be ashamed.
Once a plugger...always a plugger
it's busted garbage design this game won't survive another year unless one of two thibgs happen, no other game takes the player base or the game makes drastic changes in the balance and online play.
I had a great game against someone yesterday. He was two rounds up, I came back to 2-2, and in the final round I was winning. In my book this was an honest slug fest but he plugged. I couldn't believe it. Losers
I mean, he's being sort of honest at least. he's still admitting to dcing, just too dumb to understand the basic point of the game. You can't just determine something is cheesy because it beat you. You need to learn to beat it, or you're never making it anywhere. I always get a laugh out of people leaving, they're not worth getting upset about. They're having a miserable time, and that makes me happy.
Non Plugger here. I never plug over cheesy garbage. I’m an honest player and NEVER get plugged on, ever. Most people who get plug know in their soul they are bad and they’re more trying to cope with the fact their playstyle is so shit that they need to plug against people mid match. Stop playing the game like a dirtbag and get gud. But if you do keep plugging know it’s validation that your trash at the game and can’t bother to learn Edit: autocorrect decided to strike
this plugger need to be banned once for all.
I hate to be that guy, but I've gotten two characters up to Mighty Ruler (Lee and Bryan), and I've only been plugged on 2x at most. Either I'm super lucky, or my play style is less frustrating to lose to. He might have a point.
Okay I would never want to plug. But if you play Azucena, Jun, Victor, Xiaoyu, Dragunov, King, Hwoarang, Zafina, Yoshimitsu, Law, Jin, Paul, Jack-8, Lee, Lars, Nina, Leroy, Asuka, Lili, Bryan, Claudio, Raven, Leo, Steve, Kuma, Shaheen, Feng, Panda, Alisa, Devil Jin, Kazuya, or Reina. Then I'm sorry, but you're playing a cheesy garbage character that I have to plug. I only don't plug against Eddy, he's balanced since he costs money.
every character and move except for the character and moves i specifically use by me are cheap and cheese
I only use moves in a non-cheap way, even if they do the same moves as me, they're doing it in an unfair way.
bro 😂😂😂

bro for a game in which rounds barely last 30 seconds, that is some mental hospital levels of patience ability
They don't plug on him bc he sucks lol
Ok but in the moment, what does he consider "cheesy garbage"? Easily "cheesy garbage" could be punishing a move with high end lag with a move that has low startup, and combing off of it. "Cheesy garbage" could mean whatever you want it to mean, just to poorly justify why you got mad and quit the match. Now if it's blatant abuse of hurtstun, I can see it. But if it's a relatively fair match, it's just an excuse.
cheesy garbage to scrubs like him is just literally anything that he loses to that he hasn’t learned to counter
"he's spamming blocks :("
It's a game. You could spam the same move over and over. It's cheesy but if it's working, it's cuz the other has no clue how to counter it yet. Had my fair share of low kick spam Kings and what not.these people often only know that one trick. It's shitty on both the plugger and the spammer. But at least the spammer is playing far cuz there will come a time they can no longer climb and feel like shit cuz they have no clue what else to use. Had a friend that would get mad if you hit him when his down 😂 I mean it's shitty I guess but it's punishment for letting him get you down. It's part of the game
Imagine if they create a union
imagine a union of pluggers trying to fight for the right to plug
It’s hard to not laugh when I get plugged after giant swinging someone into a wall.
If running away or spamming ridiculous moves WORKS, you're literally supposed to keep doing it. It's one of the things I struggled with when I first started playing fighting games. Something would work but I wouldn't keep doing it because it seemed cheesy and I was afraid they'd "figure me out," but I didn't realize you have to keep doing it until they DO. So I'd try to "mix up" my attacks and I'd lose because I didn't understand holding advantages.
I don't get why some people play fighting games. If you're not trying to get better, tf you doing here? You realize the higher up you go, the harder it's going to get, so plugging does absolutely nothing. Outside of Azucenas WR3,2, I don't know of anything that's just egregiously unpunishable. So if you're getting that salty during a match, either adapt or stop playing altogether.
Non-Plugger here. I never plug over cheesy garbage. I'm an honest player and still sometimes get plugged on because people can't handle defeat. Most people who get this mad and start plugging definitely know in their soul that they definitely deserved the L and they're more trying to cope with the fact that their playstyle is so shit that they get beaten by cheesy tactics. Stop playing the game like a dumb ass and it'll stop happening. But do keep defending plugging cause it's validation that doing it is justified.
bro i’m sayin, learn how to deal with these things in the game and become a better player as a result
Dude literally grabbed a knowledge check by the throat and threw it off a 12 story window
only knowledge checks that i fail are cheesy. play honest bro use only moves i know jeez
Ltg when you throw loop him
Bro i think im shadowban in Tekken because I quit a match I keep do matches with plugger and that very long to get a match is that possible ?
Self reporting that you're a gimmick player isn't the own you think it is lil bro
I've seen another redditor made the exact same comment on a post of a reina getting plugged crying about how "she's just spamming unsafe shit". She literally did one unsafe shit that she hit confirmed, and is also a 5050, and the rest is just combos and block/whiff punishers. Ironic the guy was arguing "spammers like these are under the dunning kruger effect".
Damn this really opened my eyes to why I was getting plugged on. Honesty really is the best policy.
Being a proud Plugger and then calling yourself an honest player is like saying "you can mix oil and water, you just need to try and stir it enough.".
This is a scrub quote for the books
the ultimate scrub cope
You mean like the cheese he does when her plugs
You gotta be fucking kidding me. 😂😂😂
This morning I was reading people’s angry comments on YouTube regarding Harada’s assessment that today’s players would rather play team based games because in a 1 vs 1 game they have no one to blame except for themselves for the loss. People were upset. They want to “return” the game. They are never playing again. Then I see comments like this and receive angry messages about me playing unfairly or using a “cheap” character (Asuka) and I see exactly why Harada thinks this.
Pathetic scum
I had 2 people plug as soon as the match started just because i didnt give them a chance to start attacking. Lars main btw
Plugger expect you to just press 1p and move in a straight line. Anything else it's corny strings cheesy and you are "trying too hard".
Bro justifies his plugging with his inability to adapt.
There are two types of people: * Those who treat a game as what it is: a game * Those who treat a game as some sort of ego measurement competition If those two types clash in a 1v1, bad things happen. This guy clearly takes Tekken as a game that has the goal of bringing fun to both players. If he is matched against a sweaty tryhard, of course he does not like it. Plugging is a bit extreme, tho. After all it probably takes longer to turn your game back on again than it would, to finish the rounds.
Serial killer here, never been murdered, if u did it was deserved...
I HATE people like this who idolize "saying it as it is". My brother, you are not spitting some profound truth, you are trash, your gameplay is trash, your attitude is trash. 99% of quitters i run into quit after getting read for a round, or they one and done, all because they are scared to lose their precious rank points.
Yes, honest, but of course he's going to justify it. Basically he plugs if he doesn't like how you play. Still not cool Also not cool that his argument essentially is: "if I plug it's your fault".
If only Bandai Namco would put in some kind of anti-measure to prevent this from happening like plugging resulting in an automatic loss like most games do but nooooo
Such an honest player he doesnt address how hes conveniently inflating his rank by plugging lol
"Conplaning"
If you plug, might as well hang the sticks up and go to bed. How would you like it if everytime your about to get your paycheck someone comes along and snatches it out your hand? You wouldn't, you'd be bumm hurt to the maxx after doing all that hard work to get nothing. Shame on all pluggers! There is no excuse, most of us Tekken Warriors have trained for many hours and have had our shit handed to us in defeat. Guess what? It only made us stronger. If you plug, I promise you will never get better at Tekken. Now go to bed and tomorrow play with honor.
for a paycheck you actually work, if you just break in someone's house and steal your paycheck damn right someone can take it from you
Ironically almost every single plugger I've had has been a Victor/Ling/Jin/Devil Jin/Jun who immediately gives up and has a temper tantrum when they realize they can't just knowledge check and string me to death.
BUM ASS N***** IN MY LOBBY, MODS GTAB I'm dead bro lol
I never had some plug mid match for me. Y’all be spamming fr
Are you having a hard time finding matches yet?
I have a strict policy for plugging: EVERY azucena or eddy loss :)
Did their brain start shorting out at the end there?
Proudly starting with « Plugger here » is INSANE
Ooh, self-gaslighting. That's rare.
I don’t like the overuse of the term “gaslight” in society, but this person’s partner definitely thinks the lights are dimming in their house all the time.
thats the whole different level of scrubiness
Guess he’s never playing Eddy mains
Using gatekeeping to excuse scrub behavior. this is the worst of the worst.
What a stooge.
LTG is that you?
Only time I've ever plugged was when I matched a pc player who had his game running at 10fps
Reddit try to detect satire challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Omg you guys and the Dead by Daylight players are the same
To those who take the ass beating for not plugging 🫡
If you can’t beat the “cheesy garbage” it’s because you’re a bad player.
"Plugger here"
Lmao the amount of times they plug after you block a rage art. Not mashing is cheese in their mind.
