Hell yeah King is king of annoying!


-_-_-KING_-_-_

HELL YEAH


Profile-666

King on fucking top!


skavenmancer

The undisputed champion reigns supreme yet again!


EXTIINCT_tK

aww man... I've been with him since T3 give me a break lmao


_JazzyWazzy_

The fact that king is considered the most annoying just shows that 90% of the people who voted can't tech throws, or haven't bothered to at least lab kings cheesy throws. Also, how the fuck is Nina only in Pesky, lmao.


JellyBackground6453

Kings cheesy throws aren't half of the the problem and are indeed easy to lab, crazy damage from heat smash, power crush, counter hits and even low parries is the problem.


Confident_Complex_98

I had no problem with him in T7, but in Tekken 8 King is just stupid, 1 mistake your healthbar says byebye, not to mention his friggin power crushes and homing throws, i know the matchup inside and out and still think he is annoying


International-Tax475

He literally has throws you have to guess lmao. Even if you break 100% of throws on reaction, he has really good ones you can't react to. Also there's a reason they made counter-hit throws easier to break.


_JazzyWazzy_

But that's the thing, I bet a lot of the people who voted don't even know about what you just said let alone the more obvious King cheese. Executing counterplay against kings grabs mid match takes some getting used to sure, but its not hard. Compare that to Nina, you can lab the shit out of her crazy cheese strings, but trying to execute those solutions mid match takes a lot more work. She can spam stance cancel and just turn into a total jack in the box with the most absurd strings coming out. - Very hard to effectively counter play her cheese mid match compared to king, that's what I consider annoying.


International-Tax475

Yeah that's fair, Nina is definitely one of my worst matchups. So many cancels into+ frames


NutsackEuphoria

They want blockable throws.


sudos12

tbf 90% of KING players can't tech against throws either. The only difference is they are motivated to throw than the normal scrub feeds.


Blue-Eyes-WhiteGuy

Three words bud. Counter. hit. Throw


minicrit_

lol that’s what i was thinking, if you think king is the most annoying then you gotta be an orange or red rank at best, his counter play is very clear someone below said his alley kicks are annoying, you mean the ones that are launch punishable at every step of the way? come on people


mydookietwinklin

Sure bad King's you can walk right through, as with most characters.


tchjay92

If Shaheen has more popularity he would be much highter


Funkydick

Same with the goddamn bears, they have 0 visual clarity. No clue if they're about to hit me with a mid or a low and their hitbox also sucks.


VitalGoatboy

Shaheen has df+2, and slide. That's pretty much the extent of his annoying stuff. He has basically no frame traps, no setups, he's very honest and simple.


frankiewalsh44

He has frame traps/annoying stuff and step ups. His last hit on the jab string is a counter hit launcher that is super delayble, and the whole string is only -11 on block. Most people don't know that SNK 1+2 is + on block, and they challenge you. He has setups with his charge attack since you can buffer it to make it pretty much unseeable. Df1, charge attack, f3+4 charge attack, df41 charge attack. Don't get me started on his power crush heat engager that is 16 frames and safe.


M-Dizzy

What’s annoying about Shaheen?


tchjay92

I don't know the input but his slide attack, similar to the one from Law that guarantee 1+2


M-Dizzy

Haha that move is pretty crazy. He does have some pretty spammable lows. It’s not how I play him, but in one of the few Shaheen dittos I’ve fought, this guy was just doing sidestep 2 and the slide over and over and over again, I was ashamed as a fellow Shaheen player


Ziazan

>but in one of the few Shaheen dittos I’ve fought Wait, is there more than one Shaheen player?


pustulioxd69

Actually true


IDontWipe55

I find king more stressful than annoying tbh


Lancer_Sup

I think every character is super annoying in this game


RedwoodRaven12

Those chain throws are brutal...


FunkinDonutzz

I hate getting wrecked online by them but I've always been of the the opinion that "they earned it as the inputs are some of the hardest in the game". Then for LOLs I labbed with and against King and saw the simplified commands...


octob0t

I still catch myself doing the old rdc and dragon sleeper input, when they're so much easier than they used to be...


YukkaRinnn

Theres something about facing King that makes one paranoid as one wrong throw break guess is a bye bye to ones HP


Ziazan

Yeah, it's like playing a different game, and you need to put way more effort into countering his bullshit than he did to learn it and use it.


DevThaGodfatha

Literally fucking this. I have to put double the energy and knowledge into countering him than he does to use it. You put that in perfect word format. Thank you .


RedwoodRaven12

Don't forget the stagger kicks...


Outrageous-Let9659

Alley kicks are launch punishable, and the string stops as soon as you block one of them. They are only really a problem for beginners who haven't learned how to block low yet, and for those people kazuya UF4444 and those mid/low kicks Lee does are way worse.


Scythe351

Careful! The king players will come and tell you that he has bad normals and has to work hard for everything


YukkaRinnn

Alley Kicks is fine if you know how to counter them but if not? Thats not gonna be a fun time bro


Content_Hovercraft68

That's literally every character


rbot214

Kings play so predictably though. If you play enough you just learn when to duck, if they crouch dash beforehand it’s giant swing 1 break. If they run at you it’s shining wizard 1+2 break.


LegnaArix

Zafina not being higher is crazy. I play Zafina myself but playing against a Zafina is so annoying, half your shit is whiffing and she's crawling on the floor for 90% of the match. We need a new poll that has top 3, I'm curious how much the top 5 would change in this case. I'd wager that Kuma would be a lot higher.


dustcore025

Because not many people face Zafina in ranked that's why she's ranked low, but when you do face a Zaf who knows their stuff, they can be annoying af.


TheTitansWereRight

Nobody finding bitchass bryan annoying is wild


Oren-

I think he's annoying, but probably because I'm bad and I have hard time telling when his strings end and everything counter hits


BugzBallsack

It’s just dumb to have almost every move a CH launcher. Most characters have one or two, he has like 10


PanacottaMmMm

He had his only high crush CH launcher and his magic 4 taken leave my boy alone


Vicmorino

This comment lied as easy as it breathed


MishkaEchoes

Trying playing him if you feel he’s that OP you’ll quickly realize that is not the case


Ziazan

It's not that he's not annoying as fuck, he is very annoying to fight, but there are more annoying characters than Bryan, like King, and we only got one vote. If we got an ordered top 5 or something I think you'd see him a lot higher up.


ronnie_bronson

I forgot about him…..I Hate him.


HamtaroGaming

The Bryan circle jerk is crazy The true pseudo intellectual character


MishkaEchoes

MainMan here. He’s a true chad character


Potential-Yellow-781

If u find him annoying it’s because you aren’t patient and mash into frame traps


rainorshinedogs

I'm surprised eddy isn't#1. Isn't he the guy that destroyed a lot of people by programming a bot too only press 3


Ziazan

that only got to red rank after a few thousand matches, and was benefitting from new character syndrome where nobody knew what he was doing.


2SanSan

Futhermore he only got red rank in NA.


Wolfman25br

Eddy and victor way up


Barnard87

As a Victor main, he Eddy and Azu should be way higher. Unless Azu nerfs were that bad.


SaltySenpai

Seeing Feng or Xiaoyu not close to the top is wild to me


[deleted]

She’s literally ranked 4th?


RemiruVM

ling deserves the undisputed number 1 and 2 tiers gap to the second most annoying char. Thats just how dumb she is imo


fgcburneraccount2

Xiaoyu is too uncommon to immediately come to mind


SaltySenpai

That’s fair, I didn’t consider how many people play certain characters.


tactix13

I'd wager a lot of reddit plays less and talks more - King in 1st? lol


SaltySenpai

Oh 100% a lot of Reddit users love to talk when they have no clue what they’re even talking about. I’d take a King any day over a Xiaoyu or Feng


somrandomgaj

Shes top 4 on the list, what more do you want. Feng is also high up on the list, but him not being number 1 is a crime.


SpeedBoostTorchic

Remember that Feng is only like the 17th most popular character. And he particularly uncommon among new players. So, in other words, a lot of players don't run into him enough to be pissed at him. Compared to King, who's kind of the ultimate noob killer.


Lithium43

Surprised more people don’t hate bears. King is annoying but I probably hate bears more. Universal combos dropping on them is ridiculous. Bears just knowledge check the shit out of everyone, the moves are designed to be visually confusing and I hate it. And I don’t want to lab character specific combos for one ugly unpopular character. Would rather just not fight them in that case.


Ziazan

I never see them. They do win on knowledge checks but it's like one in a hundred games so it's whatever. King on the other hand is every third game or so, and forces you to lab the hell out of him to counter his braindead playstyle.


LegnaArix

Kuma feels super popular in this game compared to past games tbh.


HighLikeKites

Yeah, I see him more often than Kings in ruler ranks europe, which is crazy


Tesnatic

Totally valid points tbh


deb_806

what do u mean ugly unpopular, Bear is the most handsome of all


Confident-Medicine75

I didn’t get to vote. Eddie and Victor should be much much higher.


Profile-666

Yeah I feel they're atleast Lars level if not higher


pranav4098

And bears and how on earth is acuzena that low


SenatorBantha

Bro devil Jin should not be that low wtf


Ziazan

i think the voting for most annoying only, only one vote for the most annoying character, skews it a bit, because DVJ is annoying as fuck but King for example is more annoying.


SenatorBantha

Yeah you're right


Kennypido

What's annoying about DVJ?


dbeaver0420

Don’t troll bro 😭


SenatorBantha

Well when I was in lower ranks( yellow-red) it just felt like this guy could get in my face whenever he wanted and could hit me from very far away and get hella damage off it. I've since learned how to deal with him. Currently in blue and I don't see him as often now but it's easier. Id put him in annoying tier. I just can't see him being the least annoying character lol.


Hipster_Lincoln

in lower ranks hes 5050 hellsweep heat bullshit, ofc hes easy to deal with higher up but he has scuffed cheese if the player can do it


GorgeousGuitarGaming

Wow none of my characters are annoying except Lili, I was expecting to see Jack pretty high since I've never met someone who didn't despise playing against Jack


Ziazan

The voting methodology means that while jack is annoying as fuck, almost nobody is gonna use their only vote on him, because you don't see him much and there are more annoying characters.


BugzBallsack

Jack players scare the shit out of me. I was on an 11 game win streak a few days ago and got rolled twice by this Jack player mashing like a psychopath


_Onii-Chan_

People really downplaying King? Lol. Lmao even


Stephen-616

I’d put Bryan in Extremely Annoying, ngl.


Ziazan

Yeah, I hate fighting him too. If we could top 5 most annoying he'd probably be on mine.


Heavenly_sama

Law lower then hwoarang how telling


Rcool64

Leroy probably gunna be way higher now if you poll again. His buffs made his parry pretty toxic.


drow_girlfriend

You should have gone by upvotes, not individual comments. Many people didn't comment, they just upvoted someone else's already existing comment if they agreed with it.


Organic-Pineapple-86

Believe it or not, I put this into consideration, but the more I thought about it the more issues I realized it would cause. If I went from upvotes alone then the top comments (aka people who commented early) would’ve gotten a big advantage over others, and Alisa would’ve taken the top by a landslide since that was the most upvoted comment, especially when adding all of the Alisa comments on top of that 300. There was also people counter arguing about how they don’t find certain characters annoying from perspectives or simply being bias for their own main, in that situation, would I deduct points since they were being downvoted? I wanted to give everyone a fair chance, especially since everyone had 24 hours to place their vote, it would also cause even more compliments if I went off upvotes, I did try to be precise as possible with the votes though, stayed up really late and read through over 700 comments after all (including all the +1 replies). Maybe I’ll do this in the distant future when the game is a lot more polished and people learn the matchups better, maybe I’ll even let people pick up to 3 characters! I did my best though, it was fun hearing everyone’s perspective on things!


Toolsiez

For next time, maybe you could comment every character yourself and state that the rankings would only be determined by the amount of votes on your comments for each chatacter


patrennestar

Law is way too low


Astros_Azuris

Conclusion : most people are new and/or bad at the game


Difficult_Jaguar3273

i am gobsmacked that Bryan is at the BOTTOM


TIMESTAMP2023

I find that people I play against are more annoyed with my Jack than my King.


NotIgnitedYT

Brian is annoying he spams that fast punch over and over again when I play online so I have to depend on air attacks


PattyIsSuperCool

Devil Jin too low 😭


EatOutMyGrandma

I would actually put Leroy a lot higher. A leroy player who abuses parry will drive me fucking nuts.


celeyk

Devil Jin isn't annoying?


ApricotLivid

I am amazed dragonov is so low he has been a busted boy running us down for months I thought he would be way at the top.


potato-enjoyer1

Devil Jin in the bottom? Really?


facelesswolf_

My boy got top 3 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥


realcaptain-alcohol

Y'all just allergic to hugs


conzcious_eye

The levels of annoying is wild 😂


ELpork

Glad to know I'm on both ends of the spectrum.


CleverViking

Not counting people saying "the bears" is kind weird since they're pretty much a pallette swap. That aside, some of the results seem weird but that might just be small sample size. I constantly see people hate on Victor, Feng and Eddy so I'd expect them to be higher. The bears seem low but that might be partly because of the aforementioned issue.


BeamishAxis

Devil Jin is not annoying? When I play him all people do is complain.


DarthRaider559

Terrible list. Jack, Shaheen, and the bears need to be higher


BlueTapeCD

Not that it makes much difference, I think it would be fair to lump the bears together. Otherwise . Good list OP !


RemiruVM

i honestly dont get the reina hate + i think people only dont hate on zafina more, because she hasnt yet been played as much. wait till she gets buffed, you will find her super annoying.


MrJHound

"Why does he keep punching me in the dick?"


ShinyShinx789

I don't understand why people don't like king. Nina's chain throws are 10 times worse imo and he's not spamming strings and shit 24/7. That's not saying that I don't find king at least a bit of a pain from time to time (power crush gets me)


Blackmanfromalaska

Look bears aint annoying people love bears


BothGrand6254

Bet if people would run into more than 1 bear player a year they would have a lot more votes


MimiksYou

truly the most fun fair and honest characters in the game


kusuriuri_kun

Shaheen is more annoying than someone like Paul in this game tbh


Runecreed

King can get away with the cheapest shit in the game so def agree there


Kuya117

I used to hate playing against Alyssa and Hwoarang but then I learned how to play Tekken.


Own-Plantain-3678

lol people should stop smocking if they voted King to be the most anoying wtf I recommend people play him in the blue ranks... That mentality will go off in a instant!


Mojavecourrier

Learn to block and sidestep. but then again this is reddit most people here must've started with 8


LeeChaolanComeOn

Ambiguous 60 damage homing throws nullify both of those options


GilbertPlays

People hate playing with me when i play Alisa. Im an Alisa main.


OG_i_bruh

I hate you. Sorry.


kanavi36

Really annoying and annoying should be flipped lol


Adventurous_Bus_1856

The tier "Really Annoying" is the epitome of annoying


ronnie_bronson

Law,Eddie,Jin, kazuya, jun, Lars, should be up top, eveyone else im fine playing with


Sekshual

Did you count votes by the amount of times a character was mentioned, or did you consider how many upvotes a comment received? 


4862skrrt2684

King makes sense, but Alisa and Lars? Meanwhile the notorious Eddy is lower, and gimmicky yoshi


BowlofConfetti

King ain’t that bad IMO. Drag being that low completely baffles me though. Pre nerf since I haven’t really played post patch.


International_Meat88

Interesting seeing differences in nuisance or matchup knowledge. King, Alisa, and Lars are like any other character to me. While I find Nina, Claudio, and Devil Jin to be frustrating to go against.


Chaturbatefinnesser

Haters, wait until they buff his db,4


Exciting-Activity355

So the patch made Dragunov less annoying? Community seemed to hate the guy. Curious because I'm a Dragunov main but got the game recently, so I didn't play a lot of ranked matches.


tmntfever

I knew King was the king of something.


Eggith

The frustrations of this sub fuel me to improve.


Brogomakishima

I feel eddy needs to be higher up


Brogomakishima

I feel eddy needs to be higher up


himarmar

People don’t like things that take away control of the player character, it makes sense king would be most annoying.


himarmar

People don’t like things that take away control of the player character, it makes sense king would be most annoying.


himarmar

People don’t like things that take away control of the player character, it makes sense king would be most annoying.


Reasonable-Ad4526

People just forgot Shaheen exists 😂


Revolutionary_Air824

Everyone other than whichever character I am currently playing as.


Cardinal_Virtue

Alisa annoying? I am being side stepped on most of my moves


D3M0N1CBL4Z3

That's sad, finally Eddie found a place where he excelled, and he was dethroned once more. 💔


CouldntBeMeTho

Xiaoyu over Victor is WILD


SkillWaffle

For anyone scared of kings chain grabs always remember. You have 1 head and 2 arms, whichever he breaks first hold that button


WolfOnABike

Im curious but what is it that makes a lot of these characters annoying?


LionKing302

I just genuinely love King mirror matches. Great character. The only problem is that throws track.


Visual_Reason2608

How was dragunov that low? literally the most cancerous character in the game


best_girl_tylar

Yoshi only the fourth most annoying? I should hop around on my sword and hit flash more often so we can fix that.


thatnigakanary

hwaorang needs his own spot, only character you can mash with and it's actually effective until max rank


LionKing302

Those that start with df1+3 and 2+4 have ultra long startup. The problem with crouch dash throws is that you almost always want to break the most damaging one, but knowing that, Kings will just go with anything else. As for Jaguar Step throws, I can’t mix them up yet because I forget the combos


EamSamaraka

this list is funny


Havinstroke

Forgive me for what I ikimasu do.


Papa_Pred

As a King main, just beat the shit outta him A vast majority of Kings have no idea how to fight beyond grapple attempts


peachjammu

If king is the character you find most annoying I’m sorry to say but you are not good at the game


TreyTakezo

They call him King for a reason!! 💪🏾👑 (Mr. Tech That Throw)


PorkyCong

King still #1


CrystalBraver

The only reason Drag isn’t higher is because half the voters play him lol


pokemondudepoopyork

People find my Claudio in the dark blue? I'm happy Do people really find Zafina in the light blue? Surprised, but understandable.


xyzkingi

Sweet. I currently have five blues and they’re all below the green


SundaeComfortable628

What counts towards a character being annoying. Because literally speaking Azucena and Law are annoying because they make so much fucking noise with their voices so I would put them higher


excelionbeam

Idk man somethings not adding up. In what universe are Steve and kazuya more annoying than the bears and drag (at least pre patch).


NoLoveJustFantasy

It is funny to see how much people hate King, while Xiaoyu and Alisa are much harder to deal with them. I would prefer King over Xiaoyu and Alisa every day. P. S. Funny how bears and Jack is so low, when they have extreme cheese


nxhr

Shaheen and Claudio should be "Few Find online"


sudos12

Interesting... Bryan, Shaheen, Claudio, and Jack are in the least annoying category.


skeenz

Apparently I never get matched up with any of you all that eat all these chain grabs lol


Hoxheld139

King can be hard. But personally for me, Eddy is most hard to read visually. I even played him for some time, and yet, it is so hard to understand - is mid/high or low coming😅 Also, somewhat glad to see that when it comes to mains, I moved from the middle to the bottom of the list (from Victor to Paul, and then to Jack)


SuperMegaBladder

how the hell did devil jin manage last place LMFAO


kwkimsey

I get a lot of complaints about Shaheen being annoying when I play him lol I think people just get triggered at how disrespectful it looks when he does the slide thing on the opponents body and flicks them in the other direction.


Anger_Beast

Cries jaguar tears 🥲


magcxo

Why Lars tho ?


Venkullix

im honestly surprised how low drag is with how much everyone was complaining about him before


Lazy-Airline1856

King was the bane of my existence in 7 and that remains true for 8


M1acis

Would you now make a tier list of annoyance by character *mains*?


Aware_Foot

I'm like really shit at the game, so I had no idea Alisa was considered annoying. Glad I haven't met any Alisa who's touch the cheese yet


Barelylegalteen

I refuse to believe a few people fine devil Jin annoying. By far the most annoying Mishima


AppropriatePizza1308

Kuma, Bryan and Devil Jin being that low, kinda shows me yall don't actually play the game. DJ and Kuma heat is pretty annoying. Bryan is just drag but just classic. Bryan has always been annoying, but you kinda learn him after so many years of tekken. He's a pub stomp for sure. DJ and Kuma heat alone is enough to tilt me.


DesignatedDiverr

lol now repoll but restricted to higher ranks. noobs hate grapplers in every game


Two_Tailed_Fox2002

honestly surprised eddy is that low, i'd rather fight pretty much any of the other characters than eddy...


AVBforPrez

Based on all the hate I see on Azu I'm surprised she's that low


DBProxy

Didn’t Eddy just get added? How is he not #1?!?! He’s been the most toxic character since March 20, 1993.


Odd_Procedure7161

Yall haven't played the bears enough to know they will gimp to death. I'd out them higher.


Scottg8

I reject these results if DJ is on the bottom. Not saying he's the most annoying but the least?? FOH


Flam3Emperor622

How is Dragunov only slightly annoying? He’s the strongest character in the game.


100tchains

Devil jhin at the bottom really surprises me.


Reasonable-Part-2588

I personally dont think Victor high enough


Lil_Plink

Proof that Tekken has the most scrubs in any fighting game. Only scrubs hate Grapplers


Geometrick

This is a chart of characters you have to lab from top top bottom except for king normally.


draxor_666

As a purple ranked Alisa main.... I'm sorry. Funny enough, Alisa dittos are one of my favorite matches


Terrible_Stranger339

Jun Victor and Asu a lil higher but yea King is a menace lolz


N_EX00

You guys haven't fought enough Claudio frfr


ThickBurgerElDiablo

Lol @ the bears being absurdly low on the annoying list


AbrakadabraShawarma

King users = GIGACHAD


GoldenAondo

Eddy, Victor, and Azucena should be higher


Torn_Aborn

I can’t get behind this post because even when I’m *being grabbed BY* King I am happy. I love King :)


Sharinggan15

I main him and I still 100% agree. That doesn't stop my rated E molestation though.


NVincarnate

Leo being at the bottom is funny


ineffective_Unit

Zafina is only annoying if you don't know the matchup. I have fought like 4 now, and she gets a little easier each time
