Unlimited Cheap Move/Strategies Online?

My point was that people who like to spam can give it but don't handle it too well when you do it back to them, I only played Tekken 6 for about a month or so and then quit playing it when ssf4 came out, not much experience but certainly enough to recognise that if I'm forced to defend against the same attack
literally 10 times in a row and even after I punish it they continue doing it anyway I think that should be considered as spam, highly ranked players were doing this frequently when I played it, I dont think it was conditioning I think they were just lasy players who thought I was free, after I beat them they would always be hating on me, accusations of being 'cheap', 'kick spammer' and 'throw masher' etc. were always made, like I said before if these players cant defend properly thats their problem not mine.

 

Oh they do work, given enough lag.

Your honesty is well appreciated[/size]. Lag Tactics That's actually pretty good. And sometime spamming is used to teach poor players how to step up their game (I didn't know that). So Signia, MDSPrime do you only use spamming against
scrubs, or noobs, or is your spamming and lag tactics sucessful against high level players?

So its as I thought would be the case originally. There is offline Kung Fu and now you need a new online Kung Fu to deal with Lag Tactics and spamming Because offline techniques don't work against some of the things that are possible online.

I still go back and forth on how I feel about people who take advantage of lag spamming to win, I'm not really complaining. I was just shocked, amused, and amazed at how many ways you could do it in Tekken 6. I have 4 or 5 hundred ranked matches in SCIV and I haven't seen anything near like what i've seen in Tekken 6

 

This topic is about playing "online" so obviously anything could happen~

Blaming those spammers won't help either you or them level up because they still don't get it.

 

Damn Po, you make me not want to pick up Tekken.

I only use lag tactics (in SCIV/VF5) when I'm losing because my opponent is using them as the base of their strategy (even then, only on the last round in a ranked match). Regularily using them myself would just give me bad habits. SCIV lag tactics are so ridiculous and obvious to high level (online..) players that whenever noobs join our room and use them we get a laugh ("Nice mixups bro!").

Spamming against my toughest opponents though? Depends on your definition. Same two attacks in a row? All the time. Three throws in a row? Sure! As long as it would work offline, anything goes. That's what makes it fun: both players are doing everything they can to win (lag tactics not included).

 

Time to upgrade the 38.8k modem....

 

I've been playing online ever since Namco released the patch.

People will certainly resort to the "cheapest" "spammiest" tactics to win, especially in a ranked match. Due to the nature of the game, Tekken noobs are generally more dangerous than VF noobs. (Mashing will get you a little further at the noob level in Tekken)

However, once you start getting good, the so called "cheap" stuff people attempt becomes laughable. You'll be more annoyed that you can't find decent competion more than anything else.

If higher ranked players are getting the best of you with the same moves over and over again, you're not adapting enough for them to do something new.

For example, I've got head games that go 4 or 5 levels deep with some moves I do, but some players never get past the first layer.

It takes two talented players to experince higher level play. Otherwise, someone's just getting their ass kicked.

 

Some viable offline strategies actually become lag tactics and even stronger, online.

I'm not talking about spamming or anything though... or am I talking about that too?

 

Yeah, some moves like throws or quick lows become alot more effective online. Alot of the tournament goers avoid online completely. Tekken's netcode is pretty crappy compared to VF's.

However, despite the crappy netcode, I don't think there's anything that would keep a truly good player down online. You'll lose to some shady tactics every now and then,(Due to lag and not the tactics themselves) but with enough practice it really shouldn't be happening all the time.
