It's pretty much in line with him not using drive rush in sf6. Also he does not use all the characters tools. And he can't defend for shit.
I love how he couldn't decide which cope to go for, so just went for all of them at once.
It's not even at high-level yet, he's failing at the basics. I'm trash at fighting games and only play them casually but even I notice he's constantly pressing buttons. The reason you see him getting comboed for 15 hits into a corner is because he'll get blocked and immediately press a button. If you're blocked your character needs a few frames of animation to recover before you can attack again. In this timeframe the opponent can attack and all you can really do is block, but blocking your opponent's attack will put you on the offense again. Fighting games are sort of played in "turns" by recognizing when you have this advantage and when your opponent does. Phil thinks it's always his "turn" and mashes out attacks over and over. When he gets punished he blames his opponent for "spamming" which is exactly what he's doing.
Tekken 8's Replay mode would tell him how to punish or avoid certain moves he gets destroyed by. He wouldn't even have to lab and try to find a way to punish specific moves himself. Of course, his idea of "improving" is watching pro matches and hoping that it rubs off on him somehow.
Imagine being over 40 years old and being this petulant that someone beat you in a video game.
A wet, smooth brain would be the best candidate for learning by osmosis?
That's why mirror matches are fun to watch. That one earlier showed just how little he knows how to do with Yoshimitsu. For a guy that whines constantly about people "spamming the same moves", he only knows like 10% of the ones that the character he's playing can do.
You forget his cardinal rule, he can do it, but others are not allowed to.
The worst part about it is that he manages to look like absolute shit despite living a life of leisure.
I guess that's one of few things he has in common with other streamers who have luxury income. In this case: Asmongold, the bleeding gums man who doesn't wash himself.
There's literally a replay option that tells you what to do and let's you jump in abs practice that scenario
It looks like there's less of the psycho movement Korean backdashing in this one, but I still can't get over how stiff Phil looks in T6. He just walks straight back slowly like his character has an impacted colon or mashes buttons. It's hideous.
You would think that for a guy who mashes buttons (despite saying otherwise), that he'd use the same technique when it comes to movement. He's moving like he's playing Street Fighter, which is obviously NOT what you do in Tekken. He can double tap to dash in and out or sidestep, but I guess that's way too complicated for Phil. I guess he just mimics how he moves in real life.
I went into his stream yesterday for a few minutes and his entire chat are trolls except maybe 3 or 4 people. Everyone else makes fun of him for the "LAaahhgg" and "dropped inputs!!!" He is just too stupid to understand sarcasm. Besides the tards larping it's just a constant stream of subtle insults. He's mocked constantly and just stares at the screen with his dumb stroke face.
Minor thing, but Phil hopelessly mashing while saying "can't break the throe!" will never get old. It's one of those DSPism's that will always make me laugh.
