IT HAS BEEN DONE BABY!!!!!!! First ever Asuka player in the world to hit Tekken God Of Destruction. I'm really proud to be the first one in the world to achieve this feat with Asuka. For those of you who believed in me, I thank you whole-heartedly. This is for you guys ๐ฉท.
I have to say that this is probably the best I've ever played in any event I've played in so far in Tekken 8. All the weeklies that happen online, such as WTI, 9moons, paragon, TSE, Ironmane, and of course TNS I have won at least one time each. Major achievement for me. Thx guys!
I just wanted to say, T7 is T7 and T8 is T8. Don't try and go change it because its not to your liking. If you don't like it stick to T7 and let us have fun in T8. However, if you decide to play T8 my advice is this. Lose without complaining and blaming T8 for being *Unbalanced*
Since I was too busy practicing Tekken 7, I didn't play Tekken 8 very much, but here are my initial impressions.
Too many things need to be changed.
Chip damage must be eliminated or reduced.
The overall combo damage must be decreased.
-Meter should not be handed out at the
Disappointment... this is the one word that truly describes my experience at EVO JPN. Jpn is cool, don't get me wrong, but overall, I came here to play tekken and try and improve on myself as a player. Losing in pools and losing first match game 2 is so uncharacteristic of me. (1
My first international event is in the books. I made Top 8 winners' side at Electric Clash in Canada, finishing 5th out of 205 entrants. I earned 120 points in the TWT standings. I'm feeling pretty good. Now, onto EVO Japan! ๐

@tkn_gmr
I just can't believe it. I'm in shock rn. I thought I was gonna get destroyed in GF after I got 3-0ed in WF. But I managed to come from behind and win the week before EVO. I'm not gonna say that it means a lot since it's right before EVO, but I hope I can keep playing like this.
I don't think I will ever in my life miss T7. Everyone would just run away and let time run off the clock, and it just wasn't fun to play. I'm glad we have tekken 8 now. It is vanilla, and there is a lot of broken stuff rn, but I love the game nonetheless. T7 was the same way 1/4
Just made it out of round 1 pools on the winners side.
#ASUKAGANG
we out here. Let's keep the momentum going tomorrow ๐ช.
Tomorrow's pools are at 1pm also, so let's get some rest ๐ด.
49th at EVO. Lost to
@Jeondding_tk
in a scramble final final round, and my character can't play scrambles. And lost to
@KingJae
. I wish we had Leroy players in the US. Oh well, until next time, I guess ๐.
Omw to Vegas baby. Couldn't have made this trip possible without the help of my steam, my dad,
@realjackietran
, and all the TNS weeklies I've won. I'm glad to be able to put my skills to the test in one of the biggest offline tournaments the world has to offer. See u there!
Bro, honest to god, post nerfs just making me feel like all the previous success I had before just goes right out the window as soon as my character gets buffed. I will admit she's good now, but she's no Feng, Alisa, ling, or any of the other broken top tiers in the game. 1/4
I would like to offer a formal apology to
@cuddle_core
for a tweet that I made back in February. (Tweet: ) I take full responsibility for my actions and know that I was wrong. She is an amazing competitor and someone I have looked up to for years. I'm sorry
That top 2 looks familiar ๐. But seriously, to all the pros in NA, I need some serious help rn. I do not feel ready for EVO. I honestly think imma lose out in pools. I think I play awful offline compared to when I play online, and I don't know what it is. I just need insight.
MADE TOP 64 WINNERS AT EVO BABY!!!!!
The next match is gonna be vs. Jeondding. Let's get some much needed revenge for years ago when I played him in a tournament when I was 12. I hope it's gonna be on stream ๐.
I'm very lucky to have the father that I have. He's dedicated most of his life as a father to teaching me how to play tekken and take me around to compete in more tournaments than I can count. Overall, I know that without him I wouldn't be where I am today. Happy Fathers Day dad!
Just won

Yall need to stop throwing shade at
@JoeCrush_
man. He did nothing to yall literally. You can blame the game and online as much as you want cause it's a problem we've had for years when it comes to tekken. But this dude Joe is a great rep for USA and is dominant rn in tournament.
I wanna know who from NA is going to EVO JPN. Idc what anyone thinks or says. Since EVO JPN is going to the first Master + or big major in general for T8, we need to use that opportunity to the max. If we won't back each other up for US majors, then we need to do it there.
This is one of the best rules for an online event I've ever seen in my life. Like seriously more people who got beef in this game need to always be playing in this event.

AFTER 2 WEEKS OF LOSING CONSTANTLY IN TOURNAMENT WE FINALLY DID IT BABY! My last win was MaxMode 2 weeks ago, and since then, I haven't managed to win any big online event after that. However, I'm glad that I was able to prove tonight that I still got it.
#ASUKANATION
@R4R3side
Yea so for whatever reason, I was the 2nd highest prowess in the world as soon as I promoted to TGOD. So I decided to bully people with King for a bit and here you go.
#1
Asuka in the world and first TGOD Asuka is also your
#1
Tekken Prowess holder!
I ask for my character to have better movement cause hers is ass, and a tracking mid poke with range, and I get this. Well, we better put it to good use now. Can't really downplay her anymore since she got useful changes, but it would be nice to actually be able to kbd and step.
NGL losing to this braindead spam and having to deal with this now tilted me hard AF. where is my ub1+2??? where was I crouching or not blocking??? Don't downplay this hoe no more...
Made 4th place at the first regional event for Tekken 8. I couldn't be happier with my performance today, losing to

tomorrow at noon est. Wish me luck! ๐
P.S. I've proven time and time again that I can do it even when she was bad, so if I'm doing it now, it shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. So imma keep doing my thing. If anyone here wants to support that, I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. May God bless you all.
I'm getting a lot of nice words considering that I did get top 64 at EVO with Asuka and for me I don't think a lot of people truly realize how hard of a character she is to pilot in tournament especially after seeing all the characters we have to deal with rn. 1/?
After another day of playing ranked, I'm back on top of the Asuka Leaderboard internationally for all platforms. I'm also the first Asuka to hit blue ranks ๐
Airport chilies hits different. I'm ready to go home ๐ซ. Flight is at 8am, so I got some waiting to do. EVO was a great experience. shoutouts to
@realjackietran
and
@Persia_xo
for letting me stay with them for 2 weeks while on this trip. I was able to learn a lot here thx to them
Well, nerves definitely got the best of me tonight. Very out of character for me but gotta take the L. Still made top 8 at the very least despite how out of it I felt. Nerves aren't easy to deal with. I'm still learning how to manage my own. Asuka still made top 8 tho so we good.
This is an aggro based game where the ones who play smarter aggro win. And that's what I've done with Asuka since the release of 8, even when she wasn't the best. So imma reap the benefit of the buffs. You can't take my skill away from me just because my character got buffs 4/4
I would just like to take the time to publicly thank
@TrojanKP3

Tekken is and always will be a big part of my life and I've been competing from a young age. It bothers me when people badmouth something that I grew up with to enjoy my life with my friends and my father. Then again everyone is entitled to their opinion. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

I've always played her. Never had another main in tekken my whole 18 years of living with Tekken. Asuka has always defined me as a player. And she forever always will, hopefully. I am forever loyal to this character for getting through every tournament she's gotten me through 2/4

I'm totally content with 3rd post changes. Drag and Alisa still prove a challenging MU for Asuka as always, but we'll find a way to overcome it before DreamHack Dallas ๐ช
Majority of the people in the US that I play actually play the characters that they play because they actually enjoy the character they play despite them being either good or bad. That's why I've always played Asuka. However, in Japan, it really felt like a top tier every match(3
I finished tied for 25th at

I got 7th in TNS tonight. Another top 8 for the Asuka Nation. Also,

came to the light after my top 8 set was over and said that he now sees that Asuka has issues with the tracking. FINALLY, SOMEONE GETS IT BRO. Anyways, ggs to

#buffAsuka
Asuka Destabilizer (f1+3 & f2+4). It is a throw that does not track even tho it's a throw. Its range is worse than a regular grab. The low option is a big risk being -18, and the mid doesn't even do chip, knocks back far, and is -9. This is why this move is getting buffed.
@SuperAkouma
@SuperAkouma
I suggest that you play against some really good Claudio players if you haven't played against him enough because that character I guarantee you is not bottom 5 rn. If anything, I would've put him in A or low A+.
So funny story:
People who see my name assume that I'm a king main even though I main Asuka. I'm Puertorican but sadly don't speak Spanish ๐, but my mom does. My dad came up with the name because Rey in Spanish, which is both of our real name, means king in English. Thus, ReyRey
