Jun. 22nd, 2017 11:09 pmTekken blather- So in my quest to unlock all of Lili's stuff I've ranked her way beyond the previous characters. As I said before, I played them to 100 wins in order to unlock their second title. So, most of them are 16th Dan, Vanquishers. But I pressed on with Lili to get her Lil Devil outfit components. But by the time I got that, I was a few Dan ahead, so I figured I might as well use her to get to the last rank. So I'm up to 31st Dan, Ryujin, which is five away from the top rank, Tekken God Prime.
Although it doesn't look like I get a trophy for that, the only thing it really gets me is seeing Tekken God Prime listed on the upper right hand corner of the screen as highest rank achieved. And since its offline mode, its not like anyone will see it. But hey, attempting it does get me closer to the 2000 matches needed to unlock everything. Which the way things are going, I might actually get everything unlocked before then. Its still chance, so you never know, but ~800 chances to unlock maybe a couple dozen things at most, I like those odds.
Anyways, in my search to see how many ranks they are, google results got me messages from the various message boards where people are all, "I'm rank X, is that good?" Ugh, who asks that?! I mean, you can easily google the ranks to know where you stand. I know why they're asking it, they're looking for validation, for people to be all, "Oh wow, that's good!" But its dumb, because 1) It makes you look like a douche, because you're trying to be all, "Oh, this is my rank? That's good? Cool, I didn't even know I was so great!" 2) You're possibly setting up for embarrassment because again, such people are looking for the answer to be, "Yes, that's good!" but if you don't know whether your rank is good or not, chances are it effin isn't.
Like no, Brawler is not a good freaking rank, its only 10th Dan, out of 36. Just don't. Also, people who are all, "Well, I'm stuck at rank X, looks like button mashing has gotten me as far as I can go!" If that's how you play, you have no business playing a fighting game! Get the eff out of here, scrub!
It pisses me off, because people will practice getting good at a shooter, or any other game. But some people act like, "Oh, I don't need to learn moves, I'll just mash buttons!" Its like, what do you have against the genre that you won't even try to play properly?! Today's fighting games are intricately designed works of art and you're shitting on the developers if you don't play it right.
