I think that the idea of Tekken is more frustrating the better I get. I've actually wanted to stop playing Tekken more frequently with more things that I learn. I think that initially, the pay off for time spent in the game was astronomical. Now, it seems like the "fun" that I'm receiving isn't out weighing the amount of time I'm putting into the game.
The personal problem I had was being consistently good in public. I don't intentionally try to play on streams, but some people I know only play Tekken when they stream, so it's kind of inevitable. There's too much stuff that I'm required to do in Tekken. The better you get, the more you are exposed to how much more you don't know. People actually expect you to know a whole lot. They expect to at least know how to punish a high amount of moves, but what if I haven't been exposed to this character? Nahmsayin. So the designation, specifically, the arbitrary "Rank" you have, while it looks cool, it also kind of puts a target on your forehead. There are expectations on you. Why care about expectations?
Well I kind of look for validation a lot, there's really no other reason for me to upload videos than to receive validation and feedback.
I personally felt that I shouldn't be playing ranked as a Genbu until I learned how to properly Korean back dash. Why is that important? Well, my movement or lack of movement ends up helping me lose more quickly than before.
I would get clipped by a homing move or by a move when I was clearly blocking. I still go to locals but there is usually always someone better than me.
If I woke up tomorrow and decided to stop playing Tekken, that would kind of suck, but I also think about if it wouldn't suck. Just some thoughts I had. The better you get, it seems like you get the opportunity to stand on new vantage points, only to see how much farther away you are from where you want to get. But where I want to get is....an enigma. It's funny, because you get to where you want to be, but it's never enough, you just want to get to the next level, forever.
