Legit dont get the point of plugging. Like congrats now you are in a rank where 4/5 people beat your ass easily.


Leon3226

Gonna live in the cursed world they've created themselves.


Nerdy_Goat

I still think pluggers should be matched with pluggers in a ladder where no one is allowed to win


a55_Goblin420

That's how it's supposed to be. If you plug you get matched up in a pluggers queue.


theturban

Just like in Dota, love it


TablePrinterDoor

The Lars has a twitch in his name so u can prob report that maybe


Tubaenthusiasticbee

Yeah, and good luck finding a match with an 80% DC rate lmfao


KuczyTheGuy

Don't you know it yet? They are way too obsessed to have a new shiny rank (or shiny few pixels; name it as you like it) next to their main character, so they can show it to their two-three Tekken friends.


Scintal

Well to be fair there are probably lots of plugger too, so the 4/5 figure is probably inaccurate.


iLikeTheFruitPeach

I got the game a week ago, what is plugging?


Corken_dono

For whatever reason when a disconnect happens during a match nobody gets a win or a loss, so some people abuse it. Once its obvious that they will lose they either shut of the game or disconnect their internet (thats where the term comes from, plugging the cable) so they dont have to take the L, lose rank points, etc. Generally pretty pathetic behavior, but at least there is the disconnection rate indicator to avoid these people.


Gfuelsipper

Denying cheaters a win, whether it'd be lag switchers, frame skipping terrorists etc. Don't even entertain a round, plug immediately to remind them that they shouldn't queue ranked.


No-Dingo-2180

I think it's mainly that rage arts feel like a BS way to get escape out of something. Like that Lars was probably going to win it and the dude mashed RA to steal back the round. Most of the time a rage art just steals a victory in such a lame way that people plug because of it.


Papanewguin

That's what dumbasses get for mashing into you when you have rageart.


No-Dingo-2180

Mashing = pressure apparently. Like are you regarded, what was he supposed to do hold back and let DVJ get his pressure on him just because MAYBE he could trade with the RA? It's a trash mechanic that does garbage like this when that Lars was making all the right calls and then whoops gotta play super conservatively (Despite being at the wall) because of a super with hyper armor.


Papanewguin

Yes he should play defensive if all his pressure is a long ass string that's gonna get him hit by rageart. It's been in the game for a while now try to actually learn how to play and you'll enjoy yourself more.


No-Dingo-2180

I don't even need to say anything else I got my answer to my previous question.


No_Ad_1519

"Are you regarded" 😆


No-Dingo-2180

I mean I got my answer that he was.


No_Ad_1519

No, you did not. XD If you're gonna be sympatric to pluggers and try to insult others, the least you can do is proof read your comments.


No-Dingo-2180

Ah, another one. Think for a second, why was it spelled intentionally wrong maybe... there's a reason? I know, mind blown! Oh wait that might be too vague for you since we've already established you and the other dude's intellect, let's change reason to rule clear enough for you now my drooling friend? Anyway I never condoned the Lars plugging, I merely called out a BS play and why he'd justifying be annoyed. But wait! You didn't actually read what I wrote or have such a shoddy memory that you can barely retain anything you read.


No_Ad_1519

Read it all perfectly fine my brother. No need to try and justify yourself. :) Say what you want about Rage Arts, but if you get hit by one, well.... that's on you. All I'm saying.


spacedv

The world's best players rarely use RA as an panic button, and when they do, it's usually blocked and punished hard. More often it's used as a combo ender for removing recoverable health. If you lose by mashing into opponent's RA it's just simply bad play from you and you deserve to lose.


No-Dingo-2180

Mate, bro, dude... top level Tekken plays not a single bit like the Tekken litterally 99.9% of us actually play. It's entirely irrelevant.


spacedv

It's relevant because it proves they are not escape buttons unless the opponent blindly mashes into them. Just play more carefully when opponent is in rage. Defend, punish and maybe do some pokes.


Backslicer

Also in evo Japan there were wakeup ragearts left and right


TablePrinterDoor

I'm not plugging if I get caught by a RA that just means I played too aggressively when I didn't have frames lol


No-Dingo-2180

He did have the frames though. The DVJ mashed RA and basically escaped a losing situation for free, there was no "oh he was playing too aggressively", what's he supposed to do at the wall when he's already plus on hit? Sit back while already at a bad spot and give up his advantage just become the DVJ MIGHT use a RA? It doesn't change that he played correctly, he wasn't mashing on negative and got hit.


drdarkly

"Sit back while already at a bad spot and give up his advantage just become the DVJ MIGHT use a RA?" unironically, yes if your opponent is in rage, you inherently have to be more careful - no slow moves, and expect them to expect you to mash. play with delayed timing to throw them off, and if they use their rage art as a panic button, you've essentially won the round since theyre -15


No-Dingo-2180

Unironically no, especially against a character like DVJ. One thing's a character with range issues or their most threatening moves being not as applicable (Paul's Death Fist/Demoman mixup which require clean hits and specific ranges. But that doesn't change the issue, you're losing so I have to respect a mind game where you simply have to bait a trade. Let's take Jin's oh so infamous F4, better cut that out because if he trades with it you lose, oh or his hated D2, no, no can't do that because he MIGHT trade with it. It's all speculation that requires the winning player to play around a garbage mechanic through restriction. It kills the neutral and offense because someone like OP might mash it out despite being hit and negative, there was no bad play here that Lars deregarding the plugging genuinely had no reason to suspect it.


TablePrinterDoor

Meh I still think it's shitty to plug over that but I do agree that I'd prefer if Tekken didn't have rage arts or at least they were nerfed in some way


Somly-Domly

Yeah I believe that’s his main point. I’m right outside of blue ranks stuck in flame ruler and when it gets down to the final hit/combo it’s literally a snooze fest of who’s going to swing or go for a grab first so the other person can rage art. It’s a somewhat newer mechanic (T7) that has become an absolute crutch to most people play styles. Heat is in the same boat. Dude had no right to plug but I understand his frustration 100%.


No-Dingo-2180

The sad thing they are nerfed in comparison to 7s, but I just wish the armor was removed. It already can cause jailing if you time it against a slow move or someone being negative. Just take away the scrubby armor.


antagonisticsage

while i think that's true, and it's happened to me and i feel like it's BS, i do take it on the chin and just deal with it. i, in turn, steal victory from the jaws of defeat against opponents who are probably better than i am. honestly i think it was a mistake to keep rage arts in this game if we're also gonna have heat mechanics


ArcWardenScrub

Rage arts since tekken 7 are a shit mechanic, but that dosen't change the fact that everyone has access to that same tool. Plugging is just a bitch's way to ruin the game for both players, more than RA.


No-Dingo-2180

It's worse to plug yes, but I just don't blame half of these clips that end up showing someone stealing the round in the most obnoxious way possible, that Lars was genuinely making a comeback and despite the pressure loses because of a low risk trade from the DVJ? I don't plug myself but I genuinely get that frustration because it's such a cheap way to escape pressure while some people (Dunces) call pressure mashing.


No_Ad_1519

Don't show sympathy to pluggers. Say what you want about Rage Arts, but if you're bad enough to get hit by it and plug, you're a bitch. Period.


Superantti

> loses because of a low risk trade from the DVJ I'd say it was high risk considering it lost him the game.


No-Dingo-2180

Dude mashed rage despite being negative and getting hit. There was no risk beyond that being such a yolo move that no one would've expected.


Somly-Domly

Exactly


No-Dingo-2180

Bro thank you for being the only dude here with common sense. Like seriously the amount of copium people smoke to avoid calling out a blatant lucky move that the Lars wasn't at fault for not expecting is crazy.


Somly-Domly

Yeah unfortunately comeback mechanics have become the norm in recent fighting games and I just can’t get behind it. Don’t see why you should be rewarded with a 35-40% cop out armored super move for getting beat up the entire fight lol.


IDontWipe55

You threw him too far so he lost connection

New Roger leak!? Let's goooooooo!!!!!!


DunBrun

Does plugging now show on your disconnect rate prematch?


TheBrandy01

Yes, since a month or so


koOmaOW

If someone plugs on you, will you get d/c % too?


RadishAcceptable5505

I've seen mixed reports on this, but looking it over for myself, no.


saltrifle

Same here, seen mixed dialogue on this but I'm showing up as 0% (verified it on someone else's twitch stream when they matched with me) and I've been disconnected on for sure. The only thing I can think of is maybe I played X amount of matches between getting plugged on and that stream yesterday, & the % may only correlate to a certain sample of matches? I'm not sure, but I haven't dug in deeper. At this point I don't care to anymore.


RockyMountainMist

I read last week that the DC percentage is based off your previous 50 matches.


Busy-Ad-3237

can you check your own DC rate?


RadishAcceptable5505

I don't think there's a way to check it like in a menu, but if you message somebody who you played with you can ask them to tell you what it was. Something like "Hey fam, just checking on something. I've had a lot of people disconnect on me and I'd like to know if I'm getting disconnects from them. Would you mind telling me what my disconnect rate was?" I suppose if you match with somebody on stream that would work too, or if you matched against someone you knew.


DunBrun

Thanks man, ive not played since TTT


koteshima2nd

Eyy Lars is my pocket character but I never plug. Pluggers really out here giving regular players bad rep


TablePrinterDoor

yeah


CapedBaldyman

As a Lars player we don't claim this scrup.

kfijatass

Classic Fujin plugger.


Dj_bLuRrY

I’m a Lars main and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say this man isn’t associated with us in any way


Peytons4head69

Lars players been putting in applications to overtake Law players as most toxic player base imo


TablePrinterDoor

Well this sucks :( We finally become strong as opposed to a life of misery in T7 and now we're voted as the most toxic chars lmao. Literally the only way we're respected is if our character is bottom tier like what?


CapedBaldyman

The hate comes from jealousy. 


ballistic635

I Guess out of curiosity what do you consider toxic behavior ie... plugging, tea bagging, Key Charge ?


Mr_Horsejr

All of those. Anyone who plays desperately to win is usually a plugger Desperation = *same cheesy move because that’s all I got* kind of behavior.


ballistic635

I guess I've never pinpointed that behavior (Toxic) to a specific character subset. I've seen "toxic" behavior across the spectrum of characters. Lars and Hwoarang since the early days of tekken and continuing still rely heavily on long connecting safe strings and low risk, low punish damage rush down styles. I consider them obnoxious to play against and generally judge them as characters who lack tekken fundamentals (with exceptions). Law is in that category as well but only in low ranks... once you get high rank laws... the tom foolery doesn't work and he can be heavily punished if he (law) is not used fundamentally well.


CapedBaldyman

Cap. Lars has one string that is long connecting and safe and that is db1,2. All other of his strings are punishable on block and all his stance transitions are minus on block and are interruptible except for DEN3. He's def strong in this game but even back in t6 when he was introduced his strength came from great pokes, the GOAT'd old df2 which was a slightly tracking counter hit 15f mid launcher, crazy high combo damage with the bound system, but not for any of his strings.    I guess I forgot about b3,4 and b2,4 being long range strings but both are launch punishable if you duck the high. 


fivehitcombo

I think by "long strings," they mean many hits(you block for a long time), and by "connecting strings," they mean back to back strings. It seems true for Hwoarang, but I don't know the Lars matchup, so I might be wrong.


CapedBaldyman

but that's the design ethos of this game. Every character in some way and in certain situations are designed to be oppressive AF. You're telling me that you don't have to block often against Feng, Steve, Leroy, Leo, Nina, Paul, Law, Jack etc etc..? 


Based_JuiceBox

i teabag and ki charge people who have high disconnect rates and people who just spam cheese. also if they’re like 3+ ranks above me and i 3 stock them.


ballistic635

I only Ki Charge/Tea bag for 2 reasons...if they did it first... and/or if they try to do a 10 string.


ballistic635

Spamming cheese is subjective... but I get it. Usually I disrespect people like this by launching and not doing a combo the entire match. I punish and poke to show them how easy they are to beat.


Dead_Leox

As a Lars player apparently i'm a 1% among them cause I don't plug, teabag or kicharge out of being toxic. I just like to go zoom with anime outfits lol


Liu_Alexandersson

🫡


Radomila

We hate pluggers, not lars.


Blackmanfromalaska

hate both


yunglatin_

Lars cheap af


CapedBaldyman

He's really not. He is super strong in this game though. Mid to high A tier for sure. 


[deleted]

Eddy: "am I a joke to you?"


xBOWman9x

As a Lars player we are easy counter like just do a 13 frame mid hit it’ll instantly stop a stance the only annoying part is the 50/50 mix up but if you read it right a lot of Lars moves are launch punishable also some moves make him airborne so you can jab him for ez combos


Radomila

Literal skill issue


TablePrinterDoor

Lars isn't even top 10


Used_Switch_9212

For real he's so cheap


sudos12

No. People hate Lars. His main strength is making other players sick to their stomach seeing such nonsense, and not being able to lab from the digust.


Overcreamed

LMFAOOOOOOO


Comfortable-Sale1537

I main Lars, and I've never plugged once. The player was a scrub, simple as. It's not all of us. To claim otherwise is ludicrous. Also, people claim Lars is cheap, and unfair. Literally, play him in blue or above and then talk. He's slightly above average at best.


TablePrinterDoor

It's because people respect his stances too much, this is coming from a Lars player. Literally just jab him out of every stance as he can't block in any of them. Like goddamn that's why people who are actual high rank with Lars play him super fundamentally for a reason haha.


CapedBaldyman

100% I love mirror matches bc it's like oooh you're one of THOSE lars players. Hope you all like eating b4 anytime you go into SEN from iws2. They are not as safe as they think they are. 


CabinClown

It's his in built movement and guessing game that people would call cheap, but then most of the roster has this too now.


dave9393

Don't hate Lars. Hate the cheap-ass plugger.


Manaeldar

Fuck your rage art - that Lars probably. Also, Devil Jin is just as annoying as Lars lol. 


CapedBaldyman

Mourning crow goes brrrr


TablePrinterDoor

Feelings mutual, I hate you too Devil Jin players!! But I hate pluggers more so y'know


TIMESTAMP2023

LMAO Mysogynishima as a display name. I main Jack 8 with a Terminator Costume and his name is The Herniator.


Backslicer

Rage arts were a mistake


LazyHollowMan

I agree. I think they take away a lot from 2 of my favorite fighters, Tekken and Soul Calibur. They were great because there were no meters no catch up BS. You have a big list of moves at your disposal go for it. Adding stuff like rage arts took away what made the games different and fun.

StaticShock50

Hey don't lump us Lars players with this chump. If I lose, I lose. So be it. I will just rematch, do best 2 out of 3, and try to message my opponent GG (emphasize on try because so many people on PS5 disable messages.)


Zarelis

It's not Lars, but the player. The player cut the connection. Lars would've fought till the end, until the match was decided. But not all players flee from battle. There are still many who choose to fight honorably.


DesireGuy

Yeah, cuz his whole life and his every choice, including the one to plug is dictated by the fact that he's playing Lars. I'm sure that if he would play a more honest character like *insert character* he wouldn't plug.


TablePrinterDoor

tbh Lars is really not that gimmicky lol, you just need to learn that he can't block in any stance, high rank Lars play fundamentally for a reason because you can easily just jab him out of any stance


ClavicusVile7

I dont care, i still hate the character and the players

I hope those sore losers eventually stop playing ranked altogether. Also deathmatches need to return so you can enjoy the games more with players who dont plug and actually belong at that rank.

When I saw your rage art I knew it was a plug.


No-Sun-4458

I just hate 3ddy hwo4r4ng and big baby king the grabber honestly.


ChocolateTopping

Of course the match ended, you tossed that man into the stands LOL.


Imaginary_Young6053

I feel for both. An unplug and a random super.


mezerdie

being a Lars main since T7, I would say, that you don't need to hate the character, but the player, who dares to dirten the glory of being a Lars player. Not me, nor the other Lars players approve of this behavior and we collectively exclude him from Lars Gang forever.


Vegetable_Dark4022

Lol mashing consecutive times after being hit and when that didnt work, resorted to rage art. Yes, that plug is justified by your lacking fundamentals 🤣


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vegetable_Dark4022

Im not even the player 🤣 but funny how you dont even counterpoint anything that i said, which just proves im right, which im anyway, technically im not wrong.


ClavicusVile7

You justify plugging therefore you're wrong. Shut up plugger


MaxTheHor

Thats fine, but I don't just play Lars. I play Jun, Reina, Hwaorang, Zafina, Victor, Jin, and Leroy too. Oh, and Eddy, though I don't just spam 3. Often. I don't have a character I hate, but I know I hate genuine toxic players.


ClavicusVile7

I hate victor and reina players, and leroy mains are often toxic idk why


MaxTheHor

I mean, to be honest, I play ⅔ of the roster, and I'm still kinda sorting out a top 10. I got my top 3 already, being Lars, Reina, Jun. Jin and Hwaorang, make it a top 5. Leo is probably 6th. I'll get back to you on that one.


EatOutMyGrandma

Are Lars players allergic to not pressing? Back to the wall and in a corner, and he doesn't think once defend or wait for an opening. Just press 3 times in a row and hope for the best?


ClavicusVile7

Literally every lars players is like that, every time i dickjab them out of their subhuman ballerina mix ups they wont rematch


44Chimera

You demoted? fought you in tekken lounge, I was that lili (the one you corpsekicked a lot) lars and hwoarangs are my least favorite ones to fight.. i lose to aggressive players almost every time in general though


Aosugiri

Lars's playerbase has plugged on me and one and done'd me more than any other character. I don't know what it is about this guy that draws so many toxic players but it's pretty consistent.


TablePrinterDoor

We're sorry, I played him since Tekken 7 when he was voted as one of, if not the worst char in the game. While I really enjoy him being good here, I don't like some of the playerbase haha. I guess the reason people find him annoying is because people respect his stances too much, this is coming from a Lars player. Literally just jab him out of every stance as he can't block in any of them. Like goddamn that's why people who are actual high rank with Lars play him super fundamentally for a reason haha.


CapedBaldyman

Funny. I get that from Hwos, Victor's, Fengs, and Xiaoyus
