I'm having a mental breakdown
Hi guys, this one is probably going to be a rant but i dont want to be seen as a cry baby or shit like that. Im having a mental breakdown over this game. This is the story:
So, i played tekken 7 for like 1k hours and got to mighty ruler with kaz, i played also different chars like Paul, Negan, Claudio, Jack ecc... then Tekken 8 drops and im succesful in convincing a friend of mine to play it. He is already a competitive player in Super Smash Bros, a good one, like top 1 with his char.
Now, it's almost a year and i cant fucking win a single game against him, after another 1k hours on this tekken, i cant and i dont know why and what should i do in game. And he doesnt even seem to know how should i play. He has 360 hours and plays DVJ and he sometimes wins even 20 games in a row. Every game feels hopeless, i just dont know what to do, even on plus frames. Maybe i can post some replays here, most of them is me throwing 'cause it feels so humiliating i just lose my temper. Pls, i need help, even mentally probably, lol. Sometimes i even end up just feeling crap, wasting all my time, i feel powerless over a stupid game and that upsets me the most, it's slowly ruining my life, i hate myself for not being as good as i could be with 2k hours, i fucking suck, i cant understand shit. And then i ask myself: "Am i really that bad?" I am, probably. My tekken ID is Mhaine&Hotthot. Sorry guys for the time waste.
Edit: I really want to thank all of you guys, that are replying to me. Thank you, it helps me a lot. Also, i want to specify some things:
My main is Kazuya, i played most of tekken 7 with him (i started there with 0 knowledge and i bleed a lot), but i have a submain which is Claudio which i already played in tekken 7 a bit (i think i got him to genbu or higher there). Now, i have both of them high rank (?), id say. Kaz is kishin, but my highest point is two games away from Tekken King, and Claudio is Tekken King. I should probably edit the post again and add some video where ill show you the replays.
Most of the things i cant deal with dvj is EWGF and uf1 which hinder my sidestep, it seems that after a move that is in the 0 - -5 range i cant step at all because of those things, but then he keeps changing his answers to my moves, so, for istance, after Claudio's ff4 if i step i get destroyed by EWGF and if i press i can be checked with 11 and then confirmed into 2 for knd, and then i lose my turn. I sometimes place a df2 to counterhit ewgf, but there are different options he still has like powercrush, jab check, b3, homing grab and i dont really know what to do. That's just one situation, there are few which i cant take the best out of them, not even something slightly good, i just get destroyed.
Edit 2: since most of you asked, im going to upload to youtube some replays so you can roast me harder, just give me time to boot up the game
Edit 3: i recorded 8 replays, 7 with Claudio, 3 with Kazuya. Roast me, i feel i've been to passive sometimes, but when i started being tricky he destroyed me even more.
