That’s the deal with anything on the Internet. I&T Today: Do you have problems with trolling online? How do you deal with that?ĭJ: You just put a sub up. That way you’re just that much ahead when he gets back on his feet. Once you get them in the air and you juggle them, you want to maximize that damage. A guy gave a tutorial: “When is a person most vulnerable in Tekken 7,”… or in Tekken in general. Just because it’s always about distracting and moving, moving the screen away from your opponent – and then hit an assist where you don’t know what Magneto’s going to do or Doctor Doom’s going to do down there.Īnd, even with Tekken 7, I was watching a video on that because I wanted to get better. When did you first become aware of this deeper level of play?ĭJ: I’d probably say Street Fighter V brought that. There’s such a barrier to entry to those games for casuals now. I&T Today: We’ve been playing a lot of Tekken 7. In that respect, I would say it is a sport – just a different type of sport. I would say, when it comes to fighting game – like EVO, or Battleground, H1Z1 – you’re always trying to put yourself in a better position above your opponent. I was watching the 2017 EVO Championship against Tokido and Punk, and those guys are not athletic…īut the brain, and the control, and the distance, and the hand-eye coordination, and making reactions to your opponent, and making sure you don’t drop combos and that you punish your opponent…It’s a whole different ballgame, you know? It’s like saying chess isn’t a sport. So I can see how some athletes don’t look at this as sport athleticism. I mean, these guys aren’t breaking a sweat, and their heart rates aren’t getting elevated to, you know, over 100 to 155 beats per minute. As someone with a foot in both worlds, what do you think?ĭemetrious Johnson: It’s definitely a different thing.
