Nor have I ever really been built for it. I was simply passionate and competitive for a time. Wanting to prove that I could get good at one of the hardest games on the market. I realize now that losing wasn't my main source of frustration with this game throughout the years. It is the incredible amount of unpredictability. There was nothing more frustrating to me. Than practicing every day nearly. For hours, training. Only for it to seem like its amounting to nothing.

Tekken's margin for error becomes very very small when you get into higher ranks. The amount of knowledge that you must possess for your own character as well as those that you face? It becomes insane.

I don't love Tekken. I love the idea of it. I love the feel of it. But I hate the amount of knowledge that you must acquire to reach a certain level. The climb is fun, but when you reach your ceiling? It becomes absolutely unbearable for me. Breaking past those points becomes harder and harder, and its at the point for me? Where I just...I don't have it in me anymore to push forward. My ultimate goal was Tekken god before tekken 8. But- nahh...

Watched literally hundreds of hours of tekken. Played over a thousand. Prob nearly two thousand- Only made it to Rajin I think. if not that it was definitely Fujin. Can't do it, can't deal with the stress anymore. My respect to tekken players who can reach those super high ranks is through the roof. It is NOT easy whatsoever man.
