How Rangchu Did The Impossible With One of Tekken's Worst Characters

  • What makes someone risk it all for the game they love?
    Why would someone play a character everyone has written off, when they’re trying to become the best player in the world?
    And what would compel that person to travel the world, grinding the toughest fighting game out there? All for a $7,500 Grand Prize.
    Tekken is the most exciting fighting game in the world right now. And for Rangchu, the kid who did all that, it’s his life.

      I love the sentiment but the more accurate thing would be less "Panda is actually good" and more "Rangchu had the skills and experience to win despite using an overall worse tool due in part to the situational advantage".
      Because in a competitive game, people play to win so the best tools are going to be used more often. Generally speaking, if a tool or strat is considered a gimmick or low tier, then there is likely a reason why it's considered a gimmick or low tier. Perhaps it is inconsistent or unreliable, or requires the opponent be unaware or is very situational or has terrible odds of winning. If the option was actually or secretly good the whole time, then people would use it and it wouldn't be considered a gimmick or low tier.
      In the case of Rangchu and Panda, Panda does have some serious weaknesses that keep her low tier compared to top tiers like Devil Jin. An important aspect to consider is that because of the meta, it's very possible most players trained and practised against top tier picks like Devil Jin and therefore were more familiar against him. While since Panda was rare, few players had experience against her. Rangchu therefore had the experience and practise in fighting top tiers like Devil Jin while they didn't have the same experience against Panda.
      So yeah, mad respect to Rangchu for his skill and knowledge of the meta.

      Sometimes people down play those characters because of the handicap they present is not viable, like panda, who has a longer range but it is slow, compare to Jack, that has a similar range and it is faster, the clear option is there, what this guy did was use those handicaps and made then into its core mechanics, much more dangerous than not knowing what your opponent is like

    There are several similar stories like this in all over esports
    One of the most memorable thing for me... I don't know anything about Pokemon VGC but in 2014, social media is flooded by Pachirisu hype, which brought by the legendary trainer, Park Se Jun
    I hope one day you could do a coverage over his achievement

      I think it gives us all hope when someone who’s not “the chosen one” becomes chosen. And anyone who wins with low tiers is very interesting to me - someone who’s been a big fan of physical sports my whole life. I absolutely love when someone is less strong/less experienced and finds some mental way to win. That’s what esports and something like football/soccer have in common... there’s a lot going on mentally that we can’t see. The more you watch, the more you can pick up.
      Hungrybox is honestly the reason I got into esports... and I actually got into smash too, after never giving it the time of day (grew up in the melee days and it was too elitist for me). Not that hungrybox is my favorite, but learning of his story made me really wanna see something like that happen in real life. Same reason I like watching a good football/soccer match of two teams I don’t follow. Ajax FC just pulled two major underdog victories in the champions league, for example. Not a huge fan of Dutch football or anything, but... something very satisfying about them beating both Real Madrid and the team with the most dangerous tournament player (Ronaldo), Juventus.

      If you want undergdog check Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua.
      Its is the biggest upset in heavyweight boxing since Tyson losed against Douglas
      In one cornerwe have a undefeated giant of muscle, world champion of 3 diferent cathegorys, he has strenght, he has speed, he won a Gold medal in the olympics.
      In the other you have a short fat boxer with one defeat in his record that even when he was in the olympics he couldn´t win.
      Everyone tought that it was gonna be easy, it was only a warm up fight to Joshua until his fight against the other heavyweight champion Wilder was negotiated.The odds where 21-1 in Joshua´s favor.
      The first 2 rounds where as expected but Andy was doing a better fight that most people tought, in the third round Joshua was able to drop Andy in the floor.
      Everyone tought that it was over ,even when they saw Andy getting up everyone tought that the rest of the fight was a mere formality,Joshua also tought that so he went close to Andy to finish the fight, but he forgot one thing, a thing that its wildy know in any combat sport.
      Be careful when you have a mexican corned
      I don´t know if is the food, most likely the culture but a lot of mexican fighters fight harder after a down or at disadvantage.When Joshua step close to Ruiz, Ruiz didn´t back up and went straight into a brawl dropping Joshua to the floor.And again in the same round.
      The fight changed in Andy´s favor since that round but he didn´t get careless he piled the preassure slowly until the seventh round when Joshua was totally spent and ko the biggest Draw in boxing right now.
      It was amazing

    I think that one of the things that gave him some adventage is that most pro players were used to play against the main characters. They werent totally ready for fights against such a weird character, panda's moves seem kind of slow and that could sneak throught opponents blocking reaction timing. Panda's moves are less ortodox than what theyre used to fight against.

      It could be- if it weren't for King and his dedicated player as well as some other slow hitters that are more 'mainstream'. Panda Express mowed their asses down out of the blue.

    In Tekken as far as what I can see it's not just about which characters are stronger but it's also about what that characters have and how we control the characters ...
