Dark Souls PvP, what is it good for?
Playing Tekken after Dark Souls made me realize that I have forgotten how OG DkS PvP. There is a good reason (and dem veterans will confirm it) for DkS being a party game (pls don't kill me) for SF crowd... because it was sort of a baby fighting game, that took part of fundamentals and added some unique shenanigans on top of it.
So if you're an OG DkS veteran like me, you have a really good understanding the basics - which is strangely, something that most Tekken players don't have.
People in Tekken community often go crazy, trying to crack the secret behind Korean dominance - but its very simple, any good player, when pushed to the wall responds to it with the most simple and effective solution... and in case of Tekken, just like it is the case with any fighting game - it is zoning & whiff punishment. This is what those Korean guys do, instead breaking their setups or looking for a move that their character can do to counter the 'problem' they just back off and bait.
So my point is, as much as people think DkS PvP is a 'meme', it actually does better job explaining those basics compared to Tekken. Most Tekken newcomers get obsessed with all those fancy mechanics (unnecessary shit that doesn't work against anyone good) so much they don't even realize how compact the game is.
Now obviously fun is a subjective thing, some people like to play in setups, some people like to do 'hard reads' that can make things look silly from your POV, but... if you are a DkS veteran coming to Tekken - learn the gimmicks, but stick to the basics - you will be very, VERY, successful.
