      Arguably true but you used to be able to play defensively, wait for you opponent to frick up, then punish them. Now the game rewards you for spamming attacks

      Esports players know nothing about how to make or balance a game. They often have the worst takes because they only argue in favor of themselves. If they lose to a character over and over then that character is "busted" even if that isn't even true.

        This. I feel this way when people cry about Lili, she has the absolute WORST frame data in the game. Yet people are throwing her in A/S tier with someone like Victor and Azucena.

        Then when those same people actually PLAY Lili they get washed up fricking instantly. PhiDX tried and fricking struggled with her. It was hard to watch.

        • 2 weeks ago
          Anonymous

          frame data doesn't tell the entire story and never has, you need to take into account tons of other factors like speed/range/damage/pushback/followups/the move having a really subtle bullshit animation and the general mechanics of the game in order to know if a move is actually good or not, just going "bro she's -2 just react immediately and press you'll win" is a big midwit trap

          • 2 weeks ago
            Anonymous

            This would be a good take in Street Fighter ir literally ANY other game. Tekken gives EVERYONE the SAME tools. Majority of Lili's kit is shut down by a simple jab. She same 11f jab that every character has the exact same framedata for. 99% of her strings leave her open to a jab. On top if that she has the WORST low launch with her db4. It is EXTREMELY slow and her animation literally tells you "BLOCK LOW NOW", it is slower and more readable than ANY other low launcher. Her Matador is also slow and launch punishable.

            Again, people have this foolish idea of character balancing until they actually play the character. Watch PhiDX play her vs when he cries about her on his tier list.

          Honestly? I'd rather have a game that rewards defense than a game that punishes defense and encourages mashing or spam.

          In T7 you know WHY you lost. You know that you pressed a button when you should have blocked. You know that next set if you see the same setup you can either block or sidestep and punish. In Tekken 8 you block, you lose. You sidestep a dash 3 4? You lose because either it tracks you up to 180° or she flies to the other side of the map. You now have to enter a cheatcode to counter a move that people literally press 2 buttons to input.

            Nope, it's basically the only reason to buy the game. It's the second best selling game in the series, and the best selling is SCIV, the most sexualized entry in the entire series. It also had the shittiest gameplay in the series which kind of proves the point that the coom was carrying it hard.
            >doa6
            It's the opposite, the entire lead up to release was the devs talking about how they want it to be a more serious fighter, characters like Kasumi wearing more clothes in default outfit with shrunken breasts, etc. They eventually reversed course, but by then it was way too late. It's the only DOA besides the first I never bought because of that.

    Raging Arts and Heat just feel so wrong in Tekken. It's like Harada decided to put 2D mechanics in Tekken just because he thought it was cool. No need to remind anyone that Akuma was overpowered and cancer incarnated in Tekken 7 and no one liked him. Fricking hell the Heat Engager is almost a DP. Why the frick is this game trying to be so much a 2D fighter instead of abusing its 3D strengths? Tekken 8 also added infinite amounts of tracking moves so you can't sidestep... What's the point then?

    Current fighting games are all about viewership over gameplay so they make it a rushdown shitfest. See Drive Rush.

      hold this 4-5 frame overhead that loops into itself/sweep butthole. when I get bored of this I'll play galford or something and spend the entire round locking you down.

      samsho being two guys standing at fullscreen for 30 seconds and then someone dies to a single heavy slash is a fantasy

    Tekken 8 is designed like every nu fighting game now. Basically system mechanics are insanely powerful and character kit individually suck balls as a result. Because of that games are very one dimensional because kits are toned down and individual characters can now abuse very powerful system mechanics. Ones that kits synergize well with those systems ofcourse become top tiers. This on top of movement being insanely dumbed down makes games play very samey. Why give players a lot of different options when they can design one dimensional strong system mechanics. This is just another design layer when it comes to dumbing down shit and its funny how FGC homosexuals finally realized that. Make character options streamlined while system mechanics become very strong in one dimensional way so casuals will grasp those faster.

        I just mean they nuked movement again and had a moronic focus on generic "aggression" at every level

          I wonder if there was ever a chance they'd bring back pre round movement

    tekken got way too popular for its own good in T7. It was never meant to be a top 3 game

    I enjoyed T7 a lot, the only Tekken games I think are competitive worthy is 3 and 5DR
