Nothing like stepping Kazuya left only to be smacked in the face by a new tracking move to stop your from stepping :russ:

Uninstalled

I’ll be back if these nikkaz ever come to their senses

For them to not be able to fix an unblockable bug for weeks is trash - then who knows how long it will take for them to PROPERLY balance this yee yee ass shyt

I like Lili's new heat smash. It can catch nikkas coming in low really well. Matter fact a few times today it caught me off guard on how it landed. It's very Jarring lol.

There are weird changes too, like Xiaoyu has a move in Phoenix that is F12 that is a great end to a combo, now it does F1,2 which is a great low string but it fukked up a ton of combos and there is no logical reason why it drops half the time...that shyt is wired into my muscle memory, I am not missing the input.

This shyt is so fukked up up and frustrating last night I went back to diablo IV and beat the campaign completely overpowered :dead:

Might go back to fukkin SF6 and I said I wouldn't until Balrog or Sagat got added :unimpressed:

shyt is just not fun period

Back to their senses

:mjlol:

This game is cooked and I'll tell you why, TTT2.

Murray and Harada hated that the game wasn't supported by fans. They've talked constantly about how what pro players want (TTT2) was never supported with their dollars.

I wonder why that was. Oh yeah, they never marketed it properly.

That generation I saw tv commercials for Mortal Kombat, MVC3, Soul Calibur 4 and Street Fighter 4 (all iterations) dominate the airwaves. Tekken? Not a blip. Didn't even see any promo for Blood Vengeance.

:dead:

They couldn't adapt. Look at the live action Tekken movies. From 6 onward it has been blunder after blunder. People are already moving back to Tekken 7

:russ:

It's starting to sink in how bad this patched fukked things up. Everybody does more damage but they've fukked up everyone's tools.

Like I said, Zafina's 3-hit Bloody Saif is ruined thanks to that new Calamity bullshyt and I REFUSE to go back to 6 status where it was only 2 hits. I know I'm not doing the combo wrong because I've been juggling 6, 7, and Tag 2 before season 2 dropped and I can do it consistently in all of those games.

On the bright side, Anna seems fun from the little bit I've played but we'll see :francis:

Not gonna drop the game yet but I'm definitely gonna have to drop my main :snoop:

Tag 2 wasn't loved by pro players iirc

Damage in that game was off the charts before rage even sets in

Tekken's marketing and relevance was fukked up from 6 on, agreed. 6 had a good arcade run but online was ass. I didn't bother with Tag 2 or 7 at all. And I was a Tekken 1 era person who never stopped playing fighting games. 8 brought me back but I think I'm about to be out unless this gets cleaned up or Lei comes back.

I've given KOF/FF and Tekken post 5 so many chances, and honestly HOPE something gives me the feeling I had when SFIV dropped. Nothing really has. Not fighterZ, not Tekken 6, not t8, kofXIII and XV were fukking garbage, IDGAF...

Maybe I'll just wait until Fighting Collection 2 for CvS2

More so the defensive options, expansion of identity and sidestepping. The touch you lose damage and oki were standard for that spinoff.

What really changed Tekken 7's direction is that it finally became watchable at tournaments. You can ask people in here who was in the evo grand finals for Tekken 6 and they wouldn't know. SF4 and MVC3 had that on lock. The DLC announcements were something to look forward to and had trending momentum. Now...

Most hype Tekken got during that era was SFxTekken before it came out and gameplay was revealed.

Yeah I forgot how bad that online was. Tag 2 wasn't a big improvement, but they are slowly improving their infrastructure. Bandai in general has horrible netplay.

DOA is dead in the water too.

The direction of fighting games have changed drastically. I'm surprised characters still have a massive move list.

CvS2 will be day one for sure.
