yeah but without damage its just a reset to neutral that would still be launch punishable. If I burn my Heat for a Heat-dash into a guaranteed 50/50 to close out a round and they Rage with my changes I wouldn't care. Fair enough, we both used up a resource and are back to neutral. The way it is now I DIE lol.
Yeah. I would like if they were once per match. But that may be an extreme change.
I swear I thought in T7 you could jab and if they Rage you would be able to block in time to punish. Am I thinking of an alternate universe or was that the case before? If it was like that I wouldn't mind it as much because you could at least bait it better.
Not sure. I played Tekken 7 for all of 30 minutes in training mode.
My Rage baiting special is when far away just randomly sprint at them full speed and then stop. Has a 70% success rate at baiting the Rage the first time seen.
I deleted Tekken 7, so I cannot test the startup of rage arts, but I would not be surprised if they were slightly faster in Tekken 8.
Yea same, it's like a run away train now. I get all the Battle Pass hate or not liking the random bugs, but the game is still really good. And I actually like Heat as it adds a cool new element to use offensively or defensively. The best new feature they've made in a long time. Like any game adjustments can be made and they already said the big balance patch is 1.04 coming soon so there's a lot of overreacting right now.
I would say this is a bit of a straw man. It’s not that the game is different, it’s that the game gives players much more value for less effort. The game also blatantly goads you into playing a certain way. So if you’re not an aggressive player, tough luck
Yet spamming counter-hit launchers gave players less value for more effort in Tekken 7?
no , it didnt. you could play it offensive or defensive on all levels and could "succeed". now with heat, its mixup potential, armored heat engager, strange tracking on said heat engagers everyone becomes a rushdown charackter at for at least the duration of heat.
you could and now in t8 you can try..with some luck it might not hit you but its very inconsistend and especially online you get hit all the time by the rageart when you try to bait it with a simple 1...
This. Unless the jab is already out, you are not blocking the RA in time.
You can play any Tekken game defensively or offensively. The question is, which gameplay style has generally been stronger in previous Tekken games? This question has an incredibly easy answer, yet the irony is that many of the most broken characters in Tekken history do not even have the best offensive tools in their respective games. For example, Tekken 4 Steve barely has any low attacks that players nowadays are familiar with. However, Tekken 4 lacks the "crush system" (i.e., a generic d+4 does not beat a jab) while any attack that cancels into Flicker has no recovery frames on whiff. Can you imagine how broken quick hook (modern b+1~b but d+1~b in Tekken 4) is? The character is essentially unapproachable. The defensive on 1,2,1~b and quick hook is godly. Tekken Tag 1 Heihachi, who has a special mid-hitting EWGF, is broken defensively for similar reasons. I could name various other examples. Obviously, Tekken 7's defense is not on the same terms as Tekken Tag 1's or Tekken 4's, but high level players generally agree that the game's meta revolves around movement, counter hits, and low parries.
Seems stronger is very deemphasized...
It's a great game, but then again, corporate shit and untested changes it's what gives this sour taste in our mouth.
I'm just not really enjoying playing kaz at the moment. He needs some issues fixed.
