I really just want to say FUCK LARS!!!!!

When I heard they nerfed his df2 I thought YES finally an end to this horrible player that is Lars. Is he still foul to play against? I know they buffed his db4 but don't actually know how he is in t7 as a whole. I remember being in the zaibastu forums reading the Lars threads and everyone cried about his df2 and the down playing was absolutely MAJESTIC

Someone like Devil Jin, who when he's got a frame adv on you it's almost impossible to read his movements or know what's coming, feels like overall side step Nerf is a back hand buff for him. He has one of the best stepping attacks in the game that makes any none tracking move whiff (even some tracking moves whiff actually making me incredibly salty last night) and juggles you for 45% midscreen in a game where side step is nerfed. His dash mixups need no explanation. Etc. Then you have characters like Gigas, who are as linear as FFXIII.

Might have to pick one of these types up soon who can move a lot better than others. I can picture a lot of older players going towards characters with better movement. I might, dare I say, pick up Ling and Jin for a trial run. -.-


Let's be realistic, I'll never play Jin after my T4 experiences.

One of the best things about Tekken 7 is that Lars is in his worst form to date. He's not trash or anything, but for sure is not anything amazing anymore.

Haha.

I'll accept it the next time I turn on that console... Probably the 18th I think is the next SFV beta. :)

Ahh yeah I thought you were talking about t7 Lars, he is just all round disgusting. He literally has the the most obnoxious move list. Those quick high low strings, the massive natural combo low, the orbital, the back sway, the df2 that shatters souls, and the holy grail lightning screw. Bruces B2 WHIFFS trying to punish this. It somehow knocks him off axis and the B2 goes right beside him. Miguels df21 also whiffs. He's also swedish but speaks japanese and people compare this atrocity to goku...

Am I bitter? Not at all

Am I lying? Yes


Edit: I have seen the Korean player low high on a few occasions playing Lars, doing the orbital and going straight into lightning screw afterwards, and its always hit regardless being at -9, it has completely stumped the reply. Let this be a testament to how unholy this move is

Has the kbd been nerfed? And if that's the case how is gigas' movement? He was supposed to be marduks replacement and he was a big character but had one of the best backdashes to kind of counter balance it, does gigas have that going on too?

He is been top ever since T5, i think the only tekken where he isn't top is T6, stupid ridiculous, i might actually learn him for real this time on, since he is basically T3 Jin evolution, why the fuck not?

That sentence had me dying lol

I over'read somewhere we're possibly getting 16 more character until console release, is this true? If so

My #ApacheBitch and My #NinjaBitch better be in it, i can't see T7 without a Chang honestly, i need my female Akira, watched the TTT2 global stats and Kuni was the 10th most used character in TTT2 on the event scrubs pool, hope she makes it too.

I heard that too, they are also due to introduce another game mechanic to the game, wonder what it could be?

Have you seen the bnb knee does with DJ? Using that roundhouse straight away into the screw, does a ton of damage and his wall carry is also amazing. Also gets a combo off of hell sweep

16 sounds insane but the roster is missing a lot of main types: No Williams, no Changs, no Capos, no animals, no ninjas, no hope..
Fuckin.ASS.

I'll make sure that's the last thing all my victims see in SFV. At least they can die peacefully. :DOGE

Gigas is an insult to Marduk. Character is ass. Based on pure gimmicks, unsafe on breathing let alone attacking, all or nothing type of character. When you look at the onslaught of tools the roster has, even the "weaker" so to say characters, he's just severely outclassed. There were a couple of people using him a month ago, now no one uses him. Not one person lol.

Yea DJ is literally Top 5 every single game except one haha. He's been one of the few characters that I never got around to really playing. Since I have so much time ahead before release (lol) I might learn him this time around. The only Mishima I've ever excelled with was Heihachi who was one of my top characters in TTT2 and Kazuya somewhat in T5 DR.

16 more? I hope so!!! I heard about 8-9 more. Last I read was that they were aiming for a 35-36 character roster and there's 27 so far. I can ou assume Nina is in which would make 7-8 left. I've got most of my main characters outside of the ones that are "dead or replaced" except Julia. Any time I hear character discussion I look to see if Julia is coming soon lol. Kuni was a super cool character and very unique. She needs to make it in. She was very fun to play as well.

I keep feeling torn between sentiments of hopeful nostalgia and general disinterest about Tekken 7.

When I think about playing, I think about all of the most fun parts through the years. But when I actually DO play, I realize I'm just playing the same game that I've been playing for a decade, and start feeling bored very quickly. Like someone said (Salt?) a few pages back, there is nothing inherently interesting about mastering* a character again in half a day because they're the same character you've been playing for ages.


*I use "mastering" to mean "achieving my maximum personal potential." I've gotten too old and too busy to dedicate the kind of time it takes to be truly competitive anymore. I'm a long ways from my college days. Still, it means there is no fun discovery period really left there anymore for anyone who has played this series before. =\

I played past tekkens but ttt2 was the first I learnt to really play and so I haven't personally reached that stage yet, tekken isn't a game that seems to follow trends and it's only taken them now to actually give characters a sf super style move and armor moves, now that you say it, I actually reckon the next mechanic will be some sort of combo breaker, it's the only thing it doesnt have and they're due to add another mechanic, that might shake things up a bit but still, it'll still be tekken xD maybe one of the new characters might spark some interest

Hope is not a combo breaker.

Nope, but from what you're describing i can see see how damage it can be.

Yeah I feel the same too, I played ttt2 yesterday and I missed just being able to do my combos without it being broken, it's not like mkx where everything in a sense is a launch. I don't think a combo breaker is needed in my opinion. I hope they add the tekken ball mode, that was so wasted on wii!
