No other community would be dooming this hard before full patch notes release or anything was even playable.
Well, as it turns out Phidx, MainMan, Spag, Speedkicks, Knee, Arslan Ash, Chris F, SuperAkouma and more weren’t over reacting when the Tekken Talk basically demonstrated the new move into stance options, and fast mids and buffs to heat.
Weaknesses are not allowed apparently.
This has regrettably been the direction for Tekken for a few games now(some say it’s the introduction of homing properties to moves). Playing against Leroy when he came out in T7 was no fun.
it’s funny because Tekken 7 was back dash focused because side steps would get beaten by all the homing properties on moves. If they buff movement in Tekken 8, it theoretically could recreate the cautious backdash meta of Tekken 7 again, the damage is so explosive off of one touch why risk getting hit at all.
Reina was given a strong low so why would you develop your mind games around not having one.
It makes me respect the character design of Mileena in MK1 more. She has only okay lows, but you can use conditioning and creativity to win.
I’m still gonna play Tekken 8 and hope for the best. I’ve been maining Yoshi since Tekken 7 and his new move and buffs to flea are interesting!
the added recovery frames to flash make it very punishable.
