    Again, Tekken had to evolve, and Namco took some risks (something that NRS has not done since Mortal Kombat X) with the heat system, chip damage, overhauled throws, etc. They did a very good job, in my opinion. I believe that TYM will have its own "more positive" podcast in which the hosts...

    Are you implying that every fighting game plays similar because of chip damage and super meter? Tekken 8 plays nothing like Street Fighter 6. Tekken 8 plays like Tekken. Focus on the function of the gameplay mechanic, not on a graphical representation of said gameplay mechanic. Besides, as...

    Water beam charge cancel to low block is also (finally) fixed. You can block low instantly now.

    Mortal Kombat 1 Patch Notes (4/16/2024)

    50/50 in my opinion. Some nice buffs for Rain and Reptile. Too many nerfs for Peacemaker and Raiden, particularly Raiden. Typical NRS patch. Nothing special.

    Tekken 8 Post-Release Discussion Thread

    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...

    Tekken 8 Post-Release Discussion Thread

    Yet spamming counter-hit launchers gave players less value for more effort in Tekken 7? Speaking of which, Tekken 7 did not goad you into playing a certain way? I enjoyed Tekken 7 for its defensive options and I currently enjoy Tekken 8 for its aggressiveness. However, the Tekken community is...

    Tekken 8 Post-Release Discussion Thread

    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. The honeymoon phase for Tekken 8 is definitely over. LOL. I do not understand the hysteria, though. I prefer Tekken 8 over Tekken 7, but some players...

    Transferring TYM Ownership to Mr Aquaman.

    That statement is all I wanted to hear. Administrators should not be policing opinions and deleting threads. A couple of Mortal Kombat websites have had this issue in the past. None of them exist any longer.

    Transferring TYM Ownership to Mr Aquaman.

    So, your plan involves policing people's opinions?

    Tekken 8 Post-Release Discussion Thread

    Well, given Arslan Ash's most recent tournament result in Saudi Arabia, the FGC may be waiting on his big W for a while. He has unfairly been trashing this game.

    Transferring TYM Ownership to Mr Aquaman.

    Welcome back! But do not create any threads that talk negatively about the game! They could be deleted. Will Mr. Aquaman comtinue this policy?

    There is nothing "agree to disagree" on. This topic is objective and straightforward. Per character, there are 100+ moves, which includes properties such as hit range (i.e., high, mid, special mid, or low), frame data (i.e., on block, on hit, on counter hit, or in heat), tracking (i.e., side...

    From what I have watched, Ninja Killa and Sonic Fox are legitimately good at Tekken 8. They play the game at a level that almost no NRS players will ever be able to play. The issue is that the competition is far superior in Tekken 8 in contrast to the walk in the park that they are used to in...

    Tekken 8 is being designed around "Aggression" and much less "Footsies"

    Imagine playing Tekken 8 and only winning with heat, power crushes, and throws. However, if so, perhaps I could beat a player like Arslan Ash. LOL. This tweet is almost as bad as MenaRD calling Street Fighter 6 scrubby a while ago.

    I am fully aware, and I am trying to be as empathetic as possible for someone who spent $120 on this game. LOL. However, how is the infrastructure at a company the customers' fault? Or even their concern? Capcom and Namco have set high standards with Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8...

    You and I have talked on Facebook before, which I rarely use nowadays. I have no new "clique". I talk to the same people whom I have always talked to. If you have to take medications because of video games, you obviously have larger issues to address in your life. I remain a friend, not a...

    I have been respectful and disrespectful over the years. LOL. The reality is that nothing has changed at WB and NRS. People have been complaining about the lack of communication, depth, and long-term support for the games and their respective tournament scenes for years. Irrespective of whom...
