Lol no one wants to get blown up for saying she's OP right now. But I don't give a fuck. Blow me up.

The teleport makes her ridiculous.

Like tom said...

"advantage on block, armor, teleport, invincible frames, launcher, top 2 punisher in the game"

That describes one move. That's a bit over the top.

It was 4 days in and mind you I know how to better place teleports now. That said there is little risk in doing one when you see her jump forward or backward.

Oh shit so you were referring to teles and not tele cancels?

Phew, you scared me for a second.

Lol, OFCOURSE Tom wants an "adjustment" made to what makes Tanya unique. Fuck outta here...

Anyway...

I main Tanya (DN) and have fought many matches with her thus far. I'd say she's certainly not overrated and she's certainly not OP.

She has mix ups galore and she is full combo punishable galore. You can go yolo or play conservative/safe. She is somewhat meter dependent yet doesnt seem to struggle building it. She can fuck up oki with teleport and create havoc with her air mobility, yet an experienced player will catch on and blow it up. She has multiple highs, gaps in strings, and punishable specials.

She seems pretty balanced and has a slew of tools. I'd say shes high mid tier.

#10-15

You know... a lot of you are all full of shit. Stay as is or adjusted, not my decision. BUT.. Its funny how when a game is say... you know.. 2 weeks old thus making every character only 2 weeks old, almost none of you here were saying"its only 2 weeks, its too early to say". Nope.. the cries for nerfs and buffs were just as loud as ever and no one who is in here now saying "ehh 2 weeks is a bit to soon" was singing that 2 weeks into the game.

Players like myself who from day 1 said "let all rock because its too early to tell" are blown up for that line of thinking. Yet, the minute people think they find something for them they all of a sudden are on the "yeah.. its too soon" wagon.

She is not a mid tier character. She is most definitely top tier. She has excellent defense and solid zoning.

But most importantly she has something that no other character has in this game - mobility. Yes. Mobility. More specifically, defensive mobility. The game rewards any kind of forward movement yet punishes any kind of backward movement. Using the instant aerial back teleport, Tanya is the only character in the game who has the ability to "run backward" without the game draining the entire stamina meter. Even after using a combo breaker, she is not a sitting duck. This capability along with the superb defensive options enrage rush down fools all over the world because they are no longer able to rely on the "run, knock down, safe 50/50 mix up" meta game, which usually requires little to no effort. So when the typical rush down fool who is illiterate and inarticulate demands that Tanya be normalized in the next patch, defensive options and defensive mobility are what he is complaining about.

Her defensive options seem to be what makes her and those are fine IMO.

This character seems top 10 to me. I feel like we just haven't seen this character used correctly. There will be a player who mains this character and does well with her and wins majors i can almost guarantee it. All i can say is that as a kitana i can't win against this character.

Was getting blown up by one of the Oregon players last week then I started adjusting. She's definitely rough for some characters but theirs plenty you can do about her tele pressure.

Or some of us who WERE saying that exact same thing want the same to apply to Tanya. Shes been out two weeks, less for most people.

For the record I doubt it would hurt her that much if the EX tele was slightly nerfed. She has way dirtier things than that.

She's good. All she does it make half the cast with poor mobility play a one player game. Sure, the top tier can deal with her, but she has too much. There's no weakness that most of the cast can strategize around

I can't hear any argument for her being bottom half of the cast. For me though, anything else is too early to tell.

Remember, people whined the hardest about Sub in the opening weeks. Now that we understand the game a bit better, and know what other characters are a capable of, in hindsight it's a pretty hard sell to say that he was even top 5. As @General M2Dave said, you should know this better than anyone Tom Brady. It's ok for a character to have a really good tool, almost all characters do, if the rest of the character is balanced with this in mind she won't be any stronger than the rest of the cast. Now I'm not saying this is definitely the case with Tanya, she is definitely strong, but can we let her ride for a minute before we start campaigning for nerfs? Just because stupidity happened to Sub doesn't mean we should let the same treatment happen to Tanya

Not true at all. She has plenty to capitalize on.

Any normal string into forward tele is hella punishable by a multitude of things unless I commit to her spiral down kick. That is -1,000 frames so you can punish one or the other. Your choice. People just don't know how to punish her yet.

And online can also make that rough.

She is pretty good and has some very strong tools. Should she be nerfed because she isn't low tier? Should she be nerfed because she is a "multi archetype" character that is tough to figure out? Is she better than the top 5-10 characters?

I think she is over rated but still top 10 discussion

I think she's fucked up, too soon to tell though, but that won't stop the nerfs when the next DLC character comes out

Shes just outside top 5, only Lao and Mileena seem to be hard matchups (both got good lag tactics online) and (both got good mobility) I play pyromancer, till Kitana gets fixed

My only concern is that the forward ex teleport is too much of an all purpose move.

I see where your coming from, however I can't agree in the sense that it's fairly easy to see it coming. Unless your just jump happy I see no reason to be opened up by it. Block and pick a hole.

Or better yet use that GODLIKE Ice burst into a full combo.
