The stomp is unscaled and guaranteed after f+4 in wall combos. This sequence alone does like 40% of damage. While Heihachi did not have the best wall carry, he could dish out 75-80% of damage.
If you are old enough, you will recall that Knee made a name for himself in Tekken 5: DR, the game with "simple and short, low-damaging combos from the past". LOL.
I do agree with you that this patch has introduced some unacceptable bugs and glitches. However, calling the game "basically unplayable" is ludicrous.
Besides, I fail to understand why the year-one Mortal Kombat 1 apologists and defenders have come out of the woodwork.
By your own admission, none of you play Tekken 8, or have not for a while.
Does Namco also not deserve at least a year to fix this patch?
I played Tekken games since Tekken 3, but I never followed the competitive scene of Tekken. That said I know that Knee is a longtime Tekken player. And I also know that your Knee point is mute. Like I said, Tekken had high damage combos and one-touch-kill moves in the past, but not to that insane degree that T8 has now.
And the reason I bring MK1 is because that you and the rest of the MK1 bashers claimed MK1 was buggy and rushed at launch, when I myself found that not only any bug that MK1 was only overexaggerated by you and the rest of them, but T8 and also SF6, even at launch, had even more and bigger bugs at their launch, including SF6 having the input system bug at launch that the SF6 fanboys tried to sweep under the rug to keep the narrative that "SF6 is perfect" going, just like T8 has it now. MK1 never had this bug, or any other bug that was that problematic or higher than that, not at launch and not since then.
And no, T8 doesn't deserve any significant amount of time to fix these bugs, or change the offense-defense balance, let alone a year. Because Bamco have promised their playerbase that they will buff defense and will make the game more balanced towards defense, and yes they did buffed a couple of defensive elements, but not before they also buffed the offense in the game across the board to insane levels that even the most Rushdown-oriented games ever didn't have to the point that these defense buffs didn't matter. So technically they didn't lie about buffing defense, but still lied in that making the game overall more defensive.
Add the fact that T8 had so many other issues at launch, from the bugs that I mentioned earlier, to the quantity, quality and replay value of the single player content, and even missing competitive features like online practice for the first 8 months of the game (and that goes back to MK1, as people claimed MK1 was missing competitive features while T8 also had them missing, and unlike MK1, T8 actually needed them way more), you can't just give Bamco that much time to fix anything. NRS/WB always fixed any decently big issue found in all of their games, including MK1, in about a month at worst. Giving T8 a year while this is year 2 for them is objectively unfair and biased.
And going back to the bugs topic, the MK1 bashers claimed that MK1 had a "player 1 advantage" bug, except it didn't, as it only affected 6 out of the 23 chars at the game's launch roster, only just 1 move from each of them and it really only affected only one combo for each of them. And even out of these 6, only for 3 of them (Sub-Zero, Kitana and Nitara) people actually bothered to show that bug, but the other 3 they didn't even show how the bug affected them. Unlike MK9 that had a true player 1 advantage bug, or MK Armageddon that had a player 2 advantage bug, MK1's case was not even char specific bug, but a move specific bug.
But you know which game does have a true player 1 advantage bug? Tekken 8, and just like the FGC tried to sweep any bugs for SF6 to keep it's narrative going, the FGC did the same for T8 for the first two months of it, but this bug was not only in T8 since launch, but it was in tons of other Tekken games, even since Tekken Tag 1 in fact.
Main Man SWE shows this bug just less than a month after T8's release, and even acknowledges what the MK1 bashers said about MK1 in that same regard. I know that MMS also has his own issues when it comes to trust, but at least in this case he shows true honesty and integrity, something that the MK1 bashers know nothing about.
