so, did the balance patch changed anything?
>>735160356Yea the guy on the left has now 0.1% less kick damage and the guy the right got 0.1% boost to punch damage. Balanced things all around
>>735160356Made the game worse in pretty much every single way. Just basically made it even easier to rushdown for every character, and even giving heat wallsplats to some
>>735160432wasnt that the complain for the first 2 seasons?
>>735160490Yes, yes it was. This Season 3 was supposed to be the fabled "BACK TO BASICS" patch and instead it made everything even worse.
heat burst still extends combos and counterhits from the side automatically makes your opponent face you hahahaa
>>735160823Back to basics never meant back to Tekken basics, just back to Tekken 8 basics which can never be not shit.
Also Heihachi got a 14 frame +4 spammable mid that forces you to crouch so it's basically a +5
Why are they so adamant on improving offense?I don't understand.
>>735161262Harada is goneTekken is deader than Itagaki
>>735161472the first two seasons had him at the realms, it is not an excuse.
>Tekken 8 comes out>running braindead offence and forcing guesses is incredibly easy>everyone asks for it to be toned down>patch comes out to make offence even better>patch comes out to make offence even better>patch comes out to make offence even better>everyone is begging and pleading for it to be toned down>alright we're making a BACK TO BASICS patch and finally giving you all what you've asked for>patch comes out to make offence even better
>>735161542He was only a mascot ever since T7 and decided nothing
>>735160432>>735161126everyday I'm more and more glad that I never bought this piece of shit game, I've already seen the writing on the wall with T7S3, it never got better since then
>>735160356It's literally season 2 all over again beat for beat
>>735161262Normies mashing and win with mashNamco make noney lots ofTekken mash more mashing more
>>735161807this, it's basically hard as fuck to beat a masher player if you aren't a skilled player yourself. Even then you might get unlucky and still get rekt.
>>735160356Nah it's trash. I've played 1k hours in S1 and then 200h in S2... I'm not gonna bother with the changes from S3. It's useless to invest yourself in Tekken 8.It's basically S2 BUT with a nerf on Heat Dash combos, and Heat Smashes don't wall splat anymore and the rest are buffs for most of the cast with new moves and stance transitions, basically everything that was wrong with S2 is still right here, right now. 9 months for this. Nakatsu is trying to kill the game.
>>735160356So can i get back now to play the game though?
Reina is one of the worst characters in the game once you reach opponents who know you can step ff2 or jab check on block and you can't convince me otherwise.
>SF6 - 72K players today>Kekken8 - sub 10K players todayooof brutal
>>735160823To be fair: DON'T ASK ME FOR SHIT™-man was already one foot out the door (or nearly), so are you really surprised the post-him team is continuing the dogshit that he helped sort of oversee as he looked at folks to "continue the franchise" as he "retired?"
>>735162836SF is hugely popular in Asia and Japan. More accessible to beginners and intermediate.Tekken is too complex and niche. It's impossible to learn nowadays unless you don't have a job or you're a legacy player with already thousands of hours in previous games.
>>735160356Now that T8 is dead, what will take for SF6 fags to start calling out Capcom on their shitty fighting game? Or is Capcom's shill game so strong that the goyim from the streets will never grew an opinion on their slop they are coonsooming?
>>735163584There's also the fact that SF6 is simply a hugely superior game to Tekken 8
>>735163694Nah, I come from 3s, SF 6 roster is garbage right now, and the game mechanics are also pretty fucked as well, less than T8 but still shit. Throw loops, +oB specials, bad balancing and MUs...Don't kid yourself.
>>735160356It's still the same game, barely any universal changes.
>>735163651Capkeks eat literal shit and ask for seconds. You're asking for a pony if you think they'll demand better from Capcom.
>>735160356Back to Street Fighter
>>735160356I've played about 4 matches and I'm tired. Managed to win some rounds, one guy disconnected as he was low on health in the 3rd round and pretty much anyone with a Russian looking name wasn't able to connect.The gameplay? It's pretty much the same, basically people spamming the same combos and I have no idea how defend or interrupt their heat attacks. Oh and there's rage too... Would have probably played a bit more, but I could not bear another Azucena coffee cutscene.I'm wondering what they were thinking. That shit looks hype only in trailers. You have a game with long combos and extenders that is basically one player pushing buttons and the other does nothing and a combo easily eats half your health bar and then you have all the crazy animated shit on top of it. Anyway, I don't think I'll return to Tekken 8. There's like zero movement in this game and with all the anime effects I have no idea what's going on the screen half the time. I can understand why they don't want the game to be a KBD-fest, Tekken is the only game that limited backdashes, but then those pesky Koreans found and exploit... Anyway, the game cannot be fixed. It's fundamentally flawed by the heat mechanic. There was a few rounds today, when heat was not used for some reason and it was really fun.I also have a feeling that VF6 is going to have some form of bar to make big combos and shit. The writing is on the wall. Every game has some slime-mechanics now.
>>735160356They went back to basics.
It was actually a really modest patch.Heihachi barely has any changes worth mentioning.
>>735164045>Nah, I come from 3s,Post yourself doing Oro booger unblockables now.
>>735163651All Time Peak player count when Alex dropped
If the game was already shit with Harada this is but a glance of what a Tekken game would be with Murray on deck.Please Scamco fire this filthy gaijin, why is he so protected anyway?
>>735164291I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Mighty Ruler?
I saw people doomposting about Kings new throw (a generic 1 break that's slower than a regular throw) so I figured I'd just wait a few weeks for the hysteria to die down
>>735163651They live in fear of being blacklisted or worse yet abandoned outright. You can't do shit about it because Japan is significantly larger than the western SF scene and will defend the series to death. So long as Japan loves 6, Capcom has no reason to listen to the west and will simply tell people who complain to fuck off.
murray can beat any of you in an irl fightjust block the hellsweep, you arent retarded are you anon?
>>735160356Seems like they nerfed several characters everyone was complaining about but kept some others untouched/slightly buffed (even fucking Dragunov and Nina) but I need to watch more YouTuber opinions before saying for sure. I don't think it's as bad as people say, a lot of new moves are useless and Tekken fans are known to whine too much.>>735163694I can't stand watching SF6; SNK and most anime are way more fun. Hell, watching old dudes playing Hyper Fighting is more entertaining.
>>735166354The main problem is while some things got nerfed they over promised and under delivered. Everyone got a new move that they didn't need, again, most of which are lazily recycled animations that look shitty, like Drag's "new" move is 4,1 without the 4 and it looks stupid.The patch is basically S2.5, the majority of dumb shit is still in and nothing really changed at all
>>735163584>The cope that it's only popular with Japanese people is realKek
Since I'm on Adderall now I was actually going to take my time to learn fighting games I just been playing and not really learning. Had Street fighter 6 on launch. Only put 2 hours into it. The only character I think I'll play if I ever do Is Juri, Kim or Cammy but my God looking at gameplay for it now it's just nothing but throw loops. It looks awful and not interesting. Was going to buy Tekken last week just to have it marinate until they fix the balancing .They promised "back to basics" and it's nothing but offense like holy shit. Guess I'll be sticking with GGST right now it's the only Fighting game that I enjoy watching and playing A.B.A, Sin and Nago are fun
I like offensive fighting gamesWho wants to sit there defending all day like some loserNot me because im a winner
No really it was barely a big patch
>>735160432The thing is that they, that is Bamco and Capcom and all the others, will never fix anything because the games are made around systems that lessen character differences and ecourage offense. The genre is now being made so that normals/casuals can button mash and unga their way into big damage and big combos with no real thought without having to get mad about defense. It's being done so that retards watching streams can get HYYYYYPE DOOOOOOOD without having slowed down "lame" defensive play and cool clips can get posted on xitter. The characters are homogenized and the system mechanics become dominant so anyone can pick up any character and unga their way to hype and they don't have to really worry about learning matchups, learning characters' weaknesses and shit. It's all meant to be brainless.There is no fixing Tekken or Street Fighter or any modern fighting games until this whole mentality of making games for the type of retard who streams or watches streams goes away.
>>7351679152.0 update is coming around April or before EVO Japan. Make sure to watch the trailer at March 22nd during AWT finals.
>>735163694They're the same shitty sloppy garbage.
>>735164820Mighty Ruler is peak Tekken skill. It's above casual and below sweaty nolife tryharder
