Its real cool to see them take joke characters into a more competitive threat. Tekken 7 with Ganryu and now Tekken 8 with Kuma, sadly Panda didn't get a much better treatment shes way in the bottom both casual and ranked.
The knowledge check was real on this one :/, jack aint that strong, due to being clunky. Kuma also has some disgusting stuff despite being slow, and lower range advantage which helps against lows. That both skilled players like lul, unique gameplay from the no1 kuma, using kuma to the fullest being the reason of the knowledge check.
