The Most Problematic Characters in TEKKEN 8 

What does Gule mean?

@@victoralvarez9459 i think he meant "king is just sniffing glue". super akouma said that

Agreed! Can’t sidestep 99% of her shit

Do you guys know how to step properly ? Because she's very easy to step, except her hell sweep that has weird tracking and is about to be fix.

@jetaime4431 I'm not talking about laterally. But while we're on that subject, how should you step reina?

@@jetaime4431 which direction is her weak side? Cuz I swear her ff2 clips both sides. The only thing that is easy to step is her d 1+2 stance options.

​@@jetaime4431you can step her hs to the right reliably

first of all, why some characters do have more movement than other ? that's just braindead unbalancing the game

@@TheNonHiddenSingularity Every character has their unique movement and that makes perfect sense. The characters are built on different lore, physics, genders, etc. So one character having a better backdash or sidestep than another character is perfectly fine but the thing is the overall kit of the characters should be well balanced out to make up for its flaws or strengths. Better movement>lesser strength, more strength>slower backdash(just an example). This is what makes Tekken complex and gives depth to the game. Keep in mind the state we are in right now is vanilla Tekken 8. Tekken 7 for example also had this problem where the vanilla version was far from a well round balanced game, plus the fact that the game got released on the arcade first and it took 1-2 years to get released on console which affected the accessibility of the game. For Tekken 8 that is not the case, the vanilla version is accessible to everyone from the get go and that's a good thing because this means the developers get way more response on how to balance the game in a positive direction from an earlier stage in its lifespan. Which is awesome and as long as we as a community communicate about it, the developers can use the feedback to make Tekken 8 even more successful than Tekken 7.

There is no way they will, they are trying to avoiding situations where people can turtle and use movement. I wish they buffed backdash but it does not see like their style at all

Buffing back dash by the smallest amount would be the perfect balance to all of the new offensive options. Been saying this since day 1.

For real nerfing backdash and making the game over oppressive was not a good move

Despite that he's still one of the most fair character in the game. But yeah who could've guessed that having access to multiple starburst moves in a row would be too strong ? That goes to show how over the top everyone is

Bro I play with my lil bro a lot and he's like literally done like over a hundred DMG with rage and heat on secluded training ground

You dont need to launch a rage art to kill...

@@Nathan-zd8ew Rage activates at 25% health does it not, at least as far I can look up. Not every character has something that'll do 45 damage from a 15f punish to kill. Plus sometimes rage arts can happen when characters have more health than that because of health recovery, so not being able to launch a rage art is a huge disadvantage.

There's an entire 2hr video this content is from, they did touch on ragearts as well in that

@@Nathan-zd8ew did u read the entire thing mr smartiepants?...

I don't like how rage art is such a distressing option but the threat of it coming out makes it more of a comeback factor than the actual move itself imo. But tbh -15 seems fine, the characters who cannot launch it seem to have that by design. I think it speaks more to those characters specific weaknesses than RA, but I won't complain if it goes to -18 lol.

idk why he even has that move when his movelist is near perfect without it

Is that his hook kick the 12f safe(maybe not safe) mid?

@@Guitar-DogIts the 22/23 frame knee people complain about. I think the change we're probably gonna see on that is no chip on block

​@@Guitar-Dog you're thinking of his b4

@@faisaalkamara4181 I’d say it’s an easy way to wall splat mid combo when you’re not sure his Df 4,3 is gonna make them stick to the wall for his f3,2 into b1+2 combo ender. It is a decent whiff punishment tool as well, but it makes him too easy imo, they should make B3 minus and then make his QCF 1+2 +4 like in T7, I love head butting people lol 🤷‍♂️ Anyways, what people fail to realise is Feng is Haradas main and he has an affinity towards the character. Leroy even acknowledges his new power in their fight intro, so don’t expect any significant nerfs to him.

Joka, very strong eu Feng player

Thats his bf joka

​@@loto7197😂😂😂😂😂

A mystery

Me

Yeah dude your opinion is definitely better than the literal best players in the world

@@jessefoti9865 what players? It was one player. Maybe try watching the video next time. SuperAkouma said he thought Kazuya was a problem and no one else agreed. He also was the only player who didn't think Akuma was a problem in 7. Keep mindlessly agreeing with "pro players" you're still not going to leave yellow ranks little guy 🤣

Triggered Kaz main detected

​@@onceyougozach2607Even MMS started saying that Kaz is pretty strong. Obviously, he hasn't complained. But something clicked and he saw how the character is meant to be played in T8. Something about getting a knockdown near the wall at all costs then abusing the hell out of oki with 50/50s.

@@abdulkarimelnaas7595 Kazuya is good, I like him more in 8 than 7. I'm saying he would not even be close to the top of priorities for character balancing, because they already toned him down to a reasonable level after the network test. It makes no sense that SuperAkouma considers him a problem with the game how it is right now, the topic was "most problematic characters" and there's no way Kazuya is in that conversation

You’re just a bad player

@@TheUnique69able Good job answering the question dufus

@@TheUnique69able Fuck out of my thread bot 🤣

@@TheUnique69able Good job answering the question smart one.

I'm a dvj main, but for me coffee queen, Lilly and Ling are horrible to deal with. I play bryan as my second main and its ruff for him. Hopefully we get some more balance patches 8 has done Bryan dirty he was much stronger in 7 imo

No shes not, alot of people are trying to say shea top tier and shes not

Lili is definitely slept on. Top tier EASY.

@@jl53588 she’s top tier definitely

You all mean to tell me that Lili is comparable to Feng, Dragunov, Xiao, Azucena, King?? 😅😅 How many Lilis bodied you all?

@@jl53588 I know you’re in fear right now that Namco is going to nerf her 🤣🤣🤣

You say this and there are literally characters to who use the same two buttons for 80% of the match. Idk what level you play at but playing Feng without actually knowing majority of the move list and reacting properly can only work when your opp has no clue what Feng is capable of. You can't get away with simple flow charts and braindead shoulders against players who know his moveset.

Hell nah

It really is. It's a character that almost nobody can win with.

@@walmartian422 they can just talk, that's it. None can play him and prove he's actually good, empty words and gaslighting

@@JustAnte9557 Alot of players are just anti mishima and I've noticed alot of them are people that also have mained insanely broken characters in the past.

@@walmartian422 I think ppl in general dislike mishima players not the characters cause according to them we are elitists.. Apparently saying that kazuya is more difficult to use than Lili or xiaoyu hurts them, god forbid saying the truth in 2024

Kazuya in heat is absolutely insane, people are hella sleeping on him rn

I’m not. Soon as that mf knocks me down I get put in a blender. No other character has oki like Kazuya.

Bad takes is what he does.

That's what I'm saying. Every combo he does is inconsistent and he has the worst heat smash so ofc his heat options are strong.

If you paid ANY attention, it was others saying Kazuya was creeping up and that the Japanese players, when he went to Japan, opened his eyes to Kazuya. And Joka agreed with him. You guys aren't listening.

yes when "mastered"

You don’t even master, the character is auto pilot

Leo hurts like nina...it's different

Yep and Law is a problem too. Now eddy with the new DLC.

not even mastered, just go into stance and 50/50 mix up over and over

Downplaying T8 Kazuya is crazy

Yeah he isn't the best at all. Worst heat smash in the game btw.

@@SnowflakeSSQ why would u even use kazuyas heatsmash when everything else he gets is so insane

​​@@SporksGalore because all he knows is heat burst into raw heat smash.

@@SporksGalore It's a good panic button to have a heat smash like the rest of the characters where you can just press R1 to cause an explosion whenever you want but then there are characters like Paul, Lee and Kazuya where there is no strong heat smash. Having a weak heat smash is pretty bad when everyone else has pretty strong ones. And I do use his heat options a lot. I'm not a Jin main that spams Heat Smash after Heat Burst immediately.

There have to be Claudio players to begin with, lol. Considering how rare he is (I main him), he could easily fly under the radar, assuming he'd need to to begin with.
