The Nightmare Character That Broke Tekken 

Sm4sh : *Laughs in Bayonetta*

@@ToikaThatOneFrenchGuy not even close to being more op then Leroy

@@ToikaThatOneFrenchGuy Leroy is so easy and broken that in the day of his release almost all of the pros were playing him competitively lmao. Not even a full day mind you.

@@MEGASTRIX ok.

You can't blame people for picking Leroy. Sure it's an easy way to win- but when money is involved, it's obvious to use a much more efficient characters.

@@LordDragox412 We don't have to take the Lord's name in vain

I cannot entirely agree, since Julia was and still is OP as hell, but yeah, not at Leroy 1.0 level

it speaks volumes about how op leroy is/was...when people were actually cheering for a julia player lol...that´s like rooting for Satan to beat Super Satan

@@FliskFLask i play kazuya, dlc characters are too strong

Which means.. Julia is broken

Soul Calibur players: Nightmare, you say?

thats crazy

I feel bad for the people who get destroyed imagine😭

I mean he doesn't seem that complicated. He seems even more focused on throwing jabs than Steve... So spam square and triangle with an occasional O.

You're KIDDING

That a bruh moment

🤣🤣

Too hard

He did what he needed to do.

He goes from Defender of the Hood, to Invader of the Hood

I mean, just play him, don't let others stop you from having some leeroy fun.

well, if you ki charge or taunt then that's the cause

It was actually fun you are trippin

And looked spot on arguably the most accurate cosplay ive ever see

That’s cool af

That shit was so sick!!!!

When I saw that I honestly thought that they based Leroy off T-Pain not the other way around

I listened to him on a podcast and apparently he plays video games constantly

Chat was rull of "ResidentSleeper" emotes lmfaooo

It's pretty crazy too. Because people were rooting for Julia. Everyone HATED Julia before Leroy was released. Julia has always been one of the most hated characters in the game

Yeah, that was really awful to see

@@mee091000 Julia's annoying but she takes a lot of execution and has a lot of hard-commit moves so I don't mind

Not even just fighting games tbh. Any game in a competitive setting where all play stakes are not equal can relate to the same. It's always awful.

@@Mister_Clean those aren’t fighting game characters.

@@YourMasta If Super Smash Bros isn't a fighting game, I'm not Mr. Clean

@Kleek Vishon wtf is a Movement game 😭I stg the FGC would use anything other than the words "Fighting Game" to describe a Smash lmao

or you instantly are leroy and a villian

Hahaha

Lmao

Leroy is the hero

Good 1

7 in top8. No such thing as top10

There were 6 lol not 7

What tournament are you entering to have a top 10?

History doomed to repeat itself , same shit happened in Tekken 6 with BOB's

Top 10 top 8 whatever, it was full of Leroys let alone all the pools.

Oh yeah this character made everyone hype for Tekken and then proceeded to singlehandedly make pro players and Tekken RU-vidrs jump ship and start playing other games for a bit. Nothing will ever wash out the taste of shit that he left in people's mouths.

@@b1gs3xy17 it’s there own fault for shitting on their own game. Why have such a strong knee jerk reactions if you know the character is getting nerfed? It’s funny because all the pros that whined still played tekken for 12 hours a day, and all the whining did was knock tekken out of the spotlight.

@@YourMasta you comment makes no sense

It was such a disgrace of a tournament, you can even tell Book wasn’t even happy about the win because Leroy just tainted the entire tournament

That's a good one 😂

except everyone hated that one guy who did not play fox or falco lmao the turntables

@@Valigarmanda dude I couldn't fathom how people weren't hype af for hbox tearing a hole through spacey supremacy.

@@fvb7 A lot of it was the Angry Jack Response. For someone who thought spacies were the only way to win, HBox was a direct contradiction of that belief. When reality doesn't check with a belief, people sometimes don't change the belief, but just get mad and try to find some explanation for why they're right and reality is wrong. Doubly so if they themselves invested huge amounts of time and effort into learning the spacies, since in that case, HBox's success would also imply (to some) that they wasted all that time and effort. It's all kinda dumb and not logically sound, but people are emotional, not logical.

​@@juniperrodley9843Another thing is that Hbox plays a slower and more patient game and the crowd pleasers are the aggressive players. It's like with Justin Wong in MCV2.

Leroy was straight brain dead. There's a good couple of characters with a parry of some sort and their's actually require timing. You could just hold Leroy's for a couple seconds and still get a good payoff.

To add to your point. The skill ceiling for akuma isn't just high. It's near impossible to teach. There are only a select few that akuma allows to unlock his power.

He was legitimately pay to win

@Orochi 100%. It’s pretty much impossible to play Akuma well on a pad, and even playing stick the skill level is very high so it didn’t bother me as much that Akuma was in every tournament before because I know how hard it is to play him like that. But Leeroy on the other hand was and still is braindead. I immediately lost respect for every Leeroy player in Top 8 last year

ezikillz you can play Akuma on pad, one of the best Akuma players is GoukiAkuma, European Akuma player who uses a Xbox pad

Didn't they have a patch for leroy even before they released it? Maybe it was a conspiracy and nothing else but they surely made him broken to sell more DLC. Just look at evo japan, that shit was sad to watch.

What annoyed me the most is his parry moves

Negan has the same thing. Lol

lol and then I saw the floor break...the ground pound broke the floor..after the combo was dropped. Geezus.

@@elpapibigbird1691 When has Negan been this dominant?

I need to know him

Moar liek Mr. Softy amirite

@@omegamanGXE 🤓

Leroy is Eddys father? That's never been stated

@@DeadChocobo he jokin dood

@@DeadChocobo r/whoosh

@@DeadChocobo It'd be weird to have someone doing capoiera to be the son of a wing chun master lmao unless it's a lore thing.

@@mr.z9309 Go home redditor

More like the Bob of the new generation. Eddy was a scrub killer, but never dominated top level play.

Seeing Eddie is Leeroy's son 🤣

Eddy was never that good ()with the exception of the double capo in TTT2), people just didn't know how to play the game back then.

Let's not get crazy...

@@Phurzt i think he means in terms of a character who can be picked up by noobs

Leroy should be banned from tournaments

@This Is What Awesome Looks Like love how people complain about leeroy but no one was talking how negan did 98 damage with one button

@This Is What Awesome Looks Like for real i remember negan i went into punishment training and then immediately didn't play until the next patch

@@mayuzumiandme I think the reason he blew up is bc Leroy had everything in the game and it was all strong as shit. Don't get me wrong I don't like Negan at all, especially bc of his long ass cutscenes, but if anything rn Negan is just another character overshadowed by the stronger bullshit characters

Notice how all the "Broken" Tekken characters are people of color right But all the white male broken characters are never getting downgraded White supremacy is in everything and it always has its supporters like all the white boys that complain about men of color being broken in games and then they patch them lower to cater to the white male cry babies so they keep buying there games and the company doesnt get targeted by the White supremacist and get killed and taken down . WEAK !

Meh

@@jessISaRicePrincess your face is meh

Dude he's not that "badass" you're obviously young AF

It kinda stains his rep for being a badass though.

They tried those arguments in smash bros, didn't hold there won't hold here lol

Only the strategy worked... lol

His opponents has about a 33.33% chance of survival... Repeating of course

@@Desh681 👁

Certified classic meme 😁

Yes, he and Saint too, he deserves to be in the top 8 after all those years of waiting give you your main character back, give your best but the whole wave of Leroys did its job.

Honestly, if it wasn't for Leroy, many other incredibly good players would have had a much better chance at winning just by advancing past Mikio. Gotta give the man props though, he did make it out when all those pros didn't and put up a hell of a fight, Julia being a mixup monster def helped too in the matchup.

No he didnt. Or else he would have won.

I mean I wanted Mikio to win but he didn't deserve to win anything lol

It sucks that mikio loss but I'm kinda ok julia is good right now an i am afraid that if mikio won they would nerf one of my girls

That's RIP for you

always staying positive

Actually ash did beat all lerorys when he went to different tournaments in USA and also some local tournaments in pak. So RIP's comment was based on those facts.

@@smm7mm are those leroy players he beat the best players in the world?

@@smm7mm i mean... if you ask tekken god prime to beat green rank leroys, answer is obvious.

Nah, it didn't feel like money grab.. more like "what if he'd lived up to the hype?" tragedy

"DLC characters don't have to be OP they just have to sell"

*sigh* Lab Coat 21....

Ghost Battle is superior to that watered down mode.....

@@tmcttf8087 No one asked

@@fyrlefanz Ghost battle had an actual ai while in treasure battle you can just launch all day so it shouldn't be a problem to beat a cpu Leroy even if he was a broken character.

He reportdly used leroy once in an off-stream match but I agree with you, It's unfair to put him with the rest of the Leroys when all of his other matches were with his mains Kazumi and Bob. It was Him and Mikio that made this tournament bearable to watch.

When Twitch chat actually cheers for Kazumi, you know that Leroy is BS.

I just commented this right before scrolling down lol

He used Leroy during Evo, that's why they said used Leroy at one point during this Evo. But I do agree there's 6 Leroy on top 8.

Mikio is the tragic hero of evo japan

Looking more devastating than ever

From DLC to base roster

He deserves it, everyone who has played Tekken has to eat garbage to get good

Unbelievably deserved I hope you made him quit and gave him suicidal levels of depression

People may not understand this reference 😂😂😂

At least he ain't a chicken

@@Descro382 *has chicken

"Leroy Jenkins joins chatroom"

God damn it, now I gotta watch that video again hahaha Leeeeeerrroooyyy

Just dont care about it and play

@@maggoteater2290 facts. Fuck these people. They all play the most broken characters in the game anyways. Julia was one of the ones that was like high on the broken list and she still remains that way!

Play because he looks cool not because he’s op

Play to have fun, man. Whenever I play multiplayer games, I turn my accounts to private so I don't have to deal with toxic people being assholes. But I'm not gonna let weirdos that don't know boundaries prevent me from enjoying my favorite fighting game.

Leroy clearly does NOT look "cool"

It's all fun and games until a better player uses the broken character against you. Then it sinks in.

To be fair thats common in every fighting game whenever a new op character is released. Sometimes you might want more data before you make a conclusion but sometimes people want to be carries or some meta breaking character without seeing the consequences of that

and it made sense, the community agreed that he looked awersome, great design, fun gameplay, visually impressive fighting style. they were right in saying he was a great inclusion. the problem is, he came "overcooked". still, the problem wasnt the people defending him, it was the tekken dev team. they took too long to nerf him, they let it go like that, all the way to evo, and got egg on their face. at least they fixed it, its more than can be said about bayonetta in ssb WiiU...

One look at his frame data at the start was enough, one play showed it was so much more than just frame data. It was everything, he had everything. And it was obvious af from day 1, all the people who said otherwise were either ignorant or noobs.

Yup. Especially commentators giving props to people playing Leroy

Yeah its like required to buy jsut to know the matchup

@Trollerlel009 pretty much. Alot of DLC is pay to win. Armor Kingu is the last legit tekken character😔

@@havefaithinnobody3575 actually or salt?

@@captainmega6310 nah they're actually right, not every dlc character is top tier but they're all questionable except of armor king

They didn’t slightly nerf him they killed his ass.

Yes! Somebody that knows!

All day homie!!!!🤣‼💯

That’s the first thing I thought of I played Tekken 7 for the first time yesterday and saw him and knew he was gonna be bad ass

“These hands bring salvation only if the person was murdered by it”

difference there is that not every pro could just pick him up, some did ofc, but they had to practice and akuma had been out for a looong time, leroy released -> pro picked him up and tore faces of people. Same as when steve was insanity, or jin, the difficulty of the characters made it so that even though they were insanity on paper, everyone couldnt just pick him up and destroy with them, especially online

this channel makes "definitive" statements every second sentence, and half of them are just straight up lies or bullshit lol

@@troywebster3638 easy clicks lol

Akuma didn’t dominate Tekken. When Akuma was placing top 8 in tournaments, it was from 2 players. Takra cup being an exception to this as Akuma was the most popular character in Pakistan. On top of that, you didn’t really see many Akuma players online who can actually do what makes him strong.

Didn't that... video come out before Leeroy was in the game? So like in comparison it might come across differently

it is

What do you mean 1000 ? It's over 9000.

Get some life duchi

D CANE in tekken literally

Duchi i love you

Lots of old black dudes dress like him.

Your dad looks like a black Jesus?

Does he practice his fighting moves on you?

Does your dad know wing chun?

Does he orbital you regularly?

so much wrong with the last part of this comment

lmao prolly gonna get woooshed but it's wing chun inspired from the ipman series

You mean Black IPMan

Probably a call out to the new karate kid or as I like to call it "That kung fu boy".

The problem lies literally there! It's not Wing Chun. He has the best move from almost every character, but improved. Unseeable hellsweep, orbital heel, counterhit juggles. Take a look at Ganryu, or Julia... Right off the bat, you will say: Oh! This character is a Sumo Wrestler (Ganryu) or this character is a Baji Quan fighter (Julia). Leroy doesn't resemble Wing Chun for me, only his stance and a couple of fast rotating close punches. He doesn't have an unique playstyle because he has every single good move from various playstyles in the game. I think the fear of failure after the hype that surrounded his reveal made Bandai Namco take this path with him. I mean, he literally jumps and does a half circle overhead kick in the air. C'mon man, Wing Chun is supposed to be a grounded fighting style!

Leeroy is Bruce Lees disciple and meets IP man to invite him to Bruce Lees tournament

D G yes! That’s hilarious and an underrated comment. He gave master sifu the plane ticket lol, only to be the true grand master

What in the world? How did you just realize such a thing? Do you say this about anyone who does Wing Chin?

@@AnointedFlow Wing Chun* and Leroy was inspired by IP Man

@@Steven-qm2nh Sifu means master in Cantonese. Its not actually part of Ip man's name

First one to call out Fahkhumram being broken, turns out it's true, including his hurtbox

Arslan says Lee is stronger than Akuma and Nina is bottom 1 sooo

@@bisnecronomidol6559 I'm not sure about Lee being stronger than Akuma but I definitely agree with Nina being bottom

Nina bottom 1.. have you even played this game?

Jordan the guy won two EVOs back to back.

Dragunov mains: can I have mids? Bandai Namco: have this insted (ads Leroy)

The commentators were reminded of the same thing. There was a Bob player holding on and advancing against the onslaught of Leroys and one of the commentators (I think it was Tasty Steve) remarked "are we seeing the villain of Tekken 6 becoming the hero of Tekken 7?"

Nah, Fahkumram is the new broken character.

@@claypidgeon2808 imo fahk just needs some damage nerfs, range nerfs, plus frame nerfs and his df1,4~3,2 shouldnt be able to hit after long combos

Nightmare from Soulcalibur would be less broken in Tekken 7 then Leroy lol and that's saying something.

@SpicyGraye If it's Tekken 8, then that's too soon. Tekken 7 still get updates.

Kyle Cox just to confirm, you basically said he needs nerfs across the board?

Smash players: “first time?”

They still are. *cough* Fahkumram *cough*

SohJinh fah isn’t buster to the point of winning anything. He’s just got a weird hitbox that really needs some fixing. Like Fahkumram isn’t anywhere close to the level of Leroy.

Jinxed Swashbuckler Fahk is someone who does have abusable normals and with the way his hitbox is, and the way Tekken is on attacks missing because you’re too close and the hurtbox is now behind the attacker, yeah I can see him needing to be banned. Tbh, this comment was made before I really understood the gravity of Fahk’s problems.

@@JOfJaZ Not to mention he moves like a squirrel on cocaine.

I been wondering why nobody used Steve

video games

I was thinking the same thing!

@john smith Black characters that are top tier get the nerf hammer hard. Sean was powerful in New Generations and 2nd Impact, but nerfed to bottom tier in 3rd Strike.

Eddy is black.

He would have still been nerfed if he were any other race too. Your reading into it too much lmao

Lmao 😂

Very true, and then also Fahkumram happened, haha

Kazumi wasn't technical... Dragonuv wasn't... Jack-7... Leroy made them seem like Akuma-level though lol

@@UltimateBallaPOM Kazumi and Jack are technical in their gameplay but not their execution (except Jack's blue uppercut). You need superior movement for both of them

Characters like Akuma, Geese and the Mashimas are like learning violin. Great payoff but takes a lot of skill to master. Leroy is like playing the triangle in comparison.

I agree

Yeah. I hate apologists too

And by "adapt" we mean "switch to Leroy".

Because they were probably playing him. He was dumb on release, anyone who spent 15 mins in practice mode could see it and if you took him into matches after, experience the pay off.

Maybe i heard him wrong, i certainly didnt see the tourny, but i think he implied 7/8 played leroy at any point in the tourny not just in the top 8 games

@@fergin4979 wtf qualifiers were 97% leroys lmao

They killed the best momentum the series ever had.

Makes me wonder why? Why do this?

Leroy is a mistake

Try to remember this feeling when they start advertising preorders for Tekken 8

Everyone who uses bullshit character quit when they notice that we are forming a game plan against them. They're incapable of switch playstyle when we download them, so they just quit.

His hellsweep still bullshit. And if you know that the leroy player loves to parry start using lows and throws. Or you can whiff punish the parry

@@axellyann5085 Happened to me couple days ago against a Zafina if you believe me. I haven't played against that character much and I have been playing tekken for 4 months. But I beat this Fujin Zafina player twice with my Usurper Bryan and he left. They just keep Abusing her stances and going for lows. I have a rudimentary gameplan against that kind of Zafina. I will upload it to let people see what works

@@qwteb As I said a game plan can be devised. But it takes 2 or three matches to get used to it. In my case. I started using Paul's ultimate tackle and throw game.

I know bull, the tekken online community is a millenial joke. It is a very toxic environment, and this is coming from a life long tekken, and street fighter player. Nina's beem my favorite character since the first game, thought i was invincible, until leroy came along. Like i said in my comment, tekken isnt tekken anymore. Friend of mine from England asked if i was getting tekken 8, and i blatantly said "no way in hell"

That's the fucking hilarious part Ip Man was fucking insane in the movies so it's only accurate Leroy would be insane in Tekken

If Ip Man were a Black man from Harlem who trained in funky Chinatown in the 70's 😁
