@michaeldietz26485 ай бұрын
Lol he is not OP you’re just not good at fighting him, he’s actually one of the worst characters in the game. He’s extremely slow, his air juggle that could do 50% damage is 10 times harder to do than everybody else’s, his heat is almost useles, the only thing he is good at is mixups hi mid low (that you could interrupt very easily once you figure them out) i’ve been using him since Tekken 3 and he’s so bad in Tekken 8 I stop using him, once I got to blue rank with him.

I disagree with Victor. His only superbroken tool was his grabs which will be fixed today. His sword moves are sidestepable and some other important moves have bad frames on block (df2 has -14f on block). I would put in a little op tier just for having the u1+2 that can dodge some attacks other characters cannot and the glock for zoning (its duckable tho). That's it.

Yeah Victor's most annoying move can be sidestepped but it just does way too much damage and way too safe for how high priority it is. If he's got it active, then attacking him is always a huge risk and that's totally broken. His gun and swords against a cast of hand to hand fighters is BS.

My mains in Tekken are Raven(I mainly use Raven because he resemble Naruto characters in his unorthodox fighting style approach and because he's very unique and authentic, he's my trump card back from T5) and I admit it that If you don't adapt to his matchup he can definitely be annoying to fight against him. Hwoarang and Jin( these two are like the symbol of Yin&Yang☯️ in my eyes, they were my mains when I was starting to play Tekken 3 for the first time many many years ago, I also like it to use Eddy Gordo as well because of his Capoeira style of fighting). My List of annoying characters that I don't like to encounter/face are: Jun, Victor, Azucena, Dragunov, Xiaoyu, King, Devil Jin, Reina(sometimes), Yoshimitsu, Feng, Jack8, Nina, Alisa and Lili. So almost the entire roster I know... 🤷🏻♂️😅🙆🏻♂️✌️

Made her safer on moves, 11f heat engager, forward 4 giving Nina her first instant, plus on block mid, still has all over her CH moves, deletes recoverable health with throws, can't chicken her reversal, great heat smash, top 5 wall carry in the game... brother...

Honestly ngl as kazuya player I think he's a little underwhelming, mostly due to his being. Honestly one of the worst in the game. You have some good options but rest? Why even use them. And being minus 14 on. His heat smash is kind of also a big question mark because it deals less damage than heaven's gate hellsweep (even though it's launchable on hit) but it's kind of, might as well use it over heatsmash. It is a bit of whining maybe, but honestly I'd say kazuya needs some buffs to compete with other Mishimas because if you in it just for the win and not the characters devil jin or even reina (who I think is bit more perfectly balanced than kazuya) are better for less investment
