i'd understand if he just has ONE overtuned move with the rest being flawed, but this dude had EVERYTHING. there's no way the devs just overlooked it, he was an intentional dlc money-grab

The amount of times ive heard TMM call a move "the best move in the game"

I like the Tekken revisited series, especially the broken characters. You gotta do Fahkumram

The funniest part…. I remember Speedkicks and Lil Majin claiming he wasn’t broken and it was too early to tell 😂

db1 was a high crush. Safe mid, mid string starting with high crush and ending with CH launcher. And fantastic range.

I loved Leeroy's trailer and so did everyone else. How could Bandai Namco turn such an anticipated hype character into one of the most hated fighters of the decade is beyond comprehension...

:Leeroy has arguably the best move in the game! :Which one? :Yes

Miss these revisited videos. Oh the terror I spread playing launch Leroy lmao, and no I wasn’t ki charging and plugging

Love this tekken revisited, especially on the older tekken games. Very nice to hear about charactrers you didnt have opportunity to play with in the past

If he does come back, I really want him to be completely redone. I'd like him to be high execution, and make his playstyle more distinct

It still pisses me off how they made him this busted *on purpose* They saw T pain cosplaying Leroy, they saw the overwhelmingly positive response to his visual design from the community, and they decided to make him _overwhelmingly_ broken on release to live up to the 'hype'. They have Mishima Star on the balance team, a man who knows what good tekken is and how it should be balanced. And they expect us to believe that he saw these numbers on Leroy and told them they'd designed a balanced character? They knew *exactly* what they were doing, and tarnished one of the greatest visual designs in tekken history forever with their terrible balancing of him.

imo if leroy (and fahkumram) hadnt happened 7 probably would still have enough momentum for a S5 proper. i feel like S3 killed so much goodwill that the game had earned up to that point, and S4 did little to bring any of it back.

Great video MainMan. While it was very unhealthy for the game, playing launch Leroy was fun that I will never forget. Such a great time when Tekken 7 was truly flourishing.

"sounds like a skill issue, there was counterplay, he needed it" - launch fakhumram

Love these type of videos. Please do this for the other Tekken 7 god tier characters! (like Fahkumram, S2 Geese, Akuma)

The bamco executives were salivating since AK sold so much last season they decide to throw a pay to win character you would only see in mobile games

Db1,3 Db1 high-crushed. F,F2,2 still tracks today. I think Leroy was the character that made me learn about the general design of Tekken. My homie who was not as skilled as I was, greatly closed the skill gap and caused me many a nights worth of headaches

When launch Leroy hit, me and a couple buddies played right away. They played Leroy non-stop when he came out and since I was so inflexible, I just played my usual Miguel. They beat me up so bad with Leroy, by the time I got online to play ranked, I was so used to Leroy and he didn't seem like a problem at the time. Think my friends innoculated me against him. 😅

Yes indeed No Name, Hello MainMan

Wow i didn't expect tmm to do revisited videos on tekken 7 this quickly

Loving the charisma! , Awesome video!

Yoooo MORE TEKKEN REVISITED MAIN MAN WE MISSED EM!

Thanks for breaking down, why he was that broken on release. But to be fair, I don't think that Leroy remains top 5 after all these nerfs and after the release of Fahkumram and Lidia. Most people are really scared of Leroy's past, I don't think that he's that big of a problem today. You also barely see him in tournaments. I mean, he's a top tier character, but not as broken anymore as most people think.

Finally! More tekken revisted!

Someone said before that Leroy has the same color palette as Steve and I can see it clearly here lmao

He said swag in the first minuet and it didn't feel weird. Dad buff is OP

PTSD

He's back... the nightmare is back!!!

to this day i still say, bandai namco saw the overwhelming positive reception to leroy and felt they had no choice but to give the people their moneys worth. the character that put me on a months hiatus after 2 and a half years straight of tekken 7.

EVO JAPAN 2020 - the show of Leroy

shoutouts to the bullets per minute soundtrack.

Our lord Leroy will prevail

This music gave me Vietnam flashbacks to playing BPM

This wasn't THAT long ago. It was, what, 2020? I remember watching your launch Leroy videos, where you spoke of him as "boss Leroy" due to him having better versions of moves like Heihachi's b+4. Then there was that entire video dedicated to f,f+3.

EVO Japan 2020 will forever be a stain on Leroy's legacy.

I wanna play Tekken 4 again

d/b1 being a high crush was insane

This character sickens me

SIMILAR TO THE SAME WAY EDDY GORDO WAS WHEN HE WAS INTRODUCED IN TEKKEN

Love the BPM ost

Hey mainman i just started on tekken what person should i main?

the best

With the Leroy d+1+2 not being steppable as easily on P1, would there be a desync if both players were player 2 on their screen, but you would appear as player 1 on leroy's screen?

LOVE YOU MENTOR

Everyone was hyped for this dude but bamco ruined him by making him pay to win basically, sad really, he really reminded me on t3 character design style

Good video, unrelated question thought. Is that a hitbox he is using?

Launch Leroy is exactly what $6 looks like in Tekken 7

I feel like d1+2 was even more op because he had a 10frame hit confirmable counter string and an overpowered orbital that evaded the dick jabs.

Leroy's d+1+2 was Bob's d+1 ON STEROIDS.

Great video, crazy after about a year of properly playing Tekken and then watching this I can see how crazy he was upon release 12:45 don't a lot of characters have a -1 DF1?

Why did I all of a sudden get angry when tmm ki charged with Leroy 😆

The release of Leroy and the decision to give most cast wall carry combo was the point were the game was no longer enjoyable for me. Fahkumram was the nail in the coffin.

Yo quick question, did you import your hitbox? cuz with my calc its gonna cost alot to get one to sweden, hur mycket var slutpriset för dig?

oh I remember those days when for me I'll never play other character than Kazuya but literally everyone i was facing was playing Leroy and once he got nerfed they disappeared 😂

The reason they can't nerf him properly is because he's fundamentally broken. He's either super broken or garbage. There's no in between.

iv just picked him up, i love him. then again I am 54 y/old .. thanks for the vid tmm 👍

Need to do another Leroy vid since the nerf

Lunch Leroy

Hi mainman :3

What's the song in the background around 5:00 ?

How can you revert to old patch?

Hey TMM, Leroy Prime or Fahk Prime?

He plays on keyboard and Arcade stick!!!?? Wow😯

Please do this for Fahkumram as well

Leroy is where Tekken died to me.

I can't watch this i have PTSD

-3 orbital!? Jesus!

why would u use that pad instead of a keyboard?

It's ip man and people say it can't be done. I don't see him as leroy, he is ip man!! 😆 and I don't care what people say, about every character release was busted. Honestly him being wing chun fighting style = already gonna be popular on release. If you're a martial art fan!

Who Win shin Akuma or god itself?

T8 Leroy still paying for this

He still can fuckin parry bullets

How can you play 3.0 ?

Man it's definitely been a minute since TMM did a "why this character is problematic" video.

lol wheres the old intro coming from haha

I would highly recommend people to pick up this character now ( season 5.0). He is well balanced, his has very clear weaknesses and a very distinct and attractive style of play. I recently started playing after 4 years and tried him as my current main and its been fun.

can anyone please tell me where to get this mod from?

Idk. I see way more Geese, Fahk, and Kuni in tournaments than Leroy. I wonder why that is.

What enrages me the most, is that no one in the hard scene, at a tournament, at a press conference, whatever. No one had the balls to confront harada, murray, or other corporates and ask them. „Why did you do this? I dont even have to ask HOW or WHY this happened, you sacrificed the integrity of your game for months an your good reputation. For a little bid of extra sales. You should apologize to your players and be ashamed“. No one did something like this.

I still remember when some of the scrubs on locals said he was balanced LMAOOOOOO

I really want to see a good video about how to make Leroy cool. Like talk about how to make him an interesting character, maybe add another stance, something like Feng's shifting clouds, not just complain about how is design was terrible on launch and even to this day. I don't necessarily think that execution makes a character interesting, but just giving a character OP moves isn't cool. I'm just disappointed, because Leroy has so much swag and potential

Just spent the day playing Leroy for the first time in T7. Got him from 0-50 wins and ended up near yellow ranks. Gonna watch this video to see how he has gotten nerfed.

The only good thing that Leroy did for pro scene is Ulsan destroying Chikurin with Bob against the 3.0 Leroy on the finals if EVO Japan

I knew he was busted when my friend (who had beginner level execution) started doing 70+ damage combos after a few minutes of practice

I need this video and i don't know since right now...

I hope they release DLC characters weak, and then buff them gradually later on, because releasing them with everything after a hype trailer, just really puts a bad taste in your mouth. I would honestly want that instead, than to have a broken character on release.

they will never make a move -16

I think they make their characters 1st versions broken so they will be top tier and everyone will buy them...

Tekken 6 Bob revisited please 🙏

LEROY IS THE CHEAT CODE TO WIN IN TEKKEN

Maybe people should’ve learnt the matchup If a lot of legacy characters were dlc characters they’d be nerfed to the ground

There are Leroy players out there thinking this character was balanced and not deserving of nerfs. I fear no man, but the concept of those people existing, it haunts me. Also that 70 nerf claim, that isn't an exaggeration, I kinda wish mainman showed all the times Leroy got a nerf because there's gonna be the odd people who don't believe it's validity.

BPM is such a good game with an absolute killer ost

I've been playing Tekken on and off since Tekken 4, for a total of approximately 5 years of non-casual gaming. When Leroy dropped I dropped Tekken and the fighting games completely.

he was busted on release, now, i believe overall fakurham or lidya are better, still the biggest issue is the easy execution and lack of moves is like they went around slapped some of the best moves of other tekken characters and that is it. he has very few moves compared to other characters if you are playing against a person that knows leroy wel and your not a top tier player you are not going to win, the back 4/ sweep yes it is the best thing that he has now .

Launch Leroy was busted but he definitely wasnt the most broken Tekken character of all time. The most most broken character of all time is Tekken 1 King with the +90 df1 where you only had 2 choices, Die or die harder lol. After that Tekken 3 Arcade Jin with the df1 glitch, then Launch Leroy. So it should be: 1. Tekken 1 King 2: Tekken 3 Arcade Jin 3: Tekken 7 3.0 Leroy

Kuni ..Julia ..lidia ..right up there with Leroy

Fukhimandrun..

I don't play a lot of tekken, but I love watching all the tournaments and when Leroy released I just hated every single tournament, so fricking boring. Atleast Akuma requires a lot of skill in comparison. Leroy matches just put me to sleep.

The character that made me abandon Tekken for good.
