Another patch, another shameless spitting on the face of everyone.
Just one more ridiculously bad and inadequate "balance" patch that changes literally nothing. Still there are countless issues - mind you some being there for over a year - (plus the added MESS that Season 2 brought).
I won't say much, I just wanna remind / point out something that many (unfortunately) disregard or choose to consciously ignore.
It's all fun and games when you annihilate every opponent while playing a character that some allegedly professional team " balanced " by giving them absurdly strong tools, stances, godlike mix ups and overwhelming heat which have limited or no real counterplay.
But let's flip the argument now, shall we? Cause at the end of the day everything's a matter of perspective, not individual perception.
How does it feel like being on the receiving end of that?
Try to defend against the OP bs of unga bungas like Clive, Anna, Alisa, Jun, Asuka, Hwoarang, Jin, Bryan (and I'm sure Fakumram will soon dominate the ranks - let's not forget the usual Bamco practice of DLCs full on roids eh - ) and tell me if Tekken 8 constitutes somehow a FUN experience, especially after S2.
I'm sorry but grown ups can't accept that " just guess better bro " is the strongest defensive option in such scenarios.
Whoever thought that a cool new idea would be to remove option select I got news for you. You dumbed down Tekken. And for what? Overhomogenisation. Congratulations, now almost everyone's a 50/50 stance pitbull with zero weaknesses.
Personally, the only enjoyable thing left in T8 (apart from the occasional friendly matches or cool games online) is exploring alternate combo routes with my Kazuya.
