Lever controller defense is entirely dependent on how you hold the controller. Yes leverlless defense is comparitavely easier in 3D games where you have to block lows by just inputting down but if you have to block cross ups in 2D games, its terrible.
Particularly KOF where there are short hop crossups, and you have to hold db, to block lows instead of just down. If the opponent goes for another quick shirt hop crossup, it's very hard to bring fingers from db to f and then db again in the other direction which then becomes df.
At the end of the day, it's about muscle memory and hours put in the game in order to get accostomed to any situation you're being put in the game.
If Arslan Ash can win Evo Grand Finals with a lever and while rengchu also reaches grand final with leverlless and Arslan wins, then the debate is already over. It comes down to the brain again and muscle memory, not the controller you're using.
He’s entirely correct. In this game sometimes you just do it. Is it ignorant af and would you be blown up in basically any other iteration of Tekken? Absolutely. But that’s how the game works.
@NecklaceFGC@tk_anakin Step block/KBD would beg to differ. Old tekkens were about mitigation. If I move in a way that kills 95% of your options then I’ll be fine playing safe. That was stolen away for rock paper scissors
While I agree to a point, I promise you @Unconkable knows wtf he is doing in terms of gameplay. He understands fighting games at a deep level and I would never write him off or stop giving him benefit of the doubt even if we can’t see the vision from our clouded perspective
@MizzetYM That's giving riot the benefit of the doubt imo. This feels more like forcing people into a proprietary input system. Because NO other game will do it like this (I hope).
“That’s just tekken in general”
Tell me you never played a game prior to 7 without telling me. If you say you did, you’re either blatantly lying or truly never understood the game.
A lot of you don’t understand that this is one of the most balanced tekken games. The way in which it was balanced has caused all of these issues. The game isn’t bad because it’s “imbalanced”. It’s bad because mechanically it’s a fucken coin toss at all times.
“Idk why this happened but atheist also don’t know why this happened, checkmate” your logic is so flawed that I’m sure dahmer could convince you to eat people lol.
@RaccoonPrevails Mitigations over hard 50/50 guesses. Tekken used to be “if I’m 1 level higher than you on this tower of 1000’s of levels I will never lose to you since everything has an option” now it’s just “doesn’t matter if I’m worse since I don’t have to earn my mixups and you have to guess”
I should have appreciated tag 2 more because jesus christ yall have atrocious opinions. That is the last iteration of "real" Tekken and even then it has its issues, but yall really have the most warped perceptions of how this game should work.
This match was amazing but while this "real" Tekken was happening people were dooming on Tekken 7 as well. Tekken 8 just has more eyes on it so we see more of it. Tekken 8 has some classics already and will keep producing more
I don’t think most of you understand how intelligent hitler was. It’s the same issue people have when portraying napoleon. You don’t almost take over the world by being stupid. Bad people? Absolutely. But some of the worst of us are the most intelligent.
@lemonlogger6@girl_zero42@PoliticsLs If he wasnt so preoccupied with the logistics of killing Jews hitler couldve actually won. (God i wish we got to nuke germany) buy regardless. Why starve your soldiers just for deathcamps? Guy was genuinely retarded
1/2
People are complaining because of the Heihachi gameplay while T8 has been bad since the beginning
- Backdash almost non-existent
- braindead „offense“ based on 50/50s introduced by stances. Just run up and mash your move that does everything into 50/50. No timing needed.
"If something doesn't work for me then its bad game design."
The game is built around the challenge, Deal with it or don't play.
I'm not even a huge fan of elden ring but jesus just play it or shut the fuck up
