The trainwreck that is Tekken 8 season 2 continues unabated with the radio silence from the developers only deepening the feelings of angst and frustration from the fanbase over the state of the game.
In the midst of all this, players have taken to either putting out constructive criticisms to the game in a bid to have the developers listen and try to fix things. This is all while fans are waiting on the promised emergency patch.
Knee, one of the greatest Tekken players, has also put in his two cents, constructing a treatise talking about the issues with the game and hoping that the developers listen. He listed 9 fundamental problems which he thinks really hampers the game.
He said:
This is my opinion about S2
I would be happy if this helpful to them.
Honestly, I think the developer's idea should be different from the player. However, I think it would be nice to accept some feedback.
but I don't care if they don't listen. Tekken8 is already a negative review.
1. Combo too long and high damage
In the past, the combo was simple and short, but it wasn't fun? no it was easy to teach beginners. But now, I have to teach them the tailspin, but it's also difficult. And the tailspin is so strong that it goes in twice, and it makes the combo long. How about tailspin only once?
2. Simple Mind Games
for example Kazuya, he's main moves was weak to left ss, so high level skill is holding the axis and catch left ss, but now you don't care left ss, They added mid safe homing. Simple concepts in this way seem simple to look at, and they're less fun. Fighting games are boring if they're easy. They get bored of it early
Too many mid safe homing has been added.
It would be nice if the player had a sidestep option.
3. Heat move
Now the heat is unbalanced. Someone recover the heat bar, someone too much heat bar, someone have too much strong move in the heat. There are a lot of moves with less risk, but the rewards are big.
Just because it's a heat moves
I hope it's consistent. heat recovery is unfair.
4. Removed legacy
The legacy knowledge has been removed. air moves can't be low parry or hold move can't parry.
There are more besides this.
So we have no way to tactic with certain situations.
Did it have to be removed?
5. Too much connect stance and stance heat burst
It's making the game complicated and ridiculous.
It's looks unnatural.
dev team think players would like it?
Rather, it looks unnatural. It's an excessive change.
I think it brings a limitation of style because I only use it.
6. Too long range and too much plus frame
Characters with weapons have a very long range.
It needs to be adjusted.
Plus frame is too much when block. +7 +9 There are a lot of things like this. These things only produce selfish play. People got a lot of stress.
7. too many 50/50 situation
There are a lot of 50/50 situations after the heat engager or block +7 or +9 frame
heat engager is damage to opponent and recovery health bar. I think this is a big reward. But is there a reason to give it +17? I think it's an excessive reward. It's too forced
mid between low start frame of 50/50 is often the same. or 1~2 frame differance
It is too difficult to block this in a forced situation.
8. Chip Damage
Many players said they don't like it. but it's unlikely to change. To be honest, if T8 don't have a chip damage, we can hold out even if it's forced.
So hopefully they would reduce the chip damage even a little bit. Honestly, the chip damage is worse than 2D games.
9. The direction in which a beginner or rookie beats a veteran
I don't know why they make it with this direction, but I don't think it's gamely good.
Veterans have invested a lot of time and put a lot of effort into it. So it's a fun game to play when you increase your knowledge and learn your skills.
Actually I don't know why a veteran should have a high probability of losing to Beginner or Rookie. Isn't that contradictory?
