Play a leroy like 20 matches in a row and you basically see what they all have. I already feel the nerfs did make Leroys a bit easier to fight the next nerf will definitely bring balance to the force lol
Rockit do you play against high rank Leroys? Leroys from Fujin and upwards are a pain in the ass. Can't get past Emperor because of all the Leroys parrying my promos
Man, Heera's Steve is just out of this world. Being a Steve main I know how hard that shit is that he's doing. It's soooo impressive, just a joy to watch.
youtube heera for more steve matches, his steve is by far the most fleshed out ive seen so far. Knee is also close, but hes a very defensive player overall and doesnt specialise on him compared to Heera.
Hope you're enjoying Steve for someone who can't even kick he's surprisingly versatile and so fun to play when you really get going with him. Nothing feels cooler than winning a match with a SWY 1 or SWY 2
Knee is not a great Steve. He is just a god tier player. Don't copy knee, he practically has the entire game frames in his head, and has movement execution better than you could hope to aquire in 5 years. Heera is better Steve to learn from, as he uses alot of the stuff Steve offers. Knee isn't a good Steve example because he can just win rounds with 5 moves.
check out choksae he's a really good one too, he gave knee quite the beating back when tekken 7 was only in arcades and asellas is another too who gave knee a good run for his money. Both are masters of the character, both are korean too but don't take the super safe approach most korean players take up.
The irony of the anti-Leroy strats, and therefor anti-Wing Chun strats, coming from Steve Fox, a boxer, is kind of perfect. For anyone that's seen Ip Man, at least.
I think you really hit a major point re the fact a lot of Leroys aren't even optimised. What we are seeing is a character winning entire tournaments using day 1 tactics. That shows you just how powerful his basics are and why he is so offputting to so many pros. Like the power ceiling on this character is pretty damn frightening and we are seeing more and more new tech with the character as time goes on. It'll be interesting to see what they do with him moving forwards. I worry the nerfs will be to the flashy stuff people post endless about and that will only expose more jank we haven't even seen yet.
One side note is that while Leroy's "power ceiling" hasn't been sorted he also his counters haven't been figured out. People don't know the match-up quite yet. With some more time his power will likely drop as more tricks and counters for his moves are figured out, which should bring him down a few pegs.
