People need to understand that Lee Chaolan is indeed a solid Tekken character however he does not benefit from heat and as a result he cannot take full advantage of the Tekken 8 meta. He is stuck playing Tekken 7 and just relies on solid neutral to come out on top while other characters can spam the most broken moves with impunity. Hopefully they can give him more tools in heat or more reward for just frame inputs.
The heat gimmick is so funny because they decided he should get meter back for just framing, but then neglected to give him a useful way to spend that meter...so what's the point? And the smash is ass
i feel like the heat system for lee is an effort to try to bridge the gap for less experienced players that have a hard time hitting just frames. However, higher skilled players already hit these just frames without heat, thus making it next to useless for them. As a dude who can never hit acid rain, this is helpful af in my gameplay but i feel like there should be wayy more reward for hitting the actual just frame in heat to make it useful for higher skilled players.
I love this explanation and I think you are right that the heat system really does benefit and bridge the gap of just frames for newer tekken players (I am one of them) but after practicing and learning them consistently legit, heat almost does nothing for me anymore except for mist trap into ff3 because everyone tries and tech rolls and dies for it. buff dmg of real just frames imo or make it so when you hit a just frame you get way more heat back for it. Really well said tho!
It's strange that the developers chose to give Lee more just frames, heat mechanics that remove the execution barrier and make it his """""gimmick""""", but a lot of them aren't that useful for being the main attraction of the heat system, as shown in the video. For me, if they really wanted to bridge the gap for new players, they would make the mist step combos easier to execute, and I think they just overestimated the power of the just frames, but that's just my opinion, though.
@@UltimateBallaPOM Yeah, I'll have to agree, that part of my comment is wild (but thank god the devs didn't make them easier, they are really satisfying to do).
I've noticed that we, as Lee players, are hard required to lab every other character because Lee doesn't have an answer for a lot of the spammy stuff or techs that others have. Any Hwoarang is ridiculous cause we have to know how to play him to big brain him, and there are some traps that are impossible to navigate without seeing it coming. I knew they always made Lee weaker than the top tiers, but keeping his execution requirements while removing the benefits feels like someone on the balancing team kept getting destroyed by Lees lmao. Great content as always, FightingGM
Bruh Hwo is trash. So is Lee, they both sit next to each other in the disposal. Just down jab after down 3/4 and react to the slow mids. Both characters are extremely punishable to the above and both have terrible lows.
@@Sugabullets he is a lot less hard to pilot than tekken 7, i dont even think he is crazy hard anymore.. personally id say hes average to pilot.. maybe above average at full potential but you dont even need his full potential unless you are super high rank
I have been telling this to people day 1 that Lee does not benefit from Heat system at all but I'm consistently talked down to, and accused of being a hard downplayer, funnily enough the people who make the accusations are the ones who think he's too OP and actually deserves some nerfs. There's a bias against Lee which has been streched for far too long, it's time that people stop being wilfully ignorant. I do my part which is familiarizing people with Lee's intricacies and impart character knowledge that I have amassed over the years playing Lee. But Alas! My endeavors are of no avail, sadly.
I've been saying this in the tekken reddit and keep getting downvoted to hell and back!! MAKE SLIDE KNOCK DOWN ON NORMAL HIT DURING HEAT BANDAI NAMCO!! AND GIVE IT ITS TEKKEN 7 TRACKING BACK!
My thing is to win consistently with Lee you have to basically galaxy brain your opponent every time meanwhile other characters spam the same few moves and watch you guess wrong. Then when you get someone who knows to just block, side step and let you press buttons first it’s hard to win.
Waiting for the “you downplaying your main comments” when im just hearing facts right out the jump lol. Talk to em GM. Also your thumbnail game doesn’t miss 😂 Edit: maybe im downplaying too lol. T8 Lee feels super linear and risky. Think f21 should have had heat. Would love if he had a guard break or more frames in heat too.
I feel like making Lee's heat good could be pretty easy and even pretty cool, by making his justframes be + on block and/or make his MS transitions + as well. It would make him a mini hwo where you're pressured to get out of his pressure or eat a bunch of chip damage, all while staying in heat due to the just frame regen. Currently he'd also likely need more justframes to make this work, like make some of his strings that end with a high have a just frame and some good alternative mid extension like his f4 string. It would also give his ms a more dedicated "offense stance" characterisric, while his hms becomes a more dedicated defense option.
i have a conspiracy theory that they wanted him to do some Iron Man shit with his cyber suit during heat at first but in the end said "nah who cares, let's leave him like this"
Lee slide - 18 frame startup. -15 in crouching if blocked. +3 on hit . 20 damage in total Law & Shaheen slide - 16 frame startup. -23 in airborne state if blocked. KD into guaranteed oki damage. 33 damage for shaheen 36 damage for law Lee slide so much weaker in comparison. Even the just frame version is only 3 more damage thats it. This is why Lee players rn just b33 all day cuz even tho they’re both launch punishable b33 is 19 frames, does more damage than regular slide, gives better frame advantage (+4),puts you into sway position( which is more versatile than being in crouch) and its simply an easier input. Slide is trash asf rn and it’s only useful for a mixup that’s it.
exactly what I've been saying.. only reason to use it is to let the opponent know you can hit them from afar. Hit them with slide a few times then fake a slide and run in to initiate some offense
@fightinggm not sure if someone has mentioned it, but you can switch stages using “Quick Select” on pause menu, and don’t have to go back to the stage menu, characters too. A lot faster
agreed with the whole video low key "1+2 simulator" is REALLL. The amount of people who side walk me online is insane, sometimes it feels so cheesy to just spam 1+2 but legit what options do I have. I don't think he is S tier by any means like lowest A tier maybe someone could argue top of B tier. Also I am a Lee downplayer so he might as well be the worst character in the game imo BUFF HIM Edit: the most TRASSSSSHHHHH HEAT SMASH legit almost zero point to even use it. Even acid rain into blazing kick does 12 more dmg... cmon bro. I actually have thought about it but is there any heat smash that is worse than Lee's? I cant find any. Last edit: Hear me out, perfect taunt while in heat gives all heat back. I think its a fair trade 😂
I'd honestly rather they kept ws2,3 - > heat burst inconsistent or even removed, but kept the heat dash follow up. It was more fun, and rewarded punishing properly
FF2 is nowhere near QCB1 that Bryan has. All that "forward advancing" stuff, that appeared in Tekken 8 is too lackluster on Lee's side. Yeah, Lee is defense reliant character, but in the end - Tekken 8 is not Tekken 7. Same gimmicks wouldnt work Edit: "B3,3 is broken, ur character is fcking cancer dude, u are just downplaying. Frfrfrfrfr wavedashing on King"
My homie plays bryan as his main so I fight him all the time qcb1 beats ff2 literally everytime as well. only in certain situations I guess I could say ff2 is better but I would say ff2 is only better if it wiffs because when you wiff ff2 and they step you its pretty tough to punish. its not impossible but its hard forsure
As a Jin main I constantly feel like the heat system was designed specifically for Jin especially in story mode, and then they just forgot they needed to add it to everyone else.
The only thing i use heat for is a WS2,3 combo extension, ff3 heat dash extension, and mist trap cause I can’t do that shit without it😂. His heat is alright. Because it helps with his confirms itll always have some use. But the just frame function of his heat falls off since as you play Lee you’ll build the muscle memory to where you wont need it for that purpose in the first place. Not the worst heat but not super great in the long run all thing’s considered
I said it before and lmk if it is too much but in heat mist step should do something special(cancle from any of his just frames maybe?) or he should be rewarded for still doing just frames in heat besides extra heat time that rn does nothing also remember when B4 had a bit of tracking if you went to Hms right away? bring that back aswell and change it around a bit(-1 again please harada)
There is one thing that should be mentioned. His df2 tracks to his weak side so it can stop step happy people cause most of the time they will not side step duck. Also for the wall combo stuff. stepping before going into hitman can realign you so that you don't go on the other side.
you know whats funny is that Lee's only saving grace, every single character already had since the game launched! If they buffed Lee's tracking and lows and give him proper/REAL heat mechanics and get his glitches fixed like the one with the rage just completely whiffing and wall combos being inconsistent Lee would be a much better character.
Lee has a lot in common with Bryan, heat is mostly a combo extender, very linear, execution and timing heavy, dumb glitches, can’t wild out like a mindless moron, has to take risks all match long, has to outplay the opponent at every instance…has to be sharp. Respect to Lee mains ✊🏼.
Heat and chip need to be removed in all honesty. Its so unbalanced for some characters and for others they just steal rounds and force unnecessary 50/50 constantly on plus and unsteppable heat specific guessing and it ruins the neuch
Hate how they made him easier to use, but harder to play -_- I do not care for the just frame heat gimmick cause people SHOULD have to learn Lee to a good extent. Moreover, knowing that other characters are easily used with nearly zero knowledge is dang frustrating. Why they hate Lee so much? Yet they proceeded to make him the most dripped out character OUTSIDE OF HIS MAIN COSTUME (Cause, seriously, who TF decided to give him that yee-yee ass battle suit and swimming goggles AS HIS MAIN OUTFIT when he has a reputation of being Fashionable af? On top of the rage art with the lil bot? I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE XD)
I agree 100% bro, i watched this video till now, and yeah Lee is really poor on so many levels, ppl need to understand that, they complain abt simple stuff like wall dmg and b3.3 while it's really easy to anticipate and counter with so many possibilites. They killed HMS u3 move, if we compare it to how much it was useful in T7 with wall bounce and everything, i wish they give'em back side step 3, make ppl duck while use the mid one and launch him as T7 screw , and heat dashes except ff3, the others r useless, most players duck 444, or ws 4.4, and he doesn't heat dashes bounce u mid air like kazuya df2.1 or uf1 paul, Claudio has low heat smash but it's trackable bcz he bring his kick from right to left, but Lee's heat smash is the same as db3 move and it's 44% hard to duck, and as u said it doesn't give much dmg, so many things abt Lee in heat r useless. I wish they can fix this, give'em more moves and more counters, and more usefulness while in heat. I want an additional stance to Lee, i know it seems like a big change, but i wish they can give'em additional stance , stance that looks for ex like 3+4+1. Tank u for the video, and i wish u good luck if u r gonna participating in events.

I would gladly give up b33 natural for slide to knockdown and/or track again. It helped so much t9 get people to stop stepping at range so i could at least dash in and poke. I agree with heat. Why are we building up our heat to spend on besides just some chip on block and one good mid launcher with ws2,3 into ff3 heat dash?
in terms of the whole opponents stepping issue i think b1,1 just frame is insanely underrated, its i14 and is almost completely homing, has god tier range and high mid hit confirmable into knockdown or wallsplat, not hard to get the just frame too, and only -5. for the heatsmash yeah the tracking and being launch punishable is too much imo, should be -14 and tracks more to ur right, most if not every character has a great 14f punish now and a lot more have launching 14f punishes so only some match ups would be really risky, that would be a lot more fair imo
@@fightinggm just tested some stuff to see if im bugging, its semi hit confirmable, u cant delay the third hit ofc but u can confirm after the first two hits landing and then press 2, hard to confirm but it is definitely semi hit confirmable its 14f not sure what u mean about it being 15f lol, yes its a high but mid natural follow up thats only -5 on block, ss duck isnt really going to work against it. its similar to leos f2, leo notoriously having bad tracking can use it to right down people stepping to the right, with natural follow ups too, only leos natural follow ups are a high or unsafe mid, lees just frame b11 is similar to how leos would use f2 in a sense and tested the tracking again and yes it tracks insanely well to lees weak side, with the second hit even at least clipping lili side walking but it also tracks inconsistently to people stepping right which is still something but regardless people who know the match up will get caught by this move if theyre stepping to the left, and in most instances people wont bother to step right as much with how much of his tools track towards that side. so i dont really see how lee doesnt have a good tool to shut down stepping towards the left unless im missing something. but still u are a lee master lol so idk
shaheens df 4,1,2 string drops a lot before wouldn’t miss now you have to do this weird delay to finish a combo with it especially if it’s at the tail end of the combo
Totally disagree about this opinion on Lee, and believe me i know what I'm saying i have like 1000 matches against Lee, as my friend plays him and we play quite frequently. As a Claudio player i struggle against Lee low attacks. Before Tekken 8 his HMS 4 was staggered on block, now is -14 on block. And not a single low attack he has is staggered on block. not a single one. And look on how many he has. B+3,3, yes launchable if you block the first hit, but no stagger, FC DF+4, HMS4, DB+3+4, DB+3, D+3 is exactly 15F and Claudio's WS2 is exactly 15 frame, if you miss a quarter of a second on that punish you are -14. So how come there are characters like Kazuya who get staggered on hellsweep and Lee gets away with absolutely all of his lows? Yes some characters have launching -14 f ws punisher, but claudio doesn't. The only option i have is to go for FC DF+2,1+2 which is very hard to do and the reward is not a combo, but just gain of starburst.
Lee is trash Hwo is trash How either set of mains keep playing is beyond me. I think both of them are terrible and I mained them both. Why play them when you can just use a mishima and instawin with free electrics and better lows 🧐
Even ppl like arslan ash think Lee is b tier and gm made a whole vid explaining why Lee is dookie and yall still don’t listen. Stop being ignorant and accept the facts
Lets talk about Lees wall to wall combo's that never stop and u can get for basically free. This alone makes him S tier. I dont understand trying to defend a broken character. He doesnt even need heat. He walls to walls like chris brown
there are a pretty good amount of characters in the game with wall to wall combos though not really seeing how that would make him S tier alone either t7 lars would like to have a word with you
I wish lee was as op as people say he is.

for the heatsmash yeah the tracking and being launch punishable is too much imo, should be -14 and tracks more to ur right, most if not every character has a great 14f punish now and a lot more have launching 14f punishes so only some match ups would be really risky, that would be a lot more fair imo
B11 tracks to lees weak side. It isn't homing or hit conformable lol and it's a 15 frame high
@@fightinggm just tested some stuff to see if im bugging, its semi hit confirmable, u cant delay the third hit ofc but u can confirm after the first two hits landing and then press 2, hard to confirm but it is definitely semi hit confirmable
its 14f not sure what u mean about it being 15f lol, yes its a high but mid natural follow up thats only -5 on block, ss duck isnt really going to work against it.
its similar to leos f2, leo notoriously having bad tracking can use it to right down people stepping to the right, with natural follow ups too, only leos natural follow ups are a high or unsafe mid, lees just frame b11 is similar to how leos would use f2 in a sense
and tested the tracking again and yes it tracks insanely well to lees weak side, with the second hit even at least clipping lili side walking but it also tracks inconsistently to people stepping right which is still something but regardless people who know the match up will get caught by this move if theyre stepping to the left, and in most instances people wont bother to step right as much with how much of his tools track towards that side. so i dont really see how lee doesnt have a good tool to shut down stepping towards the left unless im missing something. but still u are a lee master lol so idk
@@Chaoblahippo yeah fairs but it’s still possible technically, regardless even just jf b11 is strong high mid good range tracks a lot
shaheens df 4,1,2 string drops a lot before wouldn’t miss now you have to do this weird delay to finish a combo with it especially if it’s at the tail end of the combo
sorry typo df4,1,3 the 1 and 3 will whiff unless you delay it they supposedly fixed the hitbox or whatever but it’s worse somehow in combo
Great video, Thanks for your hard work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hope Lee will get buffed 🥺
At least we have the best 10f punish in the game
Totally disagree about this opinion on Lee, and believe me i know what I'm saying i have like 1000 matches against Lee, as my friend plays him and we play quite frequently. As a Claudio player i struggle against Lee low attacks. Before Tekken 8 his HMS 4 was staggered on block, now is -14 on block. And not a single low attack he has is staggered on block. not a single one. And look on how many he has. B+3,3, yes launchable if you block the first hit, but no stagger, FC DF+4, HMS4, DB+3+4, DB+3, D+3 is exactly 15F and Claudio's WS2 is exactly 15 frame, if you miss a quarter of a second on that punish you are -14. So how come there are characters like Kazuya who get staggered on hellsweep and Lee gets away with absolutely all of his lows? Yes some characters have launching -14 f ws punisher, but claudio doesn't. The only option i have is to go for FC DF+2,1+2 which is very hard to do and the reward is not a combo, but just gain of starburst.
That's cause u don't move and have no defense the stuff u explaining has nothing to do with lee and just that u can't block well
R.i.p 😢
E Kaori da
Lee is trash
Hwo is trash
How either set of mains keep playing is beyond me.
I think both of them are terrible and I mained them both.
Why play them when you can just use a mishima and instawin with free electrics and better lows 🧐
Another day another downplay 🎉
Another day a other dumb ass comment
Even ppl like arslan ash think Lee is b tier and gm made a whole vid explaining why Lee is dookie and yall still don’t listen. Stop being ignorant and accept the facts
@@sxcaars__6563 even gm didn’t say he was dookie, now you’re actually downplaying and putting words in gm’s mouth lmao
@@fightinggm thanks for adding to the pile
@@MildCrisp gm made a tier list and literally put Lee in b tier. Use ur brain here
Lets talk about Lees wall to wall combo's that never stop and u can get for basically free. This alone makes him S tier. I dont understand trying to defend a broken character. He doesnt even need heat. He walls to walls like chris brown
there are a pretty good amount of characters in the game with wall to wall combos though
not really seeing how that would make him S tier alone either
t7 lars would like to have a word with you
Yea everyone can do that . So to say a character is s tier cause of that IA dumb
@fightinggm no they can't not like lee for free Fighting gm. It's ok. He's just broken it's no big deal. But when u see people rage quitting that's y
@@Chaoblahippo ive played a tekken emperor lee. Without heat I was at the wall no matter what combo he did
@praisemidir u have a point there but guess what? Lee does it better!
