Bruce was an absolute monster...with that low parry capability...he could simply launch any opponent using df2 or hop kick. You missed his (CH)f4 which in follow up gives access to b4 4 4 string as combo. You also missed his (CH)b1 and (CH)ss1.
Everyone with a hopkick could lowparry into hopkick most low kicks in Tag 1. And this was toned down from T3's low parry (the characters that had a low parry in T3 at least) the frame advantage you would get was even more insane in T3. Nina could low parry into Divine Cannon (db+3+4 launcher) for instance
@@Leadblast Not everyone...I remember trying hard to hop kick using mishimas, panda/kuma, Jacks...for mishimas I started using ewgf+tag to launch and for jack 3 I used (d+2+4) crouch throw. Jacks hop kicks were kinda slow.
@@Dreadnaugh7Classbruh the Mishimas don't have hopkicks, only Heihachi and Angel/Devil had straight up hopkick, the u+4 version (which btw was safer on block than uf+4 because of pushback) but why would you use their u+4 with them having twin pistons and WGF is beyond me
@@Leadblast well actually I tried hopkicks using mishima only first day, the next day I figured wgf+tag will launch them and it did...so didn't tried hopkick after that...and bro do you know...? Hwoarang had something else...my main was Jin+Hwrng...so..after hwrng's low parry...using df2 used to give enough frames for dash f df+4 launch or ff+4 and follow up. I used to consume their 70% of health with just low parry lol .
Bring back, Bruce, Eddy, Christie, Ganryu, Roger Jr/Alex and Lei for Tekken 8. More OG for Tekken 8.Forget Faku, Akuma, Geese, Noctis, Lucky Chloe, etc.
The play to unlock is so fucking true. Back then with no internet connection, console ports needed to have strong single player content to justify the price. We had team battle, survival, treasure battle, Tekken force just to name a few that have come and gone in Tekken history. And because unlocks needed to be satisfying, the AI had to be difficult to overcome (though devs often relied on cheating to do that for a lot of fighting games) Tekken 7 had really disappointing offline modes, and I think several devs expected most people to be playing online anyway. I'm hoping Tekken 8 won't just bring back the single player content but improve on the AI too. And please, bring back ghost data. It is really fun fighting players with habits, because it allows you to learn how to deal with moves in a match rather than in training mode alone. Broken Destiny on the PSP had 200 ghost data with really specific AI. Lol I went on a rant there
tekken 8 ai will definitely be better cuz of the new adaptive ai. fighting a ghost of yourself will progressively get harder as the ai will keep learning your habits.
@@KarlKognition meant it as a general statement. Definitely not implying anyone here do that of course. Plus it's a rant. The detailing in sentence structure gets lost in a rant
Right? I'm skipping out on tekken this year roster doesn't interest me all my Mains are either dlc or I don't feel like playing them paul being one of them but he feels so similar to t7 so probably gonna sit this game out maybe when marduk gets added possibly will buy his combos are gonna be insane
Hopefully Bruce comes back and maybe have a rivalry with Fakumram to see who is the better Muay Thai fighter. It’s been awhile since we last saw him and would like to see the progression of the character.
Yeah bruce was fucking a god boss in this game. His safe launcher strings was to be feared because it meant losing a character if you got hit by it again.
When i first started playing tekken in the arcades for real which started with tekken tag.... i picked ogre because he reminded me of cell from dbz my fav char and hei because everyone in the arcade whored him out so i knew he was good.... but after playing and getting smashed over and over i realized in order to catch up that i was gonna play true ogre too since him and ogre have basically the same moveset with some diff and everyone in the arcade at that time told me not do because of bruce lol. i did it anyway and def ate that combo in the vid multiple times but playing double ogre was so worth it lol
Wonderful in what sense? His T5 rework gave him a lot of new moves but took most of his cheese away. It's similar to what they did with Ogres or Angel in TTT2
Bruce was so cool he was my preferred partner for Julia even though a lot of people used Michelle with her. His CH d/f+1,2 and b,f+4 were nasty launchers. Respect cheese knees.
keep Fahkumram as the original Muay Thai character switch Bruce from Muay Thai to Kickboxing switch Bryan from Kickboxing to Street Brawling and remove that pilipina character completely for good = the perfect way to switch characters to their fitting styles and keep them all three together without style conflict
Combos like that are why there's a slight divide in the top tiers. True Ogre took monster combos, Heihachi and Michelle had no health that knocked them down slightly.

@@fustiancorduroy Julia and Anna had 151 like most of the guys. Julia was the only female without a backflip which was actually a huge plus as she could safe tag cancel.
Could you do more than just repeat the exact same input five or six times in a row? At most twice is enough! If you want to show it again, follow up with something else. Do that instead of just adding crappy filler to your video.
twice is not enough dude I have to do at least 3 times so that people can read the info and then look at the clip without it and i don't think anyone except you have a problem with it kindly speed up the video to 2x that will make it quicker
he should have been in Tekken 7. a shame he was replaced by some pilipina crybaby. Id hope he will come back in 8 but that clown Harada is too busy adding dolls and bears to the roster
@@CapSodaPop I think devil and Bruce team would be good. As Bruce is typically a rushdown or couterhit player and devil is broken as hell with 20 more health and devil can also be used as a turtle with good whiff punishment capability.

haha yes
Until T5 lol
We need Bruce back for Tekken 8. He was perfect as Kazuya's right-hand man.
so true
Yep. Him and Anna were the perfect villain choices to side with Kazuya. Even though Bruce gave “good guy” energy but Anna was always a villain to me.

@@Kortifex nah chief, at least try Feng, play the campaign, or the tekken force. It's not that bad.
Likewise! We need him back for T8 with these new graphics and mechanics
I highly suggest you categorize your content with different playlists.
Like combos, character analysis, playthoughs, differences between games...
Thanks for the suggestion bro
So so true I remember him! Very cool char and excellent combo helper 💪
Awesome video as always man, bravo 👏👏
Ah, we miss you, Bruce.
When Bruce was on the juice. USADA got his ass between Tag 1 and Tekken 5.
Hopefully Bruce comes back and maybe have a rivalry with Fakumram to see who is the better Muay Thai fighter. It’s been awhile since we last saw him and would like to see the progression of the character.
I miss the GOLDEN DAYS of Unlocking characters
same
Yeah bruce was fucking a god boss in this game. His safe launcher strings was to be feared because it meant losing a character if you got hit by it again.
This vid reminds me of those tekken revisited vids by TMM but prerecorded with better pacing
Whats the input for that punch parry anyways?
This was my main back then Bruce and Bryan. Damn I miss this game! There's so much more to talk about with Bruce as well.
Since they brought back raven instead of master raven, let’s hope they do the same with Josie for Bruce
ttt1 actually goated
Bruce’s df1,2 was Devil Kazuya’s twin pistons and Heihachi’s df1,2 on steroids. And it was even safer on block being only -2 on block. 😎

good old times :(
I don't think we're ever going to get him back bc of how his movelist was split across so many characters, but it would be cool nonetheless
No wonder b+4,3,4 used to be known as "Cheese Knees".
haha I see
And it took all red bar damage for zero effort 😁
Man i thought bruce is in Tekken 8 bc of thumbnail
i hope they bring him back for t8, hes the only character i want back.
Thats one reason kazuya hired him on gcorp
I Hope he will be back in tekken 8 !!
Damn he really enjoyed a wonderful redesign in T5
but he was trash
Wonderful in what sense? His T5 rework gave him a lot of new moves but took most of his cheese away. It's similar to what they did with Ogres or Angel in TTT2
Jeez
Bruce's stance implies he should teep and kick more than he does. Overall though this is the best character in the game
I started playing seriously on Tekken 6, glad I never played what came before because all these pre-6 Tekken games seem awfully balanced.
haha yes
Horrible balance but very fun as we were learning all the crazy tech.
You forgot counter hit 1~4, 3. That shit destroyed spammers.
We need Fahkumram in TK8 because he was beating everybody like he was a boss fight
I want him as well
@@mwkan772 they low key trying to take us Muaythai fighters out of the game bruh

Respect cheese knees.
CH 3,2,1 into triple cheese. Those were the days 😅 oh and remember when you tried to punish his 3,2,1 only to get hit by the 4 at the end 😂
Ima have to emulate this game on my rog ally I'll have to be stuck in the past I won't accept bruce being replaced by 3 ppl dedicated main
Just snagged a physical copy of this game
Was wondering who to mess around with... i think i just found my answer 🎉
Mess around with what?
@@KarlKognition
Probably meant which character to play with
@@UltimateBallaPOM Ah, I misread the sentence.
so he hadd everything...
I
Loved Bruce Roger they take all my favs away
Side note the ancient orge unblockable was Bruce’s
Twin piston 33 b434 on t5 was so good idk if it worked here
Bring Bruce Irvin back in Tekken 8, then Fahkumram next so we can have another great rivalry to watch between characters! 😉
let's hope for the best ^^
The era if play-to-unlock won't work in our day and age.
It was nice for it's time, but im glad we moved on from it.
True chad of the Tekken. Not silly as Josie straight up alpha.
Facts
Any combo hits greater than 7 in any Tekken game before T6 is impressive for me
CH 3,2,1 was everyone’s worst nightmare back in the original Tag game. I used to main Bruce and Bryan. I miss the arcade scene.
Julia and Michelle could hit 7 elbows 8 on big characters 😛
3:45
AAWW AAARR... AAWW AAARR, AAWW AAARR , AAWW AAARR, AAWW AAARR
:D
He was also stupidly easy
I wonder if we will ever go back to i8 moves
i don't think so haha
maybe a dlc character who knows :p
@@mwkan772 The moment they make i8 a DLC exclusive feature, I quit the game

Is that even Bruce in the thumbnail 😂
yes
Holy smokes its akuma
haha
And then he was nerfed to the ground in tekken 5. I miss Bruce
indeed
ez combo and 117 DMG wow
Combos like that are why there's a slight divide in the top tiers. True Ogre took monster combos, Heihachi and Michelle had no health that knocked them down slightly.
