    it’s almost like a character can change in a new game and it takes time to learn it
    edit: Felt bad about being a bit too sarcastic and negative for my liking. Wanted to offset it with positivity, because it sounded like I could have been attacking tmm. I really appreciate the time tmm takes to learn and share all the new tech and with the new kazuya. Tmm was the reason why I wanted to pick up Kazuya in the first place, and I learn a lot from his videos. As such I was a bit disheartened that he seemingly wrote off the character so quickly in T8. I’m glad that he still stuck with him, and, after finding some of the depths of Kazuya’s new move set, I’m glad he’s coming around to him. I may have been a bit snarky, but I do appreciate the help he’s given to kazuya fans like me.

Not just Main Man with his character Kazyua but others had similar thoughts on Jin, King ect. Their fist impressions is 100% valid but like his opinion he can later change it.

      In the beta he was bottom 3. Now he got nerfed since the beta. What makes you think it's overreacting?
      Mainman just got told to shut up by bandai. He won't be playing kazuya. 100% it's not gonna be his main. It's just fun to use him in a demo with Jin and Nina. So between Paul and kazuya, of course it's kazuya. But in the full game there's no reason to use him, especially against players rather than braindead bots.

      @odatai1425 for sure! It takes a ton of muscle memory practice. If you are getting while rising attacks you aren't putting in enough forward inputs before using your attack input. It should be 3,1 hold down/forward and when you notice the crouch dash animation tap forward 2 times. If you are trying to going into df1, df2 after make sure you hold down the last forward and then slide into down forward and simultaneously hit 1. I would go into the rage art tutorial stage and practice it and do it over and over again without doing it in a combo until you can chain it back to back, same goes for the 3,1 cancel into 3,1. For 3,1 into 3,1 after the last forward input make sure you are in neutral before going back into 3,1. It'll get easier just requires a ton of practice I spent well over 20 hours practicing and can do it on both sides like 90 to 100% of the time now lol

    Despite what people may say, I don't think TMM is some "bad" person for wanting to protect the genuine investment they've had in Tekken's long history. People can respond with "Why do you care so much what happens in a videogame?". But they're just being disingenuous, they all participate in social structures where status matters. They just would like to disguise themselves more morally than others. Using noble words such as "equality" to disguise their bid for attention and dominance. The passive aggressiveness and outrage of "casuals" more tyrannous than the "elitists" they claim to hate are always eternally present in these sorts of games.

    • @walmartian422
      @walmartian422 ปีที่แล้ว

      I just respond with "Why do you care that I care? Clearly something I said upset you? Do you feel targeted?" Because honestly the people with those opinions do feel personally attacked and they are essentially advocating for the dumbing down of a legacy game series. I would feel the same way if someone just started changing the rules of football, soccer, boxing, chess, etc. to appeal to a more casual demographic. Whenever these changes occur it's always a net negative in the long run. There is no point in appealing to the type of person that is going to play the game for 1 month then drop it. Fromsoftware is doing the right thing and so are Bandai Namco. These are hard games they are not intentionally appealing to people that are going to go into this with alot of gaming related disadvantages there are hundreds of games for people that aren't mechanically inclined. Casuals also are not totally invested in dumbing down games they don't go into mortal kombat for example and try to learn all the moves and the hardest combos then cry when they can't do certain things they go in and want to see flashy shit and they want to see fatalities, GET OVER HERE, and dick punches that's it. I guarantee the majority of people advocating for the gimping of game systems are the people that simply do not want to put the work in they are the type of people that just want instant gratification and they want to be validated. They want to log on and see tekken god prime next to their username without putting the true effort needed to actually earn that title which just devalues everyone's experience.

    I know Tmm doesn't like ff2 but i really do and that's one of the move i was so envious when we were still playing T7 couple of years ago.
    Demon paw was at the top of my wishlist aswell as T7 story "kind of laser scraper"
    Basically it looks a little bit like Devil jin's laser scraper but instead he does it with df2,1,2 in the story mode of T7.
    Obviously the move would be busted as it is so i wasn't expecting nor wishing the move to be exactly brought to T8 just like that.
    I just like the move sequence so after seeing Kaz heat smash i REALLY wish that was instead that sequence, being a triple mid string of some sort.
    Maybe kind of like Jin heat smash, where if you simply press heat smash Kazuya does df2,1 ewgf into laser beam animation.
    If you hold forward+2 he instead does df2,1,2 animation where he pushes you the wall.
    That would've have been sick as fuck

  • @CallousCyclone
    @CallousCyclone ปีที่แล้ว +5

    feel like the 3,1~ cancels were overlooked so I'll say it here, they are 'clunky' you only need to do df3,2 after to see why...
    proof being the game hard cancels your input if you attempt df3,2 after the CNT changes BUT still reads the directional input thus when you hit '2' you will find yourself doing dickjabs and even ws2. This is why I'd say the opposite is true of their intent for the combo route. They hard blocked you from ever wanting to attempt it.
    IMO they removed this before they considered removing the orignal heat combos that it was demonstrated in and so he got double nerfed to the ground combo optimisation wise.
    I can land 2x EWGF 1243 b2,1 fairly happily and staple it in most 5/4 bar connections in 7 including vs wifi.
    But doing this new combo, even offline, is way more 'clunky' and will be a massive hurdle when online as you're fighting a combo that has a form of pewgf timing in it.
    *Best Example Being*
    The TTT2 (Kazuya / Jinpachi) Demon God Fist tag cancel into bound which you said at the time back in Kaz/Jinpachi 4 iirc that ''it is only for Gods'' to even attempt.
    The timing is as clunky as that and making it a staple for every EWGF launch is pretty preposterous since the nerf was already uncalled for to begin with. Until it's reverted I'd say they 100% do not want you to be doing this combo route as they have done everything they could to make it as jank as possible to deter you from ever wanting to try.

      Exactly. Smfh it doesn’t help that TMM uses extremely strong trigger words like “broken” and “trash” when he describes characters and moves as well.

      I thought the word 'broken' was reserved for moves like Steve's infinite in t5 or jins jf bf2,1,df2 in t4, moves with unintended exploits. or a character like Akuma in t7 who doesn't play the rules of the game. It just makes no sense

And made want to play him even more and yes he didn't have some valid points about Kazuyas nerfs like removing df1, 4 I definitely feel like they gave him so much more for the player to entertain themselves will when using Kazuya.

    the stuff that MMSWE initially disliked so much are a double edged sword -- lowered barrier to entry but (more importantly) thing that were a little more fair to the character. it gives one pride to use a difficult character well, like in tekken 7, but part of his "difficulty" was that they had him in a crappy position with lacking certain tools completely and then also being clunky/inconsistent -- which was not the case with more successful characters

    For me I've always liked kazuya and wanted to pick him up but because of how difficult he was to use effectively without grinding and spending alot of effort or otherwise you end up suffering with him in the game. I didn't end up picking the character that grabbed my attention the most and I thought I liked the most. I loved that he had a high skill ceiling that only made me wanna play him more. But suffering when trying to play him online sure as hell didn't. But now with the direction Namco is moving him I'm very inclined to try to pick him up again

      Do you mean crouch dash/ wave dash? In a crouch dash, if you do Forward + a move you can do "FF" inputs during it.
      So during wavedash you can do FF+2 by doing F+2.
      If you mean mist step like just tapping forward once, I believe that is the same as a sidestep, you can just cancel it by moving in any way.

    -DB2 should knock down, its so usless just forcing crouch, on heihachi would have been good, but kaz doesnt have a super good fullcrouch game so, also he kinda lacks power mid in T8 and his splatting db2 into ff4 is kinda needed
    - df1 still sucks, i know tmm found a better combo route that makes it consistent, but it kinda kills expression as you have only 2 routes, the double electric TMM combo or a scrub 3,1,4 combo no real in-between. Also kaz just also kaz kinda still misses a df1 now? Like every character has a normal df1 (13f +7ish on hit -2ish on block) and characters that dont have it trade it for a variation of said tool, like pauls df1 into sway or kaz old df12 knockdown into ff4 for 50ish dmg. In tekken 8 he has nothing? Like i know df12 is now a heat engager and df14 hives you frames, but they are both highs, block, duck and launch, you can in theory mix it up with Df1df2 but does like 15 dmg and thats it, oh wow so scary, and the opponent doenst even HAVE to take the mix. Maybe either incresing the dmg, giving better reward or making df1 like -3 on block and 14 frames would be better (also alone it does 11 damage wth)
    -cd44 can we get an increase in dmg and maybe make it like d.jins ch44, doing true dmg while resetting to neutral, actually haveing a reason to use it
    Other than that T8 kaz is actually pretty fun, iunno how good he'll eventually be, but hes fun
