(World Tour) Why am I doing so little damage?

[pho_kko]

Doing the Lowlands arena right now and this ♥♥♥♥ is so annoying how a single grab does 5000 to me and my full jump in combo does 800. I'm enhancing, using food buffs, spending skill points, using items, what am I missing?

Lmao welcome to the wall because I just ran into it.

[Lintaur]

Yeah, this is something I've noticed along with other people. The NPCs/Boss fights/Tournaments seem strangely over tuned. Like no reason to invest in the skill tree over tuned. There's no reason why my level 40 character should be doing barely any damage to another lv 40 character while their light kick or light punch ect takes off a huge chunk of health. Using Juri's move set, I did a 15 hit combo and it didn't even take 1/4th of their health bar off.

[Cheezie]

Because this game works on 2k games WWE rules...You do no damage and the CPU does a ton of damage. You can do 10x 3 hit combos but just one of the CPUs 3 hit combo will do the same damage. This game mode is a massive disappointment with it's faux difficulty.

Yea level 30 AI has like 10000+ more health than me on the same level and does more damage and I have no idea how to increase mine lol.

Switching to Classic controls helped me kinda clear the gap but yeah I feel like it's really weird how the difficulty just spikes outta nowhere and nothing you do level or clothing wise really helps.

So I am going to guess that even with modern in WT you get the 20% debuff?

I was able to clear it last night, spent an hour brainlessly doing minigames to buy heals and just brute-forced my way through the finale, absolutely joyless experience but at least it's over now.

Yes for specials/auto combos, but you can do some classic motions on the Modern setting and you won't get the debuff. I'd still recommend Classic for anyone with a little bit of experience, though.

The MC is ridiculously OP once you lab them out a bit. There are a couple near-infinites using just Luke and Chun's specials alone. For a lower execution barrier, players are just meant to grind lower level enemies, especially those with enhanced Style XP rewards.

Wait until the next tournament. It's brutal. 1 grab does about 55% of my health on the first fight. And there are 4 + a boss. If you choose to give up at any point, you have to start all the way over 💀

[Cheezie]

So I finished it hours ago...go to every "fly to that world" and buy the permanent upgrade from each merchant in each world. Grind, grind, and grind group fights. Make sure to buy the best gear you can and enhance it. Spend your skill points on stat boosts and more skills. I honestly started to hate it once I had to deal with the grind every other main mission.

Im hating it right now... Fighting someone the same level as you or slightly higher is them doing 120% more damage... But the game won't show us their stats which has to be in 600 to 1000's based on how much damage they are doing..

I'll just wait until they fix the game or modders re-balance it for Capcom cause it's ridiculous.

Late game andore lv 70+ are so much fun, they 2 shot you full gear + 20k hp and you have to grab them 50times per round (with the lv5 manon grab)

Yea I am just going to chill and stop playing until modders or capcom fixes that lmao...

[TyresTyco]

I thought it was a good tutorial at first for people like me who only played a lil bit sf on some arcade machine decades ago. But I'm also now arriving at these ridiculously balanced garbage fights.

The first one imho is the side quest for zangief. One grab, half of the hp gone.. one grab from me.. only like 1/10. That said.. I mostly ignored farming until now. Probably their way to tell me to waste more time.

[Haibara]

its a really ♥♥♥♥ balance system but if you use items that give you "Incoming Damage Cut" buff it will cut their damage down by upto half
