Wish they would tone down the juggling

Yeah I know its a tekken thing, but if you already hit the ground they shouldnt be launching you in the air again, and with that you need to have some way of defending yourself over it instead of just sitting there wondering why gravity is retarded in this world.

[breast milk🥛]

Yeah and the worst part is theres nothing you can do, they can just juggle you all the way into the wall, and you won't be able to block or roll out of it again unless they mess up and drop it.

that's why i don't like tekken much , in sf6 or mt1 you can escape

Its such an idiotic thing that once you hit the ground you can go back up. Tekken is supposed to be difficult so combos should be less forgiving as well. Oh well its all for the Esports viewing i guess.

Now i dont really have much faith in Harada and the man doesnt seem to know what hes doing. Constant pressure from certain characters, some who can reach accross the entire screen with ease to launch you into yet another high damage juggle fest.

The game is fun, but its not what i really wanted for Tekken moving fowards. Feel like its losing its identy one title at a time.

I will say im having a blast with the game so far, but the juggling, even when im the one doing it all im thinking is how silly it is

If you're getting launched repeatedly, you're doing something wrong.

Why are people mad about combos in fighting games in 2024? What fighting games are you guys playing where you can't do combos?

[Noobc0re]

Tekken is just glorified hacky sack. It's literally what the game revolves around.

[Badman*Kazuya]

I think T8 will be devisive., A lot of people will love it but many are gonna be put off by the ott juggling and cheap mechanics.

Did anyone complain about combos? Or are we complaining about how poorly implemented it is? Instead in this game, most characters have cheap moves that pretend to go low, then hit high, and blocking it just becomes luck at that point. I've actually had better luck when forget to react, and a seemingly low blow suddenly gets blocked by my standing block. But then you do get stuck in a juggle, and by the time you're able to react, you're 1 hit away from death. It's for this exact reason that Street Fighter makes it so that extended combos do much less damage. Tekken just ends up feeling extremely cheap rathers than skill

none of the people in steam discussions actually have any fighting game fundamentals ignore them all

[Taba]

just dont get launched idiota

[crusay]

Hey Taba thats a fantasic bit of advice you gave me. I understand now. In a fighting game prevent getting hit. Gotcha........God I wish I thought of that?

[Seraph]

get better at not getting hit then lol

[Toods]

Juggling was worse in T7. I think it's in a great place right now, awarding roughly 30% of opponents health if you have the execution.
Play the game enough, and you'll realize that 30% is NOT free. It's hard landing launchers on better players, and you'll get punished to death for using launchers carelessly.

Just played an unranked vs king. Man i wish he would just die already like his predecessor. The sooner hes not in Tekken the better. Absolute nooblet of a character. He has never or will ever be a credible character to use. Constant cheapness with the new aggression system.

I would love to know what happened in the boardroom when planning T8 because they should of layed of the Sake the night before.

While fun, the character balancing is abismal, But hey, they have our money now. Enjoy Steve spamming you in the face constantly with almost no gaps between strings, King taking off half your health with two buttons and Law cartwheeling you into the corner over and over again.
