Tekken 8 has nerfed player skill

[hypehype]

They have made it easier to do everything.

This is Tekken training wheels £60 addition.

They lowered the barrier of entry. Not a bad thing.

The skill ceiling is still there.

How so?

Why is it bad that they made the game "easier to do everything"?

What are you insecure about?

If you lose, learn from it. We are all doing that.

I noticed that combos are easier to pull off now? Do the characters fall slower or something? I'm no pro, but I can actually think of button presses mid combo now instead of relying on muscle memory.

Fighting games need to be easier to get into. You ever heard the old phrase easy to pickup hard to master?

They removed mechanics for the game for one

There more to it than just making it easier, fighting game development it's probably one of the most difficult types of game to balance

If ease of play was that crucial " Dive Kick " would still be relevant

I love DiveKick.

I know there have been some changes-

What has changed that you don't like mechanically?

For Tekken specifically? The old fan based enjoys the more obscure aspects of the game as they become more and more stepped in the community


Why, we all had the experience of learning what learning to get up meant and terms such as Oki and as the series moves forward it will strip those things away to reach a larger market


But can it be done without alienating that original fan base?

I have no opinion just sharing my POV

I haven't played it, there is nothing I don't like about 8 and I'm enjoying watching from the sidelines a lot

Old fanbase? Bro... I am 40. I AM the OLD FANBASE. LOL

I can tell you from the short time I have played it that OKI is alive and well. There have been changes, but some characters have wild Oki traps and options. It has just changed.

Same here bro I'm 45 been playing since the first Tekken I don't get the hate seems like decent changes imo.

[👑THE STORM QUEEN👑]

There's more new Tekken fans from 7 than any previous fan base

The old fan base doesn't matter as their economic contributions to Namco pale in comparison and I'm not complaining

Just observing the evolution

@pops I'm not hating it and the response from the consumers is vastly positive


Only the farmers mostly complain

[vocab]

People say this for every tekken game. "They made throw break easier?" people scream baby game. "They nerfed BDC", people scream baby game. Look, at the end of the day its Tekken, you either like it or you don't. They shake these games up between iteration, and they will probably change it some more next patch. It's not that serious.
