When are the nerfs? How long will Dragunov and King players be carried?

[99xvkJe66]

AfroSenju, random youtuber first time tekken player is reaching Fujin by just spamming Dragunov's powercrush when opponent tries to attack, the same low attack and heat smash (and he never rematches lol) what is this cringe with all the power crush abuse?, rarely any combos due to the insane damage. Another one who has some experience granted but still equally stupid reached purple ranks with king doing the same exact stuff. That's it. Average Tekken 8 gameplay everyone. Oh and throw spamming. Had some moron on discord telling me the other players are bad (sure they might be for even attempting to attack this powercrush spammer but still doesn't make the spammer the better player LOL), but well turns out he's just another Dragunov main, makes sense. It seems today there is no such thing as "skill". Tekken is completely dead. You just pick top tiers, spam abuse certain attacks, get high rank, that's it.
Remember in Tekken 7 when your rank actually meant that is your skill level? Yeah me too.

It is making me so sick that these characters will still receive very few nerfs or almost none.
But I guess these 2 characters is for people who wanna think they're good when they aren't.

Also what's up with some new garbage like Jin's d2? I literally reached flame ruler just now, was there already 2 weeks ago mighty ruler by trolling and mixing attacks with it by the name "AverageJinScrub", truly amazing game balance.

Why does powercrush even exist anyway? We already have rage art and heat nonsense, why you need this too? To be abused randomly to oblivion by certain overpowered characters?

Someone who owns the game should make guide with these on how to reach tekken god easily:

Fujin was a serious rank in T7. If you reached Fujin in T7 you 100% had alot of character and matchup knowledge. it took me 1000 hours with AK to reach fujin.

I've seen AfroSenju play. He just presses the overtuned drag moves. He doesn't duck any strings, sidestep anything, break any throws has no backdash, No defense. Just presses throws, ff2, d2, hatchet, b1+2.

The thing is there is no real way to beat the drag blender except step wr2 and duck certain strings. if drag puts you in that basic blender in this game you can rob anyone tbh.

I don't know, Fujin was pretty free in T7 as well.

it's not the same. a player like him wouldn't be in there.

Harada would say he's not OP. His spreadsheets show different distribution per ages what players find too strong or too weak.

For AfroSenju, just check how cringe his recent matches are, power crush, power crush power crush, that's the gameplay. If you follow him on Tekken 8. Find him in Battle Ruler leaderboards, scroll down in the middle he's there. Go to online replays and see yourself or his youtube videos of him playing dragunov. It's pure CRINGE. And the guy thinks he's good, quite the ego.

I am putting Alisa and Nina to honest category, I changed my mind, they play well most of them and fair, sure chainsaws this, and a bit string spam but nothing like the players who play Dragunov and King, it's like all they think is the easy win, 0 effort, f these characters. Same goes for BungaZucena who might be even worse than any other character if played best just like Feng.
And at least Xiaoyu requires some "skill" to learn.

dragunov and devil jin need serious nerfs they are too op. other top tiers are not nearly as bad

[99xvkJe66]

Anyone stuck below red rank, depending on your character just use special style spam, anything it has, it will get you free wins. Ofc you aint gonna learn the game properly but if you wanna win, why not? Most don't know how to deal with it. Tekken 8 low level ranked everyone. New players using special style having advantage over other new players. And that's a fact. Even mainmanswe struggled against a special style Jin.

I truly question the developers thought process.
I mean if you are a genius, using special style you can reach mighty ruler guaranteed.

welcome to tekken 8 scrub carry edition

I think that we should get a balance patch in about 2-3 weeks (April) when the new DLC character comes out.

But yes, some characters are completely broken unfortunately. It is not all bad though, it is like 5-6 of them that should be addressed, because most of the cast is actually okay IMO.

I never lost against a special style user. Granted, they are really rare at Kishin upwards.

Yeah pretty much, best to have another golden thread about it maybe the developers wake up but I doubt it. I am enjoying tekken 7 more. I thought Tekken 7 had issues but wow I didn't expect Tekken 8 to be like this, so scrubby. Is this Murray's vision?

T8 is the worst experience I’ve had with Tekken besides TTT2 (which I actually liked). I never got upset from losing in T7, but losing in T8 is a different story.

Only by save scumming it was easy or by plugging. Some characters might have advantage due to not knowing matchup but again not easy in my experience. It was really difficult. Here in a few weeks already Fujin and above, maybe less for some.
