Good idea to increase hp?

More opportunities to handle the unga bunga ooga ooga players

Bad idea, the core problem of coin flips will still be there, it just takes more flips to win. They need to nerf frames and heat to make the game less bunga, not increase the life bar.

Yes I agree, this game has 3 types of people, Gimmicky players, People who wanna get good, and Button Smashers. This game is being catered to the very people who bought it said "Nah I don't like this game and stopped playing it"

Every character has constant 50/50's and some that are just stupidly put together. Heat in a perfect world needs to be diminished to just the Heat Dash and buffed versions of moves. The Heat Smash and Engagers are such a plague to Tekken, They interrupt the flow way too much and just get you into a mind set to keep mashing.

I truly love Tekken, but if this franchise keeps heading into a direction of mindless button mashing coin flips with one button movies that have super armor and do 40% of your life. I really don't see people sticking around for much longer.

I think the heat dash is the worst offender, honestly. Heat burst, just remove the god tier tracking and it's fine. Heat smash, i also mostly find ridiculous on certain characters. Tune it down a bit for the problematic ones and it's generally fine.

The dash though? Just do a bunga move and zoom zoom here's a free panic 50/50!

But i think a general issue in T8 over older games is that some moves just get way too many good properties. We already had a few of these dumb moves in 7 (i'm looking at you, Claudio). In 8 all of a sudden moves have to be mid, tracking, safe and preferably counter hit launch or at least lead to obnoxious oki unless it's a legacy move.

Two personal issues:

Too many PC moves and too much tracking on most attacks.
And even though I said that: it's still insanely effective to side step and it will win you many match ups.
