Thoughts on special style being usable in ranked?

Not a fan of it personally cus I believe you should be learning your character as you progress through the ranks. At the same time however, from my experience it does make players who use it more pedictable as they limit tgemselves to what special style offers them. Dealing with spam isn't fun though

I saw a video of mainmanswe who's kinda got his ass handed to him by a special style user.

If you're smart and efficient you only need a few moves.
A good punisher, a quick low, a mid-launcher and a jab. If you do it smartly you can get pretty high up the ranks

Yeah seen the video. I feel like if you're getting to those ranks you should be learning how to play your main properly without the use of special style

It's a nice tool for letting brand new people still get to see their character do fun stuff - and gives at least an outline of what combos look like.

I've not seen it pop up in ranked since I was in green. Reality is, the restrictions of control you have on your character while in special style make it a horrendous handicap to a player who is able to command their character properly (a requirement for intermediate play and above).

Overall, no reason I can think of that it shouldn't be in ranked mode. If people wanna handicap themselves then go for it I guess lol

I agree...
but play and let play.
Special Style isn't really giving you any advantages. The only thing that might be giving you an edge is that the Special Style has an electric .... I believe.
But the following combo is really weak.

Other than that... there's no reason to use it... or not allowing someone to use it

It's a handicap, turn it on and use it all you want.

Don't like it, either. Auto juggles + auto power crush is really cancer.

It’s so bad it’s more like self limitation and tea bagging. You tell your opponent that you don’t need more than a fraction of a full moveset to win. Some of the moves even get worse framedata.

It's not like SF6 modern controls. They're actually useful & can be good. Special Style is completely useless in this game. You'll do the same 2 strings & that's it.

I don't see it as being quite that threatening or problematic in the least. I always thought SF6's modern style had some problems due to the fact that it lets you bypass inputs entirely (1-button level 3 supers are pretty damn threatening in neutral in a modern fighter, all things considered). However, Tekken's special style is pretty basic, all things considered. To give one example, it even avoids the "impossibly fast inputs" thing with how the one-button EWGF you get from it is actually decently slower than the average EWGF input.
