The newest nerfs look big.

[C1REX]

The new patch seems to nerf characters and not buff them like many were afraid of.

What do you think?

Would probably also help if you'd post a link to patch notes, not just vid.

Lars seems to be the only one buffed. Some moves are fixed. Lower wall combo damage for many characters.

Nothing big, a little balance for Azucena and the rest is just bugs they take out.

Knowing how they work, be prepared for a big nerf for Leeroy and Steeve.

Wall damage nerf for some characters from the video look big. Azucena’s nerf may remove her from top3.

They botched the azucena nerf so they’ve nerfed it for a second time

I’ve yet to look at it but I hope they got things right this time because that whilst running move is completely insufferable

Not really, she is still a God IMHO. Wr3,2 is actually punishable now yes, but the move is still a +6 on block fast mid and just as strong as before when it hits.

The only difference is it cannot be spammed anymore (easy step+punish), so now they actually need more than 4 moves to play her. In the top level tournaments she was the best character with Dragunov so far, and now she is probably clear 2nd or 3rd behind Feng.

Because look at the other alternatives for top 3 : King, Devil Jin, Yoshimitsu ( top 5 of Jeondding) Nina (top 5 according to CBM) , Jun, Xiaoyu, Jin, Reina or Hwoarang ( top 5 according to Rangchu) .

Azucena still poos all over them IMHO. At worst she is still top 5 I think.

I need some big ass nerfs for king.
please

The moment with Leo is brilliant (1:42)! It's like I'm watching an episode of a teen anime!

Naw Leroy is more likely to get a buff, Steve will prob get a Nerf on his stance distance. Moment will probably be a big focus in the next large patch due to the netcode having bizarre delay issues that people seem to exploit.. A lot of the timings are inconsistent in code, inconsistent tends to mean issues to patch out. Pretty much if you see people abusing it its going to be targeted till there is at least 2 ways out being movement on the correct side and the right counter hit. This more or less is the Alpha stage of what needs balancing. The beta will unfortunately be season pass 2.

they are testing things out..
now days the games test stage is: one does it not crash on our hardware, and does the game load fine. We are the unfortunate testers for game balance, that was the point of QA feedback from streamers, pros, casuals, and demo and CBT.

It will probably be a year before most the issues are addressed.
The real concern is they seem to have to scrap the timings between the netcode and the game, so it may take longer to adjust properly.

I do recall hearing they are still working on the netcode so T8 more or less has at least *2 years of hell on its plate. (JP home arcade testing phase is now part of the console / PC package)

It will be my pleasure to tell everyone to never buy a game from Bamco fullprice. I don't pay to be a tester, they have millions... they can pay 2-3 pro players to beta test their ♥♥♥♥ and made something serious. no money for these greedy dogs !

I stopped to buy Capcom's game because of their bad DRM they forced on us. Now after Bamco censored Fairy Tail and don't respect us with Tekken 8, I'll boycott every games they will make.
I hope Koreans will take over the gaming business with Stellar Blade and all the futur games they will do. Japanese compagnies need to learn to respect their customers, if they want to take the same road as Bud with all the bad business choices they are doing now, they can go down and die.
