at the same time you have characters in a game like Steve Fox who has BASIC combo like 122 often not even links on round start up against several opponent characters

I haven't labbed him yet, so I wouldn't be surprised. I'll get to it eventually...

i seen people shut that stuff down cold tho so ya gotta have other stuff in the bag

[S☯wn-Lﺤuꁅhtǝr]

plenty of comments calling him out for hitting other buttons other than 3.. peeps are analyzing it lol

[Pelikan]

lol it is so funny that it works :)

Im pretty bad at the game but Eddy is actual cancer, i cannot tell between his high/mid/lows, i cant think of a single character that has this issue lmao maybe i am just blind i dont know.

man being killed 3 times with the same thing.
totally deserved

Eddy is the easiest character to land juggles with but he's A tier, at best. Strong? Definitely. But not THAT strong.

This is all according to Namco's plan.

Consume.

Buy.

Why think or learn? When you can buy more DLC and ruin other player's experiences- as well as your own!

It is true that it is really lame, he is the very definition of a braindead character sadly. It is lazy development, as if they didn't want to spend time to bother designing his controls.

I really hope that future DLC characters will not be like that. I always thought of Tekken as a technical game that challenges the player with execution, but this Eddy despite looking good graphically with cool animations, he is really a disgrace in terms of controls design IMO :/

most of those are mids then high then low.. I don't see whats broken about it aside the forced rapid learning curve.

I was talking about the controls, they're braindead. It is Tekken. you shouldn't be able to make a combo out of one button, it is preposterous IMO.

Give him perfect frames reqs, QCFs, opposite cardinals sequences, back-neutral qcbs etc.. Make him actually rewarding to play and win with.. that is my point.

The new chars like Eddy, Victor and Azucena are extremely disappointing in that regard, they are too easy, too simple and bland to play in my opinion.

Execution is part of the fun, it is what makes you improve constantly over a long period of time to get the best from your char aside from other aspects of the game.
