tekken 8's alternative solution to special style

[levibelew927]

since special style just sucks in general why not just reduce the amount of moves and just make it easier to execute these moves???

This is literally what happened to some old characters and how new characters are designed. Heat smash and rage art are a single button “supers”. Combos are easy. Most characters have no special inputs at all.

aren't the moves inheritly easy? Not trolling or anything btw but having played FGs before the invasive "assist mode" prior to 2018, the normal mode in tekken is equally the same in execution to what the assist mode serves in many anime games: just a direction + button, there is no way tekken can make them through special style hence why it removes the need to press a directional button.

If you want to play special style just use King.

To be fair that's an interesting solution because this game franchise has been building its moves lists since the 90s and a lot of these moves don't get used because they're subpar or supposed to be combo extenders. That being said, I think the only moves that are hard to execute are some of the Mishima croush dash inputs. The rest are just quarter-circles or 'sways' as they're called in Tekken.

Unless you mean the combos? In which case I can kind of get behind that too, some of the combos you need to learn to be super competitive are a bit unintuitive, but that's largely because they're found and created by players most of the time. The combos the game offers as sample combos are decent if you just wanna learn the game and they're not too crazy to pull off
