paul seems harder to play than feng

Feng is one of the easiest in the game and also one of the strongest in the game. Makes sense to have easier wins with him.

[CrimsonZako]

I somewhat agree, Feng players don't care about his design or what's going on in his head, they play him because he's strong.

[Chimeric]

I play feng cause he's cool and has a lot of moves. I feel like when I lose is usually because there is something im not using, being too linear with movement, too predicatable, or I'm just dropping combos.

[T1g3r]

Paul is easier than Feng, Paul = cheap, Feng = Skill

[Chimeric]

only met one all my time online they must be rare though. I also only met one other feng. I lean more towards they probably both good but my no means broken.

Then play Feng, problem solved.

What the hell are you doing thats leaving you open to Death Punch

More people know the Paul match-up than the Feng match-up, that's why it's harder to win with Paul. Paul's glaringly obvious gameplan is so easily countered the moment anyone learns how to punish deathfist and stay out of demoman tip range.

Feng doesn't have hellsweep and df2 ez mode launcher that crushes everything , and a punch that cuts your health in half, so nah, not by a long shot

[Armin46920]

He's not as easy as people make it out to be i feel like i am side stepping hits, constantly using stances and mix ups trying to find a read on my opponent as fang and i just watch this brain dead monkey opponent that is drooling over his flight sim stick while he mashes the same 3 strings over and over. He actually requires more effort then you would think. if you are letting him hit you with his lows that's on you.

im almost blue rank as a victor main and playing Fang is so much harder.

You overrate demo-man and d/f2 too much. Demo-man can only be activated from range-0 and will get you killed if read or blocked. Most characters from this range have so many dangerous mids and lows compared to Paul's d/f2 and Paul does not have an i13 mid poke so he isn't just going to get free demo-man if the opponent understands even 25% of the match-up.

Feng has a plethora of lows that will kill you and he builds massive momentum with his new b4 mid, d/f1, and several evasive stances. He hits just as hard as Paul and excels in evasion better and has a variety of move selection.

To compare all that to Paul's d/f2 is no contest, because Paul's d/f2 has extremely stubby range and has a very high hit-box so it will be dodged by AoP or any form of evasion such as Leo's d3+4, Jun's Izumo 2, etc. It does not even launch crouching opponents, so it's only a keep-out move majority of the time.

It can crush a jab sometimes, but most players will not be spamming jabs against Paul anyway, because Tekken 8 has heat engager moves or mid/low pokes that have simply higher reward. If you walk into Paul's d/f2 or qcb4, that's your own fault for not understanding why it's used. Even intermediate players will just bait d/f2 and whiff punish launch it.

Feng can create pressure almost immediately due to the nature of his attacks. Paul has to create momentum through timing, but once he gets it, he gets rewarded with rush-down like no other. The reason for this is that most of his punishes will gain him a hard knockdown. He's very similar to Kazuya in a way in T8 as opposed to his T7 counterpart where characters didn't have heat mechanics.

Feng isnt easy, he's definitely middle of the road as far as difficulty goes. He just has some scrub killer tools that make people think he's easier than he is.
That said, Paul is also not easy. Especially when compared to characters like Asuka, Lili, Jun or Dragunov
