Lars

I genuinly can't understand why we have t bear with that kind of toxic design.

Jump on you from the other half on the screen, collect an unavoidable +5 frame and mix you up from there.
HOW IS THAT REMOTELY OKAY DESIGN?

Yes. Yes he is.

Perfectly fitting in this broken game.

Lars is among the worst game designs both visually and gameplay-wise but the worst thing is... i have issues singling him out as worse and more braindead char than others in t8.

You just skip neutral into 50-50s into heat into better 50-50s.

Counterplay? Well skip neutral faster than him! Then 50-50s into heat into better 50-50s. And counterplay to that? :D you know it...

Neutral-skip is Tekken 8.

my opinion lars is honest

Nobody skips neutral more than Lars. He literally uses stance switching for movement.

In that case its genuinely possible you dont yet know the attributes of his moves.

So rest assured your opinion will change DRASTICALLY once you learn the char.

Whenever you see a Lars transitioning into SEN or DEN, DO A HOPKICK, DO A FAST MID, DO A DCKJAB, REACT INSTEAD OF BLOCKING. And I know this because I'm a Lars main myself. Unless you eat a DEN 3 on block, then yeah get defensive.

This is a very solid advice. Forcing lars to go for checks is essential. When you got the frames of course.

My personal problem is I don't know all of the new transitions- or there is differences in heat. Lars is one of my worst matchups

Go through them in pmode. Most is the same roughly. Except den 3. In heat he has the dash into stance that one is free. LEN you can try to interrupt ob.

Lars has lots of fake moves. He's top 1 when it comes to dishonest characters, hands down. Nobody comes even close.

People ♥♥♥♥♥ that they can't properly see mids and lows against Eddy but there's Lars, who you can't really see if it's a proper attack coming after those infuriating dashes and twists or a mere deception that will, eventually, punish you if you guess wrong. Spoiler alert: you most likely will.

I like the character and can have a bit of fun moving around like a seizure but playing against any Lars is just pure cancer. Doesn't matter if it's a low or high ranked player. The matchup just isn't fun, PERIOD and I've no shame to admit that I ALWAYS one and done a Lars.

Wasn't Lars neutral skip in T7 already? It's a very annoying matchup.
