Kazumi: She spams 24/7? Needs a nerf?

[Impy]

As you might see in my name, I'm a Kazumi-main. I see alot of people spam her and just spam them tigers with 2+3/1+4 that are for some hard to dodge and easy to abuse.

Did you guys see alot of Kazumis kinda spam you to death? Might she turn into one of the most annoying Tekken-characters?

Might she even need a nerf? (I don't really think so, the main problem are the spammers.)

Tell me what you think about it, I'd appreciate that.

Yap, saw a final yesterday Kazumi vs Steve, the guy beat her 3-0, but the only thing she did was spam that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Tiger over and over., very annoying and deals a good amount of dmg..

I doubt she needs a nerf. 2 years of arcade testing would revealed if she was broken or not. She's generally consdered to be mid-high tier... not even top tier.

I find other characters far more annoying personally.

True :| its annoying. :\

Okay, good to know, thanks. And yup, some others are really annoying, too. ^^

Yup, those tigers deal a surprisingly high amount of damage. :o At least the Steve wrecked her. >:3

The tigers are around -30 on block, while being progressively safer the later the tiger hits you depending on distance. If you absolutely can't dodge them, then focusing on blocking and using the rest of her recovery to slowly approach will force a Kazumi that's paying attention to stop.

If the Kazumi doesn't stop then you can kill them for it, even moreso if you've practiced sidestepping them with a decent run in punish.

Sounds like scrubitis.

[Impy]

Well, I have zero problems with dodging them or anything, not a problem for me, but some of my friends are just starting this game and have problems with her. ^^

[Jill Stingray]

People thought Akuma would be the spammer but it looka like it was Kazumi

Tell u what... most Kazumi Bxtxhes rely on fff2 at mid range, only animal over 2 grids, but worst is... at blank zero, those MFkers abuse lag with 11, then df1(most devastating), then hold df1, just hit 2 buffered into a df1+2 throw, mixed with hold 1, then input f2, into a one throw. Then spamming with df12, df1, 11, 1, if you turtle a bit, just mix with db4, db3 (very fast), or a v unfair move called db234, even if you block the last 4, (I DO checked frame data it should be a -11), however, she still got me with ws44 even I do a ♥♥♥♥ punch (10f special mid). Just like Shaheem, these new character's low are unpunishable even on block. I'm a newbie, but I am working hard. Screw these shxt players

Every part of db2,3,4 is punishable on block. Only if she hits you , you have to respect the next one.

The 2+3 tiger is very unsafe. If you block it close range you can just run and launch her. Not sure about the 1+4 one.

Just because a character is spammable, and it works, doesn't mean it needs a nerf. They need to figure out how to deal with it. There are no moves in the game that are unbeatable when spammed 24/7.

Jab spammer? Duck.
Launch spammer? Punish.
Low spammer? Duck or backdash cancel.
