Why do people consider Bryan OP?

[Irigy Kutya]

I'm really interrested. And forget Knee, and the top tears, I'm talking about a casual level. Bryan has very few mixups, to be honest, there is 2, and none of them is a combo launcher. He has very few lows, one, very visible combo launcher low, and a few others, but his soccer kick is a quarter circle back which makes it pretty slow and unusable in many situations. No panic moves, slow executions, very punishable launchers, very slow sway in combo launcher, so why do people think he's OP?

If he would be, there would be a tons of Bryan players online, but there is very few. I see a tons of Asuka, Hwoarang, Dragunov, Josie etc, but very very few Bryan.

And I recommend these videos too, if you still think he's somewhat OP:

He's one of the hardest characters in every aspect in the game.

He's hard for sure, but lets not exaggerate okay?

Also his qcb3 and qcb4 is a force to be reckon with.

Bryan is just a good character although and through.

qcb3, the Soccer kick is cool, but it's very short, and for other characters that's a simple down forward or down back stuff which is much easier and faster to execute. You have to be close to make it connect an it's pretty easy to stop it with a poke.

The taunt moves are fun, but to actually use them on not a pro level is almost impossible. And if you use it it's still much more harder to execute then other effective stuff with other characters.

But he's not bad, I like him and play him main, but never understood why is considered easy, I've played a lot Hwoarang in Tekken 5 and Jin, they were much easier, and as I checked them here, that's still the case.

Most people referring to Bryan as OP are doing so because he wins tournaments regularly for years. so...

You can see it in two ways, not hard to learn to use and easy game plan, or hard to trick your opponent

He is bad under pressure, no one deny that I believe.
His strength is that he can whiff launchers and CH launcher all day and get away with most of it.
He is very strong in neutral at 2 steps for that reason. People online even whiff snake edge on purpose to make people come closer... where he is the king.

His wall carry is top class and easy since the last two hit will catch a wall far or close. You don't need to think much about it.
With ling for exemple, I need to adapt to far range, mid range or close range... and sometimes of course I fail. Ling is not the most difficult by the way, I do not complain here, but Bryan is damn strong and the damages at the wall... he is not op, but damn strong.

I do not know where you play but in my area, he is straight after the mishimas and paul in term of usage.
Which is pretty close to what we see world wide:

Not a single char in that game is op but people complain a lot.

This game is hard for everybody.

[gigaturok]

Complains about Bryan usually come from players who don't sidestep and don't block Snake Edge.

[(¬_¬) Tadas]

i main bryan,he's not that hard imo,just the tools are kind of different compared to the rest of the cast

[DonVISIONe]

bryan is cool. just spam 3+4 into another 3+4 and get your free launcher

[J.S.D]

Taunt cancel 3,4

I'd never say he is op.

wait he’s hard because a move is difficult to do? if that’s the case marduk must be hard too because of df+3,1,2 vtsc f,f+1+2

[The Fabled Englishman]

Arguably, he's among the top 3-5 best characters in the game currently.

He has one of the best lows in the game in qcb3 - at -13¬-12 on block and +5 on hit. He has a safe i14 launcher. he has an i20 mid elbow that gives a billion + frames and CH launches. He has a bunch of other safe CH launchers, many of which track, like ff4. He has keep-out with 3+4 and orbital, hit confirmable mid-strings, enormous wall carry and damage, so on and so forth.

In the current season, he is incredibly powerful. The sole major difficulty comes from his taunt setups and, if you can do them, they make his wall oki straight-up broken.

>"Complains about Bryan usually come from players who don't sidestep"

yes, because they know something. they know f.f+4 is coming and they can't do anything about it, hence complaints

[76561199230274474]

only taunt is hard, and you don't need it.
Hatchet kick is top tier low.
Punish and whiff punish kinda sucks but in return endless counterhit launchers.
Post TMM to make argument (instant loss).

[Pierce Dalton]

Any character is op in the right hands.

Surely not mine.

[DA PWN3R 007]

I play Bryan. The best thing about this character is that he can be played like a Mishima once you master his Taunt Dash. Having access to a cancellable low is S+ tier for mind games. His comeback potential is unmatched with his rage drive and orbital as well.
