Is there a reason people play Mishima characters?

[abagofsunchops]

I'm not mad or anything, I'm just curious. It seems like the most boring vanilla midget thing to do, like playing Scorpion and Sub Zero in Mortal Kombat, or Ryu and Ken in Street Fighter. Like wow dude that sure took a lot of thought you picked the dude on the cover of the game wow really deep choice oh damn he turns into a devil too thats scary man 0_0 he must be evil 666 s8n

Yeh i've just come from a 2 hour ranked session and i reckon about 7 out of 10 players were Kazuyas. Really boring - you almost want a Lucky Chloe or a Claudio to come along just to break the monotony.

Maybe in your region but i rarely ever find other Kazuya players online its usually always Jin or Devil Jin, and honestly the Kaz's i do play are usually not that good they all use the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ flow chart and basic combos.

You sounds like a beginner, no offense. Mishimas are unique characters and people usually avoid them for them being hard to play.

I've been wondering the same thing lately. They seem so boring to play, especially Kazuya. His moveset is short, hard to execute and boring.

If all characters were like that I don't think I would be playing Tekken.

its because its far more satisfying winning with Kaz or other characters where you actually need execution and fundamentals to win, the execution is half the fun. if every character was as gimmicky and annoying as ling nobody would be playing tekken.

When I play Xiaoyu I experience the joy of playing Tekken
When I don't play Xiaoyu, I don't experience the joy of playing Tekken.

Putting it all together against a good player who knows the matchup is hard.

I play Heihachi too i definitely dont think he's harder he has more tools and his combo damage is very good. with Kaz you need solid movement, execution and match up knowledge to do well. he has very few tools so no gimmicks or panic moves like aop that you can abuse and hope everything whiffs. but yeah other than that Kaz is super easy if you want to try abusing the 50/50 mixup all day and use the most basic combos like every other boring Kazuya player out there im sure you'll get super far.

I used to think the same and mostly play unpopular characters like alisa, lei, leo... I was looking for a cool character that stood out.

Over time tho, I just kinda realised what I was looking for in terms of gameplay. Rather than agressively pushing forward I would rather focus on my opponent and respond. In the end, Kazuya turned out to be so much more enjoyable.

As for mishimas in general, they are tekken at its most tekken. Wavedash, 1,1,2 - that stuff is hella fun. Years of gameplay refinement.

Playing mk11 and I've actually picked subzero lmao. But now that's because I want to experience mk at its core, before getting into the weirder characters.
