DLC character are OP ?

[Thero]

Hi, im a beginner to Tekken 7, and i want to know if DLC characters are OP in general instead of "Free" characters. When im playing against DLC charactes, i got the feeling they are really really powerfull. Maybe is just me, but i want to know.

All of em are good, some used to be badshit crazy op. But after a bunch of nerfs they are "just top tier".

they seems op if u don't know the matchup, especially dlc character such as lei, zafina and others. if u know their setup it would be easy

[Thero]

Thanks you for you answers :)

[天佑中共🐥the strongest]

yes, most of them, even if u know the matchup. their exceptional neutral game differentiate them from the pleb tier chars

Yes he definitely isn't top tier good.
Just cuz you struggle doesn't mean he's busted.
Almost every pleb struggles vs hwo, that doesn't mean hwo is busted at all.
If your problem with a character can be fixed by you getting better, then it's not busted.

LOL

Most of the dlc characters are generally good. Another trend is that a lot of them are easy to play at the same time. Leroy and Fahkumram both being top characters, neither are that difficult to use. And even characters like Negan, Noctis, Lei, Marduk, who aren't top tier at all, are pretty easy to use and will take you far in ranked. Basically "carry" characters to a certain point

all of them are above average

and the fact that people can't lab them if they don't buy them, make it more easier to win against those people

Anna is also just alright,

Anna needs some fixes before she can be called alright.

For example, at range 0~1, her ff2, which is a high homing move, will randomly whiff on a standing opponent.

Range issues is a part of her weakness.
Weaknesses are important.

It's not a range issue.

Ff2 hits from almost range 2, but if you use it as a pressure tool due to its +6, there's a chance it will just whiff. You can't get 5 in a row to hit, any one of the 5 will whiff, can be the 1st, 2nd, etc. It's a bug since the start of season 4, as in season 3, the thing wouldn't whiff like that.

All I got from this thread is apparently we can type the word badshit here now.

How is AK above average?
Kuni I feel is dead average.
Lei is slightly below average.
Anna is def below average.

maybe your "average" bar is higher than mine
since you are already high rank player

sure, they may not that strong in high rank
but you can't deny that they do very well for beginner

most of DLC characters has good win rate over all

I think what is the most important for new comer is, how to make them enjoy the game.
when they enjoy the game, it will encourage them to keep playing.
and to some point, they can switch to other character to improve fundamental etc.

oh, i misunderstanding
i thought the OP gonna start playing tekken with DLC characters

[Azami]

There used to be a point where Leroy Smith was really strong so they had to nerf him a bit. He's still strong because of his easy execution. But other than that no none of the DLC are op.

Honestly, the only reason why I bought dlc characters is for the sake of knowing match up and frame data.

Depends a lot on what you mean with OP. In tournament? Sure Anna isn't exactly sweeping the entire tournament circuit. In ranked though? She prints ranks automatically. Being weak on paper doesn't autmatically translate to being a weak character in reality.
