[Ariakas6]

Yes or no?

[VeniVidiVinoVici]

Very weak pressure, very weak tracking, very weak ws punishment. You tell me!

[LuckyLeo]

I think is Devil Jin the strongest character in game, but i think he is hard to play

he isnt

[willy bammy]

Nah but he has the most swag

[Dan Smith]

No he's a weaker king.

[adroman]

I feel you man.
But no, he's very strong due to his damaging ability but he's not the best.
He has range, he has no fireballs and can't fly.

He isn't good or bad, he is really average at everything and stands in the middle of the tier list. A pretty intersting char to go into.

low tier imo. not really worth the effort when you can just pick devil jin. dj does everything he does but better. i only play him bcs of style.

he has no good plus frames. he has no low risk hish reward launchers except cd1. he has no good lows imo, only good low is d4.

his moves are very linear. your only quick moves to deal with sidesteppers are df2 and d2, which are both mediocre (d4 tracks well too which is a high tier low imo). you are very weak to the opponent ducking bcs you dont have any strong mid launchers except hopkick or b4:1+2 stunner. very weak to ss right. so at a certain level people start ss low blocking you to the right, this kills alot of your options.

his strong points are good movement (backdash + wave) and whiff punishment(Dark Upper, shoulder, f2,1), and his quick mid pokes(df1, df4), and throws (which start getting broken often when you reach higher levels of play. thankfully im not there yet).

playing him feels like running around in a minefield. 1 mistake and its a wrap. wrong df1 timing = dead. not enough character knowledge = dead. you can cheese with throws but people start ducking that ♥♥♥♥, and then you are left with mediocre mids.

I wish the game was balanced around his strenght level. It feels like everyone is too strong and is able to do everything and have minimal weaknesses.

I'd argue against that hes teetering on being low tier but has just enough things to make him decent, most things he does King does better with the only better thing is movement.

In fact I'd argue King should be the gold standard currently in terms of how other characters should be. He has major strengths that are very clear, but obvious holes in his gameplay you have to play around.

If anything, his issue is that everyone else has mixups up the ass and can just rush you down with strings and all.
He can't do any of that and is therefore pretty outclassed in this current version of tekken.
If things were more normalized, he'd shine much more due to his good poking.

You could say he's too honest in a game that made an effort to make mixups more powerful and movement more weak.

who is the easiest mixup character?

Josie, Hwoarang, Paul are quite strong and easy 50-50 characters, especially in lower ranks, tho if you search "50-50 machine" in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Kazuya.

hwoarang is one of the characters with the most effective and hard to deal with unga but he is far from being easy

Nor is he hard to execute until higher ranks where people start to know to deal with your stuff simply because his pressure is so insane.
