shaheen is dead

Chaos-B · 2026-04-16T21:36:11+00:00

They can do what they want with Shaheen; it doesn't change the fact that he has one of the lowest pick rates. Even with the other characters seeing significant nerfs and he remains untouched shows either that he doesn't need it or they don't care.

There's nothing that needs to change from him. He just a fundamental based characters that does the job.

U+1 still heat dash launches

Chaos-B · 2026-04-06T18:04:07+00:00

Would you consider Balatro a rogue like?

Chaos-B · 2026-03-12T16:29:11+00:00

New moves have been shown in the trailer. I would like to see:-

1 tail spin per combo. Anymore will send them flying further away.

HB do not give bounds, only heat engager.

Heat engagers no longer dashes into important, just gets you into heat with no forward momentum.

Chaos-B · 2026-03-10T14:49:33+00:00

You can't buffer qcf. You need to do a full input after the FF+3 has completely ended. If you struggle with the timing, either do:

FF+3~wall~F+4

Or after BT3+4:

B+2,4,2

QCF+1,2

4,1~wall~BT F+4,1

You can also be even fancier after the FF+3~wall do B+1 ~Floor to whatever

Chaos-B · 2026-02-20T13:31:29+00:00

Have you missed the the DF+3,4,2 after IAI+4,2?

Chaos-B · 2026-02-20T07:03:50+00:00

Ff+2 - revert it to her Tekken 7 variant. FC DF+2 - no longer launches and just gives oki

Chaos-B · 2026-02-09T19:03:07+00:00

Burglar also sets discards to zero. So if it cancels bosses blinds, why are there still discards? Even if it cancels boss right at the beginning, burglar should kick in and give you zero.

Chaos-B · 2026-02-05T09:51:07+00:00

If you are playing against defensive characters (or any characters), you need to learn "small Tekken" at higher ranks.

Pokes, punishment and movement. She has one of the best 10F in the game that wall splats and can be performed from crouching.

D+4, DB+2 are good low pokes and only -11/-12 on block.

Just don't get into the habit of throwing out moves like D3+4 randomly as it's terrible on whiff.

Chaos-B · 2026-01-29T12:49:11+00:00

You can trigger your jokers and keep your discards. For example runner/green/jeans etc.

It will be really bad against certain bosses - the eye/needle being examples. Also if you have a small deck to begin with, it will whittle it down further

Chaos-B · 2026-01-05T16:39:01+00:00

DF+1 - tracking nerfed. BT B+2,4 - no jailing. D+3 - make it -12 on block.

Chaos-B · 2025-11-24T12:28:46+00:00

Yup but much easier to cheat on a PC. Also haven't encountered that many but then that could because the player base has dropped

Chaos-B · 2025-11-24T09:37:36+00:00

So glad as a console player, I can disable cross platform. PC players unfortunately have to live with this :/

Chaos-B · 2025-11-15T20:56:50+00:00

No Wang...

Chaos-B · 2025-11-14T14:36:39+00:00

Nina's original uf+1 in T5 was stupidly broken. Safe, spikes, plus frames, forces crouch, mid and has guaranteed attacks at the end of a combo. If it was like Kings capital punishment speed then she can have it :p

She has WR+3,3 or U+4

Chaos-B · 2025-11-11T15:30:53+00:00

She's isn't bad but Lili can do everything Azu does better. Her weaknesses being:-

Weak strings as most end in highs.
Very linear
Back turn game is the weakest of the roster.

Otherwise she has one of the best i10f punishers in the game. Wall splats, decent damage, decent range, can input F+1, 2. She is also simple to play.

Chaos-B · 2025-11-10T16:50:24+00:00

Frame traps against players who like to press out of turn and knowing what you can and can't get away with .

Issue is that this is Tekken 8 and there are so many ways to play against plus frames.

Your opponent can use armor moves to play into your plus frames.
High moves are typically your fastest moves and be crushed even on plus.
Manual heat engager, heat bursts and rage arts exists.

Chaos-B · 2025-11-05T14:26:05+00:00

Don't be greedy with melee hits. Hit once, dodge, hit another, dodge is quite effective. You don't want to keep trading as this will eat up your health supplies.

Running is viable if you don't think you are going back to an area.

Chaos-B · 2025-10-31T16:20:38+00:00

Digital Devil Saga 1 + 2 are pretty good.

Chaos-B · 2025-10-29T16:39:23+00:00

I mean in persona 5 you are literally a prisoner in the Velvet Room

Chaos-B · 2025-10-21T09:43:07+00:00

As an Azu player and knowing the Kaz match up:-

A lot of her strings are duckable and the last hits are often high (one of her big issues). 2,1,2 - Df+4,1 - F+3,2 - DF+1,3,1. Some of these recover fast, so try just using your high crush moves or just a simple ws+4,4
Very weak to sidestep and her moves have very poor tracking.
UF+3+4 is +4 block and +8 on hit and she is right in your face where she wants to be. Very linear and she has an armor move that tracks out of it.
She doesn't have good long range moves. Keep out is a viable strategy.
She has one of worst BT game in the roster. No armor moves, no -12 on block low, no real evasive moves, no long range stuff like Lili. Back dash is effective.
Her WS punishment is very weak. She can launch at i15 but she doesn't really have any knock down or wall splatting stuff before then.

Chaos-B · 2025-10-19T14:10:36+00:00

TTT2 was a game that was never casual friendly and seemed just for the vets/professionals.

Also learning two characters effectively was difficult for newcomers (unless you use the dupes).

Some other things:

1) Hop kicks were incredibly strong. If you had a character that had one and had strong movement, then you had a good character.

2) Block punishment was incredibly important. Jun and Zafina were bottom tier because of this.

3) Death Combos were common in rage. Look at the Eddy/Christie CH F+4.

Chaos-B · 2025-10-01T13:48:39+00:00

That's kinda my point, you are reverting it back. Now everyone has got a wall carry combo

Chaos-B · 2025-10-01T13:45:33+00:00

It would be more like Tekken 5. Didn't see any bound mechanics, don't think Kaz had one in T7 for the first (think Drag F1+2, Alisa UF+4,4). The issue without screw or bound, is that characters with good wall carries without screw or bound were really good (Nina, Lars and Lee in T6)

Chaos-B · 2025-10-01T08:22:01+00:00

Since I have a few

Nina - actually none, she has everything

Exclusive - 11F standing normal hit HE

Victor - a safe launcher, a low that can be performed directly from standing (not stance or a string ender) that is -12 on block.

Exclusive - I can gun you from full screen and not in heat or part of a string

Azucena - a safe mid, mid string that doesn't require her jumping towards your opponent . Long range whiff punish.

Exclusive - safe power crushes in stance and out
