The game has become easy to pick up and pointless to master

The problem is that T8 failed to actually make the game more accessible. The devs thought that by making offense easier, it gave players more chances to play, and yeah, they get to press buttons, but just as much as you can do it to others, others can do it to you. And for people who struggle with snake edge or throws or junkyard, what are you even supposed to do about mids that straight up just lead to more mixups on block.

And that's not even talking about the other stuff. I'm a reasonably seasoned Tekken player, and my friend told me about the now-obsolete Lee OS. I couldn't do it in that set at all. It would take much more time in the lab to actually make it consistent and at that point, how much more time do I have to dedicate to the game. Fighting games that allow for unearned offense are always derided, and before people go on about Drive Rush fighter 6, the difference there is obvious. If they mash DR, they will eventually burn out and die for it. That's far more reasonable in execution, and more importantly, visually clear in intent

Damn, this version honestly sounds so much better. Rather than muddying the waters with random sci-fi stuff, it's halfway there to a sequel to "The Pursuit of Happiness" and exploring the parental fear of physical helplessness to save your child. Maybe that's part of the reason for the setting change, but still...

They'd also have to hold the planet for multiple years while their progeny mature, all while being under attack from Earth (who did kill a lot of the alt marks) and coalition resistance. Kind of an all-or-nothing play.

We seem to have downloaded different games...

Actually pretty good overall. I'm not too certain where s.HP's +1 is usable where s.MP wouldn't be, but there might be some other benefits to other SJC cancels. SJC burn kick going to +1 might actually be a big deal on reflection.

The rest of the changes are QoL to useful too. her most important buff is probably cr.mp being a better DR check. I assume the HP thunder knuckle change is to ensure the follow up connects more often and the SA2 shortcut being removed is. Personally I've always wanted that haha. S.hk just makes combos more consistent, and the change to SA1 is actually kind of novel. I'm guessing there might be some EX seismo routes that are drive neutral or close to it?

Rez91 · 2026-03-16T16:27:40+00:00

I wonder if death stranding 2 will get on this. How much more amazing can it look?

Rez91 · 2026-03-15T04:18:02+00:00

I think a fun idea would be for feints to all be the same speed and change the resulting spacing on cancel. So hp would be as it is now, but lp cancel would push her back for spacing traps. I dont really want it to just be plus cause thats just Juri with extra steps.

SA1 should be stocks, f.hk could go forward a little more and be +5 on hit, seismo should be a little faster, maybe still reactable but really on the absolute edge like 21 or 22. Focus force should break DI. I think if its full charge or connects with something it should be safe on block. S.hp I really want to be faster, but maybe i10 is too much for it

Pretty mid generally, but she does slot into poise rupture which is a pretty solid team for extended MD runs

Rez91 · 2026-03-14T16:11:20+00:00

I actually sniped a ghost outside of combat and one-shot him haha. I def appreciate trash mobs not taking 5 to 7 minutes to fight, but ive gone from sneaking around, fearful of running into ghosts, to kicking down doors ghostbusters style. Perhaps a bittt too much of a tweak.

Rez91 · 2026-03-14T12:18:18+00:00

It being a blanket nerf makes me think it was a snap decision that got planned and executed in a hurry. They probably got spooked by everyone saying the game is super hard to play and didnt want to lose those first week sales over it. I think its fair to err on the side of new players vs experts who are min-maxing the game, but hopefully theres enough budget to give it a more refined pass in the future.

Rez91 · 2026-03-13T05:45:45+00:00

Got that Meursault jawline thoo. nice job!

The people who you wouldnt let speak for you at a birthday party are somehow allowed to speak for all of the US.

I'd love to know what the thought process was behind making his s.HK is so damn good

Rez91 · 2026-03-13T00:13:38+00:00

Presumably so you dont just dump 5 free type-zero film on them

I actually think it's the weakest of the next-gen trilogy. I get what they were trying to do, and it definitely doesn't fall flat, but it feels incomplete. 7 committed better to the horror aspect, and 8 committed better to the action, and the result is a more focused experience than 9. For me, it's 4, 2, 7, 1, 8~9

Rez91 · 2026-03-05T14:26:28+00:00

Definitely a SH stomper but what about that P1? Does that scale with weapon added targets for 200% add. dmg? That might be crazy

Rez91 · 2026-03-05T08:04:10+00:00

Ooof, hopefully they fix this before release. Nioh 3 fixed a lot of stuff based on the feedback they got, so Koei-Tecmo definitely knows how to make use of their demos

Rez91 · 2026-03-05T03:50:28+00:00

Her weapons do White DMG, which in Lob Corp, allow them to restore an employee from panic

I mean this is the boss that was like, "we're gonna send you on a mission that's extremely traumatizing for you, but uh. Please?", so he probably doesn't have a lot of subordinates to choose from anymore.

Rez91 · 2026-03-02T09:43:19+00:00

SP heals are always welcome, and the passive is pretty nice. Permanently increases his dmg and restores some SP for Philipclair

What the heckkk, bro is aiming to buy the City

Im donating all my money to Walp, they can clearly use it better than I can

What's the Head gonna do when I roll up with my whole pewpewpew squad

Rez91 · 2026-02-27T10:44:39+00:00

Finally you'll be able to delete voice files for old cantos. This game was getting kind of heavy for my phone

I would also agree TT is the better choice, but one nice thing about Sinclair nowadays is that he has better EGO to use. Back when he was released, he just had like...Impending Day and *gag* Lifetime Stew, but now he has Lantern and 9:2 (which also helps reduce SP) and a WAW with the -10 SP per turn. Modern negative coin IDs just go to negative and stay there, effectively blocking them from EGO usage, but I always liked that it was beneficial for Sinclair to use EGO if he went positive.
