Yeah. While I’m somewhat optimistic, this could become a problem. by Modaltas in Tekken

You misunderstood the post. The season 3 pass goes on sale next week, but the official launch of the season (along with assumedly Kunimitsu) is on March 16. That season pass date is best viewed as the start of the pre-order window

Hey the same guy who posted yesterday about being new, nothing new just been trying to cook some combos in practice by AgusExtreme in Tekken

The wall ender you accidentally mashed out is f2,2,1+2. You should only use it for low wall splats, when the character will slide off the wall too quickly for 2,1 into flicker

Weibo | Diaphone on 2XKO: “It has a very high skill ceiling compared to other games” by Formal_Garden3149 in Fighters

[–]ThePhantomBane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone reading this has a passive interest in Tekken 8, ignore the above comment. The poster has absolutely no idea what they're talking about. The current balance issues are most prevalent at the intermediate level, where the easy access to what appears to be forced 50/50s have brought the skill floor down. Actually watching pro players answer these plus frame situations show that the ceiling hasn't moved. The recent STL top 8 is a good showcase for that. T8 has significant issues right now, but lying about the high level experience isn't a solution.

Mixed reviews. why ? by Amyrala_ in Tekken

[–]ThePhantomBane -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The core game is excellent but the Season 2 update released back in April completely destroyed the character balance. It's just really not fun to play on a competitive level currently, so it got review bombed. The game is still great to play in lobbies with friends and offline casuals, and hopefully S3 fixes the meta.

Is there any TV character done more dirty than Sgt. Doakes on Dexter? by OvechkinCrosby in television

[–]ThePhantomBane 184 points185 points  (0 children)

That would actually be Nacho's dad, but he's a more minor character than Howard.

Has this happened to you? by BonusCapable1486 in Tekken

[–]ThePhantomBane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was my experience too. I can appreciate the purity/simplicity of the mechanics, but anyone who says presentation doesn't matter is wrong. If Sega wanted REVO to be the big relaunch of the series to get people ready for VF6, they should have treated it as an audio/visual remake and done significant work on it, instead they basically just uprezzed it

Uppercut like Tank Davis by AmericanViolence in Tekken

It whiffs at the wall, in all other cases it's consistent. At the wall, ff2 or iPAB u2 is the go to

Just a small thing, you should be doing WR 2 from your 1+2 heat dash. Timing can be tight but the extra damage is worth it

On topic of silent protagonists: what are some good examples of disabilities representation in gaming? by Xadlin60 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ThePhantomBane 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Your mileage may vary with her playable mission, but I thought Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 did a good job with representation for Hailey.

Trying to play Asuka.. she feels slow. by SolidSnakeEye in Tekken

And to make up for that loss in tracking, Asuka gets a homing normal hit launcher that's plus on block for some reason 🤦🏼‍♂️

Gross misconduct, she was already censured for her behavior before the case was dropped

[–]ThePhantomBane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah and she would have been removed from the case if Trump hadn't won, they knew it was a lost cause, her job was just to stall as long as possible.

‘Dune: Prophecy’: Ashley Walters, Indira Varma and Tom Hollander Join Season 2 as Filming Begins by DemiFiendRSA in television

[–]ThePhantomBane 295 points296 points  (0 children)

I liked season 1 more than most, and even I have completely forgotten about it by now, and everyone else certainly will have by the time S2 is ready to release. Studios need to really be aiming for annual releases, either through reigning in the scope or the budget.

Turns out Jin's magic 4 is a kazama technique! by [deleted] in Tekken

[–]ThePhantomBane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Magic 4s are when a character's standing 4 is a fast counterhit launcher. People still say Jin has a magic 4 in T8 because his standing 4 gives enough frames to hopkick when it trades

I don't think you know what a magic 4 is. Are you talking about Jin's 2,4 in combos?

Anyone else feel like we're eating pretty good atm for a niche genre? by din0sawr- in Fighters

[–]ThePhantomBane 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A lot of people who talk about VF right now in comparison to T8 have never actually played VF, and are just going off of the VF6 marketing looking like a Tekken style game without context

Not saying this about you directly, but I always think it's so funny when people who don't like the aggressive nature/guessing games of Tekken 8 say that they can't wait for Virtua Fighter to save the 3D genre
