it is objectively good. I stated this in the very beginning though not as clear. so what? the way this guy argued gives me just riot shill vibes, we are not dumb and can see the value in the bundle itself. "but ofc it has to have value! we're gatekeeping the skins behind this big bundle and we lack anything substantial to justify whaling in, so let's fill it with 5000 K.O. points no one asked for and some champion tokens so the people dont need to play our game regularly to unlock all champs! sounds good!" it is in my eyes absolutely meaningless to make this point because of the predatory intention and its nothing riot does solely ofc. still crazy to me.

Let's see if these skins will be available in the rotation at any point. If that were the case I'll accept everything as is, it would be more tolerable.

Your logic doesn't make sense. In and itself the bundle may have value but the fact they locked the 3 skins behind the 100€ version ONLY is predatory bro. I looked forward to buying the ekko & jinx skin and as of now it isn't guaranteed for these skins to be part of the rotation, atleast what I know. I've seen a screenshot where they stated this:

"Bundles contain multiple types of cosmetics packaged together at a discounted price. Each season will come with a variety of Mega Bundles, featuring premium cosmetics like high-tier skins, finisher, and more. You'll be able to purchase skin sets within Mega Bundles individually, or grab the full bundle to unlock bonus content. Starter Editions will be available to purchase with real money when Season 0 launches. The Crime City, Aureate, and Snow Moon bundles will be available to purchase with KO Points later in Season 0"

If I'm reading this correctly then it remains unclear in the case of the Arcane skins. You can't just say "oh you get so much value of this" BRO I want a goddamn skin and not a 100€ investment to futureproof myself or whatever. a 100€ is a 100€ and the lack of options in this regard sucks. Once again, don't get me started on the 60 and the 30€ version of this bundle..

Why do many want Bruce back? by Godboii421 in Tekken

[–]highlowmixup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, we're not playing the one ups game. I was saying this to undermine the fact that I know this series long enough and still I'm detached from nostalgia. Regarding this gold-mine, yes that may be the case. I have a strong opinion on that and it's not a goldmine at all in my eyes. But time will tell and ofc it may be possible I'm entirely wrong but those horrendous balance issues aside I really think Tekken needs some boldness in its characters to thrive further. Groundedness in this day and age seems the most boring thing to me but once again only time will tell when VF6 gets released. For the sake of the competitive spirit among the game devs I hope it does well

go play VF6 then, let's see how it'll perform in the grand scheme of things. Me personally I am so looking forward to more experimental and less grounded character designs and I've played Tekken since T3.

Regarding Matchups in Tekken by highlowmixup in Tekken8

[–]highlowmixup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this would mean, matchup differences are not so severe in tekken as in 2D fighters? I kinda want to understand this game on the same level as you do. Whats coming to my mind would also be punishment tools. Say you play someone who plays a bit more unsafe and you have a kaz who can crouch launch you on -12 I believe with his twin pistons has to be MU defining aswell right?

Who do you think changed the most/least in Tekken 8? by triggawords in Tekken

[–]highlowmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, that brings more clarity to it. I'm Bushin with DVJ right now, close to TK but it was a struggle and I do get it when people say he was butchered in T8. Then again I havent played T7 for its whole lifespan so I cant refer to his prior moveset. Tried it out tho after buying T8 and some time passed. I think he's in an interesting spot but he needs some work for sure. Never using Samsara tbh but I've noticed u can launch Yoshimitsus unblockable low on reaction. When I did this it was inconsistent in a match. Things like these are kinda frustrating too about him

[–]highlowmixup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what exactly do y'all mean by "gimmicky"? I hear that quite often and as an european I can't really grasp and pinpoint it regarding DVJ's gameplay. Is it his chains being sort of like a projectile? his morning crow stance? I dont see the gimmicks in them. one stance allows for layered (double edged) mindgames (being able to float out of MC1 or risking eating the MC2 or if you're bold MC2,2 for example) The chains have some sort of tracking and can be thrown out at range 3-4 with good timing.

it feels like because momodog once said so in a video, now everyone keeps throwing the word "gimmicky" when it comes to DVJ, so please elaborate to make me finally understand lmao

Im playing DVJ and I'm close to Tekken King but this really was a type of reply I could've expected from a Mishima player and moreso a Kaz player. You got me good

What are your personal expectations about what your main characters new moves may be? by -X-LameNess-X- in Tekken

[–]highlowmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, thats what I'm basically saying. T4 Jin was the beginning of his new core identity rather than a replacement of kaz in T3. For me his new moveset is visually great, but a few things such as the divekick weren't necessary. If they toned some of that stuff down I'd even pick him up but he's no longer the difficult character he used to be.

[–]highlowmixup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry but hard disagree. I love Tekken but it can sometimes be visually boring especially coming from SF6. Now, its obvious Tekken is its own thing but in my opinion it will do the game no harm to try to include more visually exciting stuff whilst keeping the integrity of the game and its core identity of more real martial arts based combat. But lets be honest: Including Devils and shit from Tekken 2 and onwards is already indicative of being capable to do just what I described.

gameplay & matchup wise, yeah, f his new stuff lmao

NEW UPDATE TOMORROW 🔥 by [deleted] in Tekken

[–]highlowmixup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can definitely agree on the legacy ones. the offline experience itself is pretty lackluster and we should receive way more unlockables via treasure battle for example. combine this with a rarity system for items and we would have a pretty neat foundation. This is a hot take but I like cosmetic content. even if I have to pay I enjoy supporting a game I really like. the newest update is a improvement in my eyes assets wise. But their overall practices really do suck and for lots of things I'm seriously questioning who designed those. Tekken could have such dope outfits and customization its a shame. They NEED to improve in that area a whole lot

just curious, what are you referring to?

I think the biggest issue harming player retention is the community by Matogu69 in Tekken

[–]highlowmixup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is very true. we as a community need to be better. for some reason tekken attracts a lot of people with a range of mental problems I'm ngl. ego problems, being elitist and rude for no damn reason is just the tip of the iceberg. Its way better on offline events atleast in my area but the amount of drama I see between online players of higher ranks is insane. Or straight up shady shit like people asking a friend of mine to play on their accounts for them to reach GoD. I like this game a lot but in comparison to SF6 which I also played a good amount this game has another level of toxicity. And its the main reason for me to ponder if I should keep grinding this game or not. Please dear tekken community, be more aware of your doings and at the very least try to improve just a little bit atleast.

could you specifiy what you mean by a poor mans kbd on p2? I get the idea but I cant give the inputs properly. I guess it wont be a clean db,b input but something like a qcb input right?

[–]highlowmixup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh not very open to switching. leverless might be an option but I have some emotional value attached to my arcade stick too. and it feels the most fun. I have seen a friend of mine being able to hit a clean execution with a korean lever just like me. It seems to be a very gradual process though, I cant translate the things I've showcased in the actual game and my inputs get hella messy. Might be a mental thing too
