Tekken 8 Patch 3.0 is not "a small step in the right direction" but "many steps in vastly different directions"
Some characters were nerfed in solid ways that make a lot of sense (Anna CH > elbow, Nina b222, Steve armor, Yoshi 1,1)
Other characters got slaps on the wrist, or were ONLY buffed.
Weaknesses were intentionally removed. This contradicts the statement of focusing on strengths, weakness, and identity.
The only consistent thing was a focus on making things "easier." Unique tech and conversions were removed, offense was streamlined, and a lot of execution checks were completely removed.
According to this patch, situational awareness is not something that should be heavily rewarded, and cool things keep getting removed or simplified.
Generally the vibes seem down, and I'm personally pretty confused by the direction of the game.
