Law is a character in Tekken 8

I get the push to try to get Tekken players to try other 3D fighting games. I love DOA and VF, but it's worth understanding why people enjoy playing Tekken. The characters and world are factors to people, amongst other things, but the big one for me is the movement. Other 3D fighting games are primarily designed around guard buttons that anchor your movement if you want to defend. Tekken allows you to freely express your defence with the way you pilot your movement, and there's nothing really like it.

Just something I’ve wanted to share before Season 3 kicks off, especially with the launch of the dev feedback portal. I hope this will help both us players and developers There is a major problem within the community with people not reporting genuine issues outside of their bias and instead reporting things out of frustration. This kind of reporting, especially when it comes from notable players can cause a major confusion among the developers and can result in odd balance choices that most of the time come off the battle designers and not the players feedback, mind you, but it does contribute to it! This post is mostly directed at players who have a platform and a voice. Before you report something, please think twice and try to look at the problem from another point of view. Likewise, when someone is complaining about your character, try to see where they are coming from before defending your character out of emotion For example: Someone would come to complain about Lili's Feisty Rabbit. As someone who have been playing the character since 20 years now, I feel a certain connection to the character and the time I've spent honing my skills as a Lili user so naturally, my emotion would kick in first and I would jump into defending the character, right? but after I take a step back and look at the conversation from the other person's view, I totally get it. It's a game with forced 50/50 yet, I have a character that can sometimes can get out of these situations by simply tapping up or down, while still being a very mix-up heavy character. It is such a mess fighting her at times so I understand that FR risk/reward should be looked at So when I report things now I try to not do it out of emotion and just try to think it through or ask my opponents for advice on how to deal with certain situations, if they fail to give me a solution and I fail to find one myself, it is when I come to the conclusion that this is a problematic system/move that is worth reporting. I apologize for the lengthy post, but Season 3 will seriously make or break and we will contribute to either, big time

Mount Rushmore of Fighting Game Characters

Fighting games are bad products, not bad games. The genre's 25-year fixation on its core gameplay has gotten us nowhere. Meanwhile Chesscom got 10 million DAUs just by making chess a better product. We need to think more seriously about how these games are packaged. ↓
