I hear ya. But the way I see it, I was expecting her to be way too strong with no real weaknesses, just stance pressure into stance pressure into forced 50/50 etc. But it looks like she's got pretty distinct weaknesses. No super threatening lows and very easily stepped, but above average combo damage and punishment. I main Jin, and I feel like such a tier whore for it, but I just liked the look of his fighting style since 6, so having my secondary back and NOT broken to hell is pretty sweet for me. IDK, just my thoughts on her though, we'll see when I play her if I'm still happy with her lol

I'd compare her to Lucario in Smash when i used to main him way back. They both have lackluster options at the start of the game and require you to purposefully drag out the game to take full advantage of their mechanics. Why play a light Lucario that requires you to TAKE damage, when you can play someone who is good round 1. Why drag the game on for at minimum 3 rounds or 2 rounds if you can access HnE in 1 heat to access her full capabilities when you can play someone who you know, can play at full strength round 1.

There's so many stances in Tekken haha, I think there's less people who don't have stances than characters that do. I can only think of Asuka off the top of my head

@@NameTakenSensei True, I a probably should have said heavy stance-centric to be more clear. My main is Jin and even he has a stance (zen, plus breaking step if that counts). Lidia, however, has 4 stances, which takes more time to learn.

Lmao.

Surface level that is valid

A bunch of stances usually means an extra 20 moves or so which is nothing crazy. You can get the hang of it easily, especially Lidia who’s all about ff2

Nah lidia is piss easy to play, the stances flow nicely.

but 3,2 so good

It’s not great, it’s just ok, it’s -14 (remember there is characters that can launch -14) then it’s -4 on hit, that means if it’s hit then it’s not your turn anymore and also this low does only 12 damage, it can’t be great even with ch fc df2 follow up

I would prefer old db2 from t7 that was 16 dmg and -1 on hit and on ch +12 into fc mix

start with Sample Combo 3, it does nice damage for the execution.

Sample combo lmao Just grind it out in practice until you can do it, you’ll have to do that eventually anyway if you wanna play her seriously

Does Asuka have easy optimals?

@@h3artcxxk yeah I've managed to get one of the more execution heavy combos down pretty consistently now. I'm just not doing the qcfqcf2 cause that only gives 1 extra dmg.

@@burni988 good stuff, I’d learn both just for the blue sparks

Probably got punched on the nose for betraying asuka

@@Regulus-uu7pb 💀

Probably a medical condition, which is personal. Respect the Ferg.

They don't need us

It is a waste so early

Reina and Heihachi really only share FF 1+2, F4, and DF 1,2, and Electric. They have wildly different game plans/playstyles as well. Reina has no power lows and her lockdown potential is nowhere near Hei’s.

Actually the Original VA died 19 years ago. The guy the replaced him died 7 years ago. We're at VA number 3.

It might be Taiten Kusunoki. He voiced Heihachi in the netflix anime, tekken bloodlines

Man He's Just Don't Know Where to Quit, Sorry Marduk, Fahkumram, Maybe Next Time
