We want to focus on her stances. Proceed to nerf one of her best transition moves of 1-1. Smh

Exactly. Like make it make sense smh

@hiyaminakominako627 Ай бұрын

Are there other characters with only 3 jab strings? 2 of the jab strings are punishable And the other is duck able. I was planning to keep playing her but with only slow moves it's not fun

Im still gonna play azucena, but the new CH grab sound I thought my game was bugging.

The nerfs haven’t really affected my playstyle in the first place as I never really relied on her cheap gimmicks in order to do well with her. Hell, I’ve found my ability to play her has actually increased dramatically in local meet-ups if this past week has been anything to go by. I think it’ll all come down to how you specifically play her, but it’ll be interesting to see how they update her playstyle in patch 1.05. Add on: Hell, I won an open qualifier for Road to EVO with a post-nerf Azucena. I will stand by my stance that it’s entirely based on the player.

Nerfs are slightly too harsh. The WR 3,2 definitely needed a nerf, but I saw a couple unnecessary nerfs like the ff4 and d1+2. I don't think anyone was worried about those. We'll see how she plays out in the near future. I think high level play this will be significant. But casual and slightly higher than casual play won't change much for her lol. I can finally play her without ppl complaining now 😁

Nerfing her small tekken moves really hurt tbh. The running 3,2 nerf hurts too but not nearly as bad as the low poke nerfs and jab nerfs

@NIXSI Ай бұрын

honestly other than the dmg nerf to WR 32 i feel this is a very well done nerf she still feels really good and it enforces players to play azucena more carefully and look for those CH off her many stance options. i was a little sad with yet another hammer to the WR 32 but ive noticed this adds a layer of mind games as if a player sidesteps or sidewalks after WR 32 you can wait for the step and punish or use a grab to track the movement. i like these nerfs i just wish that they werent so harsh on moves like her ff4 since that move was used more for mixup as well as expression rather than because it was broken so id say that nerf was very strange. hopeful for the buffs to her stances in 1.05 and will remain a loyal azu player even if she is no longer s tier!

@guslathouris7798 Ай бұрын

Perfect nerfs. Pre patch Azu was one of the biggest offenders of “casino gameplay” complaint ppl have been having about T8. and it looks like the nerfs make it to where option select is more viable when fighting against her now.

@ToshinRaizen7 Ай бұрын

asuka running move got insane buff homing, +11 , chl ...i dont know if i can duck it point blank best i can do is standing block but with her +11 what can i do ...zzz

@MackCasual Ай бұрын

These are the types of nerfs that should be done across the board. Any type of nerfs or changes that prevent T8 from becoming the boring pokefest that was final patch T7 is welcome for me.

@scottmeyer2456 Ай бұрын

My pressure took a massive hit with this patch, and I’m struggling with how to replace it. The jabs really didn’t need hit like this, and seems a bit like overkill. Without anything being buffed while in stances, it just seems like your offensive options are low.

Really don't understand some of these nerfs. They went after moves that didn't need to be touched like f,f,4 and db,4

@jonatana.4540 Ай бұрын

It's way too much in my opinion. They should have nerfed WR 3, 2 by making it possible for the opponent to avoid it and get a decent punishment, not by removing the entire payoff of the move on hit. I'm mixed on the string nerfs, on the positive side it will mean that she can no longer just spam easy strings, but I struggle to see what else she can do instead now. Her stances are still good, but it is going to be much harder to keep opponents guessing, and people tend not to fall for her auto parries anymore. I hope they buff her shenanigans a bit, some of her evasive moves are really not very useful at the moment. I would like to do more of the stuff that looked so cool in the trailer, but isn't really viable at the moment, unless you're just trying to risk everything to have a bit of fun. That said, she did need a nerf, but people were already dealing with her quite well (at least in blue ranks where I am). I think she's gonna drop quite far down the tier list this time. I genuinely like the character, so I will have to stick with her through the hard times and figure out some new strats, but we did have it easy in the beginning, that much is true.

How is it that in a game where a character has around 50+ moves, nerfing 3-4 is supposed to kill it completely? Keep coping and learn how to adapt to new circumstances

3-4 lol 7 of her best moves are nerfed in frame, damage, and tracking combination. Her jab strings are the worst in T8 only 1 of them is safe but they can duck the 3rd hit. They killed her neutral game

Crybabies who's first game is either tekken 7 or 8 and only played female hitbox characters such as Alisa, Lidia, Josie, lucky Chloe, and Kunis just to be the most annoying people on the planet without actually doing anything. Watching the game play itself type of argument 🫵🤡

Useless? You just need to get more creative. Grabs are still i12 homing, you still have great evasives. You still make massive reads off this on block. In certain wall situation, it will still feel oppressive.
