[@munchkimmy25]

I believe the old way to do it is still in and gives a slight damage buff to it compared to the easy one? Unsure about the latter I don't have the PS5 beta but remember watching Rip say as much.

[@Yamagatabr]

are you sure? That would be interesting, do you have any link to that?

[@haissn6543]

yeah, if you do it the old way it will have blue sparks with increased damage but i dont know if it has +frames

[@LevelUpYourGame]

I thought the blue sparks were from old input. Turns out you can do them with just the new input for the extra damage. I cant tell if the old input actually helps, but it SEEMS to help with timing still, so maybe its still useful for something

@@LevelUpYourGame That sucks if that’s true. I thought they’d reward legacy skill at the very least after giving easier alternatives.

[@xkarasu9705]

​@@munchkimmy25Hell nah lmao. I love this change. Boomers can get fucked.

[@rolanalcantara5430]

This was intentional, aside from the 'aggressive' mentality they're trying to push, they wanted to give more players (casuals) the ability to do 'cool' looking stuff with little to no practice via the lower execution and the expanded 'assist mode'. Let's face it, T8 won't sell more than 1M copies if it doesn't appeal to casuals. And you know they want those sales because T7 sold 10M over its entire life span and companies always expect their next product to outperform their last one.

[@nvbl2806]

doing cool stuff with no execution barrier get's boring very quickly, hence why technical characters are way more hype both to play and to watch

[@chainlearn]

Who cares? Law isn’t given a low with counter hit launch. I would rather take heihachi’s punishable db 2 any day over laws dragon tail.

[@tacitozetticci9308]

I wouldn't put it that way though. It's not that now more people have access to a cool move, in fact there's no coolness in that move anymore. They've sacrificed the coolness to give casual players more easy bread and butter tools for their gameplan. That's the trade off. (And yeah tbh I'm against this change. At first it could look like they just want their game to be a bit less cool and a bit more accessible, and that could even be okay, but Tekken has always had a huge roster for every need, just let them pick leroy or any character that's cool but straightforward and easy. We already have these, we don't need more, right? So what's the point of making the game less cool if there already are many accessible characters? Spend a buck on developing nice tutorials, bandai namco, problem solved.)

[@math001]

@@nvbl2806 sure but that's not how casual's view it. besides, Law is this game's Bruce Lee. he should be attracting as much players as possible

Happy this change happened. Really don't have much time to play, especially to learn dss

[@EkipsspiegeL]

I really hope that there is still a merit to doing the original input which will give more damage and showing blue sparks indicating that you did the og version of it. that way, at least for the players who put in countless hours down to mastering that technique can still find it useful to do. Whilst also incentivizes the new players to try out the og inputs if they ever wanted more damage out of it.

Ye, I think doing the og input does more damage :0

I can DSS well in a match. For ws4, you input back forw before the kick hits, then there is a pause, then you just need to time the last forw. Not that hard for me now but took a long time to figure out.

Nani! No more back forward hidden input? Or still around for blue spark?

[@justrok79]

I think mainman was saying PEWGF was a bit easier too, but he couldnt be sure because his execution is good. Can anyone verify if it is indeed easier?

[@via_negativa6183]

I can do it pretty consistently in T7, but pretty difficult in a real match, it honestly felt the same for me in tekken 8. But now you don't get an easy full combo if you fail without heat cause b2,1 doesn't bound so it's no longer a no brainer to just go for it every time.

[@DSquare77]

I know some fighting games terms but What does DSS stand for ?

[@nrostova5606]

They said the old dss input is still possible so what if they add a blue spark effect on it? Only on the original dss input. Sure it wont change tournament play but it could differentiate players who preffer the old one instead of the new

[@firave]

as it is now you can get the bluespark animation with the easy input, but only when timed perfectly. if they change it so its just for the legacy input that would probably stop most of the backlash
