Most Broken Character in Tekken History !!

[@JunKazamaFan]

Steve in Tekken 5: "The Mishima Zaibatsu will never make another monster like me!" Rest of the roster: "Promise?"

[@mwkan772]

hehe

[@ColeMeCrazy]

Tekken 5 Steve ending in the beginning best describes of how he was nerfed in T7 S4.

[@dingledonk8027]

I really like learning about stuff from old tekken games. Since t7 was my first one it's super interesting to see how the game was different, especially the combos

[@mwkan772]

I'll make more ❤️

[@ScrambledEggAbdullah]

Yes, Most of the community is newcomers Tekken 7 Sold 8 million copies and only 2 million are the veterans or started in tekken 6

I started in tag2 I'm happy that you started in 7

[@blackblazin]

Started played since 2, 5 is one of my favorite in the series along with tag 2.

[@JunKazamaFan]

These "revisited Tekken" videos make my day. Been hooked ever since TheMainManSWE started doing them in 2019. I'd love to see more on what made characters strong or weak back in the day.

[@blyat8832]

T5 had a lot of jank in it, and that's what made it beautiful. Sadly it was also the game where Devil Jin became playable, so that's a downside

[@mwkan772]

[@blyat8832]

@Arvin 1395 Fair enough lol

[@DeadlyDAssassin]

Oh man this game brought so much memories this is really unique everyone was as equally as broken as the next one and people didnt believe me lol. I remember setting myself handicap 100%hp vs 150% I would even ultra hard the CPU just to get my reaction timing down and even took personal notes and taught myself tekken through tekken 5 I will forever be grateful to Harada san for such a good series.

[@mwkan772]

indeed.. i used to play this too when i was 9 years old.. on my ps2

[@DeadlyDAssassin]

@@mwkan772 damn that means u the same age as me cuz I played this at 9 yrs old also back in 04 this was the game i played every character and hardcored on. Now I don't have as much time as I did back then and I miss that but this is still my favorite game especially playing tekken devil within with Jins story.

[@10_Bit]

Except Jin was below garbage in t5 NGL, due t4 when he was probably at his prime

[@Leadblast]

Not everyone was broken... only the broken characters. You're a stupid for thinking every character was broken. And no, Jin wasn't the only bad character in T5, either.

[@AegisKHAOS]

Ah, the legend that is T5 Steve. Scary to think he wasn't the only one that was busted at that level.

[@Dr.Happy11]

People saying launch Leroy was worse are utterly clueless. Any top char from T5 would steamroll every T7 char easily, including vanilla shaheen, S1 steve or paul, and last but not least, Launch Leroy and Fahk. The comparison doesn't even make sense, since it's apples and oranges. Even though launch leroy or og shaheen could destroy their opposition, with minimal execution, at their respective time in T7, they are mechanically different chars than the T5 monsters. Even if we could put a "not-op/mid tier" T5 char in T7, but allow them to keep their great movement and properties of their moves, they would need a brand new SS+ tier for themselves, above T7 akuma, julia, zafina, etc.

[@mwkan772]

true

[@christian1329]

What's with original Shaheen?

[@Dr.Happy11]

@@christian1329 Let's just say you could legit play him with 2 moves. Watching any tourneys from the early days of T7 would make it clear. Shaheen's 4,1 jailed, and was -2, so it could be literally spammed, even at the top level. A high-high CH launcher, that you couldn't duck on reaction, had pretty good recovery (so even ducking on read gave a ws i11 punish mostly), and if you blocked that, Shaheen could beat all your mids with dickjabs/jabs. So yeah, he was pretty braindead. I don't mind easy-to-use characters, and I do enjoy Shaheen these days, but back then he must've caused brain paralysis after extensive use.

[@christian1329]

@@Dr.Happy11 What did they change about this move in Tekken 7?

[@Dr.Happy11]

@@christian1329 Well, it's still a superfast high-high CH launcher, but it is much more commital now. They changed both the recovery on whiff, and it also doesn't jail now. So, when hit by 4, you can, if you're familiar with it, crouch on reaction to evade the 1. Of course shaheen can mix you up with 4, 4 which knocks down for decent damage, but that is unsafe (i think -13?), so it's a legit gamble/read for both players. Furthermore, if you guess correctly and duck the 4,1, you can more easily punish shaheen, whereas back in arcade T7, you both couldn't duck the 2nd hit, and it also recovered much faster. For instance now, in season 4 (and 3, probably also 2) i know from personal experience that, should you duck the 2nd hit, you can launch him with i15-16 launchers, like most hopkicks, not sure about slower stuff though.

[@NorieagaHDR]

He was really busted in Tekken 4, too. Good times! T4 and 5 are still my favorite entries in the series, followed by probably Tag 2.

[@wildman7220]

He was not busted in T4

[@mwkan772]

he was busted cuz his moves had almost no recovery on whiff

[@wildman7220]

Steve was like the 2nd most busted in T4 right after Jin. And followed closely by Nina (bitch was busted in T5.0 too, as well).

His hellfire unblockable attack is my #1 favorite move in TK5! The damage and the +60 frame advantage is where he shines the best next to infinite cobra swife. If he appears in Tekken 8 Namco needs to bring back his old hellfire unblockable attack that way I can finish my opponent with a ridiculous wall damage combo!

8 frame jab wasn't super scary. Practically 90% of the Tekken roster had 8f jab. The ones that did not have 8f 1 were Mishimas, Jacks, Hwo and Baek, King (his jab became 9 frames in T5.0 and before that it was 10f as well), Feng (his b+1 was still 8f). When done as f+1 everyone's 8f jab was changed to 10f.

I see

[@maxmercurythemm827]

You'll have to explain those. TTT Jack was nowhere near as busted as, y'know, Devil. T3 Gon and Bosco are cheap tricks characters. Same applies to King, to a much lesser degree, as he relies on b2, 1 comboing into itself to poke AND punish. T2 Baek is cheap due to his million kick strings, but still not completely overpowered. T1 Heihachi was purposefully overpowered though, he's the final boss. T6 was when Jin breached mid-tier. Nowhere near as strong as Bob and Lars. I mean, I can go on and on, but you get my point.
