The battle with Heihachi made Kazuya weak. Gotta appreciate Harada’s commitment to the story all of the sudden.

[@Echo_3-1_141]

This also means kazuya will lose in story mode

[@vista1456786]

Lore wise you have to admit Kazuya did look pretty weak in that fight though, Heihachi was easily beating him even with his 3 eyes, then heihachi beat his Full devil form too. Now that I think about Jin was beating him pretty easily in that first glimpse of story mode., Akuma was making that fight look easy too Maybe lore wise after Tekken 4 Kazuya is weak and the feed to all his fights conveniently disappears and he shoots them in the face with full devil , either that or he just goes low on all males and against females hopes for the best 0_o

The worst of the nerfs were to his combo game. His heat bound and combo consistency nerfs made him feel absolutely atrocious to play. I had to switch to Bryan because trying to combo with Kazuya felt like pulling teeth

Yes! Only on the last hour of the last day did I switch back just to lab more. I accepted the small combos but CD,3 could be sidestepped anywhere on the screen 😢

[@casualplayer7588]

[@ektrfirefox2571]

Exactly it's not just that he is nerfed it is that he playstyle just doesn't feel fluid like the other characters

Noted, kazuya can jab.. Broken

[@SnowflakeSSQ]

Not a Kazuya defender but Idk the character feels very weak now, anything more than this is bad.

[@Kuczy10]

There's one thing in nerfing only a certain string/attack, which is by many considered too powerful (Kazuya's original DF3+4 string for an instance). There's the other thing however, in nerfing a character so much that not only his combos are boring and inconsistent - instead of having huge potential in terms of creativity - but also you take away all the fun from playing said character. "Congratulations", Bamco.

[@user-vn8ko5vr2e]

That's what happens wen ppl complain about the character.. the character gets nerfs and after the nerfs, we go thru complications revolving around the nerfs with that specific character, then ppl start to complain.. it's always like that and ppl fail to realize, surprised the fandom is baffled

[@SidorovichJr]

Indeed. Like if that 3x 4x ewgf and heat bound would make any difference for them, now instead you can only do 2x ewgfs and ws4. Boring and mundane juggle for any mishima enthusiast who thinks min 3 ewgf juggle starter is the way

[@Domix766]

Holy shit that was fun, I'm the Jin player right before the last Kazuya mirror

[@Aurongroove]

What they need to do to Kazuya after those nerfs is boost the damage of a lot of his incidental strikes. If Kaz is gonna be like this then he needs better beef in neutral.

[@Sora2k9]

I love when they make heavy execution characters suck ass and make brain dead characters op, its really fun

[@parfaitcell3067]

2:30 I think its not about ender to get wall travel, it's just this flip mechanic does not homing far like the screw mechanic in Tekken 7. So to compensate for it we need to use heat bounce and heat dash to get the wall travel that we used to.

also I gotta say this T8 kaz design looks great but his fighting style is lacking ,looks so underdeveloped like they don't want him to grow I've been playing Tekken since the 3rd one seriously I love what was done for Jin for his first appearance while Kaz was dead and even for evolution sake tekken tag Jin in my opinion was a hybrid between his father and mother then they squander the idea to revamp the hybrid once more didn't initially like him , then he grew on me ,and then in time realized Jin is likely the best well-rounded character in the game and jin's counter parts have grown with him Hwoarang, Eddy and Xiaoyu where is Kazuya's growth and we don't want more big flashy moves . Build his base core up and give him the personality in his tech he so desperately needs Dorya

I saw someone said his df12 is safe now

[@HeavyMetalfan21]

It is but you can duck the 2nd hit. In heat you get a launch but to me that's not as good as his easy mode 15f punish he had in T7. I dont mind that nerf, what I hate is how db2 doesn't knd on normal hit and ss3 doesnt juggle on normal hit either. If they could at the very least revert both moves like how it is now in T7 that would already be better. P.S Jin is completely busted in T8.

Honestly, all the complaints are fucking laughable. Kazuya's still a strong character... still has that safe and fast recovering launcher. Twin pistons. Better 50/50 vortex, etc. His combo dmg got nerfed? You mean, he doesn't do 70% dmg without rage anymore? Boo fucking hoo. Even in the context of T8, his combo dmg is still above average, especially considering how it starts--- safe fucking launchers.

[@tobiasvik3278]

Exactly. So much crying going on here and all I see is still a strong character. It's bad sportsmanship to be crying about balance while you're winning. I didn't know Tekken players were babies.
