[@doppe7186]

Btw ws3 got more damage

[@basuka93]

Yeah i recorded it but unintentionally deleted the clip 🤣 thanks for the reminder 💪🏻

[@sundragonbro2080]

2 more dmg lmfao that shit ass i14 ws punish

[@swankygamez69420]

Thank you good sir... Hwo mains all appreciate it... having said that, everyone keep in mind Hwo is still an amazing and strong character... these changes are intended so you have to think a little bit... especially the df3,4. Basuka,,, I'd love a set with you if that's ever an option or interest... love fighting strong Hwo players.

[@Doriburu8380]

I knew he would get Nerfed someday, just didn't expect it to come so soon.

[@Lordex13]

in tournaments you dont see a single Hwo because is easy to counter, imagine now....

[@zer0cx110]

That’s a fukn lie. K-wiss was just in a tournament not that long ago. U r so fukn CAP

[@anantambisht4895]

True they are nerfing already nerfed character

[@Aidento555]

This didn't age well with 3 hwo in top 32 in the most recent tournament (the mixup 2024)

[@princevegeta3569]

Alisa gets buff and her chainsaws are unaffected but hwo d3,4 needed to be nerfed?

[@makexut953]

That’s stupid right?

[@danisflying]

The string is absolutely braindead so yes

Thank you for the update Basuka

[@thatsmokerwasme]

Appreciate the rundown video! I am going to get blown up by that DF 3 4 change. Hes still solid and all but ouch.

[@hayaxozen6995]

really good that u posted a vid about it bc i wana see what exactly those changes will be !

[@whydoyoukeeptalking]

A big buff would be a style meter DMC style for hwoa mix up difficulty!

"Hwo performance success rate is not excessively high" Then whyyyyyyyyyy Bamco :( Thanks for doing gods work Basuka

[@alexismaldonado7459]

They hate us

[@its_nukatron]

F2+3 grab homing in flamingo is great! I've been using that in my mix ups. But that Heat Burst being side stepped kind of hurts. oof

[@cimilienp]

As a Hwo main , thank you for this video, to others talking shit saying the character needed nerfs, I’m quite sure the high level players who use him would probably beat you with any chars . The thing Is , if you can’t beat him than you can’t beat the characters who are actually broken.

[@tge1x.2705]

Not the happiest with this patch, but this just means I have to better

[@gamerhardy340]

Thanks for uploading..it's easy to understand Meanwhile kwiss makes 1 hour long video which includes these changes, promotions, his personal opinion on other characters etc..

[@RichiXEats]

Our power crush nerf is so painful on block now

[@ELFUICHE]

Will have to rely on the first hit alone since most people did not punish the first hit on block.

[@pf3305]

I’m used it to it, just reverted back to tekken 5 d/f+3,4(when Baek had it)

[@DiabloDon]

Bryan players right now 😏

[@RichiXEats]

@@ELFUICHE guaranteed grab like a rage art block 😂 ggs

[@zer0cx110]

@@ELFUICHEu mean the second hit on block ? Cus the first hit wasn’t punishable

[@Trinax11]

The new wall combo can be ended with lfs b3 leaving you in rff so you can keep pressure or immediately df3 to counter their wake up / for plus frames. Noice

[@dechuggs9129]

People complaining that you have to take the punish after your d3,4 is blocked but that shit wasn’t even a natural string in tag 2 and every other game before that 😂

[@robbiedunn7717]

for punishing d3,4 im pretty sure now you can just input your launch as soon as you block the low (don't need to stay ducking for the high), making it easy

[@Cherilyn_45]

Wasn't there also a nerf (yeah another one) of his db4? Like a following high would be more steppable?

[@zer0cx110]

YESSSS!!!!! His power crusher is -14 now !!!!! HALLELUJAH LOL. Bruh, that shit was -12 before so it was was way too hard too punish sometimes because the window wasn’t big enuff. I was only asking for it to be -13 , but -14 was generous lol. HWO players rely on that move way too fukn much. This was a win for me:)😅

[@Digamortis]

I just started learning Hwoarang and judging by the comments, I'm now wondering if it's worth the time and effort.

[@Spo_okyBo_ogy]

They have to take back right stance 34 power crush launch like tk7

[@ronnelsanchez2565]

That's f up Even without nerf d3+4 still punishable When i catch you harada Needless to nerf hwo tho f

[@danisflying]

Hwo trash abuser

[@dab-on-em]

Basuka gon have to redo the wall bounce combo vids. They took his damage away

[@The_Guy_96]

It just sucks that now for a decent power crush, now I have to go into stance, very annoying considering hwo wasn’t even OP to begin with

[@RocXII]

Stressful to see him nerfed . Thanks for this video tho

[@hrleinad]

Hwo got away with murder regarding the homing throws

[@ICEMAN-Z8]

They killed my boy hwo 😔

[@Galexlol]

thank you a lot basuka

[@tooekneee]

it's not tricky at all to punish now.. i think you were waiting the high to whiff like before. the timing has changed, so no matter how fast you do your punish, it will beat RFS f+4 =/ i know any while rising punish up to 16 frames will win.. super easy to be punished now, very risky to use!

[@alexismaldonado7459]

Damn the the two characters I got used to most got nerfed

[@namelessyoutuber1902]

I'm just gonna... Sit in the corner

[@KojiroSasaki21]

Df3+4 nerf is so bad bruh like 12f punish is enough now its 14?

[@danisflying]

Fuck off, start playing tekken you trash d34 abuser

[@shinoomar]

They had a problem with d34 for a long time

[@adsbr7598]

one of the most pointless nerfs in tekken history. already strong characters have buffs or are not changed. Hwo, who is already weak to many things, becomes even worse. These developers are just dumb.

[@You_Rage_Quit]

You post your fight footage?

[@luongtime5364]

Nice one Basuka!

[@sarciguy2462]

I'm not playing Tekken 8 until they bring Bak lei wu long 😮

Finally some high level advice

Yes

thanks

Doesn't matter what they change. Ill still win 😁

I think Tekken developers see your videos then they do the patches...

Still can't believe they nerfed him, so stupid.

[@Speedy937gaming]

Good it's how it should have always been... I love howrang but d3,4 was just dumb especially at high level

[@theojk]

lol especially at high level?

[@Speedy937gaming]

@@theojk if you really need me to explain it to you yes.. rang players at higher rank abused the D3,4 on block into rff f4,4 all the time in t7. It wasn't a strategy you would see often in lower ranks they usually try to do something expecting it to hit and get Counterhit after D3,4

[@Speedy937gaming]

@@theojk now that this move has been nerfed the counterplay is buffed (since this is again a strategy used at higher level more often I empathized high level especially)

[@theojk]

@@Speedy937gaming d3,4 was already punishable, pretty badly, especially in high level. If you’re a hwoarang player at “high level” you never abused this move.

why do they nerf him? He wasn't strong to begin with

I dunno, they should BUFF him instead :/

[@Dah-Die]

Nice we beed more nerf to howrang

[@rhipeinik9375]

Its overall pretty good. Bc they listen to the community

[@GrimStateOfMind]

But the majority of the community complaining about hwo doesn't understand the game and the changes made will still not be good enough for them.... the only people this truly affects are those of us who play at a high level where hwo wasn't an issue to begin with and is now just worse.... it's already hard enough at high ranks and to make it harder just because people who aren't good at the game are complaining is kinda a slap in the face tbh...

[@michaelpacheco6549]

@@GrimStateOfMindcome on bro let’s stop the downplay. Yes he isn’t the best character but ffs d3,4 was an insanely good string that had almost no counter play in neutral.

[@metalhedmeatwad17]

Keep them scrubs off him and let the real Hwo mains use him.

[@ICEMAN-Z8]

Ever since T8 released they been chipping away from Hwoarang for no real reason, first they nerfed his ws3 and took away his hellsweep and they killed his CH game now his most important atk the d34 is launch punishable! WTF? Hwoarang isn’t even a top 10 character not even in 7 where he was much stronger than this BS game.

[@michaeldietz2648]

Seriously this character needs buffs he’s one of the worst characters in the game, people anyone struggling against him just needs to work on your defense and understand when his combos end. Lol then they buff Brian literally the easiest character to play with in the game!!!
