Tekken - Paul Phoenix Burning Fist Move Evolution ( 4K 60FPS ) 1995 - 2024

[@thejutt23]

We called it "oooooaaa" growing up. We didn't know it was called a burning fist back then. Lol

SAME!!! It was the sound he made for Phoenix Smasher in tekken 1, Burning Fist and Phoenix Smasher in tekken 2 and Phoenix Smasher in tekken 3!

[@renjiabarai8470]

Didnt he beat jin in tekken 3? And jin proceed to the final due to technicality because got lost somewhere

[@The_Isaiahnator]

​@@renjiabarai8470 Nah, he beat Ogre (Ancient Ogre), then left the tournament because he thought he won. But Ancient Ogre transformed into True Ogre, who Jin then beat, making him the true winner of that tournament. It's pretty insane that a mere mortal managed to defeat a "God of Fighting," who was probably genetically engineered from aliens.

[@bluecanine3374]

​@@The_Isaiahnatorso sad that was basically the last time he did anything serious. Since then his only plotline has been being broke and needing money. Law too. Basically the longer you've been in the franchise, the more of an irrelevant joke you become

[@MaskedGuyCh]

In Tekken 8 they made it a mixup, he can cancel it or release it early to mess with the opponent, so if they try to interrupt him he can counter hit them. It's actually more practical now.

[@dragonballZbigBang]

It can be blocked so it's not the same anymore.

[@lamiamekni2802]

AKA Ten Thousand Holy Dragon King Fist (万聖竜王拳, Banseiryuuouken) in Japan

[@MootBoogie]

realistically unblockables should be between 40-60% damage. you have to get a really good read to land one so i do t understand why the reward for hitting one decreases with each successive Tekken game. it should be treated like another comeback mechanic alongside Rage Arts, Heat Smashes, etc.

[@BlakLeg]

They did say tekken 8 focuses on personality, but honestly that nerf is against that. Paul's whole personality used to be based on that one shot and his death-fist and that made him call himself "strongest in the universe", if u nerf those it's no longer paul

[@San-jx1zd]

For real, everyone that played tekken back then knew what Paul was and everyone acknowledged him as one of the defining characters of them game.now you got the new fortnite scurbs b"tching 24/7 about him even though he literally isn't even the hardest hitter in the game. Smh..

[@yeehaw8089]

in heat he gets a combo out of it that reaches around 70% if optimized. And his deathfist in T8 does more damage than it has ever done.

[@BlakLeg]

@@yeehaw8089 death fist is fine, burning fist is the one that got too nerfed

[@Fome]

Ya gotta miss the old animation with his neck and shoulders becoming completely dislocated

[@Darkstar263]

One of my favourite moves in the series. It's very satisfying if you can land a hit with it. Just need to find the right moment or it gets interrupted.

So there‘s no more replay action after a fight in Tekken 8? 🤔 (haven‘t played it yet)

[@brawlpro]

So they didnt "nerf" it in t8. Yes the damage is less however you can now cancel the charge into forward sway to do a low or something after. Its good to use here and there, not always ofc because opponent will catch on but yeah

Wow I thought his burning fist is always one hit. Imagine that in Tekken 8, his gameplay would've been a lot easier, more fun, and more convenient when defeating opponents.

[@NiiRubra]

In practice the move is not that great because it has one of the most visible, most telegraphed wind ups in the history of all punches, so really it doesn't make a difference to Paul's kit. It is however no longer fun to screw around with.

ok well if you nerf the damage so much. Why not increase the frame speed of the move ? i think that’s a fair trade off. Cause this isn’t right ! you will barley land that hit anyways so why nerf it ?

[@yuri-ub8kk]

I dont think the move got nerfed... All dmg got nerfed in general. Remember 3 kicks was like 70% dmg if not more, in tekken 2-3. In tekken 5 we didnt have the aerial combos we have now.. he could perform 2-3 moves max and the dmg output was much bigger than it is now, performing those very moves.. in tekken 6 a better aerial combo logic was introduced, and it seemed like gemeral dmg output was changed. In tekken 7 was the same thing, slight changes. And tekken 8 now seems like you are fighting heihachi all the time, no one dies.. for very long.. dmg is generally reduced over the years, and health got biggeer. Its natural that many moves will do less dmg ...
