[@zakoppi777]

remember everyone: your grammar makes a difference!

[@insanemindset2667]

I have to thank the devs for making Texas a rush down attacker instead of a grappler. Fighting games used to only have big guys as grapplers, but seeing this massive bull be a combo beast by using his bells as flails really makes me want to play him.

[@SmokeRulz]

Except he IS a grappler, lol. That's the entire point of his creation, to finally get a traditional grappler in the game. They're just doing more to his moveset than you typically see with grapplers, including not making him as downright immovable and worthless as grapplers tend to be in most games.

[@insanemindset2667]

@@SmokeRulz Ah, I see. At the very least he doesn't feel like a traditional grappler. He isn't that slow and still has ranged attacks that makes sure his grappler status doesn't make him worthless.

[@rashounjohnson9562]

Makes a lot of sense Since he is a bull.

[@DontStopMeGaLo]

@@insanemindset2667 My verdict: Texas is a Big Body Rushdown character

I love the bell ringing sound when he lands a good blow. So satisfying!

[@lagopusvulpuz1571]

Because he also seems a full grown adult out of all the calves in the game. Bulls are pretty big, also in fighting games there's always 1 or 2 big guys characters so the game was missing a big guy.

[@jo4sh0w76]

One very important thing in fighting games is properly visualizing the sheer weight and force of attacks through animation and sound design. This game captures that perfectly.

[@herpderp3916]

I don't play fighting games, but I love watching gameplay of this just for the eyecandy that is the animations

[@darienb1127]

I love how the bell ropes essentially act as arms.

[@monsterfanatic5344]

I mean, how else are you supposed to handle a grappler character in a quadrepedal fighting game?

[@claypigeon7063]

I guess Arizona was down for some daddy-daughter time, eh? Jokes aside, I love how Texas ænd Arizona share a few moves like þe ground pound. Shows how much Arizona learned from her dad.

[@SmokeRulz]

There's actually a lot of storytelling in Texas' moveset. You can see where his daughter learned some of the stuff she does and also how she changed it to match her own style. They mentioned this briefly at the NEC stream and I'm sure they'll go into more detail in the post-patch stream. So damn creative.

[@COMEONLITTLECESARS]

NOW THIS MAKES ME MORE EXCITED FOR THIS CHARACTER

[@Mabra51]

The bell sound when the attack connects is so satisfying.

[@SirElias]

lo mas brutal de todo esto es que en primer lugar, Arizona tiene varias habilidades similares a las de su padre y aparte. segundo: estas mismas habilidades se ve que a Texas le cuesta muy poco esfuerzo realizarlas, ya que por ejemplo el golpe que impacta rompiendo el suelo a Texas le toma poco esfuerzo o nulo y hasta se ve que disfruta hacer estas habilidades mientras que a Arizona le toma algo mas de esfuerzo en su set de habilidades, sin mencionar que las bandas sonoras son buenísimas. Saludos a todos desde Argentina.

[@stopgont7360]

En tercero: básicamente acaba de darle una putiza a su hija porque no lo saludo

[@camaleonsonico5898]

Incluso lo de enterrar gente en el suelo, si no me equivoco Arizona solo lo puede hacer si usa su ultimate

[@SirElias]

detalle muy bueno del que me di cuenta por cierto, y es que Texas se parece a motaro. *ahora viene el mucho texto con el por que.* tiene unas buenas mecánicas similares a las de MOTARO en Mortal Kombat, ya que su fuerte suele ser su alto daño, largas distancias y fuerte capacidad de enfrentar en un 1v1 al oponente. y de contra parte es su GRAN HITBOX ya que al ser tan grande (y en varios casos hasta lento)es débil ante los ataques rápidos o fuertes, pero sobre todo de gran cantidad de impactos mezclados con velocidad (sobre todo si es con patadas aéreas fuerte como pasaba en mk3).

[@TheBmb-ki8gj]

I really love Texas, he’s just so unique in comparison to the rest of the roster. Not only is he the biggest character on the roster so far, he’s also it’s first fella. I can only hope the rest of the pass will introduce characters that are just as different.

[@SmashTheBandicoot]

Man the damage from the grapple at 3:08 is absurd……yeah looking forward to Texas!

[@Starocean56]

Yup just like I thought this Big Bad Texan Man ain't no grappler, this man's a Juggernaut character. Adding sweet spots though for his big normals though that's a nice twist for sure in the archtype.

[@SmokeRulz]

He is definitely a grappler, just not a completely one-note one. Because TFH is sick.

[@Starocean56]

@@SmokeRulz No, he is 100% a juggernaut. A grappler replies on there grabs for damage and combo while having very stumpy moves and issues with distance. This man definitely does not have any of those issues and seeing what grabs he has been shown to have, they don't do alot of damage or create options like a grappler needs to operate. This places him as a Juggernaut, a bit of a Off shoot of the grappler archtype. If you want this games version of a grappler, you're far closer to call his daughter Arizona. And even she isn't to traditional.

[@Starocean56]

A few other examples he compares to far better would be Sentinel or Hulk from MVC, Abigal from SF5, uhrah(not spelling hs full name) from Tekken8, Goldlewis from Strive, Ect.

[@chatnoir3025]

I'm not sure but do some of the background characters actually react to moves that slam the ground?

[@SmokeRulz]

Yep. This is something new they've been able to do since adding Shanty's stage. Background elements (characters or otherwise) can jostle and react to heavy hits. Hopefully they can one day update older stages for this, but it's low priority.
