[@Shadowsmoke11]

Fucking disgusting character.

[@TekkenShazam]

Another “buff” (imo) is the stage design in T7. It feels like 95% of the stages are walled stages. Maybe it’s to help people feel good with the screw system. But characters like Paul become monsters with walls in play. While I do hope for new toys for Paul in S3. I also hope they vary up the stage design more to reduce this advantage.

[@Gurpwnder]

The new combo system makes things really fun for Paul players looking to maximize damage. Because of how weak DF1 is, you gain quite a bit of damage by doing launch straight into QCB4. You can get over 66 damage off a DF2 / hopkick by going straight into QCB4, then going for QCF1, QCF1, demoman.

[@micah6428]

DF ender is not used very often with a combo, unless it's a wallsplat into sidestep DF FF4 combo. 3,2 into D+1+2 is also regularly used at the wall instead of a deathfist.

First thing I did in tag was make my Paul and law combo ender a deathfist/flying dragon

[@Gurpwnder]

Did you know that CH QCF3 is actually a launcher? If you do iWS3 2, you can screw after it. Also as someone mentioned, QCF3 going from -19 to -14 is such a big buff. Both of these changes to QCF3 make it a much more potent low poke and a better mixup for Deathfist, which is also a buff for deathfist.

[@Gurpwnder]

Another sikk thing that TMM touched upon is that Paul's screw moves are on such useful moves this time around. WS3 is great to have as a corkscrew, allowing for pickups off CH QCF3, B3, FF4, etc. and is itself a great move. I believe it's hitconfirmable on normal hit, but I can't say that with confidence. QCB4 was unquestionably Paul's greatest move, and it being a high damage corkscrew is fantastic. B12 is perhaps one of the best homing moves in the game, frame 12 homing is great. Catch anyone out of a hopkick or low crushing and you get a combo out of these great tools. These are a great step up from the B12 bound, QCB1 bound and while F1+2 was pretty sikk, QCB4 is a big step up from that.

[@donvisione3634]

ws 3,2 is hitconfirmable if you dont delay it to much.

[@Gurpwnder]

@@donvisione3634 Thanks! I thought it was, but I only tested in training mode a little bit, so didn't wanna say that with confidence. This makes it a solid approach option / wallsplat IMO. You're -8, but the 2 is a CH launcher, so iunno if peeps are going to want to press advantage.

[@robertbrazas9287]

Great vid as usual! You should do a video on throw changes and how they are nerfed in T7 vs any other Tekken and how easy it is to break normal grabs.

[@honorablejay]

Regarding deathfist at the wall: I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the hitbox being extended, but if you can land it on one of the last possible frames you get a damage boost of about 15dmg. Bigger characters, like Bears and Jack, are easier to abuse this mechanic. There are setups to make it more consistent, but the timing is still pretty tight. Most of the time it involves doing either a standing 1 or a dick jab followed immediately by the deathfist. However I don't know if it works on smaller characters like Xiaoyu.

[@MichaelSS]

only the rage drive version works on smalls. You can do 1,2 RD for consistency, if you don't feel like timing it.

Tekken 5 had the best fighting system imo , 6 and beyond fkd up with bounds, and pretty much 2 juggle kills, not cool, I’ve been playing since the glorious and legendary arcade days (no online tough guys there, just face to face comp) and on all the consoles since Tekken 1, and the game has improved in many ways, but damn, some ways... not. Oh well I do enjoy it when I win against some new schoolers, that juggle me twice in one round, and kills me, killing those who ONLY rely on launch and juggles is so satisfying. Tekken has SOOO many moves, strategy, and techniques, use them. Namco add more tackle and ground game, more counters/ parry moves, and sort sort of combo breaker meter, 1 or 2 per rounds. The addition of armor moves, that take damage is very cool, but a little more to keep the fighting going back and forth. Like Max Dood said, playing someone who is much higher or much lower than your rank can be pretty miserable, and no fun. Anyway, constantly juggling someone easily , or watching yourself floating forever is definitely no fun. I believe TMM agrees at least with that part.
