Could you start a "One day with" series please? Start with a character you dont play with normally, and stream play them for a day, and make videos with the footage. Maybe have someone track your wins and losses with each new character you use and then compare them at the end of the series. Just an idea I think you could execute nicely yo!

Paul's deathfist should KO on block. Like if you agree

[@smashbrosmaniac]

It should also demote you a color rank each time it hits whether or not you block it

[@MagisterJohn]

Most Paul players I meet play really solid fundamentals. To people complaining about Pauly while playing Alisa, Dragonuv, Feng and getting beat, Paul players actually learned how to play Tekken and not rely on Tekken 8s button smash buffs. I feel like since Victor got nerfed I see better Victor players learning how to play fundamentals and not spamming, as pre patch Kaz I had a great win streak against Victor now they are actually using their brain I lose matches.

[@РоманСмородов-л2в]

Dragunov is actually way more fun to play against than Paul. Paul highcrushes everything and everything is plus or has extreme pushback.

Arent basic throws still homing? How is it even a nerf really? Only the top1% can tell the difference before it comes out i feel like

[@catroast5836]

@@JabJabBinks Its more of a nerf to characters without a full throw game, since generic throws have the homing effect so its easier to react to vs a 1+2 throw. Breaking throws for characters with a full throw game is more match up knowledge tbh.

@@Gabi24492 thats what im saying, - every single character who can freely setup 50/50 and mixup highs mid and lows on the fly is a high tier character imo... paul has no weaknesses, tmm is just underplaying every single character he ever plays - its consistent... he underplayed reina aswell while playing her, now he's underplaying paul with some of the best 50/50's and highest average damage in the game, what is this clown show?🤡🤡🤡 high average damage simply means u dont have to perform to a high level with the character to be efficient, why would that make him difficult to play? thats just tmm sucking at applying the mixups, how else do you explain that shit? people on his level knows how he is going to play, obviously - because they watch him do it... wtf is he expecting to happen when he's constantly streaming the gameplay? thats like expecting a different result from the same practice and the definition of insanity?🤡🤡

[@BlackStar300]

Should I not be playing Paul? I'm not really good tbh (still in orange ranks), but I picked Paul because he's what I know from my T3 time (last time played), but hearing TMM say he's not good and there is a reason people don't play him in tourney just makes me think its because people just know him. He's legacy and I've heard the term "honest". Not saying that's the reason why I'm losing etc. I definitely do suck, but should I just drop him as a character if he's just not really a competitive player? Surely there is a better pick right?

Right. He isn’t even s tier anymore. Hatchet flings them away destroying oki, has garbage range, is one of the worst lows in the game at -31 but only gets +3?! Kazuya db4 is +3 and only -12 or -13.

Paul is a good character but takes a lot of brain power to play against people who have the ability to mash all day with no consequences, make it fair and give him a one button so he can mash as well or make hie dwn bk 321 or 323 have a command grab in it , that way the opponent has to respect it and think twice if a command grab is gonna be played or straight combo move , or give him a submission move

[@duskbladex]

Wtf was that last paul v byron set. It was tactical up until that point. Like, we can follow the logic of sound players. Then the last set happens and you guys go super saiyan and play t8 at each other like 5 year olds that clearly know something that the rest of us dont.

[@tacitozetticci9308]

deathfist dealing insane damage on counter-hit is an identity thing for Paul, it's just "right". I've never played Paul but when they nerfed it back in Tekken 7 it was a lame decision. Nerfing it would be like making yoshi's suicide blockable: there's many ways you could make that change in a balanced way, but there's no way you can make it "right".

[@ThisRemindsMeOfaJoke]

[@aaron.biketrials]

I haven’t seen a rational argument yet. I don’t even own t8 and even I can see he is outmatched when it comes to his key moves being punishable and Paul’s punishment isn’t fantastic when it comes to range. Only thing really going for him is damage...if you can land it.

[@CosmicVoid420]

@@aaron.biketrials When you say key moves being punishable what moves are you talking about? Like say the command notations.

[@manjiookami7962]

My only beef against him is deathfist hitbox. I should state that it's not his specific problem. There are some bugged steppable moves that can hit you from the other side or cause a cross-up from 2D fighter. About Paul I think I can get used to cheese stuff with sways and demoman but deathfist is cancer in it's current tech state. I get that it's his signature move, no problem, leave it as a launcher even. But it should be linear and not hit to the sides at all because of the active frames sucking your character into hitbox while you sidestepping or he's clearly off-axis whiffing it but still is able to suck your char into its hitbox.

[@boredomkiller99]

Because Paul absolutely wrecks at lower levels where people can't punish non-heat death fist or play neutral well or know how to take advantage of his weaknesses like him having stubby lows. High damage characters are always pretty hated at lower levels. However at high levels Paul is pretty honest by Tekken 8 standards. He doesn't have a F you heat smash that gives him plus frames, no fairly quick gap closing plus frame mid, doesn't have much string mix up and his pressure is conditioning based. Once you know the match up you can challenge a lot of his stuff. Paul is an honest character till he hits you then he becomes bs. Even with his buffs they mostly doubled down on his strengths and left his weaknesses

[@laurabodewig4640]

Personally his 50/50 Tilts me. After Heatdash it just turns into a guessing game if you get demo'd or deathfisted. There aren't many 50/50 that make you loose that much hp on either choice. While also his df2 has to be one of the best in the game. Insane range. High crushes jabs and save. That's what i don't like about playing vs paul.
