This was uploaded at 3 AM for me on the West Coast. Tampa truly never does sleep. Mass respect.

cuddlecore is such a beast, really cool to see some high-level Alisa gameplay in Tekken 8.

2:55:40 Oh look at that 50% damage from a 10 frame punish I guess Akuma never left lol

[@BeAsTMoDE528]

Yeah heat smashes having absolutely 0 downside is kinda unfun sometimes. On block its usually a free mixup and on hit its 50+ damage with wallsplat, and if its not these things its because its like a fullscreen low.

[@ego3162]

Good stuff, CC 👏

[@dom2795]

Bro, mans really haunted CuddleCore for the entire bracket into a GF Reset😂. What a great GF set between two great players.

Gotta hand it to cuddle core. She's knows how to download and switch up tactics. She can go back and forth.

[@thedarkwonder9954]

I think they should increase the amount of damage for the walls in that money pit. Seems too easy to get a bounce off of that lol. Maybe since it's the last floor that is what Harada wanted?

[@hawk8087]

Me yelling at the screen: ITS CUDDLE CORE!!!!!

[@nodochitsu]

1:08:58 idk if I heard it wrong, but Celebration on Seine is top 3 for me, but Elegant Palace final round is the best song in the game imo

elegant palace best song in the game? insanely bad taste

[@buttpiratesbuttpirate5913]

[@zacharyalan4977]

@@aladdin9098 Right? The best tracks are obviously the one that goes, "🤖No eyes. No nose. No ears. No hair. No face. No mouth. No brain. No eyes. No nose. No ears" and the one with the lady singing about Monday morning and going to school.

[@eltniumgg974]

Yall gonna stop calling asuka bad just cause yall can’t use her or she not a top tier. That character is solid and does have some cheap shit and her damage optimized is actually unfair sometimes

[@Preachamain]

Zafina fight moves look like my goofy 2am shadowboxing. Behind the back nukite? Why the heck not?

[@FairchildV]

How did KingRey change the boot color on this costume? It doesn’t give me the option. Only the default colors.

Color 9-13 are her boots. You do realize you can scroll to the right in the color section... Have fun customizing.

Nah Asuka is still pretty weak its just King Rey Jr is just really good.

She does so little damage compared to others. There are characters who can do the same without heat or walls.

[@HarmonicResonanceScale]

Lee does more damage off of a basic 10 hit. Lee. 😂

Kiiiiinda confused on how someone is commentating on T8 and completely unaware of one of the most abused characters on the roster in Victor at the very same time. Then surprised when he's won two different matches from two different people? 😮

​@@KahL1Oneso much worse lmao

[@nameless-nl7su]

Valid critique; she does explain a little later on that she hasn't had time to familiarize herself with the new stuff in Tekken 8 cuz life™, specifically talking about Jun despite being one of her favorite characters. Plus, for someone who hasn't been able to familiarize herself all that much, she still knows plenty and I think the other commentator more than makes up for her lack of info.. It's why they have two commentators and not one, yk

[@imkadmi9231]

the graps by victor are so cheap, im waiting till tekken fixes that bug

[@KahL1One]

They SEVERELY need to tone down the chip damage in Heat. Like really, that's just ridiculously overdone x-D

[@JDarkAngeI]

Pretty sure that is the point. Point of heat is to prompt and reward offense. Tekken 7 gameplay was too defensive so devs try to change it.

[@lucastonoli3256]

Nah

[@smallwonder866]

As someone who is older and started playing back in the Arcades, I simply don't think that younger players understand. The 5 good players of the past would wipe out an entire room of younger players. It's called heart intangibles, and the will to win. What I am trying to say is that we didn't have youtube, twitch, and barely had the internet. Our styles were not just clones of other players, we were forced to find our own way to win. Nowadays, when you figure out one matchup, you have basically figured out how to defeat half of the players at the tournament, because they all do the same things. Back in the day it was either sink or swim with your own playstyle and mind. This makes the players of the past mentally stronger. And that is exactly what Harada was trying to say.

[@Lewibba]

just get good at the game bruh

[@NicholasMakaveli]

​@Lewibba Victor's grabs are literally bugged so they are harder to break.

[@lucastonoli3256]

​@@NicholasMakavelilike 7 frames smaller window on a single grab, it wouldn't have changed the outcome of any match as far as I can see. But yeah, they will fix it soon

[@NicholasMakaveli]

@lucastonoli3256 generic grab windows are like 20 or 21 frames. U can't react to and break a grab in 13 frames. And it's both his generic throws, not just one. But yea not saying it matters that much at higher levels, but for victor scrub yellow rank spammers, it's annoying af. I'm sure they will fix it

[@lucastonoli3256]

@@NicholasMakaveli wrong and wrong. Generic grabs are 25 frames and either of the generic grabs are broken with either 1 or 2, you don't have to pay attention to the arm, just mash one or two. The only command grab victor has is with both hands, which is radically different. You people just can't break throws, I'm orange rank and people keep losing half of their health to simple grab mixing (with Dragunov). Victor's situation is a bug, it will be fixed, but it isn't a huge deal, no one is spamming grab as it doesn't work on anyone with half a brain.
