Plus the power creep made this the worst season ever. Kinda a mini rant but it's why I'm not the biggest fan of "buff everyone" while the game's system doesn't really give you the best solution to counter-act it. Turns into a guessing game more-so.

Not that I'm a huge mainman fan but hearing from him, speedkicks, even Aris kinda led me to this point.

Speedkicks' videos on competitive Tekken 5 are very enjoyable since it highlights parts of the game that have been important to the series for a long time now and it is one of the many ways you can differentiate the skilled players from the not-so skilled players and seeing almost all of that gone for all the damage and the 50/50's they implemented or tried to implement is slightly disappointing.

and then we have the last 2 dlc characters: Leroy: hilariously broken, man is still a top-tier character after 2 HARD nerfs and the dev/balancing team were deaf about all the complaints that their top players had about the character, which ultimately led to EVO Japan. Fahkumram is considered by a few to be the best character but even if he isn't he's def top 10 material, again and the broken hitboxes

Also, about Tekken 8, MainMan did a video where he showed evidence that pretty much confirms a fourth season pass for T7. There were 5 items listed on Steam for this game, most probably dlc stages and characters if anyone needs to take a rough guess, either 3 characters and 2 new stages or 4 characters and one new stage.

At this point, I don't want anymore characters. 49 characters and tbh to me some are pointless to use, unless you're a loyalist, cause there's a much stronger version of the same archetype (Fahkumran vs Josie for example), with less execution to worry about.

This system makes it hard to distinguish players as even if I tried to backdash for example Leroy, he has two crazy solutions to both backdash & SS, which kinda in a way makes it no different than if I didn't know how to backdash or SS. Season 4 has to get rid of some of this power play or adjust the system more so there's better solutions to the situations at hand.

but my favorite character isn't in the game.
