Speaking of old, let us engage in some old-fashioned arithmetic. Raiden is listed as number 13. I counted 27 characters on the tier list in total. 13 out of 27 places Raiden around mid tier. The math does not lie, folks.

So, Raiden has gone from top 3 to mid tier? If I may quote this post from another thread... FOOL!

How do you consider a player whose skill ceiling is top 24 at EVO not that good at Tekken 8? LOL. Your argument is comedy. By your own metric, Sonic Fox is superior to the vast majority of Tekken players, excluding the ones like Arslan Ash and Knee who play Tekken for a living. I have always...

Top 24 at EVO for anybody not named Arslan Ash, Atif Butt, Knee, Ulsan, CBM, etc. would be quite an achievement. Also, beating Arslan Ash in an online set is very impressive. Which other US Feng player could do the same? I am no Sonic Fox defender, but these talking points are incredibly...

This issue (i.e., your secondary and tertiary characters being matched up with superior ranks) may be related to "Tekken Prowess". Mike Hollow addresses this issue in the video below. He is also one of the few content creators who criticizes Namco for the lack of death matches in rank mode...

I am not familiar with Shao/Tremor. I was speaking from the perspective of Reiko/Tremor, who is my main team. The ability to launch from Reiko's command grab is powerful. Consequently, most of the kameo meter is spent on the ambush ground pound. The other moves, by contrast, are rarely used...

Read the entire paragraph and the full context of my claim. The fact that you apparently have a disdain for reading is not my problem. You have criticized people like me and Tom for engaging in theatrics and unfairly criticizing the game. However, when we offer constructive criticism and...

Arslan Ash is essentially saying that he is not allowed to criticism the game right now because he is not winning. However, as soon as he wins a big tournament, he is going to criticize the game more than ever before. LOL. How is he not acting like a passive-aggressive crybaby? For some...

I am curious. Which characters are those? I am not sure how long you have been playing Tekken as a franchise, but that feat is fairly impressive. By the way, are you suggesting that getting games in rank takes a little longer now?

Even stranger that I have to quote myself for those individuals who only skim posts... I am aware that there are characters in this game who do not follow this meta. I only wish that there more of them.

I played Mortal Kombat X, and while playing the game did anything but complement my gameplay style, the high powerful levels, the ever-changing top tier characters, and the exceptional online gameplay captivated my interest for a long time. Although I sympathize with your rush down argument...

Unfortunately, facts have not mattered recently in the Tekken community. Narratives and sensationalism have. If Arslan Ash cannot place top 8 in his own region using arguably the best character in the game, perhaps he is currently not as good as he and his fanbase think that he is. In the...

Again, Tekken had to evolve, and Namco took some risks (something that NRS has not done since Mortal Kombat X) with the heat system, chip damage, overhauled throws, etc. They did a very good job, in my opinion. I believe that TYM will have its own "more positive" podcast in which the hosts...

Are you implying that every fighting game plays similar because of chip damage and super meter? Tekken 8 plays nothing like Street Fighter 6. Tekken 8 plays like Tekken. Focus on the function of the gameplay mechanic, not on a graphical representation of said gameplay mechanic. Besides, as...

Water beam charge cancel to low block is also (finally) fixed. You can block low instantly now.

50/50 in my opinion. Some nice buffs for Rain and Reptile. Too many nerfs for Peacemaker and Raiden, particularly Raiden. Typical NRS patch. Nothing special.

You can play any Tekken game defensively or offensively. The question is, which gameplay style has generally been stronger in previous Tekken games? This question has an incredibly easy answer, yet the irony is that many of the most broken characters in Tekken history do not even have the best...

Yet spamming counter-hit launchers gave players less value for more effort in Tekken 7? Speaking of which, Tekken 7 did not goad you into playing a certain way? I enjoyed Tekken 7 for its defensive options and I currently enjoy Tekken 8 for its aggressiveness. However, the Tekken community is...

I deleted Tekken 7, so I cannot test the startup of rage arts, but I would not be surprised if they were slightly faster in Tekken 8. The honeymoon phase for Tekken 8 is definitely over. LOL. I do not understand the hysteria, though. I prefer Tekken 8 over Tekken 7, but some players...

That statement is all I wanted to hear. Administrators should not be policing opinions and deleting threads. A couple of Mortal Kombat websites have had this issue in the past. None of them exist any longer.
