My Thoughts On The New Kazuya... TEKKEN 8.5 Breakdown

Can u give me a tip pls? How to cancel grab in devil form hellsweep?

Can't wait for Kazuya mains to still cry though

MainMan is happy for Devil Jin players in this patch? I guess as long as Kazuya gets buffed he doesn't care about dj anymore

Chadzuya Mishima eating good this patch

Make a video on Paul!

Finally, Kazuya have damage🎉

😂 man i luv this new patch, sidestepping🎉 to heat burst😮 makes people so mad and yet they keep doing it empty 😂

So basicly Kazuya needs a Nerf now.

Can you do Bryan next

That n fixed Kazuya

MAINMAN PEWGFS ARE BACK??

Me over here being a Jin main crying that they massacred my boys damage to an insane degree. Kazuya can near death combo you off a +5 on block high, meanwhile If I use CH just frame CD1, into just frame CD2, B3,Zen1, BF2,3,Zen,U1, BF2,1,2 Wall bound, Heat burst, FF2, FF4 while in rage all I get is 104 damage, when prepatch I used to do 119. That’s a nerf of 15 damage! That’s wild to me. Demon paw nerfs are fine, it needed a nerf, but the damage makes no sense. It’s not like these launchers/combos are super easy or safe. Kazuya can do like 60+ more damage off a +5 on block high, but I’m -13 on block with my mid launcher CD1. That is hella risky and hard to land, I don’t see why that needed such an insanely heavy handed damage nerf. Thoughts?

nice new auto pilot

So he's doing Nina level damage now.

Overtuned character, just like Bryan. Hopefully it doesn't stay like this.

makes me a little sad you can't DF 1 4 to perfect electric if they don't hold back anymore but I do agree Kazuya is WAY better this patch.

half a year to a year with the current Devil jin... Im a Kaz, Reina and Kuma player now

kaz huge buff? that means you were wrong the entire time when you said he was strong and only needs minor buffs :O

Lmao why does Ling sound like Goofy when she's getting juggled

im switching to kaz after watching this video 😂 finally u have options for combo and u do not need use the same boring combo 💀

The most hated Kazuya player in the world and yet the best one, and the best to me ❤

Thanks for helping me ❤

@BUFFLARS

I'm not a kazuya main, why am i watching this

I wish F +1+2 is kazuya Power Crush

F+2 is very bad power crush for kazuya, it's just too short

No plus frame moves should more than +4, no matter on what character.

Kazuya mains are about to t bag after every round

Allat crying like Kaz was bad this game 😂

Carried Kaz bums

Need 1.05 tierlist

Now u can stop crying now they buffed him

"BLOCK BLOCK" DEAD

I keep having this strangest issue on controller that after I land demon god fist, half the time I try to do Patricide fist the game gives me grab instead, and I’m checking the inputs and there is no up forward input being pressed, so strange. Basically it’s giving me up forward punch grab with df input half the time

Now this is a lore accurate kazuya

Tekken Devs need to focus on anti spam gameplay because the current meta revolves around characters who can do that for free

Balancing in T8 is dumb: giving char with such 50/50 utility so much dmg is just dumb, same as Paul's case. Keisuke's performance just proves that. But atleast Kaz is not as broken as Yoshi, loo.

*I cry in zafina.....😂

Dammit. I wish he turned on his command history during these. I can get the 3 electrics but not the df1,df2. I don't know what the timing is at all.

Murry- "FixED Kazuya Neighbour"

The ws2 combo doesnt connect at the end if you set tech roll. It whifs on the last back 22 2+3. Anyone has the same issue?

Figuring out if I wanna learn and main Reina or Kazuya and it seems Kazuya has won simply because of your content :3

TMM - you're not as sharp as you used to be with Kaz meta. I feel like you're prioritising speed of content over quality and as a result mislead the community. Some examples:

- You gloss over the cd44 changes and ultimately write the move off as useless still and to only use cd41 for the better oki. This is just glaringly a shallow assessment. Cd44 provides much greater wall carry and now still allows some oki. It's also safer on whiff in theory if they stay standing. It most definitely has important use in his tool kit for moving the opponent towards wall and I see many Kaz, myself included, use it over cd41 in those situations. Wall is king for Kazuya most of the time.

- You undervalue cd1+2 because it's linear and slow without even discussing the context which it exists within. Coming out of a CD and it's ambiguous animation make it hard for the opponent to commit to a counter when the threat of EWGF, demon paw and HS exist. It provides a wonderful turbo charged paw alternative that allows Kaz to keep up pressure and does monstrous damage and carry on hit. It is a crucial part of his tool kit now.

- You gloss over Kaz's parry in general even after the buffs. It's an absolutely meta changing tool for Kaz to have, especially now, and can be argued to be the second best or even tied with Jin's parry. It gives control back to Kazuya in poke tight frame situations and is very risk adverse. It's amazing. The fact you can now use it during crouch means it's great for safely stopping strings or even better you now have a natural threat after db3 on hit. Little things like this mean alot in the totality of the mind games.

- You generally never really discuss how powerful df1df2 is as a meta defining tool for Kaz as it completely re-opens up his df1 pressure game - conditioning the opponent to not press or duck after df1 essentially gives Kaz many mental frames to play with there, and in conjunction with parry can make players terrified to contest Kaz in an area that he's been classically weak in.

- You generally spread misinfo on many little things that I can't even remember them all but an example is how confidently you would state that going for PEWGF after ch df2 PRE-v1.05 was pointless because there wasn't a good enough alternative combo - despite most serious Kaz players knowing there was absolutely a good microdash save combo.

It's like you've stopped researching your own character to the detail expected of such a specialist. It's really surprising when it comes to the technical things as that was your bread and butter. It's glaring also that competitive players like Keisuke are displaying all of the above in action.

It'd be amazing if you went back to providing more technical and meta heavy content instead of generic rank salt and ego pumping sessions. It's a shame.

My son ruined my ps5 controller... keeps going back. So it cancels everything i do when it starts acting funny. He raged at tekken 8. Lol lil boy noticed ...he said when is it gonna be my turn lol

Wait a minute... So i can go back into Tekken again? Annnd play my original main (I'll miss dvj tho . Too bad they gutted him).

any tips for doing 31 cancel with analog😶

I hadn’t played for like 2 months I came back and it feels like backdashing is faster now game just feels a little smoother.
