The Demonic Invader Who Broke Tekken

  • Akuma might be in Tekken, but he's not from Tekken, and that means he breaks all the rules.
    From the moment Akuma was put in Tekken 7, he began to change it, warping the game around him and his mechanics. Tekken's own characters never stood a chance.
    Akuma changed Tekken, but he also may have broken it forever.

      And it makes me so angry because I played Akuma in S1 and S2 and people went from trashing him as a useless lowtier to whining that he was broken in a heartbeat because he has the strongest combos in the game, despite not having much else aside from his dickjab to get them out easily. Switch to Kazuya at the start of S3, and what happens? His hellsweep gets buffed and now everyone says he's broken too. I can't win with this fucking game.

      ​@@THENAMEISQUICKMANDon't worry about what people say. Tier lists don't matter unless you want to focus on winning. If you play a character because you find them fun, don't worry about other people calling them broken. The viability of a character means nothing if you just like the character themself.
      If people complain you only won because your character was better, that's their issue.

Akuma would slap gods left and right and He has always been top tier. Street Fighter 5 as wel as Tekken 7. I will say Scorpion and Kazuya are great as well, but Compared to Akuma they just fail to match up. I will admit Smash characters are OP as well.

    Akuma is my favorite thing in Tekken 7 save for 90% of the Mishima saga. Not because he is powerful, but because of his personality, role, and the potential he has in the right hands. I already learned how to perform an actual combo with him and managed to familiarize myself with his movement-based inputs such as his spin-kick and learned that it only triggers when you press a kick button AFTER he rises from his crouch position. Still need practice with his shoyuken tho. I can can go on, but that would probably bore you out of your mind.

    I mean, realistically what broke the pro Tekkan scene initially was none of these tournaments implementing a, "Hey, this new character just got released like less than 2 weeks ago. We should ban him since we have no idea what he'll do to the meta game," kind of rule. It's like we live in a reality where no one realized doing massive character changes right before big tournaments is a terrible idea. Do we need Riot games to do another set of 4 or more champ reworks right before their Worlds tournament again?

    • @Ironraven24
      @Ironraven24 Před 4 lety +8

      I agree releasing a character weeks before a major is pretty uncommon and is likely to affect the outcome of results but some could see it as a risk as well, and fg fans tend to put trust in the developers' to understand the competitive season/cycle and release patches accordingly. It's not common at all for them to implement bans because of that I think. In the case of Riot, im of the opinion that they intentionally overbuff/nerf to sell skins and to shift the meta when people are tired of overtuned [insert new character]

      That didn't excuse his release state. Release Akuma was by far the most broken character, more broken than Leroy even with the high execution requirement and mainly so because release Akuma didn't need as much execution as his normal non meter combos could be crazy too (demon flip chaining was a thing).
      After all of the nerfs I think Akuma is in a much more reasonable state because if you want to do any sort of good damage you need to have good execution and the nerfs to his frame data force him to play a certain way that makes him more predictable.

    As a fighting game enthusiast who loves both 2d and 3d fighting games such as King of Fighters Street Fighter and Tekken I would say he was broken but required execution plus people always complain instead of learning the character and not to mention they put USFIV's Akuma which was one of the top 3 characters in the game same goes for Geese we got his KOF 14 version where he is usually placed as an anchor with high damage output

    When I played Akuma at the beginning, many players who aren't used to 2D fighters seem to not respect wakeup shoryuken and just ate them up. Few would rematch me too as my game "plan" consists of hopping back and chucking air hadokens. And teleporting away when my opponent gets close. No surprise. That goes against the very vein of tekken.

      Anyways, Sorry but Akuma won't have a chance even against Hanzo hasashi let alone scorpion. Akuma had a hard time fighting Gotestu,gouken,heihachi and kazuya. Hanzo is incredibly fast. Akuma cannot use shungoku Satsu on him as he can teleport. For subzero he just freezes at contact. Not to forget crating swords,hammers and axes of ice instantly.
      Maybe Gill would have a chance but not Akuma. Having said all of this, if scorpion and subzero dont use hellfire and cryomancing and it's just a hand to hand Kombat then it would be even and can go either way.

    Akuma is absolutly fine now! I will always prefer getting beat up by a high execution character than some braindead char like the 2 latest additions to the game. In my opinion high execution characters should always be high tier. reward players who put in all the time to learn the difficult stuff.

      @chinogambino9375 Před 4 lety +2

      High execution scaling with advantage sounds intuitively logical but its an easy way to break game balance. The execution barrier is never really an issue for top players, so they would just end up overpowered.

    The day I saw Tekken announced Akuma, i was like "Tekken itself has ended, you want Akuma in the game you better build him his throne and commit to his existence, he's the god now". Akuma single handedly raise the bar for the whole Tekken franchise. The pro players were forced to step up their game because of this Demon.
