Considering the Tekken 8 habitat where at least 1/3 of the cast can do the same damage or 5-10-15 less damage then a df2 pewgf combo with just strings or autopilot combos, I guess it's fair
Ps. Not my opinion, just testing numbers in practice mode 👍
Come on man. Are we really crying about losing an i10 ch launcher?? That had little to no counterplay??? First substantial nerf this character has seen and the players r losing their minds.
Hwoarang is dead.
There is no longer any reason to play Hwoarang.
Even when he was nerfed in Season 2, I did research and hard training to try and salvage the character, but I no longer see a future.
I was very stressed out by this character's inefficient skill structure and unreasonable system elements, but looking at today's patch, there is no longer any need to play this character. It is time to look for another character.
