As for the characters it sounds kind of like "i don't want to take the time to learn them" not a very solid argument. That would be akin to you saying well the next Tekken should be designed only around me and the charachters I like to use any one elses favorite characters be damned. And for the record if you know what you are doing Ganryu isn't terrible. Sorry I don't want to be a dick but it sounds like you either don't have the capacity to learn the majority of each characters moves or you're just too lazy to. |
Yoshimitsu is a lot different that the other characters. He has a lot of specific moves for different situations and is meant to be played almost completely random. He has more unblockable attacks than anyone else in the game.
I'm not saying Ganryu is a terrible character. What I'm saying is that I don't like him as a character. He is obsessive over Julia, and he's just some random fat old guy. Julia is at least 25 years younger than him. She doesn't like him, hardly notices him, but, he's obsessive... looking at her from far away. It's not comical, it's not humorous, it's just weird, and very off-putting. Especially in TTT2, when he's peaking at her change through an open door, It's really stupid.
And, just so you know, Tekken 7 does have all the characters I like. It has Lili, Feng Wei, and Leo. No Yoshimitsu yet, but I didn't start using him until TTT2 anyway. I'd imagine they wont reveal him until they have the new character model, since each Yoshimitsu that appears is a new character.
As for not wanting to take the time to learn the character, that IS a valid argument. Most people who will buy the game feels that way. You have to know when you're in the 10% and what the rest of the community wants who play the game. I can be competetive. I compete. You cannot say to me, "Oh, you're incompetent," when you yourself don't have friends on your level. Who keeps you on your feet? The AI?
Me and my friends like Tekken, but we aren't playing it as much anymore. One friend went downtown for a tournament. He fights me so, he knew what kind of tricks to expect. It gives me a chance to bait him, because when I know he's expecting me to do A, I always do B. But, he was fighting feng, who, tried doing some of the same things most good feng players do. He expected A, got A, and was ready for A, and beat the guy.
These are people who, if you find something that works, they go into training mode, with you tactic, and figure out everything about it. I was using Lili's matterhorn cannon one day. Crushed everything from mids to highs, and got good damage and meaty combo set-ups. Did it as often as I could. The very next day, doing matterhorn went from being a good solution to a guaranteed loss.
Combo didn't matter anymore, if I couldn't find another way to set it up. Now, that I can't do it whenever I want, I'm a lot more careful when I do it. However, despite being my favorite character, I've dropped Lili, and stuck to Feng Wei and Yoshimitsu. Both are much harder characters to use than Lili, but Lili is not a good character.
With all that said. You think you're good because you play people who don't know how to properly defend against you. If you do an attack that has 18 frames on block, your friends might let you off, thinking it's safe. Not me.
Anyway, I play all sorts of fighters. I have Soul Calibur II HD, Soul Calibur V, Mortal Kombat 9, Arcade Kollection, BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, Dead or Alive 5, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online, Tekken 6, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, and many, other fighters. So, no, I'm not going to take the time to learn absolutely everyone in TTT2, with so many other fighting games. I barely listed half of them.
Of all my friends, I'm probably the worst at Tekken. However, I'm still not bad by any stretch.
