Oh, thanks! She is so hard hitting I'm loving it. And yet it will always be at the back of my mind, that she's literally Bruce. It's kind of hard to ignore, but here's for my Josie!
Main those that scare you

Harada just confirmed to me on twitter that he will be at Gamescom, so I'm assuming that T7 will be there. You guys know I'm not the greatest at Tekken but I can maybe ask him like a few questions if I can catch him
Have a link?

If he's wearing a certain shirt, don't bother lol
It's way too early to say something is OP or not. I remember in early Tekken 5 vids Inseok was destroying Leedy/Nin/etc. with Raven because of character unfamiliarity.
Looking at Akuma the funnest part of the game is going to come from learning how to beat him and discovering those new strategies/tactics. It's just a shame by the time we get a chance to play the game at our leasure those things will already have been discovered.
The scariest thing for me personally is how everything does chip damage. Even when respecting his wakeup and such will be stressfull especially in late rounds when health is a far more precious commodity.

Totally agree. I am already noticing stuff where you can counter him easily. Look at the last game he had against that Alisa player.

Here are her new moves.
Btw this guy has awesome collection of new move presentation and combos if anyone missed this.

Love what Steve, Jin, Hei, Bryan, Leo, Kazuya got.
All the new combo possibilities are awesome. FR is finally looking like a worthy sequel and not copy paste bonanza Vanilla was.
I'm not afraid to say "some" characters look OP as fuck but I already said I expected that. I didn't believe in this "R" perfect balance from the day 1. Patches will be coming.
Lol he must be from the moon, its like he is affected by a totally different physics engine. Guaranteed it will be nerfed.
To me he seems to be like in a beta mode, when you for example dp someone they fly in a very funny(unfinished animation) way, a lot of things seem to be way off about him. I actually thought the final product will differ largely in that respect to what we saw in the pre release build.
Actually I think the dp hit animation is pretty much how it looks in Street Fighter so it's probably deliberate.

Hahah that fucked up damage. XD ---- I linked wrong vid before, sorry.
And why Devil Jin's RD does that pathetic 2 jabs worth of damage.

I'm not scared of Akuma. He needs meter to do even decent damage.
Unfortunately I don't.
But it definitely happened. EX DP overrules rage arts and rage drives (based on what I've seen so far).
GrayFoxPL

Yeah, I don't see Akumer lacking that meter during fights.
But he builds up meter fast

And miss all those SF viewers who normally wouldn't be watching? Nah.

No way he'll be banned not after all the promotion that went into Akuma. Now he's a poster boy to the outside-Tekken world.

Plus it's sorta looking like some other characters have extremely high top end damage with RD too.

Banning Akuma at EVO is a non starter. It doesn't matter if he's god tier and you can't make a case that he is too new because the whole fucking game is new. I mean it's not even out in most of the world.

Character is not that good. Not even close.

Yeah Kaz and Hei's damage is ricockulous. Paul, Bryan and King are no slouches too. Jack got buffed and Gigas is almost a redone character.
It's just Akuma is pissing everyone off with 10 frame fadc punishes that no Tekken character can match. Also I just read that while weak shoryu isn't invincible the strong (with 2) is for 8 frames - lulz.

Or 10 frame jabs.

Naw. It's just for those cool combo videos. EVO is going to be fun to watch though. See what turns up.

Every Tekken release has fancy death combos that are so situational they never really see the light of day and knee jerk panic over balance because we still lack information.
Maybe poor balance will affect Evo, which would be a shame, but we still aren't even looking at a complete game here.

This was a combo done by a person who doesn't play Tekken in a real match 14 hours into its release:
I do think there's a lot we can figure out about Akuma, but the damage scaling definitely seems sketchy.

1. Not a death combo.
2. Didn't say the game was well balanced, just said people tend to panic.
3. It's not a finished game.
