Serious question to long term players of the series. How the fuck do you memorize all your characters moves? I can't even move onto things like juggles and combos because I keep forgetting which each combination of buttons does.
Then I have learn team synergy, Uses of rage and tag moves and then after that match ups?
I thought the ign review was stupid at first but the writer does have a point. Tekken over the years has become infinitely more complicated.
still enjoying the game, but by the time I understand the system and my mains enough To take them online, most people will of got bored of the game.
You memorize it bit by bit over hundreds of matches. Concentrate on one or two things at a time, though that is super-difficult in this , moreso than any other fighter.
What makes Tekken worse is that the reaction and execution requirements are much higher than other 3D fighters. When facing someone with good movement, I feel like it's a massive risk to try anything to get them to stop moving- it's like VF evade crouch dash cancel on steroids and all I have is threat stance.
I really think Tekken 7 needs to be an overhaul of the series, they've gone as far as they can with the old Tekken concepts, and this game really is the Tekken version of an KOF Ultimate/Unlimited match. That said, I wonder if Tekken fans would reject change because it's change- I know some VF folks were upset over the system changes in FS. What else can you add?
Sometimes you have to make big changes to a series to keep it from being stale, or to allow new players to learn.
I think this game will last a good while, so you got months to learn.
