Key Takeaways:
- Feng’s forward dash timing and movement style in Tekken 8 is reminiscent of Tekken 7 gameplay.
- The Holy Trinity characters (Drag, Feng, and Azusa) seem to have an advantage over the children of God characters (Jun, Alisa, Nina) in terms of dictating the pace of the match.
- Kakoma’s defensive playstyle and ability to punish opponents’ strings gives him an edge against defensive characters like Alisa.
Feng’s Dominance in Tekken 8
In the match between Kira Kira and kakoma, it becomes clear that Feng’s forward dash timing and movement style from Tekken 7 is still very effective in Tekken 8. Kakoma utilizes this style to maintain control of the match, keeping Kira Kira on the defensive. Despite Alisa’s evasive abilities, kakoma’s defensive play and punishes prove to be too much for Kira Kira to handle.
The Advantage of the Holy Trinity Characters
The Holy Trinity characters (Drag, Feng, and Azusa) seem to have an advantage over the children of God characters (Jun, Alisa, Nina) in terms of dictating the pace of the match. Kakoma’s use of Feng allows him to control the match and force Kira Kira to play defensively. This theory is supported by the fact that kakoma defeated Kira Kira, who was playing Alisa, a defensive character.
Kakoma’s Defensive Playstyle
Kakoma’s defensive playstyle and ability to punish opponents’ strings give him a significant advantage against defensive characters like Alisa. He interrupts Kira Kira’s strings, destabilizing his offense and making it difficult for him to find openings. Kakoma’s patience and discipline in waiting for the right moments to attack pay off, as he secures a victory over Kira Kira.
