I'm going to be frank with you guys, I initially didn't think MainMan'd react to this one because of how much he dislikes Lei. Thanks for the react Main Man!
I love lei. He definitely deserves his reputation as a party animal type character but thats cuz thats literally Jackie chans style in all his movies lol, but he's also tricky to play because he gets blown up by randomly ducking, he has like 0 +frame moves that do anything for him and he's always unsafe, even if a move looks safe or even plus, u can probably jab before he can do anything or even dick jab. Yea he's annoying to face but he's so easy to blow up, and he struggles to get in so if you just backdash even once, he can't reach you with anything. Literaly one single backdash and a df2 will whiff punish 99% of lei's moves, and razor rush is super easy to step/interrupt, and if he really "just spams a couple strings" then why is he so hard for everyone to fight? If its just a couple strings he spams it should be easy to learn then no? Not to mention anytime he transitions into stances he's usually neutral at the most. Which means anytime u see his stance bs u can just dick jab him out of it. Ik he won't be in 8 and yea it'll suck that he will miss a tekken game for the first time but I'm tired of everyone treating lei like he's somehow any worse than facing a Kazuya with good 50/50 pressure or zafina or even Feng, but you don't hear anyone get as mad about them as lei even tho they have wayyyy better tools for pressure and range in addition to 50/50 bs, can't we admit that fighting lei isn't as bad as everyone makes it seem? Cuz realistically it comes down to nothing but 50/50 and there are plenty of other Characters with the exact same game plan that don't get hate like lei does
Lei main since Tekken 2 and I hope he's on every base roster from now till the heat death of the universe. By then he'll have about 200 stances and playing him will require a PhD and an IV drip.
For me. Lei is one of the STAPLE Tekken characters. all of the ones based off real martial artists should be, (Marshall, Lei, etc.) should always be on the roster.
I've been a Lei main since Tekken 3. I've always loved Jackie Chan movies and Lei is essentially Tekken's Jackie Chan. I was devastated when he wasn't in Tekken 7 at launch. I hope he comes back in Tekken 8.
You said "he's Tekken's Jackie Chan" but what other game have such a good Jackie Chan interpretation? I would rather not have Law in Tekken because every other fighting game have some Bruce Lee clone.
I want both of them in TK8. I don't play TK so I haven't fully experienced Marduk's annoying kit but I definitely don't want him to be absent. Marduk and Steve are the only two TK4 characters who have their own styles so yeah, Marduk shouldn't and won't be left out
As a Lei player. Lei is not hard to WIN with, he is hard to MASTER! You can win with him easily with a few flows because people don't know the matchup. But if you actually want to MASTER him, it takes way more time than most other characters. Fight against another Lei and it will often show you just how crappy your Lei is.
These complaints can be made about literally any character in the game. ANY character can meme and troll. True Lei mains are still out here. We made it happen in T7, and I so hope we can make it happen in T8! -An honorable Lei main.
I mean character popularity can be affected by many factors. Their relevance in the story, their physical design, how strong they are in game, etc. There are plenty of characters in the series that weren't that popular that have gained huge followings due yo changes on the design teams end. A low pick rate could be bamcos fault as much as it is the player base
I like lei because he is exactly what Tekken is supposed to be about. Martial arts. This character pays a great homage to the Kung Fu and all the styles and stances. I really love characters based on martial arts even if they are annoying to play against. This versatility regarding martial arts and how people can be expressive by million different ways playing this game is what makes it the greatest fighting game of all time.
Lei exemplifies the "art" in martial arts. I'm glad that there are those in the Tekken community that still appreciate martial arts and don't yell "boring" when a character doesn't do anime shenanigans.
Just because he's annoying doesn't change the fact he's an iconic Tekken character and a huge part of it's history, he should be in 8 no matter what in my opinion! Also no one plays Kuma or Panda either but they're still there so that argument is irrelevant.
Also, people rarely play yoshimitsu too but they still add him. Also he says no one plays him but if you go on PSN a lot of people play him. And little does he know, you can interrupt him on transition easy. More proof he just hates stance characters.
I’m one of those people that think Lei should be in in there. I don’t really play as him but I think he’s a lot more fun to play as then Marduk lol and I would like the option to play at Lei. I 100% need Lee to be in T8 though because that’s my boy right there.
adding Lei in T7 is a master piece of a character what they do with him! for the beauty of the art !! no one plays him but we have him in the game and its beautiful ... its not all about spend money for goal sometime its just about love or heart its good for human being
Lei isnt too hard, those who say it dont play other fighting games with some actually hard characters to play. Tekken 8 Lei is going to be great, dont care if hes bad. Il be playing him.
Honey, read the comments. Everyone loves lei. He’s a pain to learn but once you got him, he slows for a lot of creativity and overall fun. Idc if I win I like taking shots while they miss theirs 🤣
Tbh technically completely mastering Lei takes alot of time, ALOT of time. Learning all his moves, his stances. Sadly however it is quite easy to win with Lei because of his usage rate so I don't know if anyone has truly mastered this character
Same, It’s pretty funny when people complain about him and I definitely see it but the worst is Zanfina. anyone with matchup knowledge will know that most of his moves can just be duck mid string and He is very slow and without animal stances which most wouldn’t let him get in, the wheels on him start to fall off.
Lei is easily the most fun character in Tekken. I don’t get how you can hate him. Unless I suppose you are more focused in being a Tekken pro than enjoying playing Tekken. Cos he’s easily the most fun.
I love Lei Wu Long my favorite character in the game They give him crap but Xiayou and Yoshi are just as bad only difference they hit harder in buffs If they buffed Lei like the other fun characters he would be higher
@@frantschou2369so just because he said something that has no actual backing, it's true? He doesn't even understand you can interrupt lei on block into transition but you back his wording 🤨🤦🏾♂️.
Yeah, the worst thing about TMM is his bias, (which you'd think at 37 he wouldn't have such petty bias like that but hey, who am I kidding, adults are less sensible than even children but oh well I digress), and honestly I brushed it off before but now it's really starting to show and it's off putting, also hello fellow Greek
I just can’t stand how ugly they made him. I wouldn’t mind if they replace him with a younger, more attractive drunken fighter but yeah I love his goofiness.
Lei is hard to master if you want to be creative with him. He has the biggest movelist, many stances. So yeah if you don't know him it's hard to face him, especially if your opponent is not predictable and uses his many mixups. But remember he's middle low tier ! And he's pretty unsafe ! You never cross him in tournaments !
Lei should be in 8. And I'll say if ppl get kill by leí they're the one who are flowcharting like scrubs, you can't flowchart againts leí. And btw the hellweep of leí isn't homing, isn't even track a little, just ppl not put even 1 minute to fucking lab. 😂
It clearly means you have no love for Tekken.. lei is iconic and there are lot of players who play as Lei.. Namco knows people will pay for lei..lei has amazing fighting style
No one plays Lei. I tried to play him but win or lose people wouldn't rematch me. so the negative feedback loop goes. I love his style and I think he is like yoshis underrated brother. Its a shame we probably wont see him in T8
Are we trying to have every character played by the same percentage of player base? I don't think so. Who cares if only few people plays him? He's one of the most iconic characters AND the best tribute to Jackie Chan movies.
Thats not true at all, a good amount of people plays him, he is very popular in Pakistan for example, his discord server has more people than 90% of the other characters discords, the thing is, he's not very popular on Japan, Korea, US and Europe, that's the problem.
Lei is the Jackie Chan to Laws Bruce Lee. It's like a guilty pleasure.
Lei is the best Jackie Chan tribute in gaming. It would be shame to give it up.
Lei Wulong is the greatest
@@user-fm3xr9yz3ido you think he'll be inT8?

It’s been that way since they entered the dragon

Too emotional mainman, that is what Lei mains count on.

And Lei still has the biggest move list of any character in any fighting game.
Be a shame to just give up that title.
Lei and Eddy, two of the most complex characters to master, constantly getting shit on about how big their move lists are.
Eddy + complex 🤣
Bigger than king?
@@bikerboy3k yes Lei movelist is biggest for any character in any game.
I’m a lei main since T2.
If he’s not in it I don’t get the game
You and me both mate. Lei main forever.

exactly. I didn't bought T7 until they added him back in it, and same will be for T8 If he's not in T8 then I don't give a fuck about the game.
Silly characters are important for a fun experience. Can't be serious all the time.

A lot of adults play lei, kids don’t play him because you have to be strategic.
We need Lei back
Lei is for the diversity, better than having clones or 2d charaters.
What's the point comparing different flavors of shit?
don't you dare say shit about ma 2d gurl 💀
Yes he is obnoxious that’s why I love him, he’s very evasive. Every time I fight people I Vogue and death drop.
I’ll take Lei over Marduk all day.
Factual 💯💯💯
Interesting
