  • @fahrikaka
    @fahrikaka 7 місяців тому +21

    1. what makes DSS so weird now is that they changed the timing of the last forward input to be later (if you still use the old input) and has fewer plus frame compared to T7 Law so the DSS move after it comes slower or make the frame advantages not so uninterruptable like before, so you either has to do just frame DSS execution everytime or make them retaliate using kicks that usually comes 12f or slower, thats where DSS auto parry comes in, to make them consious that they can't jab interrupt Law DSS during heat. its also why they make DSS cancellable through DF input, so it adds another mindgames that they cannot use high moves to interrupt the DSS and get launched by WS2 or flipkick, or do 12f mids or slower to interrupt with the risk of being hit by a DSS move.
    2. Nunchucks tracks to Law left side, totally not tracks to his right.
    3. SS3 DSS is super inconsistent, sometimes dss moves can be inputted after 45f, sometimes it wont. definitely a bug. and the fact that we are not used to auto DSS from it, makes it harder to get the guaranteed after CH
    4. 3+4.4 is whack now, not only it's not a launcher anymore, but you can jab float before the last hit if you block the 3+4, and still a duckable last hit. the only good thing about it is that it deals 40 damage, a little bit more compared to other char 14f punisher, and also guaranteed nunchucks if its CH. but i came along with the risk with it, so maybe the bigger damage is justified?
    5. Parry nerf (startup and damage nerf, and can be CH throwed), db3 nerf and no more magic 4 made him harder to use.
    6. Hit Confirming 1,1,1 on CH to get the heat dash launcher is SUPER HARD, not easy.
    Law is super good during heat dont get me wrong, but his problem from T7 persist, his keepout tools is whack and no fast tracking move in midrange, also now he has a new problem which now his whiff punisher is not as strong anymore and definitely weaker compared to other character, he also doesnt have a far hitting launcher to punish a -15 move now.

    With all due respect, when you say for almost every point "yeah just step it" , this is valid for most of Dragunov's kit too. if someone delays a few frames, you still take damage. Such fast moves cannot be stepped on reaction. For heat, you listed every perks confirming how OP his heat is. For Nunchaks, they track well on both, even right side. For DSS inconsistency, mashing works well enough. I agree with you that Law is not broken( though the 10f CH launcher should go.. ) , but he is really super strong in T8, I would definitely rate him S tier next to Jin, Alisa, Lili, Nina etc... He is not God tier like Feng but not far off IMHO.

High level Laws like Double and Malgu does this constantly and it's what's making him scary.

      Yeah but with that mindset you should never step any characters.
      Tekken 8 defense still has mind games. You’re better off stepping moves when law is in DSS till they start mixing with homing.
      Just yesterday I beat a mighty ruler law because he never mixed in a homing move in his DSS pressure, making it a relatively easy dub.
      Same with drag, I played him for fun for the past two days, and the people who actually choose to step make it significantly more difficult to implement my massive frames vs the people who choose just to hold back and only block.

    As a law main, WS4 DSS is really easy right now but no one never talked about instant ws4
    You can have a plethora of setting up WS4
    But you need a visual cue and buffer DF enough to make law in crouching status.
    The thing is you still needed his ws4 pressure to have a 50/50.
    It can be jab interrupt and law is one of the most predictable characters sinfe every set up he does is from crouch to have a great pressure and 50/50
    i could say he is A+
    I can't say his S cause you'll never seen a situation from High level where the Opponent is on LOCK DOWN always from S tier characters.

      the difference is that kazuya's mixup works is due to wavedash covering much more distance aswell as having Ws2 launcher that tracks to discourage ss also his mixup all have similar range once they get into that range you have to respect. Law does not.

    I’ve been using Law for years and Law is the best he’s ever been right now ( like most characters) I think his biggest buff is the numb chucks , but you know what? In tekken 7 , I always felt like he needed something like that and he finally got it.
    Also, Law is easier but that’s also GOOD because in tekken 7 , he was so hard to use that the majority of law players couldn’t even maximize his damage because he was simply TOO hard due to execution. Law was easy to use HARD to master so I’m glad hes easier now for new comers. Law also brings in a lot of players because he’s Bruce Lee. But there isnt anything that makes Law stand out amongst other characters though that other characters don’t have.
    Literally, LAW Is good but I’ve never thought he had any moves that are CHEESE.
    Examples: Jun’s heat special is CHEESE. It heals and has too much range.
    Devil Jin’s Heat special is CHEESE.
    KINGs whole character is CHEESE in T8.
    NINAS guns are CHEESE because of the chip damage.
    Victor is CHEESE. Just press TRIANGLE!!.
    Dragonuvs damage was CHEESE. Because it takes no execution and never did!

      @@jaytheshwatchyomouth5544 true, but compared to other characters, he is way too overturned and has way more tools to overwhelm opponents. Look at EVO japan and how dominant LAW was, I am sure those guys weren't as amateur like me.

    “Linear, step it” in regards to uf 3. The slide tracks. It’s still a 50/50 Lmao. This character is for glue sniffers and we still have people down playing him. It’s tekken 7 Jin all over again, I’m sick.
