Season 3 is set to add Kunimitsu, Bob, Roger Jr. and an unnamed challenger to Tekken 8. The Season 3 balance patch is implementing a “back to basics” design philosophy which should hopefully address most of the issues fans have had with Season 2’s meta.
Most competitive players seem to agree that things are a little out of control at the moment for Tekken 8. As such, fans seem to be favoring universal nerfs over buffs for almost the entire roster.
It would seem that TheMainManSWE is also a fan of applying nerfs to virtually the entire roster. He recently released a video that has him talking about the nerfs he’d like to see for the current top tiers of Tekken 8.
Of course, it’s interesting to note that TheMainManSWE is also advocating for reductions for his own preferred character, Kazuya Mishima. TheMainManSWE believes that Kazuya should receive a few nerfs even though he personally doesn’t think the character’s design is problematic at the moment.
TheMainManSWE asserts that Bryan is the overall strongest fighter in Tekken 8 Season 2. Even though not many people play him due to his high difficulty curve, TheMainManSWE asserts that he’s in need of some nerfs as well.
Over the course of the video, TheMainManSWE talks about nerfs he’d like for King, Hwoarang, Claudio, Asuka, Jin, Law, Dragunov, Clive, Anna and Lee.
