With Steve its like you gamble most of your health away to get one launch that might give you 70-80 damage, most of which the opponent will regain because its recoverable
TMM is also not using his optimal combos, you can get 85-100 damage with walls in the fc df2 or dck 2 launches. Understandable since he plays so many characters and hasn't really had time to hone in Steve though. You're right about the gambling though, Steve not having a ws2 or df2 launcher is crippling against characters with good high crush
@@Kibzdabibz May I ask what is the Steve mix? All his good lows are launch punishable (qcf2, stomp) so more gambling and the non launch punishable lows (d1, fc df1, d2,1) aren't good enough to worry about imo
@aqueelkadri8371 that's the point, his lows aren't that threatening, so you can keep spamming them lol. A good flowchart is to do d1 into weave 1,2 because people like to interrupt there.
One thing I learned about playing Tekken 8 is that if you play Tekken 8 like it’s Tekken 7 or any of the previous Tekken games, you are going to get fucked. Badly
Watching TMM take that Paul ass whooping made me feel better about how I get done sometimes in blue ranks lmao. Sometimes you just get Molly whopped and have to take the L
he has many auto pilot setups if you know them he is chill only his inputs are giga exhausting easy hardest inputs in the game (outside of max combo dmg)
@@ranges787ur right but what’s the hardest the most is his gameplay it’s extremely hard to play with him while having all this flashing charecters he is too generic
Watching you rank Lars would be a great also! How someone of your Mishima pedigree would navigate the one with the opposite of all their favorite moves would be a TRIP to see! Gg's!
I was thinking of starting playing Steve, and while training with him I realized how hard it is to play him, the execution he requires really does not match how strong he is
@@IntermediateRepresentation yeah execution wise he is definitely easier then 7, gameplay wise he is harder for sure, since with this game you can see the disadvantage of not having a 50/50 much more than 7. while you had to work so much to launch someone in higher ranks, there are characters who can just launch you in a stupid string and thats really frustrating, and his damage is so low compared to 7 too
I mean his combos are way easier than in t7 if thats what you mean by execution but otherwise he is definetely weakier than he was in t7, the overall damage reduction on counter hit launchers for t8 affect him a lot but thats just for combos
Today I reached tekken emperor with Steve, it’s so difficult to play with him I really understand u main man I have so many controllers that got ruined trying to learn him to that level
Steve's limits really show when he's up against a character like Yoshi or Kazuya. His awful heat throws or heatsmash that hits once a every six months is literally peanuts compared to the billion dollar life stealing slashes Yoshi has or the keep out explosive wave kazuya has in heat. Steve has no wall carry combo Dmg ch game or mix ups. All he's left with is below average poking and flowcharts even green ranks can predict easily. And the best thing about LH stance is that it can be avoided now 😂. Even the replacement steve got for losing his Ch launchers is gone.
Idk how useful it is but you have access to his while crouching DF2 from flicker. You go into FL while holding back and then roll into a crouch cancel into DF2
as a steve main who doesnt play that much and is moving int oblue ranks...you need to play 5x that good sometimes is a understatment...sometimes i think when i played against cahracters like nina,dragunov,feng,alise steve should have like +1 frame on everything...
@@tristanherb49 believe me that move was 0 track before and now It has every tracking in the world. And yes it's safe and does more dmg then previous games.
As a steve main been a steve main since tekken 4 steve is hard to play with you gotta learn how too his mix ups you gotta learn his stances and work on timing its tough playing competitive
In a game that's already over tuned they aren't needed all they do is save people that struggle with comebacks, like sure we can bait it out but then it becomes a turtle match to see if they will throw it out. Personally I feel they should only be available in combos if they are going to have them, no way should I hit a player with 2+ hits and that crap beats me out.
Is it me or does Steves damage in T8 look kinda lackluster compared to other characters? Almost everyone including gimmicky characters such as Yoshi or Xiaoyu can do 100+ combos and Steve struggles to take 40% with heat and a wall
He can do some things that hurt a lot, but it is tougher to get those opportunities. What doesn’t make sense is that every character seems to do just as much damage.
Hey bro, no doubt your fundamentals are great. But if you are struggling with Steve, then there is nothing wrong in getting coaching from a pro Steve player. Any pro that you respect. Just a thought. 💪
Steve is the only time in tekken i have ever tried to pick up a new character and then just drop them. Once you understand just how much effort he is and how truly trash he is, you realize it's just not worth it.
He's not trash lol, you just need to work harder with him than other characters. Super rewarding though if you have good defense, you just can't play mindless offense with him after purple ranks or so.
@@VermilionGatesSuper rewarding? It looks to me like he gets a fraction out of what any other character would get out of defense. I don't use him, but it looks like he works much harder and gets less for it. If I'm missing something on him that makes him not bad, please enlighten me, because again, I don't use him
@chakrashadow3220 Steve is a movement based character, get good with his weaves and reading your opponent and you can dominate. Steve is still A tier, he has the potential to be S tier even if a person is willing to put all of their work into this character. Look at Heera Malik or Shinblade and you'll see that Steve is strong in the right hands
@@VermilionGates So that's why he looks weak to me. I mostly use Jin, with Kazuya as a side, so he's just fundamentally different from them. Thanks for the explanation.
@@VermilionGates ws22 is a natural combo most likely ws2 just doesn’t connect like said only 2f window so it’s not that easy but by far his best option for that +8 into lnh
It's weird to see this about Lidia in EU, in SA there's A LOT of Lidias, at least between orange to blue ranks. But honestly, for ranked, why would someone stick with Lidia when Jin, Nina, Dragunov, Yoshimitsu, Feng, King and Alisa exists?
i'd rather have t8 steve removed and replaced with t7 steve, literally every single thing about him is a downgrade, them adding lionheart only made them remove and compromise on a lot of other stuff he had even though lionheart is shit
@@kry7999 it definitely didn't make him better, the opposite actually it made him a bit boring IMO. But I think it's a fact: If you play Steve how you did in T7, you gonna have a bad time.
You said you hope Lidia finds a fanbase - But i think they kinda destroyed the old fanbase. Shes a full fletched Stance Character now. Thast not what she was in T7. She had stances and had stance pressure in some situations. But now her whole identity is stance pressure. I was a Lidia main in T7 but i really dislike her gameplay now.
