A friend in the scene is telling me that the hardcore Tekken players are having a meltdown over this, while the casual enjoyers don't mind it.
Every competitive player in every fighting game has a meltdown over huge patches. Tekken veterans haven't been happy with how aggressive Tekken 8 is compared to 7. Sounds like the new patch has many buffs making characters even more powerful to run their gameplan.
It’s probably this?
Patch 2.00 also changes the Point Gain/Loss System. Now, the higher your opponent’s rank is, the more points you will earn for a win. Moreover, the lower your opponent’s rank is, the more points you will lose for a defeat.
Matchmaking rankings are imprecise for the top players which can lead to big swings when weights are applied. Similar problem in Dota.
Isn't that relative. I.e. "higher" as in "higher than yours"? I.e. the way MMR works in most competitive games like chess?
Also the change to grabs. If you react and push the correct command to cancel your opponents grab you’re still taking damage now. That’s the only complaint I’ve seen people complaining about online.
