“offensive buffs every patch instead of defensive balance” (141)
Delusional devs. Each patch buffs offense and adds new moves, instead of buffing defensive. In all other Tekken Games incl. T8 season 1, i had fun even when losing because i knew what i was doing wrong and could learn from these situations. But now it´s the matter who plays more aggressive... It´s not fun anymore playing this game and that says something when a game, especially Tekken, THE fighting is not fun anymore.
