Tekken players: “Honestly the Namco balancing team have no clue what they’re doing, how do you take away something that is seen as a legacy part of this game and instead focus on canned 50/50s that are so brain dead and boring, movement options are completely useless”

Good luck! I’ve heard Candice is going to be there too, trains with Mind Goblin a lot. Really strong players in the US, would be cool to see you guys play each other
“So ssr jab isn’t a consistent option against Akuma when he does demon flip because once he does the 4 option his hitbox changes to the point where it just straight up avoids the jab and he gets a full combo like isnt that ridiculous? You gotta be range aware too so be careful..”
Hi guys. I'm Gosain. Tekken competitor and commentator from London, UK.
I'm looking to compete in this year's TWT and have made a short introduction to myself in this graphic.
RTs appreciated!
There's no fucking way, you guys absolutely smashed the donation goal. Shoutouts to everyones support, I promise I will do you guys proud. The love from the community is crazy, I appreciate every one of you. Can't wait to go CEO, it's gonna be a good one for sure. RELOAD THE LAW!
Why make sidestepping better in this game if all they want is just 50/50s all the time? I really don’t understand, game is already stressful enough in a ft2 and now it’s just getting even worse lmao
Should’ve just picked up GGS if all I’m playing is canned mixups and no movement
You cant step Lars options anymore after the change. He had to risk his life before for SEN 1/SEN 3+4 now he can just go for it. Namcos balancing decisions are too "lazy" trying to fix things the easy way hence creating bad interactions...
Just dont do DEN 3 if rage is available
I will be stepping in as the replacement for Atif at
#RedBullGoldenLetters
Of course, it's sad he won't be here as he is a very special player, I wish him a swift recovery InshaAllah.
I'm going to do my best in this tournament, don’t count me out. Time to put in the shift 🫡
9th place at
#Takedown2023
. Had a decent run but ran into some strong players. So close yet so far, still suffering from the 9th place curse 😅 Ggs to
@tekkenUlsan
and
@PBE_AK
, it’s not over yet though. This is just the start of the grind, looking forward to the rest of my stay!
Got my big international win today at CT! All my matches were so difficult and I was dealing with body pain the whole weekend. It really meant a lot to get the win today and have my friends support me the whole way through. GGs guys and hope I can stay consistent now! HO YEAH 🤙🏽
What a great exhibition and a great start to the weekend.
Can’t wait to play some more later on! Thanks everyone for the kind words, but it’s not over yet. See you guys in the next coming days ❤️🫡
Might be a hot take, but outside of the bugged throws and u1+2 which will get patched, I think Victor is mostly balanced as a T8 char. There are clear strengths and weaknesses with him and there is counterplay that yields good reward for the opp. Pls no copy pasta
Watching
@212Ninjakilla
's T8 Law is making me want to play more, he's so much fun! I remember watching you during Tag 2 days, now I'm watching you playing T8.
Time flies, hope to see you at more Tekken tournaments in the future bro. Big fan 🫡
On the plane heading to Saudi for
@Gamers8GG
. One of our comrades has been out doing some reconnaissance 👀 so we’ll get a sitrep when we arrive.
Team UK on the way 🇬🇧 Looking forward to meeting up with everyone again!
Hey guys, just wanted to say thank you for all the kind words and support on my segment! I tried my best to break down Victor as much as I could in my condition 😅
I’m very much looking forward to playing him more and after this I hope you guys are as excited as I am too! 🤙🏽🫡
On the way home now, this trip is so valuable to me not just for tournament experience but also good memories to look back on and cherish.
This was an amazing opportunity and I’m so happy to be a part of something like this. Thanks again everyone for the love and support ❤️🫡
Turning 21 today, not really into big celebrations or parties but what I do appreciate are the family and friends that have helped me become who I am today.
Twitter chars aren’t enough to express how I truly feel when I say that so I’ll just leave it with this,
Thank you ❤️☺️
Flying out to Vegas for
#Evo2023
, super excited! Can’t thank everyone who supported me enough, I’m truly grateful to everyone that made this to happen. Hope to make you guys proud 🫡
Reflecting on this past week, seeing everyones kind and thoughtful messages really humbled me. I greatly appreciate every one of you guys, it's made me feel even more motivated to compete this year.
That is why I'm starting a donation drive on my stream to attend CEO!
On the train back now. 5th Place again at VSF 😅 Not bad for a part timer I guess, but still stings I couldn’t perform better in Top 8. Combo dropping is a standard but that was a new level for me 😂
Was fun seeing everyone, not sure what event is next for me. Till then, ggs!
Unfortunately out at 5th place at the Nations cup, I feel a little upset in my performance since I wasn’t capable of pulling my weight during the tournament.
I’m proud of
@byJoka
and
@KungFuKobi
for playing out of their minds. Sorry to disappoint you guys, confidence is key.
Honestly Jae, I think this is really disrespectful. Clearly undermining the results that the UK had in 2018-19, we did travel out internationally and we did do damage. And tbh I'd rather spend my money more reasonably, 1-2k on one event compared to multiple EU events...
Would love to see the day that UK players would actually travel to EVO when this Covid stuff is done. Really want to see how they do when you put some real money on travel, flight and entry on the line rather than just taking a train to another area.
So close yet so far, wasn't able to make it to the top 8 phase of the regionals. So many chances but I wasn't able to close it out, choked pretty hard but it's all good. Was cool to make it this far, just gotta take it under the chin. Thanks everyone for your support, means a lot
Didn’t do the best, but it is what it is. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for supporting me and believing in me, although my run was very short lived 🥲 Loads of nerves, really need to work on that. Anyone got some advice? ;(
This weekend really ignited my passion for this game. Really proud of my consistency recently and I’m now looking for a team that can support me in travelling to more tournaments. My DMs are open and I can provide a portfolio of my results. RTs are appreciated ☺️🤙🏽
Got my big international win today at CT! All my matches were so difficult and I was dealing with body pain the whole weekend. It really meant a lot to get the win today and have my friends support me the whole way through. GGs guys and hope I can stay consistent now! HO YEAH 🤙🏽
Just boarded on the plane, about to head out to the first leg of the triple whammy that I’m about to do during these two weeks; Pakistan, Jordan, then Dubai!
It’s gonna be an amazing couple weeks and I can’t wait to see everyone and experience great Tekken first hand! Esketit 🤙🏽
Been seeing a lot of people saying they don’t like the balancing of the game and complaining about the current state. Just a reminder, we’re currently playing Tekken 8.0.
We are witnessing what it was like when older Tekkens were getting constantly patched in the arcade versions
Safely landed back in London, 120 characters isn’t enough to describe how much fun I had this weekend. All I can say is that it was an amazing time, I’m gonna miss CB.
Was great seeing everyone, hope we meet again soon! And I hope to perform better too, I know my potential.
Obligatory plane selfie before flying off, starting our journey to Japan. First stop 🔜 Shanghai! See you guys on the other side, can’t wait! 😁🫡 shoutouts to

@TKJDCR
and
@holyknee
so I can’t complain. Was great to play them, proud of my performance but I’m also happy that I’m having fun too.
It’s been a great weekend, hope I can maintain this level for this upcoming season. Thanks guys 🫡
[BREAKING] The Saudi Esports Federation owned by the Government are running a Saudi-Only
#TEKKEN
event on 14-15 August in Riyadh 🇸🇦
The event will be offline on PS4 and per sources the prize pool is between $700k - $1 Million USD
No news on where a stream will take place yet
Takra Cup was an amazing experience. Got to meet some great players and some amazing friends. Although I did get banged up pretty early, I’ve learnt a lot of things, I’m even more hungry to improve! Thanks to everyone who supported me and see you soon again, InshaAllah!
9th Place at VSF. So close to that Top 8 but I can’t be too upset about my performance. Crazy losers run during Top 96 all the way till the end. Well played to everyone, looking forward to the next tournament (:
Almost time for the first shift which is the 10 hour flight 😅 See you guys on the other side for
#CEO2022
where we'll have the cheat engine ready for offline Kappa 😶🌫️🙏🏼
5th Place in the end, not the result I was looking for but Alhumdulilah I'm grateful for the opportunity to perform on the big stage! Thanks everyone for your support, ggs to

Akuma still remains my demon to this day 😅 See you at the next one iA!
Just saw the patch notes....
COD Squad where ya at??
In all seriousness, I am really put off by these patch notes. Leroy got a slap on the wrist then a kiss on the cheek too.
I really don’t feel like competing in this years TWT if this will be the state of Season 3 😒
Reverting the running system in T8 would fix a lot of problems with this game imo. A lot of chars offense is tied to starting pressure with wr moves, this running system just makes said moves track way more than they should. Feeling less inclined to sidestep, this game is hard...
In light of this recent tekken twitter news, I have decided to take it upon myself to settle this properly - anyone who continues this beef is not allowed to pet the floof. That is all, thank you.
Ok so, I think the cat's out of the bag now, but...
I'm finally playing on PC!!! If anyone wants to add me, just reply to this tweet or dm me privately your friend code and I'll add you guys up for some games :D I'm going to try and stream in a bit so drop a follow and tune in!
I needed some rest to calm down and move on from what happened yesterday. Really disappointed in my performance, nerves caught up with me and I just wasn’t able to play at my best.
No credit taken away from
@JermyiaBlevins
or
@SuperAkouma
you guys both played really well, ggs
Man, what a Grand Finals.
@byJoka
I’m so proud of you bro. You played out of your mind. I know you’re not gonna be happy with 2nd which is stupid, but trust me you did amazing. On another level now man, can’t wait to see you do more damage 🫡❤️
Last tweet for today - Already missing everyone ;( I left quite early so if I didn’t get to say goodbye to you I’m sorry 😅 Was really nice seeing everyone, the one thing I love the most in this community is the people. Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon ❤️🤙🏽
Disrespectful to want to see UK players go to EVO? When did the UK Tekken scene become so soft? Clearly undermining nothing. I would like to see world class representation for Tekken rather than just EU and a tier list. Last time we had something like that Ryan Hart time.
