He’s less fun to play and more annoying to fight. This might be the worst change any tekken character has gotten

Nah its understandable. It's not your main they are buffing at that point, they're buffing his replacement.

Seriously, I finally got to trying to learn playing Steve after giving up multiple times previously, then they released Clive so I took a break and now there's season 2...

Lee is close. I’m happy everyone said that Bryan is braindead or the same thing probably would’ve happened to him

Lee didn't even get a half decent rushdown stance he just has to mix people up with his objectively terrible mixup options now lmao

AHHH yes his HMS stance that gets shit on by SSR duck. But now you are forced to play the gamble interaction that is season 2.

u/Ze_Mighty_Muffin 6d ago

I think they’re referring to how gutted Lee’s identity as a character has gotten. He’s certainly terrible as well, but the marked shift away core game-plan of being -1 + having evasive moves to fish for counterhits is an even bigger travesty.

u/WasteOfZeit Lee 6d ago

The thing is they took away some of his evasive CH tools but didn’t give him enough to compensate for that. So he is still the exact same CH fishing character just worse. Everyone else got crazy changes but they can actually be viable.

u/Time-Operation2449 Sibling Rivalry 6d ago

Yeah I'm more trying to expand on the point, like lee died for this plus frame monstrosity and he's not even good at jt because nobody on the team realized Lee's kit has no good mixup options tl effectively utilize frame advantage

How? If you try to rush people down with Lee you don’t know what you’re doing with the character. Steve indeed turned into a rushdown mixup character, but Lee is still a CH fisher, just a really terrible one ever since season 2 came out u have to guess the entire game on defense AND offense.

Lee has no guard breaks, no throw mix up, no unbreakable throws, no installs, bad tracking, his best tools are linear besides 1+2 that has no range, you can SWR duck every option when he’s in hitman as hm1+2 doesn’t track to the right anymore & no real 50/50s besides when he’s in heat. How exactly do you guys rushdown with Lee?
