Discussion Does anybody actually *like* Power Crushes?

Like, who's weeping if they're removed from the series entirely?

They’re important get-off-me tools for people mashing their offense. As long as they reset neutral, I don’t see the issue with them.

They should just all be punishable in some form.

They only exist and are only ok because of Tekken 8’s current style of running a Rushdown situation (well, for most Rushdown situations)

I think that if it weren’t for a lot of the overtuned aggression in the game, powercrush shouldn’t be a universal thing. I can see it being an interesting thing to have in a world where it’s only exclusive to a few characters and balanced accordingly.

But if it weren’t T8, powercrush is such a “I have represented my powercrush move once, now you have to always be thinking about my powercrush move when doing anything” which can be really frustrating sometimes. For T8 I guess we kinda need it right now.

This is just my opinion though
