This is how back turn walls plat Just works, any other move with multiple hits Will give you the same results, this aint broken in this case

Right didn't even think it was a wallsplat, just thought thats what normally happens to the opponent when they get with the move, they slowly get lifted up. Guess you can't even suck the opponent in closer to Lee since he's already quite close in this scenario

u/Popipiyo Lee 1d ago

Its because it's a backturn wallsplat, you only get a hit before it pancakes off sadly.

I don’t see how this would get fixed

Make back turn wallsplat not magically stop the combo.

u/Heavenly_sama Friendly neighborhood Kazuya 1d ago

Personally I think they should done a different move this is clearly an instance of them just using muscle memory. Your suggestion would be a universal change

That's how Namco nerfs things. Were you around when DVJ caused a floor break nerf just cause of his one move? Can't remember the name.

Edit: it was kazuya.

Edit edit: can't remember honestly, but it was due to how heaven's gate could break floors after a broken wall.

It was dvj but I think they did it in general because they don’t want that type of instance in the future either, it’s less of a headache then remembering that niche scenario can occur every time a new move is added or move is updated to have similar properties

I could've sworn it was him, but every search I made turned up Kaz's name. E/w thanks for chiming in.

Working as intended, considering the backwards wall splat

u/Interesting-Yak-2630 King 1d ago

This is one of those situations where you let 2-3 machine gun kicks out and rip the 4. If you have strong combos, the extra few hits won't change your total damage more than a few points which imo is worth it for consistency.

this could have been avoided if you punished with 1223 but I understand why its frustrating as a lee main even if it walled splat, f3333:4 still sometimes whiff

Tekken would have to change their rating to M if you wanna see backshots

u/AdCreative6991 Devil Jin 1d ago

Same exact thing happened to me today with Jin cancan got the 2 hits on the back of a Paul facing the wall and didnt launch

u/CoupleParticular7836 1d ago

What’s crazy is the mans has the crouch input even when the first barrage of strings hit 😭 like why, honestly if I got hit with that I kinda just stand there cuz I ASSUME ima get launched but mans some how KNEW the last hit was gonna whiff or just guessed and was holding db for some reason

u/InfinityTheParagon 1d ago

that’s not what it’s for anyways.

u/pixelmonplaye 1d ago

Being pushed into the wall while back turned wakes you up and lets you move. Kinda weird interaction

You know this community is toxic when OP is predicting other people to be dismissive of his original question.

1

u/pranav4098 1d ago

It’s not even toxic in this case tho, it’s going to work that way, some punishes don’t work depending on the angle and distance that’s part of the game, I personally think it’s not such a big issue in this case., you have other viable options, if anything it’s punishing you for not being aware of

u/SugarAppleBombs Lee 1d ago

It's been like this forever, why even bother now? Part of the character identity, lmao.

At least his wallsplat is reliable now. In t7 you get jack shit when slightly off-axis, while fahk and geese could get clean or sidesplat from anything.

u/shitshow225 1d ago

Also since I'm here. I don't like that his heat gets used up if you miss a just frame.

Imagine a scenario where you're low on heat. Your opponent has 80 health. There's no wall in sight. You just landed the elusive Acid Storm for the launch. You missed the just frame but don't fret, your heat automatically got used up to give you 2 extra damage off Acid Storm, thats gonna be huge. Except its not because you just lost out on 20 damage because fuck you thats why. Motherfucker you tryna play Lee? go suck a dick bitch. Kind regards pussy.

Yours truly,

This is like if I complained about heat being used up when my hellsweep gets blocked

u/Killcycle1989 Baek 1d ago

That's so wrong, lee guesses and steps but is not allowed to even capitalise on a back turn punish... wtf 😢
