Playing Dragunov made me understand how valuable a mid homing move is.

I feel like Dragunov got left behind. They nerfed his pressure when he was strong, then they buffed every other character to the point where they overtook Dragunov and he still hasn't been brought up to the new standard.

They made dragunov weak because of you 😅❤️

Jdcr HUGE respect man. I am really impressed with just how good your English is getting. You are significantly easier to understand.

First. Also dragonov is very spooky i like him only for that lol

Honestly that's perfect for me,if dragunov is an honest character and is not too gimmickey or too many mix ups,he requires more fundamentals and outsmarting the opponent which sounds a very nice challenge for me.

I feel as the game has progressed Dragunovs tools and game plan have become less prominent. It seems like every season newer characters have better pressure and better frames. It’s doesn’t help that they keep nerfing the tracking on running two. I honestly feel like the character needs better frames or tracking on some of his other moves. Even though he got a few buffs in season three they basically just gave him some of his old properties and frames from season one. They still lacks all the better frames and tracking they had in seasons one. I am surprised they haven’t nerfed Paul as much as Dragunov. In my opinion Paul needed the nerfs in seasons two not Dragunov. JDCR was the only one winning with the character.

The instant wr2's are scary

As a Dragunov main myself, we’ve been waiting for this vid and I freaking love it

the end reminded me the flashbacks from jdcr vs lil majin game

I talk about briefly how I feel about Dragunov in the video. So, Dragunov has good poking and attack but he lacks of counter-hit move, tricky-setup and safe-launcher.

Dragunov: 1% health

JD sidesteps are so good, a video on how to read your opponent would be good

Dragunov was the de facto character that represented the Tekken 7 less movement more aggression path that Namco took. Too bad the over season 2 and 3 the buffs to other characters and the new characters basically meant that even the defense characters can keep up with Drag or some of the others simply became better than him at his job.

Totally agreed. Drag has no counterhit game whatsoever, the only thing I can think of is his 1 2 1 CH confirm, and even that is so much effort for so little reward.

Really love your videos JDCR! You always share a lot of your knowledge and help us become better players, thank you! ❤

Really what's happened to Dragunov (as well as many other characters) is power creep in S3. He's less standout than he was before. There's a considerable gap between him and the current top5 characters in the roster.

Leroy and Fuckerman marks the end of the Greatest fighting game series ever made. Its sad really, but its true. Most of the old cast dont even compare in strenght to the new DLC chars, or the 2D chars for that matter too. T7 is in my opinion both one of the best(sales, number of players and good scene) and Worst in the series.
