It still pisses me off how they made him this busted *on purpose* They saw T pain cosplaying Leroy, they saw the overwhelmingly positive response to his visual design from the community, and they decided to make him _overwhelmingly_ broken on release to live up to the 'hype'. They have Mishima Star on the balance team, a man who knows what good tekken is and how it should be balanced. And they expect us to believe that he saw these numbers on Leroy and told them they'd designed a balanced character? They knew *exactly* what they were doing, and tarnished one of the greatest visual designs in tekken history forever with their terrible balancing of him.

Love this tekken revisited, especially on the older tekken games. Very nice to hear about charactrers you didnt have opportunity to play with in the past

Great video MainMan. While it was very unhealthy for the game, playing launch Leroy was fun that I will never forget. Such a great time when Tekken 7 was truly flourishing.

Love these type of videos. Please do this for the other Tekken 7 god tier characters! (like Fahkumram, S2 Geese, Akuma)

When launch Leroy hit, me and a couple buddies played right away. They played Leroy non-stop when he came out and since I was so inflexible, I just played my usual Miguel. They beat me up so bad with Leroy, by the time I got online to play ranked, I was so used to Leroy and he didn't seem like a problem at the time. Think my friends innoculated me against him. 😅

Thanks for breaking down, why he was that broken on release. But to be fair, I don't think that Leroy remains top 5 after all these nerfs and after the release of Fahkumram and Lidia. Most people are really scared of Leroy's past, I don't think that he's that big of a problem today. You also barely see him in tournaments. I mean, he's a top tier character, but not as broken anymore as most people think.

to this day i still say, bandai namco saw the overwhelming positive reception to leroy and felt they had no choice but to give the people their moneys worth. the character that put me on a months hiatus after 2 and a half years straight of tekken 7.

@RJALEXANDER777

2 жыл бұрын

I think the trick to making a character cool is you have to appreciate the heart/soul of their martial art and make their playstyle reflect it. It's why characters like King, Jin and Steve are so iconic. Say what you will about characters like Hwoarang, Lei and Eddy being annoying, but thematically they're a 10/10 in their moves and playstyle. To make Leroy good he'll have to reflect Wing Chun better. A lot of his moves are spot on, but overall he just plays like a pretty braindead, generic character.

they will never make a move -16

The only good thing that Leroy did for pro scene is Ulsan destroying Chikurin with Bob against the 3.0 Leroy on the finals if EVO Japan

I've been playing Tekken on and off since Tekken 4, for a total of approximately 5 years of non-casual gaming. When Leroy dropped I dropped Tekken and the fighting games completely.

he was busted on release, now, i believe overall fakurham or lidya are better, still the biggest issue is the easy execution and lack of moves is like they went around slapped some of the best moves of other tekken characters and that is it. he has very few moves compared to other characters if you are playing against a person that knows leroy wel and your not a top tier player you are not going to win, the back 4/ sweep yes it is the best thing that he has now .
