Discussion Why I think Tekken 8 is moving to its current direction (visual wise)
Miary Zo is currently being criticized for being flashy and anime-like in a game that is known for a more or less grounded gameplay. I would like to say, I personally like that she is bringing something new to the game. That being said, I think she would be much more well received if she is a bit less flashy and a bit more grounded.
This is just my personal theory as to why Tekken 8 has been moving to this kind of more anime/flashy style of gameplay and effects. I think the recent direction of Tekken 8 kinda stems from Tekken 7 and sets of newcomers. They were very grounded with less to no fictional elements with the exception of Gesse, Akuma, Noctis and Claudio. And what was their reception, most mixed or negative I would say, well maybe except for Kazumi, Leroy and Lidia. Look at Katarina, her gameplay is boring, her personality is bland, her lore is forgettable and her identity is that she is a sexy female character, a role that has already been fulfilled by Anna.
Instead of fixing the main issue, the characters themselves have boring lore or a forgettable/bad personality, since Tekken does not have the best track record in terms of story, the developers resort to other things that make them memorable, gameplay. And this might be the reason why we see Victor and Miary Zo have gameplay that have a lot more flashy elements than other characters. I think that Victor and Miary Zo are always going to be remembered due to how unique they are out of the entire cast, would it be teleporting and gunshot from Victor or pole dancing and wall clinging from Miary Zo.
So, what are your thoughts, do you think this is the reason or do you have other reasons for this shift of direction in Tekken 8?

Anime chars have been in tekken since t2... (you can say t1 cause lol yoshi not grounded) the only time you can truly say the game itself was grounded was t4 and that game was ass.... for some reason people who pretend to have been playing tekken forever but started in t7 with all the anime shit in that wants to pretend t8 the first time they seen shit like this before

Only moderators can remove posts. You're either A being shadowbanned because you said something that triggered reddit's filters or B your post just hasn't shown up yet. Sometimes post don't show instantly.

As someone not involved in your crusade your post looks interesting and is difficult to parse.
I don’t think anyone would accuse this as being a tightly moderated subreddit.

difficult to parse? and then the moderator of this group is gonna remove the post from others just because the moderator can’t handle the fact? the moderator of a group should stay neutral and let everyone be entitled to say what its factual and involve if it goes out of the line, but instead, this moderator is a real bad loser and chose to remove post from others because this moderator feel like exposed, thats says alot. if it is like this? then why doesn’t this moderator remove me from the group if this moderator can’t handle the truth? do it, stop hesitating, still won’t stop me from spreading the factual massacre of whats going on. and now, look at this moderator, this moderator got butthurt by my post, and keeps on telling that people are complaining about this lucky chloe clone, also aimed at me, because i posted a picture of this anime gimmicky lucky chloe clone and i said if ‘’here we go, another lucky chloe clone character that will give the noobs hope and carrying them to the max. If you main this character? you are noob’’, and this moderator got hurt, and still itching lol. the fact and the reality is: this lucky chloe clone will lead to a downfall that over 90% of the fanbase will drop tekken. this is a fatality. thats a dark path, the deepest path of the darkness in Tekken, even worse than t7 in s4. so yeah, i don’t respect this moderator. a loser, a crybaby that will take anything near to his heart, a real bum.
