So apparently Knee and the MAINMANSWE and other notable voices feel xiaoyu needs to be nerfed to hell again after loosing every setup she had in Tekken 7 at the end of season 5.00 where she can no longer use wall setups. Furthermore Knee suggested on twitter removing aop d, the added butterfly motion which must be timed to evade more mids. I’m aware she needs a very slight adjustment with the safety of hypnotist 3 as I feel the knockdown damage should be reduced and it’s unsafeness be increased relative to the steps she takes because no one should get a launch for free but why not talk about Jin’s d2 or devil jin heat smash and combo resets from grounded? Xiaoyu has the worst tracking and range in the game… At what point do we learn the matchup and actually provide counterplay? The idea that xiaoyu gets free wins is absurd… please tell me what’s cheap about this gameplay or unbeatable about this gameplay?

lmao the DJ using MC3 and QC3 on his life to shutdown AOP. You can punch jab him out of MC3 very slow move. They def need to do something about DJ's & Jun's Heatsmash. That shit completely ruins the neutral game, it's pretty much never your turn.

You gotta admit hyp stance mixup is kinda busted especially on heat and the low is only -12

I hate playing with xiaoyu, simply because i can't understand her, that dj definitely read you like a book, no mishima player that reached tekken king rank would be weak af

Nerfs for what? 3rd least picked character in the game and has a very high skill ceiling. She has no 13 frame mid pokes and no quick ch launchers from neutral. What are you nerfing? Even her parries don’t give you any thing anymore. Great video! 👍🏽this is just me voicing thoughts

Both have weakeness. I am annoyed with people calliing them "op" when in reality is that they are only "op" because people either don't know the matchup or because of 1 ir 2 moves. Listen Xiaoyu Hyp stance and Devil Jin heat smash is annoying i get it but to say they have no weaknesses is just wrong. Xiaoyu is a lot more unsafe than people realize and DJ only has two lows which are unsafe which he is reliant (especially if they have a 13-14f ws punish). Moreover, they difficult to use with Xiaoyu who is hard to use due to her gameplan and DJ execution. It annoys me the most that there are also type of people who would defend characters like Dragunov! Like this mf has virtually no weakness with having best wall carry, good heatsmash, movement, throws and strings. He went from having one of the worst wall combo in Tk 7 to having the best wall combo in Tk 8 and being hard to braindead easy. Some would defend him by using pathetic that 'he is easy to beat' yeah tell that to actual pro players. Both are Xiaoyu and DJ are overturned but so is everyone else with the exception of few ahem Zafina, Leroy.
