Are people finally ready to “face the truth” about Clive?
This is the Korean T8 tournament, Winners final: a mirror match between two Clive’s.
During the match, you know what one of the Clive’s was doing and winning with? Spamming F1+2 the entire match.
Look, I do not want to hate on Clive, and I do think he’s a cool character; but we have to stop downplaying this guy: he needs nerfs, badly.
“He’s got bad pokes you just gotta be patient and play small Tekken against him!” Dude you have 60 seconds, Clive is throwing shit at you nonstop, his power crush nearly stops any momentum an opponent is trying to build up. Particles are all over the screen so you can’t even tell what this guy is hitting you with half the time.
Bad pokes? His toolkit and gameplan more than balances out his bad pokes and Clive’s are starting to get really good with poking and breaking grabs I’ve noticed so playing small Tekken isn’t as viable as it sounds anymore.
I’ve beaten some good Clive’s, and I’ve lost too MANY more and you can tell I was having to work 20x harder and barely surviving still just to get those wins.
T8 is an already unbalanced mess at the moment and Clive is making it worst. Again, I do not want to hate on Clive, and I want Tekken to be a fun and enjoyable game but downplaying Clive and saying “git gud” against what feels like a boss character is not good at all for Tekken.
This dude is insane, and I’m glad more people are starting to openly call Clive out because the amount of hate people are getting for trying to point out how busted Clive is right now is unbelievable.
My honest thoughts: too a lot of us, he’s everything we dislike about T8 rolled into one character and locked behind a paywall, that is not okay.
I know this is gonna get downvoted to hell but fuck it.
I’ve been playing Tekken all my life, and still even own 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in their physical copies and played T6, Tag2, 7, and now 8 online competitively; Clive has frustrated me in a way that could only be rivaled by Geese and Akuma in T7; I’m not some old head jumping in from T3 15 years ago and then went straight to T8 lol. Rn, cool character, but screw Clive
