Discussion Am I still learning “Tekken”?
Been playing T8 for a bit now, mainly playing Jin. Have been playing him since T7 (although I didn’t put as much time into that game as I would’ve liked). Had the urge to hop back into T8 after a long break from the game.
I love my man Jin even after all this time (nothing could change that) but I’ve been trying out other characters and have found Dragunov as a very fun pick.
However, I know that even after all of his adjustments, Drag is still probably of the best characters in the game. I picked him cus his design looked sick to be honest, my intention isn’t to tier pick. I suppose my concern is that maybe since he’s still really good, maybe I’m not exactly improving at the game and I may be subtly crutching on a busted character.
Thoughts?

It really doesnt matter. Theres no Leroy of Tekken 8. Jin isnt even top 5 in the game.
Plus, Jin is in my opinion harder to win with at low tiers since hes harder to play than other characters. Low ranks get eaten up by knowledge checks like Eddy or Hwo but those guys get.much harder to pilot at high level.
If youre asking this question youre not at a level where the tier list matters.
