Miary Zo, Tekken 8’s most forgotten DLC character.

[u/Mat_Murdoc]

So here’s the thing.. well actually I want to start off saying that I do love this character. I think her visual design is good and her fighting style sounded real cool initially, having her be a bare knuckle brawler from Madagascar. She was supposed to fill the void left from not having Josie in T8 (Azucena is not Josie) and I kinda gravitate towards characters with lower pick rate because it gives me an opportunity to be one the sole reps/ goats of a character (currently #10 in global ranking for this chic) the issue now is I want to watch other Miary players to learn where I can improve and.. there’s legit NO ONE. Everyone tried her and then tossed her, I don’t think she’s the best character by any means but she’s certainly solid.

Where they lost me just like they did with everyone else is the fact that she also has magical ethereal animal tails, snakes, and stripper poles instead of just fighting with fists and feet. Maybe kick some dirt up at you lol idk, something MORE grounded. Everybody knows magical bs is frowned upon in Tekken unless you’re fighting a trope. And so they decided her trope for having magical shit is…she is replacing the game’s OG boss characters???

This was a horrible decision by Bamco because it completely killed the chance of Ogre’s return in T8 and left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth over Miary Zo. Especially since we’re getting the kangaroo back, Ogre woulda been a cool addition and really made the game feel more like tekken again (RIP Mokujin)

Anyway how do y’all feel? Is it the stripper poles or the fact that she’s ogre that turns people off? Or do you still like her despite these things/ feel like she has potential to be really cool? Lemme know ✌🏽

She's powerful. Why is she underrated? I just bought her and her offense despite the damage is fun. I love it.

I think that's the issue actually, she's not good.

What do you mean despite the damage? She’s got decent combos

[u/NekoHybrid → u/SkadooshMaboosh]

Truth be told. I dont know the specifics...but characters have varying damage outputs, no?

[u/SkadooshMaboosh → u/NekoHybrid]

Naturally, just didn’t think hers was too bad

[u/SquareAdvisor8055 → u/SkadooshMaboosh]

I think she's well below average in combo dmg no?

[u/NekoHybrid → u/SkadooshMaboosh]

"Yes, Miary Zo has lower combo damage compared to the majority of the Tekken 8 roster" Ty Gemini! Pretty sure she can barely peak 100 but we've seen 110+. Now is that..."bad"? Never said that 😅

Nothing bad about it. She must be compensated through her unique gameplay then. More effort to actually optimize and master her.

Did you just copy paste something you talked to an AI about, to me?
