Why it's so rare to see Paul in Tekken 8 Tournaments?

[yharnamsunrise]

Paul's shtick for the longest time was he did crazy damage and had bad pokes. Now when every character has 50/50s for high damage Paul is just left with bad pokes

"I'm in top condition."

- Ironically, that was T7 Paul and not T8.

[VNSnake]

Or simply because he just hasnt changed much since... TK1.
Like bro, the dude still has 1 2 as his 10f punisher.

On the t8 character reveal, Paul's UB2 was a counter-hit launcher, but when he became playable, they removed the CH launcher. Go watch it! I wish they kept that!

[RationalMinded]

It's the range for me. I constantly feel like I'm out of range with Paul. Demo man not hitting clean sometimes at the wall just feels wrong lol.

[kusuriurisan]

I still remember people having a fit and saying Paul is now broken after the new patch lol

[harunkucuk]

Yep he kinda lost his identity in t8. So many more characters deal way more dmg than him

[alimuddinhardy]

Finally someone address the issues, THANK YOU

[CB]

I really appreciate your presentation style. It's easy to follow and has just enough information to be informative

Paul is basically still playing T6 in T8. He hasnt had any dramatic changes in the last few games, almost a decade old. So the fact everyone knows how to deal with him is tough. A few things they can do is literally make some of his actaul strings natural combos. Like d1, 4, 2 and also make the 4 sweep regardless of CH considering you cant combo off it and it being launch punishable for a true 50/50. Make his D1, 2 crush jabs more efficiently again. You know, the smaller stuff. He doesnt have that many true strings either.

Another thing they can do to increase pauls pressure and 50/50s is to remove the deep dive from back sway and just make it a seperate input to the move. Therefore only commiting to a back sway or pressure considering his dive df2, 1 can be ducked and 2, 3 being punishable on block.

Ill keep dreaming though.

I'm main King and I'm sad for Paul, he's a classic character and deserves respect. It's not normal that they've improved the rest of the classics like Kazuya, Nina, Yoshimitsu, Kuma, King... and they don't pay attention to Paul.

[knox]

First they nerfed his character. Then his hair, and now his moves.

[paulymerx]

Return Paul to his former glory :(((. I miss him being a damage powerhouse

[KaviWar]

It seems that in the game there are only Dragunov, Nina and Jin, all the tournaments are filled with these characters. Where are Leroy, Zafina, Leo, Devil Jin, Xiayou, Steve, Lee...? It seems that they play another game.

[figlego]

The worst part is Paul was only like mid tier in 7

[Armondo]

paul is so hard to play no joke i getting slammed

[CarelesssXeno]

I tell folks all the time Paul does alot of damage but in a game of getting the upper hand 85-90% of the roster can pick him apart no problem.

[OleGrizzli]

I thought I was tripping with how stubby Paul feels compared to everyone else’s hit-boxes😂

[rickberny]

Tbf, using bryan as an example of "characters who outdamage paul" is a lottle bit stupid, as if bryan isnt a dmg monster himself, using characters like yoshi, feng or nina would have made more sense

[rocknflip]

tekken 7 Paul was the best version over 8 for sure
