She also feels, at least initially, like a character with a high ceiling.

She has a lot of effective punishes both on block and on whiff meaning that if you're well aware of your opponents options and frame advantage as well as your own options to counteract that, you can get a lot of reward for accurately judging the situation. What Lidia seems to mainly be about as a character is awareness. Granted, it took a little while before Fahkumram's power was truly noticed as well, so it is possible Lidia may hold some hidden strength that makes her a monster, but right now there's nothing that sticks out - so it's quite unlikely that this Polish Prime Minister will end up being a new Leroy, though it's impossible to rule anything out entirely when it's still this early. There's nothing inherently broken with her at first glance and the general consensus from where I've been looking and my own experience is that she's generally a stable and fair character. While opinions on her strength have varied from person to person since her release about 6 months ago, there was a clear consensus that she wasn't anywhere near the problem that had preceded her, with many considering her to be a decently fair character who has certain weaknesses and other strengths to balance her out.Īfter some time spent with the character, playing her a bit myself, but also analyzing Tekken streamers as well as friends who play the game and discussing her, Lidia comes off much in the same way. With this in mind, the first DLC character of Season 4, Kunimitsu, was a breath of fresh air.
#Tekken 7 character difficulty Patch#
These two characters have continuously been toned down in subsequent balance patches but have remained at the very top of the meta for quite some time, though it's too early to tell their status with this latest patch since it's so new (Leroy didn't get any nerfs, though, so his position is probably pretty clear). While fellow Season 3 members Zafina and Ganryu certainly weren't slouches in the strength department either, they were quickly and brutally overshadowed by Leroy Smith at first and later by the final character of said season, Fahkumram, who both turned out to be the demons of competitive Tekken, with feats such as 7 players in a top 8 using Leroy and the top 3 in a Topanga League all using Fahkumram. While the early years are something of a mixed bag as far as post-launch combatants go and how powerful they ended up being, Season 3 was notorious for the power levels of the brand new characters released in it. Tekken 7 has had a somewhat turbulent history when it comes to DLC characters in the past.
