IMO, Kazuya's Laser Move Needs To Be Nerfed/Balanced Out

I think we all been through it. Being constantly spammed by lasers is one of the most annoying things to encounter, if not the most annoying.I noticed that Kazuya does not need recovery time after using the move while standing, in contrast to Devil Jin back in Tekken 5, if I remember right. Back then, if Devil Jin did the laser move, he would shake his head a bit, recovered and was vulnerable. I feel this needs to come back. People can just freely spam this all game round with little consequence. You can say that I should duck then quickly go up to Kazuya and punish, however if you try that, you will prob end up getting hit by his invincible/special art. What do you think? Sorry if I sounded unclear, it is quite late here (2:01 in the morning).

Well i haven't encountered many laser spammers.. I guess i i met only one and destroyed him with lili... But yeah i wouldn't mind, i play a lot as kazuya but his devil form is not something i like to use very much... Maybe only vs critical arts spamming laws

His laser move is pretty well broadcasted, and easy to dodge. What really needs nerfing is Law and Lars.

It is easy to dodge. The one when he flies up is a tad harder, since it is a side step and he flies up quickly. But nonetheless, it is dodge-able. However, my argument is that even with dodge, it can still be spammed with no consequence. So, do you really want to duck the whole game? The point I am trying to make is that he should have a recovery time so he does not do it over and over and over again. You can move up to him, but as I said, chances are he is going to his invincible/special art. You end up sometimes having it be: turns into devil Kazuya, spams laser, opponent ducks and reaches him, hits special art, laser, cycle continues.

I encountered a few. Even not encountering a few, I think facing spammers happens a lot of people, so I feel it should be fixed. As for special arts, I like it but I do think it should be worked on a bit more.

Dodge.

IMO, Hashis_Bunni Needs To Learn

i've always been able to duck, dodge the beam, run in and do a charge/dash attack of some sort and it'll hit.

it's not hard to sidestep it but playing against people that play like that is just frustrating.

I don't understand how people can enjoy themselves spamming the same button again and again. even if they win the fight, it's a pretty empty victory imo. I certainly wouldn't feel good about myself if I spammed an invincible move none stop. I already feel guilty if I use law's sweep move more than twice in a fight...

I agree that after avoiding the lasers, getting in to kaz is a lot harder now though btw. as soon as you run towards him he can spam an invincible move on you. knock you away and repeat the process. It's definately unfair. The lasers are easy enough, but they're just a set up really to bait you into his critical art (or whatever they're called).
