Tekken 7 newer Leroy Smith is it's cool as hell, with dear dog divination. He is so strong and strong that almost all the players at the Evo Japan tournament last weekend used him to get there. For many, this was the inevitable end to a month of heated discussions about Loroy's place Tekken to compete. Loroy's distractors let their displeasure be known both at the race and on social media.
Leroy joined Tekken 7 circulated on December 10 and soon became a subject of discussion. The martial arts community saw his potential as a competitive character, some even calling him defeated due to its multitude of tools and damaging skills, and the ease with which players were able to score while using him. However, Leroy was not a big problem at the conventions in the first months, even though people who had problems saw it start to increase. That fear was eventually discovered in Evo Japan.
It was clear that Loroy would be a game in Evo Japan. The first one Tekken 7 The event matchup was between two of Loroy's players, and his presence continues to be a factor as the tournament progresses. Social media was filled with salty posts from key competitors who lost to Leroy and members of the public who were tired of watching the actor make a one-time broadcast. These players saw their worst fears from last month being considered one of the biggest in fighting games, and their disappointment was understandable.
But they couldn't lose Leroy. Ignoring the players who made good use of them made them unbearable for their success, and certainly had a strong face behind the opponent. Japanese electrician Yuta "Chikurin" Take it, whoa last month was in 2019 Tekken Former World Tour champion, he competed in the competition with Leroy, as did promoters such as Takumi “Noroma” Hamasaki and Genki “Gen” Kumisaka. These were not the celebrities who suddenly achieved great success, but dedicated competitors were elevated to that level by their ability. If anything, Loroy was Cherry on the top of a couple of blooms who were already talented.
That said, one would not overlook the large number of Loroy players who made the finals. Of the eight qualifying candidates, six went to competitors using the character of the year. The other two—Tekken World Tournament finalists So-hoon "Ulsan" Lim and Ryoto "MWO" Ikeda – made a great effort, but the lack of diversity in the fight meant they had to face a backdrop of powerful Loroy players. While introducing us, Ulsan light the message “Kill Leroy” on his phone before it was finally cut off by Noroma to the missing brackets. M feels managed to make it a victory game with the crowd firmly on his side, but he eventually lost a big final match to Loroy's user Nopparut “BooK” Hempamorn of Thailand, another notable player in his hand. While receiving his prestigious award, the recently crowned Evo Japan champion presented his thoughts with one simple message: "Choose Poroy."
The public outcry against Loroy may have led to the changes he received the pool tomorrow, though players will have to wait and see if the adjustment is big enough to cut off the character's momentum. In this age of official world tours and big money, it makes sense that developers of combat games will try to keep things as consistent and accurate as possible. But my personal opinion will always remain as if the strong characters add pleasure to fighting the game competition. That Chun-Li in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Bayonetta in Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U, or Leroy in Tekken 7, it's fun to have the character of being nominated as a villain, and to watch the elite players endure and overcome that difficulty. Of course, there will always be those few unscrupulous people in the community who use any excuse to undermine the effects of skilled fighters, but the nature of combat games means that defeated characters are inevitable. In the end, that extra conflict made the conferences of the martial arts much more enjoyable, and I welcome Loroy's army as long as they can maintain the border. Tekken to compete.
