    Im gonna learn Paul because i want to learn the matchup.


    You should, better also learn the Yoshimitsu and Vega matchup too, just sayin. Oh and Lili!


    I think Paul is going to lose traction rather quickly, and him getting overused is only going to make that process go by faster. Once people figure out what he's capable of, I see him falling off the radar. His match-ups are still mostly bad, but it may be too soon to tell.

    After day 2 I only ran into 2 Pauls and only one of them was decent. It feels like every team I face now is some variant of Law, Heihachi, Chun, Bryan and Guy

    The character people should be bandwagoning is King.

    King and Bob. Both are pretty scary in this edition but also very fun to fight.

    Christ Almighty, it's starting to look like Tekken 6.

    I'm seeing a lot of Chun, Bryan, Law, Jin, Dudley, Balrog, Cammy, Ryu, and Ken.

    I still haven't fought a Paul.

    Just being good is not the criteria needed for a bandwagoner.

    Case in point there were NO Gat players in original SFxT and he was great.

    But he wasnt braindead. Paul is now good but also stupid easy to play so yes people will flock to him. He was always easy to play actually but before he just sucked.

    With Sagat you need to know zoning, spacing, and you are not as easily rewarded for a simple mix-up. Sagat's game takesw months to tweak. Zoning is not easy.

    Paul you just gotta know how to do combos and simple mix-ups

    I see, your right about zoning not being easy though, which is why I don't do it too often with Alisa.

    Though I am curious as to why they made EX tiger knee unsafe on block. It's not block it was heavily abused and didn't provide the greatest thing, even if it was a frame trap.

    Pretty much every Sagat I've come across plays him like a flowchart.

    I think you answered your own question, they did the same thing to Poison's EX Rekka. and Xiaoyu's Cyanide, Frame traps are a big no no.

    Sagat IS eazy, it's just Sagat is a boring character that's been around for 2 decades. Paul although from tekken has never been in a SF game so he still feels fresh.

    Bandwagoners. What? Didn't you know? The moment a 'random" character becomes a 'top tier" character everyone flocks to it like geese.


    Geeesssuuu

    Ones that put you in near infinite block stun forcing you to burn a meter for an alpha counter.
