Tekken Community Reacts: Clive Nerfs Create a Stir Over Slow Balance Changes
Clive is often seen as one of the simpler characters to learn, leading some to find it concerning that he frequently wins in competitive play. His move set is said to provide a low risk and high reward structure, with moves like f1+2 being particularly effective because they have limited opportunities for opponents to respond effectively. A user named DevilGinAndTonic aptly remarked, “Clive isn’t powerful just because he’s strong; his problematic moves are adjusted because there is almost no way to counterplay them.” This statement highlights why many players consider Clive’s moves to be mindless—they simplify the complexities of advanced play, leading more to frustration than skillful victory.
