Knee weighs in on the Leroy controversy

Having played Tekken competitively for over 10 years, Leroy Smith was the moment where Knee revels in disbelief over the game's balance. With Leroy Smith out for two months with an overtuned move set, EVO Japan would go on to be too much of a display on how capable the DLC character really is. In Knee's latest discussion video, Knee collects his thoughts on the impact of Leroy Smith and compares them to other characters with similar episodes like Akuma or Geese Howard. Knee concludes his discussion with a certain sentiment that maybe some parts of the community might associate with: 'Tekken doesn't feel like Tekken any more.'
