It’s another week, and after some time away, we’re back to learn another new character in Tekken 8 on our Tekken it to the Lab livestream series. This time around, we’re going with Leroy Smith! Widely considered to be under tuned in Tekken 8 up to this point, a recent patch gave Leroy a collection of buffs that should help him out. Is it enough? Well that’s what we aim to find out.
Leroy hails from New York City and is a Wing Chun master among the Tekken roster. Between quick fist strikes, strong kicks, and the use of a staff in some of his moves, Leroy could do a lot, but many considered him to be underpowered in Tekken 8. That changed in the most recent major patch when he got a page full of buffs. Now we’ll see if it’s enough to make him feel like a true master or if this character could still use some tuning.
Find out as we play Leroy in Tekken 8 on our Tekken it to the Lab livestream, going live at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET on the Shacknews Twitch channel. You can also watch just below.
