I'm a bit of a older gamer. Born in the year 1982!

I play a variety of games in my downtime from work, family life etc but mostly play Tekken and have been a fan of series since Tekken 3. I mained Zafina in Tekken 7 and continue to in Tekken 8. Even with a lot of nerfs she has in this game I still find her fun and enjoyable to play because I enjoy her as a character first and foremost.

Update as of 04/07/2025

However my above thoughts was still true for Tekken 8 in Season 1 but In the recent Season 2 patch that has plagued this game, Zafina has turned into almost a completely new character that I hardly recognize and she has lost almost all of unique character identity that I come to love to and appreciate about her to just to try to homogenize with the other characters. Now she is of a passive aggressive type of character with limited tools and high health draining Azazel moves again that have taken up too much priority in her moveset. Devs have also reduced her to rely on using some busted homing ranged mid attack B1+2 that is nothing like the great low poke she used to have from neutral that wasn't as annoying as many complained it was..

To be continued but this may be a temp expression of displeasure on my part for now. If you match up with me and Zafina just know I never asked for any of this new stuff she has now nor am I that passionate about being forced to adapt to how devs have screwed her over in Season 2
