Leroy is broken. Correction, Leroy was broken but they’ve now fixed him with a recent emergency patch. Emphasis on the word emergency. Such was the backlash from the community that the developers had no choice but to patch him quickly after release. The final straw was EVO Japan 2020, where the top 8 consisted of … Read more
I’ve been playing a lot of Tekken 7 lately in the midst of the recent lockdown and I would say that I’ve gotten pretty good at it. I’m now slowly climbing the purple ranks (Divine Ruler) and hoping to reach TGP soon. It’s funny because I was only in the green ranks less than 2 … Read more
