The Problem With Tekken 8 Isn't Stance 50/50s, It's How They're Designed

After the recent season 2 tekken talk there has been an uptick in talk and worry about stance 50/50s. In these talks though, there has been very discussion on why stances in Tekken are bad. In this video, I want to discuss why stances and mixups in Tekken 8 are unhealthy, and show examples from other games of how this is done well so we can talk more about how this problem should be fixed.
