A Tekken 8 streamer has caused quite a stir in the community by rapidly climbing the ranks of ranked mode using a script that mashes only one button. Known as jimmashima, the streamer has been using the character Eddy Gordo and a script that continuously spams the “3” button, which corresponds to the Left Kick move. The repetitive nature of this strategy has garnered attention both on Twitch and across social media platforms.
Videos of jimmashima’s matches have been shared, showcasing the constant barrage of kicks being unleashed by the script. The streamer even displays a UI overlay that highlights the button inputs and the repeated pressing of the “X” button, symbolizing the continuous attacks. This method has gained popularity among viewers, with many tuning in to witness jimmashima’s progress in ranked matches.
However, not everyone is pleased with this approach. Some players have expressed annoyance and frustration, leading them to cancel matches to avoid facing off against the “3ddy bot.” A Reddit user took to the Tekken subreddit to vent their frustration, highlighting the lack of learning opportunities when facing an opponent who relies solely on a single button input.
It’s worth noting that jimmashima is not the only streamer employing this strategy. Another Twitch streamer, 3ddySmurfy, is also using a similar script to spam the Left Kick button. This has sparked discussions about the prevalence of repetitive tactics in fighting games and the impact they have on the overall experience.
Despite the division among players, the Tekken community acknowledges that this is an exciting time for the franchise. Alongside the rise of the “3ddy bots,” Bandai Namco recently unveiled its roadmap for post-launch content, generating further anticipation among fans. With Evo Japan also taking place, the world of Tekken is buzzing with activity.
As the discussion around the “3ddy bot” continues, players are reminded of the diverse strategies and playstyles that exist within the fighting game genre. Whether it’s mastering complex combos or relying on repetitive button inputs, each approach brings its own challenges and considerations.
