Tekken 8 | PS5/XBOX SERIES X|S/PC | Anna Williams Arrives March 31st / April 3rd

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Tekken's marketing and relevance was fukked up from 6 on, agreed. 6 had a good arcade run but online was ass. I didn't bother with Tag 2 or 7 at all. And I was a Tekken 1 era person who never stopped playing fighting games. 8 brought me back but I think I'm about to be out unless this gets cleaned up or Lei comes back.

I've given KOF/FF and Tekken post 5 so many chances, and honestly HOPE something gives me the feeling I had when SFIV dropped. Nothing really has. Not fighterZ, not Tekken 6, not t8, kofXIII and XV were fukking garbage, IDGAF...

Maybe I'll just wait until Fighting Collection 2 for CvS2

Yeah I forgot how bad that online was. Tag 2 wasn't a big improvement, but they are slowly improving their infrastructure. Bandai in general has horrible netplay.

DOA is dead in the water too.

The direction of fighting games have changed drastically. I'm surprised characters still have a massive move list.

CvS2 will be day one for sure.

I wonder how good a simplistic, but hard to master, fighting game would do. Straightforward move list, 20 character roster, then call it a day. Tekken is so damn complex. Having to memorize all these moves, frames, and punishments for a 37 character roster is too much. The only reason I've been ranking up is because I'm aggressive with just enough veteran defense. Any new comer will have to learn for weeks before enjoing the game.


I been trying to follow Virtual fighter 6, but some people say that's even more aggressive than Tekken.

Nothing I've seen from VF6 indicates that.

Do you have experience in VF6? Not saying you're wrong, I'm just trying to figure out if people are saying it'll be a better fighter than Tekken 8. The little gameplay we saw looked immaculate, clean, no sparks, explosions, etc. Tekken 8 got too much shyt going on, on top of the damn transitions and moves.


I may download VF5 to check it out.

Has any VF6 footage dropped other than that literal 5 second clip from the debut?

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

If you ask me, we need to go back to Tekken 4 or 5. I can't vouch for 4, but I started at 5 and thought that was simple.


I read this post and somebody said once them juggles extended with Tekken 6, it was down hill. Tekken 8 you might as well put the controller down once they launch you.

That's actually why my hopes is pretty low. They ain't dropped anything.

Yeah exactly...I mean I'm not sure where anyone could say that 5 second clip and a tech demo are "more aggressive than Tekken" @Ezekiel 25:17 ...no info is really out. VF in GENERAL has been more subdued than any Tekken.

I dunno man. They definitely fukked the game and a lot of characters up but there's still fun to be had.

Had a dope set of matches with a Lili that wasn't on no bullshyt and actually made me step my sidestep game up.

There's hope but it's far off.

at this point T8 is basically a party game. I keep telling people the game can be much more enjoyable in player match rooms and quick match. As a competitive game it is garbage truck juice fighting against T4 for worst Tekken game All time

I know you say Shaheen is cheap but that nikka is super duper fair now lol

I thought him having a power low and a good plus button out of ss would push him over the edge but that was before I seen all the other foolishness nikkas got.

Jack being plus 8 soon as you block a jab...who playtested this garbage????

Had another fun set with a Nina. But both of those games were indeed Quick Matches in the lounge. Ranked had me

Was wondering why I was only playing Asuka’s and Paul’s.

What's good with Paul? I know folks said he had an unblockable glitch.

Good quick matches with players that send good mail and friend requests
