Tekken 8 | PS5/XBOX SERIES X|S/STEAM | Heihachi Returns (Early Access Sept 30th, Official Release Oct 3)

I'm not liking the idea that running tackles no longer existing. Why even make the motion for running easier if that's gone. Low parries to no combos...I'm not sure what to think about that. Wall bounces gone too eh...

So players who are good at spacing can’t escape mashers

The buff to running is essentially a nerf to movement, if that makes sense

Uninterrupted gameplay of everybody

Still looks like Tekken I guess

I need to see 2 high level guys playing, no idea who is on the sticks in vid

 

[Methodical]

not sure how I feel about this. just keep shyt the same, I don't understand why these companies think change is important, if it ain't broke, why try to fix it!

 

[Methodical]

Makes me think that the fabled Tekken X Street Fighter is finally happening this gen.

Akuma in T7 was the test run. Now we got some 2dish fighter mechanics in T8.

No No No No. Do not want that.

King has unbreakable grabs from his armored run in heat.

King has unbreakable grabs from his armored run in heat.

Jack has one too. They're turning grapplers into... well... GRAPPLERS.

There goal has always been to minimize the gap between skilled players and sorry nikkas.. Been predicted this.. They want this shyt to be Mervel vs Capcom so badly

That's not the only reason

Namco is tryna to up the presentation of the game because high level Tekken is not very compelling if you're not into Tekken. All that korean backdashing and neutral can be dry I'm not a Tekken head but as an outsider Tekken 8 DOES look more exciting. The cinematography is

I do feel bad for diehard Tekken players tho. Akuma terrorized Tekken 7 for all those years and now his spirit lives on in Tekken 8 mechanics

Them nikkas made Oops All Akumas

 

[Illuminatos]

The female characters look ass compared to the males. Something looks off. It’s like they all have the same face.

 

[Don Mack]

The new system will make the game a lot more interesting to watch

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Funny I was just about to ask for a ling and steve trailer

Glad the graphics look like a huge upgrade. There was some trailer released a while back and people said it will be a downgrade.

I can't imagine this shyt on a 65 OLED, let alone a 77.

I'm definitely switch Paul's hair on day one

And his Deathfist needs a buff

Thing is,

The new systems they add just make it easier for skilled players to whoop on sorry nikkas.

The only thing I didn't like about Tekken 7 the ranked system. It definitely got nerfed because you had dudes in yellow rank who had no business being there.

Low parries to no combos is dumb. Parry requires thinking and therefore should punish spammers.

The buff is it’s a heat engager, so you get a free mix up after it lands

When you’re in heat it does even more damage
