On the customization side of things, some outfit can't be fully recolored as well. Both the T8 version and the T3 version of Jin's fire pants gi CANNOT have its flames recolored, despite Tekken 7 allowing you to do so. And they add a shop to the game a month later ? Outrageous.

While we’re talking about customization, can we talk about how silly it is that you can’t have a different hairstyle AND a head item on? I can’t equip Lee’s hairstyle and a headband on, lets say Hwoarang for example, and its like, for what reason? And why is it that the hair colors in a weird way? For some hairstyles, just getting plain brown is like borderline impossible for no apparent reason. Like it’ll be brown for one style, and then orange on another style.

Steve is voiced by the same guy they rerecorded all the lines for Tekken 8. It’s the first game to not reuse any of the voice work in a really long time.

[@simpson6700]

i really don't understand how this entire plugging situation can be so hard. at the beginning of a match have both players send the match ID to a server to ensure they are in a match, then when one player loses connection have the other player send a signal to the server, have the server send a signal to both players and wait for a return signal. whoever's signal doesn't return gets a lose, the win streak is ended and the server will remember the amount of times that player has quit, after X amount of quits within a timeframe they will either be removed from ranked matchmaking, get a timeout, or get thrown into a queue with other quitters only, whoever's signal returns gets a win, if neither player returns a signal it's neither a lose nor a win. this can even be done on a P2P fighting game, since most online games have matchmaking servers that hands off the connection to the P2P system once the connection is established.

[@simpson6700]

same goes for costume cheaters, at the beginning of a match check if all costume settings are within limits. if they are not, check by how much, see if we're dealing with a cheater or a rounding error. if it's a suspected cheater put them on a list, see if this happens more often and how consistent the values are. if it looks like a rounding error just put those values within the limits.

You forgot a very important thing, that Training Mode won't save your "recording" and "select move to play" options, so everytime you play a match or change anything that reloads the mode, everything gets deleted. This was a problem since Tekken 7 release, it just more noticeable now because we can use Training Mode while searching for a match, so it makes half of the Training Mode useless, you just don't have time to re-record everything after each match and it's so annoying. I think more people should talk about this, no other games besides Tekken does this in Training Mode.

As a British person, what is Steve's accent? I've lived in England my whole life, and I've never met anyone who sounds like him. It's like a bad impression of an English accent.

[@OBrien1510]

One thing that worries me for the longevity of Tekken is that the playstyle favours hyper aggressive spammy knowledge check styles far more than I feel like it did in T7. Maybe it's because everyone is still pretty new and character knowledge is still pretty low or maybe it's the FT3 format which clearly rewards people for knowledge checking because by the time the other person has adjusted the set's practically over.

[@CountChokcula]

It's spammy, but the knowledge checks are pretty much the same. I got to Fujin with Bryan in about a week and a half and I never mained him before by doing basic block punishments, ducking, beating the knowledge checks. I will say that this game is incredibly spammy and more annoying than T7 in some ways. T7 was a better competitive game. T8 is just, you make one wrong move and you're dead, it requires significantly less execution to do massive damage with most characters now, it's dumb.

[@omegaweapon116]

Yea, it feels like you're better off attacking in this game. Once you get carried to the wall, or even worse a corner, it's hard to recover. You can get hit with a heat engager, then have to block a heat smash or cancel, and then you have to block the next attack that is usually from some stance where it's a 50/50 guess

[@fuckthisstupidasshandleshit]

@@omegaweapon116It's almost like that was the whole point of the game.

[@SubliminaIMessages]

Yep. I understand wanting to make the game more aggressive and think it can work but games that overdo it tend to be spammy and just exhausting to play

[@deanbrooks7297]

The main problem is the top tier characters ( which are too many in one game mind you) are able to kill you in 3 hits while you have to do 1000 hits for the same damage. Instead of all these dumb costumes they need to bring in the patch so that Tekken is competitive again because now I just can’t take it seriously at all.

The only thing I really think is done better is the hairstyles actually look like hair and not wigs. They were god awful in T7. But other than that everything else is kinda ehhh. Not sure why we can’t just equip gloves on and instead theyre connected to shirt styles either.

[@forcebrand4678]

In T8 I see people all the time able to dress up their characters as other characters from other franchises. That's crazy and ain't none of this shit there in T7.

[@melyboe]

It is by far the worst customization. Not even close to T7 and that one was way worse than T6 and TTT2 (which both had the best ones IMO)...I'm dumbfounded to hear that people genuinely think that this one is good, or even the best (wtf???)...

Other 3-D games like DoA and Virtua Fighter had great tracking on throws. It was a solid counter play option without having to commit to a slow full circular (homing). I am actually glad throws have more tracking in this game.

[@zato-1766]

Yea I don't get that. King neutral now is a lot of run up grab because that shit is homing for no reason. They already buffed grabs by making them uncountable when you parry or PC so why did they also need to be homing? I feel like it's a noob crutch but at the same time all they've done is just made learning guardbreaks that much more important and therefore the game is overall less accessible.

I honestly wish Heat wasn't a thing in general. Rage and Rage art are enough. You just can't focus on fundamentals properly anymore, so many moves and heat smashes are absurdly strong that it ruins the notorious difficulty of Tekken. I had a much harder time ranking up in SF6 than in Tekken 8.
