Everything You Need to Know about The Heat System in Tekken 8

[@Rooflemonger]

The Heat System is at the core of what Tekken 8 is about, so lets go in depth on everything! What the mechanics are, what they are all capable of, and some character specifics just to show how strong it can get. Give the vid a watch, leave a like if ya liked it and let me know what you think!

[@dotintegral]

Thanks for the guide. It is a bit confusing with the heat system, so this helps a lot 🎉

[@tinyparcel6305]

How dare you take your time to make a great product the nerve(Always glad to see an upload thanks for your hard work man.)

[@Iqzzy-KO]

Wow I didn't know how to activate Heat mode raw, or that certain moves replenish Heat depending on the character, so thanks for this!

[@pavelmat372]

i think range attack that's what killing game now

[@Rooflemonger]

Sorry the Choose a Main is not up yet, I was up all night and I just hit a point where I knew it just wasn't gonna be live today no matter how hard I tried, so I threw this together quick to make sure there's a video for today. I am gonna finally get some sleep, then come back at it with 100% energy whenever I wake up and make sure the Choose a Main is live tomorrow! Also there's good stuff here anyways so watch it lol, heat system kinda important.

[@Stanlos]

We appreciate you, @rooflemonger!!

[@volktol4432]

Take your time, I appreciate the hard work, I’m hearing only good things about the game and I can’t wait to get it as I loved T7, thank you

[@jarynlandrum7474]

Appreciate the update but bro take your time with that one. Choose your main series has long term value. We need your most insightful and funniest self

[@gregartman9827]

It's ok buddy your still a legend

[@rainer9931]

Don't hurt yourself! Been loving all the content

[@no_nameyouknow]

I don't think it's mentioned here but heat engagers can only be used to enter heat if the opponent is grounded. So you wont go into heat if you use them in an air combo. The r1 heat move will work against opponents in the air though. I may be missing a detail or two but that is what I gathered.

[@ShadowMark3_]

One more thing regarding Electrics in Heat. Doing that type of electric will drain the meter with each use. If you do a true electric it won't drain the meter, so its still worth trying to make the execution better.

[@Aaron-zl5gq]

This is my first tekken game and this video really helped thank you! This game is a freaking blast

[@thetendieteam]

Thank you for clarifying about needing a few frames for heat to kick in. I was getting so confused why it wasn't firing off for me sometimes lmao

[@briangoulet948]

I remember one of my friends said the easiest way to describe it is "what if we just gave geese Max mode to everyone?" Obviously that's a simplification but it kind tracks

[@Locii97]

You not wrong that's pretty much it. But I like it

[@100674700]

If you’re not already you will soon be the best channel for general fighting game knowledge/basics.

[@CheddarGetter]

The unique traits and properties in heat for each character is so awesome.

[@brendenhassler4613]

LOL, this didn't age well🤭

[@rahmellbrown162]

When I say this is deff the best fighting game I’ve played in a longgggg time. Never been this interested and invested in learning the characters. They made it very easy by having combo challenges for everybody, and I’m a martial artist so I love that they’re using real martial arts techniques and styles. So far I just used Hworang, Law, LeRoy, Abs the characters in the main story. All are fun asf! The heat system, the combos, the smoothness, just everything

[@CaptainYesz]

I haven't been keeping up and I love that you're here!

[@icyjules]

Great informative video! Had no idea Ling could regain so much heat! Might pick her up and terrorize ranked when I'm done learning Bear combos.

[@TrueReverse74]

I know everything you said but I still watch just because you're that good at explaining.

[@disonalvan]

thanks for the video as always!! i buttonmashed on tekken 3 when i was a kid and i'm getting back on tekken 8 if you plan on making individual character guides, here's a vote to move Jun up on the queue :p

[@thankyou329]

Also you're a beast! Always impressed with how fast you work especially when new games launch

[@raymondlin684]

Best explanation on heat mechanics I have seen! Thanks Rooflemonger 👍🏻

[@creativailability]

I just needed to know how to cancel the hit after heat! THANK YOU!!!! Great tutorial!!

[@ammon260]

You're an absolute beast with the new game content. Thank you

[@fordlord3710]

as a tekken lover you explained this perfectly i can see u doin incredible guides in tha futue 👍🏽

[@vicksr.4006]

Thanks to you i finally get my answers...Merci from France !

[@Licorice_itch]

This is my first Tekken game and your videos are making it so much easier to enjoy and learn tnx ❤

[@robonoaware]

They looked at SC6 soul charge and said "what if we give this a name that's more awkward to talk about"

[@shyhexx]

facts lmfao i hate saying “im in heat”

[@rdowg]

And you already know the name came up during a match with king "Ha, he's in heat!"

[@AriIsConfused]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I was very confused before. XD

[@eh4372]

I haven’t played tekken since tekken 4 and I have to say was really enjoying it and visually probably best fighting game yet. Very difficult I was getting destroyed by people who clearly played previous tekken but I still enjoyed it. I usually start getting tilted when I loose but you can see the skill level is high for this game and it’s fun at its core.

[@nickhall7995]

Lol i haven't played since T5. I decided to get back into Tekken and im getting smoked online. Forgot how hard Tekken is

[@phdbot4483]

So far, I still enjoy the heat system and discovering what unique properties characters get out of them. Kuma's Heat System is probably the one I've enjoyed the most so far, letting him do EWGF loops of his own! XD

[@Tyrineal]

Characters like King II and Lee who can refill their heat gages during battle are crazy and scary. Heat will make Lee's just frame attacks automatically work but doing the Just Frame's with the right timing will refill the heat gage by quite a bit. King also has a unique just frame activation where he will hit the Pedigree

[@rjallen0801]

Didn't see it listed but also pretty important: Heat engagers will restore any recoverable health you have while heat bursts will not. Just FYI

[@oklimbo]

I did not know some characters can gain heat meter back. That's cool af, I wonder how valuable it'll be though

[@figofatfatfart4289]

Thank you for always making new fighting games understandable to me rooflemonger 🙏

[@jojomcgeeisme]

Thanks for the vids man, I'm just getting into Tekken and am super lost so these vids have been helping a lot lol

[@Mcry29381]

Amazing guide

[@kirbdini]

Appreciate the dedication as always. Even boss gorillas need sleep. Rest up. I think you got many hours looking at a screen ahead. Least that's what the magic 8 ball said

[@philandermcfly6441]

Oh I would love to see Reina in heat

[@megugao]

ayo

[@kishin3248]

Bruh 💀

[@alistairblaire6001]

When they first went over the PowerPoint slides on the heat system it seemed really overwhelming. But it makes a lot more sense now because of this video.

[@DaPhenomAce]

Hello and Welcome! Never gets old

[@Dieter-4]

Awesome stuff as always!

[@DangerLevel10]

Online is great, and Lee is in. I'm enjoying the he'll outta it. Plus hits seem different this time around.

[@melvinshine9841]

My only real problems with Heat are Heat Bursts having armor and Heat Smashes that leave you plus, in stance, and right in someone's face if they block it. Heat Bursts being safe, armored mids goes against what Tekken 7 established, in that armored mids are always unsafe, with two exceptions that are balanced out by being negative on hit. Heat Bursts being armored and plus on block means there's virtually no consequences for just throwing them out. Heat Smashes that leave in stance, plus, and in someone's face bothers me because while there were Rage Drives that were safe or plus, they all had pushback.

[@Jester4700]

I love your intro so much that i say it whenever you do lmao.

[@MarioUcomics]

Oh cool. I didn't know Xiaoyu would regain her heat like that. Thanks

[@gwenjulianna2372]

I'm loving this game! Heat mode is easy to use, but there's a lot to learn with each character. It makes diving into move sets and figuring out how they change while in heat a lot of fun.

[@thankyou329]

Thanks Roof! I've been watching my characters turn blue and run at each other but got no clue whats next

[@thoyo]

8:36 🎶🎼it’s hard to do, it’s hard to dooo

[@70smebbin]

its hard to do

[@jasonsmith530]

That’s the song I wake up to every morning

[@wetfusion1986]

I like it. Tekken 8 lower the floor by making some execution easier, but also at the same time making the ceiling higher. This heat stuff put more depth in the gameplay. People can counter plan by not doing what the game want you to do. You duck thinking im going to grab when king in heat? Nah im using all these meter for mids.

[@telepotatoe8508]

When Kazuya is in special controls, every wind god fist is electric. God bless

[@VTKC]

great explanation in the new mechanic. King has a very big advantage in regaining heat meter then. If he lands one of his multi throws

[@plutonash2545]

I've been waiting for this

[@danclover5194]

You’re such a good teacher ! I play 300 hours of mk1 but itching for a new fighting game- get this now or wait for sale? Thanks 🙏

[@TheReal_FishFins]

"Also while in heat." -Roofle. ;0

[@ogamitaicho77]

Hi Rooflemonger 😀 As always in your videos, there is something to learn. 👍 Each subtle details described will be helpful to me to improve and get better ! ☺️

[@dadbodofgaming]

Esoteric is currently the most popular word on earth.

[@ComfortZoneComic]

Sir is a G, and I am now a sub

[@RedLineOneGC]

Im hit the like, but im not going to watch this until i actually get the game...jus wanna show support 😎👍🏾

[@Patcherson]

"It's hard to do". Has the gaull to say that after putting out 4 EWGF in a row while talking. What a god gamer.

[@ProjectMysticApostolate]

Great video.

[@cylondorado4582]

Some like it hot, but some sweat when the Heat is on.

[@marioisokidoki4693]

Thank you very much,but I got a question,for example devilster is a jin main,when he is doing a combo,the opponent is not blown away and he can make his combo longer without having the issue of dropping the combo because the opponent was too much ejected.that oftenly happens to me when I land too much hits and idk why it happens to me,can you explain me please ?

[@StardustSynchron]

Getting my ass kicked but having fun with Tekken 8 :)

[@DelaDaGawd]

Was gonna play victor until I saw everyone on twitch using him lol now I’m up for suggestions

[@Gleapgoogleplusisgone]

I had the same thought. Plus I'm not trying to listen to french for 400 hours. I'm going yoshimitsu personally.

[@OdelyxRa]

400 hours of Japanese?​@@Gleapgoogleplusisgone

[@grzib]

+17 50/50 every round is ridiculous

[@deFINExGaming1]

00:15 how do you activate without attacking?

[@Rooflemonger]

its in the beginnerr guide! after activation, hit back, back

[@deFINExGaming1]

@@Rooflemonger ahhh okay! Thank you so much!

[@TheIncredibleEmu]

I went into heat listening to Roofles voice. 🥵

[@Diablo070707]

One question: on heat engage hit how is nothing guaranteed at +17? Jabs are 10 frames, why are they not guaranteed?

[@Rooflemonger]

cause its meant to be a mixup, not a combo. +17 means they have to guess whatever you got coming.

[@redhairshank19]

Great explanation

[@taliclair530]

What do you mean by activated by “one, two”? I don’t get it?

[@cecil6075]

i play a ton of basically every other fighting game (besides nrs ones, just not a fan) and tekken is still so alien to me. it's like the dota of fighting games. but the thing is... its really fun to make reina do the electric slide, so i wanna learn. this is a big help!!

[@soulwarrior5791]

6:32 That sounded so wrong out of context omg

[@bropapi4821]

“Already have to be in heat” 😂😂

[@Syrup4prez]

Back at it again💪🏾 quick question- is the net code fine? I’m currently out of town so I haven’t been able to play t8 yet😤

[@yubeluchiha]

I hate the heat engager mechanic because when I do the move my by mistake and they block it, it still active

[@vgm_central]

Bandai Namco be like: "Let's make T8 very beginner friendly by adding the Heat System and make it as complicated as possible"

[@disonalvan]

video idea: 5 good/best neutral moves for every character

[@PabelekPL]

Great guide, thanks 👍 I still think that Drive from SF6 is cooler but Heats fits Tekken reality perfectly.

[@telepotatoe8508]

Dear rooflemonger, I wanted to know if you can look into something with the special style controls. When Kazuya has special style on… why is every wind god fist AN ELECTRIC???

[@curlydolltv]

why do u think he has the answer to that? he’s not on the development team clearly they just wanted it that way

[@shai310]

Well if you face new players online most of the time they use the heat system just for the finisher. Kinda reminds me how drive impact is abused in the lower levels in SF6.

[@arrownoir]

Heat smash and grab. Haha, that’s rich.

[@mozzie-sama]

I'm already in heat 🥜

[@17ScionFlames]

I've wanted to know just a Raw heat activation for the longest

[@jessediener]

I wonder how many times the word "Heat" was in this video

[@WrathofGuldan]

Over 9000

[@falsetitle6940]

According to the KZbin Keyword Search website he said it 90 times.

[@michealkelly9441]

Can u do the rage art while in heat?

[@Rooflemonger]

Yes

[@jumpfold]

I'm really trying to like this game but I just don't that heat mode makes it feel so much less like Tekken

[@808riko2]

how do u activate heat without throwing a punch?

[@neon-lake]

Back twice during activation

[@gigadolphin]

Not gonna lie, this mechanic is hot!

[@NEVOCITY]

The heat system? You mean soul charge from soul caliber?

[@LaterHarmony]

Another rooflemonger banger? Wow im so shocked.. This is my shocked face 😑 Surprise me for once man put out some garbage 😂 Crazy btw that ive been watching you since your first dbzf vid much love keep it up! hope you stream more

[@Rooflemonger]

gonna try to make streams more consistent thhis year, but for now need to get the main guidework done

[@ThePlasticBowl]

Not my type of game, just leaving a like and comment for Uncle roof #BUFFKITANA

[@alipaydar370]

Anyone from the middle east how's your qeue time mines way too long don't know if it's just me

[@KennyKennTV]

Damn that's crazy some of these peoples heat moves. When my dogs in heat she just tried to have sex with our neighbours dog

[@Renoistic]

How's online? I've heard mixed things. 7 was incredibly frustrating so I'll avoid 8 unless it's great.

[@starlitbebe3136]

I thought people hate V Trigger in SFV, why did they put something like V Trigger in Tekken 8?

[@sheeeeeeesh6021]

So style system is basically modern? Anyone understand this? Like you basically have each button do a thing and that’s it? Outside of that there’s no variety?

[@Rooflemonger]

yeah its basically just easy mode

[@danzixx6]

A lot to process but im getting step by stop to the game

[@BilliamTorpedo]

Nina in heat/10

[@mikeferrell1262]

Shhhhhh the taunt is how I bait them 😂😂😂

[@adams3627]

I'm sorry, I'm still gonna giggle like a schoolgirl every time I hear someone say "they're in heat"

[@JohanMGO]

Is amazing how SFV caught so much hate for V-Triggers but yet Tekken 8 is all about it..

[@kaos7116]

In Sf V you gain v trigger when you take damage and serves as a comeback factor while here both players have it at the beginning of the round. It’s very differentl

[@arrownoir]

It’s hot.

please i beg them REMOVE ARMORED HEAT ENGAGERS GYATT DAMN
