Been playing for like 7ish hours, I have to say this game has potential to become my favorite fighting game. The controls at first come off as clunky, but after labbing with yoshimitsu for a few hours I will say that it is so, so clean when you get all the timings down on your combos. Rounds can end in like 20 seconds in Tekken 8. It’s such a nice breath of fresh air after MK11 and Mk1’s defense centered gameplay. Not to mention the insane amount of content, tekken ball goes so hard. I love this game so far.

Back in the day, in the UK, I bought an import Japanese PS1 and new Sony Trinitron TV with SCART input in order to play the first Tekken game.

[@jamesl3955]

I felt completely let down when I bought tekken 7… as someone who LOVED tekken 3 and played every game since… to pay however much money for tekken 7 to be greeted by shitty little slide shows rather than proper cinematics completely ruined the series for me. Maybe they added more content as I played 7 at release… but it really hurt me as a fan… I used to love doing arcade mode as every single character to get the cool cinematic ending for each person. Feel like 7 was a complete let down.

[@COMMANDandConquer199]

I am a perpetual beginner. Tekken 3 was my first fighting game, and one of the first games I ever played. Since then I've gotten most of the Tekken games out of nostalgia more than anything else as I don't typically play much of any fighting game, but I get every Tekken and spend a few months with it before moving on. I enjoy them, but fighting games are generally not for me. Saying all of that, I am not an expert at all, however I have found Tekken 8 super easy to pick up compared to the others. Playing as the new character Reina, it was amazing to me how intuitive she is to play. Just a bit of button mashing, and a few looks at the move list and I was able to start stringing together combos and it made me feel like I was good at the game. I can see myself sticking with Tekken 8 much longer than the others. I may even get into online this time around. TLDR: BUY THIS FUCKIN GAME RIGHT NOW!

[@garymichalles8383]

The easiest way to get good is to watch pro players play and then imitate the moves they do. It's much more fun than sitting in practice mode for hours, at least to me. That's how I picked up Marduk in Tekken 7 and got to gold ranks in a month. 😂

[@Til_What]

I honestly think 32 fighters is an impressive selection and much more than this would just start to annoy me. Different characters would blend together in my brain and I'd have no chance of actually remembering match-ups. This is a good base and I'm sure they will add several seasons of characters on top, so we won't get bored. Tekken is certainly back.

[@thomb6829]

I honestly enjoy the "easy " control settings you can turn on and off. It makes the skill gap between friends who just want to have friendly comp, and lets you feel competent at the game without dumping hours into game play. Haven't mainlined many fighters but I enjoy goofing around in practice and the arcade/story is a challenge. I've been on the fence about buying sfvi for a while, but this was a no-sell for me. Plus I wanted to try out my new hitbox and aracde stick lol

[@GreenFlame16]

Tekken 8 actually does simplify things, but in a smart way You can use single-command their extensions instead of memorizing long commands for chain throws, or if you do/did it in previous games - you can apply the harder input to squeeze extra damage Throw breaks are now shown in move list, basic throws are still easy to break since Tekken 7 Instant run input seems to be much easier Reina - one of the more/most complex characters in the series, has simplified inputs for wavedash, but keeps the true Mishima-style inputs and adds fancy electric sparks to her feet if you use the harder input This new special style can be toggled midfight, turning the controls more akin to spectacle-fighter games/brawlers with one button(can be chained with itself and others+directions) for attacks, one for juggles one for throws and do on The move list shows a lot more details about moves and previously hidden extensions/special inputs/extra descriptions etc. Frame data is there too, along with pretty good screen for move nuances Arcade Quest is basically a tutorial with shitty/cheesy story(the good stuff is in main story mode) Game is hard AF, more could be done, don't get me wrong, but it's a lot more beginner-friendly now

[@jeramylaneholt]

I am doing the same. Soul calibur had the deepest and most skill based fighting system of all fighters. Dragon ball fighter z was my complete checkout point. Frame counting and generic play style is just lame. I remember in soul calibur 4 playing with a friend and discovering special counters with Siegfried. Nothing beats a good soul calibur game.

As someone who isn't big on online pvp fighting games. I am enjoying the story of the arcade quest mode. Unlocking ALL of the cosmetics in game i've seen is by completing challenges which is nice.

That's so weird, I was able to play Tekken online last night on PC, hope they fix the issue for other people this has the potential to pop off at EVO and everything

[@DDRjason]

It was working for just over an hour on launch then had a network problem for a couple of hours I think around 3-4 hours after the online mode was working perfectly and has been since now

'Bizarre' is a good way to put Tekken endings and characters, and that's exactly why I love it. It's simultaneously goofy and gaudy but also so insanely cool at the same time and that's 100% unique to Tekken.

[@RestlessRizz]

Is anyone old enough to remember when it was bloody roar vs tekken? Bloody roar was a fighting game where each character had an hybrid animal beast transformation you could change into during the battle. No fighting game has ever done that since. R.i.P. Blood Roar. (Damn you, hudson)

[@hurricane7727]

Mortal Kombat Had Liu Kang Change into a Dragon and Goku in Dbz Budokai 3 had Dragon Fist where he changes into a Dragon

[@twintiger3663]

Facts! My friends and I used to rumble with Tekken and Bloody Roar! That game needs a comeback

Some characters are missing in tekken 8 fir the first time I never thought Namco would remove characters from a tekken game like capcom is doing with their street fighter games instead of adding more characters their deleting more characters everyone should know Jin’s grand father is one of them I don’t like how Paul looks like in tekken 8

[@mallow2902]

Tekken games often remove characters between entries, what are you waffling about? Heihaci is gone because Kazuya killed him in the last game.

[@mikekanner2156]

@@mallow2902please then tell me who was missing in tekken 7 after tekken 6 I don’t remember anyone missing all I remember is more fighters got added it’s fine removing characters from the story but in arcade mode or online that’s stupid I agree removing characters is the most dumbest thing namco is doing

[@mallow2902]

@@mikekanner2156 just look at the character page on the Tekken wiki. Characters get added, removed, and re-added all the time in this series. Did you forget about Tekken 3 where nearly the entire old cast was swapped out for new characters?

[@mikekanner2156]

@@mallow2902 well removing famous characters is a different level but removing characters that nobody really cares about were added from other games is not a surprise you didn’t expect Akuma to return back to tekken 8 he’s a capcom character not a namco fighter there was also a final fantasy character that was removed and a SNK fighter these are fine to be removed nobody’s complaining about characters that doesn’t belong to tekken were talking about characters that belongs in tekken one of them is Jin’s grandfather Hehachi removing him makes it look stupid

[@chocobanana5262]

I'm actually surprised they launched the game with both cross-play and rollback together. Some fighting games launched either have only one or the other or add them post launch months after but not both. MK1 doesn't even have both and it's fairly new although there was news that it will add cross-play this year. I'm glad SF6 and Tekken8 launched with both of these. Hopefully this will become a sort of a standard for upcoming new fighting games.

[@ritzkola2302]

It’s hard because of the button input for combos. 1. It isn’t like smash bros where you press a button and the character immediately attacks. 2. In Tekken it’s more of a “programmed input” where you press ALL buttons in a combo and then watch the character do the combo. 3. If YOU DO NOT quickly press all the buttons in the combo, then you’ll get that single punch or single kick button reaction like in smash bros. It really is an action game under the guise of a fighter.

[@MrJSe7en]

They did make it less complex on a few fronts though. For example... You used to have to do more complex inputs on chain throws.... Now they have changed those to just one button lol. All that training for nothing. You can literally just button mash and you'll complete the chain.

[@hurricane7727]

That started getting easier in Tekken 7.

[@Filterdeez]

I mean it's kind of the same, idk if you use a fight stick or not, but on controller it felt the same to press either 1 or 1+2

What i love about Tekken is they care about Offline than online because not everyone has internet and not everyone has a strong internet

Harada always goes in with the jokes and the outrageous things each character can look like and do. It's always better when something that doesn't make sense be the highlight of any character you choose.

I was just starting to think they wouldn’t have any Tekken Force/ Scenario Campaign type gameplay and then I got to the war chapter 🤩 I’d pay for DLC if they decided to flesh that gameplay style out more

[@kevinnezukojk8870]

Tekken is my most favorite game of all time. This game looks so awesome. 🤩 Game of the Year? Who knows. 🤔 My main AND waifu is Alisa Bosconovitch.

I despise the avatars. Feels old in a very bad way. Would’ve preferred they just allow me to use the normal tekken characters.

If offline content is your goal, I would say SF6 is better in that aspect. I mean I have 200 hours only of offline, and I have to still complete a bunch of secondary missions

[@TSketch684]

Hey this is me "Random Guy" in the comments of before you buy to tell you that the game is worth the buy but even tho it may seems obvious to some, for those of you who may not have played the demo or had no access to their main in the demo, some combos you may have perfected in previous titles may not work. Had to change up my Lili a bit and you might have to too. So drop in the training unless you wanna figure it out in mid match

[@Kc_Zeno]

Whenever I search up a game review I always scroll past IGN and the other reviews only so I can watch before you buy. Great videos thank you!
