Tekken 8 - Ranking The Most BROKEN Characters

[@GLaevateinn]

King is OP as soon as there's delay and rollback frames and a natural 100+ms delay, then he's just op when your break inputs gets snuffed by rollback frames

[@younes9745]

Wait till he finds out my Azu’s libertador stance got 3 buffs

[@Zhang.WayRee]

Hwoarang is stupidly op, just too many plus frames on long kicking strings, there's no way out

[@michaeldietz2648]

Lol he is not OP you’re just not good at fighting him, he’s actually one of the worst characters in the game. He’s extremely slow, his air juggle that could do 50% damage is 10 times harder to do than everybody else’s, his heat is almost useles, the only thing he is good at is mixups hi mid low (that you could interrupt very easily once you figure them out) i’ve been using him since Tekken 3 and he’s so bad in Tekken 8 I stop using him, once I got to blue rank with him.

[@Floridamangaming729]

@@michaeldietz2648yea a freind of mine told me that simply crouch jabbing him completely gets rid of his pressure lol. Its true however i fucking suck so i lose anyways lol. I am new though so thats probably why.

@@michaeldietz2648 at pro level ya he's not op or top 5, and around the garyu level I can get easy wins, but a solid intermediate hwoarang is the most annoying in the game. Ya you can lab all the strings and fins the crouch jabs, but so many annoying mix ups

[@beqatabunidze2444]

She's not "Broken" like Jun, but more of a well-rounded character with visible flaws, she might be in a little op section, but that's only for the people who fail to punish her well. She's def S tier worthy (the weakest of the S tier members)

[@dominiclacroix9489]

ex Zafina main here. Shes been nerfed from Tekken 7 to Tekken 8. Shes pretty complex with acces to tons of low which make match up tricky if you dont know her but ehr damage is so low right now i was stunned when i tried another character. It takes 4-5 attacks to do the damage of a single Jin punch. She need a bit of a buff, not by alot

[@YungBl3ss94]

Fighting a character like panda or Kuma , even when the duck you should be able to do a throw due to their size .

for real. but then no one would play them

[@Chickadee777]

As a bear player, fuck that! It's the only thing that helps me get through the King match alive.

[@RuTo94]

As a Leo main I think he's pretty broken when it comes to wall carry and wall damage beacause he gets a unscaled stomp for example all together I get like 99 damage thats 60% HP LOL if your able to KNK cancel you can do way more. His neutral game is not the best but when you get launched it's gonna hurt.

[@toriquethefreak68]

King main here. I'm learning Leo right now and I see it.

…that king connected with his 2. That law being low wasnt due to crouching

[@zafo103]

As a Zafina main for 15 years. I think she needs buff. I don't get it why they would bring her back to the game only to destory her completly in T8. I personally love her gameplay mechanics in T7 rather than in T8. Well, will see if they would buff her later. She has really lots of potential but again they destroyed her. 🥺😭😭

[@bassdeaf2935]

zafina rajin in this game and tekken god rank zafina in t7 here she plays diffrent but her damage is insane in this game the only things she lacks is power crushes wich she has in heat mode if your getting low damage your not using her properly

My main used to be hwoarang. Then I started using lee. Never switched back.

[@MadMikeYT]

i respect it

[@nikosskurogiannis2594]

I disagree with Victor. His only superbroken tool was his grabs which will be fixed today. His sword moves are sidestepable and some other important moves have bad frames on block (df2 has -14f on block). I would put in a little op tier just for having the u1+2 that can dodge some attacks other characters cannot and the glock for zoning (its duckable tho). That's it.

[@kahtanalobaidi1550]

His strongest tool is the counter hit lows and he’s super easy to play

[@nikosskurogiannis2594]

@kahtanalobaidi1550 I 1000% agree that he's easy. He's the new Noctis. Im new to the series and I got to Tenryu with him. But still I'm getting destroyed by players who know how to punish me. You have to be patient with Victor when you are in red+ ranks because he can be punished hard. It's not all about spamming sword or 222.

[@spacepimpkevin1184]

Yeah Victor's most annoying move can be sidestepped but it just does way too much damage and way too safe for how high priority it is. If he's got it active, then attacking him is always a huge risk and that's totally broken. His gun and swords against a cast of hand to hand fighters is BS.

[@YoungSweezy]

As a Shaheen main i can say that Shaheen has some gimmicky moves, but they are nowhere as bullshit as the meta characters. I often find myself to work harder and work around opponents offense to get victory.

[@umeboshi2247]

As an alisa main in tekken 6, even i cant deal fighting against her in 8. She's gonna fly at you then suddenly abort then into destructive mode and boom, get combo'ed

[@MadMikeYT]

You should main whoever you want. Keep in mind, no matter who it is, some people are gonna hate on u for using that character. I mean Hwoarang and always have people telling me to pick a REAL character. So it is what it is. I do suggest trying the new characters tho, they're pretty cool.

[@Floridamangaming729]

Victor is really easy. Im completely new to Tekken and new to fighting games in general and victor just plays the game for you. You can just spam 2 and get free damage and pressure in low ranks. And in higher ranks he still has really good moves like his power crush and such. Thats why i switched to lars to work on my fundamentals and make the game a little less cheesy. Lars is still pretty cheesy though but nowhere near as brain dead as victor.

[@MadMikeYT]

i respect it

[@pdgikillu5048]

Victor IS cool 👍😁

[@cahweh]

Characters like Victor will kill this game

[@DavidLucian]

My mains in Tekken are Raven(I mainly use Raven because he resemble Naruto characters in his unorthodox fighting style approach and because he's very unique and authentic, he's my trump card back from T5) and I admit it that If you don't adapt to his matchup he can definitely be annoying to fight against him. Hwoarang and Jin( these two are like the symbol of Yin&Yang☯️ in my eyes, they were my mains when I was starting to play Tekken 3 for the first time many many years ago, I also like it to use Eddy Gordo as well because of his Capoeira style of fighting). My List of annoying characters that I don't like to encounter/face are: Jun, Victor, Azucena, Dragunov, Xiaoyu, King, Devil Jin, Reina(sometimes), Yoshimitsu, Feng, Jack8, Nina, Alisa and Lili. So almost the entire roster I know... 🤷🏻‍♂️😅🙆🏻‍♂️✌️

[@LesserCheshire]

I mained Nina all throughout T7. She is 100% overpowered in this game. She has easy and consistent 50-60% damage combos WITHOUT walls or stage hazards. Made her safer on moves, 11f heat engager, forward 4 giving Nina her first instant, plus on block mid, still has all over her CH moves, deletes recoverable health with throws, can't chicken her reversal, great heat smash, top 5 wall carry in the game... brother... I feel like im playing a final boss character. This dude is like "I think Nina is fine." Even as a Nina main, I believe she needs to be nerfed.

[@ghe52728]

Im a Leroy main, any tips?

I wish I did have some. I wanna pick up Leroy eventually cause he's SO cool. I'd recommend checking out King Jai. He's a really good Leroy player.

As a Paul main, I wouldn’t say he’s OP. Yeah he’s strong but has zero neutral game. He’s all about patience and waiting for a whiff. Maybe I’m just biased but in the higher ranks it’s hard to climb with him you can’t just mash

After playing Reina to tenryu, I can whole heartily say that 95% of people don't understand the match up at all.

[@Raziel_Goetia]

Honestly ngl as kazuya player I think he's a little underwhelming, mostly due to his being. Honestly one of the worst in the game. You have some good options but rest? Why even use them. And being minus 14 on. His heat smash is kind of also a big question mark because it deals less damage than heaven's gate hellsweep (even though it's launchable on hit) but it's kind of, might as well use it over heatsmash. It is a bit of whining maybe, but honestly I'd say kazuya needs some buffs to compete with other Mishimas because if you in it just for the win and not the characters devil jin or even reina (who I think is bit more perfectly balanced than kazuya) are better for less investment

[@zabikgnida9484]
