THEY'RE FIXING EVERYTHING!!! - Tekken 8 Update v1.08

[@viset]

Being able to go to replays right from the end of match screen is so huge. I don’t have to make a mental note to go back and watch a replay after a ranked sesh, I can just check it out right then and there.

[@jkdman2007]

It also can help to catch cheaters that use scripts to help their gameplay.

[@Goodwarrior12345]

I can't even begin to tell you how annoying it was to lose to something you've never seen before and go "welp, time to make like 17 button presses and wait for almost a full minute before I can check out what I should've done." Actually so happy about this

[@burni988]

I wish you could quickly jump back to the ranked queue afterwards tho. It doesn't seem like they've allowed for that but we'll see.

[@deanradley65]

This was a massive wish of mine. I don’t watch my replays enough even though every time I do I learn a lot so now I have no excuse.

[@anso3886]

17:55 TBH the only thing that prevents me from saying that T8 has the best training mode is that they don’t let you slow down the game speed. Being able to do that in street fighter 6 really helped me with developing the initial feeling/ muscle memory of the combo trial which then allows me to be more consistent in normal speed. I’m will be happy if they only add a 50% game speed option but if they want to go the extra mile they can add additional game speed such as 25% and 75% (or a slider) and or an option to slow down the game when you get a launch punish

[@SketchCarellz]

I just want to point out that this video was released 10 hours ago, and it already has 50,000 views. As a fellow long time Tekken player, I am very proud of PhiDX and what he has done on this channel for the Tekken community.

[@ash17602]

Online practice is honestly one of the biggest bonuses that’s coming out this next patch. I’ve been learning SF6 to play Terry and being able to sit in the lab with a friend and study situations and have hands on training and drilling has made learning the game significantly easier and I’m so glad to see it in Tekken. It would be nice to have a way to access them in custom rooms like in SF6 so that you can sit in a room with a coach, move to the training room if they wanted to focus on something, and then go back to the main fight rooms, but this is a fantastic addition.

Tekken 3 I was a little kid playing with my dad. But 8 the first one grinding in ranked

[@AndyNocturne]

I agree with you Phi on the idea for a top rank to be added. I know that not a lot of people take the game Brawlhalla seriously in the FGC, but a few years ago, they added a system that I think is really great for the community. For years in Brawlhalla, the top rank was Diamond. They added a rank called "Valhallan" which, in order to obtain, players have to have at least 100 wins in the current ranked season, grind to diamond if they're not already placed there, and then they attain a rating based on their matches that puts them higher or lower on the ranked ladder. Only 150 players per region can be a Valhallan, so if you get the rank and then stop playing, other players climbing can overtake you and demote you to diamond, so it basically helps motivate you to keep grinding for rating so that you stay in the top 150 in your region. That'd be great for Tekken imo. And for a game as big as Tekken, I think top 250, maybe even top 500 would be an awesome feat to really show someone's skill, but obviously, they could tweak those numbers, maybe even per region, because I know that some regions have a lot more players than others.

[@Fariorn]

I hope "THEY'RE FIXING EVERYTHING!!!"... Because right now it seems like they're missing the time to keep the player base together. They have to address the concerns asap! Not tomorrow, not next year. ASAP. Balance is KEY in a fighting game! The perfect balance is difficult to accomplish, but doing nothing is the wrong way - same goes for the plugging bs

[@josephehigiator9258]

The practice mode changes and the ability to go to your replay after a match is huge. I love the changes. I like how you approach the game from both a software developer's perspective and a seasoned gamer's perspective.

[@Hypercube1729]

Not gonna lie, I’m pretty happy with the changes. My favorite is that you can go directly to the Replays after a fight. And Namco promised the ranked matchmaking will be better. They even acknowledging the fact that the ranking system needed some tweaking makes me have more faith in them. And putting your own character on the main menu is sick. Plus all the great changes in the practice mode. Now if they only could nerf Dragunov I’ll be forever greatful. Good job, Namco! 👍

Bro perfect synopsis. As an old head who only cares about the gameplay adjustments (and who has migrated back to SF6), it was fantastic to learn about the QoL buffs to practice mode without having to suffer through the actual dev chat. I like the idea that the devs are collabing BTS and potentially sharing great tech with each other. For example, T8's replay take-over mode is groundbreaking and one of the biggest buffs to learning of all time. But the granularity and convenience of SF practice mode like action after damage taken/block/wakeup; hold direction+reset for positional change, are amazing themselves and add immense value as a whole.

[@kronksstronkstonks6360]

Their attention to detail with the menu customisation is actually crazy. They change the colour and properties of the lighting to suit the character. Lili's lighting is soft and warm, having her front and centre without shadows and in perfect light and beijg gentle enough to avoid harsh edge lighting or eye glint. As a stark contrast, Devil Jin's lighting is a cold, sharp, white light that is more narrowly focused abd from a low angle, picking out his harsh edges and leaving him shrouded in shadow with sharp whites abd muted colours, minus his eye-catching red eyes which is the focal point instead of his whole face like Lili. Instead of using the lighting to merely show the characters, it seems like theyre encorporating lighting techniques most commonly used in cinema to showcase who they are visually. My only hope is that they dont just have all the women plastered in warm inviting light. Their features are homogenised enough as it is IMHO, with their universally smooth porcelain skin highly contrasting the more rugged and stylised appearance of most of the guys. Also, having seen this, my money is on that they will never allow custom fits on the menu screen. Lighting is a very nuanced subject and if its a little off it can ruin the intended feel. They'd need to add in full customisation including altering the lighting or choose between all the characters' lighting presets and even then it would prob look bad unless you know what youre doing.

"Fixing everything" is kinda a commercial statement, as I personally don't see those additions as fixes, it is just new features mostly, except ranking changes. Tekken 8 mechanically is still a casino and cutscene show, the fact that they introduced quality of life changes, the product itself remains untouched. It is magnificent to watch that for cooling down community frustration, devs give people menus, glasses and huge fist and it works great: content creators consider this like a "fixing everything". Online practice is a decent thing for coaching, but instead of just creating a session for practice, you need to go to dojo, which, I suppose, in development spent much more effort to draw a cartoon PC. Feels like an optimised way of spending invested tekken coins from players

[@Gastonlagaf944]

@@koltyrion4188 well, "casino" in tekken does not mean that your winning capability is randomised, it is about gameplay itself. For example, if you look at new characters, everybody is designed for stance rushdown, even seems that Heihachi is made that way. Their stance puts you into guessing situation and mistake leads you to huge damage. Their stances got "casino" starter pack, as follow-ups covers everything: homing, power crushes, lows, mids, unbreakable throws (why is it unbreakable btw, Steve Fox asks). All their stances are respectable: their options force you to duck. That is example of "casino" gamplay-wise

@@Gastonlagaf944all fighting games have RPS mechanics!!!!! 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@koltyrion4188]

@@Gastonlagaf944 I Play stance heavy char and I assure you that most stances are respectable only if you respect them. There are options to mitigate pressure like armors/steps, punishing accordingly (No masher does it with only safe moves). Besides there are little to non chars with literal 50/50 like Kaz. In case of this tyle of characters you have to guess because any wrong read leads to big DMG. In most scenarios tho there are better and worse options for protection if you can't read someone. For example Lars - his lows are mid at best and they are a tool to make you duck to push with a powerfull mid so either way it's better to stand and block on read. Lidia? Just don't let her roll. This game Has bigger problems like Nina/Drag Jailing moves and constant plus frames or Xiayou still literally ducking under mids. Most characters can be interrupted with your fastest mid, jab or dickjab. Stop spreading missinformation about this being casino because it's just not true and comes from frustration. Previous titles had literal or similar "50/50" and nobody seems to remember it.

[@Gastonlagaf944]

@@lamontsnipes5229 Absolutely, but previously in order to apply RPS you got to put effort in it: like obtain comfortable distance, force opponent to respect your options (which was continuous work during the whole set).

[@jakecompton8733]

absolutely. each dlc character has an element of 'pay to play' because in higher level play, everyone labs their anticpated opponent. everyone will be playing heihachi, just like lidia release week. serious competitive play demands that everyonehas access to what they need to compete on a level playing field.

[@CoopZillaTron]

Appreciate the breakdown thank you! Way easier to digest than 2hrs plus whilst working etc. and now this scrub is super hype for the update.

[@PrestonGraff]

I'm so slow that I kept looking at this comment wondering what Hwaorang had in common with King (the character) and then I finally realized what you actually meant. I guess I'm an autistic king too.

[@CYB3R2K]

You even type the name correctly....

[@ruralizer]

Thanks PhiDX for covering this update! I pray for the day fighting game developers finally make all ranked matches fixed best of 3. The current BO1 could be left for quick/casual play, completely removing the 'one and done' problem.

[@eneshero503]

Still missing infinte rematch in quick Match is a big L.

[@ytrilogy1091]

Stopped playing tekken 8 cause I'm invested in SF6 atm but seeing all this changes for tekken 8 is making me want to go back to learn hahaha. Hopefully tekken 8 gets a frame meter to see frames with a visual aid. That really helped a new fighting game player like myself for sf6. Having replay immediatlely after a match is sick. Hope sf6 gets this too

[@lilgambini3189]

im so glad they made the rank system more better. i was about to demote from garyu and low n behold i got a player that was mighty ruler. i beat him 2-1 but it was so saddening cuz i was basically back to square one.

[@Thinker117-j2r]

This is comming from love but the faults of the rank system does not apply to you. Trust me you'll figure it out once you're abit better.

[@jordanwalker3617]

@@Thinker117-j2r would you say it applies to me? i'm stuck in raijin right now, it's rough, especially with all the tekken emperor and higher ranked people coming down to play new characters

[@Thinker117-j2r]

​@jordanwalker3617 yeah man, raijin is rough because you lose ALOT on a loss, and you're sort of dipping your toes vsing both actual tekken players and brainless(newbies and thats okay) mashers. It's not a good spread for you to learn the game. Because you'd be fluctuating between fujin and raijin. There's a HUGE gap between fujin and bushin. And you being in front of that particular doorstep makes it not as fun IMO. These new changes have a high possibility of fixing that.

[@jordanwalker3617]

@@Thinker117-j2r yeah, i do have a huge problem of struggling to remember frame data so i'm having to simplify punishes in my head down to"launch, heat or jab" and even then it's still difficult because as you said there's mashers and i'm still not too well versed in tekken (basically first tekken game i've played online) and then an actual good player comes in and the only reaction you can think is "they beat the hell out of me" but those games end up costing you 1000 points and you next win you only get 150 back

[@ir6734]

@@jordanwalker3617 The ranked system changes once you hit fujin. If you are below blue ranks, the problems dont apply to you

[@OMNI_tk]

Hi Phi, just wanna point out and show appreciation to how much work you put into your videos. Getting all these timestamps and all the preparation you do before actually hitting record. Amazing work! Thank you❤

[@Dyleniz]

A lot of these are good. Correct me if I'm wrong but the practice mode options dont save when you close the game right? I hate having to set up drills over and over again they should set up an option to save drills like that would be huge.

Great to see that the devs are listening to the community and fixing/giving the player base what they want. Great vid @PhiDX

[@jnastywot2298]

While i do agree that special style and modern are kinda nescessary to grow interest in the games and ultimately neither will save you when you encounter actually strong players. Its fine that they exist, but saying "just be better" is kinda bullshit. You have to be overwhelmingly better from low to mid level because them having a 0% chance of dropping their combo is a non negligable advantage they have over you that will matter if you're only marginally better. That said even though its bullshit.. its bullshit that you just need to deal with and tighten your game up just like any other of the 50 bullshit situations you'll encounter in fighting games. but lets not pretend that its not impacting the experience of lower level players who are actually trying to learn proper that are getting smoked by folk where the game is just handling the inputs for them.

[@vanossblackheart6029]

Wanted to say the exact same thing, playing against special style as a beginner feels so awful. It just feels like you are playing against a cheater that is endorsed by the game. And even at intermediate it's just an awful experiance.

[@jervaniwilliams9071]

​@@vanossblackheart6029 but with special style you can tell what your opponent is about to do. I think it's fair

[@8bit_pineapple]

I'm in the top 0.25% , so I can't really relate. But arn't special style combos just a few hits and around 45 damage? So if you get a weekend you could learn whatever easy mode 60 to 70 damage combos your character has. Maybe the issue is you are new, find combos hard and are going for max damage stuff instead of an easier combo you'd be consistent with.

[@zakjones7101]

@@8bit_pineapple special style also makes you lose loads of your characters options which is a bigger deal in tekken due to the amount of moves Modern in SF6 feels way more unfair

[@jnastywot2298]

@@8bit_pineapple your advice leans into the exact thing that im saying is cheap about it. 45 damage is still damage.. You even said yourself find an easier more consistent combo at expense of damage. But you can still drop an easy combo it happens all the time. The best players in the world drop and have input errors. Learning how to capitalize on interactions you win consistently is a big part of the game. So having it handled automatically naturally is a huge advantage when you're in the range of people who are figuring that stuff out. Thus all the other players at that level experience are adversely affected. Of course as you climb higher the issue begins to dissipate because everybody is capitalizing on their interactions more often so it becomes more of the same and it starts boiling down to gameplans. And im not really having this problem myself rn. Im more of a mid tier player now and im not really losing to ppl because of special style. More so match up knowledge. (And you can run special style and still be a good player making big brain moves) (The move loss is a more legit handicap in street fighter 6. Because tekken allows you to turn it on and off mid match..so did you actually lose any moves?)

[@troyoo]

Splitting Heihachi from the other changes is a good move IMO, because while I'm interested in the changes and your take on them, I don't need to ba super focused on the visual, so I can do something on the side, while a new character is something that requires more of my attention, especially as a Tekken newcomer

[@Idk-uq6tn]

What did they fix exactly?

[@thealgerian3285]

Move list filter's gonna be a game changer for me.

[@aaronburnett2261]

I know they want money and all, but i think if they set Tekken coins as Ranked prizes, i think a hella more ppl would play and get excited! Like get 1 characters to X rank would give 10 coins. And higher ranks could give a little more. Then ppl would also play more characters, maybe even buy dlc ones because that's a new character to rank up! As it stands, it is just not that interesting to grind ranks. Image you played very well with lots of characters and it got you a big discount on an outfit you were interested in. Especially if it was a character you normally didn't play, but were just grinding ranks for coins. But now you really like this other characters! Now you have MOREcharacterss you want to customize and the prices feel better because your skill is effectively lowering the price! Personally, i think this would gain Namco more money than they'd give out.

[@Miguelzki]

Great take! And maybe unlock exclusive items when you get to a new rank to your characters or avatar.

[@RoanLauncher]

I am so happy they added the option to immediately go into the replay system after a match. I hope it also takes you back to the training area but we will see :P The replay system could also use some work as the controls are a bit wonky, a way to go back/forth in small increments or even a seekbar would be great. Nonetheless very happy with all the additions!!

[@aitoirkurusu]

This is one of the best updates ever, in all online games. I hope Tekken 8 continues in this path of not only adding but enhancing the small but significant problems of the Game!
