[@Hiddenschmeatvillage]

@shenelljohnson74 No one said that "flashiness" was killing tekken. Tekken was inspired by action films and actors like Bruce Lee, Jackie chan, and Chuck Norris. Its identity was martial arts realism. It's not that anymore. That's what we're saying.

@shenelljohnson74 Jackie chan has actually done what lei did in one of his movies. Talking about "nuff said" but really ain't said shit. I said it was INSPIRED by real martial artists. Raven was actually inspired by Wesly Snipes. Some characters are exception, like the Mishimas and yoshi, but even they do real martial arts moves. If you did martial arts, you'd probably know. And I'm guessing that's why you deleted your comment.

[@damiankubiak818]

you are right tekken 7 changed a lot but tekken 8 nma as if it was leftovers from the tekken series but there was something. now the last DLC showed that these remnants of the series are bothering them I don't think they even wanted to create a Tekken, they just had to use its IP and well-known, popular characters to increase its chance of success. if this DLC shows what path the creators of Tekken took, it will be only in name. I don't think I want to see what the second season will do with this game, of course I'll check it out, but I guess this is the end. 😢

[@suttle_t9264]

Very accurate insightful discussion, love your channel and honest opinion about the future of Tekken!!!

[@GamerNemy]

Thank you soo much😊

[@azuresaiyan9005]

It's the visual clutter and emphasis on flash over substance. Tekken team and Namco seem to design and choose things based on how flashy they look in trailers/cutscenes these days over how they enrich the game. Clive adds nothing to Tekken. He's just more visual noise. One of the things that made Tekken really stand out was its adherence to martial arts and the authenticity behind it. Tekken 3 was revolutionary for that as it was unheard of for 3d characters to move the way they did back then. However, for the most part, Tekken has stagnated in that regard and in place just adds flair as a substitute for meaningful evolution visually and gameplay wise.

[@godmode3611]

And it was precisely guest characters and how their diversity could fit into Tekken 7 engine (and non generic aerials in many of the guest characters) is what made me love the game. I like the ranged and melee mixup in fighting games.

[@JunKazamaFan]

I know he's very much a "fish out of water" character, but I liked Negan and the "brawler who isn't afraid to fight dirty" aura he brought to the table.

[@CephlonMayngrum]

All these guest characters are cool and well made but they mess up the whole flow of tekken. The new system mechanics are ridiculous if you been a fan of the series for 20 yrs.

[@izziano7985]

sure, Demons, Devils, Space Ninjas but now its losing its identity 😂😂😂. Also the developer decide what the games identity is not the fans and Guest Character are never meant to fit the Identity of a Game, thats why they are "GUEST" Character

[@dominiclacroix9489]

i can understand old fans not liking it or being scared. For me as a new comer, i love this game and would like more of clive, lars and other flashy characters.

[@JunKazamaFan]

Funny thing is, the live-action Tekken movie incorporated weapon usage somewhat frequently, and back then, it was regarded as unfaithful to the franchise. Come Tekken 8, though...

[@simonalexander1556]

Raven will be 'Great Raven' in the next Tekken (whenever that is) but he will probably be a mixture of Raven and Victor. This is the direction the game is going in. Tekken 9 will be like Guilty Gear.

[@GamerNemy]

Yep I see this happening too

[@Hukunah]

The identity of tekken was that it never had identity in the first place which is what made it attractive. The purposeful lack of identity is exactly what gives it identity. MK has a standard style, aesthetic, and construction.

[@cade_friendly5832]

There are so many different layers in why Tekken 8 is what it is today, ultimatly Tekken 8 is trying to do the same thing as 7 when it comes to DLC. Also Tekken 8 has Final Fantasy inspiration as they said on the Tekken Talk. They wanted to bring Clive in Tekken before FF16 and Tekken even existed.

[@Gooniesdown]

That's why online Tekken 3 players is growing that well

[@alexsanimeart5706]

The Clive pick kinda opened my eyes. I saw Tekken 7 gameplay from Lil Majin which inspired me to play it. I went in thinking Tekken 8 was going to basically be like Tekken 7 with defense still being a viable option. I'm more of a defensive minded player so I generally don't like fast-paced fighters. I think I got the new Tekken for what it was, not what it is now

[@aryh9479]

[@JunKazamaFan]

Yoshimitsu has been embraced by the fandom because he's a completely unique character. You risk oversaturation when you start adding more characters that feel similar to what he represents.

[@joeblooda]

I think Tekken has never been a game that try to mimics reality (except maybe for 4 that was really grim and dark, but not realistic), so I wouldn't try to find something like that in this series. It's identity had changed during the years because at some point you must innovate to stay alive. And I say this as a person playing this franchise since the first chapter (yeah I'm old in a sense XD) I don't like 2D characters in a 3D game, but as for the rest, well... Does anyone here remember Gon? The kangaroo? Azazel? The robots and devils? Damn ninjas that teleport?So, in the end, is it so terrifying that now we have a character from FFXVI (which is made really well and loyal to the original)? I don't think that's the problem. I look at Virtua Fighter as the most down to earth 3D fighter, since the old chapters. Anyway, I can understand what you're talking about and can see your point of view. P.s.: in Soul Calibur 2 there was Heihachi as a guest character, just to add some thought to this.

[@CephlonMayngrum]

Tekken has had vf beat in animations since t3. Fights in tekken look and feel way more realistic than any fighting game on the market, including boxing and mma Sim fighters

[@gunman48100]

Geese and Akuma fits more as true guess characters then anyone else.

[@TheTruthContestt]

Tekken is not losing it's identity. It is simply gaining a new one.

[@aryh9479]

Best take that I agree with. It clearly looks like they are personally taking it upon themselves to rebrand TEKKEN away from the legacy playerbase. Not gonna lie, while he does look solid, he really does look very out-of-place. The Soul Caliber Argument is justified. The identity of this game is going through a crisis-it literally does not look like TEKKEN.

A lot of people talking about Tekken identity but none of you played Tekken before Tekken tag 2 at very best, keep walking and stop trying to look like a purist while you weren’t even born when Tekken 5 released.

That's what I'm saying. Tekken for decades has had a boxing kangaroo, a boxing dinosaur, a God of fighting that has two cartoonishly different forms, two devil characters, an angel character and guest characters are pulling people out of the game?

Since Tifa is the most requested character(if not, she is second after Kiryu), Cloud and Sephiroth are probably in the top 10. Bamco asked Square Enix for them, but they have some reasons not to do that. Ig they are very protective of their most precious IP ever. In fact, I found only 2 games with FF7 characters other than Square Enix games. And so Square Enix is like "No, but u can use our last FF's protagonist" and they did this in T7 as well, IMHO its a bad choice, get the other most wanted guest or tk characters instead.

[@spectrumbots4268]

Tekken is from the same company that made Pac-Man and Dig Dug, so yeah it’s goofy; It’s been like that since 1994. Tekken has had stuff like Tekken Ball, Bowl, the bears, Mokujin, Dr. Bosconovitch, the Jack Robots, and many silly endings. Lili in dark resurrection had the Prince from Katamari as an accessory, and there was even a Tekken version of Galaga back in 2015. I get what you’re coming from. However, it’s disingenuous to say it’s all about martial arts. I’m more worried about how nasty the monetization will get. I’m waiting for a complete edition of Tekken 8.

[@GamingOC]

I've National 3° place trophy in my library, from tekken 4, i was like 15 or 16. The game was rough but so much different from today. Now im 39 and i stepped up into tekken 8 and menaged to reach kishin rank, which for my understanding is a pretty shit rank, but man the game became so hard. The competition is insane, if you don't know every frame on every move you basically can't compete, which is why i've stopped playing since i don't have the time anymore. Also i don't really like the fact that once you get launch, you are basically never touching the ground again, combos feels like never ending. Not gonna say anything about flashy characters and moves, those are just part of the scenario, but the game design feels much worse and much less enjoyable. Rage arts are really stupid stuffs, ofc in my opinion, too strong and also they totally break the flow of the game with insane long animations. heat isn't balanced at all, there are some characters that can kill you in heat even if you block everything, while also having 0 punishable frames, some other characters instead doesn't really make good use of the heat mechanic, i mean hello, balance? It could be me, it could be that my ahead is tied to good old days, playing tekken in real, traveling for turnaments, reading stuffs on the forums, hanging out with friends after the turnaments, but i feel the old tekken 4 and even tekken 5 were much more enjoyable games even at competitive level that this fency thing we have today. Maybe im wrong, and i know there are ppl that enjoy this game out there ofc :)

Great video as usual 👍. Tekken has been gradually losing its way since 6 I think. I have played Tekken since Tekken 2 and have played all of them granted at more of a casual friend level. Tekken has always had some silly elements but more often than not where they pulled from reality. There are videos of people insanely fighting Bears, Bulls, and Kangaroos 😅. The thing is to me their has to be a balance and I think they have lost it fully with this game. Tekken 8 to me is Tekken Unga Bunga Edition. I don't care for rage arts or the heat system really. To me a degree of fantasy was okay as long as it didn't give the particular character advantage in the neutral. Flashy techniques mid combo are okay because the player earned them already through winning the neutral. Devil lasers for the most part outside of the neutral are avoidable at mid and high level play. In the case of Yoshi early on he was not considered bad because he was clearly toned down from his Soul Calibur version. Now he has arguably Unga Bunga tools that allow him to get away with ridiculous stuff just refer to the MainManSwe's video. In the end it seems that they are running the risk of Soul Caliburing Tekken which frankly sucks. Don't blend Tekken with a sadly dormant franchise of Soul Calibur because if they fully embrace that then this old man I guess will bow out. Tekken 8 to me has shown greed over gameplay and I think it will continue because to many will enable it. I think the dlc characters are more of that greed mindset put into action. As cool as Negan, Noctis, and Rosfield are next to nobody asked for them but you better believe Namco got 💰 for it. If they cared more for the fans the guest characters would reflect it I believe. In the end great video 🙇‍♂️. Hope Tekken gets better but not holding my breath. What is hilarious to me is that T8 going this way arguably make VF6 coming out the perfect time, and I would 🤣 if Tifa made it to VF first.

Someone had to say this. I think yes the game has lost its identity. I don't dislike Clive or Noctis and they're great characters in their respective game. But bringing them to Tekken as fighting games characters, that's a travesty, they're so incompatible with Tekken. Clive/Cloud as guest characters belong to Soul Calibur for instance. Tekken needs martial artists. At this rate, Bamco are just chasing after clout and popularity of other guest characters to bring in more players to their game. I'm glad we're getting Virtua Fighter back, it's gonna be replacing Tekken for me, at least Tekken 8, because I still play older Tekkens. But yeah , VF is gonna keep Tekken in check, so maybe they fix all their mistakes when They release 9 after 10 years or so lol.
