As someone who (as much as I don’t wanna admit it) has a lot of experience with Lili, it feels surreal to see MainMan say he doesn’t mind her in this game/compliment her playerbase’s skill. She’s such a prime character to hate on but here, Mainman (who is known for generally disliking female characters in Tekken) is actually giving her credit. I will say that for Tekken 8 standards, she is a rather fundamental character and overall on the more honest side. I am biased to be fair and she definitely does have some cheese, I totally get why people hate her but I don’t think she’s as mindless as some of the other characters in this game. She can definitely exploit certain tools and flowcharts, especially against people unfamiliar with the matchup but you do also need fundamentals and strong mixups to take full advantage of her at higher levels (and just for clarification, I am not calling her weak). Many of her cheesier tools do have defined counterplay, even though it can be hard to apply depending on the instance.

Asuka's character is based on the "Kansai Culture" of Osaka, Japan. She incorporates the "bokke and tsukkomi" humor that was popularized there. Just like how they tried to capture the Filipina's insecure disposition when they made Josie, they tried to capture that culture of Osaka when they made Asuka. Harada himself had to explain this on X (formerly known as twitter) to dispel some of the hate. After all, Asuka was made to represent an entire culture of a region in the nation he was born in. It's only sad to see that the game's current biggest content creator is the main propagator of such hate that Harada himself is trying to combat.

Anything "anime" that isn't Reina, probably. It's interesting, any character that's young, chipper and upbeat is disliked by TMM and even many other Tekken players.

But ofc xiaoyu mains always been toxic af I'm not surprised

[@Lancorian]

@@executioner_abw8897 Sorry, I was busy beating up another Kazuya. Ah, so Devil Jin Main, the Mishima that shoots laser beams and and flies around. Check out the win rates, Xiaoyu is always towards the lower end, and that's independent of ranks. And talking about toxicity, that's a typical Mishima trait. More than often I got hate messages from Mishimas especially Kazuya (and that was already the case in T7). I can't take that serious anymore. Must all be TMM fan boys that live in their own hate bubble, lol.

[@sagearmaggedon7307]

Reina can be pretty braindead in lower ranks. All they do is pretty much just mash. And this can be tricky to deal with since she gets plus frames on almost everything

[@Jylstin]

Everyone can just hate Xiaoyu, Jun, Alisa, Asuka or every broken character in terms of gameplay but we all love them as characters because their all cool. As a Asuka main I’m heartbroken because I’m not a good fighting game player and she’s easy to pick up and play learning to master her is as usual not easy, A pro player like Fergus even says she’s not good at all in this game even though he brought her to GOD Twice. Tekken 8 might be the first fighting game I’ve seen where almost all characters have some type of complete fundamental bullshit without complaining.

[@veissra4047]

Keep at it, I've played her since T5 and this actually might be the worst she has ever been. Still a ton of fun and viable. End of the day, you are here to have fun and play the characters you like. Forget the hate lol.

[@Jylstin]

@@veissra4047 thanks man, I love mainman and I know he loves Tekken with heart and soul but sometimes I just feel like he’s criticising these characters because of people who don’t learn the game and is just mashing which I mean this game is the most accessible and appealing Tekken ever of course there’s gonna be people doing these brain dead stuff. I genuinely think some of the characters are designed extremely well it just that the devs kinda went too far making them OP and “brain dead” while they focus on the more loved characters like Jin, Reina etc. I just feel like the hate is not justified on characters and more so players, don’t pro players work their ass of for being the best? I thought everyone says ranked doesn’t matter as Long as your learning. I’m a newcomer to Tekken 8 but this Negativity is INSANE as I’ve never encountered this much BS in NRS games. Appreciate the kind words though ❤️

@@Jylstin Yeah, especially when it comes to Asuka since she is low tier. Complaining about her just feels like it's punching down by this point.

I also agree with the community, though I think part of it is just how people are these days, just toxic and negative. It's sad really...

I went the opposite. I tried a lot of different characters because I was resisting playing Jun, who I wanted to play ever since seeing her inclusion in the game. I gave up avoiding a top tier and I’m having more fun. Almost everyone’s busted to a certain extent anyway plus it’s so early in the games life, so imo play who you like most 🤷 (Leroy is sick tho.

I find it interesting that you're saying Asuka is braindead to play. The only thing I've heard, even from high tier Asuka mains, is that she's underwhelming compared to other characters and just a worse Jun, way worse than her previous incarnations. Then there are other players, like yourself, that say she's hell to play against. So why isn't there a consistence?

Fighting Kazuya is mostly just a guessing game which involves a lot of luck, and it gets really boring after a few dozen matchups. His lack of (viable) moves doesn't help his repetitiveness either. Every Kazuya I see feels like the same person but from different timelines in their life lol

[@chrispetersen1219]

I think it's totally cool to hate Alisa (as an Alisa player myself) but tbh I think she has pretty glaring weaknesses. I think her offensive capabilities without chainsaws are wack. In neutral stance, her best moves are mostly slow keepout tools. B+1 is 15 frames, db+3 is 17 frames and minus on hit. D+3 is super risky and I don't even like throwing it out now that they buffed her d+4. I think the whole reasons her chainsaws are so good on block is because her neutral game forces you to play defensively. I have to really focus on defense in neutral, which is why I feel pretty good when I get a good block or whiff punish or get off a good sidestep etc. Shes cheesy af with chainsaws, but without she can't really threaten you. Keep her out when you have a life lead and you'll do a lot better, trust me!

[@gustavogoesgomes1863]

about jin and lee, there is something weird about them in this game. I think that it is associated with their body size and animations. I can't really understand why but they felt way more agile and fluid, and it was what made them such a joy to watch on t7. on 8 everyone is just mega blaster jacked and the animation is kinda... savage-ish. lee still has beautiful gameplay though, but jin doesn't look the same anymore to me. but maybe it has to do with his moveset too, on 7 everything that jin did looked so technical and deliberate, on 8 watching jin gameplay just looks like a refined brawler

[@NYG5]

[@patches3]

it doesnt help that lee has the third worst backdash in the game and has shit sidesteps

[@GruntSquad92]

honestly? i think for me its because Jin is not as stubby and short ranged anymore. If you ever had a feel for how he plays, even subconsciously as a casual, you kinda start to appreciate how deliberate his movement must be. his jabs being stubby forced your play. now people can just spam paw and all that. so that refined use of movement and evasive maneuvers is being replaced by far reaching attacks. less refined set up/Tekken Style footwork and execution of technical combos, and more simple brawling moves. ... at least that is what i am telling myself now. i noticed that i vastly enjoy watching t7 Jin gameplay compares to t8 and that is me attempting to find an answer

[@gustavogoesgomes1863]

@@GruntSquad92this makes sense, I think it has something to do with the new moves too, like nyg5 mentioned. it completely breaks the "concentrated karate strategist" kind of demeanor when he literally goes down and scratches your shin with energy claws lol and because they are new key moves and are thrown a LOT his style just goes out the window
