Ive gotten into Tekken 8 recently. It is my first fighting game ever. It has been a fun challenge learning things in game. I have to day that your channel has made learning the game much more manageable and enjoyable! Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work!

[@via_negativa6183]

not having photomode in replay is a massive missed opportunity. Also one thing he failed to mention which I think.is really important they said you can buy coins in 300 point amounts now which is a significant compromise because the costumes from memory are exactly 300, so they aren't scumming you to spend more money than you need anynore a practise in the videogane industry I think should be illegal.

[@jadenthecommenter]

@via_negativa6183 bare minimum change but yes I hate this practice so much. Curse you fortnite

[@RussDaBusta]

They mentioned the coins in the stream

[@WeMissDimebag]

The costume are 400 but if they’re on sale they will be 300. So this change allows you to buy the pass cleanly but the costume issue still exists.

[@JulienTomes]

Just throwing more positive feedback into the comments section. Really enjoy the timestamps and breakdown, even the chapters to make it super easy to navigate. would watch more..

Phi, you are the master at analysis. I didn't want to watch the full 2 hour livestream. Woke up to find this amazing bread crumb of into with timestamps and I watched everything in MY order. Outfits, battle pass, tekken ball info and THEN I watched the part about Lidia's play style.

[@TriNguyen-iu2vi]

I`m lost for words! there are alot of positives with the Lidia event! I dont agree with constantly making character designs simplified for the casuals, Thats telling me that Namco is more concened about selling DLCS and catering to the casuals that dont tend to last very long,, why the competive players are the ones that carry the legacy of tekken forward.. making characters easier isnt the answer to keeping players around longer it actually makes the players bored faster..

[@Hypercube1729]

Great job, Phi! Being on the other side of the globe, I was of course asleep, but this got me all covered. Thanks!

The june incident

[@eracer166]

Free stages are pretty cool. Speaking cynically it’s probably just so people who have the DLC match up with non-DLC players and arent forced to not have access to the map, but still cool nonetheless.

Summer wear “exists” = Tekken 8 10/10

[@Hakimaster420]

DIRECT, LINEAR, POWERFUL PENETRATION Phiddy 2024😂

[@seanr143_4]

I'm personally sceptical of the behavioural fixes myself especially ones that squash player creativity and freedom. In most games this is handled poorly or at least nowhere near as maticulously as it should be but if Tekken 8 hasnt proven that they have the adaptability and development skill to make these decisions with the players interest in mind then I dont know what can. A perfect example can be made with the steve peekaboo cancel. The manovour itself wasnt that big an issue, it had difficult execution, it provided options outside of lionheart and helped shape the creativity of steves offence. While it was an "Unintended oversight" it served to highlight the glaring issue people had with steves moves that lock you into lionheart. Using this as an example allowed the developers to make a change to steves character providing players with a healthy alternative fix while leaving his core identity much the same. If this trend were to continue to be reflected across all behaviour and balance patches, I for one see a bright future for the Tekken scene.

Phidx should take over tekken talk and get the dlc character early. Phidx would make a more entertaining tekken talk

[@grantgarbour]

Don't worry too much. Beginners aren't going to recognize that their opponent blocked it and go for their armor move, that's an upper intermediate to advanced technique. Beginners are struggling to launch most launch punishable moves, the hard mart would be recognizing that it's launch punishable without the stagger, but they should be able to take their turn regardless (but they are beginners so it's up in the air)

[@chocomarmotte]

“streamlining stance characters so they don’t turn off new players”: L3i Wulong incoming

[@genzo454]

*Lei 4long 😂

Them streamlining stance characters is the worst idea to ever exist. Characters like lei wulong are for people who perfected using those "useless" moves and making their own path. Tekken is going downhill

40:29 I agree... Back in Tekken 5, pros are more known with how their characters look like instead of how they actually look like since they have signature customs even in tourneys

[@pupondrun]

And this is why these things should prerecorded. Information dispersement should be done in a well organized manner

[@begaxo]

thank you phillip

[@Dremoralize]

Damn we really reached the beach episode now :^)

[@sebbbi2]

i20 crush low at +5 will hit in frame 15, so it will not CH a i10 jab. But it will CH jab string extensions. Double jabs would be risky. Single jab is fine. But I guess you could just dick jab instead to beat the low and the power crush, since the power crush is high. You might also get a whiff punish for Lidia’s power crush after dick jab. Jack’s stance high power crush is launch punish against dick jab. Depends on recovery time. Lidia seems to have jumping attacks in the stance. Dick jab is going to lose against those. Lidia ff2 seems quite similar to Reina’s. Long range (neutral solver) mid into mixup on block.

[@Jsobone]

Finally release date for Lidia. I can't wait to check her out.

[@campinsomnia425]

I wouldn’t mind a longer vid🤷🏽‍♂️

[@illusionjt4314]

She needs to be plus 5 to go in to her stance if that’s true why they didn’t fix Lee’s hitman stance when you close up on your opponent on block you automatically get hit out your stance and can’t crush anything unless your opponent mistimed your timing. Even Jin get hit out of his stance on block.

[@sjalabi35]

A lot of people were complaining about not knowing the release date for Lydia but let me say this. This game has a smaller development team but through long term leadership, customer experience oriented thought, and a real love for the game, they have done so well with Tekken 8. Let them take their time when we live in a time where these major studios with more resources do way less and don’t care about anything but sucking up our money

[@simpson6700]

neat i guess, but none of this is bringing me back to the game.

[@chucklos391]

[@Yorsem]

24:35 when Murray is saying "don't pay too much attention to the frames" I think he's directly addressing a lot of outcry in the stream chats. People are jumping to conclusions immediately rather than listening to what they have to say and then eventually learning things for themselves.

[@yellowscarlightningscream8347]
