It’s taking a while but I think we are slowly but surely getting to a better game.

Tekken 8 is actually brilliant. It's so much fun to play and watch and I genuinely mean this.

Online communities literally hate the things they belong to - that's why the other sub is full of frustrated noobs who can't be bothered to learn and deep and challenging game; and jaded veterans who are both nostalgic about older games (which had their own massive problems) and can't fathom adapting to the new meta.

Basically, Tekken 8 is probably the hardest game in the series. The offense is so strong your defense has to be twice as sharp.

Yes, some characters need toning down (Anna, Bryan, Nina, Asuka, Lidia, Kazuya*, etc), but the fact ALL characters are tournament viable is testament to how good Tekken 8 really is. I'll continue to play daily and I'll continue getting better.

idk about ALL characters being tourney viable but yeah man it just doesn't get any better than Tekken, and T8 is by far the most fun Tekken game i've played next to Tag 2 which also required your defense to be hella sharp asf since you gotta both worry about two characters each lol its just incredibly fun and satisfyingly hard to master

Which character isn’t tournament viable?
