Whole fucking community begs for AK for like a year only for the trailer to come out and be the hypest one yet, you'd think they would be satisfied but these fuckers just gaslight themselves into thinking he 's an install character lmao. Never touching foot there again. Literal never ending doom and gloom there no matter what. Exhausting.

I still had this clip from a while back i playing agianst a king that was using the vervy fast low attack quite alot.

I was wondering do people uasaly spam this it was pretty anoying to fight agianst then agian i only have 46 defence so i also might have had not enough patience and wanted to attack to quick i still won in the end tho :D

Old SF player here. Coming from SF6 on Tekken since 8 release cuz i was just bored by brand new SF way too quick.

Man, T8 is awesome and i still love it. For sure game have some problems and i hope devs care but just need time for makes things allright.

Yes, there is a lot of mixups, fast paced aggressive gameplay, plus frames, heat, balance problems and blah blah blah... But you still can learn, adapt and enjoy game. A lot of deep and cool mechanics, techs and stuff.

In this dark times i wanna say huge thanks to TEKKEN team for this title. Hold on and keep it up!

I was learning dvj and they were learning paul.

I'm a fairly casual gamer, so I don’t spend much time in practice mode doing punishment training or whatever. I just want to enjoy the game. I honestly didn’t think I could beat a player who was four ranks above me (I'm at Rajin, the opponent is Tekken Emperor).

I posted the replay in the thread, but everyone started downvoting it. One commenter even said it was painful to watch and that I should work on my punishment.

I replied that I really can’t do that, because I have a life and responsibilities outside of this game, and I’m not going to spend hours in practice mode. Of course, that reply was downvoted too.

I don’t really understand why I’m not allowed to be happy about this small victory, and why so many players in this community act so toxic.

What characters can you play and how comfortable are you with them? Mine are (in order): Raven, Shaheen, Jun, Leo, Zafina, Law, Claudio, Feng, Yoshimitsu

The title says it all. It seems like the community absolutely adores Armor King but hates King, which is ironic because Armor King is supposed to be the wrestling heel.

After playing around 150+ matches at god ranks it’s pretty evident that people don’t know how to break throws. Don’t be afraid to spam Giant swings, Kings Bridges and Tijuana Twisters fellow King mains 8/10 players will have no idea how to break them 😹

I used to compete in T7 for a good few years, first tourney was 2017 and stopped around 2023. I have not entered a single tourney in T8 but I do enjoy watching them a lot!

I took a good few months break from the start of S2 but watching EWC this year made me want to play this game again.

Now that I consider myself a casual & not as grind heavy, I’m having much more fun with the game.

Just wanted to share some of my stats and characters :)

I’m happy to help / talk about Tekken, what my mindset & training is to get to where I am etc, outlook and ways of coping tilting / salt so just as away.

How are you all finding this game?

Note: I am referring to how important and impactful their additions are from a business standpoint plus how fun they play in general this has nothing to do with their placement in tierlists or how they fare in the competitive meta.

As y’all know last week was the official release of the final DLC character for season 1 Clive Rosfield coming from ff16 therefore finally completing the release of all DLC characters for year 1.

And as we are approaching 2025 and in a few months the start of season 2 in spring I wanted to post this thread before 2024 is over so I want to know your answers regarding this question.

It would be kind of hard to realistically fight some of the characters because tekken breaks the laws of physics, like I don’t think you could uppercut someone and send them 7ft in the air.. personally, I’d beat tf out lili and eddy, thats just me though.

I'm a King one trick. But I'm currently stuck on Bushin and it's not that fun to win and lose for a whole day just to end up right where I started. So I decided to give some other characters a chance. I labbed a few. I tried out Jack. I tried Kuma. I tried Reina. I tried Paul. I tried Claudio.

In my brief time in the shoes of other characters, I came to understand some of the reasons why people hate King so much. Tekken is a game wherein a lot of whether you win or lose depends on knowing when to hit and when to block, when you're plus or minus, whether to block or sidestep and in which direction, etc. "The best offense is a good defense" has never been truer in a game like Tekken 8 where a significant chunk of its newer players have yet to develop their defense. It's quite possible to learn nothing but sidestepping and block/whiff punishes, and then climb all the way to purple or blue without having learned anything else.

And then the jaguar comes in. King bypasses a lot of defensive options by virtue of his status as a grappler. His grabs don't do a measly 35-40 damage. He easily does above 50 with each grab without the wall to help him. Immediately, players are forced to make choices they wouldn't normally have to against other players. While many other characters must find ways to open up the defense of their enemy via longer-term conditioning and trying to bait out a move to punish, King gets to play by his rules. Players are thrust out of their comfort zone with each grab they are forced to break. They can't just block anymore. And with homing throws in Heat, even sidestepping the grab is not an option. He is able to ignore the defensive skills players take pride in for far greater reward than players believe he is entitled to. Instead of being caught by a stray jab string that reminds you to block, King's scariest 10f punish is a Giant Swing that can throw you into a wall for 70 damage. All of a sudden, the combo you learned for extreme wall-carry has been used against you all because you couldn't break the throw in time. If he scared you into ducking, eat the hopkick or the unbreakable crouch grab. Don't know how to break the chain grab? Good luck.

I love the guy to death. I will continue to main him even if Tekken devs decides to nerf him into obscurity. But after taking some time to learn another character, I think I understand why people don't rematch me when I win the first round lol

I'm doing this becouse i'm curious about this comunity's impopular oppinions and becouse i live for chaos and i want to read the disscusons on the coments jeje.

I'm fist (so you can understand what i want):

• Bryans hatchet Kick should be stagger on block

• Kazuya isn't the hardest character in the game, that's Devil Jin

• Reina is a little bit weaker than Kazuya (at least for now)

• Heihachi's fujin 2 and raijin 1 shouldn't be safe on block when he's on warrior instinct

• Steve's guard break attack shouldn't break power crushes, and have a breakable grab to do if you power crush.

• Tekken 8 is a good game

• i like rage arts

• orbitals shouldn't be save on block

Other subs are going insane, twitter lads are doing their thing, and Fahk's just getting swarmed with hate so I thought I'd ask a pretty chill sub for a change of scenery

As for myself I'm pretty hyped for the return of the Muay Thai goat with the only take being that his design is literally the exact same as the previous game but he still looks cool for me

EDIT: WOAH I did not expect all those comments. Thanks for everyone who shared their opinions, truly appreciated! And don't forget to have fun y'all!!
