WTF?

Ok, okay, I understand that they have a bad imagination. There are so many different games from which to take a character, and they are taking from Final Fantasy for the second time, and they chose ... Not even Tifa, who would have been perfect for Tekken, but a character from the most commercially unsuccessful FF Square Enix has released up to this point. Whose idea was this, Harada? And most importantly, why?

Amazing how out of touch these devs are. I feel like there is little saving this game now.

Don't know and don't care. You should be able to use custom characters on the home screen in 12 and a half hours though. Hopefully a new fighting pass is also up.

Looks like the update is live even though servers will be under maintenance for a few hours.
P.S. Home screen still shows only default costumes for characters...

Clive is sick, after playing with him I'm glad they put him in the game. They did a really good job of bringing his abilities over and he has some really cool combos. The stage is cool too. I think once everyone gets over the disappointment of not getting Tifa they'll realize that he's actually a great addition to the game.

I think customize outfit for home screen is season 2 feature.Looks like the update is live even though servers will be under maintenance for a few hours.

No, it doesn't work that way, no one liked Noctis in Tekken 7 (Especially at high ranks), and now everyone's eyes are twitching from Victor (Cancer of this game), this game is not Soulcalibur, people don't play Tekken to fight with weapons, one Yoshimitsu is more than enough (Although no one likes him either, especially at high ranks). If they want to add characters with weapons so much, let them resurrect Soulcalibur and add it there, I don't play Tekken to be beaten with swords while I try to fight with my hands and feet.

It called Iron Fist for a reason, not Iron Sword.
And I keep seeing people used Yoshimitsu as example. Yoshimitsu use sword but he has more punch and kick than sword moves. And he is Tekken original character. Fuck Victor btw, bullshit character.
I don't even like any guest character to be honest. Noctis, Akuma, Geese, Negan, Clive. None of those look fun to me. Well maybe Negan because he actually play like tekken character.

I hate how they're basically ignoring the fact that Soul Calibur and Tekken always complimented one another with one being weapon based and the other being martial arts based. It's criminal what they're doing to the identity of the series with these outlandish wacky anime character designs like Clive, Victor and the recent iterations of Yoshi and Devil Jin. Even fucking Jin, the definition of honest karate man, is now doing fantasy anime flips and transformations. I think it's just low effort design.

I hate all guest characters. And I agree about Jin, I loved him in 4 and 5, but now he fights like a Shonen character. I fought a ton of Noctis in T7 and they weren't fun to fight against, though most of them I faced were predictable scrubs.
Soul Calibur is secretly better. SC2 is still my number one 3D fighter of all time. I luckily still have access to the HD version which was low effort, but better than nothing. For all I care they release SC2 again, I likely play it rather than this.

After trying the Virtua Fighter beta, I decided to refund Tekken 8. They've turned this game into a special move showcase. I even used them myself, and I couldn’t enjoy my victories. The series is heading in a direction I don’t like. I'm not a big fan though, if fans are happy, good for them. I'm out.

I really hope Revo finds a sustainable playerbase on PC because it's the perfect game to compliment T8 with its restrained animations and generally snappy execution. I feel like Tekken is in need of some developer change. The current devs are turning Tekken into pure satire of it.

I also feel like he would have better as a Soul Calibur character. I'm ok with some Tekken characters like Yoshimitsu or Kumimitsu having weapons that complement their fighting styLes, but Clive just feels out of place here. It would have been better fan service to pull in another classic Tekken character.

There is a reason I think T3 and TTT1 are the best. And T5 DR still.
Those games are more grounded, and just more fun to play with less comeback mechanics and stupid shit. I think the roster of T5 DR is fine too, basically everyone fans ask for is there. Anna, Armor King, Bruce? All there.
And I think Tekken also misses the mark with newcomers since 7. Gigas, Katarina, Claudio, Lucky Chloe, Josie, Shaheen... sorry but none of them resonated with me.

Terrible choice.... He's a Soul Calibur fighter if anything but Tekken? lolno
Would rather have Zell the assclown who forgets his hands are his weapons than Clive

Tekken Tag 1 and Tekken 4 are different games (that I also enjoy). Tekken 5 stuff is still ingrained into a layer of Tekken 8, but there is a lot of stuff on top of it. That said, there is no other Tekken game that fills me with the same joy as playing EWFG Kuma, Leroy, Claudio (as Rugal's twin brother), and (oriental) Traditional Lars in Tekken 8.
P.S. They should get the unwanted guest off the start screen ASAP.

On the plus side, endless rematch in quick match/lobbies and custom character on main menu.

Think I’m done with this game
Absolutely sick of opponents ending juggle combos, only for me to land on my back with my legs in the air just to be launched again.
Once I’m in a juggle combo I may as well put the controller down and watch the rest of the round play out.
This crap didn’t happen in Tekken 7 (which I’ve platinumed)

If you're not escaping the combo by quick rising(up, up) or siderising (square button) then it's a true combo. There's not much to do but watch the combo play out sadly. Usually you get combo'd for throwing out a very unsafe move or getting whiff punished. But yeah it requires a special kind of mentality to tolerate getting juggled by Tekken 8's minute long combos. I think T5DR had the ideal combo length.Think I’m done with this game

I see what you mean, it’s just frustrating guessing your opponents moves. Sidesteps’s nerfed and there’s too much chip damage.
I really do miss the defensive and more strategic style of Tekken 7.
I loved Tekken 7 online, my only issue watch it was load times between matches

Juggles in this game are not even that bad compared to Tekken Tag 2 and Tekken 7. It is the oki for some characters that really kills me. I have no idea what to do against Jun's AoEs at the wall for example. Does not seem like there is any way out...

Hello guys, question for those who play on PS5.
When i use stream feature, the game looks normal, but when i use the video capture option, it looks bit weird once i upload it on youtube
Here's an example
This one is stream, looks normal
This one is video capture looks different, with the game has same settings
Anyone know why it is like this? anything to change in the console setting maybe?

It's HDR capture. Not sure what setting to change but try to play around with HDR settings. Maybe disable HDR altogether?

When will season 2 come out.... just annouce the date already.
Feel like I've to wait forever to play Anna.
Just hope they can balance this shit show. I haven't touched this game like more than a month.
Just come back to Tekken 7, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and it feels so much better.

There are a number of different recovery options for you the moment you hit the floor after the combo ends, or after your opponent whiffs/drops the combo. They're all worth looking up and putting into practice, and come with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Then you also have multiple options once you're actually grounded. If you're being combo'd while getting up, it's most likely because you're pushing an attack button to rise. While this can be useful at the right time, it's usually the riskiest option because you're very succeptible to counterhit, and getting launched for a combo. Getting up while grounded is pretty fucking risky no matter what, so if in doubt, just lie there and see what happens, or push a direction to rise and go into block.
For better or worse, it's just how Tekken is. While everything can be escaped, punished or countered, it's still a very cutthroat, dirty game where you always have to be wary of your opponent taking the opportunity to exploit you at your most vulnerable.

Just what the game needed... maid costumes. Looks like the fight pass is a bigger shit show than usual as well.

They nerf my Anna quite a lot lol.
B 22 lost mini combo, FC df2 now T! Launch.

But it looks like she can now do that off a heat engager which gives her a braindead 50/50. I hate those post heat engager situations there far too oppressive. I was hoping they would tone them down not add a full crouch option alongside Anna the full crouch mixup queen.
Slothbeing1209

Yeah we can enter crounching with Heat engager. Meaning they buff every characters have good fc low move or slide...
Well it's Tekken 8 - a fucking casino game. Every situations are 50/50... Now I just hope they nerf heat and chipp dmg system. And Reina has a new low move that actually good, maybe fc low.
