TSR at 100% should turn upscaling "off"
Also it's a fighting game, they all run at 60hz because of frame data.

Pick 2 or 3 combos from practice mode you like. Keep doing them over and over until you automatically go for them after any launcher.
With Azucena for example, I do a lot of
d2,3, 1+2 after a launcher. which you can follow up with many moves. If its a high launcher (such as rising/WS 2), you can start with 4,3 and then do it.
Generally, you see a pattern. Many Azucena combos start with d2,3, 1+2. Every character has some sort of bread and butter move like this.

I remember why I loved Tekken as a kid. So much customization, side games and goofy ass stuff.

Damn. Tekken 8 seems to have done killer on console. PC sales aren't on fire but man did they overprice it hard. I heard you could find it relatively cheap on console (meaning 50-60€) so I pin this on greedy Steam pricing.

This is why I regard arcade quest so highly. I remember having your problem in Street Fighter because combo trials were the only way we were taught combos. Arcade Quest here says, “here is a combo that launches the enemy, use it”, and it’s shown on the screen in every fight at that arcade. “Here is a combo that uses the heat dash, use it”, and so on. Every arcade introduces a few new combos and rewards their usage.

With games going gaas and so low content upfront and so few modes and promises of content ahead
It's such a pleasant surprise Tekken has an amazing amount of content upfront
Fucking 32 characters at launch with good amount of single player content , excellent multiplayer full cross play is just pure cocaine.
Mark my words its going to sell well

It's becoming very difficult not to break my resolution of not buying new games at launch with this just coming out. The demo was outstanding for this and both my kids ended up playing together which was fun to watch. I'm glad it's doing well, I'll try to fight the urge to pick it up until a sale comes around...

Been absolutely steamrolling in ranked with Yoshi. Won like 15 straight last night. Damn I love the first few weeks of fighting games online. Gonna try to hit purple ranks by the weekend.

I spent hours playing my ghost, poor thing hasn't stood a chance yet.
It's learning though but I always got something new to teach it.

PS5 version.....what are you guys using for your brightness and that other setting (saturation i think)? in the image calibration menu.
I'm trying to find that sweet spot where the image looks super sharp and clear but not too bright. The main menu screen with all the tabs looks a bit bright on my OLED no matter what i do.

Oh yes and I've shown it blocking and reversals and fake ours and I've seen it do it and adapted to it, so I'm learning from myself
But the problem is unlike AI I ain't predictable.
I changed to the situation but I'm sure it'll learn that too eventually.

Say your goodbyes to Panda everyone because there’s not much time left.
Unless they manage to make 9 in time.

Harada's Ghost was surprisingly easy. Was expecting a bit more.

Additional thought regarding Heat; I really think Heat Smash is mostly only valid as a whiff punisher or combo extender. It's otherwise a high risk move and there are generally safer options to go for in neutral.
Also, my thumbs hurt now on the damn Dualsense controller. First Playstation controller to hurt my thumb like this because of its stiff d-pad. Oh well. The show must go on!

I played about 20 ranked matches. Half PC and half PS. One single Xbox match, and it was some Kazuya beginner spamming special controls. Now I see why people find them annoying.
My problem is that my right hand slides up a bit and catches that edge under R2.
This is the first I’ve heard of this. I always thought the pad was kind of soft, especially compared to the hard clicky Xbox pad.

I have Sony a95k and just left it at whatever the defaults are.

Ahhh I hardly got to play. I got like 3 hours in on saturday and that was it. Spent the rest of the day at a family thing and my wife wants every spare minute for us to play BG3. Then next day I had to pull out a fucking gas tank that got a crack in it from some freak debris on the freeway. Worked till I finally got it out but I couldn't take any more of the fumes under there. Went back in and right to BG3 all night lol.
When I got to play though, I did that thing where I got tired of trying to brush up and jumped straight online lol. Impatience. I still didn't understand how heat worked except it was obviously some kind of install that seemed to happen by itself so that was good enough. It's such a nice game. I really enjoyed the time I had with it.

There's no way to send cross platform invites like that, you need to be in the same lobby or play each other first.

I've been enjoying playing as Yoshimitsu. Feels better than Tekken 7 to me.

Rage Art is still as trash and infuriating as in Tekken 7. What a garbage piece of shit mechanic.

I like having to hesitate when an opponent is on the ropes, but I’m already tired of seeing the same animations over and over.

As I've said before going back and forth between Xbox controller and PS5 controller makes my hands hurt when I play a competitive game on dualsense. Different stick layouts? I dunno but doesn't seem like it was a problem as much on ps4.

This is the character I went with and DAMN. I'm trying to learn this game legit as I can but fuck it... Time to turn on easy mode like everyone is doing in Ranked.

The animations are just salt on the wound and I feel like it just teaches bad habits of forcing 50/50 toin coss scenarios. I know there is more to it than that but I can't see how a mechanic introduced for beginners is actually fun for beginners. It isn't. So many times someone is spamming RA and then realizes I hesitate because he has RA and then just does a sneaky low or grab. I just find this scenario extremely frustrating to play around.

Tekken 3 was my absolute favorite game on PS1 but it’s terrible that I’m still seeing the same animations in Tekken 8 as in that game. How is this acceptable? Do Tekken fans really don’t care about this and a little better graphics is enough? I seriously don’t get it. I will buy this for a heavy discounted price of course, like I did with 7 (which again, barely looked different than 6) as I like the series but it‘s so disappointing that the animations just refuse to evolve.

There's a price to pay if you want 30 characters on your starting roster.

The animations are all completely different even if they have similar key frames. Only ones that could have used a bit more polish are the idle animations with too much movement like Lee.
The Rage Arts can only take about 40% of health and activate at about 20%, so if you are ahead enough it is not a concern. It is a tool but the armored moves are already there to set up exchanges with similar damage output. I am more peeved by certain moves automatically triggering heat as it streamlines both what I can do and limits my use of it. I would love to have some alternative Rage Arts and selectable intros and outros like Street Fighter IV as some are downright intolerable like Marshall Law's greed and Azucena's coffee talk.

I’m sorry but the below example (which is not exactly from Tekken 3, but shows my point) I can see no difference:

Of course it is acceptable. If they literally took Tekken 3, added smooth online play, it would still be worth every penny. Games do not constantly need to have “more” to be worth playing.

Loves his juicy stink trail scent
Azucena is so much easier than Reina to hit big dick damage. Reina without perfect EWGF makes damage routes hard. Azucena basically feels like female Miguel.
Victor is super hype too.
These 3 newcomers are so well done. I never played Leeroy in T7 and tried him here… this dude hits like a Mack truck without any difficult inputs or ways to get there.
Lastly, this is the BEST version of King in any tekken. God damn!

Armored moves can be thrown and they usually have wind-up animations too. Not to mention they don't have those stupid lengthy animations either. RAs are not satisfying to win with and they're infuriating to lose against. And it usually takes some rounds before you get the hang of a player's RA habits and by then the game is over and done. No, this is just a garbage T7 leftover mechanic already made redundant by Heat. There was no point bringing this trash over.

They would need to change the move to transition to crouching and standing instead of prone to really diferentiate it (ala Jean from Virtua Fighter 5R). There are slight differences in the left leg though.
If Rage Arts were removed I would not miss them. I would not mind exchanging them for infinite heat either. At the same time, they are not as much of a nuissance as in Tekken 7 and do not significantly alter the outcome of a match. Even Tekken 6's Rage was a far more egregious offender in this regard.
Azucena is a fun spectacle fighter and Victor is amazing outside of the absurd Metal Gear Revengence sword. Reina I absolutely despise. Her strikes have practically no impact and her being thrown into the spotlight is cringe like Luke in Street Fighter 6. I think King was better in Tekken Tag 2. I personally think Nina is the best she has ever been though.

Do you want to they replace every moves with every new version? Is Ryu's Hadouken different with each new version?
Jin has a lots different moves other than that you know?
And how to play Jin in Tekken 8 is completely different compare to Tekken 3.

Yeah the customization is amazing in this game,my Reina looking like a queen.King is forever the champ! Anyone complaining about T8's customization options are out of their mind. I loved SF6 but beyond basic colour swaps and an alt outfit (that requires grinding through World Tour which was fine by me, I loved that mode), everything else is locked behind a paywall. I'm talking strictly about the main character roster, not Avatar Battles where there is freedom to do what you want. In T8 every character comes with 4 preset looks and the customization options are endless, the game really needs a proper Photo Mode

Rage art is so easy to defeat in Tekken 7, though. As long as you know where each character's move hits it's so easy to block or avoid. It's great flair to use to punish with. Watching the same animation every time makes it kind of dull, though.

Azucena is basically a Josie/Katarina/Miguel hybrid and for the better imho. I didn't enjoy those 3 much, even though I started T7 with Josie. But Azucena is a lot of fun.
Agreed. Heat should be a good enough comeback mechanic. But its probably too complex for beginners since you can activate it whenever and also on accident if certain moves connect.
RA is ofcourse stupid easy. It only works near death and there is nothing else to it.
I don't know the optimal ways to use HA other than do it near the end of a combo and finish it normally. But it does give you more ground because its an extra hit that pushes back. So you get your opponent closer to the wall. I tried some other things but they didn't work, for example Zafina's second to last hit from her most advanced combo challenges (the f,f,f 1+2 follow up I think), she stays in crawling stance which doesn't even allow heat activation lol.
However some moves that normally don't have a follow up such as Paul's Deathfist can be followed up with a Heat Dash on hit, in which turn you lets you combo after a connected death fist anywhere on the screen.

Yeah I hate to watch the same animation over and over and It's too long. At least give a character 2,3 rage arts to customize. Like Jin has different rage art in story mode.

I agree. Some variety per character would be better. Especially If they hit differently and your opponent would have to guess which one they needed to avoid.
Reizo Ryuu

That shouldn't be possible, heat dash just closes the distance and puts you in a mixup sitation, it doesn't give you a guaranteed combo afterwards; if you managed to connect a hit after "phoenix smasher" > heat dash, then it sounds like your opponent simply isn't blocking.
