The Heat System is at the core of what Tekken 8 is about, so lets go in depth on everything! What the mechanics are, what they are all capable of, and some character specifics just to show how strong it can get. Give the vid a watch, leave a like if ya liked it and let me know what you think!

Sorry the Choose a Main is not up yet, I was up all night and I just hit a point where I knew it just wasn't gonna be live today no matter how hard I tried, so I threw this together quick to make sure there's a video for today. I am gonna finally get some sleep, then come back at it with 100% energy whenever I wake up and make sure the Choose a Main is live tomorrow! Also there's good stuff here anyways so watch it lol, heat system kinda important.

@@rooflemongerthanks so much for this in depth explanation!! Really helped a lot 😃👍

I don't think it's mentioned here but heat engagers can only be used to enter heat if the opponent is grounded. So you wont go into heat if you use them in an air combo. The r1 heat move will work against opponents in the air though. I may be missing a detail or two but that is what I gathered.

One more thing regarding Electrics in Heat. Doing that type of electric will drain the meter with each use. If you do a true electric it won't drain the meter, so its still worth trying to make the execution better.

This is my first tekken game and this video really helped thank you! This game is a freaking blast

Thank you for clarifying about needing a few frames for heat to kick in. I was getting so confused why it wasn't firing off for me sometimes lmao

The unique traits and properties in heat for each character is so awesome.

And you already know the name came up during a match with king "Ha, he's in heat!"

When I say this is deff the best fighting game I’ve played in a longgggg time. Never been this interested and invested in learning the characters. They made it very easy by having combo challenges for everybody, and I’m a martial artist so I love that they’re using real martial arts techniques and styles. So far I just used Hworang, Law, LeRoy, Abs the characters in the main story. All are fun asf! The heat system, the combos, the smoothness, just everything

I know everything you said but I still watch just because you're that good at explaining.

Best explanation on heat mechanics I have seen! Thanks Rooflemonger 👍🏻

Also you're a beast! Always impressed with how fast you work especially when new games launch

This is exactly what I was looking for. I was very confused before. XD

thanks for the video as always!! i buttonmashed on tekken 3 when i was a kid and i'm getting back on tekken 8 if you plan on making individual character guides, here's a vote to move Jun up on the queue :p

Thank you for always making new fighting games understandable to me rooflemonger 🙏

as a tekken lover you explained this perfectly i can see u doin incredible guides in tha futue 👍🏽

Thanks for the vids man, I'm just getting into Tekken and am super lost so these vids have been helping a lot lol

Thanks to you i finally get my answers...Merci from France !

Awesome stuff as always!

Amazing guide

Hi Rooflemonger 😀 As always in your videos, there is something to learn. 👍 Each subtle details described will be helpful to me to improve and get better ! ☺️

Didn't see it listed but also pretty important: Heat engagers will restore any recoverable health you have while heat bursts will not. Just FYI

I did not know some characters can gain heat meter back. That's cool af, I wonder how valuable it'll be though

Roofie is a GOD! I don’t know how he is so knowledgeable about basically every fighting game.

So far, I still enjoy the heat system and discovering what unique properties characters get out of them. Kuma's Heat System is probably the one I've enjoyed the most so far, letting him do EWGF loops of his own! XD

I've been waiting for this

I love your intro so much that i say it whenever you do lmao.

Great video.

Appreciate the dedication as always. Even boss gorillas need sleep. Rest up. I think you got many hours looking at a screen ahead. Least that's what the magic 8 ball said

Im hit the like, but im not going to watch this until i actually get the game...jus wanna show support 😎👍🏾

I haven’t played tekken since tekken 4 and I have to say was really enjoying it and visually probably best fighting game yet. Very difficult I was getting destroyed by people who clearly played previous tekken but I still enjoyed it. I usually start getting tilted when I loose but you can see the skill level is high for this game and it’s fun at its core.

Lol i haven't played since T5. I decided to get back into Tekken and im getting smoked online. Forgot how hard Tekken is

great explanation in the new mechanic. King has a very big advantage in regaining heat meter then. If he lands one of his multi throws

Sir is a G, and I am now a sub

Great explanation

When they first went over the PowerPoint slides on the heat system it seemed really overwhelming. But it makes a lot more sense now because of this video.

Hello and Welcome! Never gets old

Characters like King II and Lee who can refill their heat gages during battle are crazy and scary. Heat will make Lee's just frame attacks automatically work but doing the Just Frame's with the right timing will refill the heat gage by quite a bit. King also has a unique just frame activation where he will hit the Pedigree

My only real problems with Heat are Heat Bursts having armor and Heat Smashes that leave you plus, in stance, and right in someone's face if they block it. Heat Bursts being safe, armored mids goes against what Tekken 7 established, in that armored mids are always unsafe, with two exceptions that are balanced out by being negative on hit. Heat Bursts being armored and plus on block means there's virtually no consequences for just throwing them out. Heat Smashes that leave in stance, plus, and in someone's face bothers me because while there were Rage Drives that were safe or plus, they all had pushback.

Thanks Roof! I've been watching my characters turn blue and run at each other but got no clue whats next

"Also while in heat." -Roofle. ;0

Online is great, and Lee is in. I'm enjoying the he'll outta it. Plus hits seem different this time around.

I'm loving this game! Heat mode is easy to use, but there's a lot to learn with each character. It makes diving into move sets and figuring out how they change while in heat a lot of fun.

Oh cool. I didn't know Xiaoyu would regain her heat like that. Thanks

Esoteric is currently the most popular word on earth.

Back at it again💪🏾 quick question- is the net code fine? I’m currently out of town so I haven’t been able to play t8 yet😤

You’re such a good teacher ! I play 300 hours of mk1 but itching for a new fighting game- get this now or wait for sale? Thanks 🙏

+17 50/50 every round is ridiculous

"It's hard to do". Has the gaull to say that after putting out 4 EWGF in a row while talking. What a god gamer.

I like it. Tekken 8 lower the floor by making some execution easier, but also at the same time making the ceiling higher. This heat stuff put more depth in the gameplay. People can counter plan by not doing what the game want you to do. You duck thinking im going to grab when king in heat? Nah im using all these meter for mids.

Thank you very much,but I got a question,for example devilster is a jin main,when he is doing a combo,the opponent is not blown away and he can make his combo longer without having the issue of dropping the combo because the opponent was too much ejected.that oftenly happens to me when I land too much hits and idk why it happens to me,can you explain me please ?

Great guide, thanks 👍 I still think that Drive from SF6 is cooler but Heats fits Tekken reality perfectly.

When Kazuya is in special controls, every wind god fist is electric. God bless

Some like it hot, but some sweat when the Heat is on.

What do you mean by activated by “one, two”? I don’t get it?

Getting my ass kicked but having fun with Tekken 8 :)

I went into heat listening to Roofles voice. 🥵

I've wanted to know just a Raw heat activation for the longest

Heat smash and grab. Haha, that’s rich.

i play a ton of basically every other fighting game (besides nrs ones, just not a fan) and tekken is still so alien to me. it's like the dota of fighting games. but the thing is... its really fun to make reina do the electric slide, so i wanna learn. this is a big help!!

I hate the heat engager mechanic because when I do the move my by mistake and they block it, it still active

One question: on heat engage hit how is nothing guaranteed at +17? Jabs are 10 frames, why are they not guaranteed?

cause its meant to be a mixup, not a combo. +17 means they have to guess whatever you got coming.

Well if you face new players online most of the time they use the heat system just for the finisher. Kinda reminds me how drive impact is abused in the lower levels in SF6.

Anyone from the middle east how's your qeue time mines way too long don't know if it's just me
