People who say the game is fine just play the top characters and do well. There’s skill in some aspects but the lack of character diversity says a lot about the games current state. People are adapting by just picking the same 10 characters and saying “I finally leveled up after switching characters” Yea the top 10 characters have a better time winning = more fun. As long as you just remain a “yes man(woman)” about the games current state nothing will change. The rest of us are just left getting pelted by the top tiers in the name of the grind. The game is a mess…

Tekken 8 is raising the bar with the scrub-fest

i strongly disagree that the end of tekken 7 was better than the beginning, and i think most high-tier players will agree if they're being honest about the balance and skill expression. with the exception of akuma (especially the fact that he was underexplored at the time), the character balance was the best in season 1. season 2 is my personal peak for tekken 7, even though it was a lot wackier with the balance due to geese, i thought the way he was implemented was done so well i can forgive affecting the balance. but beyond season 2 it got increasingly trashy. wall bounces were added after namco had identified that players had too much combo and wall damage... so they added a mechanic that allowed even more damage in some situations. kunimitsu's entire design was a testing grounds for the system mechanics in tekken 8. long-range, canned approaches with 50/50 (heat dash), reversal power crush, projectiles, and everything is a built-in guessing game. either way, i actually loved tekken 7 at release. i've actually played all the non-tag tekkens since tekken 2. but, i have avoided buying tekken 8 as i saw the writing on the wall, and from what i've seen and been told by my friends, it's worse than i even feared. several of my friends have gone back to tekken 7 already and don't even boot up 8 anymore.

damn thats wild. Idk outside balance I personally liked the end of Tekken 7 but I see your points and appreciate them.

They haven't abandoned their core fanbase but they have devalued high level play. What would be considered intermediate play in past tekkens (rush down and mix ups) would have gotten you killed against someone who knew what they were doing. That style of play is now optimal in t8 because it forces people to hold unsteppable mix ups, guessing is inevitable in those situations and often you can die while having a massive lead for two wrong guesses while the opponent has heat. All of this means defensive play and patience (which is much more difficult than offence) is just too risky, game knowledge and experience doesnt carry you as far as it once did because you're risking a lot on a duck due to heat engagers. Overall this reduces the skill ceiling of the game and will lead to a lot of people getting bored, part of tekken's main appeal to anyone who treats it as a hobby rather than a casual game is the sheer amount of time it takes to get even halfway good.

In my opinion, if they treated Heat like an actual super meter, and made you build it up over the match, the game would be better.

Facts

I think it’s relevant to bring up what season 2 in Tekken 7 did to ranked. Mfs I know stuck in green made it to ruler overnight. And since then I’ve lost faith in rank being even close to a representation of skill. Any mf who grinds hard enough can get to high ranks on cheese alone (especially in this game)

Yes, for new players who spend money like crazy

so the level, i started with tekken 7, and i cared about it pretty deeply, but eventually i no longer found it rewarding to continue learning it. I would say that tekken 8's design ethos was actually telegraphed in tekken 7, but tekken 8 took it a step further. t7 Every character was getting their wall pressure improved, getting mid options added to their mid-high/high-high strings, buffing the tracking properties on so many moves, getting stronger combos and corner carry, ADDING JULIA. My issue is that damage was very high and rushdown was very good, and then in each update they just made rushdown even better and damage even higher. Now we have tekken 8, the game is exciting, but i would rather compete in almost any other fighting game LOL

last video ima click on like this, cause im tired of hearing all this "i was the best at t7, so this NEW GAME should be exactly like the old game, but even MORE slowed down (cause i like to block uwu)" cope, seethe, mald. im watchin twitch weeklies where everyone is really having a blast competing with the game. "oh hes been playin tekken since 1873 he knows what hes saying when he says the mechanics are trash" oh okay so when i watch absolute savages in weeklies expertly playing tekken EIGHT who are NOT complaining about this stuff, that their opinion is invalid because its the opposite and they havent been playing tekken since the great depression? anyway. ima keep having fun with this game.

For me, it's just the usual behavior that you tend to see once the Honeymoon Phase comes to an end, tbh

it happened in SF6 as well, the honeymoon phase ends and people complain about drive rush and perfect parry. As much as it is oppressive having the offense be this strong rn, I do appreciate when fighting games let the meta simmer and not change it every few weeks because people are complaining. Exceptions to this are game breaking stuff that should be hotfixed asap. Fighting games have forever been the type of game not to release fixes and balance patches for years, patches were non-existent and you have to wait for the super or ultimate version with the balance patch. I think mindset has shifted though to more frequent patches now that it is possible to do so, but I'm not sure it's all that healthy or interesting if the game changes so often (imo).

i've been watching a lot of gameplay on youtube, and a lot of new players who clearly casual playing but i do see them with really high ranks.. even Raijin. the reason for that is because T8 just isn't the same as T7 when it comes to rank points. in T7, if you have a huge rank difference, its just equivalent to getting no points between both players. but not in T8. And with that, combined with the bloat of casual players, just imagine what happens when casual players just keep running into each other. They are definitely ranking up, no problem, a Raijin rank can rank up with a Warrior rank..

Yes, but they've been doing that since Tekken 6 when they betrayed the loyal fans who bought an expensive PS3 only to release it on Xbox. Not only that but releasing trash characters like Lards, Bob, Leo, Alyssa and we can even go back to DR with Lili. Final Fantasy characters that are not martial artist and don't belong in Tekken. They've been trying to go mainstream for so long and they've sacrificed the integrity of the game. Dumbing the game down. "This ain't Tekken 7, it's a new game, you have to adapt." Scrub take. It should still be Tekken. Not Marvel vs Capcom Lite. When both pros and mid level legacy players are complaining, somethings wrong.

8:08 They are exaggerating, but this is not what that means. When people say that low rank players are now blue ranks etc. they are referring to the fluff that this game offers. i.e. The no demotion below green + the fact that when you get demoted, you only lose points for the match and you don't actually reset the rank you got demoted to.

There's no exaggeration. Most rulers and blue ranks wouldn't be higher than warrior in Tekken 7. Green rank was the rank with most players in Tekken 7. Red ranks HAD the most players a month ago. Now most of those red ranks are rulers and blue ranks. So yes, green ranks are indeed rulers and blue ranks. I've played many of those. They have zero fundamentals and get entirely carried by strings, gimmicks and flowcharts with 30 to 50 defense. I don't play ranked so I'm ruler after 60 matches. I stick to quick play where people aren't as cancerous and don't use top tiers all the time. And my god, I find so many ruler and blue rank scrubs. In Tekken 7, ruler ranks meant you were in the top 1%. In Tekken 8 ruler is like 30%. And all the rulers in Tekken 7 are god of destruction or at least Tekken god in Tekken 8. Rank inflation is real. And they started it with Tekken 7 as well. In Tekken 7 for the first years, red ranks mean you were fkn GOOD. Most players would get stuck at brawler. Above average players were stuck at warrior and MAYBE get to destroyer. Pro players had trouble getting out of blue ranks. Only the very best were Tekken god prime

I started playing Tekken 7 several months before T8 came out so I could get me feet wet and understand some of the fundamentals of the game. I didn't even make it that high in ranked at all because I was still learning the game. I can definitely feel the aggressive lean of T8, but I've run into people who make an effort to play good defense too. I still ran into players in T7 where defense was non existent ans just played offense. People are going to lean to the strengths of T8 and play more offense. It is what it is. I've seen offensive minded players in T7 and defensive minded players in T8. I personally don't think you're forced into offense focused gameplay

They are pushing offense but defence is gone. T7 was a perfect balance of offense and defense that's why it stayed so long without having much of a content.

@sayedomairsiam6344 Defense was way overturned in tekken 7, which is why players spent most of the game backdashing away because it was too disadvantageous to attack first. In T8 they fixed that by lowering the risk to attack. Low parries no longer give extended combos, they reduced the effectiveness of counter hit launchers, buffed throws so that they aren't completely useless, and added chip to reward attacking for both players, either taking health or getting it back. The only thing offensively oppressive is heat, and it was designed to be. If they just lessened the tracking on heat smashes, giving them risk to use, it would be a perfectly balanced game. I mean in theory you can stuff them with jab just like rage drives, but the risk reward is too highly in favor of the attacker.

That said, I feel like those of us who have been around longer have a unique position in this debate. Some of y'all will truly never know just how fun Tekken used to be. When movement was prioritized over 50/50's, you had a game that was not only more intuitive, but more rewarding. It's a shame there's no active scene for T5DR. It's by far the best Tekken has ever felt, and probably will ever feel.

That's not really the point. Compare to Tekken 7, Tekken 8 was a big deviation. And change for the sake of change is not the issue. Unhinged/ too much change is the issue. From Tekken 6 to Tekken 7 we went two steps up to something different. From Tekken 7 to Tekken 8 we went an entire staircase. The game now is just dumbed down, simple. Elo system boost players to blue, less punishing for playing badly (heat burst, rage art, comeback tools), legit casino style of 50/50s, Playstyles that used to have a lot of variety in the previous entries are now just mostly gone; less important. Aggression is the only thing that really matters. For perspective, people in Tekken 7 who mash brainlessly usually gets stuck at orange-Red ranks. Those who mash intelligently get stuck at purple ranks. Now In Tekken 8, with some characters, people can mash brainlessly straight to blue ranks.

People need to get used to what the game is. As long as they figure out the balancing in the long run everything is fine. If you are a defensively heavy player then you have some huge adjusting to do. Defensive strategies are there and I think they'll come to light when they balance out some of the heat moves and overpowered characters.

I'm definetly enjoying the game. In fact, Tekken 8 is the most fun I've had with any fighting game ever! Yeah, some characters are truly badly balanced (Feng, Dragunov, King, Azucena etc.) but they can be nerfed. And some characters truly needs buff. But also with the new matching system, the Prowess, I'm meetng far more people at my own skill-level than before. Not a Tekken God on his 5th character who obviously knows more Tekken.

Yes! 3 of my friends finally started playing Tekken with me. They love it and are now taking it seriously.

It's garbage

No they are not it's still Tekken you literally just have to get better than you were in 7 ppl are just lazy af

Tekken 8 is baller, having aggression-based gameplay is a good thing in my book. Oldhead players hate change, that's on them.

Tekken has been played a variety of ways in the past, INCLUDING aggressive styles. 80% of T7 players mash all day anyway. But now the game actively punishes you for being patient, which forces an aggressive playstyle on everyone, even characters that don't benefit much from aggression mechanics.

Ive made this point on few other channels, begging Tekken 8 to be Tekken 4 or 5 or 7 isn't logical. If you miss the old game play, go play those games. They still exists. This is the new direction they are going with, and it just the vanilla version. Im coming from the Tekken 2 arcade scene, none of this is Tekken to me but i enjoy it all none the less.
