PEOPLE ARE GIVING UP ON TEKKEN 8! 

We can also blame Murray for a lot of characters not returning to the base roster, all that was Murray’s fault as well 💯

Wow yall.. pls calm tf down and dont ask me for sxxt 😢

How would you buff defensive characters in this game ? It's no secret that defensive playstyle/characters are lackluster compared to rush down characters since the system heavily favors the latter and Namco's expectations of playing a defensive character like rushdown/mixup character is just absurd.

@@PK-ow1kj buffing backdash would be a step, it would nullify a lot of situations of being put in a 50/50.

You just have to use power crush more. When I started using RA's more and power crush more I have had more success. I'm an old school player so I never use power crush and only RA in combos to look flashy to end round. Now I don't care. My power crush is only -13 with push back and gets powered if you attack me making it completely safe lol So my i17 frame knock down mid power crush with Leroy is at times maybe his best mid. He doesn't even have a mid that knocks down safely his power crush and I'm still at -13 so Leroy needs his power crush like a regular mid

Defense will definitely get you beat in this game, the defense is the Rage Arts and the Heat smashers and the power crushes.

@PK-ow1kj for 1 nerf strings. Get rid of the seemingly infinite plus frames some characters have. Also no string should be a heat engager. Another thing some characters have way tomuch avoidance built into their stings. While others have zero and have to rely on purposeful back dashing and side stepping to avoid moves. Like I've said before string are way to strong in this game. Sure theirs always counter play but but when on defense I feel like I'm always on the back foot fighting for my life. Another thing they could do is give blocked unsafe strings less pushback. If my opponent does a -9 string I want them right in my face. Not knocked so far back 90% of my moves whiff.

Best Tekken ever. Infinite replay value and has everyone's main. Customization peaked right there too. Not to mention the custom soundtrack. Peak Tekken before the TikTokfied Tekken specially with basic throw escape.

How is the netcode on xbox? do you recommend the xbone or maybe series X/S? nobody is on the PS3 and the input delay is insane, like a full second.

I heard some players are still playing T7 till this day it's crazy.

@@jinpachichulo7561Finally someone who gets it!! TAG2 is PEAK TEKKEN, next only to Tekken 3.

​@@tablematts9055...oh Tekken 7 is still a masterpiece...that game took 11 years...11 years... to build a king size roster....the mechanics are so we'll balanced....Tekken 8 has still a few years to reach that status...Tekken 7 has literally spanned the life of ps4..

Go play 5DR then boomer. Mad cuz bad bet you can't even get mighty ruler bro.

Brother u r not the only one who feels that way, ive been a tekken player since T3 and we used to play high level tekken and really high execution and when this shithole t8 came out it took us only 1 months to quit. I hope this game dies soon so they learn to get back to their roots. Tekken 7 is the greatest fighting game of all time it just needed some balancing.

"fix" the heat system?! GET RID OF IT COMPLETELY.

Yes, and I want and do believe that Tekken 8 will break that pattern. Harada and the team are being arrogant but I feel the minor tweaks I hope they'll make will be just enough. The Heat System needs overhauling, the armoring when going in to Heat Engage is stupid and should be a launcher if activated while in open.

@@takeshinakamura4543 I hear you, but the heat system already made its mark. Taking it out would practically make the game a Tekken 7 demake. Personally, I believe Tekken should make some adjustments to the Heat System, then focus on buffing, nerfing, and polishing the characters. 1st off, the heat gauge shouldn’t be full at the beginning of the match. It is earned through dealing successful damage and receiving damage. Second, a defensive mechanic of the heat system is needed: Backfire/Heat Crush - While blocking, input the specified command, the player executes a reversal that deals gray damage. The meter of both players will be deleted by half. They should also bring the damn rage drives back 😡

@@KurohigeDTeach-yy3ykHard disagree. The features you're looking for are already present in a little game called Street Fighter. This is TEKKEN. It was about pure focus, discipline and martial arts based combos. Not some stupid 1 button hulk smash rage hulk heat cr** If you're an original fan of the series from the ps1-ps2 era (not tekken7), you would surely know what I'm talking about.

@@takeshinakamura4543 I feel your passion bro but take it easy! I didn't make the game, I come from the 90s too and instead of having demands to remove a mechanic that basically defined the game, I'm just sharing some ideas on how to balance out the heat system. Like I said, it's here to stay...fans are either going to adapt or drop the game from here on...

They should've made the Heat system optional like they Capcom did with SF Alpha where you can choose systems. Players should've been able to choose if they want to use heat or not.

Heat bar should be gained not instant use. it has to be filled like bar😅

For me it's the damn rage arts combos are already long enough so if some one continues to back dash and wait until you run up hit a combo into rage art it's damn near game over just have an option to take out rage arts and heat

​@@ShiningSparkL1n6naw then they'd have some characters can raise the bar faster then other characters ugh the spiral never ends lol they just need to go back to classic just fight no specials at all

to me the heat system just makes the whole match revolve around 50/50s and putting ppl into the blender. its easily abused

🤣🤣🤣that never gets old 🤣🤣💯💯

@@DeeallthewayG lmao

@@King0fS0RR0W9 I don’t like it either, that’s why I have the MAMBA mentality and try my hardest not to let those type of players win💯💯

I just hope it won't be any guest characters, The Heat system will make guest characters extremely overpowered. I hope Anna Williams is revealed after HeiHachi.

@@DeeallthewayG Me toooo, Anna all the way!

​@DeeallthewayG honestly im hoping for ogre

I hope its Lei ​@@DeeallthewayG

The second they add Marduk is the day this game dies surely, mark my words

@@PIQUE818 it just needs tweaking 💯💯

Yes tweaks, not a whole ass rework lol.

​@@DeeallthewayG or Murray and Harada stop tweaking

@@buckbreaker5185 🤣🤣, yeah they been trippin lately. Heihach’s reception could mean a lot for the future 💯💯

Tekken 7 was shit too. Rage Drive was just Heat-Lite. Tekken 5DR is where real Tekken shines. No comeback mechanics, no flashy combos. Just PURE FUNDAMENTALS

@@henryludvor6275 Tekken 7 was shit? You are in the extreme minority

@@straightlead8tekken 7 was shit on release

@@straightlead8 Tekken 7 was dumbed down too. Combos were easier with the corkscrew system, and power crushes existed to let you blow through attacks. Sidestepping was made weaker and throws easier to break as well. Tekken 5 required execution. The buffer window on punishes was smaller and you had to be much more precise with your inputs. Low Parries were precise but incredibly rewarding. Put in the time and learn fundamentals and be duly rewarded.

I finally got PSM account ban uplifted I can play Marvel VS Capcom. Now 💯💯

​@@DeeallthewayGYes indeed!

Tekken 6 doesn’t have servers lmao, is peer to peer connections, just like tekkken tag 2, tekken 7, and tekken 8.

Tekken 6 has bob too almost like characters are important

​@TK_Tazzkooler I played alot more when Bob is in the game.

at least you see it....most of these mofos delusional lmao

The Heat System is destroying it imo. We survived the Rage Arts in Tekken 7. They still work well in Tekken 8. But the Heat system and heat smashers are too much.

@@DeeallthewayG rage arts have no place in this game..not does heat..and the worse thing is it's every round not just one. It needs limits

I would turn off cross play. The Cheaters are mostly on PC and PS5.

@@DeeallthewayG i play without crossplay on ps5. I have to play tekken with my gameboy colour 😂

@@DeeallthewayGXbox dudes always plug

@@DeeallthewayG wait PS5 has cheaters? Or are they the rage quitters

Facts.

Yes, I agree. They should have gave us a option to use heat or not to use much like in Street Fighter Alpha.

That’s a cool idea. But players would have to relearn combos. I’m not sure how well that would go over. But yea, the heat system is dookie water

Tekken 8 will drain you, no doubt. A found myself falling asleep in front of the monitor because the game is so draining lol

I feel you on this, you can just feel the anger through the screen. Most people even quit in quick matches. It always starts fun until you meet that one person who's trying to annoy you for no reason.

I actually got plugged on in quick match against a yoshi and I thought ranked was bad

There are some plugging in quick because your prowess points still grows in quick match, I think that may be the reason why people are plugging in quick match. But it is shameful that it's happening in that mode where all you have to do is just play and have fun.

Yes, and he's going to be the most played and most overpowered and people will beg for him to get nerfed, which won't happen because he's a mishima.

@@King0fS0RR0W9 That’s exactly what it is, most of the characters are broken on purpose with bias💯💯

@@magicalsensation4600 Try Virtua Fighter bro💯💯

And the side stepping is completely out of control, I can't count on my hands how many times that I've tried to catch someone side stepping by faking them out and they still get away with a successful side step even though I baited them into doing it without making an action. I also noticed how inconsistent the power crushes are in the game as well, sometimes they go through heats and sometimes they get crushed by heats which is awkward asf.

I personally don’t like character interractions, above so many buggs that “rollback netcode” makes 100 times worse. There is a troubling imbalance, or shall I say, gamebreaking (for me) imbalabce between characters hitbox/hurtbox, I think too many characters have too big hitbox, and to add salt to the wound, they also deal too much damage. There is no room to breathe, oki is crazy, in some cases you can’t back up pn your feet, you’re launch back again or just die trying. I mean, I can go ON AND ON AND ON about 100 things why Tekken 8 isn’t fun. I could probably take the entire day. To sum it up. “Every character is on super steroids” Not fun. Not winning with, and especially not losing to that.

@@DeeallthewayG ive yet to see a standard powercrush beat a heat smash. burst i believe its the same rules as "who activated it last and armor lasts longer"

Tekken 6 was not a bad game at all...just overhated...it laid the basis for 7 in a way...

That's what's up, you'll have fun with the game trust me.

It's not too late to refund the 2nd one for a better game

@@b0ost3rz That’s how we want it bro💯💯

I still be forgetting about the prowess system. I honestly don't think that The Prowess system will return in the next Tekken Sequel.

Right on bro, That Battle pass stuff I just ignore it. I don't put no time into that mess.

@@rarerashad That’s not true, the game allows you believe that, but there really isn’t 💯💯

He got it form twitter itself, you can tell because his thread is full of people saying that they are either leaving Tekken 8 or taking a break. I know people have been saying they're gonna quit because of the my comment sections. So it is a true thing that people are saying it.

I disagree, it's the Heat System imo.

Is it for good?

@@DeeallthewayG I'mma be honest I had high hopes for this game but in comparison to sf6 and Mk1 it's now dead last in the big three

@@PIQUE818 MK1 is a trash can bro.

@@DeeallthewayGsf6 is actually not bad. I just really wanted to learn tekken badly cause I loved the new character Reina, but there’s so much wrong with the game that it just made me go “no”.

And the messed up Rank Point system is also causing the constant rage quitting as well.

Perfectly said bro💯💯

I understand bro, I can't tell you how many matches I 've lost because of the opponent just pressing one button and going into heat and getting off a everlasting combo to beat in a round that they didn't deserve to win. It's definitely stupid and cheap. I love the combo system but the heat makes the combo system embarrassing.

@@DeeallthewayG glad we see eye to eye with this Dee, one things for sure, even if I stop playing ima stay locked in with your content to see if anything Brings me back to it 💯

A master’s collection is long overdue to keep things fresh💯💯

THIS!!!! This is the only way the Tekken series gets saved. Exposing people to what REAL TEKKEN is all about. Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection is the peak of the franchise and has only gone downhill after that, and come Tekken 8 has completely fallen off the cliff.

And I honestly don’t want that to happen. We will never get the updates or the characters we won’t back if that happens 💯💯

​​​@@DeeallthewayG I think it will happen at some point. Tekken players are too negative.

It's hard not to when you get good at the game and understand

If used kazuya I would go to heat every chance I get lol💯💯

@@DeeallthewayG lmao true. He becomes a final boss for a bit

You definitely have a point, the Division makes me rage all of the time 🤣🤣

@@DeeallthewayG Indeed lol bad for mental health. We play games to have fun not to be more stressed xD

@@omegabossking exactly, I’m not sure if they can fix that aspect of Tekken 8. But making changes to the heat system would definitely help.

I think it’s absolutely fun imo bro💯💯

It is but frustrating AF at times . Lots of ungabunga characters. Even worse it has ungabunga characters that are really strong like Jin. Brain dead characters are fine but when you take a brain dead character and make him close to top 5 that's a step to far

@@ChrisM-wv4gs Lee Chaolan & Dragunov are prime examples 💯💯

@@DeeallthewayG agreed

Thank you bro, I really appreciate it. And I respect your comment. Everything was perfectly said💯💯

There's nothing redeemable about this game as long as heat exists. And since it's the game's literal core mechanic, it will never be good. I don't care if it becomes the most balanced Tekken ever, it will always be bad because heat exists. No amount of polish is going to change this turd (Tekken 8 and Heat) from being a turd. It's times like this I wish Tekken 8 got the Concord treatment.

@@smoothierip5693 In that case, let’s try Virtua Fighter bro💯💯

@@DeeallthewayG Nah ill just keep waiting until this game is completely dead so I can tell the T8 copers I told you so. I'd love to be proven wrong here, but this game will never outsell T7 as it stands despite what the copers believe. It's so bad i can't even watch my favorite pro's youtube clips or in tournament play, the casters have no clue what to commentate on because everything happens so fast. Game interrupting animations every 2 seconds and plus frames and defense mean basically nothing, everyone just spamming launchers and heat moves.

I totally understand bro

I definitely think you'll have way more fun with Black Myth Wukong

@@tehdog123 ignore the Tekken Shop bro, it’s a mental sabotage 💯💯

No, that's a bad idea. Rage Arts should keep the armor. remove the armor from the Heat Engage, that's the solution.

True. This scrubs wants us to think that players aren't playing T8 lmao. Git gud and adjust. But Characters really needs adjustments. But T8 is still thriving

I think the difference that people are being more vocal about it in Tekken 8 than in Tekken 7.

We can only hope, and hopefully they don't bring us any 2D guest characters. We want classic characters in Tekken 8 to return.

Leroy should have never existed especially with that OP parry bs he started off with

lol i don't think that's fair one character can't cause a franchise tilt imo lol

I'll believe that when it actually happens lol

I played 7, never even bought 8 because I didn't like the overall direction, so what makes you dislike it?

@@Tartersauce101 Lot of issues from Tekken 7, were just carried over to Tekken 8, and then all those bad “things” were souped up with steroids. Crushing, safe launchers, range, hitbox/hurbox buggs, overtuned frames, poor movement. Now one can argue that Tekken 8 movement is good, but here’s the problem, every single character in Tekken 8 has range to cover entire stage. So backdashing can get you clipped, you wouldn’t even understand how. Character interractions in many instances make no sense. And that’s a tip of the iceberg. I can go on and on and on. Overtuned range, hitbox/hurtbox imbalance and buggs, overtuned damage, overtuned crushing, Where in some cases + frames make no difference, with bad rollback netcode, that creates further hitbox/hurtbox/frames problems Okizeme, you can’t gett off the ground in many cases, one luanch can mean you lost the round, heat being visually noisy, or game entirely is visually noisy. Mids hitting you on the ground, that have no business doing so. Poor balance with settups frames. You can settup a situation, and opponent can just mash out of it, with poor netcode, you get robbed, infact, you can get robbed entire match, 3 rounds straigh. Counterhit moves give too much frame advantage, like don’t even move if you get ch, if it’s not already a launcher, he’s on +36 frame advantage, like why? Zafinas 1,4 punish, is +22 on hit, WHY? What are these frames? Yet your +5 mean jack shit cause hitbox/hurtbox imbalance is so bad, he can just evade it with something you’ve never seen before, and game allows it. I mean, I can go on and on and on and on 50/50 on steroids, everything is guessing, super stressfull and fristrating! Poor choice of tracking moves, why do safe launchers like df2, or hopkcick track both sides? Character example, Shaheen. Poor balance that needed emergency patch february imho. Left the game so broken, and they keep adding this “bug fixes” but nothings ever being fixed. One can argue about some tiny details that make no difference. Characters are too big, taking up too much screen. Add to that, poor ranked system, poor matchmaking, terrible prowess system, and bad netcode. No, player match is not good, here’s why. In player match, people use 1% of the thinking, they pop heat at start, try to bully you with it, even winning isn’t fun. Because you just beat up a clown who threw kitchen sinks at you, and? That’s not Tekken. Ok, not everyone wants to be serious, cool, but thats 99% of player match. At least in ranked, thinking part could be argued is at least on 10%. Still isn’r funn being steamrolled, OR steamrolling someone, cause that’s what “aggressive gameplay” comes down to. So that’s another HUGE MINUS! Ranked? Win/lose quitters, pluggers, and to add salt to the wound, take cheaters, super sophisticated scripts, with hard to spot lowblock/hrowbreak/ perfect frame interrupt/auto sidestep, launch. All of these issues, are just not worth the time. Now if you take into consideration, as to the pace at which these “balance” patches come out, it will take years for all of these issues to get fixed, and I wouldn’t hold my breath expecting it. So, all in all, game is not worth the time to anyone who’s even not as busy. I went back to playing World of Warcraft, and having a blast. Tekken 8 won’t last. Unless they release, some super major patch, fixing at least 60% of these issues, but again, I consider how they’ve done it in the past. I wouldn’t hold my breath. Best of luck to you!🙏

​@@Keelox100 I was so hyped for tekken 8, now I just feel robbed. Even winning doesn't feel satisfying most of the time.

​@Jin-gl5sh facts bro i feel like i have to succumb to the cheese way of winning like throwing out heat specials or rage arts because majority of the time you dont stand a chance by trying to play the traditional way, by spacing and proper punishing and pure movement, like yeh the game rewards but on a very small margin compared to what it used to. Now people can throw out moves from a far and fear zero repercussions.

@@brandonspringfield2861 What rank are you bro? I relate to this too, but I don't like to win like that so I just keep on playing defensive even tho it's not really what the game wants you to do... I'm beating GODS with those 50/50. Xd

The inputs are a problem, the game always says that I press rage art when I never did. I hope they fix that issue as well💯💯

@@DeeallthewayG Yea. I don't mind losing at all. I do mind button not registering and side step being a totally different on right side in online mode. The side is just weird. Too much tracking on moves.
