What went wrong?
there was some corporate greed, but also the community are little bitches
>>698640992No Negan in base roster.
>>698640992Harada left all the work to murray
Clive Rosenblatt. Jewish character ruined everything.
Too many gimmicks and mechanicsIts tiresome
Excessive focus on flashiness and oppressive offense in the name of "streamlinng".
>>698640992they didn't bring back noctis
>>698640992they balanced the game for retards that can't into tekken in the name of "aggressiveness"
>50/50 heat attack>one button heat smash>mandatory heat mode linked to basic movesAll this in every single round.
MK guest should have gotten in before Clive. Imagine if Scorpion was hired by Jun to save Kazuya in the story mode.
>>698640992Literally everything. Its all ass. The only good thing going on with Tekken 8 was the DJ mix they made at twt finals.
I praise them for making a more INTERESTING game than Tekken 7 but Tekken 8 as a fighting game is way too consumed by its low bar of entry.
seems to be doing fine for a dead as fuck genre that's poison to normalfags. Most fighting games can't even break 300 players.
people who never touched tekken before 8 can just pick up King or Jin and get to high ranks without having any fundamentals whatsoever
>>698641487Mate the days of needing fundamentals in fighters is over.
>>698641518which is why nobody actually enjoys playing tekken 8 or SF6
>>698641561japs enjoy playing sf6 because their favorite vtuber told them to
>>698641487I actually feel guilty for being a Jin main, despite it being over 10 years of character loyalty at work.
Harada. Man is a bonafide retard.
>>698641581ya because these games were made purely to be watched instead of actually being played
The vengeful spirit of Soul Calibur has risen from the grave to take its vengeance on Harada for his neglect.
>>698640992Bad faith DLCHarada being a fucking obnoxious contrarian
Nothing. Player base is stable and large enough to find games at any time. Heat is cool. The game looks good and is fun. And each update has done nothing but improve the game.
>>698640992>You know, the damage in Tekken 7 was a bit silly. We should tone it down>Doesn't even bother to tone down the damage, increases the damage at walls, and adds even more ways to get damage offThis is unironically how the development process went.
>>698641592Jin basically just kept getting buffed from his worst game (Tekken 5) until present day where they barely nerfed his 7 version who could do everything then added new silly stuff. Don't worry too much about it
she saved tekken
>>698642135my queen..
>>698641960Based
>>698642156...is called Nina
>>698640992HeatNot just flat out replacing Rage Art with Rage DriveRemoving Rage Drive entirelyEvery single character is a rushdown casino personContinuing to do Final Fantasy crossoversThe roster in generalThe soundtrack is ass, not a single memorable trackCustomization is STILL dogshitBut there's a cash shop for cosmeticsBattlepassIncredibly dogshit battlepassIt's so ass holy fuckStory is still all over the fucking placeTekken Force is in but only for a single levelPlus some other shit I'm not gonna type out because you get the point
>>698642063Actually 7 had a couple of nerfs I disagreed with (while having some I did).8 over-tuned him, though (like CH f+4 should have been easier than season 3 of 7 but not THIS easy).
>>698642179>hagno thanks
Animeslop the fighting game. Only Guilty Gear come close to match Tekken at this.
>>698641341They basically did
>>698642135
>>698642183>Continuing to do Final Fantasy crossoversthe fact they're considering doing ANOTHER one just fills me dread
>>698642183>The soundtrack is ass, not a single memorable trackLook, I agree with you on many points, but this is really just a problem with your music taste. I got several tracks downloaded for listening every day, with my favorite being both versions of Rebel Hangar, Genmaji Temple, and climax of Elegant Palace.
s1 balance is trashotherwise it's fun
>>698642450Harada needs the Inafune treatment>>698642573I will give you Temple (I forgot about it because I DON'T PAY FOR FUCKING STAGES), but the only way those others are memorable to you is if you haven't ever listened to a soundtrack from a previous game.
>>698642183don't forget those faggots went around killing mods and doing takedowns for even mod showcase vids on yt
>>698642573NTA but I liked some of the story OST, too. Shame they're not on the jukebox.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inf6Nir9NJc
>>698642693I've been playing Tekken since the first one, and have bunch of tracks from T5 and Tag2 on my playlist. I've seen other people praise certain tracks from T8, so you just have to accept your opinion is not a fact.
>>698640992Roster. Everyone's costume is terrible except Hwoarang's. DLC characters from last game are DLC characters again. Honor Heihachi's legacy by replacing him with a spunky girl and then invalidate her immediately by selling Heihachi back to us. I don't even care about gameplay because Tekken's combat sucks. "dude I'm going to jab you to death and then do unreactable lows. good luck"
>>698642135built for Hwoarang
>>698642979That's not a picture of Jin.
People are only annoyed because they have no alternatives to play. If SC and VF were still alive people would be much more positive about T8.
>>698643049they're both Jinsexual but they both aren't getting Jin so the next best thing is each other
>Worst Tekken since 4How fitting. A shame the story, music and character design is not here to carry this title though, unlike 4.
>>698643137hwoarang would never touch a woman
Nothing. It's pure kino
>go out of your way to create a mechanic that gets to ignore everything and act as a nuke win button that does massive damage, activates stage gimmicks and gives free mixups on block>hyper focus on making everyone absolutely miserable to fight with your new philosophy that stance rushdown is what players wanted>most players hate the game and only stick around due to addiction
>>698643254tanned 'Ka is pure sex
>>698641518The next VF will bring it back, don't you worry
>>698642135love Reina simple as
>>698643348Yo wtf is it with nip devs and censoring bikini bottoms LMFAO
>>698643137Hwoarang was already making plans on getting Jin through his "sister", too bad Jin doesn't even notice Asuka exists.
is coffee good for you
>scrub gameplay for empath neurotypical low inhibition normies, with high variance>bloated movelists>bloated roster (should’ve started with 20 characters max) not 35 characters like I have the time to lab so many moves just to play the game it’s straight up dehumanizing to have to play or lab so much just to not get fraudedThey did a few good things like nerfing snake edge and throws
>>698643451this thread is full of greenies
>>698640992>Miguel didn't make it in the base game or as dlc>Negan is never coming backThat's why I stopped playing it, but Clive is so brain dead fun I picked it back up.https://files.catbox.moe/w6urrr.mp4
>>698643348>Didn't change her dog shit hairstyle and remove the ugly highlights
>>698640992They made Law about 100 lbs heavier. As soon as I saw how ugly he looked I had a pit in my stomach. Then I saw Heat and it was solidified-- I'm just not getting it. Have owned every other Tekken until this. Soul Calibur shouldnt have been the one to die.
>>698642135>png.この馬鹿ぁ、私が後悔させてやろうぜ
>>698640992I would be playing if my shit pc could run it
game's a joke now. any flowchart scrub can hit god rank. what's the point?
>>698645616they could since temu7
>>698645641only since s4
>>698642370walmart noctis doesn't count
>>698645616Post your rank.
>>698645759GoD LeeEmperor Eddy
>>698645916Now how about you post an in-game screenshot as proof. Let's say, in Coliseum, at the wall, jumping.
>>698640992feedback was non existent and apparently theres a forced positivity around harada which if u dont agree with it u will get blacklisted from future bandai namco projects not just tekken this is why some streamers/content creators are not voicing their opinion that much and also you can see on twitter whenever harada posts something theres always people yes man'ing but if u go against his narrative you will have hundreds of those faggots on your assnew changes are so dogshit sure 7 had noctis, geese and akuma but id rather go back and deal with them instead of dealing with this bullshit of heat smash heat engage whatever the fuck, harada and michael murray should stay away from tekken 9 if we ever get it oh yeah also pic related
Tekken has always been bad and until strive: baby's first fighting game.
>losing to panic rage arts>losing to spam lows all the time>game eats inputs and fails to low block onlineyes im fucking seething, what character should i play for this feel???
>>698646341>and until strive: baby's first fighting game.That was blazblue, now it's granblue.
>>698640992Rooster gayness and flashy anime movesets eating away at the aesthetics of the series for years.Having to borrow 2D mechanics for innovation like meter while de-emphasizing 3D mechanics like sidestepsStory going completely into the gutter to straight up joke territory when it could at least just be nonsensical but cool like older entriesMonetization and season passes killing all semblance of getting a complete game or a stable meta
>>698642183Heat bullshit aside, which I agree ruined the game, getting rid of Rage Drive (which most people loved) and keeping Rage Art (which everyone with skill hates) really encapsulates just how clueless they are.
>>698648603I didn't "love" a mechanic which boiled down to a plus on block launching comeback tool, speak for yourself.
>>698648681That's why I said the word "most" and regardless of whether you liked it or not it was a 100x better mechanic than le ebin 30 second armored cinematic rage art.
Best fighter on the market by far. Bravo Mike. Bravo Harada.
>>698643119This. Once VF5 releases on Steam, people are going to appreciate how good Tekken actually is compared to every other 3D fighter.
>>698640992Tekken was never good
>>698648059>while de-emphasizing 3D mechanics like sidestepsyou shouldn't post before learning the game properly bro
>>698649297Movement has been crap after 5 and movesets track way too much
>>698648742rage arts were better since they actually have a risk/reward mechanic to them instead of being a free +100 ob launcher, only red rank retards preferred rage drives to rage arts
>>698649404>Movement has been crap after 5you need to stop exposing yourself
>>698649745>no u
>>698641359/thread
>>698640992all the stuff tekken 7 did wrong it doubled down on, and everything it did right was just legacy stuff that was fucked even harder than T7 fucked it.
Tekken 8 is a great game, and the season 2 balance will make it the best fighting game by a large margin.
>>698653083>my first fighting game btw
>>698653498I made a joke, no need to insult me like that anon.
>>698640992This being my first Tekken since 5, the heat modes are fucking stupid. I get the heat moves existing as a byproduct of the x factor bullshit from MVC3, but putting actual moves and bonus effects behind it feels retarded. Shouldn't be punished for kicking someone's ass.
>>698640992More Tekken 7 but with even shittier mtx.
>>698640992Tekken 6
>>698640992I like it.The community are parroting problems and don’t really know what the problem actually is. It’s fucking sad.
>>698656784ok Murray
>>698654859This is how i feel about it too but my last Tekken before 8 was TTT2.
I bought Tekken 8 on sale, but haven't played it yet. What universal moves, mechanics, or situations do I need to learn to understand the game. I have experience with 2D, but I have no idea wtf is going on when watching T8 matches.
>>698640992tried to appeal to casuals, ruined the game for veterans5050 rushdown dogshit
>>698657783Jus b yourself :)
>>698657871Good. Veterans ruin the game for everyone else.Who cares about 100 elite players when you can cater to 1million casuals who know how to have fun
>>698657783Just throw out your strongest moves and hope it hits
>>698640992a mystery
>>698657783jab is op
>>698658230cute temu4 revisionism btw
>>698641487Is King really a "pick up and win" character?
>>698642135She is just so boring, there is not a single interesting thing about her.
>>698659821she has Nobara's VA
>>698659607on low to intermediate level yeah, your char choice isn't that important at first anyway, your losses will come from your own mistakes and not your character's faults
>>698658230one is better to playthe other is better watched on a twitch live stream
>>698640992I've had it for a month and I'm in eliminatorWhen do I stop having fun?I play Lili btw
style over substance.not even worth a pirate with coomer mods.
>>698660569>When do I stop having fun?Once you realize the game is nothing but a casino
>>698640992>le capitalismus badWOKKEN 8
>>698642135>Be Heihachi Mishima, a man who imprisoned his father under a temple and left him to starve so you can get his company>Kill wife because because she transformed into a devil and tried to kill you>Worried your son has the devil gene too so you throw him off a cliff>Kill Hachijo clan in retaliation yet spare one child for no reason at all>Child becomes an adult and you impregnate her despite this contradicting everything you did before>Your daughter has to activate her devil gene for your plan even though you could always have done the same with Kazuya and Jin back in the day if you just werent a complete asshole to them
>>698660139So why is her voice boring?
>>698660790What exactly is his plan for Reina?
>>698642135>>698642156>>698642426>>698643348>>698659821She's half Filipino btw.
>>698640992Fighters as a service was a massive mistake, especially when so thinly veiled in big time greed.Namco have been the fucking worst they've ever been this year and people everywhere have allowed them to get away with it.
>>698660569when you hit ranks where people know how to abuse their character a bit
