We're going home, tekkenbros.Two more days and we're going home.
>>734998064I can't wait to be disappointed.
>>734998064They removed heat?
Finally, Back to Basics but nowhere near it.
>>734998064>>734998705>>734998963QRD? Did they remove stuff and make it simpler?
>>734999079They're actually tripling down with the mechanics
>heatless rageless powercrushless tekken 3-4-5 like mode A man can dream
I'm fine with heat, but heat + Rage is too much
They should have added Raiden and Mistral
NERF DEVIL JIN
>no Julia>no Josieit's over
>>734998064More high quality Lili porn and mods yes!?
>>734998064this shit is unsalvageable
Haven played since tag. Pretty cool of Brian cox to promote the game
>>734998064nothing will change >“Refined Balance” and “Back to Basics.” do not denote a return to earlier TEKKEN battle systems, nor do they imply drastic, comprehensive changes introduced in a single update.>“Refined Balance” and “Back to Basics” aren’t final goals—they’re simply principles that help guide the team in evaluating issues and deciding how to adjust the game moving forward.>“Refined Balance” reflects a phased and measured approach to adjustment—making incremental refinements rather than rebuilding systems in a single step—while maintaining the core mechanics of TEKKEN 8.they're doing small adjustments like removal of wall splat after a heat smash, and removal of powerup activation when heat ends if heat is what activated that power up>“Back to Basics” establishes the criteria for assessment: whether exchanges of offense and defense function appropriately, whether defensive and evasive decisions are reflected accurately in outcomes, and whether individual errors produce disproportionately large consequences.this is literally what they've already been doing in previous updatesNOTHING WILL CHANGE
>>735008460All they need to do it make a commitment to remove Rage Arts and Heat, what the hell is wrong with them?
>>734999204Is the movement still dogshit? Also fuck you, fuck tekken 8
>>735008460Harada left the project. tekken will never be good again , he was the one that stood against the kikes and the jeets.Tekken will always be shit from now on.
>>735010197They're not going to remove Rage after going to the bother of making a Rage Art animation for every character in the game and they're not going to remove Heat, the new mechanic they marketed the whole game around. I'm not saying they're good mechanics, but even if they were being completely sincere about wanting to go 'back to basics' and were looking into ways to do that, it would still be non-negotiable that it would be 'back to basics (but with Heat and Rage)'.It's not even worth considering the possibility that those mechanics would be flat out removed until Tekken 9. If they want to improve Tekken 8 they need to find ways to tone down Heat in particular, but they're not going to remove it under any circumstances.
>>734998064Fightan fags are more excited for thier next $60 season pass instead of playing the game now lol
>>735008460crazy that they were willing to turn the game upside down on its own head in less than a year for season 2 and then just left the game in a shit state forever, only to not be willing to make drastic changes for S3 despite the mountains of feedbackI understand that they can't exactly pull out all the main mechanics of the game and just turn the game into a new thing when a lot of the garbage WAS the sales pitch to the casual audience, removing heat would be like removing Ultras out of SF4. It can be fixed like any other garbage fighting game, it just depends on whether the devs are smart enough to do it properly
If you want to target the casual audience, how about putting in some decent game modes?Tekken 8 has nothing outside of Ranked/Quick-Play to do
>>735011461but anon there's>story (short and shit)>tekken ball i guess>lobbies that nobody uses
>>734998705>>734999079>>735000583>>735010197they're not removing the core fundamental mechanic of tekken 8, you retards. idk why so many people keep assuming that. must be all the illiterate shitskins that play this game

>back to basics>pops heat on round startXD
>>735011579>REEEEAh that's right. Enjoy your dead community.
>>734998064>boring at breakneck speeds
>>734998064I just want a bit of dynamism and interaction back95% of the time you're either doing a combo, eating a combo, blocking heat mashers at the wall, or spazzing back and forth waiting for the other guy to fuck upSadly I don't expect the changes to be for the better after they straight up lied to us about season 2
Have they said exactly what is going to change in S3?
>>735011936no more heatsmash wall-splat. that's about it.
>>735011936Only things confirmed so far is no wall splatting heat smashes (hopefully no combo extensions at all) and unique character powerups will go away when heat ends instead of persisting
>>735011936yes, nothing
>>734998705What makes heat so bad?
reminder that even with t8 in its current abysmal state, sf6 is still worsefighting games are fucked
>>735012543>sf6 is still worseNo it isn't, they didn't gave Zangief a teleport or Ryu a command grab like they're doing with all Tekken characters since T7, nice try though
>>735012114>hopefully no combo extensions at allthat's gonna be a hard thing to remove, considering each character has at least 2-3 moves that aren't all that great on their own or mid combos, but are great combo extensions, which means that to remove combo extensions they'd have to either remove such moves, or change their damage outputs, knock back, and frames to become useful normally, and that would in turn result in having to overhaul the entire move list of all characters to rebalance the issues these moves would bring with these changes, and thats a HUGE undertaking that would actually drastically change how the game plays, and we all know they're not gonna do that, especially not when they have specified they arent going to implement drastic changes
>>735012651I mean no combo extensions for heat smashes
>>735012485It overtunes characters that they're already gradually removing legacy weaknesses since Tekken 6, thus making the entire roster miserable to play against. On top of implementing SF5/Soulcalibur shit in the game
>>735012485It turns everyone into a plus frame monster in a game already abundant with plus frames, so there's not much you can do against them except block or parry because sidesteps are almost useless due to a ton of moves and strings having trackingIt's not as bad as it sounds, you can deal with it, it just makes the game very one-dimensional while it's active
>>735012485Combo length mainly.It was an oversight in the core gameplay and can't really be fixed, otherwise it's fine and the problems in season 2 (chip damage and insane health regen when in heat) have been scaled and fixed.7 made you choose between using a rage art or using a rage drive that extended your combo to have a second corkscrew attack. Tekken 8 not only allows for double cork screws but for heat to continue a combo that was about to end as well as consistent wall comboing ontop of that.So combos take way too long and used to have a bad combo damage issue (which has fixed)Solutions to this aren't easy. This is a core oversight. I wouldn't recommend a new mechanic until 9 (such as a defensive option when being comboed after in the 2nd corkscrew or pushing off a wall to stop wall combos), something like unpredictability in how the person being comboed will land is a double edged sword and they've maximized how much they can do this in recent updates (makes skilled players feel punished for labbing). They have done as much as they cant without adding a new combo breaking mechanic.It's honestly a perfectly fine mechanic, the issue is they fucked up so bad in season 2 they ruined the mechanics reputation.Never forget how much everyone loved season 1 and only high level players had valid complaints.
>>735013232Pair that mod with OsiruB nud body mod for perfection
>>734999079I think that they have lowered the simplicity level as low as it can go without breaking core mechanics and yeah I'm not a fan but it's not the worse.>They need to stop the 1 button masher combos for DLC characters.>They need to allow for strings to be tied to the limb corresponding to the next move and not oversimplify it.>The auto combo system is trash and they should go back to the 7 system that let you have a 1 frame delay for an easy input for a single special move.
>>735013643>Never forget how much everyone loved season 1 and only high level players had valid complaintsKek delusional. The game was already being shat on during the CNT.
>rank reset right as I'm about to hit GoDI'm mad
>>735011579>idk why so many people keep assuming thatbecause everyone hates this fucking game
>>735011936With the trailer footage, new extensions to moves that wallsplat mid-screen e.g. Kazuya's 112 gets a laser extension. Truly, our basics are back.
>>735014067>The auto combo system is trashwhat the special mode?
