i dont trust game journalist with anything involving fighting games, would rather listen to max over someone from ign
>would rather listen to max
based d00d enjoyer
>i don’t trust game journalists
you should’ve just ended your post here
Max is even less trustworthy
>Max
>Anything non-related to Capcom
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I cant remember the last time Max genuinely critiqued a fighting game. Possibly MvCI. But I still think he was overall positive about it.
Not a fan of Max, but at least he has a general understanding of fighting games. These journos know literally frick all
Looks good to me. But I’m a tekken gay so whatever. Hope the music is good too.
It's gonna be the same wubstep shit its been since Tag 2. Tekken music hasn't been good since 6 and hasn't been great since 4.
Tag 2 had awesome music so ok.
Factual. Only Tekken 7's music was mostly mediocre.
>Tag 2 had awesome music so ok.
my man. 4 had the best music in the series. take me back
I cant decide between authentic sky and airport
Jin vs Kazuya vs Heihachi in Honmaru to this banger is top kino
music is actually good, use headphones
https://streamable.com/be008f
Tekken music is always inspired by whatever is popular at the time
What music is popular right now? I genuinely have no idea
>rap and k pop
Please no.
>Tekken music is always inspired by whatever is popular at the time
This was only ever the case for 3.
They're not going to tell me how effective sidesteps feel in this game compared to 7 or if moves like Paul's d/f+2 feel more fair. Pass.
Side steps are never going to be good again moron
enjoy playing T7 again
why even make a new game
for this
Pay more for less content, good goyim
Game already DOA holy frick
>rage arts are only -13 and not launch punishable
That's a stupid change, but...does that mean Kazuya's electric is now 14 frames at best?
Kazuyabros...I don't feel so good...
They probably didn't test electric and just went with general launchers
Last time I checked it's not humanely possible to punish a -13 move with PEWGF anyway.
Wouldn't that not make it a 13f move then?
Do you even play the game you loon? It comes out at 13 frames but you cannot input it fast enough to punish -13 moves.
…I not a loon 🙁
You are a loon. A loon and a nutter.
Hitting a d/f+2 on counter hit gives standing status for 13 frames from the point at which you gain control of Kazuya. If you cannot fit your EWGF in that space, you don't get a full launch. That means the execution time has to be 13 frames.
You can do it, but it is very very difficult
Can you start the input while you're still in hit stun or something?
It isn't bufferable so all the motions have to be frame perfect
If it comes out in 13 frames of course it's fricking possible to punish -13 with it
That's what coming out in 13 frames means
And yes it is possible to execute it because you can buffer the motion in your blockstun
>a literal v trigger plus all this
Crazy how much of a downgrade T8 is compared to T7 in terms of gameplay and on the other hand SF6 is a massive upgrade to SFV but Ganker only cares about muh culture war so they keep shilling this crap. You reactionary morons don't play fighting games.
no one has played T8 you fricking troglodyte
you can talk about muh culture war homosexualry all day, but that won’t make sf6 even slightly passable looking
You don't need to play the game to know that the changes are awful moron. Ever heard of a patch note?
You fricking loser
Lol
>no argument
yeah that's what i thought homosexual, go play the game you're shilling
Post your hours in any fighting game, anon. Or even just a screen cap of the ones you currently have on your system.
used to be a console pleb for a long time, I probably have at least another 500h on PS4 tekken 7
You're a real homie with a valid opinion, good for you - keep on keepin on
You're most likely the first person i replied to, since you have posted zero images the whole thread. Go outside and play fightan, virgin
>he can't defend the changes so he keeps baiting for something else to divert his argument
lol
Post playtime and highest online rank
Lmao. Screencapped for future "this is Ganker discussing fighting games" purposes
most people who grew up playing Tekken don't like Street Fighters zoning AOE watchama call it homosexualry to begin with
might as well play a fricking shmup
I...guess #6 sort of makes sense? They have almost no health anyway, they don't necessarily need to be launched but it does feel overly heavy-handed.
>wallbounces seem to no longer exist
>magic 4 no longer launches
lame but ok
>rage arts are only -13
>chip damage exists
ok NOW we have problem. i knew they aimed to make the game more casual to appeal to a larger audience, but this makes me mad. rage arts were a big enough scrub crutch as is and now it's an even bigger scrub crutch.
>magic 4 no longer launches
>lame but ok
enjoy getting people to mash at your face and guess right every time now instead of trying to shut them down with a move that can easily be ducked
So don't move to the new Tekken and continue playing the good ones?
but you homies told me it'd be a better fighter than SF6 because of the graphics...
tekken players are mashers with the top 0.1% being gods. don't take what they say seriously.
You can genuinely tell that those that are more upset that rage arts are no longer launch punishable than magic 4 not launching anymore can't play tekken to save their lives
Anyway, OC with Negan moveset when
Most of these changes are good besides rage arts being -13 and no magic 4, but they might give other fast move ch properties like king's b1.
did rage arts get a big damage nerf to where it wouldn't matter if they were safer?
>but they might give other fast move ch properties like king's b1.
?t=760
enjoy getting mashed on without doing anything to make them stop being morons
You can use a fast string, something like kazuya 1,1,2 , to stop mashers
>removing wall bounce
>good
That with all of the others cancels and wall shenanigans would lead to some fricked up combos
Literally yes, worse thing added by the updates to t7
>no more counterpicking infinite azure or howard estate for half the cast
Thank fricking christ
SFVI won.
>running tackles no longer exist
complete meme shit nobody used
>forward into hold forward makes you run
like it already did?
>wallbounces seem to no longer exist
thank frick
>get up kicks no longer knockdown
morons will think that makes them worse
>magic 4 no longer launches
judging by the previews characters will just have more specific bullshit CH launchers
>rage arts are only -13
rage drives being removed means rage lost utility and needed something
Does that mean high rage arts don't exist?
>low parries no longer give combos
thank frick
>chip damage exists
you can't complain this while jerking off SF6
sf6 doesn't even have chip damage you mong
it eats your meter instead (even normals do that)
once your meter reaches 0 then you will take chip
Normals don't chip your health bar in sf6, only specials. You're thinking of SFV.
>forward into hold forward makes you run
>like it already did?
unplayer detected.
>low parries no longer give combos
>thank frick
unplayer detected
Nobody likes low parries randomly leading to 30-50% combos that shit is for scrubs to mash d/b with and feel good about themselves
You're the fricking unplayer if you think anybody likes low parries leading to 30-40% damage combos with wall carry.
>judging by the previews characters will just have more specific bullshit CH launchers actual fricking copium. king b1 already no longer launches in the preview. offense in this game is going to be fricking braindead.
just use your powercrush to take your turn
Literally one of the first bits of content we saw had wall bounces
The frick it did
It's the unique stage wall bounce, not a regular one. Remember the exploding canister giving a wall bounce?
That's not a wallbounce my guy
That's a stage gimmick like balcony break or floor break
YOU WILL MASH OUT THE RAGE ART AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY
>Only aggressive can stop aggressive now
Uh oh.
It's not looking good passive bros.
I dont mind for most
the magic 4 change is kinda iffy but I can live with it
but chip damage is the fricking dumb
they change the whole gameplay cause some korean boomer were defensive god who can block and dodge everything
tekken god prime jin main here
>running tackles no longer exist
good. uesless thing
>forward into hold forward makes you run
good. less unnecessary inputs + good for new players, easier to use running moves
>wallbounces seem to no longer exist
not true. they exist and they are buffed
>get up kicks no longer knockdown
good. it was annoying and awkward
>magic 4 no longer launches
first downgrade, but considering how many new bullshit like heat system we have maybe it was done to balance things out
>rage arts are only -13
second downgrade, literally no explanations why it has to be this way.
>low parries no longer give combos
third downgrade. i hope it is still a balance for heat system and this decision will be more clear on the release
>chip damage exists
very exited to see how its gonna turn out.
overall t8 gonna be a lot more aggressive and considering we had a decade of relatively very conservative game mechanics I think it is time to change things. the only truly experimental part we had was t4 and in my opinion it is the best in the series so lets hope.
>not true. they exist and they are buffed
proof
>third downgrade. i hope it is still a balance for heat system and this decision will be more clear on the release
low parries leading to full combo is beyond moronic low parry needed nerfing to its T6 status
Launch punishing every low was way too strong
4 no longer launches
>first downgrade, but considering how many new bullshit like heat system we have maybe it was done to balance things out
They made a tool good against aggression worse, to balance out a mechanic all about hyper aggression?
well as i understood each character has a unique heat system mode, so probably it is ultimate tool for everything
>well as i understood each character has a unique heat system mode
No. The system's effect is largely universal in the run, better frame data, etc. But each gets a unique feature e.g. Jun's new moves that drain her health no longer take any. All point to a short time where they are aggressive, cause it drains fast outside of combat. As in if you are hitting or being hit when it is active the meter doesn't drain. Including on block.
You just know that every DLC and top tier character will have a random ass I9 high ch launcher that counter hit launches which is what magic 4 does
>Magic 4 doesn't launch
>Getup kicks doesn't launch
>Springkicks doesn't knockdown
WAKE UP MASHING homieS BLOW THE FRICK OUT
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I love the idea of a fighting game that's trying to appeal to new players just straight-up buffing oki.
We suffocating these kids.
>mashes anime powerup rage move
>puts you in a mid/low blender that you now have no options to deal with because "why dodge the hellsweep when you can block and punish" murray is still in charge of tekken
>i'm playing on hotspot and using king
nothing personal mishima boomers
>Mashes anime powerup rage move
How the frick you gonna do that when heatdashes doesn't have armor universally?
Shut the frick up capkiddie.
We haven't seen it be possible to heatdash in neutral
It's always from a move on hit never on block
What does that have to do with anything???
Are you moronic?
Why would an action that only activates when you're +7 billion frames need armour? It's impossible for your opponent to act while you're heat dashing armour is irrelevant
You're fricking moronic.
You need to land a the hit first you dumbfrick omega scrub, there are no "raw" heatdashes.
You're still gonna get raped in oki situations no matter what lmao.
>How the frick you gonna do that when heatdashes doesn't have armor universally?
by playing the characters that either have armor or have claudio tier ff2 to cancel into heat mode you dumb anime poster
>Doesn't even know characters from the game
>spring kicks no longer knockdown
>Magic 4 no longer launches
nani? why?
Knee, LowHigh, Arslan Ash, any koreans playing defense matches
Knee and Arslan ruined Tekken by being the most boring players possible. Now Bamco is punishing the rest of us for it. I hope your EVO wins were worth it, you fricking homosexuals. This is your fault.
yeah frick it i'm just gonna go learn virtua fighter
i hate casuals and casual pandering.
has there been a single fighter released in the past 5 years that wasn't just a straight downgrade from it's predecessors?
>mahvel
is there any way to get good online without dealing with parsec?
>is there any way to get good online without dealing with parsec?
people are working on a rollback patch of some kind. Dont hold your breath but the modders have done a lot of shit that was previously thought impossible so who knows. There's also the copium that the reason its at evo is because they're making an official re-release but lol
Stop spamming this you fricking Hispanic. You subhuman ape. These are literally from a mutted e-celeb youtuber.
good morning Murray
>kbd still exists
I don't understand the point of all the dumbing down and noob friendly changes when korean backdash still exists and is mandatory to learn to get anywhere near intermediate at the game.
KBD isn't mandatory to have fun. You're only complaining because you want to be the best without putting in the work.
KBD is a defensive option
it sucks that shit like this
can happen with sidestepping and now the game is more about mashing on someone's face, something that KBD prevented
Sort of. It's more of a whiff trap. It's defensive in that it creates space but its greater purpose is to get your opponent to chase you down and try to force a block so you stop moving but you're moving back faster than their move comes out, which creates a whiff.
That's just one move anon, none of us know if increased tracking and AoE have been homogenized.
See
It takes a day to learn to do KBD consistently
>dumbing down and noob friendly changes
You vastly underestimate the fact that to even get to intermediate and high levels of play, you'll have to learn the majority of them and adapt accordingly, even if they're dumbed down
It will take you months to memorize the most basic shit in the new game, while you can start practicing KBD with any tekken game and be able to reliably do 2 or 3 in a row within a couple of days
Welp not buying Tekken 8. I'm not learning autistic mechanics like that. Why can't these games ever be intuitive?
>kbd is unintuitive
hate this meme tbh
I'm not gonna start learning technique that literally requires arcade stick. I'm using Xbox 360 controller and I can still win games just fine.
You kdb easily on pad
>requires arcade stick
what kind of homosexual morons are you getting these memes from?
Fricking moron lmao
Yeah I think its moronic that kbd is in the game.
>yeah I'm moronic
Glad we agree anon
OG Tekkenchad and I agree with this. It's a design contradiction.
all shitty modern fighting games work this way, make the game way easier to appeal to streamers and stream watchers but put in one tough mechanic so everyone can point to it as proof the game is actually just as hard as before
play marvel 3, its stuck in license limbo on top of the people who made it dying so it can never be tainted by shitty modern design & is good enough that its getting new players all the time recently because it turns out you don't actually have to listen to corporations and play new shitty game to get a lot of good competition, you just need to support an actually good game
I didn't KBD once in a ranked match and managed to get to Raijin before dropping the game. Learning basic defense like reacting on sweeps and sidestepping strings will get you further than any autistic tech that's only actually useful in professional tournaments.
They can't eliminate kbd or all of Korea will stop playing.
So that means the next Tekken World Tour winner will be American then. Western bros....its our time
>movement feels very similar to Tekken 7
The movement's the worst part of Tekken, if they were going to change anything it should have been that.
I wish it was T7 again.
>same shit movement, powercrushes, rage, and dumbed down juggles
>nerfed defensive and keep out mechanics, nerfed fricking parry, rage arts aren't launch punishable
>block damage on top of all of this
this is complete and utter garbage. Anyone shilling this is either a paid shill or doesn't play fighting games
I play fighting games to fight not grab, shield and parry.
No Chloe no buy, simple as.
Crossplay please harada
Please.
The crossplay
Pls
is there a release date yet? seems like they're getting more comfortable putting out info
early 2024 is everyone's guess
Who the hell knows when that’s gonna be
>Tekken 8
lol, lmao even
Why is juggling a bad thing
I have never been fond of tekken or other 3D fightan games, but this game looks as good as I would expect it. My only major complaint - holy frick, somebody please execute and replace the announcer for this game, what were they thinking
Apparently it’s a famous announcer or some shit. Someone else here will know.
Still sounds like a fricking idiot, but considering Tekken fans are willing to pay money for frame data, i guess eating shit and liking it is normal
just think of it like ryan seacrest is the announcer homie it's probably for the japanese folks more than anything
To be fair, after the first month or two i play fighting games with the sound low and my own music on, so i wouldn't even hear the homie if i bought this. And at least its nowhere near as annoying and offensive as the SF6 commentator mode
its a japanese b***h with a pitch
i want them to show off more music and after seeing so many fighter trailers, they all show the same formula
curious how yoshimitsu will look though
the usual announcer is in the game lenne hardt just does the trailers.
Shit taste. The announcer is awesome.
i will buy and play if it's under 20 GB
t7 being 80 GB is super moronic
>meters
Will Alisa and Dragunov be in Tekken 8?
When did Tekken peak?
4 or 8
Tekken 5 DR, even though it has shit balance. Then again, T7 also has.
aesthically and kino wise? 4
gameplay wise? 5DR
content wise? Tag 2
Tag 1 or DR.
5 pre DR
3 and TT2
>best OST and Gameplay
I still boot it up from time to time
Kino
no idea what that noise is
make space for the real deal
What made Tekken 6 bad? I still dont understand the consensus.
People didn't like the new characters or the ww3 story
bound and screw system was peak stupidity that ruined the game. it only requred one confirm and win/lose the game.
B O B
Horrible movement, probably the second worst after 7
Worst designs in the entire series other than Fahk in 7
For some reason two of the said designs being so busted we had a six out of eight Bob top 8
>Worst designs in the entire series
What the frick are (You) even talking about? All newcomers in 6 looked good and were all visually fun and interesting. Alisa was super cute and was a nice reference to the classic Gundam series, Zafina was super sexo with her exotic assassin motive and unique poses, Bob is universally the coolest fat character ever put into a video game, Leo is a cool adventurer mixed with Rock Haowrd, and Lars is a very fun mix of a western military soldier with Japanese Super Sentai aesthetic. All T6 designs looked good and memorable.
>a nice reference to the classic Gundam series
What the frick are you on about?
Her robotic parts are based on old Gundam designs
>old Gundam designs
There is genuinely no resemblance. At best you could say her design follows general modern sci-fi trends which may at times crossover with more modern gundams.
Leo is literally so boring they fricked around with their gender so they'd get attention, everyone else in 6 is pretty cool though
Between the Tekken 8 announcement and any details of its systems.
Tekken 5. It had a perfect balance of mechanical depth and content. I also liked the aesthetic it was going for the most.
Who is guaranteed in base outside of pic related?
No Akuma
No Buy
That’s what sf6 is for you dumbo 😉
Tekken Tag 2 was a terrible game.
where space ninja
More importantly will he get his best costume?
they should make him more humane less robot. would be neat. not sure about tekken yoshi compared to sc yoshi though.
jack got a robocop face if anything. hopefully they can figure out something else than bug/alien/squid shit
where are the sidesteps?
LMAOOOOOOOO
They changed his jackhammer to catch steppers but in return no longer causing a knockdown
King trying and failing to step it was to demonstrate exactly that you humongous homosexual
Also it's fricking King
He has one of the worst sidesteps out of the entire cast he struggles to step Jackhammer in T7
10 years of development led us to create
DIRT
Looks actually fun, bumping to see other anons reactions
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was peak tekken, all the other games are shit.
Apparently people still play it online
he sugarcoated it
IM HERE NOOOOOOW
IM DOING THE BEST I CAN
No Heihachi no buy.
too bad, so sad.
no one cares
My CRT comes in this week lads. What Tekken do I play on it first?
7
>862 Hours
>7th Kyu
I kneel
ever since first tekken 8 trailer i literally stopped ranked
tekken 7 just became pointless that day
Someone saved my cropped R34 Zafine-a. Never excepted this.
I was really hoping Rage Arts would have a hard counter in this game, especially since they chose to keep those over Rage Drives. Instead they made them even less punishable.
you like effects?
cant see shit captain
i hope theres a option to turn that shit down
Looks awesome.
hmm so the 1+2 heat engage is actually lead to combo on hit?
is that mean most character will have a one time use heat i12-13 frame launcher?
I guess the -13 rage art might not be that big of a deal if everyone can still heat launch their ass afterward
Anon, half of the round is spent in Heat and having to save your Heat for a literally random Rage Art punish (you only get heat once per round) is fricking moronic design.
Stretch and compress, why they still look like plastic action figures? It's 2023 and we still don't have jiggly buttocks.
>certain crouch cancel techniques only work if you're on the left side of the screen because of how sidesteps work
Embarrassing.
I'm afraid I'm going to be called up to the main stage during CEO pools and have to play on stream so everyone sees how salty I get when I lose.
was lack of aggression really an issue with Tekken 7? The backstep was nerfed enough that you couldn't make much whiff and all the characters they nerfed over and over like Kazumi had dominant pokes that you pretty much wanted to throw constantly.
Harada is just obsessed with nerfing all defensive options because le Black person hype and button mashing good.
Lmao (you) me again when you have an actual argument. Imagine defending v trigger and chip damage.
>was lack of aggression really an issue with Tekken 7?
Only at the absolute highest level of play.
These changes sound genuinely awful for the average player.
Gunna main Jun when it comes out.
Also I really hope Asuka is part of the rosta...
No Josie. No buy. Also the particles are too distracting.

Don't care. Still playing Kuma.

????
Tekken 8 is a predictable follow-up to a series that's never aimed particularly high, it may please casual gamers for a day or two but the stagnant ongoing series is definitely in the second tier of fighters way below Capcom or Arcsys games, and it's seriously getting old and tired. The lack of depth and subtlety and the emphasis on the offensive, rather than the defensive, puts this squarely two notches below the best in the genre, the shallow gameplay leaves much to be desired from a serious fighting game player. Like the prequels, Tekken 8 is geared towards casual gamers and anyone who's been exposed to more technical, more dynamic fighting games will quickly pass on tekken. Other top fighters, namely Street Fighter, Guilty Gear and King of Fighters games have advanced impressively in their latest installments; but the relic that is tekken just can't seem to evolve, furthermore many combos can be done simply by hitting 1-button, and the nearly "instant-kill" rage art moves are just laughably broken. Instead of supplying a proper fighting engine, matches in T8 seem to rely heavily on "who can get their Heat move off first". So many elements of the gameplay don't even require any sort of skill. In my book, Heat system also gets old very quickly. And in the end, it's more of a novelty or gimmick rather than an actual, thought-out fighting game mechanic. But hey, the casual crowd will be pleased!
If you want something a little more "button-masher-friendly," tekken might be your cup of tea.... Key word, might.

Shes getting swapped for Dr. Bosconovitch. Sorry u had to find out this way anon..
Tekken is a shallow casual button masher and only ever played by casuals.

This, no one in the FGC cares about tekken, its regarded as a joke by competitive fighting game players.

Don't make me bring out the steam charts again
You mean the botted steam charts?

Please show me how I'm wrong because I have no fricking clue
post 1(one) whole second of you play either of these games. Ill even take any fighting game for that matter.
And no I dont mean your steam played time from when you AFK'd in training mode, launch the game and get back to me.

i prefer his p2 tekken 4 hair. when they actually had some frickin physics
Do people really like the graphics and character designs for Tekken 8? Because despite some of the questionable character designs for new characters in SF6, the game is brimming with style. It is appealing to look at in motion.
Tekken 8 is just soulless graphics effects happening for the sake of graphics effects and making everything overly detailed for the sake of it.
>SF6
>style
It looks horrendous and the style and personality is just "oh I'm from this country so all my person alitt gonna revolve around that"
>It looks horrendous and the style and personality is just "oh I'm from this country so all my person alitt gonna revolve around that"
this is the kind of shit middle class white people shit themselves about while the locals love it
Well guess what I'm not a middle class white,you canhave a good character without making them a big walking cliché like...look lily lazy as frick design she's is just "indigenous" and his stage is a fricking dirt road...and then you have king,a walking luchador cliché too but done way better as a character being just Mexican is not his most distinctive trait
>oh I'm from this country so all my person alitt gonna revolve around that
This has been the case with sf characters since the dawn of time
i dont get those comments, where are these people from? out of sfv, strive and tekken, t7 is the one with the fastest match(at last for my yellow rank ass) and sfv the slowest.
Fighting games were made for casuals not for sweaty ass nerds. Because of them the casuals had to move to Call of Duty and the industry is dying. So thanks alot giganerds you ruined an entire genre just like you did with RTS too. When will you little homosexuals learn?

so when is this coming out? with the amount of trailers we've been getting it has to at least be late this year right?
tekken games actually get good full rosters unlike shit fighter
not what i asked at all but ok
we got catfished with that first trailer
tekken is a casual button masher
and you will never be a woman
i already am a woman sweatie
i am teal rank btw if that matters 🙂
2.73 MB
Imagine looking at this low IQ button mashing zero neutral KUSOGE and thinking, yeah this game is too defensive we need to make it more dumbed down and more aggressive.
Playing defensively wasn't exactly easy either. Now it'll probably be impossible. Any chump can probably use rage to do a 1 2 jab into a 40% rage combo.
It's because it's one mistake = button-mashed-combo-hell-death it causes round timeout levels of footsies because they are too scared to go in for anything.
But T7's problems run deep and wide. The input lag reduces it to only a couple of valid hit confirms, the complexity of the timings means there's an infinite hiding in every wall bounce, the slow animations with bizarre cancel timings and large roster make for an impossible set of match ups to learn... Just hit buttons and smile at the pretty particles because that's all it's good for.
Just double the HP bar and this problem is fixed. Dragon Ball fighting games figured this out long ago.
I have a question for hardcore Tekken players:
How do you guys feel about having to watch the Rage Art animation up to 10 times per game?
Because as a casual player that shit really gets tedious fast when you see it coming every time one of the 2 guys is low on health, they even removed rage drives so there's basically no mixups.
intermediate players don't spam rage art every time so we don't have to watch it that often
right at the start ling does 60-70% of lars health with one heat move. im not sure I like this, strive flashbacks.
The Heat sound effect is annoying
Alright, fellas. It's time. Place your bets.
Who's up next for a gameplay trailer?

>Harada and Murray will be there along with the big alpha test
Yoshimitsu or Asuka
Asuka isn't in the game anymore.
>Jun is just Unkown but with light
she is
If you've watched the gameplay previews Jun has several of Asukas moves. Yes, I know other Tekken characters share moves and that doesn't mean Asuka won't eventually come back as DLC, but there's no way they're going to have that overlap in the base roster when they have so many other options. If you're lucky Asuka will be Season 2 or 3 DLC.
Yoshi is a good bet but they'll show more than 1 character.
I'm betting the other is Feng because Harada is a Fenggay himself
who is the character that japs love most? my personal guess is one new character (male) and one classic cute girl japs love
Bryan
Yoshi or Bryan
Itagaki won
tekken is a casual button masher
SOVL.
this shit looks fricking awesome and is pure soul, if you cant see that then you're a homosexual, u wouldnt know soul even if i stared straight into your eyes cuz of all the semen in your eyes.
tekken is the only franchise not taking a dump on their fans.
>-13 rage arts you on wakeup leaving you unable to punish it properly
yeah soul
Just because you can't launch it doesn't mean you can't punish it properly. Plus you can use your own heat to punish harder. That's probably why they changed it.
If the Heat activation launches and it's -13f or faster it's a non issue, they may just be forcing players to use Heat to punish certain moves rather than relying on normal launchers.
I really don't think this is that big a deal, you should still be able to punish that and they'll be at low health when they have access to it anyway.
This is great
Sovl is coming back to fighting games after that dark period between SF5 and Starve
FINALLY
FRICKING FINALLY A FG BRINGS THESE BACK
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
So weird seeing these characters do new animations, and ones that aren't mocapped
I was skeptical at first, but the more they show the more I like it.
Very nice.
Has anyone been able to find the character select screen? Haven’t been able to see it so far
there is none in the alpha
its jut a place holder grey screen
everything looks great but the Heat system's low IQ pressure is shit
Are they dumbing down tekken 8 so even 2 year olds will be able to play it?
I'll buy day 1, enjoy 20 hours, then never pick up again
that's actually what Bamco wants
This is how I consoom all my games yes.
>t. havent completed a game since 2006
>imagine playing sf6 in this day and age
I'm really not digging the Tekken 8 female faces, they all look like they have butterface.
there is just 3 so far
that i dont even care about
as long as Josie, Zafina and Lili look good who cares
I don't see why you're optimistic about those 3 not having the same issue. On the other hand, only Lili has a chance of being in the base roster, and Josie/Zafina are going to be in Season 7 DLC or never evers, so you've got that going for you.
Nina is a Karen
Jun got aged up but only in head shape
Ling is fine but lacks a little detail maybe
so yeah. its bcs of Ling that i am not that worried
But Ling has the exact same issue as the other two, her face just looks like a butterball. Her cheeks have no definition or shape, it's just a flat mass. Compare how the female faces look to the males, who have actual definition and angular features and the difference should be obvious. For some reason Tekken always phones it in when it comes to the girls, they never take the time to model them well. Compare the Tekken 8 girls faces to say, Soul Calibur 6 girls faces and the differences should be obvious.
have you ever left your fricking house !?
this is how males and females look irl as well.
Nobody wants to see pores, grease or square jaws on a girl. They look like plastic SFM bawds because that's what people want
You're talking to a troony.
Get the frick out, I want the girls to look good, not like fricking Kimberly from SF6. The issue is that right now they just have not put in the effort on their facial features. Just compare them to the males, with Kazuya or Paul you can see so much detail and it is fricking beautiful, each one looks distinct with clear curvature and definition on their cheekbones, jawline, everything.
Yet when you look at the girls they don't have this at all, you can't even see their cheekbones, their jaws are not properly formed and the entire face just looks like this round, buttery mass without any real definition. It's garbage and the Tekken devs should be called out for how lazy they are when it comes to modeling their females. It wouldn't surprise me if they're still just ripping the male model and making the bare minimum changes to it with how the girls look in T8 so far.
Go back to Twitter, troony
Frick off you disingenuous homosexual, only trannies hate beautiful women and want
to be removed so "beauty" is a shapeless mass of a face with some lipstick thrown on.
I just want their faces to have actual definition and features like every other fighting game character made in the last ten years. Their faces have no curvature or defined shape, they legit just look like a fleshy ball with nose and eyes painted onto them, it's particularly obvious in their cheeks. You cannot name a fighting game that has worse modeled faces for its females, except maybe NRS, and even those have defined features, it's just that they're ugly as sin.
Zafina wants to team with Caludio, she should be part of the story at least.
And you think Claudio is in the base roster why? He was supposed to have something to do with Xiaoyu yet now her story doesn't even mention him, that's not a good sign he's going to be around in the initial version of the game.
Lili got the worst bogging of all the tekken females
frick off main man
i like her porcelain beauty
This is exactly what I'm talking about, look at the degeneration here, T5 Lili had actual care put into her eyes, jaw, cheeks, everything, and by T7 she has virtually on distinct features at all and the exact same indistinct butterface that I was pointing out with the T8 girls. Which is an issue I thought they would've fixed, not made worse with the new game, but instead it seems they put all their effort and work into modeling the males and barely put any time at all into the girls.
>Thoughts?
Street Fighter is done for.
Street Fighter caters to too many fetishes for that to be true.
if SF5 didn't killed it, nothing will
Other than poor netcode and normie abandonment, Street Fighter V was actually better than 4.
it was, but no one will admit it except this place because SF6 will come out and the Zelda cycle must go on
>Releases a year after SF6
yeah man real dead
>Kazuya basically rules the world now
Based.
I hope there's a secret evil lurking behind, Kazuya can't be the final boss AGAIN. The best Tekken final bosses are the ones not part of the fricking Mishima family, well except Jinpachi, he was cool.
Disagree. Best Tekken boss was Tekken 4, an old man in a diaper.
Technically, Kaz has never been the final boss. It was Devil in Tekken 2 and he hasn't been the final boss in any other game.
Don't be disingenuous, Kazuya was possessed by Devil in 2 but it was Kazuya nonetheless, and in Tekken 7 he is the Final Boss of the Story Mode, a complete new version of Devil Kazuya who he has full control of since Tekken 4, Kazumi is the Final Boss of the Arcade version/mode.
Enter.
>let's bring a 20 years missing character that only legit boomer remember fondly
>and add modern gimmick
WHO IS BOOING?
moron
I don't like KBD because it looks like shit.
That's the entire reason.
chloe bros, how are we feeling?
She graduated... cause of a boyfriend scandal
Man, I hope Jane actually shows up this time.
The Jack series being rebranded each new Tekken sure is confusing, technically there has been one Jack since Tekken 5, the one who Jane rebooted the memories of the destroyed Jack-2 inside of it.
I like that we have been essentially playing as the same Jack since Jack-2. I find Jane growing up and getting into robotics so she could revive the one that saved her life as a child very sweet.
Tekken is a brain dead casual masher and T8 is only leaning harder into that.
Good, that's how it will sell 10 million copies again, in less time now.
>these changes
This shit's the SF5 if tekken games, a complete and utter DOA flop.
To be fair SF changes a lot from each numbered iteration anyway, it was just that 5 also neutered character movesets for no real reason
Tekken hasn't had that big change between games for a while now although maybe they are messing with movesets too much as well (although imo by Tekken 7's latter seasons everyone felt too overtuned and homogenous due to constant buffs making everyone pretty well-rounded everywhere for the most part, so perhaps this shakeup is needed)
I want to see Asuka's big fat tomboy honkers already
This but with Anna's fat thighs in a new sheer clothing option instead
Lets talk guest characters
Will either be Solid Snake or John Wick
i nominate Sam Bridges
They removed kbd right?
>Watch some T8 real players match footage
>Round start
>Players pussyfoot around like in T7 when opponent have rage (because of heat’s threat)
>One player activates his heat
>Another player activates his heat to answer
>mash mash mash mash
>after both run out of heat, the round is in rage territory already
>They go back to pussyfooting
Maybe the players I watch are scrubs, but if this is how the game will be then holy shit.
Anon it's day negative 365 no one knows how this game is played yet
There are so many new systems it's going to take a while for the meta to develop
Reminder that this will be the first tekken with no arcade drop. And no arcade drop really does wonder for FG balancing, isnt it?
The chip damage alone is moronic. good luck getting spammed with frame traps til you die.
Tekken is the only game that still does the archaic arcade release first shit
You can balance a fighting game without that.
Well a competent dev can, the Tekken balance team have shown themselves to be woefully incompotent for years now
You're right, but the new changes don't really suggest any healthy change. They really weren't lying that aggression was buffed, but defence was also nerfed way more than anyone thought. There may be more changes we aren't privy too yet. But as it stands I can't see how this doesn't create either hyper aggression, or make any interaction so deadly players engage even less.
I dunno bros I'm actually hopeful for 8
Atif Butt is going to destroy everyone in tournaments
A stiff butt?
All it will take for Tekken 8 to be better than Tekken 7 is for it to not have Akuma.
Xiaoyu is really cute in Tekken 8, hats off. I'd say she's even on par with DOA6 girls.
Xiaoyu came a long way
Started from the bottom now we're here...
Same can be said about a similar Chinese girl in another fighting franchise: Leifang. Out of all the DOA girls she was really mid in the earlier titles. Now she's a top babe.
Why are nice girls always down bad for unrepentant buttholes?
Forgot pic
>Nice
I still hope she's actually corrupted and goes full Unknown during Tekken 8's story. Even better, she goes Unknown and her and Kazuya start fricking again and team up as an evil power couple. Woudl be based.
Like, seriously cute.
Zoomed in and realised she'd look perfect with short hair tbqhwyf
>they actually improved Ling's safe deathfist (that can be cancelled into mixup or combo extension on hit)
>mfw the release is 2024 and not 2023
Harada isn't a loon to compete against Boon since they respect each other, and Boon is about to reveal and release MK12 this year
