      I like Tekken too but it's way too hard and autistic and I can't enjoy any game without being a sweaty tryhard, so I'd just get frustrated at low ranks vs "noobs" with 500 hours in every single Tekken title.

              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 NRS 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, Mortal Kombat 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" heat 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.

                No one sane buys MK on PC. NRS has a history of shitty PC ports with delayed patches, performance problems, straight up balance differences due to incompetence and more. This release in particular needs a beefy PC to run, can't be legally sold on Russia, also had some problems with servers in some regions like Africa and Southeast Asia if I'm not mistaken, which means that the 3rd world people who play on PC completely ignored this release. Still, they promised crossplay coming this year, let's see if that changes anything.

    Tekken is so weird to me. A fighting game with no difference between normal and special moves, where characters just do strings, where you basically never jump, where you block standing by default, where you don't have any meter to manage. My brain can't process it. I'm buying UNI2 instead.

            street fighter i feel that at some point it becomes all about reaction and spacing, while it will always be the same optimized combo, even the combos can get a little weird on tekken since you have the wall and other stage conditions.

        It is widely known that reviewers are political prostitutes. Just like the ESG shit cutting off your bank loans because you don't have enough troons working for you, these presstitutes also deduct points because the fashy commissars don't like your game having attractive female characters.

        You could pretend to be moronic like 10 years ago when this shit was hidden and only feminist grifters were around talking about how women globally are getting genocided because you look at pretty pixels in video games. These days it's a foregone conclusion.

            Eh, it kinda does. It's like a second or two long, but it does do a big slowdown move that stops the action for a sec. It's one of the things I personally don't like in a lot of modern fighting games. I prefer the more classic, arcadey style fighters like older Tekken or Soulcalibur with no meters, no slowdown moves, etc. The only thing that made a match slow down were throws, generally.

            I get that it's good for spectacle, I just prefer simpler presentation a lot of the time.

    I dunno why nobody ever really mentions this but even JDCR said you can "feel" when to block high or low. I get into the state pretty frequently and I can usually get into a good grove on when an opponent is trying to go for a high, medium or low. Even the split second on the startup frames you can tell if the move is going to hit which one. You just really gotta watch out for the sneaky moves like Snakeedges and other stuff which are either too quick to react to or have weird ass properties.

    Besides the only issue is Tekken does the opposite of most fighting games. (You should by default block medium/high and react to lows) while most fighters it's Default block low, react to high.

      main difference is that some lows on tekken can lead to a huge combo, while overheads are slow as shit and hardly lead to something really big unless on those anime games where the guy comes flying at you as a overhead.

              every single person i've taught or seen struggling has been trying to drag their stick around from 6 to 2 like they are molesting their wiener, or rubbing around the d-pad like the first time they've touched a women's frontbottom - because of that fricking "Z".
              when they discover that arcade sticks and d-pads have this magical property of going to neutral on their own without touching them, it's like a caveman discovering fire for the first time.
              and now they can DP almost as easily as dashing.

              (to be even more extremely pedantic, the numpad is certainly an accurate shorthand, but doesn't match up exactly with what is happening. obviously you don't actually 'press 5' on any type of key/button input. so it would be like "5, 6, 5, 2, 2+3+attack", and now it's not a "Z" - its the Tekken notation)

                The people you taught being moronic isn't the same as the input symbol being bad. That's a fine way to start off learning the motion, but if you want to do things fast, you'll eventually learn to do it without extraneous neutral inputs.

                holy shit both you and the people you supposedly taught to are moronic
                the Z notation is perfectly fine, cause anyone who's not moronic can see that the only way to go from 6 to 2 without passing through 3 is to let go of the stick/dpad
                what's more amazing about your moronicness is that your idea of "6, 5, 2, 3" is factually wrong, cause with any input checker you can see that 5, 2, 3 SKIPPING the neutral position also works, so the Z is 100% accurate

        KBD is IAD but upside down, reversed, needs to be chained, far more susceptible to varied timing and the first one has an extra input.
        You can't do an IAD "too fast". A KDB done too fast will kill your movement.

    im so confused why people keep bringing uni2 into tekken threads. yes they're both fighting games but like lmao, i mean if you're gonna pick one. 8/10 you're gonna pick tekken 8 just because it's the more popular one. you're only playing uni2 if you played it since day 1 or if your friend promised his bussy if you buy it.

      They play nothing alike, for someone who likes other recent 2D fighters like SF6, Granblue or Strive, UNI2 is closer to those than Tekken. I can see someone preferring UNI2. As to why bring it up, fighting games are a genre where completely different games share a community, tournaments and e-celebs. People always discuss multiple games, especially in this case where 2 games come out the same week.

                Huh, better I suppose, but weirdly feels like a customized character. I think if they'd made it grey that could have been a cool callback to Heihachi. Still, probably the outfit I'll use.

                So, do all characters have a 2P in this game? I'm so used to fighting games being stingy with alt costumes now I've stopped counting on them.

Mortal Kombat had me pretty jaded, with the classic looks and even story looks for most characters behind a grind, paywall or some combination of both.

          Yeah, bought a TV last year pretty cheap. It wasn't a big purchase but it did advertise HDR so I was kinda excited. Got it and HDR looked shit; I learned you need a really high brightness for HDR to look good, and even then it's still limited without OLED for a full brightness range.

          • 4 months ago
            Anonymous

            It looks incredible on OLED, even if it doesn't go as bright as some hi-end LCDs. Perfect blacks really do give you that extra bit of contrast that make all the highlights stand out.
            Cheap LCDs, on the other hand, all look like shit. My previous TV was an IPS panel from 2016. Technically supported HDR, but without any local dimming it just blew out the whole picture at max brightness and ended up not looking very good. I never used HDR on it after the initial tests.
            PC monitors are the worst offenders in this regard. Nowadays they are all advertised as HDR displays with some HDR 400 certificate or something, but it's the same case as with my TV, max brightness and no local dimming = shitty contrast, doesn't even deserve to be called HDR. But that's what most people buy and base their opinion on.

            Youtube allows uploading videos with HDR. Recoding something with HDR, then uploading it without HDR makes it look like garbage.

            Yeah, but that's on the person who recorded the footage/uploaded the video. When YT introduced HDR may people used it, but it has somehow dropped off with time, now barely any HDR videos get uploaded, especially with gameplay.
            Maybe it introduces some difficulty in recording/editing the video, I don't know. But tonemapping HDR to SDR like this definitely isn't the way to go.

        I'm more bothered by the screen space reflections on the floor. I know ray tracing is too demanding for something like a fighting game right now but I'm looking forward to when hardware makes it standard and we don't have to deal with SSR anymore. It almost never looks good

        Would anyone be into the idea of a Soulcalibur fighter making an appearance as DLC? Cervantes or some iteration of Nightmare could be lots of fun. It's not like mystical shit is outside of Tekken's lore/presentation and Yoshimitsu's lore has implied they're in the same universe.

        Could obviously be a non-canon inclusion as well.

      Wondering the same. I haven't played since TTT. That said, T8 includes a series recap and seems to be designed around easing new players in with its avatar-guided Arcade mode. Check out the demo, it made me feel like possibly picking up the game.

      My main worry is that literally every character has like pages of commands. I have no idea how one learns a main, much less the whole roster.

              Taking in account that Harada team had the Reina idea when he was still alive I would discard it.
              Heihachi could hide a daughter existence during the T3-T4 timeskip.. Both Jin and Kazuya were hiding from him.
              Also her knowledge about the Devil Gene seems limited while Heihachi must know a lot about it.
