My understanding is that T8's beta was gimmicky and high damage (but not in the fun Tekken way). Testers talk them down, the game's really good.
Cut to DLC s2. They add MORE GIMMICKS and MORE DAMAGE, despite what literally everyone told them. The game sucked for a while, & the fandom holds grudges

I don't play Tekken but Season 2 for T8 didn't sound good at all. Like it was beyond "Oh the old heads hate the new stuff"

I need people to understand, since 5 Tekken was a series I played RELIGIOUSLY...
And then T8 happened with SEASON 2 of T8 killing my desire to touch the game entirely
I have no faith in this with Harada gone tbh

Tekken season 3 line up is cool. I’m more interested in the ranking and mechanical changes they boasted in the trailer. To me it sounds like Tekken 7 like and if that’s the case legacy players bout murder newer ones. T7 was defense heavy AF, whereas T8 is super offensive.

T8 is my first Tekken so I don’t have the same Craig trauma a lot of other players have. I just know my coach mained him in T7 so I’ll be learning from the best.

Feb 1st before TWT top 8 they should be announcing season 3 of Tekken 8 and hopefully will be telling us Craig is coming to T8.
I’m really enjoying the idea of grabbing people and making them crash out even more than I already do with Dragunov. I think I will like Craig.

Tekken 8 actually does have a little bit of that already, but it would be a lot cooler if it was more robust like you describe, but yeah T8 points out punishment opportunities with recommended punishes, strings you can duck, and throw break commands in your replays.

oh tekken drives me up the wall. it's their highest budget and most popular fighting game and *that* is what they manage to come up with for the women? where is the variety, the seasoning... they all look so similar (at least from what i've seen in T8) and i hate it 💔

oh yeah Tekken 8 is super duper aggro. I didn't really start getting into fighting games until SF6 and T8 but I've been really loving both of them for how different they feel tempo wise. I'm curious to see if T8 finally relinquishes and adds some new defensive options after two years of complaining

don't mind me I just hit Tekken King for the first time in T8 only to get sent back down to blue ranks
I'm Charlie Brown trying to kick the football in this bitch

Excited to dive into SFxT. I play SF6 and T8 periodically but can't keep up with the grind. Playing dead fighting games allows me to focus on actually having fun. Most importantly we will triumph over fascism by mass resistance that even now is only in its early stages

Had my first real T8 ranked session and it went really well! Really jiving with Miary and I got a 23 win streak to get the hell out of the lowest ranks. I couldn't rank up worth a damn in T7 so this is really new to me and I'm pretty proud even if most of the people I fought couldn't handle grabs.

The same local 🇵🇭 #fgc folks (Tekken is king here) bashing Bandai Namco from pillar to post for Season 2 now crying that T8 has lost its Top 2 billing.
Completely unserious playerbase.

Obviously its a regional japan tale above anything else but the fact T8 is losing to Strive of all things all these years later doesn't bode well.
Here's hoping whatever Tekken 8 season 3 is, its a home run

The difference between a Tekken noob and an experienced player is when you finally understand that (at least in T8) 50% of the match is baiting a whiff to set up long, brutal combos, and 50% is trying to survive long brutal combos after being baited into a whiff. It's not actually fun.

Is Arcade Stick still the best way to play Tekken?
I've gotten super into T8, and I've been playing on pad, but some of the inputs for King's chain grabs are just impossible with 4 face buttons...
