  • I didn't have a main when I started T8 because I played Lei in T7. After a couple of weeks I decided to try Feng because we're the same height and it just clicked

    • honestly I don't think yoshi players expected yoshi to be high tier in this game, this has never happened before, the best he's ever been is scraping mid tier before now

  • I get into a crisis pretty much instantly for any game I get -"ok these guys look cool" -watch online guides, try them out in training -"just some quick online matches with ___" -if I like the character, I keep trying them, but I still get that feeling of the other characters I like -if I keep playing but I feel at odds, doubt sets in, I try another character, cycle repeats lol

  • I started with Reina but fell in love with the EWGF and wave dash mechanic making others characters inherently more boring at default. It's a real curse because there aren't many characters that can wave dash and even less that can do EWGF. Now I am a sweaty kazuya main.

  • had the same problem. i just started with tekken 7 when they announced tekken 8. i mostly played lei wulong but he isnt there anymore :( out of the 4 characters that interested me back in tekken 7 only hwoarang remained. so the desicion was not that bad but a few other characters looked interesting and made it hard to truly choose my first main

  • It's important to note that, while starting, having just one character to focus on is important, there is nothing stopping you from picking leeroy as a side character later on. Every character will be better at teaching you some fundamentals and worse at teaching you others. After reaching a decent enough level where you can understand your character well and sorta understand the opponent, picking a secondary to teach you some of the other aspects of Tekken or just to have a bit fun can be a refreshing experience. TLDR: its a video game, pick shaheen, fuck jun.

  • I like your criteria, I used to do this way back which got me playing Sol in GG, Law in Tekken, and Ryu in SF. Everything changed when I started to learn fighting games through Melty Blood. I get bodied hard by my friends who know how to air combo and to get up to par I need a character that doesn't need to air combo but still dish a lot of damage, so Kishima Kouma became the first character I truly mained. Since then, aside from looks I tend to go for grapplers, strikers, or striker/grappler hybrid. There's a few exceptions like Saki in Arcana Heart and Dan from SF4.

  • Very nice video. I have been also thinking about this same topic from actually yesterday. The first time I played Tekken was at comic con with the Tekken 8 demo. I liked all the characters but Claudio stood out to me for no odd reason. I went home and bought 7 eventually as 8 wasn't out yet. I played as him throughout my hours. But now that I am considering buying 8 and replay 7, I don't know what should I do. Stick with Claudio or learn others. This video was helpful in that aspect. Thanks...!

  • I had struggled to figure out my main on the first day I played Tekken 8. I played Heihachi and given plot, he was not in this game. So I thought "maybe I can go Feng" as I played him in past games and wasn't bad. Then I played Story Mode. I looked at Reina afterwards, saw her moves and some VERY familiar names with moves. She has been my main ever since. And I am genuinely enjoying learning more things about her playstyle

  • You can watch That Blasted Salami's overviews. He's in the middle of making a series for Tekken 8, but that's how I decided who I want to play for both Tekken 7 and it helps going into Tekken 8. He breaks down their appeal, gameplan, style, key tools/unique characteristics, changes from Tekken 7, and how difficult they are/can be.

  • I know I shouldn't let it but perception by others has really hampered how I approach the game. I started learning Tekken with 7 after seeing Rangchu compete and win with a low tier like Panda and learned bears. Getting rage quit on and sent hate mail was funny at first but after going through the entirety of T7 it's tiring. And now that Kuma is still low tier but stronger than he previously was, it does feel like it invalidates my accomplishes -- that I'm just getting by on character unfamiliarity. It's what made me stop playing him after I climbed to Mighty Ruler. Thought to use it as an opportunity to learn a character that excels in places the bears lack -- a smaller bodied character with better movement/side stepping that plays more aggressively. So far no one that I had interest in is really feeling how I want them to gameplay wise. I don't really care for high execution or just-frame inputs so I kinda avoid a small chunk of characters instinctually. Closest fit so far is Paul but even then I'm iffy on that

  • You mentioned that Jun seems nice, to the extent that she must be fighting out of obligation --whereas the other characters aren't. The story of Tekken is about a series of representatives from each county being obligated to fight in the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Everyone is being forced to fight by Kazuya...previously Heihachi.

    • Oh 100%. I initially had an entire section in this video dedicated to diving deeper into that, but decided to eliminate it because it kinda ruined the flow of the video. I think the big thing for me was mostly how they present their other reasonings. Like every round Leroy shows up practicing and talking about Weng chun, and Reina showing up and talking trash / wanting to continue Heihachi’s legacy were both more appealing than what Jun had going on.

  • if perception matters to you, it's even more of a reason to pick reina. getting good with reina is a struggle. Leroy *Is* not great but he's also, well, piss easy. Reina has some mashy, cheesy stuff but at higher ranks running her gameplan on people is hard and her execution demands are high. As a result, most people that complain about Reina, are mostly people that don't understand how to counter her cheese. Reina is a very "respectable" character

  • My choice was easy, I just pick whoever has the most appealing moveset and is fun to play. Although I find tier lists interesting, that doesn't affect who I personally choose to play in the slightest. Also, how popular a character is doesn't matter. Having said that, Reina IS the reason I picked up Tekken 8. I don't regret my decision.

Also maining a bad character is smart bc when they get buffed? You are immediately better than those who need meta to win Yoshimitsu and Jin, both are fun. Yoshi is whacky and wont get boring too quickly. Reina. Fun but too popular. If she gets nerfed then she'll be easier for every one to counter
