Been playing for like 7ish hours, I have to say this game has potential to become my favorite fighting game. The controls at first come off as clunky, but after labbing with yoshimitsu for a few hours I will say that it is so, so clean when you get all the timings down on your combos. Rounds can end in like 20 seconds in Tekken 8. It’s such a nice breath of fresh air after MK11 and Mk1’s defense centered gameplay. Not to mention the insane amount of content, tekken ball goes so hard. I love this game so far.

Back in the day, in the UK, I bought an import Japanese PS1 and new Sony Trinitron TV with SCART input in order to play the first Tekken game. Even when I cooled off gaming (about PS3 time) I still indulged in a bit of Tekken. I even got an eGPU so that I could occasionally play Tekken 7 on my laptops. And last year when I had something of a renewal of interest , and got a Steam Deck - the first game I got for it was Tekken 7.

Tekken 8 actually does simplify things, but in a smart way You can use single-command their extensions instead of memorizing long commands for chain throws, or if you do/did it in previous games - you can apply the harder input to squeeze extra damage Throw breaks are now shown in move list, basic throws are still easy to break since Tekken 7 Instant run input seems to be much easier Reina - one of the more/most complex characters in the series, has simplified inputs for wavedash, but keeps the true Mishima-style inputs and adds fancy electric sparks to her feet if you use the harder input This new special style can be toggled midfight, turning the controls more akin to spectacle-fighter games/brawlers with one button(can be chained with itself and others+directions) for attacks, one for juggles one for throws and do on The move list shows a lot more details about moves and previously hidden extensions/special inputs/extra descriptions etc. Frame data is there too, along with pretty good screen for move nuances Arcade Quest is basically a tutorial with shitty/cheesy story(the good stuff is in main story mode) Game is hard AF, more could be done, don't get me wrong, but it's a lot more beginner-friendly now

I am a perpetual beginner. Tekken 3 was my first fighting game, and one of the first games I ever played. Since then I've gotten most of the Tekken games out of nostalgia more than anything else as I don't typically play much of any fighting game, but I get every Tekken and spend a few months with it before moving on. I enjoy them, but fighting games are generally not for me. Saying all of that, I am not an expert at all, however I have found Tekken 8 super easy to pick up compared to the others. Playing as the new character Reina, it was amazing to me how intuitive she is to play. Just a bit of button mashing, and a few looks at the move list and I was able to start stringing together combos and it made me feel like I was good at the game. I can see myself sticking with Tekken 8 much longer than the others. I may even get into online this time around. TLDR: BUY THIS FUCKIN GAME RIGHT NOW!

As someone who isn't big on online pvp fighting games. I am enjoying the story of the arcade quest mode. Unlocking ALL of the cosmetics in game i've seen is by completing challenges which is nice. There's an easy mode that helps do things like certain combos if you don't know the characters and want to enjoy the main storyline. Individual stories with each character too. Practice modes have really cool save states and ways to save replays of fights you can go back into.

I'm actually surprised they launched the game with both cross-play and rollback together. Some fighting games launched either have only one or the other or add them post launch months after but not both. MK1 doesn't even have both and it's fairly new although there was news that it will add cross-play this year. I'm glad SF6 and Tekken8 launched with both of these. Hopefully this will become a sort of a standard for upcoming new fighting games.
@chocobanana52623 ай бұрын
It’s hard because of the button input for combos. 1. It isn’t like smash bros where you press a button and the character immediately attacks. 2. In Tekken it’s more of a “programmed input” where you press ALL buttons in a combo and then watch the character do the combo. 3. If YOU DO NOT quickly press all the buttons in the combo, then you’ll get that single punch or single kick button reaction like in smash bros. It really is an action game under the guise of a fighter.

I haven't been this excited for Tekken since the legendary Tekken 3 back in '97. Watch some of those 1.5 hour lore breakdowns for the story. Very entertaining stuff
This is my exact sentiment
With the success of Tekken 8, I hope it makes Bandai confident enough to make a Soulcalibur 7.
Their budget took a big hit the last time around which is why everything looked dated and why we had artwork instead of cutscenes. While i would like to see another Soul Calibur, it just isn't a popular fighting game anymore.

Been playing for like 7ish hours, I have to say this game has potential to become my favorite fighting game. The controls at first come off as clunky, but after labbing with yoshimitsu for a few hours I will say that it is so, so clean when you get all the timings down on your combos. Rounds can end in like 20 seconds in Tekken 8. It’s such a nice breath of fresh air after MK11 and Mk1’s defense centered gameplay. Not to mention the insane amount of content, tekken ball goes so hard. I love this game so far.
I played for 9 hours straight, I had to force myself to go eat! xD This game is unbelievable, gonna go play again in a bit after this small KZhead break lol
Nothing grants a seal of approval quite like a several-hour-long sesh right off the bat. Consider this game bought.
Just got off a 7 hour sesh myself and for the same reason I need to eat lol yeah this is my favourite fighting game ever now it just hits different when you get in the flow 👏👏
Considering that mk1 is maybe dying (according to some sources I know) the fact that tekken 8 costs as much as mk1 and offers more single player content and is more of an aggressive game, tekken 8 is REALLY looking appealing to me

Graphics and muscle definition is insane! Glad they went with this approach. Hoping they can finally also bring an updated new soul caliber with these same (updated graphics and definition)
soul calibur really needs some love. SC6 is a mess with wonky hitboxes, vertical tracking, walkable horizontals. this game doesnt respect it own rules. also the ce and powerup things are just annoying. hopefully the next will be a blast

Love Tekken, but SamSho 2019 low diffs all
Yeah it is, it's really the only one that offers something different
I honestly think 32 fighters is an impressive selection and much more than this would just start to annoy me. Different characters would blend together in my brain and I'd have no chance of actually remembering match-ups. This is a good base and I'm sure they will add several seasons of characters on top, so we won't get bored. Tekken is certainly back.
I have to say as a kid growing up in the 80s …me and the boys would always hit the arcades southside Pittsburgh and I would always run it as some TEKKEN… always hands down my fav fighting game. Never disappoints. Thanks for the memories then and as always now
Very reliable review; Objective, transparent and brief enough to inform all. Indeed, there is the online issue I got the game regardless. I was zafina main four years ago when I took a break from T7 so my initial thoughts was I was going to pick it up easily but sadly I literally noob and need weeks labbing before jumping to the online so I hope by that time it's fixed
The part with the bear and robot rocket fish slayed me. I absolutely expect that in all games from now it.
Will check out later in the bat cave.
I wasn't a huge fan of tekken 7 but one thing I did love was treasure battle. I wish they would've brought that back.
👍🏼

I haven’t been able to put this game down since I bought it at launch yesterday. There is something for everyone to dive into here.
Enjoying playing with my main, Reina. It is incredible playing Tekken 8. This is my big introduction to Tekken and it's a blast compared to MK1 and SF6.
Reina is so fun! I never liked the Mishima style, but man her version is so satisfying to use
I honestly enjoy the "easy " control settings you can turn on and off. It makes the skill gap between friends who just want to have friendly comp, and lets you feel competent at the game without dumping hours into game play. Haven't mainlined many fighters but I enjoy goofing around in practice and the arcade/story is a challenge. I've been on the fence about buying sfvi for a while, but this was a no-sell for me. Plus I wanted to try out my new hitbox and aracde stick lol
Tekken 8 actually does simplify things, but in a smart way You can use single-command their extensions instead of memorizing long commands for chain throws, or if you do/did it in previous games - you can apply the harder input to squeeze extra damage Throw breaks are now shown in move list, basic throws are still easy to break since Tekken 7 Instant run input seems to be much easier Reina - one of the more/most complex characters in the series, has simplified inputs for wavedash, but keeps the true Mishima-style inputs and adds fancy electric sparks to her feet if you use the harder input This new special style can be toggled midfight, turning the controls more akin to spectacle-fighter games/brawlers with one button(can be chained with itself and others+directions) for attacks, one for juggles one for throws and do on The move list shows a lot more details about moves and previously hidden extensions/special inputs/extra descriptions etc. Frame data is there too, along with pretty good screen for move nuances Arcade Quest is basically a tutorial with shitty/cheesy story(the good stuff is in main story mode) Game is hard AF, more could be done, don't get me wrong, but it's a lot more beginner-friendly now
Ngl I don't typically play fighting games but you guys made it sound very enticing for a beginner who wants to get into it
I wish they would bring back scenario mode. I loved that
Same it’s so unique
I am a perpetual beginner. Tekken 3 was my first fighting game, and one of the first games I ever played. Since then I've gotten most of the Tekken games out of nostalgia more than anything else as I don't typically play much of any fighting game, but I get every Tekken and spend a few months with it before moving on. I enjoy them, but fighting games are generally not for me. Saying all of that, I am not an expert at all, however I have found Tekken 8 super easy to pick up compared to the others. Playing as the new character Reina, it was amazing to me how intuitive she is to play. Just a bit of button mashing, and a few looks at the move list and I was able to start stringing together combos and it made me feel like I was good at the game. I can see myself sticking with Tekken 8 much longer than the others. I may even get into online this time around. TLDR: BUY THIS FUCKIN GAME RIGHT NOW!
The easiest way to get good is to watch pro players play and then imitate the moves they do. It's much more fun than sitting in practice mode for hours, at least to me. That's how I picked up Marduk in Tekken 7 and got to gold ranks in a month. 😂
Hows the game holding up 1 month later? I'm thinking about getting it, not sure though.
@@Deflection 100% worth getting.
The only thing missing for me is those short replays after rounds, I get it if people find them annoying but it would be so cool to have them as an option in offline battles. Tekken 8 is a truly masterpiece, best fighting game in years
The absolute craziest thing for me is you commenting on the rocket fish and I said a long time ago (tag tournament 2ish I’m 30) I said if they add a gun fish for Akuma or Panda (Hwoarang main) I’m running from this game. Yet here I am, running right back to it lol

The online mode is best through the main menu. I've had trouble getting matches in Arcade Quest. But online is up and running strong!
The addition of tekken ball immediately reminded me of the tekken 3 beat em up mode. I don't recall if it was actually good, but I really loved it as a kid

@@Gatorade69 What you getting so irritated for mate? 😅 It's all good. From my experiences when I relive a remaster or new version of a childhood memory it has not once held up to it and has partially ruined the memory. I think yours is a fair perspective as well, good to get both sides.
PS I would recommend getting the demo as it sealed it for me. Sure it's probably a great game but for me personally it was best to keep it a memory, you might like it though 👌
Really like it but, the camera going in and out all for most of the attacks is annoying to me, is there an option to turn that off?
Got some very fond PS2 Tekken memories, when they implemented the side step into the gameplay some of the combo's were immensely satisfying to pull off 😊

So excited to go grab this and a second controller today. I didnt get to try out my favorite characters in the demo so im finally gonna get the chance.
Hey this is me "Random Guy" in the comments of before you buy to tell you that the game is worth the buy but even tho it may seems obvious to some, for those of you who may not have played the demo or had no access to their main in the demo, some combos you may have perfected in previous titles may not work. Had to change up my Lili a bit and you might have to too. So drop in the training unless you wanna figure it out in mid match
I have been gaming for over 30 years now😅 but i wish i could enjoy fighting games! But I can’t keep the combos in my head😅 my brain just blacks out when playing.. looks incredible! But i gave up ever getting good at these games. I hope everyone enjoys them!

haven't played since t3 and have called the game quits back in 2016, just fun watching tekken tournaments now. excited what good ass tekken we will have in this game
It really is
It's not much but ,until you can get the game, you can check out the demo to get a feel of things.
Thanks for the heads up about online. I think I'll wait to buy it. Great review!
ive been subbed for 6 years and the before you buys never get old 🔥🔥
its impressive that theyve made it look exactly like 7, graphics wise
yeah, this is the age of the reskin. all the cool kids are doing it.

As someone who isn't big on online pvp fighting games. I am enjoying the story of the arcade quest mode. Unlocking ALL of the cosmetics in game i've seen is by completing challenges which is nice. There's an easy mode that helps do things like certain combos if you don't know the characters and want to enjoy the main storyline. Individual stories with each character too. Practice modes have really cool save states and ways to save replays of fights you can go back into.
It's only 6-8 hours of content, why lie? There's 2 games out that are much better for single player.
I miss that Tekken bowling
Harada always goes in with the jokes and the outrageous things each character can look like and do. It's always better when something that doesn't make sense be the highlight of any character you choose.
Jun is back and I'm hyped
Same! I haven't played her since TTT, fun learning all her new moves!
@@InitialDL84 new moves? Dude you're killing me here. I can only get the game at the end of the month and I am even avoiding the demo so I can go in fresh. But new moves? Hot damn can it be January 30 already? Please. Like now.
@@krystaldragons6040 hold on strong! You'll have it in no time!
@@InitialDL84 Thanks bud
MICROTRANSACTED BATTLE PASS WITH EIGHT TIMES THE PRICE.
I’m going to be a Victor main now. I used to switch between Jack and Zafina but this guy feels so nice to use.
Couldn't wait to watch the Before You Buy after I bought this game in December 🎉 Thank y'all for uploading
Jin vs kazuya in this game goes hard
The character customization kind of sucks to be honest.
They did make it less complex on a few fronts though. For example... You used to have to do more complex inputs on chain throws.... Now they have changed those to just one button lol. All that training for nothing. You can literally just button mash and you'll complete the chain.
That started getting easier in Tekken 7.
I mean it's kind of the same, idk if you use a fight stick or not, but on controller it felt the same to press either 1 or 1+2
No Eddie or Christie? No dice..
Are you kidding why would anyone want Eddy back? its not like he was the most unique coolest stylish character in all of tekken that anyone could pick up and play.
I'm actually surprised they launched the game with both cross-play and rollback together. Some fighting games launched either have only one or the other or add them post launch months after but not both. MK1 doesn't even have both and it's fairly new although there was news that it will add cross-play this year. I'm glad SF6 and Tekken8 launched with both of these. Hopefully this will become a sort of a standard for upcoming new fighting games.
It’s hard because of the button input for combos. 1. It isn’t like smash bros where you press a button and the character immediately attacks. 2. In Tekken it’s more of a “programmed input” where you press ALL buttons in a combo and then watch the character do the combo. 3. If YOU DO NOT quickly press all the buttons in the combo, then you’ll get that single punch or single kick button reaction like in smash bros. It really is an action game under the guise of a fighter.
Games is awesome:) takes some getting used to some differences in character moves, mainly rearranging of certain buttons for moves but every move is there in some way shape or form..
Me as a Bob Main 😭
Some characters are missing in tekken 8 fir the first time I never thought Namco would remove characters from a tekken game like capcom is doing with their street fighter games instead of adding more characters their deleting more characters everyone should know Jin’s grand father is one of them I don’t like how Paul looks like in tekken 8
Tekken games often remove characters between entries, what are you waffling about? Heihaci is gone because Kazuya killed him in the last game.
@@mallow2902please then tell me who was missing in tekken 7 after tekken 6 I don’t remember anyone missing all I remember is more fighters got added it’s fine removing characters from the story but in arcade mode or online that’s stupid I agree removing characters is the most dumbest thing namco is doing
@@mikekanner2156 just look at the character page on the Tekken wiki. Characters get added, removed, and re-added all the time in this series. Did you forget about Tekken 3 where nearly the entire old cast was swapped out for new characters?
@@mallow2902 well removing famous characters is a different level but removing characters that nobody really cares about were added from other games is not a surprise you didn’t expect Akuma to return back to tekken 8 he’s a capcom character not a namco fighter there was also a final fantasy character that was removed and a SNK fighter these are fine to be removed nobody’s complaining about characters that doesn’t belong to tekken were talking about characters that belongs in tekken one of them is Jin’s grandfather Hehachi removing him makes it look stupid
Tekken introduced me into the arm bar 💪
Thank you for this. I went to buy this off the strength of your video and the Tekken name. :)
0:45 they arn't complex. And im kinda tired of people perpetuating this nonsense. Its very easy to pick a character, learn a couple moves, and go into a match to play. They are complex as you want them to be. You wana just mash with friends there is nothing complex about that. You wana go online? not complex either considering you fight people around your skill. You wana learn more do it. its not complex, its an investment
I pre-ordered this back in November and I conclude best money spent ever.
What about toilet paper or food or gas or ultra realistic goblin sexdolls
T8 is amazing! Just miss my main, but loving it. By the way, online already got fixed.
I believe was in a previous tekken but one of my favorite characters he just has a scary cool vibe
Heihachi in Tekken 7: Grizzled Old Man Heihachi in Tekken 8: 18 Year Old Purple Haired Girl...
