I didn't like him at first in the comic but they used his show appearance.
He was a polarizing character in his own series.
Also yes Tifa would be good.
New update brought back people. I'm not good as far as REAL Tekken players go and I've been stomping wtf. Heihachi's who do jab jab jab and throw.

Man, the new fighting pass is actually motivating me to play offline after getting the 100 Tekken Coins. Those rewards are hideous!
P.S. I will buy the stage when they drop the price during a sale just like I will with DLC characters that are not Heihachi. I was actually contemplating getting the Deluxe DLC key for ~$30 but the stage not being included finalized my decision.

That story mode addition was so useless and bad. I think they should just ditch this story format and go back to how it used to be during the PS2 era. These devs can't tell a proper dialouge-heavy story. Seeing Lidia spout the same kindergarten pep talk for the billionth time was embarrassing.
Trying out Heihachi, he seems extremely potent. Maybe online players just aren't used to the match up yet.

I am honestly more triggered with that awesome downtown map being bloated with ads now, more than the paid stage. Is there a single monetization scheme they haven't introduced yet? How can these devs even pretend to care about Tekken when they so easily sell it out for some quick buck on the side? The average mobile F2P game is less shameless than T8.
On the plus side, Heihachi is fun. I don't like his stance switching and neither that round 3 super saiyan mode. But besides that he's a real solid character. I'll try to learn him some more.

Doesn't bother me to be fair, the actual Times Square is just the same.

Yeah it completely ruins the aesthetics of that map. It's so bad now.
I'm more annoyed by how tasteless and low quality it is. Like the billboards are of very low resolution and it looks so stupid having Kazuya and Jin's faces plastered IN-GAME to Nike. And it's the same ad plastered all over the stage, with nothing else in sight. I think it's in bad taste and shameless how little they seem to care about the game's visual cohesion and internal logic.
But I don't want to sound too much of a downer and can say that Heihachi is so much better than Eddy and Lidia as DLC. His game plan is pretty fun and the stances are mostly used for combo extensions. The warrior instinct thing I tend to just ignore.

I have to share this.
Brings back the stage to its former glory. I didn't buy a game with Nike ads on it.
Nikeless Urban Square (pre 1.08 version)
Returning Urban Square to its original pre 1.08 patch state by replacing all the Nike ads on stage with their vanilla counter...

In a surprising turn of events, Namco Bandai is adding a free stage to Season Pass and giving out 500 Tekken Coins for logging in between October 29th and November 26th!

So they were too afraid of the backlash of season pass holders who bought that stage already.
Well, I take that "decent"-card right back...

As I try to make Lee work, this Arslan Ash tier list lives rent free in my head:
*All of his running attacks are risky and his armored stuff is more miss than hit. Even his hitman stance transitions are screwing up my momentum. Every day I miss Violet's jumping front kicks more.

I don't know how Steve is A+ character? He should belong in trash tier.
Personal ranking: I would put King in A+ tier instead of Steve. Shaheen should be in S tier.
Jin should has his own tier. He's too OP right now just like Dragunov before nerf.
People still sleeping on Leo. He is very strong character.
Funny how Azucena went from S tier character to trash tier. They nerfed her real bad.

The funniest part of Azucena's nerfs was the main problem was just her running 3, 2.
Slothbeingg

If they nerf Azucena while running 3,2 from +6 on block to +2 on block, They should nerf every moves that +5,6,7 too. Jin even has +15 on block when near wall. Wtf is that shit.
Tekken 8 is just not fun to play when you have to block all that shit and guess what move opponent will do next. And the chip dmg is too high. Block for few seconds and 1/2 your health bar is gone lmao.
TheDuskwalker
Member
Wasn't just that +6, the running 3 jailed, and the 2 had tracking on top of being +6 on block. The pressure you could put on your opponent with it was nuts.
Anyway, yeah Jin's +15 can go fuck itself.

Ah yes, jailed moves, another problem of Tekken 8.
I seriously don't know why they decided to put more jailed moves in game. It usually some useless moves in previous Tekken, but now it's just straight up annoying when you know it's low-high string but you can't duck the second move. And it isn't punishable unless you can block the first hit which is just pure guess.
Tekken 8 is just a casino game at this point.

I have the opposite problem. Bread and butter combos that used to jail instead leave room to get wrecked. It also annoys me when direct follow up attacks fail to connect after a successful hit like in the case of Claudios b+4,4 (sidekick to genocide cutter)...

I couldn't resist and ended up buying this game. Is Rage Art OP, or is it just an easy to avoid noob move? This is the first time I've encountered a situation where getting beaten up has an advantage.

It's always blockable, some go low but that's about it; the only way to combo into a rage art is from a juggle.
Slothbeingg

I'm not sure I understand you correctly since I don't know much about Claudio, but I think you talked about guaranteed mini combo? Which is different to jailed moves like Alisa d4,1+2; Azucena df 1,2...

It's a listed combination with a mid leading to a launch. The launch part gets blocked most of the time despite the initial hit connecting though.
There could be something at the TGAs (Dec. 12) as they made it clear that no character would be revealed at the Tekken 8 Finals this weekend. They did promise content which might be linked with a fighting pass on the other hand.

Kuma's insane chip damage, headbutts and electrics more than make up for poor movement. With that said, definitely not a top tier pick like Jin or Dragunov.Rangchu used Kuma win again Jin and Dragunov is crazy. Dude's a beast!!
I hope for S2 we get roster wide nerfs across the board. The huge amount of moves and generally how risk free aggression is, makes the game a huge pain to learn defense in. And sadly they are intent on adding even MORE moves in S2. It's just not what the game needs right now. If anything there needs to be less moves and huge dialing back on heat being auto mixup button.

Insane chip damage, insane combo damage but yeah his movement is so poor. But my man use Kuma to side step Drag , what a mad lad!!
Also my main Anna finally show up. Can't wait to TGA to see her again!
Klosshufvud

I interpreted it as Anna being S2 (probably DLC#1) with TGA reveal being the final S1 reveal. Which I personally believe is going to be a guest character since I don't see why else bother throwing cash at Geoff Keighley for exposure otherwise. Some believe it's Mortal Kombat guest character since Harada has made some weird MK references on twitter. I doubt it's going to be Anna shown either way.

Idk. Harada said no guest character in year 1 so there's still hope. But at this point his words do not hold weight anymore.

I hope the new fighting pass drops before the 12th as I will be playing The King of Fighters XV with Mature and Vice DLC dropping that day. I also hope there is no time conflict with Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. either when that releases.

This avatar shit they brought in with this and SF 6 is such a waste of time, along with those crap character options they're putting in. Put in some proper outfits and I might be inclined to spend some extra money, but not for shit tshirts that dont even fit the characters properly.

Shame how little love and effort is put into preserving Tekken's legacy.
Yup. I really believed they would add classic Tekken games in the arcade lobbies but no. Not even that. Tekken 5 celebrated its 10th anniversary with way better treats. Even including arcade T1, T2 and T3 in the game.

At the very least, bare minimum, throw the arcade ROM of Tekken 1 in there and just have it run under an emulation wrapper like the Yakuza games do with their arcade stuff.

No thank you. Tekken 1 is horrible. I would rather have the weird mobile Galaga version with Tekken characters.
