Ive gotten into Tekken 8 recently. It is my first fighting game ever. It has been a fun challenge learning things in game. I have to day that your channel has made learning the game much more manageable and enjoyable! Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work!
not having photomode in replay is a massive missed opportunity. Also one thing he failed to mention which I think.is really important they said you can buy coins in 300 point amounts now which is a significant compromise because the costumes from memory are exactly 300, so they aren't scumming you to spend more money than you need anynore a practise in the videogane industry I think should be illegal.
@@iamhalal. that's a difference between something pleasant to look at and what we have right now. The best thing would be them giving us an option to change the character displayed in the menu. They cannot release this change too soon.
Just throwing more positive feedback into the comments section. Really enjoy the timestamps and breakdown, even the chapters to make it super easy to navigate. would watch more..
Just wanna say man, you’re very articulate and convey your thoughts and intended thoughts of others very well. Proud of your progress Phi. Keep that shit up.
For TWT finals, Harada clarified on twitter that players who do not qualify out of the day 1/2 Global and Regional round robin will be able to enter the LCQ on day 3. Which personally I love cause it makes the LCQ even crazier
Phi, you are the master at analysis. I didn't want to watch the full 2 hour livestream. Woke up to find this amazing bread crumb of into with timestamps and I watched everything in MY order. Outfits, battle pass, tekken ball info and THEN I watched the part about Lidia's play style.
Thanks for the breakdown Phi! I ended up falling asleep during the Live, so I missed most of it. Will need to go back and watch it all when I get a chance but appreciate this abbreviated video on it.
@@ShivKumar-w5m4c your "bottom tier" doesnt mean anything unless you are playing high level tekken, tiers wont mattering whatsoever until you get to tekken king and above.
@@daxia0 tiers don't really even matter at Tekken King. I think it's more about player play style compatibility to a character and the mental stack required to pilot them correctly
Both me and my gf really don’t want swimsuits. It’s gross, I don’t beach and I really don’t get off in seeing people in swimwear 😅 you people wouldn’t have been able to handle being me in my fashion degree years having to touch up models and draw naked people all the time. Y’all would have constant nosebleeds
I'm personally sceptical of the behavioural fixes myself especially ones that squash player creativity and freedom. In most games this is handled poorly or at least nowhere near as maticulously as it should be but if Tekken 8 hasnt proven that they have the adaptability and development skill to make these decisions with the players interest in mind then I dont know what can. A perfect example can be made with the steve peekaboo cancel. The manovour itself wasnt that big an issue, it had difficult execution, it provided options outside of lionheart and helped shape the creativity of steves offence. While it was an "Unintended oversight" it served to highlight the glaring issue people had with steves moves that lock you into lionheart. Using this as an example allowed the developers to make a change to steves character providing players with a healthy alternative fix while leaving his core identity much the same. If this trend were to continue to be reflected across all behaviour and balance patches, I for one see a bright future for the Tekken scene.
At 42:11 love your content and you’re not failing miserably. I’ve always needed someone to explain tekken a little more clearly to me and this channel really helps. Good job bro 🫡💯🙏🏼
Free stages are pretty cool. Speaking cynically it’s probably just so people who have the DLC match up with non-DLC players and arent forced to not have access to the map, but still cool nonetheless.
I`m lost for words! there are alot of positives with the Lidia event! I dont agree with constantly making character designs simplified for the casuals, Thats telling me that Namco is more concened about selling DLCS and catering to the casuals that dont tend to last very long,, why the competive players are the ones that carry the legacy of tekken forward.. making characters easier isnt the answer to keeping players around longer it actually makes the players bored faster..
40:29 I agree... Back in Tekken 5, pros are more known with how their characters look like instead of how they actually look like since they have signature customs even in tourneys
I appreciate your work on walking all these details through for us. 😊 I just wanned to be able to learn puniches on replay without being obligated to buy the DLC character ...
kinda agree with kingjae, I feel like 4 character releases per year is quite low considering the number of characters that are left out in the base roster, many of which are fan favorites.
A lot of people were complaining about not knowing the release date for Lydia but let me say this. This game has a smaller development team but through long term leadership, customer experience oriented thought, and a real love for the game, they have done so well with Tekken 8. Let them take their time when we live in a time where these major studios with more resources do way less and don’t care about anything but sucking up our money
PhiDX is truly a man of the people because i fell asleep watching the original live showcase and I didn't wanna rewatch what I did watch already so a nice little summary while getting ready to go to work today is just what I needed. Thanks Phi!
Don't worry too much. Beginners aren't going to recognize that their opponent blocked it and go for their armor move, that's an upper intermediate to advanced technique. Beginners are struggling to launch most launch punishable moves, the hard mart would be recognizing that it's launch punishable without the stagger, but they should be able to take their turn regardless (but they are beginners so it's up in the air)
Them streamlining stance characters is the worst idea to ever exist. Characters like lei wulong are for people who perfected using those "useless" moves and making their own path. Tekken is going downhill
Wonderful video Phi! I skipped over the Lidia content as I’m not interested in the character. I’m glad I have early access to Lidia and will go through the Punishment Training to prepare for battle against her.
24:35 when Murray is saying "don't pay too much attention to the frames" I think he's directly addressing a lot of outcry in the stream chats. People are jumping to conclusions immediately rather than listening to what they have to say and then eventually learning things for themselves.
honestly hell yeah, the skate decks, and figurines and jewelry THAT'S how they should monetizing this shit, fuck the tekken shop, honestly just scrap that or rework it to offer fight coin purhcases at absurd prices, let me burn my fight coin on shit PLEASE
Thank you Phi 🙏. Tekken is definitely going in the right direction people complain about the abundance of “easy-ness” but we had to wait since 2010 for crossplay, Tekken is fun now, with an abundance of capable new players and veteran who offer coaching for low rank players. And the balance is good. Compared to games like sf6,mk1, and platform fighters!!!
Tekken is just trying to absorb MK1s leftover fandom for some extra cash, what bamco is presenting has yet to say if their new content will be in game money or outright battlepass/macrotransactions
Good info. Nice to have a free stage and photo mode . We can see the fan service with swimwear and the seaside resort borrowed from DOA. The Lidia mechanics will be dissected heavily relative to other karate characters like Jin.
She needs to be plus 5 to go in to her stance if that’s true why they didn’t fix Lee’s hitman stance when you close up on your opponent on block you automatically get hit out your stance and can’t crush anything unless your opponent mistimed your timing. Even Jin get hit out of his stance on block.
A small thing that kinda gets glossed over, harada is out here going to non-twt community events in Poland to see what the fans there want. I will not tolerate any harada slander in my presence
i do hope that this patch also fixes some technical issues. The game is literally unplayable on my pc right now because of polaris crashes. This while everything worked fine before. Switched to a ps5 for now to at least keep at it but hopefully that is being patched too.
Don't like the direction on Bamco leaning in on pick up and play characters. It really lacks in the depth department when it comes to gameplay.... like she's going to be Ms.2222222
I’ve said the same about eddy 3 spam. I can use it any time of course but once I know you’re looking for it, now we’re having a nice lil back and forth dance. If you’re mashing when I go to handstand stance-power crush. You’re blocking absolutely everything-ss3 or stance fake out. It’s fun
i20 crush low at +5 will hit in frame 15, so it will not CH a i10 jab. But it will CH jab string extensions. Double jabs would be risky. Single jab is fine. But I guess you could just dick jab instead to beat the low and the power crush, since the power crush is high. You might also get a whiff punish for Lidia’s power crush after dick jab. Jack’s stance high power crush is launch punish against dick jab. Depends on recovery time. Lidia seems to have jumping attacks in the stance. Dick jab is going to lose against those. Lidia ff2 seems quite similar to Reina’s. Long range (neutral solver) mid into mixup on block.

@via_negativa6183 bare minimum change but yes I hate this practice so much. Curse you fortnite
They mentioned the coins in the stream
The costume are 400 but if they’re on sale they will be 300.
So this change allows you to buy the pass cleanly but the costume issue still exists.
finally not eddy in the main menu
Finally, so tired of seeing him
just wait having lidia on the screen for the next million years
the main menu is a final boss now

When a TH-camr puts so much effort for his audience (making video chapters) it makes me feel good.
Thanks phidx for explaining the frame data on my dads attacks really game me the edge in the match up!
So excited to start learning another new character despite still being trash at my previous mains LMAO
Don't worry, you'll win most of the time anyways
I don't touch a character which requires multiple movements keys cause of that I only have 3-4 characters to learn eventhou they are bottom tier 🥲

The same swimsuit for all fighters, so everyone gonna see the same outfit and then quit the game.

Proceeds to send us back in time. 😂
Appreciate the thumbnail choice
Great job, Phi! Being on the other side of the globe, I was of course asleep, but this got me all covered. Thanks!

Don't know what I would do without your breakdowns Phi.

Phidx actually the goat. Appreciate the info always.
I do appreciate this type of content I would’ve never watched the trekked talk otherwise tbh
June 2025 lets go
Its actually coming even earlier at july phi said it wrong lol😅
EVO happening on my birthday weekend and Lidia releasing the week after, appreciate the birthday gifts! :P
Thanks for the breakdown phi my man
Summer wear “exists” = Tekken 8 10/10
I'm definitely cool with the stance transition changes, having played Lei since For_ever it just makes sense for the game.

Big win, no Eddy in main menu.
especially new Eddy with killmonger hair and makeup.
Almost shot my tv a few times

Can’t wait to try and learn her and me matched up with fujins cause of my tekken prowess.
“streamlining stance characters so they don’t turn off new players”: L3i Wulong incoming

It is Summer and they have been busy adding new things to the Game during this time so i think the wait will be worth it. 👊😎
doing god's work, phi
Damn we really reached the beach episode now :^)
Photo mode and Tekken Ball training before online training is insane. Did they just forget that was supposed to be a thing?
thank you phillip
Find a person who looks at you the way Phi looks at Lidia in the main menu screen 45:21
44 seconds ago is refreshing
Thanks Professor 🫡🫡
Wonderful video Phi! I skipped over the Lidia content as I’m not interested in the character. I’m glad I have early access to Lidia and will go through the Punishment Training to prepare for battle against her.
🤡
Phidx should take over tekken talk and get the dlc character early. Phidx would make a more entertaining tekken talk
I'm a jin main and I'm gonna main Lidia. I feel like with the stance styles, they are similar
4:14 I have a Jin and a Heihachi figure from Tekken 3 who look just as good as these new ones, which is crazy.
Oh yes, a Yoshi main menu would be 🔥
And this is why these things should prerecorded. Information dispersement should be done in a well organized manner
I wouldn’t mind a longer vid🤷🏽♂️
24:35 when Murray is saying "don't pay too much attention to the frames" I think he's directly addressing a lot of outcry in the stream chats. People are jumping to conclusions immediately rather than listening to what they have to say and then eventually learning things for themselves.
people are rightly concerned because Lidia is too much plus on block. Its like they are making the new characters dumber and stronger
honestly hell yeah, the skate decks, and figurines and jewelry THAT'S how they should monetizing this shit, fuck the tekken shop, honestly just scrap that or rework it to offer fight coin purhcases at absurd prices, let me burn my fight coin on shit PLEASE
i'm assuming you will have to purchase lidia to watch replays of her? Like with Eddy?

Good info. Nice to have a free stage and photo mode . We can see the fan service with swimwear and the seaside resort borrowed from DOA. The Lidia mechanics will be dissected heavily relative to other karate characters like Jin.
Oddly enough, the reason i look forward to Lidia is because she moves 95% like Hitomi.
I can understand streamlining it for new players but now actual good Tekken players will abuse the stance flow to do crazy stuff at higher levels
Nice
😊
Nice. 😁
cliff notes namco didn’t fix shit. Their online is still trash. and expect all dlc characters to be broken upon release.

LMFAO we dvj mains AINT GETTING SHIT until after august
EU not getting the shirts is tilting me to the max m8. I was looking for some nice kazumi merch for years now and my region doesnt get it
Still a little upset we getting photo mode before online training mode and other practice improvements. They priority’s there got me a lil confused
HAE being heat only is a bummer
A lot of the stuff that was said to be launch punishable the frame data didnt show that so Im wondering is the frame data in the video wrong or not
Forced stance makes it less safe. Check the IGN video!
Call me the moment they heavily nerf the ultimate moves. to like 1/5 HP dmg per move.
