Just re-introduced my brother to Tekken over Christmas, we started with Tekken 3 when we were wee lads. We made sure his daughter was around because she was about the same age when we started, and of course she asked to play and proceeded to win matches against two very out of practice millennials. Made me very happy
@laverdadescatolica5Sf and MK moves are just not real. Who in the regular human world can throw a fireball? You don't see Jin throwing a fireball. Tekken is more technical than sf and mk. Each button is either left hand, right hand, left leg, and right leg.
Tekken is more successful/popular than street fighter. Mortal kombat is the biggest fighting game franchise overall, but the big 3 are mortal kombat, Tekken, and street fighter. The remaining fighting franchises haven’t sold anywhere near those titles. I just wanted to clarify for you, because you initially opened the video talking about MK and SF as if they’re on a different level from Tekken. And that simply is not the case. Tekken is considered one of the “big 3”.
Was gunna address the same thing! Tekken is big 3 and has to be the single fighting game they've always come in and 1 up'd the previous one too (1-8) . Can't say the same about MK or Streetfighter but Tekken has delivered since Tekken 1 and improved.
To be fair Tekken 7 sold a shit ton of copies I think because they put Akuma in there which brought in a whole new fanbase. Adding Geese also pulled in some KOF players. I know it made it easier for me to enjoy the franchise more as a SF player when Tekken’s move sets was always a challenge for me to get the hang of. I wish there’d been another guest character on day 1 from another franchise here.
@@mikeg2491Amukusa. Since they brought out the villians from SF and Fatal Fury, why not bring out Samurai Shodown. Or better yet, from Sega Virtual Fighter, Tecmo Dead or Alive, or Xbox Killer Instinct.
Haven’t played tekken since PlayStation 2. Definitely thinking about picking this up. Mortal Kombat 1 ain’t cutting it. Starting to feel like a chore playing Mortal Kombat I just gotta sayyyy! I am LOVING Tekken 8. It is so refreshing! It is challenging. Especially considering I haven’t played it in over 10+ years. But practicing truly pays off. The practice mode is the best I’ve seen in any fighting game by far. I am also in love with the soundtrack. The move list in this game is ridiculously good! The controls are also so responsive and tight! The graphics are AMAZING! The stages are memorable. So much to be said about this amazing game. Recommend👍
I think Street Fighter 6 is overrated also, whereas Tekken 7 was such a great game, I clocked 450 hours in it. Tekken 8 feels like an improvement on T7
My mom introduced me to Tekken when I was 11. Now my daughter is 4 and is already playing the demo when she gets to play games. Generation gaming! Can’t wait
@AleksandarBloom Too be fair, tag games are disappointing which is why I think MK1 is getting a lot of flack as well. It's very hard to balance 1v1 with that many characters let alone adding in a tag with extra characters makes balancing all the more daunting....
Played like 10 hours of Tekken 8 so far in SP mode(s) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Tekken was never really in bad form but this entry is a huge high-point in the franchise. A complete triumph. Also, I love how all the pillars of the fighting game genre are going strong these days. Can't really go wrong with any of those (although Tekken has reclaimed the throne for me personally).
Tekken looks and plays better than the latest MK and Street Fighter in my opinion. Those two were a bit disappointing to me !! I’m hoping I enjoy Tekken better 😂 I can’t wait !
Saying Tekken 8 is a grand comeback seems to be a bit of an overstatement compared to Tekken 7, which sold amazingly, played amazingly and doesn’t feel too dissimilar from 8
Better than sf6. No greedy dlcs no mtx sf6 sells you colors 15 dollar costumes and even classic songs are locked behind money. Tekken has free jukebox gives you access to all music game has customization and all costumes unlockable no need to buy any dlc etc
@@ianprescott7924 th-cam.com/video/IHDmrFgggFg/w-d-xo.html I am not sure if you are trolling or what? I mean several interviews already exist from developers including Harada mentioning the name.
So im told in online custom rooms with friends, we CANNOT spectate fights. So is there ANY other way my friends can watch me and other friends fight in that whatever fight lobby that they added??? This seems to be a BIZARRE thing to leave out: not being able to watch friends fight!!
@@real.silencewench he doesn't need to bring anything to the story... Out of the 32 characters on the roster, are all of them bringing something significant to the story, or is it just the Mishima's?

But for some reason they've still not added TEAM BATTLE back in, as far as I can tell. Why they'd remove such an iconic offline feature is beyond me, it had always been there and it was by far the best way to play locally with friends. As someone who doesn't give a crap about online play, T7 was a major step down and this, while seemingly not as bad, doesn't look like it'll be worth picking up over TTT2
what a shame... an other review that do not talk about the accessibility options such as screen reader or audio description...i really hope a good amount of accessibility options to be present .
I'm sorry, MK1/SF6 fans, but Tekken 8 fucked everyone and Harada surpassed himself! - Excellent "completion" of the Gin arch, in places even to goosebumps and tears ... - Cutscenes at the movie level, it is clear that the budget has been invested, and the battle on the meteorite is like watching an epic anime finale - New characters for the roster, they are unlikely to be played, but I liked Reina (I did not expect a twist with her) and Leo - The graphics and special effects are crazy, especially at the moment of the fight between Jin and Kazuya against the background of a storm, but just how raindrops fall on the bodies of the fighters can already be appreciated - The soundtrack itself is as always on top - The combat system has become even more convenient I don't know how it will be with the network code and online, but I just wish good luck to Namko and Harada with this masterpiece...(for me, the 5th part will always remain my favorite)
Never been a huge Tekken fan but I do enjoy watching the tournaments. With that said I am really happy for the die hard Tekken fans. From one fighting game player to another, this shit is fiiire!!! WTF, I might have to bag this one 😂

Panda is the mc of the series
You can be happ to see a character return to see them get there ass beat it's perfectly fine😂

Look at the ranks. He's either playing developers or other reviewers.

Yeah I brought Tekken 8 and delete MK1, hope I can learn fast

Been a fan since Tekken 2, all I can say is I’m so happy Jun is finally back, this was an instant preorder.
I can’t wait for tekken 8 it’s going to be amazing
Tekken has come along way since I played the orginal in the arcades.
Tekken is a pillar too, you know. Anyway, I cannot wait for this!
Man I'm old. I remember playing Tekken on the arcade cabinet with Law and just dominating randoms, watching them donate their quarters. I cannot wait!
Indeed,the greatest achievement of your life as a scrub was beating 2 kids that played the game for the first time.😊
@SpectralSound89 🤣 ACTUALLY I was maybe 9, and I whipped the guy that was holding down the cabinet. Back flips for days lol

TEKKEN THE GOAT
Been obsessed with Tekken since 1995! Best fighting game ever.
I was not expecting the spoilers in this review
Fan here since Tekken 1! Has it really been 30 years??? 😭
Time is flying it's scary 🤣
Never played a bad Tekken game going back to 1995 I am pre-ordering the ultimate edition

I hated T6.
TEKKEN TAG WAS 🔥
It got a 9/10 rating in case you missed it.
2 days left guys get ready for the next battle!!
Game looks great to be honest
Been a fan since Tekken 2. This is great 👍
That Reina sequence at 5:57 was pretty sick, and gave me some Lidia vibes which is great since she was my main in Tekken 7.
Yeah I felt that too 👍
Super hyped can’t wait for Thursday!
Me on a marathon of tekken 8 reviews on ytube 😂
Havent played a Tekken game since Tekken 5.,..this gsme seems like it may be up there in rankings
You didn't miss out on much. T5 was a gold standard that they have been unable to replicate since.
The story is just AMAZING FR.. Especially the 2 post credits scene.

Cant wait for this banger
Getting huge Tekken 3 vibes, in every sense of the word here. Like this game feels like an event exactly like Tekken 3 felt.
Damn, before I read your comment I had been reminiscing about Tekken 3 after this release!
Would’ve been nice to see the beach ball, instead of a black sphere.
@@romanumeralz ahh they will expand this no doubt about it.
Old Vet coming home. I’m glad I waited on Tekken instead of jumping at MK or SF6. Tekken 8 doesn’t disappoint for us old fans starting anew.

No

Better than sf6. No greedy dlcs no mtx sf6 sells you colors 15 dollar costumes and even classic songs are locked behind money. Tekken has free jukebox gives you access to all music game has customization and all costumes unlockable no need to buy any dlc etc

IGN review shows that this feature is indeed left out.
So no Tekken Force then?
Heihachi in Tekken 7: Grizzled old man
Heihachi in Tekken 8: 18 year old purple haired girl
Good job repeating the meme
I hope they do something similar with Jinpachi, and Wang.
Please bring back Bruce Irvin.
Will there be an online review for netcode when it launches?
Where is Lei Wulong?
I don’t even consider this Tekken without Heihachi Mishima.
I almost feel the same way about Bruce Irvin not being in any Tekken game. But then again, I'm old...

did Jin just performed a different rage art or I'm just imagining stuff haha
bring back Bloody Roar!
this might be the move.. who made bloody roar? xbox might need to do something with that while they are making killer instinct 2
I've been saying this for about 10 years lol
The question is do we earn money for customization in online batlle?
Yes

Tekken is the goat of fighting games. Then Street fighter. FUCK midtal Kombat
sf6 is my first fighter and its amazing and I doubt this game will be better but based on how the beta feels I will pick it up
When I think of fighting games Tekken is for sure in the first 3 games I think of idk wtf you talking about... we grew up on tekken 2 and 3.
