It is a great time to be alive as a decade-longing Tekken fan. The treatment they gave T8 mirrors TTT2 with small details like unique interactions, references, and so much opportunities for combos due to its mechanics.

Tekken 8 is SO MUCH FUN bro, it’s so good to be a fighting game fan these days, I’m feasting with this and Street Fighter 6

I came back to Tekken after 18-19 years, the last one I played was Tekken 5 on the PS2. Tekken 8 has been a blast to play. I bought an arcade stick recently, because of how good the game is, and I am super looking forward to playing Tekken with it.

Tekken is that one fighting game that even if u don't play it, you'll understand how cool it is when u watch the match

[azuresaiyan]

Both SF and TK are at their best this Gen.

I enjoyed MK1 but didn’t do anything past story mode. Just didn’t care about really playing more. I was hesitant to pick up T8 as I am not very good at fighting games and haven’t played a tekken since 3. So glad I picked it up. Most fun I’ve had with a fighting game in ages. So much so I even hopped online to fight other players. Despite losing a ton, I’ve still been loving it and can’t wait to play more. Still haven’t gone through story mode though!

This is the best Tekken has been, ever since the days of Tekken 5.

Tekken 8 is the best Tekken ever made in my opinion

[brobocops]

Been playing Tekken for decades, Tekken 8 feels so good, great gameplay, tons of content and features, great netcode, hope this sells like crazy so the series can continue to grow.

I feel the same way about Tekken 8 as I did about SF6. I had stopped having fun with both franchises and thought "Well maybe I'm just not a Street Fighter or a Tekken player anymore" but then when I played SF6 I was hooked immediately. A good way for me to tell if I'm having fun with a fighting game is if I try characters I normally don't care about. In SF I ended up trying Ryu and Guile which I never would have done.

Fast forward and I have been a Bob main in Tekken since he debuted but I don't have him in this game yet so I had a character crisis. Or so I thought, because every character I tried out was just fun to use. I settled on Asuka who I would NEEEVER have picked in any other Tekken.

IMHO we currently have the best Street Fighter and Tekken games we've ever seen and they came out within a year of each other. New golden age of fighting games indeed.

I've been playing fighting games since the late 80's, Tekken 8 is the first fighting game since SF4 that feels truly special. Tekken 1, 2, 5 on the Jukebox, they're banging.

[Darukinesu]

Really glad to see how amazing both Tekken 8 and SF6 are, outstanding times for both 3D and 2D fighting game fans

[flissflossgaming]

Pretty sure I'm going to buy Tekken 8 as my first fighting game in 20+ years. I remember beating Tekken 2 with all of the characters as a kid and one of my favorite things was the ridiculous CG endings that we got for each character. I'm excited to do that again with this roster

Max’s enthusiasm in this video is everything

[BigDaddyWes]

I'm thrilled Tekken is getting the respect it deserves.

This is a ''Don't ask Harada for shit'' out of 10

[SSJ_EWGF]

Tekken 8 absolutely knocked out out of the park. The gameplay feels buttery smooth, visuals look out of this world in unreal engine 5, and a story mode looks to be the best ever came out of the fighting game genre.

The netcode was even improved from the beta, a rare cry from most AAA games nowadays. Plus with all the train options along with can see of ghost battles there's just so much you can do for any type of player. It's insane. Everything feels well thought out and actually worthy of a modern game. It might very well just be the best Tekken, if not one of the greatest fighting games ever released.

The fact that we're not even a weekend in and we've already seen a whole variety of different customization options for different characters that go from movie stars to various gaming icons to such a specific, accurate degree goes to show how much replayability and creativity this game allows us, despite the fact that we all seemingly thought the customization options were disappointing compared to the past entries.

After Street fight 6's recent monetization issues and Mortal Kombat 1s... _everything, _ it's great to see the last of the big three deliver a fine game that truly deserves to be called AAA. The bar for fighting games and 2024 gaming has yet again been raised, and I'm excited for the future.



Now please Harada, put Tifa and Yuji Itadori in the game I'm begging you.

Haven't touched a Tekken game since Tekken 3 but while watching your playthrough I can definitely see the quality and effort that was put into this 8th entry. The amount of work dedicated to cinematics in the story mode alone is pretty insane. Made me want to pick it up and try it out for myself as a filthy casual.

[Yazkaron]

I played alot MK11 and MK1, but man, Tekken 8 is so much fun it's almost unreal. Labbing with Reina and then jumping into online battles was the best thing ever. I love the complexity of this game. I dont even mind losing against other, better players. Sorry but Warner Brothers can kiss my .... This is my main game now. I LOVE IT

[mrinferno]

Dude Tekken 5 DR was my first Tekken and one of my favourites along side tag 2. So hearing it's back to that level again is amazing to hear can't wait to play it.
