Blocking in Tekken 8 feels like Tag 2 a little to me, you can't afford to let go of block for a split second when doing something like a backdash or sidestep or you risk getting clipped by something. Tekken 7 definitely felt more lenient when it came to blocking overall IMO
Unbelievable, I qualified for the Esports World Cup on the winners side at
#DHSummer
! I've dreamed of being on a stage as big as this and can't wait to play more fun Tekken games with the best in the world! Thanks everyone for your love and support! Now to rest for Top 8!
Wanted to look into the "Strong Aerial Spin" property in T8. These are all the moves that seem to do it, those who know can understand that some characters benefit from this state more than others due to move viability. (N/A means character lacks it or I couldn't find it)
What I think could potentially happen to the Tekken 8 roster, obviously not accounting for newcomers as we don't know how many will debut in 8. Feel free to agree or disagree.
Didn't stream it, but I did it. Not that I care for stats, but I guess I'm the first Yoshi in the world to do it! Now to enjoy some more games, because the grind never stops!
So with the base roster of T8 now revealed to all, and the mess of leaks related to it over and done with, it'll be interesting to see the overall reception toward it, as there are more legacy omissions than before.
I just lost my Grandad... I've never known a more gentle and loving soul in my life. We didn't get to interact much when I was an adult, but I'll always cherish my childhood memories of him, and at least I got to see him one last time yesterday before the end. Love you, Grandad.
Funny how people think Yoshi going back to T7 Flash hitbox and losing his Heat relaunch oki from ff2:2 is crippling. It's not. He's still capable of doing disgusting oki from a variety of situations. Plus the other NSS buffs he got in this game make him stupidly strong still.
It's honestly sad people are ripping into him because they firmly believe he won't replicate his T7 success without Akuma. SA can play Tekken well without him. And even if they end up being correct, who cares? Leave the guy alone because this is just sad behaviour.
Recently I've gotten lots of negative comments about Akuma and it's weird at this point. Tekken7 is over, he's gone. he's not coming back. PTSD is mad, your nightmare is over. Live your life without fear of d3. You think I'll be forgotten ? Start by forgetting about me yourself
Honestly crazy that I managed to sweep my Red Bull Golden Letters group 4-0, happy I got my runback vs Arslan and my reads were just cracked throughout all 4 matches, so feeling great and ready for Day 2 bracket tomorrow! Good luck to the rest of the players!
It's funny how with these buffs, more and more people are inclined to pick up Yoshi. He's not the bandwagon character you seem to think he is. By all means discover his toolset for yourselves, but you'll quickly realize why most people don't care to use him, because he's effort.
Can't believe I took what's apparently a consecutive UK/IRE championship, I'm honestly happy I was able to deliver for you guys! And I hope I can make you guys proud in the final 16 of the Euro Tekken Cup! Great to see everyone again and GGs to all, looking forward to next year!
Seems the recent tweet from TEKKEN has addressed more of the problems the patch introduced (people moving during rage arts, Eddy's bugged heat dash, Azucena's wr3,2 behaviour on whiff etc.) Which is good, but what is not good is how screwed over the modding community is right now
My heart is pounding, I managed to reach Top 8 on the losers side after two insane comebacks against JoKa! I didn't want my Top 8 qualification to be vs a fellow UK killer but that's what I get for not performing in the winners side, I will do my best to keep going!
I've noticed with T8 there are different Heat Mode "archetypes" between the characters:
1. Enhances the properties of moves (e.g. Law, Paul, Nina)
2. Gives new moves, while also enhancing others (e.g. Lars, Feng)
3. Infinite "Starburst" mechanic (Claudio, Asuka, Bryan)
Cont.
Arslan Ash has finally done what he set out to do and cemented his place as the best player in Tekken 7 and one of the best Tekken players in the world! So many EVO titles and now at last the TWT! I can't wait to see what the future holds in Tekken 8 as all our journeys continue!
Out at tied 5th at

losing to
@Mulgold98
and
@Tekken_CBM
who successfully got his revenge. The level is crazy here and this result is amazing for me personally considering what I had to go through, and we got the qualification anyways so can't be disappointed! GGs!
They hardly nerfed him, they just gave him more options to lock you down and his DGF moves buffed by Heat are way more effective and can be used more times! He STILL has everything from before! Exact opposite of what I was expecting.
Super Akouma : Akuma
JoKa: Feng/Heihachi
K-Wiss: Hwoarang
Sephiblack: Miguel

All the special "FATE" intros so far in Tekken 8 based on all the material I've currently seen (this includes a few apparently found in game files). If I have missed any let me know. Special dialogue lines alongside the generic intros do not count!
Now that I'm back home and had a good night's sleep, just want to say again what a fantastic tournament
@DamagermanY
was, I already want to come back for more, man! Happy I took 2nd and got to play the legends
@jimmyjtran
and
@holyknee
! Ready for round 2 when it rolls around!
First offline in Tekken 8, first win! Was a very fun 64 man tournament with some of the UK's finest involved and the games were very intense and fun! Shootouts to
T7 hitting 9 mil sales makes it the best selling game in the series I'm sure. While it's cool they made up for how little TTT2 sold, I hope 7 isn't the standard for future games. Keep the great gameplay for 8, but do more with the content, because 7 doesn't have much else to it.
So, 2nd place at Headstomper 2019! I'm really happy as it's an improvement from my last year's start! This tournament was so good and the matches were awesome! GGs everyone and congrats to my teammate
@asim_tekken
finally got that win! We're back!!!
Not the first nerfs I was expecting, but essentially NSS/heat flash can't be spammed in combos anymore and the healing it gives will be less effective, nerfed 1SS flash hitbox could potentially affect certain flash punishment, and I guess heat f1+2 relaunch after ff2:2 is gone.
Actually, this is the natural effect 1,1 has on NH if he's in NSS. Any moves that draw the sword back out are enhanced, much like they are in Heat. 1,1 does still KND on CH 2nd hit in 1SS however.
I saw the situation with JDCR vs AK, and it sucks so much that that happened. But the death threats, the slander toward AK and even telling him he should've given the win to JDCR? That's plain stupidity. Rules are rules, and you don't win until the last health point is gone.
Thanks everyone for contributing to my earlier post, here's an updated list of Strong Aerial Spin moves, with some caused by Heat Dash marked by (HD!). Looking at this now, do you think this mechanic needs better balancing among the cast? Some clearly benefit more than others.
With the recent reveals of Leroy and Asuka, this is the representation in the base roster we have so far:
T1: Kazuya, Paul, Marshall Law, King (I know its King II but it's the type of character that matters), Jack, Nina
T2: Jun
T3: Jin, Xiaoyu
T5: Asuka
T6: Lars
T7: Leroy

#EGX2023
, what a mad occurrence to happen, I just wanna play man lol, some of the paint they shot at the stream screen went over us a little. Don't think their message was sent though, sucks for them eh?
Managed to make Top 16 Winners side at The Mixup and done for the day, feeling pretty good about my efforts, one win away from Top 8! Now I rest up and get ready for tomorrow, only gets harder from here! Thanks for the continuous support and cheers!
Say what you want about how broken this game is, but as a kid this game was amazing, and its aesthetic captured me and got me into the Tekken series from that point onward.
VSF this weekend has been another example that no player is unbreakable, not even the best. There are always players out there that can potentially beat you. Which is why you shouldn't get disheartened when you lose. Always strive for improvement, and the results will come.
The more I lab, more I think Yoshi is absolutely busted. His poke game is mostly the same as before, but the NSS buffs he has been given with added healing make him freakishly strong in oki and pressure situations. Not to mention his new strings complimenting his wall carry 😈
Winning a tournament is a feeling I haven't felt in a while. Sure is good to be back. I'm thankful to
@IronPrideFGC
for the great event they put on and grateful to everyone I played for providing the GGs.
Most of Leroy's Hermit stance seems weak to sidewalking left so I strongly encourage stepping that way whenever he goes into it, except for when he does d3,2 into it because that's +8 on hit so you won't be going anywhere.
Barely made it to my flight, was offloaded but through Yoshi main luck, managed to pull through and will be on my way to EWC in Riyadh! Need to stop off in Bahrain first! See everyone soon!
Sadly went 0-2 in my group after some really good sets, I had some good moments during both matches but there were also very glaring mistakes that cost me too much, as well as some unfortunate situations occurring during my offense. Something to reflect on, GGs!
I think the most amusing thing about Season 2 is seeing how many players will ditch their current mains for characters that have been beefed up, as that is how meta is these days. Sure all my characters got buffed mostly, but regardless I'd stick with them to the end.
Characters missing from the Top 24:
Kazuya
Paul
King
Lars
Jun
Leroy
Asuka
Hwoarang
Raven
Leo
Steve
Yoshi
Shaheen
Panda
Lee
Devil Jin
Zafina
This isn't necessarily an accurate representation of balancing to me as top players/specialists with characters ARE a thing!
Been home for a couple of days now but just wanted to say what an amazing event EWC was and how grateful I am to be part of that experience regardless of the results! Was happy to spend time with so many Tekken legends, and congrats
@tekkenUlsan
once again! The grind continues!
The amount of Yoshi discourse I see in recent weeks is crazy. He's obviously getting nerfed soon and likely needs them along with toning down on damage and healing. But some opinions are wild to me regarding certain moves. If you labbed him or tried playing him, you'd understand.
Crazy how strong the new talent is coming in over the past two years of online action, having decent showings offline and with recent achievements like
@AyoRichie_98
's and
@byJoka
's and then there's guys like me slowly getting back into the action? UK is loaded this year lol
And out at joint 7th, I knew going into the game that a combination of
@booknopparut
and Jin was going to be hard, still, this has been an amazing weekend and I'm happy overall with how I played despite the odd slip up here and there. GGs to everyone, insane tournament!
Out at Top 12, the Feng was too strong today. And I made a lot of poor decisions when trying to end rounds. But decent turnout regardless and now to watch the rest of this awesome action! GGs!
Unfortunately finished my Only The Best 2024 run at 9th, one round away from Top 8, very well played to
@ArslanAsh95
and
@TekkenTetsu
! Got decent points out of it but I've got some adjustments to make if I wanna get further in this tour. GGs, onto the next!
Back home and feeling good, what a weekend. I came to
#BTC2019
with no other goal but to win, but even though I just fell short, I am happier still for breaking boundaries and scoring crazy wins. I loved all the games I had with my opponents, was a lot of fun!
I know Yoshimitsu's Tekken 3 appearance is easily the most popular amongst his designs... but I personally would love to see his Tekken 4 P2 design come back in the Tekken Shop!
@Harada_TEKKEN
@mykeryu
So I'm always hearing comments about me and
@alsgud1123
so... who actually wants me to have a FT10 with the legendary Korean Yoshi, maybe we could do it at EVO if possible? Everyone seems to want our Yoshi styles to clash lol
Won the 48 man Dojo at
@SodiumShowdown
! With this, I have won back to back dojos this weekend and gained decent points within the first month of TWT! GGs to everyone this weekend! Next stop will be Iron Pride! 👊🏻
I just realized something... England vs Spain Euro finals is tomorrow... I play
@Oracle_Javier
as my first match tomorrow who is a Spanish player. LOL the 🏴 vs 🇪🇸 pride is gonna be real!
I am now 25. Crazy how fast these years have gone. Feels like it wasn't that long ago I was in my early twenties competing before COVID hit. But regardless I look forward to many more years of fun filled times!
So the general gist of the patch notes I get is... Drag's uf4 no longer launches, his new +7 mid has more pushback, Jun can't do a spike combo, her uf1 has a different hit property, Jack lost his spike combo, DJ's hellsweep got a damage nerf, Leo's new b1 string is unsafe. Cool.
With me out of VSF, this concludes my final TWT of T7 as the game draws closer to its competitive end. All that's left now is the EU Tekken Cup. My journey with this game since my first World Final in 2016 has definitely been full of ups and downs, but what a ride it's been.
Yeah, based on what I'm seeing everywhere, this patch has basically put the game in a heap of trouble. Issues with certain moves and situations got danced around instead of properly solved, while introducing new unintentional bugs that break the game. The tour is in 11 days...
I didn't manage to qualify from my group in the regional finals sadly, but it was never going to be easy and the result were very close. Either way I had fun, and there are always future tournaments to attend as well as the LCQ. So see you guys soon!
Now that these back to back weekends of Tekken are over, just want to say that Dreamhack Summer and Only The Best have been amazing events and thanks
@FlowerFGC
@BodeOnlyTheBest
@KiNGaGGy
@IronPrideFury
and all their respective teams for making the events accommodating and great!
Out after winning my first game, lost to
@Shadow20z
which was a pretty hard second match of the day, but it is what it is, tournaments in this final year of the game are rough and anyone can lose to anyone. Just gotta keep moving on and feal with it, GGs.
I wouldn't get too comfortable as I'm gonna be there as well, and if we meet in tournament, I'll see to it that the result of our 2016 battle repeats itself! 👊
I'm excited that going back to Europe for a while.
Looking forward to DamagermanY & The MixUP!
It's gonna be the most memorable memory to me. I'll do my best to show my true POWER lol
I still have 3 more days to go! I CAN'T WAIT.
I could make this thanks to my fans. Thanks!
Now Lidia Sobieska is the kind of female character I like to see in Tekken, no nonsense, serious attitude to fighting and genuine martial arts prowess.
This tournament was quite the ride, got to say... I've missed this. Can't complain with the result either all things considered, everyone's been doing crazy good at the game so for me to come this far with minimal play is surprising. I hope I can get out there more soon, GGS!
Took 1st place in the ELF monthly after a ridiculous grand final vs
@AyoRichie_98
! Honestly either of us could've taken it but I'd say we're more than warmed up for the LCQ! Look forward to next weekend! GGs all!
I can't believe my latest stream got this much traction and I can't thank the community enough for their support considering I'm just a small time Tekken streamer atm. Hopefully when my channel gets properly decked out, we keep these good times rolling!
Just want to clarify I called myself and Asim the JDCR and Saint of the UK due to the rivalry we have, not that our skill levels are the same, we are nowhere near that, some people on Twitch got visibly annoyed with the comment. People assuming what I mean isn't a good thing, man
I was reeling too much off the released content yesterday to post here, but man I AM SO EXCITED FOR MY BOI! He looks so good! Really can't wait to play around with his new toolset and setups! I need the game now!
