Can we stop bringing this elitism and rage bait into the FGC for a second? “GoD+ is the new Kishin” , really? Tekken friends, the numbers don’t lie. Don’t let some sweaty players gaslight you into thinking this is “easy.” Less than 1% of active online players even reach GoD+. Yes, there’s always been toxicity in fighting games, but some of you seriously need to chill. Right now there are only about 10 players at GoD6, yet timelines are full of “easy game, ez rank” takes. Be real, that’s not honesty, that’s just toxic. Give credit where it’s due and stop downplaying people’s grind.

@Theshape1014 Word of advice… as an Anna player the deal is that you get into ranks that are way above your pay grade… the price however is that you don’t get to lecture anyone about anything 😉

@LuxSylva_ It’s not elitism… there is players in GoD+ that would not make Fujin in T7. Game is a party game and we have all become worse players playing T8 at this point. It’s the sad truth

Finally! The Stars Cup, which I’ve been hosting since 2016, has officially become a Challenger event. This year also marks the 10th anniversary of the tournament 🎉 It started as a very small event, so seeing a tournament I’ve been running since the Tekken 7 days become part of the TWT is truly emotional for me. Last year, there were few Challenger events in the Asia region. I hope Stars Cup can fill that spot this year 🙏 We'll announce the registration page for Stars Cup at a later date! I’d love to see many of you join us ☺️

@0vincentrayne0 @rookang1 @Spyro9824 Hmm let me try to help you, but first tell me. Do you not understand the words I am using or do you not understand the concept of blocking and punishing the evaluate player skill? 😂

Was speaking to a few Lidia players recently & found out the below ⬇️ - Lidia's poking is weak - struggles a lot & has to commit to bigger moves like FF2. - ​Bad range on her pokes. - ​She is very linear - Has to rely on FF2 a lot which can be dealt with fairly easily with movement. - ​Has a lot of fake stance pressure. - ​No panic buttons to stop pressure.

@0vincentrayne0 @rookang1 @Spyro9824 Here is my very simple test on this… if I can consistently Snake Edge players around GoD 1~3 who play a specific character… said character must be carrying hard. Guess what?Lydia, Anna, Bears are eating Snake Edge roughly on the same rate as green ranks in T7 😉

@rookang1 @Spyro9824 In before the Lidia haters fill up the comments with their takes that show the lack of matchup or character knowledge. Lidia looks strong but on paper she is below average in many areas. And has a lot of holes in her offense. People just don’t know of these and don’t lab

@Keenansthoughts You could literally give a character a one button death combo and say the character has not changed, it’s the players that use that button. Players will gravitate towards the play-style that drives wins, so it is inherently the character.

Unpopular opinion: Victor didn’t turn into "stance slop”. Players did. You can still play him like S1, solid, fundamentals-based and more fun even if it's harder to win. But people lean on stance 50/50s instead so now, ranked is flooded with that playstyle.

@kushan019 Well said… they basically made a Mario Party game for one of the sweatiest gaming communities out there… what could go wrong? 😂 Seriously, the game tries to do 10 things at the same time and literally fails at everything.

You can tell Season 1 was just a transition phase into what Namco actually wanted Tekken 8 to be. It was way more neutral-heavy compared to what we got in Season 2 and 3. That wasn’t the end goal. They wanted the game to appeal to non-Tekken players, because that’s the bigger market. Appealing to the average consumer makes more money. But Tekken has never had mass appeal like that. So instead of leaning into what makes Tekken work, they shifted the game away from neutral and footsies into cutscenes, long combos, and stance-heavy mixups, because that stuff looks better to someone who doesn’t play the game. The problem is that Tekken players don’t like uninteractive gameplay. They didn’t like it in Tekken 7, and they don’t like it now. People who play Tekken want to actually play Tekken. And that only works if you stick to the core idea of what Tekken is. At its simplest, Tekken is built on this basic ass formula: Incentive to attack + incentive to move Movement reduces risk and creates interaction. You can use it to escape, to create openings, or to punish bad offense. Attacking matters because pokes and punishment are rewarding. That balance is what makes neutral work. In older games, tracking and homing moves were limited, so movement still had value. The system wasn’t perfect, but it held together. Over time, they kept chipping away at that. More tracking. More homing. Less reason to move. At the same time, they increased total HP, which makes pokes weaker relative to combos. So now you’re less rewarded for small interactions and more rewarded for big, forced situations. The issue with Tekken 8 isn’t aggression itself. It’s how they want aggression to work. You’re not supposed to sidestep stance pressure. You’re supposed to hold that situation or use a power crush. That goes against everything Tekken used to reward. I remember when they made Kazuya’s hellsweep track in T7 Season 3, and electrics track more in T7 Season 2. That’s when it was obvious they were accelerating the process of moving away from Tekken’s core identity. And it didn’t stop there. They wanted to shed the legacy playerbase because they genuinely believed that the game's financial future was being held back by archaic traditional ideas about Tekken's core design. They want you to leave and are willing to do anything to make that happen. Frame data as paid DLC. Leroy and Fahkumram broken on purpose. Tekken Shop added after reviews. Calling Season 2 a “defense patch.” “Back to basics,” while doing the opposite. After all of this, there are people that still believe that there's a magical patch that will come and fix the game and I'm not making fun of anyone because I don't blame you guys. There's no competition to the game because other 3D fighters don't play like Tekken. But all I'm saying is that false hope is more painful than no hope. The devs know what they’re doing. They just don’t care.

@KingJae Same playbook as last year… honestly this game is done for… let’s hope there is a T9 and the development is done by an AI… I am trusting ChatGPT more than Nakatzu or Murry at this point 😂

Don’t want to sound like a ‘doomer’ and while this is great step, why has it taken the 3rd year to see this when Season 2 was how it was? Nevertheless, I REALLY hope you listen to the community serious feedback and start taking some more caution with adding things into the game.

@pcgamer Calling it „doom mode“ makes it sound like the players are unreasonable, whilst the player base simply won’t tolerate being lied to and Legitimität criticism being ignored for over 2 years by now… do better @pcgamer and @TEKKEN
