The fact Max even has enough footage for casual 50min Tekken 8 videos clearly shows how much fun he’s having with this game. I don’t think any of his T7 videos were this long, except Boss Rage of course.
@@arpadszabo661 For real. Tekken 7 felt like the best and worst of tekken at the same time. Bad sidestep on most the roster, all back step which was more an exploit/glitch, block with so much free value until they added broken characters like fahkumram. You have the SF of 3D fighters with an MMA like feel and make it bland. It had cool individual characters, animations so right for the fighting styles, great reps for so many countries, when sidestep did work you felt right at home, knowing they're gonna sidestep right and throwing a left hook felt good. Try talking about how other fighters or games in general handle stuff with a T7 player and it's like talking with a strive or smash bros player. I know I'm not high level but even I could feel the issues from a mile away. 8 has issues too but it feels like it's in a much better place than T7 just like SF6 is much better feeling than SF5.
Funny I just noticed that as well during the Feng match and I’ve never noticed it before - is that a new thing? My attention was drawn to it very quickly which makes me wonder if it was from an update, I feel like I would have seen it sooner🤷♂️
it's not really an area of the screen you'd be looking at much. It's less noticeable on some characters as well, such as Feng, whose portrait silhouette matches the chains quite closely.
@@LeiChaobruh I’ve already lowered my settings to accommodate, and I’ve played plenty of online matches where the gameplay was fine, so I doubt my graphics are the issue. I also don’t think it’s fair to assess connection when you weren’t one of the players in the match in the first place.
I’m a drag main and I just made it to fujin before nerf after nerf started playing again and blue players are absolutely insane once you get into any new rank you’ll see the skill of players rise exponentially
As a Jin main, i can only warn you, bud. The skill gap right now for you is nothing. Once you reach battle ruler and start fighting fujin and raijin players, you'll realize just how easy the red ranks and the first 2 purple ranks are. Especially for us Jin players.
@@uchihasasuke3356 Everyone knows the Jin matchup by those ranks and high crushes are way more commonly utilized so his strong jab combo becomes a liability. Unfortunately, his jab combo is extremely effective at lower ranks so people get completely blind sided when it feels useless out of nowhere. As a matter of fact I started using Lili's high crush crumble specifically from fighting Mishima players.
Though I have not made it this far as Reina only making it to only Warrior thus far (vs other players the CPU are too weak for me to count them properly.) I am playing Tekken 8 every day good to see you too are still having fun with this game despite its rough start I've seen it have. I still like playing Tekken 8...despite the fact I'm not used to Tekken yet entirely. Tekken 8 remains one of my top priority games at the moment despite the fact I'm not yet fantastic at it.
The Nina match is Tekken ranked in a nutshell. Defense is so scary in this game that people would rather keep attacking at any cost than risk losing their turn. Finishes every string, crouch jabs, heat burst as soon as Max gets his turn back. Sad thing is this actually works all the way up to blue ranks.
Notice that even on a 4090 (I assume max has one) that Tekken 8 reports problems with his performance on the icons in the corner. Same places mine does it on a 3080 12gb. I’m even using DLSS Quality @ 1440p just to reduce power draw and temps. Wonder why it does that?
7:45 Thats how I feel fighting the top 10 characters, as I like to call them. The 4 Mishima's (except maybe Kazuya), Bryan, Law, Jun, Lee, Lili and Eddy. Add Xiaoyu or Victor if no Kazuya. Those are the 10 I see the most and as far as I've seen, just auto dodge your attacks the most.
I’ve been on the cusp of Mighty Ruler for a few days now. I only get to play a few hours a week. I’m aiming to get Tekken King before I feel like I’m actually good at Tekken 😂
Hold the df input after it to go into breaking step, then immediately press 1. Its not a guranteed hit but so few people know how to properly get counter it that you might as well staple it.
That ground pound the Kazuya was catching you with can be punished with F1+2 after block for a meaty piece of damage, I think its about 45 DMG. Literally free damage on block
In case you mean the one right before the Intro when he's fighting a Dragunov its: Tekken Tag 1's Xiaoyu's Theme (Playstation Version). And if you are referring to the one IN the Intro, then its: Tekken 8 Arena Stage Theme (First Round)
I play a little game watching these videos: guess which players don't rematch. I think I'm quite good at it... There's something about the way some people play that you can just tell. That Nina surprised me though!
In these ranks (even in blue ranks and higher tbh) like most ppl fall for zen u1 u should use it more often when u see them getting aggressive or spamming highs , but be careful as it's launch punishable but trust me most ppl don't punish u xd
If you mean his first day of playing Jin, then no. The matches in this video are from Max's second session of ranking up with Jin, back around the beginning of April. Max has since switched to playing with Lars in more recent Tekken streams.
I gotta disagree slightly with max on one and doneing people even the main man a tekken pro will one and done xiaoyu. Some characters are just not worth your time to actually learn the matchup. Kuma xiaoyu are characters your barely going to fight and they are peak fucking annoying. Dont let those kinds of characters ruin your experience.

Yeah, i didn’t dislike T7 but it really was bland. Now that we’re out of both the T8 honeymoon and whining phase, we’re left with a fun game.
More content is always welcome.
I honestly think his T8 content is the most fun I've had watching anything he's done in quite a while.
tekken 8 is fun as fuck to play and also fun as fuck to watch

13:54
Just noticed a cool detail in the characters portrails up there, there are chains around it and when a character enters heat the chains break

@@danielsnyder6159 Nah, it's always been a thing.

I always lol when Max yells out: "COMPLICATED WIRE!" during that throw. The name's already absurd, but made hilarious as a Max battle cry. 🤣🤣
Drag player from the intro clip here. Ggs didn’t even realize it was you.
upgrade your pc or downgrade your settings dawg

@@DrIggy-sy8hb We can see your indicator in the bottom red constantly flashing red. That means it's a performance issue, not a connection one
Tekken 8 is so fun man I can't remember the last time I spent actual hour upon hours on a fighter like this
Same, and it’s awesome seeing the progress you make over time.
Can’t agree more I spent days on customization alone and loving the journey to Tekken swag
Man after I watched his jin journey I literally picked up Jin and got him to tenryu but the fights to get out of that rank are wild
I’m a drag main and I just made it to fujin before nerf after nerf started playing again and blue players are absolutely insane once you get into any new rank you’ll see the skill of players rise exponentially
Idk i found it easy to go from tenryu to mighty ruler. Maintaining purple rank is difficult tho
It's weird, once I got out of Red Ranks I got through to Battle Ruler pretty fast. Tenryu was a serious plateau for me.

Seeing this guy play Jin makes me want to try out Jin
4:41 that throw break was time to the music that was sick.
Why is the yodeling ost so freaking hilarious!
I used to think yodeling was silly, but now I'm genuinely impressed by it; at least by this track.
I wish Max was in Sajam's streamer tournament. Would be fun to see him play/coach other streamers.
Oh man that Asuka was the best one I've seen! Really liked the pace and principle the player used, totally reflected the style of the character.
Max believes in his heart!
He pressed 2
I’m guessing that Kazuya was dressed like Vergil. Which is kinda sick honestly considering the Devil transformation
You played crazy well. The adaptation and not tilting is what I need to learn before big combos.
So much improvement max! Wow 😊
Nicely done max! I'm sticking with my Flame Ruler cause it looks good 🤣💯
Every time you do this air dash thing as Jin, it's so scary.
Love the Dragon Ball & Naruto stuff Tekken 8 just has it's crazy.
Though I have not made it this far as Reina only making it to only Warrior thus far (vs other players the CPU are too weak for me to count them properly.) I am playing Tekken 8 every day good to see you too are still having fun with this game despite its rough start I've seen it have.
I still like playing Tekken 8...despite the fact I'm not used to Tekken yet entirely.
Tekken 8 remains one of my top priority games at the moment despite the fact I'm not yet fantastic at it.
Impressive! It took me a full week to get to Mighty Ruler. Very good job
Shoutout to Feng's good play via low punish.
Love the Megaman Legends pfp
Ok that Kazuya at 26:21 was godlike, goddamn-
By any chance does anyone know the music for the final stage/ fight against Asuka starting at 33:57? Never heard that bgm before. :o

This is Hardas vision apparently
Pointing to a red ranked Nina that spammed the same 2 strings and LOST and saying “this is Harada’s vision” could not be funnier
50m Tekken video? Sheeesh 🍿
Damn. Took me watching this to figure out the "kazama combo" comes from the twin lancer.
Man I need to know these settings, this looks smooth as hell
Brother, I need the kind of concentration you got you were blinking with one eye around 2:59
Notice that even on a 4090 (I assume max has one) that Tekken 8 reports problems with his performance on the icons in the corner. Same places mine does it on a 3080 12gb. I’m even using DLSS Quality @ 1440p just to reduce power draw and temps. Wonder why it does that?
You made me picked up Jin, thanks Max
Good luck, one of the hardest character in the game
@@henryduttweiler hardest?
@@henryduttweiler 🤣
@@henryduttweilernot anymore lol
@@henryduttweiler I think you're talking about the wrong Tekken
What modern fighting game would you say you're best at competitively?
Sick intro sheesh!
watching this makes me want to pick up jin
Wassup Max? Good matches bro!
Niiice, I myself just achieved Mighty Ruler with Lee... it was tough getting out of the reds.
nice bro. Im also mighty ruler with Lee. Always respect fellow lee mains
Does anyone know what song plays during the first match?
7:45 Thats how I feel fighting the top 10 characters, as I like to call them. The 4 Mishima's (except maybe Kazuya), Bryan, Law, Jun, Lee, Lili and Eddy. Add Xiaoyu or Victor if no Kazuya.

Has anyone got maxs stage song playlist?
Getting into purple ranks as a brain dead 1234 Steve is wild
legit all he spammed was ub3 and 1234 lmao. Ive versed a shinryu steve who was better than this guy
That definitely isn't a brain dead one.
I’ve been on the cusp of Mighty Ruler for a few days now. I only get to play a few hours a week. I’m aiming to get Tekken King before I feel like I’m actually good at Tekken 😂
Does anyone know how max is following up the Brazilian kick (df 3,3) with that uppercut as a combo ender?
Hold the df input after it to go into breaking step, then immediately press 1. Its not a guranteed hit but so few people know how to properly get counter it that you might as well staple it.
@marwankhalil7583 thank you! Worked it into my repertoire and got to mighty ruler
That ground pound the Kazuya was catching you with can be punished with F1+2 after block for a meaty piece of damage, I think its about 45 DMG. Literally free damage on block
Whats the name of the song in the beginning?
In case you mean the one right before the Intro when he's fighting a Dragunov its: Tekken Tag 1's Xiaoyu's Theme (Playstation Version).
And if you are referring to the one IN the Intro, then its: Tekken 8 Arena Stage Theme (First Round)
Steve is so op in good hands
Anyone knows what tekken music uses max?
Goes hard🎉
I just hit flame ruler with my Jin and honestly it is so cool we are around the same rank!
Gonna have to start playing Jin now, he looks really fun!
Dont break your controller learning him😊
As a Jin main, Go for it, He's really fun 👌👌
more scrubs to fight
Steve match was awesome
26:29 Gray Kazama...
Max has gotten real nice with his combos.
Jin Moment
I play a little game watching these videos: guess which players don't rematch. I think I'm quite good at it... There's something about the way some people play that you can just tell.
That Nina surprised me though!
Was the kazuya trying to make a virgin skin? Also props for that lightning screw I would've thought it was spinning demon too.
Lol.... why are they in space on an asteroid
5:33 Can someone please tell me what is the name of that song?
It's "Heat Haze Shadow" from Tekken 7. "Heat Haze Shadow 2nd" when the vocals kick in
@@arielgonzalez008 Thanks ^^
Whats the song at 15:25?
Xiaoyu theme tekken tag
LET'S GOOOO
max has been labbing i see 👀
like to Asuka costume
TEKKEN 8 TEKKEN 8 🫡
In these ranks (even in blue ranks and higher tbh) like most ppl fall for zen u1 u should use it more often when u see them getting aggressive or spamming highs , but be careful as it's launch punishable but trust me most ppl don't punish u xd
what rank in Tekken is equal to masters in SF6 ?
This Nina gameplay makes me want to cry, honestly 😆
pure insanity on display
Mashing8 the video game lol
Max u should try Leo, he’s fun af
Yeah I’m losing motivation to play Jin at this point man I got so close to battle ruler then lost to two flame ruler players
Bro them Asuka buffs have been insane
All I’ve seen in ranked the past few days are Asuka and Law….
She's a nightmare, I lose every time.
Guys, what is considered a "high" rank in T8?
Tenryu->*Mighty Ruler*+
wish my game didn’t freeze or crash every half hour 😔
What are you playing on?
@@FUNFUN_101 pc smh
I'm going to hate the answer to this question...but is all this content from his first day?
If you mean his first day of playing Jin, then no. The matches in this video are from Max's second session of ranking up with Jin, back around the beginning of April. Max has since switched to playing with Lars in more recent Tekken streams.
(QUESTION FOR ALL)
You get to spend a day in the TEKKEN universe, what are you doing all day👀?.
My answer: Breaking juns back out
I got $500 dollas on u being 16 or younger
Sick in the head for that jun comment💀
Bro, Nina, Alisa and Lilli exist. There isn't enough time to spend in the universe to get there.
jun looks like my ex, so i agree
WHAT THE ***L?!
Holy shit, i love to play steve, but that steve was LAME
Its still fuck jin but good shit
Complains about Nina strings and then proceeds to do every Jin string 😂
Dude watching you fight that nina looked atressful as all hell.
36 seconds ago, daaaamn
Lol
First.
they have fucked up both jin.and kazuya in this game and it's beyond sad. Completely dumbed down.
I thought Max was actually good at tekken
I gotta disagree slightly with max on one and doneing people even the main man a tekken pro will one and done xiaoyu. Some characters are just not worth your time to actually learn the matchup. Kuma xiaoyu are characters your barely going to fight and they are peak fucking annoying. Dont let those kinds of characters ruin your experience.
They usually one and done anyway if you show even the slightest ability to adapt.
bruh this steve only knows how to ub3 and 1,2,3,4 lmao
Why is my tekken prowess like 160,000 but I;m only mighty ruler, meanwhile some of these players are at flame ruler with only 140,000 prowess
Do you play with other characters? That will do it.
Yeah, I'm Battle Ruler and I'm not even at 150K. I guess it's my play style. I'm not the most defensive player.
@@roncrudup2110 yeah i have like 3 characters at mighty ruler
