Tekken has low entry level but the ceiling is INFINITE. Every character is viable and you can win matches (no Johnny/Lao or Raiden/Kano cause they are literally the best due to “great balance” of the game). The customization, you can cover yourself in the drip you want FOR FREE. You don’t need those insane combos to win, get your bnbs, movement and learn matches. Training mode is literally the best on the market. Music is blasting, literally bangers, even bangers from previous games thanks to jukebox mode. Tekken Ball is super fun if you don’t wanna fight and play a game of volleyball. Everyone is welcome here!
@@jaymanity thanks for the info, cause i played mostly classic characters like Paul, Kaz and Law cause of legacy controls, but i want to try really something new this time. In T8 i really wanna get to learn Lars and from newcomers - Victor, damn, even Jack felt fun this time
So true, extend a warm welcome to discerning MK players who, without arrogance or pride, recognize issues in MK1 and contemplate transitioning to Tekken 8. Embracing such open-minded players fosters community growth and contributes to a more thriving scene for us Tekken fans.
I want buy Tekken 8 in Summer (hope will discount), I never played it before (only ps2). For me it's enough this trash mk1, that is reason why I bought sf6 and I like this game 👍 Demo Tekken 8 was cool 👍
Yeah . Because Mk fans are more demanding than most of the other fighging games . Not even close . And thats why mk seems to get bad reputacion . Since Mk 9 , every game NRs did , the same ' Pro players ' bad mouthing the games . Its never good . Mk 9 was to broke . Theres no fundaments . Mk x is braindead . Thers no footsies . Injustice 1 is to slow . Needs more speed . Mk 11 has footsies . Game is to slow . Gets boring very fast . MK X is a better game and more fun they say . Injustice 2 . Same crap . Mk 1 comes out . Game feels boring , repetetive , stale . Mk 9 ist the best mk 9 ever they say . Yeah . The game you so called ' pros ' didnt touch . Guys like TOM BRADY , Reo , FoxyGranpa , and other youtubers , are the ones who are always complaining . Mk is not supposed go be SF or Tekken . Every game has its identity . Sf Tekken are great games , but dont tell us , MK players are , realizing the game as issues and jumped to Tekken . Ghats not happening buddy . Thats all ' a youtube hype train ' sheep do to get validation . I love tekken , but tekken also lost much of what tekken was all about . Theres fireballs , teleports , dive kicks , spevials , armors , many characters fell the same . Tekken also changed . And not for the better on my opinion .
@@gimmesomechocho7878 Nobody said MK had to play like SF or Tekken though.... As a 2D fighter, it fails in aspects it really shouldn't have. It's tag mechanic (kameo) is awful, characters special moves and inputs gets altered for no reason with every new entry, has the fastest drop-off rate in NRS history, didn't even make it into top 8 fighters in Combo Breaker 2024, yeah...I'm done here. I want MK to do well but NRS doesn't seem to wanna even try anymore. I think Khameleon is a cool Kameo and they should try making other kameos as versatile as her...instead of just seeing Kung lao, striker and Kano
The thing i hate about the vocal minority of the tekken community is that they unknowingly do their absolute best to scare people away from their game. Im a tekken head myself but my god, the community is a bit thick in the head when it comes to treating newcomers. I never get tired of tekken games, so i hope everyone will enjoy the game as much as i do
vocal minority are just very loud while the rest of us just mind our own business and enjoy the game lol Like damn, idc if they got 1k+ wins, ill eventually break that streak and make them cry over it
That is legit the last thing Tekken players should do because Tag 2 was almost the death of the Tekken franchise. So scaring off people who want to try Tekken 8 is literally the dumbest thing they could do. They should be better and find ways to expand the community, not diminish it
Why the hell they wanna scare off the newcomers? Don't they wanna know why family members keep throwing each other off cliffs? Why there's a Bear, Panda, Sword Wielding Space Ninja thing, a Wrestler with a Jaguar Mask making jaguar noises in this game while understanding every language with no language barrier?
@@Matt_Underwoodthere’s a difference between them complaining or asking for help. a lot of noobs complain and cry about stuff instead of just learning the matchup or going in practice mode. but some complaints are valid and some tekken people reply with goofy comments but half the time it’s scrubs whining about scrub things
Tekken is not as intimidating as it seems. But I am happy this version is more welcoming to the newer folk. And there are plenty of Tekken players willing to help people
The biggest piece of advice I can give is make sure you're having fun, don't spend hours labbing Tekken if you don't enjoy it, not every game is for everyone, just start with some casual matches & then if you are enjoying it & want to get competitive then start labbing.
I wish I listened to this advice sooner, 'cause I learned the hard way after forcing myself to get into Tekken 7 for all the wrong reasons, knowing that I don't enjoy playing it. All it did was make me more miserable, and I came to the conclusion that I've become a people-pleaser. So now that I know with absolute clarity that Tekken as a fighting game is not for me, I'm avoiding Tekken 8 altogether.
Tekken 8 is a far better game you can’t deny that. SF6, GGST and Granblue VSR even Skullgirls all have more things going on with them than MK. There is a new standard for fighting games and MK doesn’t even meet the bare minimum
Mk gives more content than any fighting game for 20 years . Not even close . Comparing Tekken to MK is just stupid . Tekken its pretty easy . If you go tekken to mk , they gonna get kn quickly ?! THey will also leave prwttu quicly , when a predator player stucks him ib a corner with overhead cancel low laser for 20 seconds 😂😂 In tekken , the execution its pretty basic . VF has way harder execution moves . Tekken players and SF have always been kind of snobs . Guilty Gear kof 12 have way harder game mechanics . And dint bring me the ' Korean wave dash ' and kazuyas uppercut frame bs Tekken is a wanking , backdash forward 2 hit combos from death . And dont tell me i dont know what im talking about Ive seen knee and all these so called ' pros ' playing Tekken is boring to watching too . And dont bring me the walls , the endless combos from one end of the stage to another . People seem to have brainfarts .Mk combos take to long 😂😂 Remember Tekken 6 ?!! 😂😂 people , say the truth . Not that hard .
@@gimmesomechocho7878 Tekken has 30+ characters at launch with a minimum of 80 moves each. That fact alone makes Tekken the hardest to learn out of most fighting games. Tekken is not “easy”.
The thing is. Tekken isn’t even a difficult game to pick up. It just has a high skill ceiling. It’s probably the easiest to pick up and have fun quickly of all the fighting games. Just mastering it is difficult.
@@sky-oq5mrsure lets see if youre right because i only have one year of tekken experience and if u have more than 20 years then surely you should be able to beat me without breakong a sweat right? if skill ceiling is low then why am i only learning 2 characters and not 32? Why am i still in orange rank when i should be TGO?
@@cyberlox2ndgigdixon211 ye man. Been playing since t5. Inputs and input timing are forgiving as hell. Combos are easy. But when you get to a high level it’s about frame data and move properties. When to block punish, whiff punish, side step. And in a game with so many characters with so many moves for each one that’s when it becomes difficult. But anyone can pull of some flashy cool shit at low to early intermediate level of play and have fun (obviously not with all characters). It’s what makes the game great.
I love TEKKEN but some people need to chill out and stop gatekeeping this franchise almost like if TEKKEN is some kind of Boogeyman of the fighting games against newcomers. TEKKEN is an amazing franchise,the soundtrack,the characters,the combos,the customization,if you're a newcomer you will be welcomed and you will love the games.
If an MK player is thinking of transitioning, please, PLEASE welcome them with the warmest of welcomes. Show them what NRS is denying them by pushing microtransactions and all that bs. They deserve an experience worth their time, and Tekken, SF, DBFz, you name it, has it for them.
Eh, I don't care. On the contrary, the least casuals the better. If all the mk and sf fans get on Tekken, we will get a bunch of complaints that the game isn't like mk and sf and demanding the game to change to be more casual and like mk. Once enough transition, they become the majority and all of a sudden, mk fanboys decide what Tekken should be. That is how modern gaming works. People DEMAND games to change to fit what they like. Souls games MUST have an easy mode or be super easy so anyone can finish them. Armored core MUST be like souls games rather than the fkn franchise it has always been, because stats and parts are too hard and losing money isn't fun. Tekken must be all about aggression because kbd and defense is too hard, so I should win by spamming moves even against players way better than me, because now the game's defense is all guessing forced 50/50s. Mk fans will get me with open arms only and only once they learn the game and enjoy it for what it is, not the second they buy the game with their own expectations and zero skills, day 1 demanding balance changes, mudding the waters of actual real criticisms ("kazuya is too op. He has that one launch punishable string that does too much damage! Whaaaa 😭. His combos are too strong even though they do less damage than everyone else in the beta, whaaaa 😭")
@@ronders-117 Mk and other FG Refugees are going to Whine about nonsense and game mechanics instead of just getting better most mk mfs are deadbrained its not going to be fun mk players will be farmed for rank man made a video to get more cannon fodder in the lobbies lmao
@MkPorter228 You guys are the reason this video was made in the first place. What is this nonsense about? "I don't want more casuals in MY game" BRUH. Games NEED casual people to thrive, I, am new to Tekken lmao, I'm just as "braindead" and "bad" as you say MK players are because I have never touched the franchise outside of TTT2 in a friend's house. The more casuals the game has, the better health the game will have. What you're saying is bullshit, not all MK players and more so SF players are whiny babies, they are people trying to have fun, and Tekken delivers it, so, why not welcome them and try to make a smooth transition?
@@bertojo what a shock. The casual noob thinks casual noobs are needed and are healthy for a game. Yet they are usually the loudest and most obnoxious about balance changes when they know nothing. And so developers listen to these casual noobs. It's the reason Tekken 8 is as lame as it is, all about casual aggression, nerfing super hard the defense, making everything easier while taking away identity from characters (oh yeah, a character doing random shit that doesn't fit in Tekken while in heat, a dumb mechanic that shouldn't even exist in Tekken, gives them a lot of identity... Almost like it's the one thing that gave identity to street fighter 5 characters 🤔). Oh and the Amazing casual controls, where the game plays for you, a pretty viable control scheme that has no reason to exist in ANY game, let alone Tekken. But nah, "casuals are good for a game" as I watch Tekken become a shitty 2d knockoff based around pressing buttons like that trash sf6 or MK1. 2 more installments and Tekken is gonna be all about projectile spam and v triggers, with the only defensive option being brining meter that refills itself. Fuk the casuals and mk/sf players. Play your own dumb game that you ruined yourselves.
Tekken is a somewhat difficult game to get into, but as good ole Sseth once said: "The game is not hard, not because the game itself is not hard, but because videogames, fundamentally, are not hard".
@@bygxne0you can’t expect to be great without putting in the work. focus on improving and you’ll be where you want eventually. just gotta out in the work
These are just different systems. I mean SF2 Turbo set a foundation most games follow even today with regular and special moves, but Tekken is something else with a button for each limb. Once you grasp it becomes second nature but it is a wild leap to go from Hadoukens and Bycicle kicks to left punch, right punch, left kick.
@@Estmaraver I get there different systems but if we're judging it off which games have more longevity, more consistent, more skill, more characters, more content, more customization, more of a challenge and overall better company management etc it's tekken. Not to mention the nrs community is poison. Tekken community is pretty chill
@@gloriouss6352 I was not disputing any of that lol. Tekken is one of my favorite FGC franchises, I also love MK so it isn't a beef or rivalry for me. Tekken has a far more involved producer but that's Harada for you. What I was saying is that , with the foundations set with SF, you can pretty much try Sf motions on most games and you'll most likely get something out of doing that, be it KOF, Skullgirls, GG, even MK too. With Tekken, very few characters have such inputs, you don't have a light, medium and fierce normals nor any supermoves. Where most FGC games feel like cousins, Tekken feels like it's a whole new stranger and that's one of the main reasons it feels intimidating to pick up, with there also being a lot of legacy knowledge that new players have to pick up on. However, once you get into the flow of things, you can start having a blast and juggle people and keep growing and growing in skill. I hope MK players pick up on Tekken 8, and also SF fans, and GG fans and DBF fans and anyone else for that matter. I love fighting games so seeing them succeed makes me happy. I also hope WB/NRS get their head out of their ass and fix the game stat.
Tekken is easy. To me: the hardest game to learn no joke was King of fighters. MK, SF, TK & Guilty gear are pretty easy. Just about being quick and not repeating.
I am mainly a Tekken player and I would love for MK players to play Tekken, the elitism from certain people is very unnecessary, because those people probably do not realize that Tekken was almost dead because of Tag 2. The last thing they should do is scare off or gatekeep Tekken as a fighting game because they have no excuse to act the way they do. MK players, and other fighting game players, do not listen to those people and just try out Tekken 8, it is hella fun to play and also to learn, let's grow as a community👍🏽👍🏽
I wanna say, once you reach high ranks for some reason people will be rude and hate for little reason. I get someone messaging me everyday because they are mad. Rather than take responsibility for their actions, they rather message you telling you how bad you are or cursing, and all you're doing is playing for fun or maybe your siblings are playing. They are very toxic at high ranks. Smurfs are also toxic. They'll create another account just to make themselves seem like they've only been playing tekken for 20 hrs and then talk trash. Lol its funny tho, it's just like the little bitmoji avatars in arcade quest so serious and toxic for no reason. 😂
I actually think Tekken is pretty easy as far as execution goes and movement ain’t that bad either. What makes Tekken hard is knowing all the characters well enough to understand how to play against them all and just how good other humans are at playing Tekken. Playing the game is easy, executing the combos are very easy in a lot of cases, it’s consistently beating other good Tekken players that’s really hard
33yrs old & new to fighting games, SF6 was my first, played 100 hours (amazing game) then got MK1 (fun but got bored fast) Tekken 8 played several hours of the demo with Jin***, overwhelmed a bit with combos but the game is awesome. MK1 wasn’t as good as I was hoping and the micro transactions turned me away. As someone who is a single player gaming guy.
I am also 33 and new to fighting games. First bought Street fighter 6, but got bored quickly, then got MK 1 and loved it, out over 100 hours in it but then got bored with lack of content. So we,ve had a very similar experience although I come from a mostly fps background. That being said I'm beyond hype for Tekken 8.played the demo but didn't like the 4 characters on offer. Watching gameplay though and Reina and Azucena look really fun. Can't wait to play it.
Biggest advice to someone coming into Tekken from other fighting games is to just have fun…. The more you worry about winning, the more you’re gonna be frustrated with learning the game…been playing Tekken all my life from Tekken 4 and in Tekken 8 ranked I’m stuck at Assailant, there’s always gonna be someone who’s better than me or I could be the one who’s better than someone else but whether I’m losing or winning; I’m enjoying the game, learning the new mechanics, and appreciating the title as a whole
Listen MK1 players, incase you haven't heard the announcer for almost every tekken game, let us say... "WELCOME TO THE KING OF IRON FIST TOURNAMENT", we welcome all newcomers, do not be afraid of the difficulty, and do not be afraid of losing. At the end of the day, everyone is here to Live, Learn, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!!! This game can be wacky, but that's like the best part!!! Give it time and maybe one day, you'll be Ki-charging on everyone like a pro, or a troll.
As a hardcore Tekken fan, I will admit...the learning curve is very high. It's one of those games where you have to put 1000 upon 1000 of hours into. You need to know frame data, punishment, movement, poking, and most importantly...match-up knowledge. There are 32 characters in Tekken 8, you need to learn all of them if you want to win games consistently. Don't worry though, you can watch your online match replays and have access to a fully fleshed out practice mode.
Another great video Mike. We're more than happy to have NRS players coming over to Tekken with open arms. I know you've probably never seen it before, but the replay-play(?) function in Tekken has actually been done before. It was used in Guilt Gear XX, all the way back in 2012. Funnily enough Under Night 2 is re-introducing the function when the game releases on the 22nd. While the function has been used before, it's barely in any fighting game despite how robust and useful it is. I believe it should be in every fighting game, and Tekken is the first step to make it mainstream.
As someone who plays the big 3 (sf,mk,tekken and some more) I will be playing tekken and def st6 more, but it doesn't mean im not having fun with mk. Its a party game to me, i feel like thats not a negative thing. Its a win win for me, i dont have to hate every-game, i get to enjoy all of them.
That replay simulation is absolutely brilliant, i think you just convinced me to buy Tekken 8. Going by how consistent the lifecycle of Tekken games seems to be while keeping its players generally happy, i think I need to finally hop on the tekken train
As a former sf player who transitioned to tekken 8, i would say its not that hard to learn the game but god the skill ceiling is so high. I was Cruising through rank until i met veteran player who fucked me up so bad i went straight to practice to learn the matchup and how to punish.
started playing mk when the hype for x was real, got it from steam and played... it was a good time, but didn't understand the hype, was it for the fatality and brutality? they were cool for the first time, then it become annoying af when tyhe enemy did one to me... bro just punch or kick and skip the bs, i wanna play. then i got tekken 7 and man.... what a choice i made that day... AMAZING game, also i didn't played any tekken prior to t7, picked Hwoarang, who's one of the most difficult character to learn... played 1/2 hours a day and not even all days of the week, still now it's my favourite fighting game, now tekken 8? man... if you are not playing tekken... what are you doing
Lol bro, its quite literally going from the easiest fighting game to the hardest. Downplay that if you want to , many people that play Tekken go to other fighting games and simply dominate, hell punk is a SF main and almost won a whole mk tournament just chillin lol, NOBODY comes to Tekken from any other game and dominates here on a professional level, if sonic fox has a hard time transitioning who wouldn't? Also those comments from twitter that u added, that's how we joke bro every one of those comments had a comedic tone to them, so try not to get "irritated" bcuz people who play the game are making a keen observation we don't need that NRS frustration over here lmao
I do feel a game being hard or easy has an element of subjectivity. I play SF, but my tekken friend has a hard time doing certain link combos and special move inputs, plinking and all the little quality of life tricks. Let's not even mention the chicken wing/tiger knee motion. So for him, SF is the hardest. And that's just the input. Gameplaywise, he can't fathom the meta around jumping and cross ups. I think MK combo system is piss-easy, but i struggle so hard on the meta. At the end of the day, all games can be the most technical from certain povs. So lets all be respectul of others' games.
yeah im not good at clutch timing Dragon punches and such on SF and guilty gear not easy for me on the mechanical performance. in tekken you can choose to play without such inputs and play a more defensive neutral the vaster move lists and type of characters allow for more diverse skill floors.
Yep difficulty will always be subjective. I know high rank friends on Tekken 7 that were getting washed in SF6, and stopped playing it, they just couldn't deal with jumping and antiair. And the hitcofirm and combo execution was more difficult in SF, according to them.
A lot of people here saying Tekken’s movement will be a big hurdle for MK players but I think for long time MK fans it might be slightly familiar territory, people forget MK had some 3D games as well back in the day
My biggest turn off for other fighters are the massive crazy inputs for capcom and nrs. But tekken id say for combos its kinda easy, excluding electrics. But you start small and get better.
MK is in fact more similar to Tekken than SF, because both MK and Tekken are 4 button fighting games and both of them use combo strings instead of link system in SF. I was a MK player till i tried Tekken 7 in 2017. Getting used to Tekken 7 was less pain in the ass than SF series.
bro just bc its 3d doesnt make it massively harder to learn. the skill ceiling in tekken is the highest imo out of the 3 but to climb the first few ranked tiers can be done in just a few days of learning the game. I did that with T7 on christmas day 2023. Have never played a tekken game aside from T5 when i was a kid with my dad and twin, and bought T7 on sale for 10 dollars. Got to Genbu in just a couple of weeks with the game. @@kye4216
First time seeing a video from you Mike and as a King player since Tekken 1 to this day yes folks ignore the elitists no matter where you come from your a gaming brother to me and welcome to Tekken 8 I hope you enjoy your time with us.
Granted, I haven't played Tekken 8 yet, but most modern fighting games have a lower "barrier to entry" than every before. I'm a fighting game noob, and I can jump into any fighting game as a casual, have fun with my friends, and fumble my way through arcade and story modes. Sure, the COMPETITIVE scene has a higher skill level, but for most people who play casually (a few hours a week), you'll still have fun. The coolest difference is that MK1 seems to have been already mostly figured out, while Tekken lets you build your own individual fighting style, experiment, and express yourself more. Mortal Kombat 1 doesn't feel as "rewarding" to learn (to me, at least) as the past Mortal Kombat's or some other fighting games. I'm much more of a Mortal Kombat guy overall, but progression matters in games. I want to feel rewarded for the time I put into them. And MK1 currently isn't as rewarding as its competitors.
I'm not sure if "Tekken is the hardest fighting game" is necessarily true, though it IS true that it is very hard (but it's going to be tough for all the other people against you). I've never really played NRS games but I liked an analogy someone put out that Tekken is like running a marathon, it all accumulates, whilst every NRS game is a sprint to how can milk out as much potential as they can while the game is still alive.
Nah but for real the single player content tekken 8 has either for fun or training is mind blowing, as you said i dropped my jaw when i saw the replay thing like bro every game should have that from now on. And the ghost AI im not gonna talk about how INSANE this is.
You mentioned DBFZ, but as someone who came from that game, I found Tekken a lot easier to learn. The thing with DBFZ is, right off the bat, it forces you to learn 3 different characters. That to me is already insane. People complain about the extensive 100+ movelist from Tekken characters, but I would MUCH rather have that, than have to learn 3 separate characters, each with their own moves and combos. Not only that, but learning to use assists properly in DBFZ was WAY HARDER than anything I've ever had to do in Tekken. Plus stuff life meter management, and the fact that combos in DBFZ have a much stricter execution window. Like yes, the knowledge curve in Tekken is pretty steep, but not really something you have to worry about until much, much later. Not the case with DBFZ, where from the very first game, you're stuck with 3 new characters to learn, assists, meter, etc. Holy shit. Basically all I'm saying is, if I had to introduce someone to a fighting game, I would say Tekken is by far the easier one to get into compared to DBFZ. It just always rubbed me off the wrong way when they put DBFZ in the "easier to learn" category.
*"Tekken is the most difficult"* That was before SF6. As of now i think SF6 is the most difficult game around and will be the hardest throughout this generation. Tekken just has more moves and you learn how to utilize all of them the longer you play and rank up. Same for match ups, the more you play and ascend in ranks the more you learn what to watch out for from other characters. It happens gradually so you don't feel it.
Disagree. Whilst I wouldn't say SF6 is easy, it's very easy to grasp because it's scope isn't that grand. Tekkens complexities come in how much it offers. Just when you think you've learnt one match up, another shows up and makes you look like you know nothing. I never got that feeling in SF6. Drive Impact can be annoying, but it's a relatively small game so I don't feel like I'm learning a billion things at once, and it becomes easier to process.
Tekken elitists are few and far between compared to the number of players who just want to get people into the game and enjoy it, at least in my experience. Usually you have to go looking for them on twitter and twitter communities are usually clickbait toxic in general so I don't recommend actually socializing on twitter just in general. My advice and this is the same advice a ton of the other competitive players will say too, is just learn to enjoy the game and find the characters and gameplans you want to play first. Don't even worry about competing at all unless that's the sole reason the game is fun to you because that's not usually the fun part of the game for most people. As for learning the game, T8 has more features than ever that help you learn the game now and don't be scared to talk to people or opponents if they aren't toxic and ask for pointers or advice a ton of them are willing. This may sound elitists but I do think most of the MK players playing competitively are in for a rude awakening and won't stick with Tekken 8 since most of them likely won't be winning or doing as well as they think they should be doing. NinjaKilla is going to be killing it in T8 from what I've seen though, but he was never really only an NRS player, been around since at least the Tag 2 days. You should see PhiDX's T8 CNT/CBT matches with Ninjakilla, dude was already super optimized and whooping PhiDX who's one of the current best new Tekken competitors in the US. I'm real interested to see where NinjaKilla goes with Law in T8 later and any other (MK/NRS) players who'll stick around and put in the grind to get to a good competitive level. Also would be interesting if players start regularly identifying MK/NRS players in Tekken based on their gameplay alone.
That Asuka combo @2:07 was the first Tekken combo that I ever pulled off 😂 Anyways, Tekken has the most online content for teaching players. So it's actually easier to get into because in other games its often difficult to get adequate information and learning material. It doesn't help if a game is easier but u can't find enough learning material.
I'm a big Mk fan and always will be, i grew up playing Mk since i was 5, i also love Tekken, my friend introduced me to it. Even though i haven't played Tekken in years since 5 and 6, nor have i played Mk in awhile either. I have to admit that they could have done better with MK1 from what iv'e seen from watching videos, overall both games are special to me and i wanna get back into playing them.
I played Tekken 3 a lot in the 90s. I would say I'm 60% good at it. Skipped the rest until T7. My eldest son who started at T6 is annihilating me. Started at 0-30 then "improved" to 3-30 after 1 month of playing T7.
Thank god for the remote play / family sharing feature of steam, because of that I dodged buying MK1 since I never enjoyed playing that game compared to mkx and mk11. Really hope everyone will have fun when tekken 8 releases
You are going to see an obscene and vile name, teabagging you, ki charging you, DEMOLISHING YOU. But always here to help. That's the thing somewhat, the newer gen Tekken players are far more helpful imo. While I'm not heavy on YT, I've played and beaten the best consistently. I live in tri-state, but people from New Zealand, Brazil, even Poland ask for games and I help as much as I can. So the #1 thing going into T8 is to not be too prideful to ask for help. Best of blessings and DON'T REPORT NAMES 🙃
Newcomers to tekken shouldn't be afraid of learning the game. As long as u do damage to your enemy u can win a round and as long as u win a round u can without a doubt win a match so don't be afraid to learn this beautiful fighting game. take care brothers ✌️
So disappointed and vored with MK1 ALREADY. Played a lot of tekken 3 and 5 when i was younger. But havwnt touched it since. But I bought Tekken 8, and im SO excited for the release. Love your vids man, and looking forward to your Tekken vids!
Second this opinion, it isn't impossible to switch to Tekken. i jumped into my first tekken game 4 months ago playing tekken 7 having never played any tekken game before, i came from GG STrive and then Sf6. The first week was rough, doubly so because in Tekken7 there are very few new players so everyone just wiped the floor with me, i also chose one of the hardest characters for a new player to begin with (Steve) but i stuck with it and within a month I could hold my own against beginner and intermediate players, and after 3 months I was completely fine and even won a match against a Tekken God ranked steve player, he won like 10-1 but i still won quite a few rounds in the matches i lost which i felt quite proud off as winning against a high level player in a mirror match isn't easy. Tekken 8 will have much more new players so new players will definitely have a much easier transition than i did, but definitely stick with it. I played tekken 7 on a whim because it was on sale with no intention of sticking with it and i haven't booted up SF6 since and have moved completely over to tekken. Stick with it, it is EXTREMELY rewarding when you start to learn new things and there is always something to learn and improve at.
True Steve is one of the hardest can he can’t punish people for doing stupid stuff because he relies on counter hits,but if you use any other character they launch at 15 frames and have great whiff punishers so respect for using Steve 👍
DaddySwift here lol You proved my point here You said it yourself it’s one of the hardest fighting games out now. Now my tweet might scare some ppl but it’s the truth nonetheless.. it’ll take some guys a while to get used to it and it’ll be a lil frustrating…it was really directed to ppl who expected this game to be easy. I’m not upset here because I understand where u coming from…hope I get a chance to play you in T8!
Why are we always talking about "dufficulty" yes , of course it can be difficult if you hop online , but its a game ... first of all , the most important thing is to have fun with a game . And there's a ton of things to be happy and enjoy about tekken 8 content ! I'd start playing offline and have fun and then , maybe go online once you really feel like you are doing great .
The elitists dont even play at the highest level. Just ignore them. This is gonna sound cliche but the most important thing in Tekken is having fun! Because the journey to improvement is infinitely long! You NEED to enjoy the game to sustain you for the long haul. Have fun, learn one thing at a time, have fun with cheese strats, easy frame traps, oki flowcharts etc just so you can win some games and enjoy yourself and feel like you are making progress. Allow the fun to carry you into learning the mechanics, improving fundamentals and getting better. Thats been my journey as a 3 year Tekken player from grey ranks to Emperor.
I just started this, but I’m guessing you’re discussing Tekken players saying “don’t expect to win at Tekken” or “you’re in for a rude awakening”… um, learning is part of the fun of gaming in my opinion. I heard a few players say this… and I couldn’t imagine myself saying that to anyone wanting to get into an NRS game. I welcome anyone. What’s the worst case scenario in any game? You lose. “Oh no! I can’t go on! I lost, the horror..”. So ridiculous. Also, it’s funny to think that I was up in my attic room as a teen playing Tekken 1 before some of these Tekken “elites” existed lol. It’s the little things 😂
Tekken 8 is the best Tekken to start with. I grew up with Tekken, the game has never had that many features for beginners in it. We welcome any new player ❤
As an OG Tekken head, I welcome all of you! This video is really good and full of facts. Forget about wanting to win in the beginning and have fun learning. You will get rekt and that's okay. We all were there at one point. It's definitely rewarding in the end.
I hope MK games will go back into 3D fighting instead of 2.5D. I remember back on PS2 it felt so cool, that mk went from 2D to 3D, I loved MK4 and Deception
The last Tekken game I played was 6. We all had to start somewhere and eat plates of shit in the beginning, it's part of the process. The elitists are no different.
I usually play MK only, last time I played tekken it was like tekken2/3 on the arcade machines but teller 8 got me so hyped I bought it instantly hoped in and played the character “tower” fights and loved it
Tekken players swear they’re on some different level but as someone who plays both MK and Tekken regularly there’s just as many trash players in Tekken but they get away with taking advantage of less knowledgeable players and give themselves a big ego boost by doing so. It just takes time to learn. Don’t give up!
This makes me think about making a short video series for beginners, teaching every single technique from basic to pro level. Yes Tekken is hard but it's not as hard as people think. You can use 6 moves, forward and backward dash and still win even if you don't know the matchup.
One of the more important things to do outside of learning the gameplay is to not come in with an ego because you're good at MK. Tekken players have built themselves up on legacy skill, and have to go through monsterous amounts of labbing to understand everything, so it's a good idea to respect that, and if so then all the players joining will be respected too.
I honeslty understand the hate that MK 1 is getting at the moment. Lack of content is getting to the players, and they are bored to invasions. Me tho, I'm still loving MK 1, the detail, the gameplay and most of the other things I havent lost intrest since launch. I even had a moment of disinterest when season 2 launched, but wierdly enough, when season 3 launched I went back in and actually played the competitive mode. And with season 3 being two months long, they are obviosly planning for something, I just think we need to be patient, and if you are bored of the game, play another to pass the time for the next update to come in.
First tekken game and it is a wild ride but a fun one playing the game and finding a character that I think is cool and fun invests me into learning there buttons and I’d say I’m a pretty decent player now after 3-4 ish days of grinding
I actually am really enjoying the learning process of Tekken. Experimenting with combo trials for each character feels more like I'm learning a new instrument. That being said, I'm still comfortably in the honeymoon phase, so I'm sure Tekken gonna get abusive in a minute or two. XD This is my first Tekken though, and I'm glad I'll have a little extra time to learn combos and punishes before my choom picks it up, himself.
From someone who doesn't like MK, I would welcome anyone from any fighting game to come over to tekken. Tekken is a difficult, but don't let that hold you back. I've started since tekken 5 and made an inprovement in Tekken 7. Durring that jurny I've become a decent player and the learning process was probably the best I've ever had. I want everyone thats new to tekken to enjoy these amazing characters and comunicate with the community. Once again, anyone is welcome to come to tekken.
As someone who's been playing Tekken for many years i'll gladly welcome any Mortal Kombat players making the jump. It is a difficult game but... BUT it's not impossible to learn, if you're willing the put in the time to learning it will pay off, good luck making the jump guys. 🙏
It was the same thing with Elden Ring, people didn’t wanna play because of toxic souls fanbase when in reality Elden Ring was the most accessible/guided souls game out of the lot
Also one thing that should be noted I believe a big reason to why ppl gravitate towards mk is not because of skill but because it is one of the few American looking games some ppl can’t get past the super weeb screaming dramatic look of other fighters & mk is a western style game I believe is a huge reason before ppl ever pick up a game just off of the looks am I wrong?
Ive been playing tekken since tekken 3 and if your new learning the mechanics for the game are not hard just like he said its about your movement lets just hope the toxic mk1 players dont ruin it
Why the hell are Twitter Twits assuming that NRS players cannot transition into Tekken 8? As a fan of fighting games as a genre, i have learned the systems compatantly enough to enjoy the game. The system is part of the fun of each fighter.
Funny I came across this Video, i just left a comment on Maxmillion video yesterday on MK1 telling everyone to come on over to Tekken. 😂 But yeah, Tekken is a great game to play and just as exciting to watch high level play. This game is gonna be big and I think it will even have some SF fans jump on as well. 6 more days!!
Very good video a lot of people need to listen to that. Because you have to lose the wind and a lot of people don't understand that and it comes to this game. It's almost a commitment to be able to improve
I have been playinf Tekken 7 for a couple of years now. The online experience is vastly positive and friendly. There are a few bad apples here and there, yes. But overall, I got WAY more toxicity in mobas. xD People randomly add me on steam, they say gg. We compliment each other's gameplay and even offer each other help when they need match up knowledge. I had never made it to Fujin as a Yoshimitsu player if it wasn't for this random Tekken God Omega Panda player helping me iron out my Tekken fundamentals. Strangers here are mostly friendly. They even leave comments on my Steam complimenting my Yoshimitsu gameplay even if I'm not actually that good, tbh. I'm still learning. xD
I remember going to a local tourny back in the day for mk11, there was Tekken 7 also, played not much tekken 7 but still i subscribe into that t7 tourney aswel costed only 10 bucks so why not, ofc my ass got beated first round, but after that tekken players came to me and explained and showed a lot of stuff, so yeah i can safely say everyone is welcome in Tekken, and people will teach you, now i'm an descent Kazuya player
I have been able to somewhat learn Jin in the tekken 8 demo. I played Bryan a lot in tekken 7 so I will probably try to learn him in this game. I am excited to try out Raven, he looks sick. Can I add you on ps5?
I come from MK. My first tekken was tekken 5 dark resurrection. Try tekken you’ll never play mortal Kombat again. Biggest difference is 2D vs 3D, projectiles, punishment is more clear in tekken. Frame data was NEVER correct on MK. Tekken shows safe & unsafe moves. MK was more of a kids game imo. Fatalities will only ooh ahh you after seeing it like twice. Then it becomes meh…..
I've been playing tekken for 5-6 years now and i can tell It has always been like this, i personally think its content creators fault and, of course, social media. Some of the comments you mentioned usually come from people that doesnt even have that much experience in the game, theyre just pretentious and want to convince themselves that they know better by choosing to play tekken. If anyone reading wants to play the game i do NOT recommend going into reddit, X, etc before making the decision of playing, since those places can usually get you involve with these "characters" of the community. Not everyone is like that tho.
It’s crazy because I started playing tekken 3-8 I started learning combos on tekken tag 2 by my brother which I appreciate because if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be this good at the game I also began to learn from tournament players as well due seeing how good they are so. It’s ok to lose and get irritated over tekken because you don’t know how to move around and to these fundamentals so it’s hard over time but the more you play the more u will be better plz learn the game it will be fun sooo I will welcome all mk and streetfighter players ❤
Y’all still playing racist tekken ??😂😂😂😂😂
not racist but yes we playing it
Racist Tekken ??
Some of y'all aren't very smart......are you ?
my god, what a dumbass comment.
@@luckvol very racist. Of course u would play it. 😭😭😭
@@tobi8445 a racist tekken player talkin bout whose smart 😭😭😭🤡🤡🤡🤡.
Tekken has low entry level but the ceiling is INFINITE.
Every character is viable and you can win matches (no Johnny/Lao or Raiden/Kano cause they are literally the best due to “great balance” of the game). The customization, you can cover yourself in the drip you want FOR FREE. You don’t need those insane combos to win, get your bnbs, movement and learn matches.
Training mode is literally the best on the market. Music is blasting, literally bangers, even bangers from previous games thanks to jukebox mode. Tekken Ball is super fun if you don’t wanna fight and play a game of volleyball.
Everyone is welcome here!
There was a time with Leroy though, Let's not forget that, if we forget they'll do it again 👀

Tekken control scheme makes it more intuitive than most. A button for each limb just makes sense
So true, extend a warm welcome to discerning MK players who, without arrogance or pride, recognize issues in MK1 and contemplate transitioning to Tekken 8. Embracing such open-minded players fosters community growth and contributes to a more thriving scene for us Tekken fans.
Facts💯💯
I want buy Tekken 8 in Summer (hope will discount), I never played it before (only ps2). For me it's enough this trash mk1, that is reason why I bought sf6 and I like this game 👍
Demo Tekken 8 was cool 👍
Yeah . Because Mk fans are more demanding than most of the other fighging games . Not even close .
And thats why mk seems to get bad reputacion .
Since Mk 9 , every game NRs did , the same ' Pro players ' bad mouthing the games . Its never good .
Mk 9 was to broke . Theres no fundaments .
Mk x is braindead . Thers no footsies .
Injustice 1 is to slow . Needs more speed .
Mk 11 has footsies . Game is to slow . Gets boring very fast . MK X is a better game and more fun they say .
Injustice 2 . Same crap .
Mk 1 comes out .
Game feels boring , repetetive , stale .
Mk 9 ist the best mk 9 ever they say .
Yeah . The game you so called ' pros ' didnt touch .
Guys like TOM BRADY , Reo , FoxyGranpa , and other youtubers , are the ones who are always complaining .
Mk is not supposed go be SF or Tekken .
Every game has its identity .
Sf Tekken are great games , but dont tell us , MK players are , realizing the game as issues and jumped to Tekken . Ghats not happening buddy .
Thats all ' a youtube hype train ' sheep do to get validation .
I love tekken , but tekken also lost much of what tekken was all about .
Theres fireballs , teleports , dive kicks , spevials , armors , many characters fell the same . Tekken also changed . And not for the better on my opinion .
@@gimmesomechocho7878 Nobody said MK had to play like SF or Tekken though.... As a 2D fighter, it fails in aspects it really shouldn't have.
It's tag mechanic (kameo) is awful, characters special moves and inputs gets altered for no reason with every new entry, has the fastest drop-off rate in NRS history, didn't even make it into top 8 fighters in Combo Breaker 2024, yeah...I'm done here.
I want MK to do well but NRS doesn't seem to wanna even try anymore. I think Khameleon is a cool Kameo and they should try making other kameos as versatile as her...instead of just seeing Kung lao, striker and Kano
Thanks.
I've played the demo and loved it.
I've been a huge MK fan but MK1 is just horrible. Hope i adapt well with Tekken.
The thing i hate about the vocal minority of the tekken community is that they unknowingly do their absolute best to scare people away from their game. Im a tekken head myself but my god, the community is a bit thick in the head when it comes to treating newcomers.
I never get tired of tekken games, so i hope everyone will enjoy the game as much as i do
vocal minority are just very loud while the rest of us just mind our own business and enjoy the game lol
Like damn, idc if they got 1k+ wins, ill eventually break that streak and make them cry over it
That is legit the last thing Tekken players should do because Tag 2 was almost the death of the Tekken franchise. So scaring off people who want to try Tekken 8 is literally the dumbest thing they could do. They should be better and find ways to expand the community, not diminish it
Why the hell they wanna scare off the newcomers? Don't they wanna know why family members keep throwing each other off cliffs? Why there's a Bear, Panda, Sword Wielding Space Ninja thing, a Wrestler with a Jaguar Mask making jaguar noises in this game while understanding every language with no language barrier?
yep, every community has toxic fans
@@Matt_Underwoodthere’s a difference between them complaining or asking for help. a lot of noobs complain and cry about stuff instead of just learning the matchup or going in practice mode. but some complaints are valid and some tekken people reply with goofy comments but half the time it’s scrubs whining about scrub things
Tekken is not as intimidating as it seems. But I am happy this version is more welcoming to the newer folk. And there are plenty of Tekken players willing to help people
The biggest piece of advice I can give is make sure you're having fun, don't spend hours labbing Tekken if you don't enjoy it, not every game is for everyone, just start with some casual matches & then if you are enjoying it & want to get competitive then start labbing.
I wish I listened to this advice sooner, 'cause I learned the hard way after forcing myself to get into Tekken 7 for all the wrong reasons, knowing that I don't enjoy playing it. All it did was make me more miserable, and I came to the conclusion that I've become a people-pleaser.
So now that I know with absolute clarity that Tekken as a fighting game is not for me, I'm avoiding Tekken 8 altogether.
@@Awesmic1yea you should never play a game you dont have fun with happened to me with the open wold sort of games so ive taken a break
Tekken 8 is a far better game you can’t deny that. SF6, GGST and Granblue VSR even Skullgirls all have more things going on with them than MK. There is a new standard for fighting games and MK doesn’t even meet the bare minimum
Yeah, the fact that it launched without crossplay is just dumb
MK fighting mechanics isn’t even on par with today’s standards.
Mk gives more content than any fighting game for 20 years . Not even close .
Comparing Tekken to MK is just stupid .
Tekken its pretty easy .
If you go tekken to mk , they gonna get kn quickly ?! THey will also leave prwttu quicly , when a predator player stucks him ib a corner with overhead cancel low laser for 20 seconds 😂😂
In tekken , the execution its pretty basic . VF has way harder execution moves .
Tekken players and SF have always been kind of snobs .
Guilty Gear kof 12 have way harder game mechanics .
And dint bring me the ' Korean wave dash ' and kazuyas uppercut frame bs
Tekken is a wanking , backdash forward 2 hit combos from death .
And dont tell me i dont know what im talking about
Ive seen knee and all these so called ' pros ' playing
Tekken is boring to watching too .
And dont bring me the walls , the endless combos from one end of the stage to another .
People seem to have brainfarts .Mk combos take to long 😂😂
Remember Tekken 6 ?!! 😂😂 people , say the truth . Not that hard .
@@gimmesomechocho7878 Tekken has 30+ characters at launch with a minimum of 80 moves each. That fact alone makes Tekken the hardest to learn out of most fighting games. Tekken is not “easy”.
@@gimmesomechocho7878are you dumb or what?
The thing is. Tekken isn’t even a difficult game to pick up. It just has a high skill ceiling. It’s probably the easiest to pick up and have fun quickly of all the fighting games. Just mastering it is difficult.
Well it's been easy with low ceiling since Tekken 7 and even easier than that with Tekken 8
@@sky-oq5mr nah it’s easier than it was previously. But the skill ceiling isn’t low. It’s just the entry requirements is very low.
@@sky-oq5mrsure lets see if youre right because i only have one year of tekken experience and if u have more than 20 years then surely you should be able to beat me without breakong a sweat right?
if skill ceiling is low then why am i only learning 2 characters and not 32? Why am i still in orange rank when i should be TGO?
As a life long Tekken player you are 100% correct!!!!
@@cyberlox2ndgigdixon211 ye man. Been playing since t5. Inputs and input timing are forgiving as hell. Combos are easy. But when you get to a high level it’s about frame data and move properties. When to block punish, whiff punish, side step. And in a game with so many characters with so many moves for each one that’s when it becomes difficult. But anyone can pull of some flashy cool shit at low to early intermediate level of play and have fun (obviously not with all characters). It’s what makes the game great.
Tekken 8 looks sick. Im gonna play any fighting game that interests me no matter what.
I'm so sorry for all the bad apples in our community.
I feel both sides can be annoying. There's a vocal group of people who just suck and refuse to learn to win. All they do is cry cry.
@@waverazorLTG moment
It's a hard game but it is rewarding. Tekken just takes a lot of time. But never give up!
I didn't get serious in Tekken until Tekken 5 when I started taking my gameplay seriously
I love TEKKEN but some people need to chill out and stop gatekeeping this franchise almost like if TEKKEN is some kind of Boogeyman of the fighting games against newcomers.
TEKKEN is an amazing franchise,the soundtrack,the characters,the combos,the customization,if you're a newcomer you will be welcomed and you will love the games.
If an MK player is thinking of transitioning, please, PLEASE welcome them with the warmest of welcomes. Show them what NRS is denying them by pushing microtransactions and all that bs. They deserve an experience worth their time, and Tekken, SF, DBFz, you name it, has it for them.
Eh, I don't care. On the contrary, the least casuals the better. If all the mk and sf fans get on Tekken, we will get a bunch of complaints that the game isn't like mk and sf and demanding the game to change to be more casual and like mk.
Once enough transition, they become the majority and all of a sudden, mk fanboys decide what Tekken should be.
That is how modern gaming works. People DEMAND games to change to fit what they like. Souls games MUST have an easy mode or be super easy so anyone can finish them.
Armored core MUST be like souls games rather than the fkn franchise it has always been, because stats and parts are too hard and losing money isn't fun.
Tekken must be all about aggression because kbd and defense is too hard, so I should win by spamming moves even against players way better than me, because now the game's defense is all guessing forced 50/50s.
Mk fans will get me with open arms only and only once they learn the game and enjoy it for what it is, not the second they buy the game with their own expectations and zero skills, day 1 demanding balance changes, mudding the waters of actual real criticisms ("kazuya is too op. He has that one launch punishable string that does too much damage! Whaaaa 😭. His combos are too strong even though they do less damage than everyone else in the beta, whaaaa 😭")

You guys are the reason this video was made in the first place. What is this nonsense about? "I don't want more casuals in MY game" BRUH.
Games NEED casual people to thrive, I, am new to Tekken lmao, I'm just as "braindead" and "bad" as you say MK players are because I have never touched the franchise outside of TTT2 in a friend's house. The more casuals the game has, the better health the game will have.
What you're saying is bullshit, not all MK players and more so SF players are whiny babies, they are people trying to have fun, and Tekken delivers it, so, why not welcome them and try to make a smooth transition?
@@bertojo what a shock. The casual noob thinks casual noobs are needed and are healthy for a game.
Yet they are usually the loudest and most obnoxious about balance changes when they know nothing.
And so developers listen to these casual noobs. It's the reason Tekken 8 is as lame as it is, all about casual aggression, nerfing super hard the defense, making everything easier while taking away identity from characters (oh yeah, a character doing random shit that doesn't fit in Tekken while in heat, a dumb mechanic that shouldn't even exist in Tekken, gives them a lot of identity... Almost like it's the one thing that gave identity to street fighter 5 characters 🤔).
Oh and the Amazing casual controls, where the game plays for you, a pretty viable control scheme that has no reason to exist in ANY game, let alone Tekken.
But nah, "casuals are good for a game" as I watch Tekken become a shitty 2d knockoff based around pressing buttons like that trash sf6 or MK1.
2 more installments and Tekken is gonna be all about projectile spam and v triggers, with the only defensive option being brining meter that refills itself.
Fuk the casuals and mk/sf players. Play your own dumb game that you ruined yourselves.
Tekken is a somewhat difficult game to get into, but as good ole Sseth once said: "The game is not hard, not because the game itself is not hard, but because videogames, fundamentally, are not hard".
I’m just in the position where I started fighting games too late
@@bygxne0 Never too late, my friend. I first got into fighting games when I was a child with SF2 and I am still a casual lol.

Mortal komabt is my main fighting game but I can't deny it. Tekken is the superior fighting game and is not as hard as people make it out to be.
I been playing Tekken past 20 years don't play hard to me 🤷
These are just different systems. I mean SF2 Turbo set a foundation most games follow even today with regular and special moves, but Tekken is something else with a button for each limb. Once you grasp it becomes second nature but it is a wild leap to go from Hadoukens and Bycicle kicks to left punch, right punch, left kick.
@@Estmaraver I get there different systems but if we're judging it off which games have more longevity, more consistent, more skill, more characters, more content, more customization, more of a challenge and overall better company management etc it's tekken. Not to mention the nrs community is poison. Tekken community is pretty chill
@@gloriouss6352 I was not disputing any of that lol. Tekken is one of my favorite FGC franchises, I also love MK so it isn't a beef or rivalry for me. Tekken has a far more involved producer but that's Harada for you.
What I was saying is that , with the foundations set with SF, you can pretty much try Sf motions on most games and you'll most likely get something out of doing that, be it KOF, Skullgirls, GG, even MK too. With Tekken, very few characters have such inputs, you don't have a light, medium and fierce normals nor any supermoves.
Where most FGC games feel like cousins, Tekken feels like it's a whole new stranger and that's one of the main reasons it feels intimidating to pick up, with there also being a lot of legacy knowledge that new players have to pick up on. However, once you get into the flow of things, you can start having a blast and juggle people and keep growing and growing in skill.
I hope MK players pick up on Tekken 8, and also SF fans, and GG fans and DBF fans and anyone else for that matter. I love fighting games so seeing them succeed makes me happy. I also hope WB/NRS get their head out of their ass and fix the game stat.
Tekken is easy. To me: the hardest game to learn no joke was King of fighters.
MK, SF, TK & Guilty gear are pretty easy. Just about being quick and not repeating.
I am mainly a Tekken player and I would love for MK players to play Tekken, the elitism from certain people is very unnecessary, because those people probably do not realize that Tekken was almost dead because of Tag 2. The last thing they should do is scare off or gatekeep Tekken as a fighting game because they have no excuse to act the way they do. MK players, and other fighting game players, do not listen to those people and just try out Tekken 8, it is hella fun to play and also to learn, let's grow as a community👍🏽👍🏽
I wanna say, once you reach high ranks for some reason people will be rude and hate for little reason. I get someone messaging me everyday because they are mad. Rather than take responsibility for their actions, they rather message you telling you how bad you are or cursing, and all you're doing is playing for fun or maybe your siblings are playing. They are very toxic at high ranks. Smurfs are also toxic. They'll create another account just to make themselves seem like they've only been playing tekken for 20 hrs and then talk trash. Lol its funny tho, it's just like the little bitmoji avatars in arcade quest so serious and toxic for no reason. 😂
The hate messages are the best part of the online experience. Hate let's you know you did something right
Blocking and side stepping will be the biggest hurdle for people.
Don't forget wake up game.
I'm just happy about the potential new comers coming to enjoy Tekken8. Gotta welcome the new players with open arms. 🤝
some mfs act like im about to fight kratos when asking them how hard will it be to learn tekken 🤦♂️
Of course no because Kratos is in mk9.
The movement just takes a while to do properly.
Lol let me know how right they are after u "learn"
Learning tekken is easy, the problem is learning all the 10 knowledge checks each character has.
I actually think Tekken is pretty easy as far as execution goes and movement ain’t that bad either. What makes Tekken hard is knowing all the characters well enough to understand how to play against them all and just how good other humans are at playing Tekken. Playing the game is easy, executing the combos are very easy in a lot of cases, it’s consistently beating other good Tekken players that’s really hard
33yrs old & new to fighting games, SF6 was my first, played 100 hours (amazing game) then got MK1 (fun but got bored fast) Tekken 8 played several hours of the demo with Jin***, overwhelmed a bit with combos but the game is awesome. MK1 wasn’t as good as I was hoping and the micro transactions turned me away. As someone who is a single player gaming guy.
Love the love for my boy Jim. Such an underrated character🔥
@@bill_lee6221 jin! Lmao damn autocorrect
I am also 33 and new to fighting games. First bought Street fighter 6, but got bored quickly, then got MK 1 and loved it, out over 100 hours in it but then got bored with lack of content. So we,ve had a very similar experience although I come from a mostly fps background. That being said I'm beyond hype for Tekken 8.played the demo but didn't like the 4 characters on offer. Watching gameplay though and Reina and Azucena look really fun. Can't wait to play it.
Biggest advice to someone coming into Tekken from other fighting games is to just have fun…. The more you worry about winning, the more you’re gonna be frustrated with learning the game…been playing Tekken all my life from Tekken 4 and in Tekken 8 ranked I’m stuck at Assailant, there’s always gonna be someone who’s better than me or I could be the one who’s better than someone else but whether I’m losing or winning; I’m enjoying the game, learning the new mechanics, and appreciating the title as a whole
Love the comment
ok the replay simulation ability is absolutely sick. idk how this doesn’t have more attention?? this game is on a WHOLE other level i can’t wait!!!
Listen MK1 players, incase you haven't heard the announcer for almost every tekken game, let us say... "WELCOME TO THE KING OF IRON FIST TOURNAMENT", we welcome all newcomers, do not be afraid of the difficulty, and do not be afraid of losing. At the end of the day, everyone is here to Live, Learn, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!!! This game can be wacky, but that's like the best part!!! Give it time and maybe one day, you'll be Ki-charging on everyone like a pro, or a troll.
Im new to Tekken i gotta say nina is completely fun to play as
As a hardcore Tekken fan, I will admit...the learning curve is very high. It's one of those games where you have to put 1000 upon 1000 of hours into. You need to know frame data, punishment, movement, poking, and most importantly...match-up knowledge. There are 32 characters in Tekken 8, you need to learn all of them if you want to win games consistently. Don't worry though, you can watch your online match replays and have access to a fully fleshed out practice mode.
Another great video Mike. We're more than happy to have NRS players coming over to Tekken with open arms. I know you've probably never seen it before, but the replay-play(?) function in Tekken has actually been done before. It was used in Guilt Gear XX, all the way back in 2012. Funnily enough Under Night 2 is re-introducing the function when the game releases on the 22nd. While the function has been used before, it's barely in any fighting game despite how robust and useful it is. I believe it should be in every fighting game, and Tekken is the first step to make it mainstream.
As someone who plays the big 3 (sf,mk,tekken and some more) I will be playing tekken and def st6 more, but it doesn't mean im
not having fun with mk. Its a party game to me, i feel like thats not a negative thing. Its a win win for me, i dont have to hate every-game, i get to enjoy all of them.
That replay simulation is absolutely brilliant, i think you just convinced me to buy Tekken 8.
Going by how consistent the lifecycle of Tekken games seems to be while keeping its players generally happy, i think I need to finally hop on the tekken train
How to learn tekken:
1. Pick a character
2. Have fun
3. Never stop learning
4. Learn to have fun even when you lose.
As a former sf player who transitioned to tekken 8, i would say its not that hard to learn the game but god the skill ceiling is so high. I was Cruising through rank until i met veteran player who fucked me up so bad i went straight to practice to learn the matchup and how to punish.
I do agree but i hope the pros outside the scene dont think they can just walk into tekken and make top 8 at evo
That includes Sfox.
started playing mk when the hype for x was real, got it from steam and played... it was a good time, but didn't understand the hype, was it for the fatality and brutality? they were cool for the first time, then it become annoying af when tyhe enemy did one to me... bro just punch or kick and skip the bs, i wanna play. then i got tekken 7 and man.... what a choice i made that day... AMAZING game, also i didn't played any tekken prior to t7, picked Hwoarang, who's one of the most difficult character to learn... played 1/2 hours a day and not even all days of the week, still now it's my favourite fighting game, now tekken 8? man... if you are not playing tekken... what are you doing
Lol bro, its quite literally going from the easiest fighting game to the hardest. Downplay that if you want to , many people that play Tekken go to other fighting games and simply dominate, hell punk is a SF main and almost won a whole mk tournament just chillin lol, NOBODY comes to Tekken from any other game and dominates here on a professional level, if sonic fox has a hard time transitioning who wouldn't? Also those comments from twitter that u added, that's how we joke bro every one of those comments had a comedic tone to them, so try not to get "irritated" bcuz people who play the game are making a keen observation we don't need that NRS frustration over here lmao
I do feel a game being hard or easy has an element of subjectivity. I play SF, but my tekken friend has a hard time doing certain link combos and special move inputs, plinking and all the little quality of life tricks. Let's not even mention the chicken wing/tiger knee motion. So for him, SF is the hardest. And that's just the input. Gameplaywise, he can't fathom the meta around jumping and cross ups. I think MK combo system is piss-easy, but i struggle so hard on the meta.
At the end of the day, all games can be the most technical from certain povs. So lets all be respectul of others' games.
yeah im not good at clutch timing Dragon punches and such on SF and guilty gear not easy for me on the mechanical performance.
in tekken you can choose to play without such inputs and play a more defensive neutral the vaster move lists and type of characters allow for more diverse skill floors.
Yep difficulty will always be subjective.
I know high rank friends on Tekken 7 that were getting washed in SF6, and stopped playing it, they just couldn't deal with jumping and antiair. And the hitcofirm and combo execution was more difficult in SF, according to them.
A lot of people here saying Tekken’s movement will be a big hurdle for MK players but I think for long time MK fans it might be slightly familiar territory, people forget MK had some 3D games as well back in the day
My biggest turn off for other fighters are the massive crazy inputs for capcom and nrs. But tekken id say for combos its kinda easy, excluding electrics. But you start small and get better.
Id be surprised if MK players went to Tekken instead of SF6. The 3D movement is a massive hurdle to get over.
It's truly not that big of a hurdle
@@KaibaKaioh compared to going from MK to SF yes its a massive thing you need to learn.
MK is in fact more similar to Tekken than SF, because both MK and Tekken are 4 button fighting games and both of them use combo strings instead of link system in SF. I was a MK player till i tried Tekken 7 in 2017. Getting used to Tekken 7 was less pain in the ass than SF series.
@@kye4216 no its not bro. If you're good at fighting games and a quick learner it's not really that hard to get used to.
bro just bc its 3d doesnt make it massively harder to learn. the skill ceiling in tekken is the highest imo out of the 3 but to climb the first few ranked tiers can be done in just a few days of learning the game. I did that with T7 on christmas day 2023. Have never played a tekken game aside from T5 when i was a kid with my dad and twin, and bought T7 on sale for 10 dollars. Got to Genbu in just a couple of weeks with the game. @@kye4216
First time seeing a video from you Mike and as a King player since Tekken 1 to this day yes folks ignore the elitists no matter where you come from your a gaming brother to me and welcome to Tekken 8 I hope you enjoy your time with us.
This Will be my first tekken ever. Ive played mk since mk1 OG. Thanks for the video. Wish me luck on my new jorney!
Granted, I haven't played Tekken 8 yet, but most modern fighting games have a lower "barrier to entry" than every before. I'm a fighting game noob, and I can jump into any fighting game as a casual, have fun with my friends, and fumble my way through arcade and story modes. Sure, the COMPETITIVE scene has a higher skill level, but for most people who play casually (a few hours a week), you'll still have fun.
The coolest difference is that MK1 seems to have been already mostly figured out, while Tekken lets you build your own individual fighting style, experiment, and express yourself more. Mortal Kombat 1 doesn't feel as "rewarding" to learn (to me, at least) as the past Mortal Kombat's or some other fighting games. I'm much more of a Mortal Kombat guy overall, but progression matters in games. I want to feel rewarded for the time I put into them. And MK1 currently isn't as rewarding as its competitors.
Good to see your channel doing well man
Thank you, bro.
I'm not sure if "Tekken is the hardest fighting game" is necessarily true, though it IS true that it is very hard (but it's going to be tough for all the other people against you).
I've never really played NRS games but I liked an analogy someone put out that Tekken is like running a marathon, it all accumulates, whilst every NRS game is a sprint to how can milk out as much potential as they can while the game is still alive.
Nah but for real the single player content tekken 8 has either for fun or training is mind blowing, as you said i dropped my jaw when i saw the replay thing like bro every game should have that from now on.
And the ghost AI im not gonna talk about how INSANE this is.
You mentioned DBFZ, but as someone who came from that game, I found Tekken a lot easier to learn.
The thing with DBFZ is, right off the bat, it forces you to learn 3 different characters. That to me is already insane. People complain about the extensive 100+ movelist from Tekken characters, but I would MUCH rather have that, than have to learn 3 separate characters, each with their own moves and combos.
Not only that, but learning to use assists properly in DBFZ was WAY HARDER than anything I've ever had to do in Tekken. Plus stuff life meter management, and the fact that combos in DBFZ have a much stricter execution window. Like yes, the knowledge curve in Tekken is pretty steep, but not really something you have to worry about until much, much later. Not the case with DBFZ, where from the very first game, you're stuck with 3 new characters to learn, assists, meter, etc. Holy shit.
Basically all I'm saying is, if I had to introduce someone to a fighting game, I would say Tekken is by far the easier one to get into compared to DBFZ. It just always rubbed me off the wrong way when they put DBFZ in the "easier to learn" category.
*"Tekken is the most difficult"*
That was before SF6.
As of now i think SF6 is the most difficult game around and will be the hardest throughout this generation.
Tekken just has more moves and you learn how to utilize all of them the longer you play and rank up.
Same for match ups, the more you play and ascend in ranks the more you learn what to watch out for from other characters.
It happens gradually so you don't feel it.
Disagree. Whilst I wouldn't say SF6 is easy, it's very easy to grasp because it's scope isn't that grand. Tekkens complexities come in how much it offers. Just when you think you've learnt one match up, another shows up and makes you look like you know nothing. I never got that feeling in SF6. Drive Impact can be annoying, but it's a relatively small game so I don't feel like I'm learning a billion things at once, and it becomes easier to process.
Tekken elitists are few and far between compared to the number of players who just want to get people into the game and enjoy it, at least in my experience. Usually you have to go looking for them on twitter and twitter communities are usually clickbait toxic in general so I don't recommend actually socializing on twitter just in general. My advice and this is the same advice a ton of the other competitive players will say too, is just learn to enjoy the game and find the characters and gameplans you want to play first. Don't even worry about competing at all unless that's the sole reason the game is fun to you because that's not usually the fun part of the game for most people. As for learning the game, T8 has more features than ever that help you learn the game now and don't be scared to talk to people or opponents if they aren't toxic and ask for pointers or advice a ton of them are willing. This may sound elitists but I do think most of the MK players playing competitively are in for a rude awakening and won't stick with Tekken 8 since most of them likely won't be winning or doing as well as they think they should be doing. NinjaKilla is going to be killing it in T8 from what I've seen though, but he was never really only an NRS player, been around since at least the Tag 2 days. You should see PhiDX's T8 CNT/CBT matches with Ninjakilla, dude was already super optimized and whooping PhiDX who's one of the current best new Tekken competitors in the US. I'm real interested to see where NinjaKilla goes with Law in T8 later and any other (MK/NRS) players who'll stick around and put in the grind to get to a good competitive level. Also would be interesting if players start regularly identifying MK/NRS players in Tekken based on their gameplay alone.
That Asuka combo @2:07 was the first Tekken combo that I ever pulled off 😂
Anyways, Tekken has the most online content for teaching players. So it's actually easier to get into because in other games its often difficult to get adequate information and learning material. It doesn't help if a game is easier but u can't find enough learning material.
I'm a big Mk fan and always will be, i grew up playing Mk since i was 5, i also love Tekken, my friend introduced me to it. Even though i haven't played Tekken in years since 5 and 6, nor have i played Mk in awhile either. I have to admit that they could have done better with MK1 from what iv'e seen from watching videos, overall both games are special to me and i wanna get back into playing them.
I played Tekken 3 a lot in the 90s. I would say I'm 60% good at it.
Skipped the rest until T7.
My eldest son who started at T6 is annihilating me.
Started at 0-30 then "improved" to 3-30 after 1 month of playing T7.
Thank god for the remote play / family sharing feature of steam, because of that I dodged buying MK1 since I never enjoyed playing that game compared to mkx and mk11. Really hope everyone will have fun when tekken 8 releases
You are going to see an obscene and vile name, teabagging you, ki charging you, DEMOLISHING YOU. But always here to help. That's the thing somewhat, the newer gen Tekken players are far more helpful imo. While I'm not heavy on YT, I've played and beaten the best consistently. I live in tri-state, but people from New Zealand, Brazil, even Poland ask for games and I help as much as I can. So the #1 thing going into T8 is to not be too prideful to ask for help. Best of blessings and DON'T REPORT NAMES 🙃
Newcomers to tekken shouldn't be afraid of learning the game. As long as u do damage to your enemy u can win a round and as long as u win a round u can without a doubt win a match so don't be afraid to learn this beautiful fighting game. take care brothers ✌️
So disappointed and vored with MK1 ALREADY. Played a lot of tekken 3 and 5 when i was younger. But havwnt touched it since. But I bought Tekken 8, and im SO excited for the release. Love your vids man, and looking forward to your Tekken vids!
Im in love with Tekken since Tekken 1. Yeah im that old.😅
Not a fan of mortal combat, but this is inspiring. Keep trying your best in tekken. Because in tekken it’s about the gurney. ❤
Second this opinion, it isn't impossible to switch to Tekken. i jumped into my first tekken game 4 months ago playing tekken 7 having never played any tekken game before, i came from GG STrive and then Sf6.
The first week was rough, doubly so because in Tekken7 there are very few new players so everyone just wiped the floor with me, i also chose one of the hardest characters for a new player to begin with (Steve) but i stuck with it and within a month I could hold my own against beginner and intermediate players, and after 3 months I was completely fine and even won a match against a Tekken God ranked steve player, he won like 10-1 but i still won quite a few rounds in the matches i lost which i felt quite proud off as winning against a high level player in a mirror match isn't easy.
Tekken 8 will have much more new players so new players will definitely have a much easier transition than i did, but definitely stick with it. I played tekken 7 on a whim because it was on sale with no intention of sticking with it and i haven't booted up SF6 since and have moved completely over to tekken.
Stick with it, it is EXTREMELY rewarding when you start to learn new things and there is always something to learn and improve at.
True Steve is one of the hardest can he can’t punish people for doing stupid stuff because he relies on counter hits,but if you use any other character they launch at 15 frames and have great whiff punishers so respect for using Steve 👍
Tekken, and DOA, to me always was the definition of "easy to get in, hard to master"
That innovative mode sounds unreal.
DaddySwift here lol
You proved my point here
You said it yourself it’s one of the hardest fighting games out now. Now my tweet might scare some ppl but it’s the truth nonetheless.. it’ll take some guys a while to get used to it and it’ll be a lil frustrating…it was really directed to ppl who expected this game to be easy. I’m not upset here because I understand where u coming from…hope I get a chance to play you in T8!
Definitely. My PSN is RealMikeHollow. Happy to play everyone 👏🏾🙏🏾
Why are we always talking about "dufficulty" yes , of course it can be difficult if you hop online , but its a game ... first of all , the most important thing is to have fun with a game . And there's a ton of things to be happy and enjoy about tekken 8 content ! I'd start playing offline and have fun and then , maybe go online once you really feel like you are doing great .
The elitists dont even play at the highest level. Just ignore them. This is gonna sound cliche but the most important thing in Tekken is having fun! Because the journey to improvement is infinitely long! You NEED to enjoy the game to sustain you for the long haul. Have fun, learn one thing at a time, have fun with cheese strats, easy frame traps, oki flowcharts etc just so you can win some games and enjoy yourself and feel like you are making progress. Allow the fun to carry you into learning the mechanics, improving fundamentals and getting better. Thats been my journey as a 3 year Tekken player from grey ranks to Emperor.
I just started this, but I’m guessing you’re discussing Tekken players saying “don’t expect to win at Tekken” or “you’re in for a rude awakening”… um, learning is part of the fun of gaming in my opinion. I heard a few players say this… and I couldn’t imagine myself saying that to anyone wanting to get into an NRS game. I welcome anyone. What’s the worst case scenario in any game? You lose. “Oh no! I can’t go on! I lost, the horror..”. So ridiculous. Also, it’s funny to think that I was up in my attic room as a teen playing Tekken 1 before some of these Tekken “elites” existed lol. It’s the little things 😂
Tekken 8 is the best Tekken to start with. I grew up with Tekken, the game has never had that many features for beginners in it. We welcome any new player ❤
As an OG Tekken head, I welcome all of you! This video is really good and full of facts. Forget about wanting to win in the beginning and have fun learning. You will get rekt and that's okay. We all were there at one point. It's definitely rewarding in the end.
Awesome 👍 good job 👏 I have just joined your channel and we are connected now 🙂
Love your content Mike.
Thank you 🙏🏾
I hope MK games will go back into 3D fighting instead of 2.5D. I remember back on PS2 it felt so cool, that mk went from 2D to 3D, I loved MK4 and Deception
The last Tekken game I played was 6. We all had to start somewhere and eat plates of shit in the beginning, it's part of the process. The elitists are no different.
I usually play MK only, last time I played tekken it was like tekken2/3 on the arcade machines but teller 8 got me so hyped I bought it instantly hoped in and played the character “tower” fights and loved it
Tekken players swear they’re on some different level but as someone who plays both MK and Tekken regularly there’s just as many trash players in Tekken but they get away with taking advantage of less knowledgeable players and give themselves a big ego boost by doing so. It just takes time to learn. Don’t give up!
This makes me think about making a short video series for beginners, teaching every single technique from basic to pro level.
Yes Tekken is hard but it's not as hard as people think. You can use 6 moves, forward and backward dash and still win even if you don't know the matchup.
Come and join the Discord, brother. People in there could really benefit from a player like you.
discord.com/invite/vJpxTvXp
One of the more important things to do outside of learning the gameplay is to not come in with an ego because you're good at MK. Tekken players have built themselves up on legacy skill, and have to go through monsterous amounts of labbing to understand everything, so it's a good idea to respect that, and if so then all the players joining will be respected too.
I honeslty understand the hate that MK 1 is getting at the moment. Lack of content is getting to the players, and they are bored to invasions. Me tho, I'm still loving MK 1, the detail, the gameplay and most of the other things I havent lost intrest since launch. I even had a moment of disinterest when season 2 launched, but wierdly enough, when season 3 launched I went back in and actually played the competitive mode. And with season 3 being two months long, they are obviosly planning for something, I just think we need to be patient, and if you are bored of the game, play another to pass the time for the next update to come in.
First tekken game and it is a wild ride but a fun one playing the game and finding a character that I think is cool and fun invests me into learning there buttons and I’d say I’m a pretty decent player now after 3-4 ish days of grinding
I actually find it harder to transition from Tekken to MK personally. Been trying MKX offline and AI be kicking my ass
I actually am really enjoying the learning process of Tekken. Experimenting with combo trials for each character feels more like I'm learning a new instrument. That being said, I'm still comfortably in the honeymoon phase, so I'm sure Tekken gonna get abusive in a minute or two. XD This is my first Tekken though, and I'm glad I'll have a little extra time to learn combos and punishes before my choom picks it up, himself.
From someone who doesn't like MK, I would welcome anyone from any fighting game to come over to tekken. Tekken is a difficult, but don't let that hold you back. I've started since tekken 5 and made an inprovement in Tekken 7. Durring that jurny I've become a decent player and the learning process was probably the best I've ever had. I want everyone thats new to tekken to enjoy these amazing characters and comunicate with the community. Once again, anyone is welcome to come to tekken.
As someone who's been playing Tekken for many years i'll gladly welcome any Mortal Kombat players making the jump.
It is a difficult game but... BUT it's not impossible to learn, if you're willing the put in the time to learning it will pay off, good luck making the jump guys. 🙏
It was the same thing with Elden Ring, people didn’t wanna play because of toxic souls fanbase when in reality Elden Ring was the most accessible/guided souls game out of the lot
Also one thing that should be noted I believe a big reason to why ppl gravitate towards mk is not because of skill but because it is one of the few American looking games some ppl can’t get past the super weeb screaming dramatic look of other fighters & mk is a western style game I believe is a huge reason before ppl ever pick up a game just off of the looks am I wrong?
Yeah like one comment guy said. Nrs players are fine. Just get ready to see weirder customizations.
Ive been playing tekken since tekken 3 and if your new learning the mechanics for the game are not hard just like he said its about your movement lets just hope the toxic mk1 players dont ruin it
Why the hell are Twitter Twits assuming that NRS players cannot transition into Tekken 8? As a fan of fighting games as a genre, i have learned the systems compatantly enough to enjoy the game. The system is part of the fun of each fighter.
Thanks for reading my comment on your last video. Looking forward to yours and Fates discussion live stream.
Funny I came across this Video, i just left a comment on Maxmillion video yesterday on MK1 telling everyone to come on over to Tekken. 😂 But yeah, Tekken is a great game to play and just as exciting to watch high level play. This game is gonna be big and I think it will even have some SF fans jump on as well. 6 more days!!
Very good video a lot of people need to listen to that. Because you have to lose the wind and a lot of people don't understand that and it comes to this game.
It's almost a commitment to be able to improve
I have been playinf Tekken 7 for a couple of years now. The online experience is vastly positive and friendly. There are a few bad apples here and there, yes. But overall, I got WAY more toxicity in mobas. xD
People randomly add me on steam, they say gg. We compliment each other's gameplay and even offer each other help when they need match up knowledge.
I had never made it to Fujin as a Yoshimitsu player if it wasn't for this random Tekken God Omega Panda player helping me iron out my Tekken fundamentals.
Strangers here are mostly friendly. They even leave comments on my Steam complimenting my Yoshimitsu gameplay even if I'm not actually that good, tbh. I'm still learning. xD
A lot of these new features aren't just great for new players but Tekken veterans as well
I remember going to a local tourny back in the day for mk11, there was Tekken 7 also, played not much tekken 7 but still i subscribe into that t7 tourney aswel costed only 10 bucks so why not, ofc my ass got beated first round, but after that tekken players came to me and explained and showed a lot of stuff, so yeah i can safely say everyone is welcome in Tekken, and people will teach you, now i'm an descent Kazuya player
I have been able to somewhat learn Jin in the tekken 8 demo. I played Bryan a lot in tekken 7 so I will probably try to learn him in this game. I am excited to try out Raven, he looks sick. Can I add you on ps5?
Of course. My ID is RealMikeHollow bro.
25+year veteran here, I welcome all the newcomers. You will make my climb in rank easier lmao 🤣
Excellent video, I hope people jump into Tekken and genuinely have fun
I come from MK. My first tekken was tekken 5 dark resurrection. Try tekken you’ll never play mortal Kombat again. Biggest difference is 2D vs 3D, projectiles, punishment is more clear in tekken. Frame data was NEVER correct on MK. Tekken shows safe & unsafe moves. MK was more of a kids game imo. Fatalities will only ooh ahh you after seeing it like twice. Then it becomes meh…..
I've been playing tekken for 5-6 years now and i can tell It has always been like this, i personally think its content creators fault and, of course, social media.
Some of the comments you mentioned usually come from people that doesnt even have that much experience in the game, theyre just pretentious and want to convince themselves that they know better by choosing to play tekken.
If anyone reading wants to play the game i do NOT recommend going into reddit, X, etc before making the decision of playing, since those places can usually get you involve with these "characters" of the community.
Not everyone is like that tho.
Tekken 8 is just overall the better game. 325hrs in sf6 and only 2 hours in MK1. Tekken is just amazing and learning combos are super fun.
It’s crazy because I started playing tekken 3-8 I started learning combos on tekken tag 2 by my brother which I appreciate because if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be this good at the game I also began to learn from tournament players as well due seeing how good they are so. It’s ok to lose and get irritated over tekken because you don’t know how to move around and to these fundamentals so it’s hard over time but the more you play the more u will be better plz learn the game it will be fun sooo I will welcome all mk and streetfighter players ❤
Get ready for the next battle everyone!
This going to be my first tekken since like tekken 4
I managed to become an intermediate player in Tekken without any previous experience with fighting games. MK veterans will probably be just fine.
Yes, but will I will be able to play Yoshimitsu?
