      I agree with you on that. I've met many players who clearly got carried by their character rather than their own skills. And even if I win against those players I don't feel happy but anger due to the state of the game.
      These players rely heavily on those launchers and combos that take 50 - 60% health, they lack serious fundamentals. If it adds any context I main Steve by the way and boy is it tough out there with all these gimmicks.

      Would be the case if the costs of development and scope weren't as large. A game that flops (low sales, low player base etc.) usually gets no sequel. No company is going to greenlight a 40-100m usd for a project thta previously flopped or even wasn't as finincially sound. That's the reality of gaming in the AAA space, and it won't change until investment from big companies diminishes to aorund 20% of what it is today, as it is much easier to lose 2m than 10m+

      Tekken 8 is a very attractive game for newcomers to fighting games. 2 of my friends who’ve never played a fighting game purchased it at full price. 3 others have stated interested in purchasing the game prior to the formers purchase. The average layperson is a “graphics first” type person and tekken has basicaly the best graphics in the “popular” fighting game scene

And then not too soon after he twitted that. He lost to that Lili TGU and complained. He lost to some other guy and complained that it was his controller, etc, etc. He only complains about the game if he's not beating everyone.

      Naw let's use our critical thinking hat here. Arslan went all in on Tekken and got sponsored, his life style depends on winning tourneys or at least placing high. If he got knocked out at 65th that's a big blow to his image. It's crazy he's saying " one launcher + 1 50/50" when every character has get off me tools in their kits everyone has to respect. And the universal armor of heat. The problem is he can't just "figure out" Tekken 8 like he could Tekken 7, in this game you can't just lab a character and know 90 percent how to beat them.

      He's just not though? He popped on the scene in Tekken 7, the most defensive, one dimensional, CH string heavy version of the game and spammed back dash and jab with kazumi. He then tier hopped through the DLC characters till the end of T7. Now that people have actual threats other than 2 moves like in T7 all the sudden, "the games bad", "It's just launch and 50/50". Lol T7 was just launch and the round was over so everyone just poked all day and kbd.

      A lot of people argue that his opinions on the game are tied to his performance. When he does well he's positive, when he loses it's the complete opposite. I remember at the start of the year when all that Xiaoyu drama happened because Yoredz beat him decisively in a FT10. We had people on twitter seriously wanting to delete entire moves of Xiaoyu's all because of the shitstorm Arslan & Knee caused on twitter after they played him. And now? Nobody cares anymore despite her remaining relatively untouched.

He also has a history of being salty on twitter. The current champion of Tekken is undeniably Ulsan, who has only commented on the matter to make fun of people saying that the TK7 defensive playstyle should come back because it was boring and unfun to watch.

    I think the issue isn’t just the 50/50’s it’s the character’s frame data when applying it. When Kazuya ops for oki using FF
    4 or Hell sweep, if it is blocked kazuya’s turn is recognizably over and he takes a full combo. Most characters that are top tier never give up their turn while applying their true 50/50s. You’re locked in a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. It’s even worse when the opponent is a xiaoyu and every move looks like it can either go mid or low.

At this point, Tekken deserves to die and hopefully be replaced by a 3D fighting game that respects its players.

    What you have to understand is that Tekken has always been a 2-3 touch game and snowballs easily the reason why tekken 7 was so alow was because you can gey counterhit or low parry randomly and just die after a wallcombo and they made movement so shit while every string had amazing tracking it felt like you were forced to play a 2D game with just backdash and dash forward avoid a counterhit thats the reason why Tekken 8 released with heat what I dont like about T8 is that you can be put into a 50/50 guess more often but not having the tools to like backdash out of shit hurts a lot

In T7 era, there would be a minimum of 10 setups with people queing up to play. I went yesterday for Tekken 8 (which I primarily went to see people, not play the game) and Tekken was relegated to a corner with 4 set-ups with everything else being street fighter and other retro fighters. I was there for 5 hours and people were not queuing to play. Set-ups were vacant, and there was zero hype. Spoke to members of the community only to be told most of the guys I grew up playing T7 stopped playing because they disliked T8. It actually made me sad, but I completely understood it. Were 10 months into the game and the competitive scene in my capital city is already dead. No one cares about this game, and I saw it first hand in my own community.

    As somebody who - not a Fighting game player altough I am invested in Tekken as a fan - likes to put alot of thought into Game Design that realistically works, I think the first part of the video has some potential for T8's redesign needs. Make aggressiveness more of a neutral, where sidestepping and contesting small frame advantages lead to more smaller combo trades. That way we could have alot of creative player interaction while giving more options to 50/50 without losing the aggressive idenity
    Just an inspiration for a thought direction - what would you change/add?

      Thing is, it's already a thing with T4, even with backdash and sidestep nerfed, the game focused more on mini combos and tracking aren't as fierce as modern game since T6 (T6's tracking is considered tame, you know). EWGF didn't even launch on normal hit, generic launchers generally more linear, CH launches are specialty, juggles are limited and often very hard, only some of them like Lee had better juggles than the others. But of course everybody thinks the game's bad because of it's jankiness and balancing issues, but nobody considers the core gameplay and dismisses T4 entirely.

    Consider a breaker system that will make your character drop straight to the ground during a combo like MK. And it would use a chunk of heat as well making it a defensive tool as well as offensive.
