I haven't played a Tekken since the PS1 but had a lot of fun with the demo so I bought it.

Is there an equivalent to supercombo.gg for Tekken?

The Applay Spreadsheet was one of the best resources for Tekken 7 and it looks like they are going to keep things up for 8:

Me too. Preloaded and ready. First Tekken game since PS1. Just when I feel like I got a handle on SF6, time for something completely different.

Real glad they didn't do a shader precompilation, I really love my game chugging every time it loads a new character

I'm absolutely shocked he didn't mentio the lack of shader compliation

At first I thought Arcade Quest was going to be a much better, more concise (relatively speaking) tutorial than SF6's World Tour mode but I came away extremely unimpressed by it from the standpoint of someone who is new to Tekken (other than playing 30 years ago). It drip feeds you explanations of mechanics which would be great, slowly ramping you up in complexity, except IMO it does a piss poor job of explaining things.

Once I got the extreme basics down I hopped in online and havnet looked back, it's so much fun. No disrespect to Street Fighter but this definitely has a lower floor since mashing will probably result in at least something happening. Every match I've felt like I've learned something compared to my "forever-bronze wow my execution sucks what am i even doing" SF6 experience.

Really glad I bought this.

Namco seem to have totally disavowed the PSX Tekken 2 soundtrack - you can get both Arcade and PS2 versions of the Tekken 3 and Tag soundtracks on Spotify, but T2 PSX is nowhere to be seen

I'd have to go look at it track by track but the jukebox is only missing a handful of tracks from it since T2 reuses a lot from T1 but the glaring omissions are yoshis and Black Winter Night Sky so maybe it is vocal licensing issues.

I just fought what might have been only the 2nd Xiaoyu I've ever faced and each and every round she'd lead off with some weird low kick/slide combo thing that i'm too dumb to avoid
so 2nd game I'm like "I got this" :smuggo:

Made it up into the greens. I surely do hate fighting Victor, every single one I've faced does 15 hit juggle combos over and over and I don't get to play.

I am not sure if it is my connection but games in the ~60s feel perfect but jumping to the 80s it feels really choppy. Enjoying the game a lot, is there anyway to check disconnect % on your own profile? The first day I crashed so much I'm a bit worried if it carried over, but have not seen anyone with any DC rate.

In my experience games with ping over 80 are still pretty decent and games against wifi users are still playable but if they're both of those things it's a loving unplayable nightmare

Re: pluggers/quitters/one-and-done players - I haven't had a plug pulled on me or a ragequit yet but it's not unique to ranked, as I went into Tekken lounge to do some unranked matches and the majority of those were one and done affairs. I've heard a lot of people view the character I play, Kuma, as a "joke" character and I can't help but wonder if people just don't want to play against a martial arts practising bear in their serious fighting game where a woman with THE DEVIL in her arm can fight against a French super spy with a teleporter and a katana or a luchador in a jaguar mask that speaks solely in cat growls and everyone understands him just fine.

What surprised me was how solid the connection was in the WiFi matches. I'd still never play against a WiFi player in ranked (and reading what people are saying about PC issues I'll consider ducking those on the reg) but I had no lag and no stuttering last night which was cool. :)

One and doneing is not limited to any one character or matchup
