Hello and welcome to the 8th King of Iron Fist Tournament this time with 100% less Heihachi! This is a brand new game so it's time for a brand new thread! Let's get to the questions:

What's Tekken?
Tekken is the world's biggest 3d fighter (rip doa/vf/sc/bloody roar) known for its rich movement, flashy combos and tactical gameplay.

What's the difference between 7 and 8?
Oh my god there's so much

The big one is the new heat system where there's a small bar under your health bar that tracks a new resource called heat which lets you do new combos and moves. This is extremely reductionist, and we don't know the full extent of its powers yet.

How's the netcode? Will I be getting ready for the next battle for a long time?
8's netcode is greatly improved over 7's 3 netcode. They fixed load times! Thank god

Do I need a fancy controller to win?
No, absolutely not. In fact, I find stick to be harder than hitbox or controller for tekken because of how movement works. Most of the top American players use standard Dualsenses for combat.

When is the game coming out?
Game's out on the 26th of January.

Does this game have CROSSPLAY/integrated matchmaking servers?
Yes, Harada in his Harada-y way announced crossplay by saying that we're all ingrates. Yippee. The game will be out on steam, ps5 and xbox series.

What's the story on about?
Beats me. Heihachi's dead (got thrown into a pit of lava rip) and now there's this new girl with Heihachi's moveset roaming around. And Jun's back???????????????? Things are getting CRAZY in my Tekken!

Get Ready For The Next Battle!

Put Akuma and Geese in again Harada you coward.

I had a conversation the other day with a person who said that if they add another 2D character she's out of Tekken forever

My dude I'm "maining" Kuma and I struggle to find people who don't just bail after the first match because there's no room for a bear in star glasses and a top hat in their serious karate man fight game. :(

But when I do find a Kuma mirror you better believe I am dissecting that poo poo in replays afterwards to find new tech to incorporate.

Edit:

Maybe we'll meet each other down the road, share a salmon, play with a beach ball, take a nap, just have a good time. :)

you know you can just add each other as tekken friends and play

Tekken the game is excellent.

Tekken the aesthetic is hot loving garbage.

I feel like they know though cause I'm wearing a traffic cone hat, a Hawaiian shirt, acid wash jeans and groucho glasses hahaha

Celebration on the seine is one of the greatest songs in fighting game history
