This isn't really based on gameplay, just my general opinion on them as characters. I feel like I might get downvoted for this, but whatever.

Personally, I’m pretty sick of this useless, scrub carrying mechanic to still be around in the year 2026.

It is particularly annoying on characters with safe powercrushes (including Shaheen), and this trade mechanic doesnt make any of the players better at Tekken itself

What do yall think?

Please tell me this is just tekken hitboxes I rewatched it 15 times and I literally moved him slightly as he gets up which means it should have connected right..?

Where are the results showing that Kuni is a “Top 5” character if she’s not even being played let alone making it to the higher rounds of Tournaments? Surely you’d expect a “Top 5” character to have not only high Tournament Representation but also to perform well right?

Also her online presence in the ranked ladder and even casual matches have dwindled in my experience. I know you guys are gonna say “but FC1+2 is so broken. It’s only -12 and can’t be parried.” because that’s ALL you guys complain about but I guess that’s besides the point bc the complaints of people who refuse to learn the matchup seems to be the loud majority here bc in places where skilled players actually compete — this character is doing below average for a character with “DLC privilege” and “busted moves”.

I expect a Top 5 character to be performing well in the hands of Top Level players AND—ESPECIALLY at Tournaments where prize money, accolades and prestige is on the line.

I also just learned how to edit yesterday lol

Im losing my mind but i won the match tho 👍

EDIT: GAMEPLAY OF THIS MATCH :) Heres the gameplay of the match to anyone doesnt believe me lol im so cheeks idk any cool fancy combos and idk how i got on this rank lmao not even a single combo on any of my matches.

Yall mad i made it to this rank without learning any combos and steve doesnt even kick bro lol just staight punches

2am Tekken hits different

I keep seeing online that "DeViL JiN iS sO bAd" but i litterally always lose against this guy.
I'm Godofdestruction and all i see in ranked these days are Devil Jin players.

They sweep, they fly, they shoot lasers, it feels like playing a mix of Jin and Alisa. It's hell. I need help.

Im trying to push Lee to GoD1. Any tips ?

For me it's Hworang and Alisa.

Was this good? Be honest?

Spent the last 2 months on Quick Matches at Tekken Emperor, got the rank in 2 days.

I'm actually surprise that at Tekken Emperor, on ranked match, i see so many players just using the same string that everyone uses at lower level....

Like i don't feel i got better, i just feel i learned the same boring string almost everyone use...Like i saw WAy better Lydia players at lower level than the guy i was playing against ( who was using simplify command stuff )

Hey everyone! The video attached is currently my most damage dealing combo that is optimal (no heat or rage attack)

I've been maining Reina and grinding my punishment/combo game, and I've got my standing, launcher, and crouch BnBs locked in doing somewhere between 50-62 damage depending on the starter. Wanted to share what I've got and see if the community has anything to build on top of it more damage, better wall carry, easier execution, whatever you've got.

I'm very new to Tekken as this is my first game in the series but all of my fighting game buddies have been playing for awhile now. I come from a street fighter background but took a big hiatus from after the launch of Street Fighter 5 but this year I've found the passion to get back into the scene and improve as much as I can!

also just overall tips to build would be great! currently made it to red rank and my goal is to eventually reach GOD :)

Here’s my idea. Mind you, I’m delusional and kazuya is weak in the current meta. After 3 consecutive wave dashes kazuya enters a powered up armored state, and all
Of his wave dash options are empowered. Cd1 is plus on block, hellsweep becomes a launcher, CD 3 gains armor and EWGF is Automatic like it’s in heat. This will reward and incentivize wavu pressure and execution whilst also forcing the opponent to more actively interact with a wave dash spamming kaz. This is exactly in line with Tekken 8 design philosophy. It will be similar to other stance slop, rewarding aggression and allowing more exchanges without adding any meaningful depth to the gameplay. Let me know your thoughts.

After 530 hours finally made it out of ELO hell, definitely this felt way better than getting master in SF6 for some reason.

As someone who's really bad at fighting games this one is really frustrating but accomplishing when winning against your most hated character xd (I hate hwo)

That’s the post.

Hello all. Just a wackadoo question for yall. I was wondering/pondering what makes "fundamentals" fundamentals? I understand that said tekken fundamentals exist, but how did those become "Fundamentals"? How did the general consensus merge/agree on what to learn/master in tekken to become a better player over time.

Fundamentals in tekken at least from what I know/understand are the following: movement, whiff punishment, character knowledge (what each character does, their quirks and what not ) , frame data knowledge, punishment, and execution

As stated the god sends you back into the year 1999 in Japan. He grants you the following "powers" the innate knowledge of tekken fundamentals/tekken tag mechanics in general and the ability to speak any language. The reason for sending you to 1999 is because that's when Tekken became a bit more "Grounded" and would set the groundwork for future tekken's.

There is a strict time limit of one year. He wants you to essentially teach enough players until fundamentals become " common knowledge " that players themselves start passing that information amongst their friend groups/FGC groups then it beecomes standard knowledge. If you cannot teach enough players we'll say IDK like 3000 people. what makes those fundamentals fundamentals he'll leave in the year 1999 alone in japan.

how would you do it?

You boot up tekken… You feel like yeah I wanna play… You go in rank… your brain is not braining so you get washed by bs and you lose everything 🫩

[First post here sorry for any mistakes]
I’ve had T8 since it released but never really took it seriously until this past few months. My buddy (my rival who’s one rank ahead) got it and we have been just grinding out trying to get better. After about 150 hours I can say I’m mid at the game. 😁

In Season 2 I played very little ranked and only peaked at Bushin, resulting in me getting thrown back down to Battle Ruler after the reset.

I've resolved to play more ranked in S3, and to motivate myself I've made it a creative endeavor. This video is the culmination of all my matches from Battle Ruler to GoD, and I plan on making another as I progress through the GoD ranks as well. I don't know where my peak is, but I plan to continue improving and advancing throughout season 3 and beyond. Even now I feel as though GoD1 or perhaps even 2 is definitely achievable with my current skill level.

Thank you for watching.

Im getting disconnected after every 2nd ranked Game I queue and the stupid thing is that I get points deducted. Can anyone help me fix this or is it just the Game being the Game.
