Tekken 8 Post-Release Discussion Thread

[LEGEND]

It could make sense that you'd want to save bigger guests for later in the games life to keep the hype going. Tekken 8 is still going strong right now.

I was just in Japan for a few weeks, and FF stuff is everywhere, convenience store isles, billboards etc so idk I'm guessing they're more stoked about this. Like if they added a C tier Marvel/DC character to the roster people in Japan and Korea would be left scratching their heads (like us with Clive) but people here would probably be pretty hype. They're just playing to the audience that they are more familiar with, and that may well be larger.

Or next DLC character is Lightning from FF13.

What's wrong with Clive?
Also, didn't they basically do this with Negan?

 

[LEGEND]

Punishment training has been heavily improved eh?

Don't remember the hard mode existing

Clive looks fairly braindead. Can't imagine this character surviving a couple patches.

Damage and wall carry HAVE to go. His kit also seems over tuned but we'll see.

Yea tbh after this weekend I might have to take a bit of a break until the Clive usage dies down and/or he gets nerfed. But even if he is nerfed I just don't want to play against this character. Not fun to play against even if you win. His design is pretty much everything I feared it would be combined and it's legitimately making me lose interest.

Its about to be alot worse now that he's released for non pass holders. I've just been doing quick match for the past couple of days so i've only ran into a handful, can't imagine what ranked looked like, and will look like for the coming weeks.

remains to be seen. He's at very least annoying/difficult to fight against, and gets way too much damage and wall carry off his hits.

Damn that sounds very annoying

Yeah will see how things play put but yeah, not suprising that a guest chracter in tekken turns out busted as fuck, its their MO.

There's a few things he has that are just stupid, like for example on the Coliseum stage this guy can literally wall Carry from start position to the wall. Utterly ridiculous. From range 3 he has moves that can hit you, and of course safe mid long range homing moves. Lots of stupidity. How "good" he'll be the jury is still out, but he obviously won't be bad, and is just an annoying unenjoyable experience to fight against. Almost feels intentionally stupid to double down on their decision to include him.

 

[PrinceGoro]

Yeah thats worst case scenarion, when you dislike the charscter itself and then on top of that the character is a nightmare to deal with lol. The wall carry sounds absolutely absurd like wtf.
