What went wrong?
Tekken 8
dude if everyone is OP no one is OP lmao
nips stopped caring about making good games because you’ll buy it anyways
holy kek those autists work fast
Playskool My First Fighting Game
FPBP
Tekkasino 8
What if the guy in charge of tekken was someone that doesn't understand why anyone would want to use 3 dimensional movement in a 3d fighter
It's not even that imo.
There's still fucked up balancing in the game, it's just that the update completely homogenized how everyone plays now. T8 was already a game that did already mostly did away with these things called "defense" and "movement" but there was still a tiny smidge of that shit still left in the game.
S2 update lobotomized the game and turned it into pure unga garbage on the level of DNF Duel, devs got so caught up in making the game look HOOYPE in tournaments that they forgot to consider if the game is actually any fun to play in such a state.
Where can I get a summary of how they fucked things up
Kekken 8 and Shit Fighter 6 have turned into a casino fiesta, with endless 50-50s and other mechanical bullshit
Fatal fury sold out to brazil monkeys with Ronaldo
Guilty gear is old and forgotten
Virtual Fighter looks mid
MK games have turned into capeshit, and their fatalities are boring
Its over for fighting games, isnt it?
Bum ass niggas using King and Jun mashing and popping heat EVERY NIGHT.
it is that considering that half the patches were about "the char has a weakness, so we fixed it", the homogenization is just a side effect of their sheer incompetence and complete misunderstanding on how to make an aggressive game
what happened this time, did they add another mtx store to the game or something?
Fighting games nowadays are party games.
Turns out, the April Fool was the Tekken fanbase as the latest update made a "balance" patch by functionally removing all defensive options, so the game is an unga bunga fest with dial-a-combos that do 60+% of your health.
If Fatal Fury's biggest sin is that it put a soccer player in the game, I'm riding with that one.
Ronaldo is weird, but at least the gameplay isn't utterly fucked like in SF6 or T8.
What went wrong?
It's time to take the bluepill
awhole week before the patch he said it was gonna be a disaster and people got mad
here we are
But Maximilian said Sneed Fighter 6 was good and it's just overhated by tryhards.
this
FF getting the BRs to play only helps increase the player count. Who honestly gives a fuck.
At least he looks somewhat interesting.
demo was fun too all things considered
You know fighting games are fucked right now when goddamn Granblue and Fatal Fury are looking like the most appealing modern options from a gameplay perspective.
Man I wish I had played the game more during season 1 now. It looks like 8 is just going to get worse and worse from here.
Maybe we should all just go back to 7 so I can play Kazumi again.
I would rather have Tekken 8 add 20 Ronaldos to the roster over whatever the fuck they just did to the game with the last update.
Duck King was also soft confirmed to be joining, so SNK fans are eating good finally
crazy to think FF is third in entrants at evo this year
complaint since day one has been that the game is too aggressive and defence is next to impossible
double down on making it even more aggressive when saying you're improving defence
I tried out the patch for a few hours and the moment your turn is over, you're just fucked cause you're stuck with no way out.
S2 update lobotomized the game and turned it into pure unga garbage on the level of DNF Duel
Oh, so it's good now
Fatal Fury was supposed to be bad?
Guess rollback netcode couldn't save that one
what the fuck happened, how did it get so low?
also is a krom kumite good enough? which fightstick should i get if i'm going to play some fightan and metal slug?
I hate combo heavy games where you lose half your health in one combo. That's not fun, it's just picking the right reaction and then being rewarded with a minigame. Those fighting games are worse Warioware and other minigame collections.
The best fighting games rely on many exchanges throughout the match, and with enough health to really get a read on your opponent. I'd say the best fighting game would have no combos at all, or combos just being a gimmick for a character or two.
I thought Anna was suppose to save the game?
fighting game casual faggots "good players" have been brainwashed to think their combos, oki coin flips, frame traps and ((((((((((((((((((((RESOURCE MANAGEMENTMENT KEK )))))))))))))))))))))))) are any showcase of any skill relevent to playing a 2 player game. They are retarded and must be purged from existence forever.
Don't people love Marvel vs Capcom games even though those were "get hit once, lose"?
SF6 coming out on the switch 2 is gonna kill tekken lol
nta but the fact that people are unironically saying stuff like
That new Fatal Fury looks like a better game than Tekken/Street Fighter
Just sounds weird in 2025, SF and Tekken should be the faces that run the place since they have so much pedigree and backing behind them. And yet they're the two fighters that are shitting the gameplay bed the hardest.
Bloody Roar is coming bacl soon. Trust.
It's less Fatal Fury being good and more how unbelievably shit SF6 and Tekken 8 are.
T8 especially since it already started out bad and is somehow getting way worse.
yeah, i'm thinking it's time to go back to grub
do you know if the stuff with the .exe still works and where i can get it? the one i used stopped working after lucilius' patch
I think resource management could make for a good (...or at least interesting) fighting game. But it actually has to matter, and not "generate 1 gorillion meter to shit out your 50% health combo and then do nothing else with it".
SF6 should have added 6 characters per year instead of 4 as well as more fucking costumes for characters.
the only reason we have retards have this opinion is because 90% of them never played fg's that aren't combo heavy
I know a guy who picked up tekken 8 near release never before having played fighting games and just 50/50d his way to tekken god in 200 hours. In tekken 7 he'd be hardstuck yellow
this was haradas vision for tekken 8 so by all metrics it was a success
Grandblue is STILL getting updates
Fucking hell ArcSys, just make a new game already.
I respect Tekken players for actually having a backbone and shitting on Namco unlike SF6 apologists.
NO the combos that I need to only do TWICE to win a round are NEEDED I CAN'T actually play the game for more than three predictions!
Shit, may as well ask a friend to hold up a random amount of fingers behind his back for you to guess. If you get it right, jack off as a reward.

i definitely needed +6 on hit hatchet kick
Memorizing button inputs to generate a cutscene isn't engaging gameplay, but stray hit fighters aren't either. You need to have balance.
nigga that's what they did and you faggots complained
he shoulda power crushed
Dude I'm at the point where I actually went back to Strive. T8 is genuinely unplayable now.
I don't think you ever got good at a fighting game lil bro, and you didn't even dispute the point about you not playing a non-combo heavy fg, laughing out loud right now.
TMMS has been playing Tekken for 20+ years and he unironically says S2 is great.
which characters are cancer to fight against?
Ehh not really Im still enjoying granblue and that new mecha fighting game iron saga
Jack-8 can just spam Hugo clap you to death if he feels like it.
viewers make fun of LTG for getting upset and complaining about the game
Mfw LTG was right.
Guilty gear is old and forgotten
Strive's player count has good down significantly but don't forget that it also has the same problems that tekken 8 season 2 has with poor defensive options and homogenized cast.
Why does it have a free edition? Do you farm up coins or something?
This is what Harada's ultimate vision for tekken is
grim
was always told tekken was a much more sophisticated game than other fighting games
listen to what tekken players say
they all just complain about how braindead the game is
and how much they hate harada
and how much they hate playing against someone that doesn't let them get away with their cookie cutter combo they've been doing for 3 years
Is SF6 coming to switch 2 essentially a victory lap for Capcom?
But I do play Samurai Showdown and think it's the greatest fighting game series of all time
Kill yourself
tranimal poster can't comprehend things changing with time
none of the fighting game influencers will give this game a chance
Is 7 fun? Might pick it to play with a bud.
unironically yes
the sales for SF6 is going to double because of japan
There's a rotating group of characters you can play with the free version. You can earn currency but you cant buy individual characters from the base game. After you get the base game you can earn coins from daily and weekly missions to buy characters and dlc costumes.
Or you just use the unlocker that turns the demo into the full game and even works online.
tranimal
do you even hear yourself
free version has gran + 3 characters that rotate weekly (dlc included now) plus some other limitations like character level
sure
/thread
it's actually impressive that the t8 devs managed to fuck up THIS badly. it's really hard to process just how bad things are if you aren't familiar with tekken. i seriously don't even know how you would begin to fix something like this other than to relaunch the game.
It's worse than 8 so you tell me.
Tekken is his job, if tekken dies then he can't feed his wife and son so he obviously has to shill it as much as possible
woke slop never wins
what I've heard is it's basically "ok so the game is incredibly heavy on just unrelenting offense and people don't like that, what changes should we make?"
"make defense even harder and every character even more retarded"
t6 and 5dr are the good ones if you want to play old tekken
I'll give it a try. The only fighting games I've played to a decent extent for dbfz and htft. Should I expect it to be similar to those games? Or is it less wacky.
the time is ripe for the RETVRN of SoulCalibur
Granblue is an incredibly straight forward game. It's basically just a street fighter
now that my wife Ilsa is being added I am legally obligated to get back into Grubble
It's only truly over if even journos turn on it
Hi there, fighting enthusiasts! I have a fun idea. Why don't we stop playing slop we don't like and go to Fightcade instead? You can play dozens of GOOD games for free with rollback netcode, can you believe that? Crazy!
and what 3d fighting game on fightcade do you recommend sir?
Namco
Namco was based but it's dead now, there's only Bamco and Bamco is the japanese Activision.
I don't know, but has someone made Anna femdom handjob animation yet? Asking for a friend.
oldslop
good
Also shows that they actually know who their audience is, even if that audience is fucking hues.
Why would I need to go to fightcade? I can still get matches in GGXX and KOFXV just fine.
Just because SF6 and T8 suck donkey dick doesn't mean I want to play with 3rd Strike autists.
Tekken 5r is not on fightcade even though it's objectively the best fighting game ever made, so no.
if fighting games are shit now I can't imagine how bad they were when online wasn't a thing
7 is good. don't listen to fags the regurgitate what their favorite influencer told them
i creamapi'd anna made some customs then played an anna mirror and realized how shit the game is and im likely not playing anymore.
i will either play league or dota2. probably just league since im already good at it.
Tekken 5 specifically is responsible for Tekken 8.
don't forget that swedish faggot literally mashed his way to the top there too. 7 was still playable but it was the beginning of the end.
What does that even mean and why the fuck would it matter at all?
kek
SNK is about to send Bamco a thank-you card for sending a couple more players their way.
SoulCalibur
Seriously, play it. We don't have enough people.
dont care i only play tekken 7 as panda and bear
