>>Fuckyourmom is the next dlc character

third strike is the better game

all the pros hate it

They are, and we knew it for a while too based on the localization file. Which means we also know that Marduk is next lmao.

Why can't we just get a normal looking Muay Thai dude?

I uninstalled weeks ago. I actually started to win more with season 2, but the game is so shit to play that winning made me feel like losing. It's insane how awful the game feels to play and I played one of the worst characters in the game in season 1.

Because it's boring
Look at Fuck. He is so cool and original.

much easier to animate if they're taller I think is the root cause

Your dreadful English grammar first.

Tekken 8 is really trying to speed run its death.
It might take several months or even a year until they probably fix enough shit to be playable again.

fix

good joke.

They will make an attempt but the situation with 8 is fucking DIRE.
The best thing about this is that its a big advertisement for virtua fighter at least. It might have more than 5 players this time.

I mean season 2 should tell you that these people have no idea what they're doing and should never be allowed to make a videogame ever again. it's hopeless.

i dont know if anyone even like fahk at all
people only play him cause hes strong
leroy is at least kinda cool design wise

i dont know if anyone even like fahk at all

It's actually amazing how hard they are trying to sabotage the game.

Apologize.

every character available to date

no guest characters

pure Tekken gameplay, no shitty gameplay mechanics like armor moves, rage arts, heat,

fairly balanced all things considred (over 50 characters out the gate)

no paid DLC, it was for free

jam packed with game content

decent customization (not as good as T6 but the decals make up for it)

powered by the Octave Engine, give the game a unique look

really good lighting

great OST

great stages

last Tekken game with actual skill to master a character (the skill ceiling was brutal but rewarding, as it should be)

each character was unique

optional 1v1 AND 2v1

the last Tekken game to have "personality"

the last Tekken game to actually have real oki

great movement

Tekken Tunes is better than Jukebox because you can add any music to your liking and have it selected to certain parts/stages

If it was good it wouldn't have flopped.

the best things in this world are niche

I FUCKED YOUR MUM

Niche doesn't mean flop.

who cares about pros, why would a noob play it if he's going to get raped with no chance of fighting back. Modern fighting games are fucking garbage.

TRVTH NUKE you can't make a good game if you cater to everyone.

This shit was so fucking bad, I know tag was never a "balanced" game but seriously what the fuck

You don't need to cater to everyone to avoid being a flop.

Stop acting like a woman and elaborate tranny faggot

Did they learn nothing from the backlash they already got? Did anyone even like this character?

What is there to elaborate? It's as clear as it can be. KoF sells like 5, maybe 6 copies per entry and it's still going strong 30 years later, because niche doesn't mean flop.

World's best Soul Calibur 2 player

release game

little to no advertising

gee I wonder why it flopped?

The game was abondoned way too early, also only regulated to consoles at the time with no PC port/release.
A TT2 on modern hardware with cross play and a decent netcode would obliterateT8.

Tanaka san...

THAI KICK

TTT was a good game, TTT2 was a party game

God, I NEED Tekken World Tour to have so few tickets sold that the event is cancelled. I need the streams to be desolate and for this game to die.

At this point. Harada should leak the source code for Tekken 7 so the fans can mod it into what Tekken 8 should have been. Bamco can't, won't and shouldn't be in charge of Tekken anymore, it's beyond obvious that they have exactly zero intention of as much as considering what fans want, if anything it seems like any consideration is to figure out how to gaslight us into thinking they are care.

ESL, Autistic, Retarded or all three.

Anyways that reply was so fucking braindead it makes not want to browse this site anymore.

Oh please, it had no story, casuals need their shitty fighting game stories by the time TTT2 came out.

little to no advertising

Cope excuse that always gets brought up by you retards with no evidence. It had trailers and playable demos at several events like Gamescom, E3 and TGS (youtube.com/watch?v=pwCdDUFaE24). There were even TV commercials (youtube.com/watch?v=T0P6z5POnDk).

Fighting games flop not because of how good they are mechanically or how much they serve the core fanbase.
It has to do with how much they can drag in normal gamers.
The original TTT1 only got by because it was at the (then) height of Tekken's popularity and it was a launch title for the PS2.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 just by its name was destined to be obscure. Tekken 7 was not.

I know tag was never a "balanced"

What fighting game is balanced?

This shit was so fucking bad

TT2 was Tekken as Tekken can get.
By no means it was a flawless game, like I mentioned the biggest issues were the clone characters that you can pick as teams (that shit was really cancer), but that doesn't make the game bad all around.
An updated port that can fix those issues, also a mode to let you play till both characters are defeated would be godlike.

It didn't flop you gigantic retards. 3S (fukken masterpiece) flopped, TTT2 didnt

Countless games have done well with way less advertising than this btw.

If TTT2 hadn't flopped we would have TTT3 by now.

Tekken as Tekken can get.

Thank god T8 is killing it then

ok retard.

I accept your concession.

It's not just 3S that flopped, newfaggot. It was SF3 as a whole.
And TTT2 basically did flop because it was borderline declared a flop by its creators. Flop means "failed to live up to expectations". Nothing more.
This isn't accurate. T4 and TTT1 definitely sold way more than T5 DR for instance.

ok retard

SF3

It got three separate versions, it flopped so hard they decided to update it twice?

This isn't accurate.

True, here's a more accurate chart.

TT1 had no story, and that shit was super popular in the arcades and did well as far as I know.

Cope excuse that always gets brought up by you retards with no evidence

Yes it had advertising but it was only regulated during launch, there were no seasons to support it the same way Capcom did for SF4.
The ads lasted for literally the initial launch and that was it.

Thank god T8 is killing it then

I wouldn't even call T8 a Tekken game.

I said by the time TTT2 came out. TTT1 came out in fucking 1999, everyone loved Tekken at the time cause of Tekken 3.

SNK had to get funding from the Saudi Arabian government to keep operating, idiot.

T4 and TTT1 definitely sold way more than T5 DR

In all fairness, DR was an update and not a separate game which also didn't have a physical release for the PS3.

Soulcalibur sends its regards.

Eat shit, limb based combat fags.

SC

Your series is deader than the deadest Tekken game.

Yes it had advertising but it was only regulated during launch,

I said cut it with the shit excuses. That's the standard ass marketing for most games, Tekken 5 didn't need seasons to the best selling Tekken of all time until 7.

lol
VI did everything right way too late, they had no faith behind them.

You're next, fuckboy.

The only thing 6 did wrong was having shitty netcode and one universal mechanic that is literally irrelevant past bronze

Tekken 8 hasn't done anything right since release.

Better to have ended with a decently-regarded game than one of the biggest fuck yous in videogame history that made everyone hate Tekken 8.

lmao

Sunk cost fallacy. Did you just figure out that the refreshes (New Generation, Second Impact, Third Strike) were all desperate attempts at reinvigorating the game back then? Capcom loves doing this shit, they've done it for SF2 which got even more refreshes pre-SF3 because it was obviously successful.
Funny how reviewers said T4 was the same old game as the previous entries and then proceeded to suck off T5 when it released, despite it being closer to T3 than T4.
Yeah, exactly. That's why you can tell that list was bullshit.

T5

a damn good fighting game

jam packed with content up the ass

did well

I would argue that T5 didn't even need advertisement to sell good.

included Tekken 1-3 (arcade versions)

Devil Within

can play some classic Namco titles during the load screen

customization

Ghost mode

other classic single player modes like survival and team battle

which got even more refreshes pre-SF3 because it was obviously successful.

So are the refreshes because it sucked or because it was successful?

Just put Bruce back in.

muh advertising

Stop with this senseless cope already. T7 had about the same amount of marketing.

x.com/Genki_JPN/status/1921376808596803692

And the crowd goes mild

Different circumstances, the main reason why T7 did well was because everything else sucked, especially SF5.

Try standing out during the era when Marvel 3 and SF4 were still running. Its literally impossible

This shit would've been planned half a year to a year in advance or longer. A terrible, unliked character being the follow-up to the catastrophe of version 2.0 was basically an unavoidable mess since he was the next in line either way.

the craziest part are the balance update announcements.
they literally tell us the next balance update will not be good, thats why you get 2.3 in summer
i have not seen a more incompetent developer in years

I really hope you are not a 30+ balding retard, seek help if you are.

Sad really, what the fuck are they doing? Why are they doing it? T7 was actually a decent game, so why are they doing this to T8?

I've only played Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection did I again play the worst game in the franchise?

no

empty seats

Not really a good look

Did you have fun?

tekken 7 did well in spite of the retarded developer decisions because the only other fighting game of similar relevance at the time was jive(lol). but the retarded devs in their infinite wisdom came to the conclusion that tekken 7's success was due to nakatsu being a visionary who could steer the tekken franchise to new heights.
that brings us to tekken 8 which features nakatsu's brightest idea yet, a mechanic that facilitates aggression in a game with no backdashing and expanded stancefaggotry so holding back to block essentially puts you in time out until your opponent's heat wears off

As a consoomer it's easy for me to say

just delay that shit for the (unlikely) better shit that follows

But they can't do that, they have a strict schedule that is really just fucking them in the ass. It must suck to be Harada.

DLC character from previous game is again DLC character

how the hell nobody complains about this?
dlc character should be

new character

old character that was absent the last game

and that's it, anything else is just scam

The question is were the fuck is everybody?
If you watch Murray's and Harada's facial expression during the announcement it looks like they knew the reception was going to be bad.

Why are they doing it? T7 was actually a decent game, so why are they doing this to T8?

This is the same team that sold us frame date, made every character a power house and released both Fahk and Leroy as a broken mess.
Simply put, complete disconnect and out of touch with the community and forgot what made Tekken so great to begin with.
Also I'm suspecting heavy cooperate mingling going on, I mean they are heavily advertising a movie of some sort:
youtube.com/watch?v=KstN80dSn60
DR is regarded as the best in the series in terms of balancing and technical gameplay.
youtube.com/watch?v=ml-PnFgCoQo
I believe it was KingJea went around and asked some of the best Tekken players what is their favorite Tekken game and DR was their pick.

how the hell nobody complains about this?

literally everyone is complaining about this, you fucking moron

i'm complaining about it right now. in fact you're in a thread of a lot of people complaining about it

they are fucking retarded, thats why. the moment they showed fucking chip damage, in Tekken, i knew it would be a mess

They wanted the SF6 / MK audience and i wish i was joking

The question is were the fuck is everybody?

People are there. That's the VIP section, you had to pay extra for it. Nobody wanted to so they're all force to sit in the back.

Well that backfired because I think this looks like shit.

t. plays sf and MK

it didn't backfired it sold well, you are simply not the audience anymore.

tekken has the drooling retard casual fanbase and sf6 has black people chimping out. People that like fightan and vidya got kicked out of their hobby

Terrible scrub talk

It sold well, and everyone that bought it is pissed

no, you are complaining because the character is trash, almost nobody was complaining with anna or lucia because they were chicks but is the same shit

You talk like a woman, that's funny. You will never be one, you just sound like a huge bitch.

he watches Max

You sound like a boot licking faggot, guess we can keep this going for another 20 replies.

Neither, but you get MORE refreshes (like SF2 compared to SF3) if it was successful.

replaced Bruce

they don't even use the same style and nobody likes Bruce anyway, so he "replaced" no one

the fact that you know exactly what that anon is referring to means you do as well

terminally online loser thinks everyone is a waste of life just like he is

Oh lmao.

Tekken has been boring since they pussed out after 4.

season 2 is a trainwreck but at least things cant get worse

Time for Bamco to make FighterZ 2.

fighterz

bamco

you'd have a complete and utter trainwreck worse than bamco's personal final patch

This is Abigail-tier in terms of retarded reveals.

FighterZ 2.

Who the fuck is still playing this

on his way to save Tekken 8

Tekken is flopping. CHADgon CHAD without new content is literally carrying Bamco. They should apologize to ArcSys and make FighterZ 2.

That's cool man, have fun.

Did Toriyama's death boost sales?

Tekken is popular is Europe and Korea, but it's quite small in Japan, which really rubs the devs (especiall Harada) the wrong way, especially after SF6 became so huge over there. Because of this, they are trying to implement things they believe made SF6 popular in Japan, not understanding that 3D fighters are actually different from 2D fighters.

Literally just a brown Jack Hanma. Harada is just too stubborn to add Baki and Yujiro in this game.

Tekken is dead. Retard devs are just making their own animeslop 2D version of Tekken.

Yeah...but I could have imagined it.

Honestly I think I know why they do it, too: solely for eSports showmanship. It looks cool to have this bullshit flashy crap all over the place, for someone to hit a player once and then combo them for the next 10-14 seconds with impunity, it makes it look like, "Wow, they really tried hard to get that far and pull this off." Probably not coincidentally, this coincided with Tekken 7 having the intro of Jin and Kazuya moving to punch each other to a cheering crowd.

They'd rather ass fuck the series to be all about flash with next to no substance anymore and they're finding out, "Oops the eSports scene doesn't care for that shit, everyone wants a game with some fucking substance."

Only south-americans like the actual people still caring about DB.

Kill yourself Murray you crashed the series with no survivors

This. Tekken dying is a good thing anyways.

muay thai shorts is baki thing now?

Sparking Zero and Daima came out.

Despite his small size somehow I get the feeling that man can punch a tree in half

No, being so over-exaggeratedly muscular as to look deformed and hideous is a Baki thing.

If he was an actually huge giganigga like he seemed to be in the first few seconds of his T7 reveal trailer I think that'd be cool
Make him Kuma-sized (so Bear combos work on him as well) and make him unsafe on a lot more of his shit to make up for his huge range, at least he'd be sort of unique relatively speaking

Tekken 5/DR is the absolute pinnacle of the entire series, no other entry can compete with its roster or sovl

Bryan replaced Bruce originally, then Bruce came back with a modified moveset
then Josie came in and replaced Bruce with a way better version of Bruce's moveset than what Bruce ever had, Bruce was the braindead boring faggot character in Tag 2, the sort people complain about now
Fahkumram replaces Josie, not Bruce, Bruce got gaped by Bryan and Josie before that

T8 absolute dogshit

soive source code leaked and players getting fucked

SF6 is Slimeville uncanny valley

Fatal Fury flopped hard

Grim at the moment

Thanks I hate it

why is Capcom using that freaky artstyle for all of their games now anyway, can the engine not do anything else well somehow

i like it when aris calls him fuckmar that always makes me laugh
t. never played a fighting game in my life

I fucking hate this character.
He's supposed to represent Muay Thai. So why is he so FUCKING HUGE? Thai's are not known for being huge. This is some Street Fighter bullshit influence.

I want to play as a tiny Thai guy doing crazy flying knees and shit. Give me Ong Bak. Give me Rodtang. Fuck outta here with these giant steroid machines.

It's not on PC., neither is Tekken 5. Tekken 6

Emulation doesnt count.

REverse technically did some cel-shading shit but very lazily since it was a super low budget project. It's entirely artistic intent and them trying to appeal to western audiences through western appearances despite keeping their gameplay japanese, and frankly I don't think it's working for anything but RE.

I thought fuckyourmom was the coolest dlc character in 7 and he had a really good theme.

Dogshit choice for art style, I didn't know how good we had it in 4 until we had 5 and 6.

5 looks great outside a very small handful of characters like Ken. It wouldn't have been Coomer Fighter V otherwise.

5 was better than 6 but it wasn't great man. The series does better being stylized in lower detail. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

My dick says otherwise regarding Karin and Kolin.

Hey now, you could always come and mash 66L in Rising!

He may have been recycled Tekken x Street Fighter Sagat assets, we know that some characters for that game were heavily worked on and near completion before it got canned

They are outsourcing models to India, resulting in freakish abominations that barely resemble man because the people making them are freakish abominations that barely resemble man.

that "look" is generic pbr materials being applied over random street fighter designs

It just works.
It's not good though. People shit on arksys but they are doing insane work with their designs and the technical way it's done.

Um.... TEKKENCHUDS!!!!!?
youtube.com/watch?v=NnyE4tsQ3w8&ab_channel=VIRTUAFIGHTER

furry shit

Catharsis of the Wolves is the last good fighting game.

Keep coping.
Saudi of the Wolves is not going to last, and both SF6, 2xko, and VF6 will overshadow it completely.

Where the fuck is my wife?

You would be correct, he is one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters of all time. Saenchai.

Virtua Fighter 6 is also a Saudi game
To be honest I'd rather a game be Saudi funded and have a small playerbase (as long as I can find people online consistently that's good enough for me) than whatever the direction was for SF6 and Tekken 8 was

She was so dogshit in revolution
tekken 7 she wasn't even a tekken character
She was the prototype for tekken 8 characters

No its a Sonic game.
VF6 was funded by the success of Sonic. No Saudi blood money involved.
Yes Saudi's love virtua fighter but Sega's hands are clean.

I'm willing to put up with Rising's bullshit because its problems, while very real, aren't as bad as what the other fighters are going through. I can play in the lobby and still enjoy the game without putting myself through the stress of ranked.

Also Total Beatrix Death was accomplished this weekend. I'm quite satisfied with how top cut turned out.

Yes that might be true but all I have to do is tell the bot to say otherwise on twitter and people will virtue signal whichever direction makes the icon have the number next to it

Who was that Saudi guy in the Virtua Fighter 6 reveal trailer then? I don't even have an issue with Saudis funding games, they saved boxing as a sport and they're saving fighting games now too as far as I'm concerned, they don't seem any less immoral than elite businessmen from elsewhere

Sega's hands are clean

Aren't they known as THE yakuza front money laundering video games company, not the only one but the one everyone is aware of?

Who was that Saudi guy in the Virtua Fighter 6 reveal trailer then?

There was no saudi guy the dude in the reveal trailer is japanese.
youtube.com/watch?v=pmeGL2JP9N0&ab_channel=SEGA
Also

Muh Yakuza

The Yakuza hasn't been relevant or dangerous for a long fucking time and are actively dying out as an organization.

Most of the yakuza are either retired or in jail.

This guy, he had a bit after the Nvidia guy spoke in that longer presentation for the reveal of the game
youtube.com/watch?v=nucpkCLmkxY

They're still around laundering money and involved in police/government corruption, prostitution and drugs
