Good lord this game is fun. Jukebox mode being available on every platform also makes this game goated.

holy hell tekken 7 was really a ps3 game huh, this game's graphics blows 7 out of the water! the gameplay has been refined, the characters are really good here! the story mode is really good?? the final fight?? big chills.. the soundtrack is MAJESTIC! the character customizations are really great here too! though mabey a little too good. would absolutely recommend!

i've always really liked tekken's movement and neutral systems. i like that the characters have a lot of nuanced options/moves, and that the game rewards the time and knowledge you apply to it. but the heat system really emphasizes some big problems with tekken's roster, with too many characters having esoteric knowledge checks and guessing scenarios that become completely overwhelming if you don't study the matchup. this difficulty can be as fun as it is monumentally frustrating. it doesn't help that the online ranked community is full of toxic lowlives who employ the most dishonest possible strategies they can get their grubby hands on, and either one-and-done you or plug when their strategy isn't working.

i think the game's very enjoyable overall, especially with its improved online infrastructure, but it definitely needs balancing. more counterplay needs to be added to heat systems and the top tiers' craziest moves.
also, please give asuka her backdash back :(

"Our bold new vision for Mario Kart is to give every player two free blue shells at the start of every lap, plus a third one if they fall behind... Wait, why does nobody enjoy the races anymore?"

This game's insurmountable difficulty and my complete inability to grasp it the way I wish I could is a huge reason why I find it so devastatingly attractive.
