Look, I don’t know what it is about T8 but it’s like crack. And this is my first fighting game ever so I’d never thought I’d say that. I’ve always wanted to get into fighting games but I struggled immensely with committing to them because the learning curve is pretty bad if you’ve never played one your entire life lol. ESPECIALLY a 3D one. I tried Street Fighter 6, couldn’t get into it at all despite how “beginner friendly” it is but it just... clicked with T8.
I love watching Tekken streams and just said fuck it, no better time to jump in than now after seeing some 8 clips. This game looked so insanely fun. And I was right. I’m getting my ass handed to me by legacy players but I’m having fun! Learning and wondering why my pee pee brain can’t react fast enough to Jin’s low mixups.
After trying so hard to get into Tekken with 6 and 7, I’m just glad 8 was a bit more welcoming. You have so many wacky characters to pick from too and more to come. You want to play as a bear? We got two. You want to play as a samurai that has SoulCaliber movesets? はい. Or perhaps a sexy, masked wrestler that’s throwing your ass to death and you can’t figure out how to get out of it? Yes (unfortunately).
