Change heat by either: Players build meter Have access to heat OR rage Remove heat and give everyone an install system Buff movement Increase distance on block for certain moves

Playing T6 now I have to remind myself that I can move away from stuff. A big flex with movement before T8 was being able to use it to deal with tactics or lack of knowledge. You could space yourself to see what's goin on. You cant reduce defensive choices AND dogpile offense.

Despite making Tekken easier for almost 20yrs it's still a difficult game. And before I hear idiots I'm not praising T8. It's been a hot mess since beta and I don't agree with the direction they are trying to go with it.

Competitve- having a strong desire to win, succeed, or perform better than others, or operating in an environment where rivalry exists. You dont have to like a game but some of you need to stop lying to yourselves about competitive games.

So is this one of the following: 1. Great job Or 2. Meh It's T8. They let anybody win. Just asking for clarification.

The doom and gloom words of T8: "Game is for scrubs" "Anybody can win" "Players are quitting" "Not real Tekken" Except this has been said for every tekken after Tag1. Should T8 be better? Sure. But this isnt this community's first rodeo with whining.

Plenty of bs in tag2 that can rival t8 based on the way yal whine about things.

"T8 is a party game" "People play this for money" "Can't take serious" Have yal forgotten how grimy fgs used to be and people played for gas money? T8 is down in the dumps but many of you just need to play single player games.

It's a thin line between love and hate. This happens with everything. We're like die hard fans of bad sports teams.

If go to a club that holds 2,000 and theres 3 people you'd say the club is dead. If your business had 2 customers all day you'd say business was dead. When people say a game is "dead" in fgs its also figurative. A game with severely low activity is technically "dead"

I got beat up in the arcade. I found out my area had a thread on a forum for tekken. I read it and they were talking trash about me. I vowed to get good enough to crush their hopes and dreams. Once they saw I was serious I was welcomed in. And here I am now.

"Real Tekken" "Real Movement" "Last great Tekken game" Tag2 was fun but we aren't going to bypass the CRYING that was happening in that game. Tag2 in this climate where people whine about "balance" would fall.

So whats the disconnect between higher level players using him in tournaments? Why don't we have armies of AK in rank or in tourney? The character is strong but where's the rep?

You think this only happens in Tekken 8? Revisionist history at work.

I'm curious. How far away do some of our players outside NA travel to get local competition?

The gray area of competition which is taking risks. Sometimes you have to play a forced hand and swing. Everything won't always be a clear punish or easy mix. In NA we've frowned upon taking these types of the risks to the point where we forget we win by taking them.

Messing around with Tokon Souls. Having fun.

If I were to honestly rate my Tekken skills it would be Movement: C Poking: B Neutral: B Combos: B Execution: C Punishment: B Defense: B Pressure: B Bum status

8 more ranks added since S1. Most of those players GoD and under arent seeing the sharks because they are far ahead in rank. So yea this was going to happen. T8 rank overall was done poorly.

Competitive means the desire to compete. By that alone SC6 failed. SC Community failed. And a game being competitive is based on how many people show up for it. MvC series is wild but comp is there. Smash Bros has to modify game rules but comp is there. Where is SC? Trash
